Dreams or Messages?

I had a Dream Friday night about my Grandmother. I woke up Saturday feeling happy and spent the day remembering her and some of the things she would say to me. She was always very loving and comforting when I needed it the most. I think about her often so I didn't really think this dream was any different then any other time. In my dreams she would tell me that she is proud of me and the life that I have made for myself and my choices . With all the stuff going on I just did not realize the date until Last night when I was typing out an invoice and noticed the date.
Saturday was the 6th anniversary of Grandma's Passing. So I wonder. was it just a dream? or was it a message from her. I hope she is watching over my family and that she is proud of me. I wish she was here. I could always talk to her about anything. I was never guarded with her, I trusted her and knew she loved me without judgement. There are things that I only told her and those things went to Heaven with her. 6 years have gone by but I still find myself wanting to pick up the phone and call her. I miss her and I feel very lucky to have had her in my life, I just wish my children could have known her and how great she was.

What's the Big Deal about Twilight???

I have to admit, I don't get it. Maybe you have to read the book first? I don't know. I am reading another series right now so maybe I will try to read it after.

I rented Twilight on DVD on Saturday and I'm sorry but I thought it was boring and Lacked Story!! I have friends and cousins that would not agree at all but I just don't get it!!!

I was very excited to see that there were several of them left and there was such hype about it that I couldn't wait to watch it. about 15 min in, David and I were already annoyed by the color. We thought it lacked the romance and fear that I really kinda expected after all the talk about it.

I'm still a little disappointed and kinda want that time back. LOL

Sorry to all of you that are at home watching Twilight for the 20Th time but I just don't get it.......

Spring Break Yippee!

My Big Man.

First Breakfast Out with Grace in Cast ( Thanks Bill Jr. )

I'm so Glad it is Spring Break. I miss the kids when they're at school all day.

Avery did a awesome job at the school program on Wednesday, We were so proud of him. He had a Solo singing part. GO AVERY, GO AVERY!

I don't have a lot of exciting things to talk about lately with Grace still in her cast but we have been getting out more often now that I can get her in the back of double stroller and Brady in the front. for weeks after the accident she was in some pain so we didn't even try but now she can flip herself from back to front and drag herself around on the floor.

This Wednesday we will go for Gracie's 6 week appointment with the Orthopedic Doc for yet another x-ray, As hard as it has been I really can't believe it has been 6 weeks. We are hoping that she will only have 2 weeks left and will finally have the cast removed. That will be a Great day.

We have been very blessed to have great friends and Family that have called and sent gifts and cards for Grace, my aunt, uncle and cousins have been so unbelievably kind to us and that means so much to David and I. I don't have a lot of family that give my kids a second thought other then my sister Susi and brother Bill. My aunt, Uncle and Cousins have shown my family so much kindness these past two months, I feel very Lucky to have them care so much about Grace and send her so many gifts. I will always remember how kind they have been to us.

Just Favorites Today, BRAIN IS MUSH !!!

Thank You Susi for those first two ( Love Um )

( Great Poem for right Now in my life )

Life Is Fine

I went down to the river, I set down on the bank.

I tried to think but couldn't, So I jumped in and sank.

I came up once and hollered! I came up twice and cried!

If that water hadn't a-been so cold I might've sunk and died.

But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!

I took the elevator Sixteen floors above the ground.I thought about my baby And thought I would jump down. I stood there and I hollered! I stood there and I cried! If it hadn't a-been so high I might've jumped and died.

But it was High up there! It was high! So since I'm still here livin', I guess I will live on. I could've died for love--But for livin' I was born Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry--I'll be dogged, sweet baby, If you gonna see me die. Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

I love quotes about kids and family ( It helps me remember the big picture and not the everyday grind ).

The real question isn't whether or not you love your kids, but how well you are able to demonstrate your love and caring so that your children really feel loved.
- Stephanie Marston

A mother] discovers with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.

That's all I got today Kids.........

PEACE

First I want to say Thank You to all of the wonderful people sending packages to Grace. You are so unbelievable Thoughtful and Kind. It really is helping to make this more bearable so from the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU!!


Spending 11 hours in children's hospital has left us with 3 or 4 different viruses at our house. So if a three year old in a body cast wasn't enough. HUM lets see, I've seen puke, diarrhea, snot, mucus, strep throat, coughing, sneezing, belly aches, high fevers, low fevers and Teething. At one point I even thought I was going to lose my mind!

I know that in a couple of months it will be life again as we know it. sometimes it is all to easy to sit in wallow in it but David and I know how lucky we are that Grace wasn't hurt worse or that it didn't fall on the baby.
God really is good and I thank him everyday for my family and now for the strength that is getting us through. Only time will tell how or if Grace will have long term issues from this. I wont think about that right now, I will just be grateful she is here with us and that she is OK.
