Peyton, check out the crawlfish

What a wonderful day so far, I loved having Sean and Sarah and Cole spend the night, I waited o him to wake up this am so I could play with him before I went to work, he finally did, ok so I went into his room:))) I got him up and feed him breakfast, he is just tooooo cute, he make the sweetest faces, he is a chuck of love!! Saturday Hannah and her family came, Jenn came home with the girls so I got to see them all and loved every minute of it! Then Sunday we had the crawlfish boil and had about 80ish people over, some I knew some I met:) It was really fun, Sean works so hard and Hannah did too, so its real easy on me, I enjoyed the day sitting watching the babies play, Belinda got them a slip and slide sop that was fun to watch:) It was just a family fun filled day with friends. The food was so good, Sean's friend Ronnie is a award winning chief and he did the fish batter and it was totally awesome, can not wait till next year. We do it every year but this year to me was the best time, I guess I just needed it. Mother has done great with her care givers, she loves them both! She ask Kay to come over and meet her new friend Connie, Connie fixed tuna sandwiches for lunch and Kay was going over.....I am so relieved to know mother has done so well, I just love Faye and Connie but wanted mother to love them too, Kay and I both had such a hard time leaving her with care givers, but it is going to work out great. Now pray for her this week, I take her to Connie her sister and we move her this weekend to a home near me, Jared's house, it will be so wonderful having her here, BUT I still question my self if it is the best thing for her, I just hate it for her, but know that it needs to be done, it is just real hard:((( well tonight Kevin invited us over fro game night with Journey home groups, we have not been a apart of home group but I am so looking forward to this time, I guess I have just needed the fellowship:) plus I love games!!!! Enjoy the pics I have so many more on face book so if your on face book befriend me:)) hugs

I am sitting in the bed watching TV and getting sleepy, took a three hour nap and read and talked on the phone, mother was laughing so hard at Faye she almost could not talk, I am so pleased that she has done so well, I am going over there tomorrow, and then Connie comes Saturday at 3:00 till Monday at 3:00pm so I am asking for prayer again that mother bonds with Connie, then Sunday I go and we go to church and I or Kay spends the night the April will on Monday and me on Tuesday

then on Wed mother gets her hair done and we go to Vicksburg and meet Connie, then the big work begins with packing and moving mother:) be glad when that is all over and mother is back near us all:)) SO FOR tonight I am snuggled in my bed and resting with a Linda Averitt day:) hugs and night

A day off and it feels sooooooooo good!

I am having a break from reality:)) and a much needed break, have checked on mother she is fine and Faye is fine, mother hid her rings and they are looking for them, Faye panicked and called me but I told her that was totally a daily thing, mother takes them off at night and puts them up then the next day it is find the rings or her purse:) Faye was afraid we would think she took them, I said no we do this all the time:))) its a daily deal, they will find them just have to look in all mother's hiding places. In which we are learning:) Alicia finally find them when they had been lost for a year in a Elvis Valentine tin back in one of her drawers:))) so pray for Faye that she finds them, then we need to place them in her jewelry box at night:) I am with my friend Pam and getting ready to take a nap, Steve is taking my calls and she and I came out of town to rest, and it feels so good, she has a condo at red apple inn, in Greer's ferry:) BUT that is not where we are:) so go figure:))))) I will probably sleep all afternoon, I feel like I could:) I am so impressed and astonished at how strong of a woman my mother is, she really has rolled witht he punches. Her memory seems better to me, she is not malnourished now and has been on her meds. and vitiams for over a month and it has made a difference in her thinking:) We see her Dr. June 21st. so I will se if he sees some improvement in her memory, don't get me wrong she still has someone with her 24 hrs a day, and we still fix her meals and make sure she eats good, got to keep gaining weight, its just she can remember more and do more without being so confused:)) We booked our condo in Florida for our Aug. family vacation, mother will go with us as of now, less she chickens out:( Looking forward to that!! Well best go get a nap:) hugs

God is so good!

Today was much easier then I could of ever dreamed it would be, Faye got to mothers and mother remembered her from meeting her before, she was totally fine with Faye and told me to leave they would be fine, of course I was going over everything and left several notes, reminded me of when Jill left Amelia with me, she had a sm. book, so did I:) so now I know how she felt, I had forgot when I first left my children how it was, I just so want my mother having the best and I felt she did. I wanted to call all day long but refrained from it till tonight and mother was totally happy and just has enjoyed Faye, so thank the Lord...answered prayers again, Gos is so faithful! I was about sick for real with a headache and my neck was so tight, I did have my meeting and when I pulled my files and the main office file they were in complete order and I even had my emails, but to my surprise I did not write the contract, I was out of town and another agent who is not with us did. I could not image how I could of screwed up so bad and was relieved to find out I didn't:) so I can not resolve it all but feel it will work out, I have e&O insurance so I am covered in case I am sued. I totally feel bad baout it but again relieved I did not do it......I strive to have a good reputation of integrity and expertise in real Estate. After that meeting I felt nauseated and my head was throbbing, I went home took some ibuprofen and went to spend some time with my friend Pam, her husband is on a mission trip and have the best time, just chillin, now in bed and still feel a little weak form the headache but no headache or strained neck:) yea, I think I will sleep well and I hope late......Steve is taking my calls, I just had to have a beak from life for at least 24hours:) So its off to bed for me and a good nights sleep....hugs

