A clean house

Ever notice that when your house is clean and in order you feel GREAT! I had a meeting last night, for Longaberger, here at my house. B helped me clean up when she got home from school. I have to tell you I really thought she was going to be very mouthy about cleaning. She wasn't. She volunteered to help. The last room we cleaned up was the computer room. She was a great help! Boy I was very surprised with her. She told me today she has to work Thursday night. She is loving her job. She works at a Panera Bread not to close to home. She loves making the salads and sandwhiches. She makes a great Greek Salad.

Sarah has a myspace now. I am not sure how I feel about it. I have the password and can go on whenever. She knows if I find something on there that shouldn't be there she will not have it any longer. She has a few friends on it and wants to be online all the time now. I told her that all homework and chores must be done before she can go on. So far it has helped keep her on track and her room is clean. At least cleaner than it was.

Noah had Basketball practice last night. He really likes BBall. He likes it better than wrestling and I like that! He thinks he will stick with it next year and wants a net for our driveway. I guess we are getting one in the spring.

Ryan is praying to go back to school. I am calling the state tomorrow to see where everything is. He was supposed to have funding last year. I guess I have to be the squeaky wheel. Other than wanting to go to school, Ryan is doing very well. He really has a special bond with Sarah. whenever she leaves he has to tell me where she is going and when she will be back. He always says goodbye to her. He is a funny kid.

Mike is gone right now. He is in Poland. Yup, you can get back on your seat, I know where he is. I am making him write it on the calander so I know where he is. Next week he is traveling in the U.S. I am waiting for him to call me. If I know him it will be at 2 AM.

Well that is our life for the day. I hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for stopping by. Comment and let me know you are here. Look for pictures soon!

Letters from the Heart

How do I say goodbye to my mom. How can I do that and not hurt? Memories keep coming to me and I laugh or I cry mostly I cry. I cry because I didn’t write down that favorite recipe she always made when we came home. I cry because I should have had more patience with her. I cry because I won’t be able to sit and have tea with her. Ever. Never again. I cry for myself. I cry for my brothers. I cry for my children and their children. How do I make this hurt any less than it does? How do I make the tears stop flowing? Is there a way to make them stop? Maybe laughter. Maybe that is the way. Remember the good times. Remember hotdog soup. Remember frying pans knocking someone out. Remember the car rides to grandmas house. Remember the summer trips. Laughing helps but not for long. Family around me will be sure to help. Getting together and celebrating her. That will help. I now know that nothing will help. I think this hurt will last the rest of my life. I don’t want this. I want my mom....

Letters from Mom

I was starting a new project today and came across a plastic filing cabinet that was not unpacked.  I had seen it for a while now but didn't really think much of it.  I am not sure what got me to unpack it today.  The first thing I did was cut the wrapping off and on the top of it was a letter.  I didn't think much of it until I saw the handwriting.  It was my moms'.  It was a letter written to me dated May 20, 2002.  I don't remember the letter and have no clue what was going on in my life at that time.  I don't remember the conversation Mom was talking about in the letter. I can say that I am glad I held onto the letter.  To be honest I tend to hold on the all letters written to me. I have a bunch from Mike and Grandma too. I am sure I have more from others as well.  Its funny how you don't think to keep things for later years. I am glad I am sentimental.  So in this letter, Mom tells me she is proud of me.  Right before I le...

it all started with gummy worms.

February 2, 2019 another day that will be hard for me to forget. My mother, went home to be with her Lord and Savior. 4:00 in the afternoon. It has only been 5 months but it seems like yesterday. Why when sad, or crappy things happen do we tend to remember everything. Mom was in rehab for her leg. She fell down the basement steps on Ryan’s Birthday. Just the last two steps. She misjudged and thought she was on the last step but actually had 2 more to walk down. She broke her leg. Her tibia was split by her femur. We called 911 and had her taken to the hospital via ambulance. Mom remembered the women who arrived to take her to the hospital. She remembered the firemen that helped to carry her upstairs to the waiting in gurney. She remembered the emergency room. And the doctors she met there. She was transferred to the third floor to await surgery to fix the leg. She didn’t really remember that. She remembered the people who helped her but not being on the floor. She didn’t...
