Open Letter To Oatmeal

• Dear Oatmeal,   You and I have never liked each other and I'm not sure we ever    will, it goes all the way back to my child hood and it would take hours & hours laying on a couch to figure it out but I have come to a cross road in my life where I must make a few changes...and my mother said you were good for me, mom's know best right?  I am willing to give you a second chance, we all deserve second chances even you...so tomorrow morning I will give you that chance to prove to me that your taste is not as bad as I remembered. I am counting on you to make me a more healthy me so here's to us...please don't make me regret this difficult decision...Sincerly Jane

Summer's Done 2014

Wow it's been awhile, but it's been a busy summer hanging out with the girls, marking things off their to do list....not to mention that I've been to Kentucky every month,(wonder why) & headed that way again next week. Hazelnut is 5 months already, twinkies will be in 1st grade & E. will be in 3rd. Where did time go?        The reason for this rambling on is that I had a conversation with my parents yesterday & one with my sister this morning about the things we do with our grand kids that we may never have done with our own kids..I don't ever remember laying in the drive way so they could outline my body in chalk, but I let E and we all took turns outlining each other, and it looked like a crime scene when we got through....That girl can talk me into most anything..  So as another summer comes to a close & school starts we are hoping that little Hazelnut can come join us in our adventure's at Oma's & Pop's house..I heard it's a fun place to be!!!

No Title

It's been six weeks since I've written anything. Let's just say it's been pretty busy around here or there or everywhere. We moved my mother-in-law in Feb. and she's doing well as expected for some one in her condition. She still knows me and for that I am thankful.  Moving on... And by now you know that our granddaughter made her way to us on the very last day of Feb. I've been up to Kentucky 2 times already and am dying to go right this minute again. I hate not being there for her like I was with the other 3 girls...but goofy me has already sent her a video reading her a story about 5 bouncing bunnies, after I sent it I realized that I looked scary but hey it was hard  trying to read & record at the same time. Oh and if you haven't heard her name it's Hazel Marin Richardson which I truly love!!!!!!!

"Name"

The day is almost here and I still can't believe my baby is having a baby..It won't be real till I see her & hold her in my arms and finally know her name that I have tried to get out of Amy & Jason for months....They insist that they don't know but I find that hard to believe that they don't have a few names floating around...or  maybe Amy is just like me and the poor kid won't have a name for 3 days like her..(long story) Any way I'm sure it will be the right name.. Stay tune, by Friday I'll know and it will be worth the wait...."Thank Heaven For Little Girls"

Girls Girls Girls

During the holiday's hubby & I took the girls out to look at Christmas lights. We took them to the same places we took their mommy & aunt Mimi and some new places we discovered along the way....We were all talking at the same time so I just got bits & pieces of this conversation....."Can we do this every year said twinkie A...." I think we can arrange it I said...Other twinkie said what about Mimi's baby, you know she doesn't have a name yet and  E. said well she can sit in my lap,  I said we may need a bigger car,then  twinkie A said with a sigh we can call her "Bob"...  it got quiet all of a sudden and then every one busted out laughing, that my friends was a Merry Christmas!

"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.....:)
