Lil Bit and the mud puddle

Lili Bit is the short legged white puppy that I have. I believe that she has a tracking device that takes her straight from the back door to the mud puddle in the back yard. And tonight was no exception. She come in the house and ran straight to me. When she comes in the house she thinks that the first place she is suppose to run to is my arms. And tonight she was not taking no for an answer. Lil Bit decided that being I would not pick her up then she would jump on the love seat next to me, putting her muddy paws all over me. Yea, I had to shower again so I give her a bath in the kitchen sink and then I got back in the shower to get mud off of my arms. But would I give her up because of muddy paws....NO!!!!!! She is my lil' gitty monster and I love her!!!!!! She is such a wonderful puppy, mud and all!!!!!!!!

Missing loved ones especially this time of year

Aunt Athell-my cooking buddy..we cooked everything for goodie baskets for friends and others that done the smalll things during the year for us..the pharmists, the vets office, the visiting nurses
My little Granny-I miss our Thursday dinners at 5 pm and the time that we shared...this was done every Thursday no matter if one was sick or not...for 5 years...I miss our Thursday's Lil' Granny.

Aunt Ollie Mae-the family cake decorator..she was the one that thought me how to make a flower out of buttercream. Teh violets, daisies, roses, cala lillies...any flower you can think of she thought me to make it...
Granny Brenice S.-I miss hearing you call David "darling". He was your world. You then had Bryan and Dalen and there was nothing like those 3 guys in your life.
Uncle James-I miss the conversations that we had. Everyday like clock work you called me at 7pm and we would talk for hours...the best conversation....fiberglass shovels...I pray that I never forget that conversation.
My Papa Floyd--I was young when you passed but I do remember Sunday's after Church you would pick all the kids up and you would take us to the store and we got out own bag of candy (tootsie rolls, waxed turtles, and a bottled Coke) and then we went to the part. I remember running down the drive to ride back home with you when you got off of work. I love you and miss you.

I miss us leaving work and going to Daytona Beach Fla. just to go. I miss cooking with you..grilling hamburgers and hot dogs at Mama and Daddy's..I miss watching wrestling at my house on Pay-per-view and both of us knowing okay "if it happened that way someone would not be walking". I miss fishing with you for trout in the moutains. I miss tubbing down the moutain with you. I miss fussing with you...about nothing...I miss seeing you at the red light in town at Burger King...(this is where he would yell me at me everyday..."HEY BABY SISTER") I still smell the roses...Thank you for that... Yea I miss that....I miss you....
I miss all of these people that have molded my life in one form or another.

I wish that you were here with me but you are all in a better place and it is wonderful to know that I have so many peeople looking down from Heaven on me... I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laughter

Today, as I walked into the back door at Mama's she was sitting at the kitchen table, laughing. Why I not a clue. She ask my "why in the world was I walking around with open toes sandels and a short sleeve shirt and no jacket on"? I told her I didn't know that it was cool outside. She went to laughing and told me "I guess that you will not go outside without your jacket on, huh"? I agreed with her. Daddy has a fireplace with a insert and blower on it so I had no idea that it was that cold outside. We do not get the weather that we are having this time of year until usually around February. We are usually wearing shorts this time of year but it was 37 degrees this morning and I think that it might have gotten to the upper 50's this afternoon. It was nice to be outside and smell the fireplaces burning the fresh oak wood. Makes me think of the winter vacation in the Smokey Mountains. Have a good weekend.....

Thanksgiving Day

Today is Thanksgiving and I wanted to share a few things that I am thankful for......
My parents...
My hubby...
My sons...
My grandchildren (Haley, Noah and Skylar and I have another one on the way)
My online family (you keep me sane)
My friends (FUN TIMES ...FUN TIMES)
My dogs (Dixie, DroopyD.,Lulu, Gabby, Ella, and Lil Bit aka Lil Gitty) who makes me happy to be home and appreciate the small things in life....
I thank you all for all that you do for me and for your love, patience and guidance when the way the path seems dark and lonely....
I love you all....
Happy Thanksgiving Day....

What to do?

