Full Wednesday!

This morning started early, I had two listings to do and take pics of two other listings, got two offers and listed two homes, guess it was a day of twos:) You never know in this business what your day holds, showed property till 8ish then went to Mother’s to check on them. I was really struggling with seeing Walt, I decided it was because I figured he would reject me and no one likes rejection:) but to my surprise he was kind and thankful I came and brought them fried pork chops for their dinner tomorrow night.  I was relieved to find him in a nicer frame of mind:) they seemed to be doing ok, mother ask Walt if they had dinner and he said yes:( so I hope they had.  Just hard to know what to do, I did send the wills to my friend who is an attorney, Kay’s friend never called me back with any advice after I broke my neck to get the wills to him:( but thats ok cause I know my friend and trust her.  I am going to be married 38 years the 27th of April and I am sooooooo excited we are going to Panama City Beach Florida that day till Sunday!! Yea, I have needed the ocean!! Plus the time with Steve will be wonderful!   Tomorrow afternoon after my board meeting we are going to Hannah’s for the night:) Blake is potty trained now:) I am going to get him some big boy underwear:)  Have to take some pics of her home for you.  Jared and Jenn have their home looking beautiful, their paint colors are just stunning with their furniture, I love having them there, I am getting to see the girls so much more, Steve is teaching Peyton to go around with him when he is doing things, she gets hot and comes in:)) typical girl:)) he says he will get her trained……hummmm.  I am enjoying them!! Well of to bed, I am a sleepy head…….38 years of marriage blog is in the making:) hugs and nite

Sunny Shiney Day!

These past few days have been so nice, warm, sunny and just the right amount of wind! The Averiit's have moved in next door, the girls will spend their first night in their own beds tonight. They went to Jenn's mothers Friday and came home Sunday, then spend Sunday night here, since Jenn and Laila had the tummy bug I was worried that Peyton was feeling sick, she was in bed with Steve and I and would whimper in her sleep and sorta hiccup, I had Steve get a towel and bowl in case, once I was trying to go back to sleep and Peyton turned into me and was so sweet, I thought PLEASE do not throw up all over me, in which she did not and she has been fine:)) Thank the Lord! Its been hectic but a good hectic around here, the kids have been in and out with Jared and Jenn moving, different ones helped move and I cooked for them all, which I love to cook and love it more when people eat it! In which they did, I made a roast, potatoes, carrots one night, chicken and dumplings and green beans, then tac0 salad and cheese dip, tonight was the very best, fried pork chops, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas and made english peas, in which I do not eat, whole nother story:) rolls and a yummy strawberry short cake with pie crust:)) Jenn's nanny is here so I was glad she could come and eat with us, I will probably get to see them more with Jared and Jenn next door, but just realized I will not get to see Regina as much, that is Marks mother:((((
Open house was great yesterday, although I did not get a offer, I had a good turn out and possible buyers interested:) I need it sold:) I had and appraisal come in 12.500.00 low in PARKHILL....I am so sick of low appraisals....it is so hard to get people loans then now to have such a problem with appraisals, I challenged it and got him up, so my deal will stay together but it is such a hassle to do all that, I am just thankful I had an appraiser that would listen and look at my comps:) Tomorrow is sales meeting and its not going to rain...YEA!!! Will be a full day of fun, looking at new properties and getting offers accepted! I wrote a offer last night and t house got three offers on it:((((( we will be in counter. Got two offers on my Indian Hills listing, trying to make it work:) it is busy in real estate right now. I am thankful I can do it form my home so I can help Jenn and Jared this week, her Nanny is here to help now, I know Jenn loved having her here. So its work in the office for me:) Well I have not been back to mothers in a week, feel guilty but having a hard time going, I talk with her daily and Kay has been but I know I have to walk in there and face and love and accept Walt. I have some dinners to take over so maybe I can do that tomorrow, I thought of going tonight but was so ready to sit in my chair in my quiet home and watch TV and blog and play poker on face book:) so I did!!
Best run and get me some strawberries and play poker cause I may not stay up much longer:) hugs

Friday

I am sorry I have not posted for awhile, I have been so caught up in work, play, Grand babies and being a mother and wife I have not taken the time to post.

