Wonders Why?

Kinda in a blue mood today, Spent a few days at home,It was sad. My mom wasn't feeling well at all. I spent 3 nights there, watching and hearing her struggle with not sleeping all night. She gets about two hours of sleep and then its a long lonely night!

One night we talked from 2 am til about 4 am, not sure if she drifted off but if she did it was only for about a half hour. She wakes up totally tired!! I do think she also had the flu on top of all this trouble of not being able to sleep, I just pray that she could have a good nights sleep!

I spent a lot of time with my son and his family. We had a couple of nice suppers together and spent the evenings together. While Jolene was working I had a really nice visit with my son Kevin. Their kids are awesome! I did feel very sad that Nevada my 4 year old, flipped out big time when it was time for her Grandma to leave, she was a very unhappy little girl. It hurt to leave her like that.

I walked around the town , cause I didn't have a truck with me , I caught a ride from Dauphin into town and a ride back home. Don't know how many miles I put on ...foot putt!

Caught a ride back home with a friend, and her van full. It was fun. Weather wasn't the greatest but it could have been worse, so we all made it home safely.

Glad to be home, I fell asleep at 9:30 pm that night, Here I sit in bed it's only 8:30 pm and I"m hoping I can stay awake for at least another hour but I"m getting very comfortable under the covers so I think I"ll loose the battle and it will be another early night for me.

Talked to my step son Anthony tonight on the phone, It was nice hearing him laugh and having a good evening , I heard his mom teasing him in the backround, I was glad to have chatted with him, he's a great kid!

Well that's about all that's gone on in my world the past few days. So I'll sign off now and post more when I have something to post :)

Wow November already!

It's unreal that its Novemeber already! Soon winter will be upon us, which I could really do without! I'm not a winter kinda person. I love hot sunny weather!People are talking to me about Christmas already!! I'm so far from thinking about that its not even funny.

My son and his family will becoming up to have Christmas with hubby and I on December 20th weekend. They always love coming up for a visit. I do miss the Grand babies alot. I have no idea what I'll get them for Christmas yet. If they weren't coming up, I wouldn't bother putting up the tree this year, I do it just for them,the kids love it.

Yesterday I went with the church ladies to help serve cake and Ice cream to the elderly who were celebrating birthdays at the personal care home. We sang a few songs to them, having them sing along which a few loved doing. Then gave them cake and ice cream which they all enjoyed. I took a few minutes to talk to one lady who turned 100!! She was a very happy lady. Another couple I chatted with, it was the man's wife's 86 birthday, he gave her a big birthday kiss! They had been married for 68 years, He was telling me that he met her in august and they got married , he wanted to wait til her birthday in Feb of that year to marry her but she wouldn't wait til then. I asked well was that a problem for you sir? He said well no, but he thought it was to soon, since they had only met 3 weeks earlier! But she knew she wanted him so they married 3 weeks after meeting each other! WOW huh??

So all in all that was a exciting way to spend the afternoon.

Today I'm not sure what I all have to do, I know I have to take Myra to a meeting with the brain injury association we have this meeting the first wendsenday of each month.This meeting takes place in the evenings. Then tomorrow is my working day with her.

I could look around here and find more project's to do, I've almost finished the big closet one, I just now have to find homes for some of the stuff that used to be in it, before clothing went into it. hmmmmmm that should take some thought now.

Well time for me to sign off, get my day started. Besides going through the job adds I don't have much else to do, I"m looking for another part time job. Need something to tie up more of my alone time. It would also help to get Christmas gifts, and make sure I always have the right amount of cash in my bank account for my payments. So if I see something I like , I'm going to go for it!!!!

chow all :)

Positive Attitude...Not always easy!

Anyone else ever feel that way??? I like to start out my day feeling that there's usually always good in everything that happens, even when there isn't. Trying to take the best approach whatever the situation is. Trying to look at the good in people, not saying oh they don't look good today by what they are wearing, or wonder why they don't smile...do they hate life or something??Trying to help those in need, I"m not saying I do it everyday but to know that I have the passion in me to try. I'm far from perfect, I"ll be the first to admit that but it sure does help I believe to have a positive attitude to get you through your day!!

This morning I was talking to my great niece, Julia. She has some imaginary Friends and boy they have such comical lives. So I made up one called "Lucy" and "Lucy" lives in my pocket. Well this morning while talking to Julia on the phone I asked her Do you know where "Lucy" is?? I can't find her. Well Julia got all excited and started laughing and said , she walked home to your house! She's tired now and is sleeping under the blanket in your bedroom. I said really?? Wow I looked all over for her today , thanks Julia I"ll put "Lucy" back where she belongs in my pocket.
Julia said ok , happy to have helped me out, and went on to eating her pancakes and talking to her Grammy who was there for a visit.

Little things like that brings a smile to me, knowing that a 3 year old child is laughing and thinking that she has helped me find "Lucy". I sometimes wonder why we as people just let things attack us and bring us down, when actually by the example in this little story brings simpleness and happiness.

This morning I made a very nice breakfast, I didn't have to make it, I could of thought heck every one's on their own, I should only think of myself, who cares if others go hungry. Now I hardly think this would make the start of a good day now would it. So I made breakfast, even for one who didn't want any. Does that make me feel special for doing it, NOPE. But people need to eat, breakfast is the most important meal of the day they say, so breakfast it was. I just know that if someone made me breakfast , and I'm not even asking for it in bed , I'd be the happiest person in the world.......LOL

Today is a awesome looking day outside, Leah will be very happy to know that she's about to play in the leaves that I'll try to clean up outta the lawn, its going to be a chore, but I'll feel better knowing I did something productive and then I'll hit some well needed housework again.

We have a pot luck dinner to attend tonight, I'll whip up a dish later this afternoon and we will be set to go , enjoy great food, company and friends. What more could one ask for, it will be a exciting evening.

So even though my day won't go perfect, I'm going to hold my head up, smile , thank God for this day, and contunie on having a good one!!!!

Time for Leah and I to work outside.........chow everyone!

Tell someone today to have a great day, smile you'll be surprised back with one I"m sure!
