I Hope You Got Gas Yesterday.........

I had no clue that anything was going on in my wee little town until my Mother calls me and tells me that I probably need to go fill up my gas tank. Yes, I knew that there was a hurricane on its way to Houston and yes I knew it would be bad but never had it crossed my mind that I might need to go and fill my gas tank. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...is all I have to say!

Not even when Katrina was coming did I fill my tank with gas nor did the wee little town that I lived in. I have never in my life time saw anything like I saw yesterday!

After my Mother told me to go to the gas station,(there is only 1 in my wee little town), I got my son in the car and off we went. I thought to myself....Self, there is no way there will be a line so this should be way easy!

Boy......

Was......

I........

Wrong....!!!!!!!!!

I have never saw so many cars at a gas station in my life! I would say about 80 people were in line. So I just drove on by and headed to my Grandmothers house where my parents were. I griped a little....well alot about how ridiculous this was and that I should have just stayed home and saved my gas. BUT I NEEDED GAS!!!!

So I left my son with my parents and headed back towards the 1 station that was around. Well.........I drove right by it and headed for the next little town with 2 stations.

Yes....there was a line there too but not as bad as what I had already saw! Only the price was 40 cents higher. Atleast that's what the sign said. Thank goodness I only paid 2 cents more than my wee little town had it for. So yes I filled my tank and I hope I won't have to do it again for a long while!

So on my way back home I was behind what I still believe was the devil trying my patience because he was driving 35 and the speed limit was 55! HELLO! Then I look in my rear view mirror and a guy on a motorcycle was riding my bumper. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...Again!

As I was finally able to get back to my town following the slow poke, who by the way was talking on his cell phone, decided he needed gas and just slammed on his brakes and turned into the gas station where there were probably 100 cars now. He did not use a blinker and I was lucky I didn't hit him. And I am lucky the guy on the motorcycle didn't hit me because when I looked up I swear he was sitting on the trunk of my car!

Anyways, I am just glad that the good Lord was watching over me and let me get home safely! I know I shouldn't gripe but I am sure there are others who might have had more fun than me yesterday!

So Happy Weekend To You All!!!!

Do You Remember???????

I remember sitting in the parking lot at the Pharmacy that I work at listening to the radio. I recall hearing one man say that a plane had hit one of the World Trade Center buildings and that it had more than likely been an accident. I went in the store and started my day and at that time we did not have a television in the store. That day I wished we had one. Although to watch replays of that day I am glad I did not.

As the day went on, my bosses wife called and told us that the other tower had been hit and that the Pentagon had also been hit. I was afraid to answer the phone after that because I just knew something worse was on the horizon.

She called and updated us when the towers fell and also to tell us of the plane that crashed in a field full of what I believe were heroes! They saved alot more lives by trying to take the plane back.

What I remember most about this time in my life was how our whole country as a whole came together and were united for the first time in what seemed like a while. My sister and I tied red, white, and blue ribbons to our car antenna to show our support for the families that had lost their loved ones. I will never forget how many American flags that I saw flying from cars and other places. Where is that unity now?

I have been there. Or atleast by there. It gives such a feeling of grief when you see it. I was in a van taxi on my way to a cruise ship. I was fortunate to get to take a small fast tour of New York on my way there. So I was blessed just to have been by there. Here is the photo I got as we passed by there.



So today in honor of those who lost their lives this day, 7 years ago, I just want to say....I will never forget!

Here's another photo that I took on that trip! It's a wonderful symbol of our country!



May God continue to bless America and all of those who lost loved ones on 9/11.

8 Months and Counting......

To My Precious Andrew,

I don't even know where to start. It has only been a few days since you turned 8 months old and that is so hard for me to fathom. Seems just like yesterday you were so tiny and all you did was sleep all day. Now you are this big, STRONG, little person who is crawling but wishes he could walk and is now into everything you can get your hands on. (Especially Gran's tea pots!) :-) I just can't believe how much you have grown in such a short time.

I didn't know that I could love anyone as much as I love you and your Daddy. When I am at work and I am counting down the hours till I get to pick you up because I know there is a great big smile waiting for me and sometimes wet slobber kisses. Which I love! No matter what you will always be my chunky monkey!

I am still amazed at all the things that you can do now! (Especially how many times you can bump your precious little head on just about anything!)

Some of my favorite times that I get to share with you is when I get to feed you (Which has turned out to be a messy job now!) because you are so funny to watch!

Another thing I love so much is when your Daddy gives you a bath. I get to listen to the conversation he has with you about all different kinds of things, while you splash water all over him! I can't wait till you can answer him or carry on that conversation with your Daddy. Your Daddy loves you sooooo much, too! I just love to see the two of you in the floor playing together! It makes my heart melt!

I can't tell you how much you are loved! Not just by Mommy and Daddy but by your entire family! I wish every child could feel the love that you feel on a daily basis!

It is my prayer that you never take for granted all that you have in this life! And it is my prayer that your Daddy and I will be the role models that you need in this day and time!

We have been and continue to be blessed to have you in our lives and we will continue to thank our Lord and Savior everyday for giving you to us!

We Love You!

Mommy & Daddy

Be Still Sunday...................

WATCH THIS!!!.............

