Thinking Ahead.


It's not the easiest thing to talk or think about but I want to make it as easy as possible when Gina and Les have to make my plans, I know if I post things here my sister Twila who reads my blog will help them find things as I will put a label to help them find. I love this urn! I love colors like green and aqua but Gina likes warm colors so this is a wonderful way to mix our tastes and she can display since she is my Keeper of the Urn ;) Les, Mama and any one that wants a part of me can have a piece of jewelry made, too!
I forgot to say yesterday I got $100 from Janette and $50 from Danny, Cathy, Robert and Wanda, I am so touched by how everyone has helped me so I do not have the stress of worrying about money this time!
Twila brought me a great bag for my oxygen today! It is perfect, she worked so hard to get me just the right thing and I sure appreciate it! Will take pictures later, I need to finish packing I just have not felt like finishing up, yet.

Friday, February 10, 2012

Got a check in the mail from Lynn and James Rodgers who we went to school with for $75! We have been so blessed that our trip is paid for and I do not have to get Gina to pay for any of the hotel this time which makes me feel good! Getting ready to go after church Sunday.

Thursday, February 9, 2012

I am going to turn in early tonight! A friend of Kathie's sent us $100 to help with Duke! We have been communicating on Facebook and she wanted to do something special! Other than that today was uneventful except enjoying the babies!

Wednesday Feb. 8

Did really well today, Sold $42 worth of jewelry and a special relative gave me $20 and sent snacks to travel, Goldfish will be very popular in our car, LOL! I did look up apartments and how many Autozones and we could afford to live there awhile if we had to.
I now have made almost $250 selling jewelry and gifts from friends, family and my Birthday Money! It make me feel great I don't have to take $$$ to pay power bill or anything to travel on!

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

I found a sight that talks a little about my glassware I have that Aunt Sylvia gave me, I wanted Gina to have it but she really doesn't want it and Jeremy and Juli have no need for it and my nieces would sell it so I don't know what I want to do, I am going to start pareing down though and getting rid of things, the more I think about it the more it makes sense. It's silly for me to hold on to material stuff that just makes clutter, I have packed up most of my VW's I may start selling some of them off, I don't know... I ate lunch with Marie and was so out of breath when I got home, I really had to lay down. It is just too hard to do anything any more

Too Much on my mind



I actually went to bed just after 11 last night but after reading some of the paperwork and the contract for Duke my mind is racing and I can't sleep. It said that if you live over 2 hours from Durham you need to relocate there before the surgery. This is really something I am going to have to talk to them about, If I can't spend time with Charli, Ames and Gina I know I will not care to get up in the mornings. I look at all this stuff I have, too, I am giving away clothes whenever I can and have packed up most of my VW's and stuff and am trying to get rid of stuff just in case I have to put things in storage or something and even asked for no birthday gifts (even Gina was good) but people that care about me keep giving me things that are nice but just make my problem worse. I am donating my books to church and think about doing an online yard sale with Facebook, I got 3 MORE orders tonight from a girl I went to school with, that makes 6 orders total Monday! I am going to throw away or donate toys and some of the other junk in my room and am thinking about selling some of my VW's.
I made my reservations for Duke and have to call to sett up my air. I talked to the man that owns the company called MedStay where they help people to relocate with transplants and he said he had apartments to lease but a motel for long stay is a good option, they serve breakfast and dinner 4 nights plus will shuttle you to Duke BUT it costs about $2000 a month. There is no way I can keep paying rent and utilities and pay that! As much as I hate to think about it I might have to put everything in storage and try to find another house when we get back. Well after I get back from Duke I guess we will have decisions to make.. I may not even be approved and it won't matter. That still means getting rid of stuff that clutters my life to make it easier on Les. I don't want to go through him having to decide what to keep when I have way too much and feel stressed about it. Little things add up so fast, when I was a teacher they all gave me coffee cups and I have 2 sets of them to match my dishes plus Twila gave me some cute Disney ones today so I have over 25 coffee cups! It's bad enough that when something gets broken I just think well that's something I don't have to deal with!
I did send Jeremy some of my art supplies. I may get a set rate box and send more, or I might give some to Christian at church I bet he would enjoy pastels. I guess I am feeling overwhelmed at the thought of leaving Greenwood. I do have a girl I went to school with that lives near Durham and she said I could stay there so maybe she could help find a room to rent to help us out.
I took a Benadryl to help me rest, supposed to go to lunch with Marie so I need to get up at a decent time so I need to go to bed soon.