We made it home last night. It was a long ride for Mama and understandly she was in pain. So I called her primary care physican and he told what needed to be done. Thanks for all the prayers. I have a delima that I would don't know what to do about? I really don't want to delete my blogsite but at this point I think that might be my only option. There is this "person" that lives in the same area that I live and she has decided that she "needs" to come to my blog and find out what is going on in my family. And trust me folks, she is the type of person that you could move half way around the world and she would still find a way to make your life a "living hell." I am dealing with Mama and her illness and I do not and will not deal with "this persons antics". I found out today "by means of a phone call" that she has been coming to my blogsite. I don't post on the AD site anymore because of JB and now I have to deal with "this person" on here. You can't win for losing....so my question is ...do I just delete the blogsite or come on here and not post what is going? Any input would be appreciated.....

What to do?

hoping to go home today

I spoke with Mama's nurse this morning and she told us that Mama is scheduled to have a stress test done and then she is going to get to go home. YAY!!!!!!!!!! So, that is the plan right now. Please continue to keep her in your prayers so that this procedure will go great and that she will get be home for the Thanksgiving...Have a good day.....And thanks again everyone for the thougths and prayers...

update from surgery

"Mama done great" is what the doctor said. He is going to do a nuclear stress test in the morning to make sure that everything is okay. And he stated that we should be goinhg home tomorrow afternoon. Thanks everyone for the prayers..I appreciate my friends on here. You will never know what you mean to me....

in surgery...

They came and got her around 2 pm for surgery. We were told that it would take about 2 hours to complete...so I'm in the Heart Center..sitting and waiting...I have so many things on my mind at this time...to many write at this time but I will post when the surgery is over and update everyone. Thank you to everyone that is praying for my Mama. I really don't know what I would do with my extended family on the web. You all mean so much to me..

The doctor just came and told us that he would not be doing the surgery today. That it would be 9 or 10 pm before he would be able to get to her and that he would not have the support staff that he would need or that she would need during the night so he is putting her on the schedule for priority Monday morning. Now, what to do? Drive the 2 hours home and stay the day tomorrow at home getting a few things done or just staying here? I don't want to leave her or Daddy, so I guess that I will be staying....have a good weekend .....

Update on Mama (in Jacksonville Fla)

We are in Jacksonville Fla at this time. We arrived here last night with Mama. Mama was transported via ambulance. (by what I can understand all the conversation was ---was about me and cooking...LOL) But the EMT's said that she had a really good trip. We were told a few mintues ago that the doctors are going to put in a pace maker this afternoon. We were told last night that it might be Monday but they are doing it today. Hopefully we will be home tomorrow or Sunday. I will post after she is out of surgery if the computers are up in the waiting room. I hope that everyone has a good weekend.

a new update

Today I talked with the doctor again today and was told that the doctor had decided to transfer Mama from the hospital where she is at to the hospital in Jacksonville Fla. The Ortho doctor decided that he is not going to cast Mama's leg because it has been 3 weeks since the fracture (we had taken her to the same hospital when she fell and the leg was X-rayed but nothing was done.) The ortho said that after the pace maker is put in then he will check the leg again and go from there. Then when I got home this afternoon, there was a message that Mama is going to released from the hospital and that we are going to take her to see the doctor about her heart. Yea, I know it is confusing. Today has been the first day in a long time that we "had a conversation". She was alert and knew what was going on. She was going to go to the NH and listen to someone that was singing over there today and she told the girl that come to talk to her, "that she was not going to go to the NH to stay, just to listen to them sing." Then she told them that she wanted to go and get her hair done, right before lunch someone from the NH came and get her to go and get her hair cut. I talked with her a few minutes ago and she said that she had a good day but that she was really really tired. I want to thank everyone for the prayers and thoughts. I will try to post more later. Have a good day....

update on Mama

I got to talk to the doctor today and now we are waiting on the Orthopedic surgeron to come and see Mama. Mama has fractured her lower leg so her they are thinking that she might have to get a cast on the leg. And then they are going to set up an appointment with the Cardiologist to see if what the he wants to do. The doctor said unless something changes then she will be discharged home and then we will take her to see the Cardiologist. So that is the plan for the moment. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Have a good week...

Mama in hospital again

Mama is back in the hospital. She was not feeling well Thursday so finally Thursday afternoon I convinced her into going to the hospital. When we got there the ER doctor decided that she needed to be in the hospital. She was none too happy but agreed to go in. I talked to her Doctor on Friday and was told that she needed to go and see the Cardiologist in Jacksonville Fla. And that she may need a pace-maker but that would be a decision that her cardiologist would make. So, the doctor's office will make the appointment and we will go from there. I am sorry that I have not posted but I have been in and out going to the hospital and yesterday I had a migraine all day and night. I will keep everyone posted on how things are going....Have a great week.
