Update

Gina and Trey went to Atlanta and got Jeremy's family and they got in at 3:00 this AM. They were all tired but it was cute when they put their stuff in the spare room (her Daddy's office) Charli said "NO!" and crossed her little arms, she is not allowed to play in there and thought they shouldn't be there either, LOL! She took right to Alexis and let Seth play in her car and tried to get him to play blocks with her.
She, Les and I had all taken a long nap so when they got home she was feeling good, Les has not gotten much sleep in days. The bad thing is after I ate I got so sick! I started with my stomach at Gina's and when we got home slept a few minutes and got up and Les was in bathroom and I got sick all in the hall! He cleaned it up for me, he has always been good about that kind of thing. I am starting to feel better now, didn't want to take my meds and throw them up but I think I can go take a cool bath and take them now.
Will post pictures later of the kids.

Papa's Gone

Les got the call a few minutes ago, his Dad is dead. Jeremy is coming in tonight and Gina is going to get him. I am just praying Les's sister will behave....

A waiting game

Here is Charli tonight at Kindermusic with the bells. While I was there I was playing phone tag with Jeremy, I still have not talked to him but Les said he is coming home, I don't expect he will see his Papa, the Dr does not think he will make it through the night, Les has be there all day and will probably stay if he can until the end. I am hoping "J" can bring Seth but I don't know if that is possible or not. Les's Mom put a DNR so an IV is the only thing he has now. The biopsy came up cancer and Les said it is bad. Now we are waiting...

It has been a lazy rainy day, I ran out of coffee so I drank hot chocolate this morning, I wasn't as good. Charli took a good long nap and then we played blocks.
My FIL has now had 2 close calls, it is looking like liver cancer, Les was off and stayed with his Mom part of the day. Preacher Bud stopped by, we both are too worn out to go to church tonight.

Charli plays the drums

Charli made me feel good today, she played the drums for me. I really need to get a recorder so I will have sound but I still enjoy recording and posting so I will have it. She also played her little piano toy and sang for me.
Les had to get off work and go to the hospital, his Mom was crying and said the Dr said his time is running out. I know we have been through this over and over and somehow George comes through but I don't know how he can hang on much longer, I will let you know.
Time to go get my potato soup Gina sent home with me, I Love potato soup!

I am finally getting back to normal! Didn't go to my women's meeting because it's cool and rainy and didn't want to get out in it, though. My FIL is back in the hospital with fluid around his liver and multiple other ailments, I will not be going to see him at least for a few days! Les made a pot of soup and it was pretty good!

I did scrap a little... These are made with Connie Prince's new kit Now and Forever, The top is Charli and my grand dog, Tye and the other is Les in Kindermusic with Charli Thursday. I did sell a pair of my Halloween earrings today which was nice.

This week's Scripture Challenge

We are starting a new theme this week based on COMPASSION, so to kick us off, our scripture verse for Week 29 comes from Lamentations 3:22 which says:
“Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.”

Here is Jeremy getting his Sargent promotion I sure wish I could have seen him!

I really mixed Charli up today because I didn't go to church! Gina says she was saying "Meme!"
so cute! Last Sunday Gina was rinsing her hair when she got water in Charli's eye, she screamed "Mommy, Daddy, Meme, Help me!"
I watched Casino Royalle and am now watching Hostage, I don't spend a lot of time watching movies but enjoyed the James Bond movie a lot.
I did get laundry done and some other neatening up so the day wasn't wasted, I did miss church though, I think this was the 2nd or 3rd Sunday Morning I have missed all year.

I slept a lot again today and coughed a good bit but starting to feel some better, still not quite well but still taking my antibiotics. The best thing is I didn't have to talk because Les was at work, BUT Jeremy called to tell me he made Sargent. I had seen the pictures on Facebook so knew. It was nice to hear from him. Seth has been going to Daycare a little, that is one of the benefits so Jeremy can spend time with Julie... the Army pays for it for a month.
I worked on this necklace for a long time, I am not real happy with it and may rework it a third time, the beads and colors are great it just doesn't hang right.

Thhis is what Easton's Mom, Tonya made for our Friday theme party today! Isn't it adorable? I do feel bad that it was my new assistant's last day and he had cried and woke them all up so they didn't get the last hour of nap, I am sure she was ready to get out of there! Gloria is going to be my 'new' new assistant and I know her, she did her training in my class last year. On days like this I think I need a new job! Because of the infection I have had this week I really am struggling to catch my breath!Here are some of the earrings I made this week. Have not done any the last couple of days and have not scrapped in several, just not feeling creative. Took a 3 hour nap when I got home, am so tired..... Gina just called and could barely talk to her.

Music, Music, Music!