Monday, February 6, 2012

Got $30 in the mail from England today plus made $20 more and got 3 orders! By Friday I will have over $200 I have made myself with jewelry to go to Duke! Twila came over and we brainstormed about making a backpack to carry my air in, I did forget that I go to lunch with Marie tomorrow but I carried it around before I got the bag ;)

I made $36 more towards Duke, I need to set up my room and oxygen soon! I have several Family trees made and should have a good bit of jewelry money to pay for hotel! I love that I can make money and don't have to have hand outs, It makes me mad when people treat me like I am so broke and pitiful! Actually we are better off than we ever have been but I have to be careful and not spend extra and go crazy. Of course we owe lots of doctors and medicines take a chunk out of the budget but if I want something special like getting this computer I can do it!
Had a fabulous turn out at Church to dedicate the Multi Purpose room!

Saturday, February 4, 2012

Went to see Kathie and 'Nette was there, Carol Bowling came and bought $10 jewelry and 'Nette bought $20 worth. I think I am going on to bed, nothing on TV and don't feel up to farming tonight. Let myself get too stressed today and I am worn out.

Friday, February 3, 2012

Went to Cracker Barrel with Gina and the kids, I said I didn't want a big deal this year and if anyone wanted to give me anything just put a few dollars to help me get to Duke. It was nice.

Thursday, February 2, 2012

February 2

Cyndy Fuller came over and we were going to make jewelry but ending up swapping beads and talking and she gave me 68 pairs of earrings to sell and some beautiful family trees! She wanted to help me get the money to go to Duke, she had priced the earrings at $2 each so that is what I will sell them for, I thought that was so wonderful of her! We go way back to Southside where she sat in front of me, so we have been friends 40 years. We also went to church together at NS Baptist.
Noel had the baby last night! Matthew Colin, Nic and Jennifer are adopting him so they are very excited. I said I wish he had waited just a couple of hours to be born on the 3rd, LOL!

Wednesday, February 1, 2012


While I laid down with Ames Mama came and played with Charli then her Pop came home for lunch, when I got up she was watching Curious George on my computer and she had a sucker in her mouth. I got Ames some milk and grapes and me a cereal bar which she wanted too so I gave her that. I later see the evidence she left on my desk, LOL! She ate a total of 8! Thank goodness she only has 1 left so I put it in my pocketbook and do not have to deal with them any more! I spend a lot on healthier snacks like yogurt and fruit snacks. The suckers were from Papa Doug for her to share with church friends. She did share a few ;)

Tuesday, January 31, 2012




I put out I was taking orders for Family Tree pendants and now have over 10 to make! A good friend from when we went to Jr High is coming over and we are going to have a girl's night and she said she would help me, She is also selling some of her earrings cheap and donating the money to me, I think that is so sweet!
Charli had to make some jewelry since I was. She made a bracelet and I let her put ear wires on paper clips so she made 3 pairs of earrings. She was proud!
David Richitelli, a boy I went to school with, passed away this week end. I am not sure what he died from but he was in hospital 3 times, near death twice and had major surgery all in 2011. He just turned 51 in December.

Monday, January 30, 2012


Found this version of hair spirals today! I love them!

Sunday, January 29, 2012


I want to share with you a Super Place for recycled jewelry! I found her earrings months ago made from milk jugs and liked her shop at Etsy. Today I got an email so I could enter a contest. I tried several times to add this on my right side but have not had luck, yet but I hope you will stop by and see her pieces!

