Been a long time






Well I am sure most of you think we feel off the planet but we didn't. We are still alive and kickin'. I have to say Christmas was nice. Santa came and the kids got what they wanted. (well for the most part). Sarah got her laptop. Yup, she now has something attached to her hip and is on it whenever I say yes. Noah got his Rip Stix, he is now going to give me a heart attack if I watch him try to ride it. Becca got her Ipod in her favorite color, purple. And Ryan got a TON of gummy worms. The best part of Christmas is that we spent time together. Although Ryan was at his mom's we did talk to him and he was very happy. The rest of us played games, went to visit Great Grandma and Grandma. We saw Aunt Denise and Uncle Chris. It was a great day. Over the break, (which was WAYYYYYY TO LONG) the kids played the wii, played a few new games they got for christmas and spent time together. It was nice to just be a family. Wow can you believe how old the kids look? I am way to young to have these children!


Becca, who just turned 18, is now allowed on my blog. Meaning, I can post pictures of her. She will be graduating this year and moving on to college. I have to say I am very PROUD of her. She has given me attitude and a few problems but she has really blossomed here. She is a very pretty girl and she has a heart of gold. Sometimes she doesn't like to show you how much she really cares but we all know she does. For her birthday, the big 18, we went to the movies and to dinner. I had a gift card for the movies a some extra cash left over from christmas so Becca asked if Sarah, Becca and myslef could go to the movies and to dinner. We did. We saw the movie, A bedtime Story. We all really liked it. We then went to red Robin and they sang to her. Boy was her face RED. We then came home and had cake and did nails and facials. It was nice to hang out with the girls.
On a different note, Mike was laid off on December 10. Although it stunk that they told him before the holidays it was also a blessing. If they would have waited, Mike would not have gotten the package he did. As of Jan 1, 2009 the package would be here's your pink slip and last pay check. We are thankful that our situation was different. It is a very hard situation to be in. I can't tell you that I am not scared because I am. I know that God has a plan for us but it is hard when I don't know what it is. You know me and I want to know what is around that bend in the road. For know I think I need to get closer to God and wait on him. I know that he will provide for us. I hate waiting. Anyway, Mike has feelers out and has rewritten his resume. We have sent it out to a few companies and have even emailed it to some more. There is a job opening in philly which is closer than White Plains was. I am praying this will be the job he gets. There is a part time job in allentown which is not even 20 minutes away. This would be good as well but it is only part time. I have talked about going back to school but never did. Not enough time to do it with all of the kids. However, I told Mike that as soon as he lands a new job I am going. I feel like all I could do was go get a job in retail and not really help out. I am concentrating on my Longaberger and seeing if that can help out. So if you are getting emails from me please look and see if you would like anything. If you don't get emails and want to let me know I will be happy to email you some sale specials. Anyway, please keep us in your prayers. It is hard not knowing what tommorrow brings. My magic wand doesn't work at the moment or I would fix everyone's problems and take the pain and hurt away. All we can do is get down on our knees and PRAY.

Alot has happened in the last two months. First let me start with Sarah and her DEBUT singing. She is in a class where they learn from music and they put show on. She loves singing (I have no idea where she got that just kidding). I knew she could sing but I didn't really know she could really sing. I was sitting in the audience that first night of the show all proud but when she got up to sing the last song of the night I was BLOWN AWAY! She had me speechless. I hope she makes you speechless as well. This class is really a nice class. She has alot of friends in the class. I have been given glances into the woman Sarah is becoming and it takes my breath away. Wow is all I can say! It doesn't look like the video is going to work tonight so I will have to do it tom. after I get home from work. Wish it would save! I was going to put up one of Noah as well but I guess I will have to do it tom as well. He got to sing at Church with the Adult choir. He sang Away in a Manger verses 1 ...

How can my heart hurt anymore? What do I have to learn to stop the heart ache?

How can we say goodbye to someone that means the world to you? How do you let them go? The pain and hurt that we feel is so unreal. Grandma left this earth November 17, 2019. 9 months, and 15 days after Mom left.  Two women that helped to mold me into who I am today, left me.  They are no longer here to ask questions of, or laugh with, learn of the past from. They left. The pain of losing them will never leave me.  How could it?! They taught me to be the women I am today.  Grandma was someone who always excepted me. Always showed me how to love others. Listen to others.  Care for others.  Really, just to be there for others when I am needed.  The pain I feel is indescribable.  I have never had my heart broken like this before.  Never had to face anything so hard.  You see, I was so Blessed when it came to losing people I loved.  The first person I loved, that I remember losing, was my Grandfather, George. G randad was someone ...

Happy 4th of July!

Okay so today is the 4th of July and I was looking for a cool picture of a flag to put on my blog. I really didn't see on I liked. But I found this picture of the sky I took when we went to Maryland to visit Aunt Betty a few years ago. I think the sky may have looked like this on that morning Francis Scott Key wrote the National Anthem. Today is a great day for this country. I am very proud of the service men and women that have served our country. Willingly giving up a part of their lives for us. Sometimes giving up their lives for freedom. So Thank you one and all. Sometimes saying thank you just doesn't seem enough. Sometimes it is more than enough. So if you see someone in uniform just say thanks. You might just be surprised by the reaction of the service man/woman. I remember riding by the Armory a few years ago and their was a group of protesters on front of the armory. They were screaming at the men in uniform. I was angry and I could tell Mike was as well. He wanted to ...