This was sent to my hubby in an email and I just thought that I would share it! It is one of my favorite songs! Plus........well just watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG...............(oh my gosh..) :-)

OMG......can you believe my precious baby is almost 8 months old! YES he is! I just can't get over how fast he is growing. By the way, he is crawling! Yes CRAWLING! My life will never be the same now! He loves to play with magazines or might I say rip the pages out of a magazine!


Plus he just loves to roll around in floor with just about anybody!


**Andrew with his Grandaddy** I just love this picture!
It just melts my heart!

He just loves his Great-Grandmother too!

She is 92 years old and pretty feeble and I think Andrew knows this because he just sits in her lap and rubs her face! He is too sweet!

Have a wonderful day!

Be Still Sunday...................

Soooooooooooo.............

Do you have a Nintendo Wii???? If you don't you must get one or play someone else's! I have had mine for about 8 months now. My hubby bought me one for my birthday last year. Just a few weeks ago we bought Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games..(only because I was obsessed with watching the Olympics!) I just have to say that it is the funnest game I have ever played in the whole wide world! You can do swimming relays, (like Michael Phelps, you know, the 8 time gold medal winner?), you can run, you can do gymnastics, you can do everything! YOU GET A WORKOUT! Which is the whole point of the Wii, I think!



Well...............this past weekend Nick bought me Wii fit! And yes I did want it! It is fun also! It is pretty much another game to get you into shape! You get to do yoga, strength training, hula hooping, skiing and all other kinds of things! It also helps your posture and balance which I need major help with! Especially the balancing!




I know that I could win 10,000 dollars on America's Funniest Videos if there was a video of Nick and I playing these games!

Happy Wednesday to you all!!!

A Few New Pictures To Share........

Well....................my baby has been sick for the
last week or so and that is why I haven't posted.
I thought I would share some new photos of
my chunky little monkey!



Eating a Banana Puff for the first time......




Eating a Cheerio for the first time...He was sick
so we had to give him a little treat!



Trying Granny's Chicken Dressin' for the first time.....



Thinking he is big stuff standing in
the pack and play!

Pray Please!!!!!!!!

**Update: Lori passed away just a few short moments after I posted this. So please remeber her family when you pray now that the Lord has seen fit to take her on to glory!


A couple posts ago, I asked you to pray for my cousin Lori who was diagnosed with pancreatic and lung cancer. She was given 3 to 4 months to live but tonight we received a phone call from her mother saying they did not think that she would live through the night.

So I am asking you to call her name out when you pray tonight and that if the Lord is going to call her home tonight that her passing be painless.

Kayla Rose is here...............

It is my pleasure to introduce you to Kayla Rose Feeney. She is the newest addition to Michelle's family the Pharmacist that I work with and who is one of my dear friends!



She weighed 9 pounds, 7 ounces and was 20 and 1/2 inches long! Mommy and baby are doing great!

I think she might be in the running to be the future wife of my son!

Lesson Learned.........................

Have you ever heard the old saying, "If your baby doesn't fall of the bed before he is one he will stutter?"

Well.....................Andrew will not stutter now!

Last Tuesday, one of my regular days off, Andrew and I had started our day off right! He slept until 9 o'clock. I began our regular routine off the morning. I tucked pillows all around him before I got off the bed so he wouldn't roll off and proceeded to do my business.

Well, next thing I hear is a huge crash and then my heart sunk! Andrew started crying. I just knew that he had fallen off the bed. He usually likes to roll towards Nick's side of the bed but this time he chose to fall off of mine.



As soon as I saw him laying on the floor, I started crying! He was bleeding! Panic set in for me because I just knew he had broken something! He had a scratch on his cheek, nose and upper lip.

When he fell he also hit the air vent that's in the floor next to our bed. So needless to say he had 3 straight lines for bruises on his forehead.




Now as you can imagine I didn't know what to do. He couldn't tell me if he was alright. I thought I might need to take him to the doctor but all I could think about was them calling DHR because they would think it was child abuse! He looked pretty bad. So I called my mom and asked her what to do. She thought he would be ok and told me to watch him and if anything changed to take him to the doctor. I am pretty sure by this time I was the only one crying anymore!

Turns out, my baby is fine! Thank the Lord that He makes babies flexible enough from birth to withstand certain things. Especially accidents that shouldn't occur to begin with!



FYI: He now gets put in his crib with 4 walls that will keep him in the bed and off the floor! That is for now til he starts climbing. Then what am I gonna do??

LESSON LEARNED!

Prayer Request....

I would like for you to please pray for my cousin Lori! She has been diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas and liver. She is in the hospital in Lexington Kentucky. She saw her doctor yesterday and they have given her 3 to 6 months to live and that is if she tries chemo or not. So her outlook on life is very grim. She is only in her thirties and has 3 children. I know she is very scared!

When Lori called my mother and told her, she made sure that my mom new she had accepted Christ as her Savior and that she was in a better place in her life now! So it is my prayer that if the Lord sees fit to take her on home that she has no pain. She hasn't decided whether or not to try the chemo, since they tell her it probably won't work.

So when you pray today please call out her name!

My Granddaddy and Me......

I love this picture. Just wanted to share it!
