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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Don't Tell Mama!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