I am in a better frame of mind since my last post. I have checked on mother and made roast and potatoes and carrots for their dinner tonight and when I talked to Kay she had too and was taking it to them:)) funny! It still has me real bothered on what to do. My sister's attorney friend we went and talked to weeks ago had never got back with us, I think I will seek out new legal advice......C do you do this kind of legal stuff???? C is one of my friends who reads the blog:)) I kept Laila and Peyton last night and some of today, then they went to their Meme's house while Jenn and Jared move this weekend. I have Mika here, she is sleeping in the baby bed, she is still so little, six weeks old:)) I love all the snuggling:) We went to Anna's 10th birthday party tonight, the Diehl's and Averitts had it together this year which is a work of the Lord for all of us to do that, not that we did not get along but due to pain of divorce we just have not done that, so it was nice fro Anna to have her mother and daddy together wit all the families and of course Sarah, Sarah made the best cup cakes, I will have to post a pic of them, they were so pretty and special for Anna!! The man Sherry dates who is a special person, Roger was there too and it all went very well. I am thankful Anna has so many people who love her!! She is one special little girl! The we went with Alex and Jill and miss Amelia to Red Lobster, they took us out:)) then home and Steve is in bed and I am not far behind him! April had broke up with Seth, she feels that God has a work to do in Seth to make hi the man she is to marry and Steve and I agree, this has not been easy for her and Seth is acting a fool about it all, so keep them in your prayers. April for one is only 19 and still is trying to figure out what to do with her life:)) she is at her life long friend birthday party tonight with her girlfriend's, that will be fun for her and I hope they all keep their head on straight and not get into trouble:O Well best go ...nite and hugs

Little Correction:)

I am so thankful God loves me enough to correct me! I had a wonder Easter day with my children and Kay's family, we went to church as you know Sat. night so we stayed in Sunday morning, felt strange on Easter fro sure. Mark and Hannah was here and he was going to mow his yard and I said NO not on Easter Sunday morning:) He did not mind. Have some Easter pics to add later. Then about 1:30ish the kids all came buyt Sean and his family, he had to work and Sarah stayed with her family, I really missed them, I just know when one of my babies and their babies and wife is not here:( Anna had gone to Dallas with her mama and pawpa. We had a great day, had a big egg hunt! Victoria found the prize egg, I did not tell her either, mater of fact I did not hid them and those that did had no ideal which was the prize egg:) So proud of me! After that we went to Journey Church, Alex had a good msg. and we took the Lord's supper it was a special time. THEN Alica and I went to mothers and Walt's. Alicia distracted mother while I spoke with Walt about moving. This did not go well, he was very rude and crotchety old man........he will not move due to the neighbors which I totally do not understand him in this, other then he maybe never intended on moving and just was going along with it, which is not like him either unless he is more cunning then I give him credit for. I talked to him about a episode mother had a few days ago in her memory, and that she will only get worse and how safe the street is where Jared's house is, he told me he had said his peace and was finished talking so shhhhhush! I sat quite for a little while then I said what about what I have to say or my peace? He said mine did not matter, he owned his home and he had made a decision and for me not to say one more word.......so I got up and I did say, I do not think you are making the right decision for mother......then I went to the kitchen and prepared his dinner in which he had requested, it was all I could do to even take it to him and I had to pray to be able to do that, then he would not eat it and told me to take it back.....which I did. Upon leaving Alicia went in the den where is sits 24/7 to tell him bye and I knew in my heart I had to do that and tell him I love him....nothing in me wanted even to say anything to him, he was in my mind the way he had been most of their marriage.....BUT I did...of course he just gave me a go to hell look and we left. I cannot tell you how mad I was, or maybe fearful...not sure..I know my feelings were hurt, I had thought we had come a long way, but I can see real quick where it is at......I declared in my heart I would not help him at all, I would not pay another bill even if something got shut off, Walt and mother have excellent credit and money but mother does not know how to pay bills now and Walt doesn't, mother gives them to him and he just sits them beside his chair, he does not even deposit his checks, last time I took 8 checks to the bank from dec till march....so I thought to hell with it......the only thing I would do is make sure mother eats and takes her meds. which means someone has to go daily.......mother's blood pressure is like 180/150...stoke level if she doesn't take her blood pressure meds. BUT she cannot remember and neither can he.........SO ths was my frame of mind last night....then I ask the Lord to please help me, He reminded me He can move mountains that He is mighty to save! This morning when I woke up, my thought was it is easy to love the lovely but what good is that? It is hard to love the unlovely and that is what I am to do.......I do love Walt but I love my mother more and want her cared for, as she is she will not live much longer, she is 90pds or less....:( so today God has given my scriptures all day....I called to check on mother and she was trying to cook Walt's dinner....she did not even know what she was cooking.......sometimes I think maybe its good she is still trying.......maybe he is right.....I just do not know. I do know I have to be nice and trust the Lord to give me the wisdom I need in caring for them both.............pray as God brings this to mind....I need Him to move mountains:) and HE CAN!! Today I had a great day at work, showed property then got all my paper work done and turned in!! YEA!! Been a busy week and a full day tomorrow.......Keep April in your prayer too, she and Seth have broke up and her heart hurts, she knows it is the right thing to do, Goad had a work to do in them both......hugs and nite!!