Good day with mother today

Today is my time with mother, it has been a restful time, we have done nothing:) and it was good to just be home,mother stayed in her pj's all day, we had lunch here and supper I cooked pork chops, great northern beans and corn bread and some left over veggies. It was good, mother is now eating ice cream:) tonight mother has had some crying time, it hurts my heart to see her grieve and I grieve too, we just miss Walt, I am angry that he left but I know he could not help it, but had he taken his meds. and care of his self he may still be here! so it makes me mad. I am real nervous about leaving mother tomorrow with a care giver, her name is Faye and she is a wonderful sweet lady who sat with Pam's mother, I just feel so guilty leaving her with a stranger. I cannot wait for her to live near me it will make things so much easier. She is agreeing to the move, although she does not want to, but knows its best for her. It is all so hard to see her lose Walt then all the changes she is going through then me moving her, but I do not know what else to do. I have to survive to be there for her. SO PRAY for her tomorrow and me, Il eave here at 11am and I have a major meeting at work that will be very stressful on a real estate deal, I will share more later but I have learned if something could turn legal so not talk about it, esp. in writing:))) I did nothing wrong but I am sure some will not be happy campers:((( just a stress I wish I did not have. In times like this I wish I could say just meet with my broker:) but then times like these is what makes an agent a good agent.....I will keep that thought in my mind tomorrow. I just hope my mind is clear tomorrow since I will be leaving mother for the first time with a stranger. She has met Faye but does not really know her. Well watching a movie about brides on the Hallmark channel and watched touched by and angel:) I am ready for bed,hope mother is:))))) NOT!! hugs and nite

Quit striving????? HOW!

Today has been so busy, all day with sales meeting, Brokers meeting, then getting files ready for closings and I did get my offer accepted on the home I told you about..YAHOO! During all this I am worrying about Kay with mother, I had planned to run over there and do something for her dinner and never got to do that, Kay does real good but I know she does not feel well right now and did not want her to have to do dinner. April Averitt stays tonight, so in my mind I was always edgy on what to do when and how for mother, only to find out Kay did just find and had already fixed some left over veggies for mother and April got there a little later then we thought but Kay was just fine, April did not get off work till 4:00 at the mall. How in the world can I get my brain to quit always thinking of everything that needs to be done or will ever be done or will do in a few minutes????????? When I talked to Kay I realized she was fine and all was ok....sorta like when you leave your babies with a sitter and you told them you would be there at a certain time but your running late and it is right there in your mind the whole time your doing what ever it is that is making you late????? I pray and have quiet time with the Lord, and give it all to Him, there is a balance in it, He gives us the strength but He still uses our body to get it done, so I am sitting in my chair pondering how for me to quit striving and rest in the fact mother will be fine and if things are not ran perfect or the house is not perfect or her meals not perfect she will be fine.........just struggling with it all. Plus keep in mind mother still can care fo her self! I am sick:( BUT I am not near as tired, at the end of the day I could tell my mind was on over load so I just put one file back up, my last one and said I will do it in Am when I can think clearer, during all this keep in mind I get between 50-75 calls a day, remember when I said when you sell a home it puts about 30 people in your life to talk to, well times all the ones in closing and all the problems with closing I am bout crazy today and tied of talking to people working out things. Tomorrow is a new day and I will start over again, then I go to mothers for the night which I am looking forward to, as sick as this sounds I can get the house back in shape from the weekend and go to the store for the care givers to have what they need, then Faye comes on Thursday at 11am till Sat when Connie comes till Monday at 3:00pm, this will be a BIG break and they cook and clean and do what ever is needed:))) Even go to the store:) I may get away for a few days:) I have the fish fry Sunday with Sean at my house, crayfish boil, not sure how to spell it but that will be fun....it always is, if your in the area come by Sunday from 4ish till when ever its over for everyone:) its rowdy sometimes with some of the invites but fun:) I may be the rowdy one:)))) well hope this post even makes sense...as you can tell I am still stressing and need to rest in the fact I am the saved not the Savior....just trying to get there from here:)
