"Color My World Pink"

As I sit & write I find that it is hard to believe that I will be "Oma" again next year.. My life (our life) has been so much fun with little girls in it that we will be adding another little girl to join our "girls club" as I like to call it.. I laugh so hard when I'm with them, I forget what's going on in the world.. Life is wonderful & simple in their eye's, and just for a while my world of pink is full of laughter & a whole lot of love. Having 1 more little girl makes it even better....

"Baby Love"

When I posted last and said my life was about to change again now that all the girls were in school, I had no idea what was in store for me....I walked past all the little baby clothes & gave a sigh, like oh how I wish they were babies again.....little did I know that my oldest daughter was keeping a secret ....A BIG SECRET....She kept saying Mom you don't have to buy them (girls} anything and my reply was these may be the only grandchildren I ever have and E. asking me later if I was a sucker cause her Mom said I was.   Later  on my youngest daughter got on FB & wanted to Skype...I told her to wait till the next night because I was going to watch BREAKING BAD...Can you believe it , I had no idea what she was up to, she called her sister back to tell her what I was doing and big sister told her to call me & let me know what's going on....but she didn't....Next night we Skyped and as many of you know by now we will be welcoming a new member to our family....Will not know for a couple of weeks if I will be adding another sweet baby girl to the 3 sweet girls I already have or a little boy that will be thrown in to mix things up....either way , I'm in love.....:)

"Empty Nest"

My world is about to change again...My youngest twin granddaughter's will be starting kindergarten tomorrow, all day, every day, not to forget E. who will be in 2nd grade this year...Angie asked me how it felt to have grandkids old enough to be in school and I thought I should be asking her HOW she feels after all she will be the one that has the "empty nest" so to speak....After a few days of feeling lost (maybe longer) she will be ok, I know, I've been there...All I know for sure is that the years will fly by fast now ...and we will turn around  one day and they (girls) will have babes of their own..     Happy School Year To All...Love Oma

A Cave

While having lunch today a twinkie starting telling me about her adventure into a cave.....I listened carefully while she chatted away telling me that the lights went out & that it "freaked her out" her words......everybody was screaming and that "it was the worst day of her life"...her words again....I'm thinking , when did she take a trip to see a cave so I asked Angie.  Angie had no idea what she was talking about...I'm thinking again... this kid has a good imagination, the expressions on her face, she really believed she took a trip to a cave..All I know is that when I'm with them there is never a dull moment.  My life is so full of FUN when they are around....Stay tune ..

"It will get Better"

This year has started out as a bummer & we are only into the 1st 2 months.....things have to get better....right? I've already told you about my gallbladder so we won't go there again....let's just say I use my condition when hubby mentions outside work....and I say ..I'm not sure if I'm up to it yet, I wonder how long I can get away with it.  Now it's time for me to take care of hubby, he had surgery on his hand last Friday and o my goodness I'm about to go crazy.....this is a man that doesn't know how to take it easy & recover....every 5 mins he's hungery or he wants to know what I'm doing.. & we are only into the 3rd day of a possible 2 weeks of no work....#sayalittleprayerforme....

Lesson Learned

Well I have been forced to slow down for a while thanks to a gallbladder that decided to cause me a stay in the hospital..I am always the 1st one in the family to pave the way for others who may get sick after me.. I am so thankful that I didn't get sick during the holiday's visting my brother, that would have been the pits to end up in a hospital far from home & it would have spoiled everything...OK , on with the story.....We came back home on Dec.31, on Jan.1 I wasn't even thinkin about tradition, you know..black eye peas, greens, didn't even enter my mind.....there's a lesson to be learned, trust me....Jan.2 wake up in middle of night with bad pain, must have been that handful of pecans I ate at mom's .....thought I had the flu, stayed in bed, night time rolls around .bad pain again, moan & groan is what I did...not feeling any better....oh by the way I do have a tolerence for pain but after the 2nd night of rolling all over the floor I decided that something was wrong & it wasn't getting any better..We went to the ER & after 7hrs. I was in a room...you see, I had a bladder infection, dehydrated, pancreatitis & gall stones, now do you see why I should have eaten my peas & greens!!  Happy New Year!!!!!
