My Momma LOU

My grandmother,momma Lou, is soon to be 83 years old. She had to have a heart cath done last week. She has slowly started declining. Well actually  faster now than she had been. A few weeks ago she mentioned to her daughters(4) and son (1) that she felt it was time to go into a nursing home or move in with one of them. So they have been talking about it amongst them self's. Well after her heart cath she went to stay a few days with one of my aunts.  My aunt had to go out of the country later in the week so my mom went and got her and brought her here to moms and dads house. Last night my grandma got up and went to the rest room and went back to her bed room and fell. she scooted on her behind to the door and hollered for my mom who jumped up. my mom couldn’t lift her so she had to get my dad to help. They got her back in bed  and settled and I am sure my mom fretted all night over what happened. Luckily no bones seem to be broken and she is ok. She said her back hurt her some today but she feels better and she would let them know if she started hurting any where else. it has been decided that she will not be able to go back home . My mom is taking her to her house to pick up a few things and she will be coming back to mom and dads until the family can decide what is to be done. WE as a family do not want to put her in a nursing home right now so we are looking into assisted living and nurse care to let her have a little privacy. I hate to see this decline but I know it is inevitable, and the process of life. My momma Lou is special to me most grandmas are special to there grandkids. I just don't know what I would do if something happened to her.  She is depressed and she has cried a lot the last few days. She knows that she is now in the latter part of her life and she is weary and tired and hates to be a burden to anyone. i don’t see her as a burden. i see her as a blessing. I am blessed to still have my grandma.

Jacob’s Turn

Jacob got up early yesterday morning to go fishing with my dad:) But the result in this was he was tired and sleepy by the time we had to leave for his ball game. Hence this picture below.

He is so precious.

He was out like a light

I began to wonder if I was going to be able to wake him up. He had his ball equipment in his lap.

But eventually we did wake him and he played a great game. They won 16 to 6

Her are a few pictures of him at his game.

Taking you life for granted

At some point in our life or another we all take our life for granted. Probably more than once in our life.  I got a phone call from my sister in law today that has just set me off like no other.

Her step sister she was raising. The one that wore a skirt that wouldn't have fit makaylas Barbie dolls to church, tried to kill her self last night. She is 18 and just graduated from school. Apparently she does not value her life that God gave her as much as I do. All of this over a boy. She and her boyfriend broke up and He has another girlfriend now and she decided to get his attention by taking some pills. when it was discovered what she did the lady she was with wanted to take her to the emergency room and call her mother, or my sister in law or her dad. No this girl said call “D” (her EX) I want (D). Well of course that wasn’t happening. Apparently she wasn’t “TRYING TO OFF HERSELF” but was reaching out for attention from her EX.  little did she know that when she arrived at the hospital they fixed her and sent her for a mandatory trip to the loony bin. She will be there for 3 weeks I am told.  NO “D” he is off limits now. It didn’t work out like she had planned.  This girl has a lot of issues. I do feel sorry for her. But on the other side. She has alienated all those that truly care for her by lying and back stabbing and  causing a lot of hurt to her family that has been there for her since she was a little older than my own daughter.

  On another note waynes aunt like another mother has terminal cancer. She is still young in her 50’s the doctors have given her a month if the treatments don't work and a year if they do. Its totally devastating to him and me both because I have also grown fond of this woman through wayne. She is one cool lady and I have always admired her.

   So while one family member does not value her life and would rather end another is struggling to survive. She would give anything to have the time that this 18 year old has that she doesn't value. This is just a mixed up world I tell ya.

   In conclusion to this sorted blog post for the day. I must say its really not worth the drama to fight with some one. To have petty he said she said SHIT.  Life goes on whether or not someone wants to share their time with you. It may hurt like hell but eventually we all must get over it.  Have a lovely day to anyone who reads this…..

MY NEW BOYFRIENDS!!!

I am seeing 5 gentlemen (give or take) every day!.
As soon as I wake up, Will Power helps me get out of bed.

Then I go to see John. (The toilet)

Then Charlie Horse comes along,
& when he's here,he takes up a lot of my time & attention.

When he leaves,  Arthur Itis shows up & stays the rest of the day.
He doesn't like to stay in one place very long so he takes me from joint to joint.

After such a busy day, I'm really tired & very glad to go to bed with Ben Gay.
What a life!
Oh, yes, I'm also flirting with Al Zymer;
or whatever his name is.  I forget!

and I'm thinking of calling JACK DANIELS, Jim Beam, Jose Quervo or JOHNNY WALKER to come over and keep me company.  
Now remember:  Life is like a roll of toilet paper.....the closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
So have fun, think 'good thoughts' only, learn to laugh at yourself, and 'count your blessings!!!!!!!

Is it really worth it.

I value my marriage do you value yours?

Facebook Harms American Marriages, Survey Suggests

We knew that Facebook has torn apart many a marriage across the pond. But according to a recent survey, it's become just as problematic for couples here in the US, too.
A survey of high-profile divorce lawyers throughout the country reveals that increasing numbers of quarrelsome couples are now using Facebook data as evidence of marital infidelity. As attorney Mary Cay Trace told MyFoxPhilly, "More and more I have clients coming in and I say, 'Why are you here today?' And they say, 'Facebook.'" Trace went on to point out that the social network now allows frustrated spouses to more easily "find somebody to replace what you think is missing in your marriage." By the same token, it's also a lot easier for lovers to find incriminating proof of their significant others' unfaithfulness. One woman, for example, recently discovered a trail of lovey dovey Facebook messages that her husband sent to his old high school sweetheart. Upon busting them, she abruptly ended their 13-year marriage, and the aforementioned sweetheart soon followed suit.

We've all known for a while now that spouses are using social networking transcripts as justification for ending marriages -- even in the courtroom. And, as we've said before, that doesn't come as a huge surprise. Virtually everything we do today leaves some sort of trail behind us, whether it's in the form of cell phone bills, e-mail exchanges, or Wall posts. Facebook just happens to be the most convenient means by which we can find lost loves, former flames, or, as the case may be, quasi-anonymous acquaintances.
You'd think, though, that at some point, the trend would begin to reverse, as more people become more aware of the indelibility of their actions. Instead of seeing social networking as an opportunity to check out other men or women, perhaps people will begin to see the ubiquitous phenomenon as a good reason not to cheat, in the same way that surveillance cameras at ATMs often discourage criminals from theft. A lot of people, of course, will always cave to carnal temptation, and may very well use social networking to satisfy that craving. But that doesn't necessarily negate the potential for Facebook and its brethren to strengthen as many marriages as it purportedly destroys. [From: MyFoxPhilly; via: FOXNews]

A memorable Memorial Day

We all had a great weekend. I enjoyed being with my husband and kids this weekend. It was a treat for Wayne to have 2 days off to spend with us. I treasured every moment we had. Sunday I went and visited with my 82 year old grand ma and I know that time is going by for her. She is old. She is feeble. She decided this week that it was time for her to give up living by herself and to move in with her kids. We aren't sure of how we will be handling this but think she will go from house to house stay with one child about 3 months then go to another house. She is going blind and can’t see well enough to take care of herself.

   Yesterday we took the younger two to see Shrek. it was a nice family outing. Then Wayne grilled shiska bobs I had prepared before we left for the movie. It was  just a pleasant week all around.