I opened my last bag of Candy Cane kisses yesterday, this year they were harder to find, Wal-Mart and Walgreens had them but many other places did not, I ended up having about 8 bags I think and the kids and I shared them. I will be so glad when Ames starts talking, he can say Mama, Dadddy, POP, hi, bye and calls Cora. NO MEME YET, LOL! He can repeat words sometimes and he can follow directions really well, like "pick up your paci'" and he answers yes and no by shaking his head and answers the right answer.
Gina came over and cleaned my floors good and while she was here Jeff fell and Les and Trey took him to ER where Mama stayed with him. He is bruised up pretty good but is OK.
A friend of our, Shirley Easler Starzman passed away, she was sitting watching TV with her husband and he looked over and she had foam coming out of her mouth. How sad!

Saturday, January 28, 2012

Spent most of the day in bed, kids are over now so I am watching them, Ames was crying when Charli got in my lap ;)

Friday, January 27, 2012


Had a short day with kids today, Charli kept picking on Ames so I sent her to play with Jeff for awhile. Got my Bale making pliers so tomorrow I plan to play with them. Hey, I found the earrings I thought Les had thrown away! I am going to fix them and get back to Mom, have not told her yet I found them!
This is a picture taken the last night Seth was here, he was eating Twizzlers and Les was picking on him. Les was in a very bad mood, he had worked with Debbie and came home snappy. He went to bed early, thank goodness ;)

Ames' Valentine


I decided to go ahead and make a simple Valentine card for Ames using Home Sweet Home again from CathyK Designs. You need to grab it before it's gone!
FINALLY I printed a backlog of pictures for Gina, it ended up being over 300! They were from Ames, Charli and Seth's parties, Halloween and Christmas. Les found me a power supply for my EHD for $30. I do need it but want to wait until after I go to Duke, I want money toward Duke and no gifts this birthday, I am still putting off making jewelry, just not up to it but hopefully this week end I will get them done. One goes to England and the money must have gotten lost in mail, I have another to send to Canada, they are hair coils for her daughter for prom. Shipping is the bad part ;) but it is cool my jewelry is going international! I feel bad I lost a pair of earrings that my Mama gave me to fix while I was at Charli's party and I didn't even remember then I realized that Les probably threw them away because I had them in a bag I keep in car and totally out of character he started cleaning trash out of car and saw trash in top and threw away while I was in the house.

Seth's Birthday!


Today was Seth's Birthday, I am so glad we got to spend it with him while they were here! I hope we can see him more often!
Les still feels very bad and I felt super lazy and Ames and I laid around and played quietly and cuddled and he played with Charli, he can't quite get the hang of keeping her as entertained as I do ;). He went to school for Do-nuts for Dad since Trey can't go, I think he was tickled but felt bad, too, because Ames saw him and cried until he came back to get him. He said Ames almost made himself sick! He had to go with Charli and he should not have let Ames see him, I guess.
I hope he starts feeling much better!
I HAVE GOT to start making some jewelry! I just do not feel like it!

Monday, January 23, 2012


I saw this on PINTEREST today! Thank goodness she loved it and had worn her Princess outfit so I used the Face Book Train freebie from FPD, Charli loved it!
Les has a kidney infection and stones. I was so hoping we could make it through a month with out him being sick! Missed work today will be off next two days any way. We have got to get some money ahead to pay for hotel, gas and food at Duke, I am really disappointed but have come to accept that is what living with him is like.

How to Make Bead and Wire Hearts for Jewelry - The Beading Gem's Journal


How to Make Bead and Wire Hearts for Jewelry - The Beading Gem's Journal

I am sitting here finishing off my zucchini bread my neighbor baked for me and drinking a cup of hot chocolate. Twila gave me a big box and Charli and I have almost finished the box. I add International Delight Almond Joy creamer to it, YUM! Any way I am blog hopping catching up on some I follow and many have stopped all together and even took their's down!
I want to go back and try this heart necklace. I hope Hobby Lobby has this tool because it will make life simpler :)
Other than church nothing much happening around here, Yesterday they took Debbie to ER, she has vertigo and is grieving too much, she even has Mickey's picture as her profile on FB! So sad!
Oh, I did watch election results, I didn't have my heart in it but went ahead and voted Newt because I believe Romney will be out of touch with the average man. He got SC which means in 3 primaries we have had 3 winners. Now Florida is next, I am thinking they will go Romney but in this race I could be fooled!

