Well my life continues as wife, mother, grandmother, care taker of my mother, runner of the household, planner, bill payer, worrier, business owner and daycare provider, and I'm sure there is many more to numerous to mention.  I'm not sure when all this happened to me, but I'm overwhelmed on many a day.  They say God  doesn't give you more than you can handle, I sure hope that's right and he's taking care of me, while I take care of everything and everyone else.  I pray that someday I won't have all these responsibilities, but I know that will never happen, my mind will continue to organize all the people that can never think on their own.  Sorry for the venting.

Time flys....

I can not believe how long it's been again, since my last post my grandson turned 4, I've had 2 daycare children who have had birthdays, our neice got married and my mother continues to have episodes of falling. My good friend just lost her mother, it was something to put things in perspective for me. Life is getting shorter and shorter, I better get things done!! Not that I haven't been busy, I have, just some things I would like to finish and do some others. I now need to really start concentrating on doing them. One is I want to try to do better at this....we will see. Pictures on here will follow

What is she doing with her eyes? She matches the toy that was given to William!!

Birthdays

We celebrated the two baby boys birthdays at day care, hard to believe they are a year old already. I guess with all that has happened in my life this year they have turned one before I knew it or actually was ready for that mentally. I still love having my home full of little bodies, I never get my fill of babies, I don't know what it is. Now the one year olds are discovering so much every day, it's fun to watch and help them learn. The older ones are learning their independence and have found their vocal cords. Oh yeah!! Can we learn indoor voices, ha, ha. Thank God it's summer!

Hello to all,
Time has passed again...and where has it gone, well I can tell you....many, many Dr's appointments, several family birthdays, getting the yard ready for summer.....besides the normal everyday living that needs to take place on top of them. Hopefully by the time Mother's day rolls around, it will slow down a bit....but we all know that's probably more of a day dream of mine than reality.
Saturday Eric, Brad, Jess and Braxton came to put out the summer furniture for us and scrub the "playground toys". Jess, Braxton and I planted the flowers that go in the many pots and baskets. Grandpa was up at 5:30 am smoking pork butts for his wonderful pulled pork sandwiches for our dinner and needless to say everyone kept him running for things all day long. My mom made her fabulous potato salad, I made deserts and filled in with the rest. Eric went and picked up Bekki so she could join us for dinner....we all had a great time.
I wish all the Mothers a Happy Mother's day and everyone a joyful summer!!!!

Oh my, been almost a month, what have I been doing? Well visiting Mom, doing her laundry, returning it to her, taking her to appointments, fielding all the phone calls from the rehab center and the family, getting her room ready, dealing with Eric and his things on top of it, plus trying to find time to live our own life in there too. They say there is no rest for the wicked.... and I guess I have been very, very wicked.

The good news is Mom is due to be released next week, if all goes well. She seemed to like her new main floor room. Eric seems to be on the right track and we give him all the love and support that he will need in the coming months. Spring is around the corner, it's time for a new season, I'm ready!!!!