A Great day in Sherwood

Today has been so pretty, we started it by going to Jack’s baseball game only to get there and find we were the only ones there due to the rain we had last night:) I then went to Wal-Mart and got some last minute things I needed for Easter.  My seller on Goshen had fallen last night and I took lunch over and enjoyed a visit with her, we did get her home sold today:) YEA!! Then came home and filled Easter eggs the prize egg is tiny weenie, itty bitsy, guess I will let someone else hide it, since I can not keep a secret;))) Hannah and Mark and the babies got here and we went to Mercy Cross for the Saturday Easter Worship service, it was such a special time, Kay’s children came and Colin and Alicia and her family, we all went to Casa Mexicana to eat for Kay’s birthday afterwards, what fun that was:) they had a band and Colin and Kay danced:) it was a song they knew and like years ago such a sweet pic of them:) Most of the gang was there, my boys all had plans tonight so it was the girls and their families with us:) Big group and lots of fun and good food!

Easter is such a special time of the year, we remember what our Lord and Savior did for me and you and the pain and agony he went through for me and you, I am so thankful He calls me friend, I would not know what to do with out Him in my life!  Thank you Lord Jesus for being our Friend and Savior….to God be the Glory!! Tomorrow night looking forward to hearing Alex preach at Journey Church! hugs and nite

Who is in control?

If you read yesterday’s blog you know I had my day all planned out.  I got up early and went to do my walk through, felt yucky and my low back was hurting, then started feeling worse, went to the closing, then to office, I knew I could not take another step, let them know I could not do CE and came home, turned my phone off, went to bed by 9:00am and woke about 2ish, very achy and sick, took temperature had 101 and very nauseated.  Went back to sleep till 9pm when Steve woke me and took some Tylenol and went back to sleep till this am. I think my body just shut down.  Today I feel weak but much better, back is still bothering me but better, just took a Jacuzzi bath and got dressed.  I guess it just goes to show you can just turn the phone off and crash and the world goes on as if you were right there:)  Steve will take mother and Walt today to Jared’s house so he can measure.  I do have a appointment this evening at 7ish that I hope I make:)

April 2001 is when my first grandson arrived, his name was William Wyatt Averitt, I have been sad today but know I will see him in Heaven::) God has been so faithful to my family in seeing us though the valley of the shadow of death…….there is son shine in the valley, you just have to look for it:)

Looking forward to my family coming over for Easter, it should be a pretty day and a great family time:) We will go to Mercy Cross Easter church Sat. at 5ish then family come over Sunday after noon for lunch and Easter egg hunt for the babies:) I love hiding eggs, it has been a long time tradition my brother started to put money in the eggs, so I have carried it out, prize egg is ten dollars!!  My secret is usually telling where the prize egg is to someone, maybe this year I can keep it a secret:) not sure though!  I may have to do two prize eggs so I can tell one and not tell the other:) Have great day!! HUGS