Friday, January 20, 2012


I had the kids all day today, after Ames and I took our nap Charli and I watched Happy Birthday videos on You Tube.
I got my call from Duke to schedule my tests to see if I can get a transplant. It is Feb. 13, 14 and maybe 15. I am sure we will go Sunday if the Hotel is not too much.

Thursday, January 19, 2012



Charli and I watched Arthur today and he learned to knit from his grand mother but he was afraid to let anyone know so Charli decides she can do that so I got my needles and pink thread and she started unwinding the yarn 'knitting' So cute!
She brought home the sweetest book from school called Fannie's Hat, I couldn't even read it all! It made me think of Hassie & Grandmama! I had to get a tissue!

Wednesday, January 18, 2012



I took this at naptime, he keeps me on the edge of the bed, LOL, after nap he picked up the Piglet puppet and started jabbering, he is so adorable! Charli then decided to put stickers all around her face, they really make me a happy Meme!

Tuesday, January 17, 2012



We did end up going to play with Seth last night before he left for Atlanta today. I talked to her about not sending us pictures and how I have so many of Charli and Ames but the last picture I have of her family is before Seth was born! She promised she would send them when she got home!

Monday, January 16, 2012

Sorry, just a rant today, best not to read


Today's post is just getting something off my chest so it is really not a good share but I want it down so when I am no longer around it is known how I really felt!
Seth will be going home in a couple of days, I really am sad that he and Charli fought so much I couldn't handle them together, he ended up with Julie spending so much time with Nicole and Suzan that they know him much better than I do. That really saddens me, I know Jeremy would be sad, too, but I just need to be thankful I have Charli and Ames. It is hard too that Seth is not potty trained, he is much to old to make excuses for and let him refuse to go to the bathroom. He was late for his own party because he wet himself and when Les and I took him and Charli to Crackerbarrel he wet himself even though Les took him to the bathroom. I am thinking how Jeremy needs to be home for him. I am afraid if something happens he will have such faint memories of me. It looks like I don't try but I honestly do. I have pictures every where of Charli and Ames but she has them made and just sends me the link to see them, I asked her to get with Gina and have the kids together at Walmart for Christmas, she comes in showing me what she got her Daddy for Christmas bragging on how he collects Mickey Mouse ornaments and what did see give Les and I? Nothing. No simple picture, nothing to back up all the "Oh you really mean so much to me" that I hear.
Well that is all I am going to say on that, I have myself tearing up, I was so good to her and the kids, Getting her a recipe book like I got Gina and making sure I was not cheap with them. It will all come out one day and want it to be know that I was shut out of much of his life and that made it easier to be Meme to Charli and Ames and all my best memories are with them.

Sunday January 15

Charli had her party at Fire Dept today, will upload pictures later, She really had a great time and was so glad to have Ashlyn there!

Cathy K's Home Sweet Home
I LOVE Saving Star! I have over $10 in my account now. You pick the ecoupons and the money goes into a savings account until you ready to cash in, You can use paper and Bi-Lo ecoupons with them!

Friday the 13th


Of course I am sittting here after 12 thinking "I didn't post today" LOL!
I slept too much I think, I had to get up at 8 for the kids then Ames and I took a nap then I was reading and went to sleep for a good 2 hour nap ;)
I was sitting here and my air tank started leaking and ended up blowing a gasket and had to call Lincare who will bring me a concentrator in the morning that I will have to use until Monday. Les had to set it on the porch where the air is leaking out!

Thursday, January 12, 2012



How could you Not love this sweet face? He is so cuddly and loving! I will be so glad when he is talking more, I want to hear I love you, Meme!