When I was in elementary school The Swingin' Medallions bus would be parked at a house right beside my school. In 1966 when I was 6 they did a song Double Shot of my Baby's Love was the 57th best song of the years. They are from Greenwood yet I had never heard them, the concerts are usually $25 a ticket. Well finally I got to see them tonight after Charli's Kindermusic class!
I took the video on my camera which means no music but it is done to the song Shotgun which is sample 4 on the link above. John McElrath here is the only original member of the band and he is having a spin off with Josh Boatright, I have to say John does pretty well on stage and playing upside down!
Les went with me to take Charli, I am still only about 80% well but really wanting to see the group. I wish I had taken Charli, there were hundred's of people there and many kids right up front dancing!

Just wanted to post the necklace I made for a lady at work, she loved it.
Left work early but I still kept Charli, Trey worked late so I just got home, I think I am going to drink some hot tea, take my med and go to bed.

As it gets closer to Halloween it is a great time to remember my grandparents and how candy was one way they spoiled us as kids. These are 2 of my favorites my Granddaddy Bo would bring me, PayDays were thicker then, and I still eat the peanuts first and then the caramel.
I still feel bad and can't talk, slept almost all day and haven't done anything, I need to do some Halloween earrings but am getting very low on orange beads and larger black ones.
I plan on going to work tomorrow, Please pray I get my voice back!

Took today off since I can't talk and wanted to share this with you! Here's the link to the Blog I found it at.
A couple from church made us some chili for dinner, Les goes in at 5:30 so he can eat before he goes.

Well Gina finally joined Facebook, LOL! Her is a picture see put on there, Charli and her pink shoes! After a week without the computer I still want to get other things done and not be on here too much. I am fighting a chest cold and can barely talk, trying to get tomorrow off, have not slept more than a couple of hours at a time in a few days. Of coursr Les can't talk either, he gets laryngitis several times a year though.
Today I sold 4 pairs of earrings and 3 sets to Kristi at church. I had a great time yard saling yesterday and got Many pieces of glass for my totems I plan on doing, most were a dime.

Here is the link for this weeks Scripture Challenge at SBE if you want to get the word art and take part.

Here are the pictures of Charli at Kindermusic Thursday, I was so proud she played well with the others and even let Miss Nicky hold her! She is not one for letting strangers touch her. She had a good time playing with the dinosaur after class, he is interactive and 'eats' and 'sleeps' and 'talks', so cute!

********************

Well since I am 'back' I thought I would do a few challenges and the first is Kat's Challenge to Blog about a topic she picked, Jon and Kate plus 8. First I think that anyone going that public in their marriage needs to realize the marriage probably won't last with all the 'trash news' printing lies and every move being scrutinized, it is not fair to the kids, either, I can't imagine the teasing at school they would get! I have never watched the show, I don't like Drama so shows like this do not appeal to me. I am glad they dropped him, even the shows last night reported he was looking at a new house in Beverly Hills, go figure. I just pray the poor children can make it through with every one knowing about their intimate lives like that! I wonder does she even teach them about Faith and Prayer to make it through...

I'm Back! I finally got my internet back, I went to Kindermusic with Charli last night, got some cute pictures and I will share them later, I took this video of her on my camera. Next time I will lighten it up. Notice she disappears to get her paci, LOL! She is dancing to the music in TV. She did wonderful, the teacher was amazed that she could jump so well at 20 months but she has done that for about 2 months. Most children are closer to 2 years before they can jump that well!
I have sold several jewelry pieces including 3 necklaces (one is prepaid and I have not made yet) and 4 pairs of earrings. I have orders, too. I have a lot of catching up to do so will talk later.

I am not used to a laptop, I saved yesterday's post as a draft instead of publishing, LOL! At least I am going a little faster and not having to backspace as much! Charli and I are watching Olivia and she is doing a little 'seat dance'. I sold a necklace I designed today to match Miss Juanita's earrings from last week, I will post a picture when I get things back to normal, I am getting more jewelry done, at least! Sold a pair of earings at church and got an order for a necklace in red and black for Carolyn, too. Kristi wants to look Sunday and get some Christmas gifts.
Dakota is going up this week and I got Parker and will be getting Carver too, I had Carver's brother and love that family! Parker did great today and I tink his is ging to be a wonderful child.
I am loving how much Charli is talking, I keep telling Gina to video her doing her dancing and stuff, she is going to start Music class and guess who gets to take her?

Today is Gina's Birthday! I am sorry I can't post any new pictures I hope to get my computer back by Friday. I am at Gina's house now so she can go get a pedicure, Charli is taking a nap beside me.

I have made several jewelry pieces but keep thinking I need to look up something and remember I can't, LOL! I do miss the internet! Will check in tomorrow since I will be here.

I am on Gina's laptop since I did lose my internet, hope to get back soon! I had a class this morning and got my hair cut, am at Gina's and am going to keep Charli so they can go out for her birthday. Will check in later.
