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!!!!!

"1st Grade"

I had a recent conversation with my sister about 1st grade....My # 1 grandaughter is starting 1st grade in a couple of weeks & she's so excited....I was thinking back to when I started 1st grade well over 50 yrs.ago & was wondering out loud if 50 yrs. from now will E remember her 1st day...I'm pretty sure she will, it's a big deal....I remember standing in front of our house smiling while dad took my picture, I had a lavender dress on, white socks, black shoes.(I think) or maybe I just remember cause I came across the picture recently but there's something else you don't know about me....I enjoyed 1st grade so much I decided to do it all over again at another school a year later...but I have no idea what I was wearing that day...& that my friends is all I have to say on the subject.....

"Laugh with Me"

I've had people tell me that I should write a book about all the crazy things that happen to me or all the funny things my grand kids say to me....I should at least write it down so I don't forget. So let's go back a couple of days ago....I spent the night over at Angie's .....the girls wanted me to "camp" out in their bedroom ....I'm glad it was inside & not out...A couple of people in my family know I DON'T like to sleep in a tent out side but thats a whole different story....anyway the girls had it all figured out how we were going to sleep...all on the floor...hard floor which isn't too kind on my hip or back but I can never say no to them... after all I'm the best "Oma" in the whole wide world...So we told stories, and a few minutes later they were sound asleep....and then I got up & slept in E's bed, around 2:30 A.M 1 twinkie made her way into the bed.....a while later the other twinkie showed up.....& then E made her way into the bed...so there we were all four of us together in that tiny bed....& Angie's right... these girls do not sleep late at all...they were up at 6:00 A.M with books for me to read.....& all I could think of was I needed COFFEE & lots of it if I was going to make it through the day....and thank goodness Chris came to the rescue when he came upstairs & said Oma a pot of coffee is brewing now .(.your a good son-in-law)....Let me leave you now with this ....I locked my self in the bath room so I could get dressed , doorknob turning....Oma let me in...no I say ...I'm getting dressed, I'll be out in a min...."..Oma, I promise I will not laugh.."

" 1 FLEA = 10,000 or MORE"

My world has been taken over by flea's. Where they came from or how they got into my house is beyond me,but the last month has been a nightmare. I have tried just about everything. Today I'm going to set off one of those bombs but in order to do that I must get up now & leave the house for a few hours. Today of all days when I had no where to go but it's 11:30 & I'm still sitting ....get up Jane & just leave already....ok, I'm going now...wish me luck that I finally get rid of them for good or I may have to call some one who knows what they are doing cause I sure don't....

"CHANGING"

Never say never cause sooner or later you will eat your words.....what I mean is ..it's never too late to change and that is exactly whats been happing to me..After 30 + yrs. my house has looked the same but somewhere along the line I just got tired of it..I've been watching to many home improvement shows & somewhere in my brain I wanted something fresh, bright & in the 21st century....no wonder every one is in shock, it's not me, every one who knows me knows I don't like change, I will kick & scream before that happens.....maybe some one came in the middle of the night & took me & left a pod that looks like me ....ok now thats just plain weird...my point is... my house is in one big fat mess right now and day by day I see what I had in mind what I wanted my house to look like and I love it....why oh why did I wait so long........