Tuesday, January 10, 2012



Charli baby is sleeping over, she left a list of how to take care of Splits, she is a feed and wet and doesn't have a diaper on ;)
She wanted to sleep over tonight, she was a little lonely and was so glad when I got up from nap with Ames she cried, she had watched a movie on Les's computer in our room and told me she wanted to play. Jeff had told her to come in there but he is still in pain and was laying down. I sat and held her awhile and then we played computer games which made her very happy.

Monday, January 9, 2012


I got my letter from Duke today, they are getting OK from my insurance company so I can go get the tests done to see if I qualify for lung transplant. I will have to stay up to 5 days, I wish I had a laptop now so I could keep up with my game and stuff, LOL!

Sunday, January 8, 2012



My Mom and Les are in the ER with Jeff, he fell out of the bed again and can't walk straight, he doesn't seem to have a bruise on his back but may have messed up insidee. Took the kids to church this morning, Ames came with Gina and was good sitting through church, he usually has to go to back. Charli is excited about her birthday party at te Fire Dept. Seth will have his Saturday, I am not sure about the details.

THEY SENT JEFF HOME WITH PAIN MEDS, THINK HE JUST BRUISED SOMETHING. HE IS SLEEPING NOW.

Saturday, January 7, 2012


It is a real challenge to try to get the kids in one picture! I had several attempts, LOL!
I spent time today cleaning up my office I got clear totes at Kmart to put my yarn and clth in so I can see. Still looking for a box for tree, it is too big for one at Wal-Maart which cost $30!

Friday Jan 6



It was warm here today, in the 60's I think, Julie brought me Seth and he and Charli were better though not getting along the best BECAUSE Charli had fell and scraped her knee and arm and was hobbling around, so funny. She actually let me put a bandage on it and thanks me ;). We took them to Crackerbarrel and Gina decided to join us and it was nice. Seth ate his whole pancake and a little bacon, Charli ate cheesy eggs, 3 pcs of bacon pancake and orange slice. They were good at the restaurant. At the end Charli got made Seth loved her brother =0). I took a video of her hobbling around, she milked it for everything even sitting on sofa for 2 hours!

OH AND I AM SO EXCITED! JEREMY FIGURED OUT HOW TO SEND TEXTS USING HIS WASHINGTON PHONE NUMBER! WE TEXTED BACK AND FORTH FOR A LONG TIME. We have been communicating more lately and that's great!

Jan 4, Nanny's birthday


Sitting here watching Clemson play WV at Orange Bowl, at 2nd quarter WV is winning 28-17. I just saw the best play I haveever seen, Clemson guy was down almost touching enzone and plied on and a WV player took the ball out of his hand running 99yd for a TD! That was impressive!
I thought of Nanny several times today, I really do miss her!
Kids were very good today, Charli watched Tangles as Ames slept then we plays on Nick Jr site coloring and playing games.
I still can't get my pictures off old computer yet :(

GAME ENDED wv 70 TO CLEMSON 33

Tuesday, January 3


I love being up late! I love to sleep in, too, LOL! We went a got Charli for about 4 hours and took her to library and watched videos and movie, had a really nice time, she told me over and over I was smart because I was explaining things to her and let her play FV. It was a nice day, very cold though, I think it stayed in the 30's!

Winter Vacation by Cathy K




I am starting to find my way around the Xara Photo & Graphic Designer and also found a free copy of very basic DIP so am making a couple pages and Les a Facebook Timeline page with Winter Vacation by Cathy K.
Once I get more familar with it it is an awesome program and can do so much!
The calendar stamp is by Lisete Scrap and is free on her blog

Gamecocks win Capital One Bowl!






A pretty good day, Charli came over and watched the game with me, she was in charge of the Carolina Teddy and danced her when we got points, after the first 2 point conversion she said "A bird's gotta do what a bird's gotta do" Well we won beating Nebraska 30 - 13. Julie brought Seth over and he popped Charli and I calmed her down then I sent her to get her scissors and he decided HE wanted to do it and started hitting her, I had to call Gina and get her to pick Charli up which I didn't like at all but she was with Nicole in the ER and he couldn't go in. I did manage to get them decorating gingerbread cookies which they looked.

