wore out monday!

Today started at six am:(((( I had so much to get done I had to start early!! But I got it all done, it has been a day of running, working and being a daughter and being a mother, April got her job at Victoria's Secret, she starts Wednesday and she is working at the barn daily at 6:00 am so she will find all about a new world and being tired:) Steve's back deal has become disconnected so he may have to have surgery again to connect it!! That is such a drag! We will know tomorrow and we still do not know about his other test, but he will call tomorrow:) Tomorrow is sales meeting then I have a meeting and work then to spend the night with mother to help her get ready for her test. I went over tonight and made her some jello and took what she will need to drink and eat tomorrow. Today was a full and could of been stressful day but I had a great day with total peace and strength for the day!! Hugs and nite!

Halailuya Sunday

Albie the barn horse, we will put some weight on him:) he has raced for a year and only been stalled with a blanket so he looks ruff from being left here and not have the food he needs. The barn owner has called and called the owner, she can not afford to feed him what he needs and he has been being fed what the other horses eat, but its not enough:) so we are getting the people at the barn to chip in and help feed him:) may try to ride him:)

Ok so its not spelled right!! I know that:)) but I like it that way:) Today started off with Steve and April going to the barn and to meet me at church at Mercy Cross, we haven't been there in seven years, so I went and they did not show up! They worked and it took longer then they thought:) but Kay was there and Sherry Maxwell came too, it was really good, God has done many wondrous things in that church since I have been there. The msg. was good and Scott is a very anointed preacher, lots of wisdom for his young years. I had planned to go to my church tonight at Journey and got tied up at the barn, some came out to ride Apache today and it took longer then I had expected, after we left there we went to mi burrito and of course I could not eat much:((( but from the pics you will see I am still losing weight which is my gaol, I have to keep telling my self that! I had a great open house on a Little Rock condo, hope I might have a buyer, have to follow up with them!! I am tired and ready for bed but feel I may have ticks on me from the barn, its a mental thing, I found one tiny ittybitty seed tick on me and that is all she wrote!! Enjoy the pics! I Have a early appointment tomorrow and then appointments all day so that is a good thing!! hugs and nite!

BabyA'sandJill's first baby shower:)

Well this has been such a glorious day, just perfect weather! I wish it could be like this all the time:) but then I would miss the rain and snow and fall leaves and the colors of fall leaves:) I got up early AGAIN....:(( and decided to go sailing, Steve got up so he went with me, we found some bargains!! I got me to fall jackets from Chico's for 5 dollars!!! They are like new too:) Since I saw the movie Julie and Julia, I saw some pearls and I got them for $3.00!! SO now I have a strand of pearls:) all I have to do is cook with my apron on and I will be like them:) WE then went to Jenns and Jared's because I found three pair of shoes for Lalia, she loved them. Steve and April went to work at the barn, we barter our help for rent and horse feed now:) So April feeds and cleans and Steve will bush hog for them:) There is a beautiful but too skinny Thoroughbred that raced once at Oaklawn and did not do well, a man brought him to the barn to board and now he will not come back or pay for the feed he needs:(( and he needs more food then a reg. horse and high protein, so we gave $30.00 for his food this month and maybe can barter some for his food, if she sends a eviction notice to the owner and he does not respond then she has to sell it at a horse auction and the last one she had to do that with went for dog food, so we do not want that:) He is about 17 hands tall and needs to put on some weight, he is three years old, so he may be our adopted barn horse, not sure what do do but I can not let him be that skinny....you know me I like fluffy:) The lady who owns the barn is calling him again and leaving him msgs. he breed the mother and this was her baby, he thought he would race but he did not do well, he is not real high strung as most are and he is well mannered, so who knows:) I will take a pic and let you see him:) We love Apache, he is the best natured horse and fits April personality so well. Then I went to mother and Walt's and took dinner and some dinners for the week, although I will be there Monday to prepare her sludge to drink for her test on wed. then go there Tuesday to make sure she takes the pills and drinks the sludge:) then get up Wed. am and go to the Dr. for the colonoscopy, Walt said he is going too...glory be:) It will take me 30 minutes to get him in the car:) and mother will ask 100 times where are we going and how will she get home;) You have to keep a light heart when someone has Alzheimer's, its keeps you from crying:) Now to the best part of the day!! Baby A's and Jill's first shower, she got so many neat gifts and such creative gifts, Dr. Lewis and his wife gave her the neatest gift, I have never seen it done before, it is a cake server and knife, like you would have for your wedding, it was silver with baby A's initials on the server, and a poem about how special your birthdays will be on to your wedding day!! YES!! we all cried, we cried several times,:) Jill is just so thankful! There were four Pg ladies and all looked so cute:) I am just so thankful Jill is pg with them and not having to go to their showers andnot have her own baby!! Thank you Father! One lady made aprons to match with their names on them and bought a toddler cook book! That is so Jill!! I just loved it and of course I always enjoy seeing Belinda! ( Jill's mother) Well its been a blest day and I am ready to snooze:) Nite