A new year 1/1/12



I am actually posting this late but we had a nice day. Spent last night cuddling on the couch watching The Other Guys with Will Ferrel, Mark Warburg, and Michael Keaton (he sure is looking old)
Today Les helped cook breakfast at church then at 4 we went to Mema's to eat collards and peas. Julie, Seth, Tim, Suzan and Nicole wee tere. Gina's family went to Charlote. Les got the Blueray hooked up and I really like it, I guess I will watch more Netflix now!
Jeremy called while we were at church so we got to talk to him and even Bud got to say Hello! Poor Julie cried, she is missing him.

Monday, December 26, 2011


Spent today learning new poto program and organizing pictures, here is a picture of the kids on Ames new ride ;)
It was nice at family Christmas, Julie got sick and left early then Syvia and Bob came to Kathie's so no drama there!

Saturday, December 24, 2011

Thusday Alexis and Jordon came over and made jewelry, Mya came too but she was sleepy and whiney. Friday Charli kept me company, had nice imes with all my girls!

Saturday, December 17, 2011

We tried to take Seth and Charli to Crackerbarrel where I met Angela Pless to git her her Family tree she bought but Seth had a melt down and went to sleep in Les' arms. Charli is spending night but Julie came and got him, we will try again... I have sold several Family trees! thonk Lottie bought 4 or maybe 5, Angela, Jenifer Harding and I am making one for after Chritmas to send to my friend in England, Sue. Also Dana Gravely ordered 2 from me I need to get done. I had to order more of the connectors and it will be first of the year when they come in. I love eBay! They are $1.99 with free shipping. I have not taken any pictures of the kids yet!

Friday, December 16, 2011

Thursday 12/15

Got the $22 Sandy Guest sent me for her sister's gifts and made $25 with Les taking the jewelry to work, Lynda Williams bought them. Putting my family tree on facebook has brought lots of interest too, have 3 to make right now. This jewelry money has been great blessing.

Wednesday 12/14


Thanks to Twila Julie and Seth got here safely!
Dr H changed my heart medicine so I am going to try it to see if I feel better.
Also have 2 people wanting earrings from Facebook plus I got another order for Family tree pendant

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

I know yesterday's post was strange but there is a reason, a Krylon can exploded in my MIL's kitchen and they want to say it is her fault. I told them they needed to make it right and posted this picture, if they do not do right I will post the pictures on Facebook. I don't feel I have a lot of choice because she has a red ceiling, china cabinet and deck. we will wait and see.
I am excited Seth and Julie will be home. I have a doctor's appointment at 11:30, I am going to tell him I don't have the energy to do anything! I want to sleep so much and just doing laundry makes me so out of breath I just can't stand it!
I did finish an afghan for Noel's baby. Suzan is not going there for Christmas she is waiting until baby is born. Nic and Jennifer are adopting Matthew so Noel will have to move out by law. I pray she will stay in Kentucky and get her GED. It is so great Nic is doing this! Jennifer can't have more children and he does love them so much. I made her a red/black and white cat afghan and little red and white hat. They have Cat in the Hat theme for nursery and he asked me to make one but I already was almost finished when he asked, LOL!
I really need to finish putting gifts together I just do not feel like it! I really wish I could have some 'life'
OH, I GOT THE LETTER I GOT A RAISE! MY DISABILTY IS GOING UP $34 A MONTH!

31 years tommorow


Les, Gina, the kids and I went to Red Lobster to celebrate our anniversary after church, I had a bad start to my day by dropping my Pepsi into my craft stuff as I was trying to leave for church, I still have a sticky mess in places, I guess I will get the Murphy Oil soap and clean the floor in the morning. Ames and I took a nap and played while Les, Charli and Gina went to see The Muppets, we had a pretty good time, he is hard to keep up with but so loving! Les goes back to work tomorrow, he still has really bad scabs on the scar down his spine, I pray he will be OK, he isn't wearing his brace as much as he should because it is rubbing those scabs and really getting it irritated. I need to call dentist in the morning because my filling fell out Thursday night and he was closed Friday. I guess I will let him do my crown.

Saturday, December 3, 2011


Terrible day at the craft show, after paying for space I cleared $22 and Kathie cleared $2! I sold 5 pairs of earrings and 1 heating pad, Kathie sold 1 sock monkey! I need to post sock monkeys for her I guess... We were supposed to stay until 4 but I was home at 3:00

Wednesday, November 30, 2011



My little Pilgrim from the school festival ;)
I have posted 823 times since I started in 2007, pretty impressive, I think since I forget to do often! Right now I am in a very tired phase, I tend to stay up late and sleep in late and take a nap with Ames. I have crocheted a few gifts but have not worked on the jewelry I need to to finish for show Saturday! I hope we have a great turn out! I got the earrings from Lori's shop and plan to use that rack because Kathie takes up so much room and I can't remember where my card table is. She added some wreathes and has sock monkeys and glass vases so I guess I will cut down and let her have the space. I feel bad she loses money doing the shows with me! I could use the extra money right now so I pray I will sell a lot of earrings!
Les goes back to work Monday, I am sad in many ways, I like having him home!

Tuesday, November 29, 2011



I went to dentist yesterday to get filling fixed until I can get crown made in March, my tooth broke last Wednesday when I was eating cookie with Ames and the filling came out.

Sunday, November 27, 2011

Saturday


Charli spent today with us and we went to breakfast at McDonald's and too her to the Alcoves which she liked then we decorated the tree and made some ornaments. I was happy the game was Carolina 34 to Clemson 13. I can't wait to see if Jeremy got to watch! I was so excited I found him a black sketch pad at Michael's! It was half price because I got him a watercolor pad, too. I must box it up for him, I am going to surprise him!
Mama kept Ames, I am sure she enjoyed it, I loved having Charli alone every once in awhile!

Friday, November 25, 2011

Slept until noon, that was nice on Black Friday, LOL! Les and I got the living room cleaned and got the tree in then ate at China garden went to Burkes where we got several clothes for the kids really cheap and I got a cute board to hand Charli's art, Gina will love it! We stopped by hobby Lobby, got a couple of things for tree.

Had to call the dentist because my filling fell apart as I was eating a cookie Tuesday so have to get it fixed Monday. Les went back to doctor because I thought he had missed a stitch but it was actually an ingrown hair.
We had our Soup and Cornbread in our new Social Hall at church-- our PAID for social hall! It is nice, too! I think that basically catches me up, oh, Kathie had her trial stimulator out, she was not happy so I do not think she will go through with the unit. She said it was one of the worse thing she ever went through. Les is doing great with his except his gout is flared in his right hand. The stitches are still bleeding a small amount but Cahrli said they looked much better than the Frankenstein look last week, LOL!

This is one of those days you don't want to repeat, LOL! Poor Charli threw up before Gina even left and we had to strip her and put her in tub. Les took care of her mostly while Ames slept but she sat in my lap once I got up, I sat on the floor and held her once when she threw up saltines and sprite. Les gave her a freezer pop and when Gina came and got her it all came up. Kerry came home from Hospital and Jordon cut ear and had to have stitches...
But Les got his 40 hour sick time check, they didn't pay him the 8hr vacation day but that is OK, too.

Today Charli told me she didn't want to be a Clemson Tiger any more she wanted to be a Carolina Girl. Her parents bought her a Clemson jacket when she has always said "Go Gamecops!" and even said that in a store Sports Authority, LOL! she said she wants to be like Meme! I told her she was my BFF no matter if she was a Carolina girl or not!
Dr Lal did not take Les' stitches out so he has another week before they come out. He can drive short distances though and I am glad of that. They are still draining a little, he woke up with gout in his hand though ;(