Today started early, although it did not need too! I woke up at 6ish and could not go back to sleep, so I lay there and pray and think about things with the Lord, then get up:) I had some work to do today and closed a loan. Then do some errors and went to see my friend recovering form cancer and took her some soup and corn bread, her name is Edwanda Ware and she is doing quiet well, she looked so much better then she had!! The went to see Rachael Reisman, she had a healthy baby boy today:) Saw her mother my dear friend Becky Hale, was good to see them all and for sure hold a new born baby:)) never gets old for me!

Max working in the yard, he had on head phones:)

William Cole Averitt, at the Drs. office, he had to get five shots today:((( this was before the shots:)

Today went good with Steve's test, we will know the results tomorrow, I found some major bargains at St. Vincents gift shop while I was waiting on Steve:) Men are so different, when he got up this am, I said gosh you look swollen, he said to me "where?" now a woman would know, its her right index finger or her eye lids or her ankles......LOL! Then I met Sarah at the Drs. office with Cole, she had to be at class and they had not called her back yet, so I got to do what I said I would never do again and hold him while he got FIVE shots! This time I did no cry like before, just teared up.....he came home and ate peas for lunch and took his bottle and slept the whole time Sarah was gone, he is such a good baby. Then started cooking, I cooked, black eyed peas, squash, creamed potatoes and gravy and meat loaf with sliced fresh tomatoes and rolls! I also fixed a huge pot of vegetable soup with stew meat, I gave some to Jenn to take home and taking my mother some and a friend who has cancer and I have some:) I love soup! I have one more container full if someone wants it:) Then to my surprise, Jared and Jenn came by to bring me dome of my dishes, they were on their to eat at Benihanna's, I said the girls can stay here and eat and Jared said Peyton will probably want to go with them, she loves eating there, well he was WRONG:) they both wanted to stay with me, so we had a fun time:) In between all this I have worked today, Steve actually showed property for me too:) and I blogged twice today:) I have got all my sensory needs met and my nurturing need met today:))) If I could I would stay home and have grand babies over and cook and clean all the time:) of course I would wear out and wish I was at work......I am ever so thankful because I do love what I do, so it makes my work fun and I can sometimes be in control of my time:) Sometimes I can't because buyers and sellers are top priority if I want to make any money:) nite and hugs!

Hopping Wednesday!

 

Today started early with Sean setting off our alarm, of course I can not see without my glasses to get it turned off:( and then I do not even know how to do it right, but I did get it off after Steve and April jumped out of bed! :)  I really enjoyed them spending the night, Anna and I got to lay in bed and talk and she studied her science for her test this morning.  I taught her a new way to study since she is not likening it, you play like you are the teacher and sit up you stuffed animals and talk to them and ask them the questions on your paper, of course you answer them too:) she loved it and learned her work well, I bet she makes an A!  Sherri is having problems with her not wanting to study and Sean was saying he would come there and spank her if she did not start to study, this is a much better way with no spankings and fun!  So I hope they will let her do it at home:) Cole was a sweet heart this am, he just smiled and laughed!  I am sitting in the Drs. office while Steve gets his throat and stomach scoped, he is not having too many problems but has to have this due to the meds he takes and the meds he has had in the past when he had such a bad leg infection years ago.  SO I am here with him, then next Wednesday I bring my mom for a colon scope and then Steve does that next month. yuck! gotta run and get him home and then work:) hugs
