HAPPY

I wanted to wish all of my blog friends a safe and Happy New Year.

The grandbabies

My son, his wife, and the grandbabies come in Christmas Eve day. The grand children opened their gifts with alot of excitement. The youngest of the two is 18 months old and he loved his tricycle. I think that he really enjoyed all of his toys. Our oldest grand daughter...enjoyed her gifts too. She played with N. on the his tricycle. Those two were just too funny. I miss the days when my boys were small but I do love and enjoy my grandchildren. I am so thankful that they did get to come in for the holidays. We are in hopes that the youngest grandchild will be in this weekend so that we are celebrate a belated Christmas with her....

The puppies and the Christmas tree

It took me 3 days to put and decorate. Lil Bit thinks that she is a Christmas present and that she is suppose to stay under the tree all the time. I will go to missing her and she will be under the tree looking at me with her sad little eyes. Gabby loves it too. Gabby thinks the branches are something that she suppose to play with...hehehehe And I have ask myself...why did I put this tree up? For the babies. If I can keep it up for them to see, then I will have accomplished something.. I can take it got a few more days I guess. Maybe next year they will not mess with the tree when I put it up. Or should I say, I hope!!!!!

I have decided that I am going to get in the spirit of Christmas. If no one comes, then that is something that they will come to regret later. In case that I'm not back online before the holidays, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

now what

The tree is up, the gifts are bought and wrapped and the stocking are up and we are putting stocking stuffers in them everyday. Now What? My mind is blank...nothing in there but worry and aggravation. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired....As I sit and look at the stocking on the fireplace as the glitter sparkles against the lights on the mantle I'm reminded of Christmases past. Some good , some not so good. And I try not to think about them but memories have a way of creaping into your mind and these memories will not go away today. I do not like days like today. I would rather just sleep though them. Unfortately, I was up at 5 am this morning with so much on my mind....what to do now?

?

I still have not put up the Christmas tree. I have not wrapped any gifts. I don't know what is going to happen for Christmas. Who is coming in or not? But I have decorated the mantel and hung the stocking. I have checked the lights to make sure that they are all working. I bought new ornaments (plastic) because of the puppies. So all I have to do is get the tree up. I have a friend that is coming to stay with us for a few days before the holidays so I hope that having two small ones around might get me in the mood. I am cooking for a few friends that are having get-togethers with their families. I hope that when I finish with the tree that I will get in the mood and get everything done and be ready for the holidays. I have hope and faith that everything will get better. For my online friends, I pray for peace and happiness to all during this joyous season. Take care...

i should have stayed in bed today

I think that I should have stayed in bed today instead of going out of town. I went to meet with my youngest son and his wife and the grandchildren.When we finally seen them the baby was crying and the Haley did not even speak to us. I have no idea what is going on. They say that kids feed off of the attitude of the parents. Well, I should have stayed home. My son got mad and walked off, leaving me and DH in the mall. He nor his wife or the kids said bye. They just walked away. So I drove home in the rain and cried all the way back. So, now I have no idea what is going to happen for the holidays, if they are coming in or not? I just don't know what to do...sorry for venting, but thanks for listening.

Droopy and the Vet's office

Yesterday I had to take Droopy to the vet's office. He had a seizure Thursday night and it scared me to tears. Droopy got over by the couch and layed down and the seizure happened. This had happened in October and we thougth that he was stung by a bee so we give him so Bendryl. I didn't know what else to do but that. So, I give him Bendryl again. This seizure lasted about 10 minutes. When I got to the vet's office, I was given medicine and told to count how many days that it was between each seizure. 56 days...so in 52 I am to start him on anti-seizure meds and hopefully this will stop a seizure from happening. The vet also told me that there is a chance that Droopy will have a seizure and not come out of it. Oh yes, the tears started flowing then. I know that Droopy is a dog, but all dog lovers know as I do, that your dog is like your best friend ...like your baby child that ...never give you a minute worth of worry...just feed him, bath him, take him to the vet and get his shots, take him on walks with you and love him. Droppy goes with me practically everywhere...when I leave in the mornings going to Mama and Daddy's he is sitting next to me on the console of the truck. He sits with me while I read the newspaper at the kitchen table (he usually falls asleep at my feet), and I never have a moment to myself. He lays on the rug in the bathroom while I shower. That is devotation from a pet. My closest friends will tell you that he is my "love bucket". To me, Droopy is like my child. When I have a bad day, Droopy is there to lick the tears away. When I worked, Droopy was the one that greeted me at the back door everyday. So I can say, Droopy is more than a pet, he is my "love bucket."

Andrew and the movie "The Polar Express"

I spent the day yesterday with a friend and her children. I strung lights on her Christmas tree and the kids could not sit still. They wanted to help so I had them to stand and look at the tree and tell me when I needed more lights... so later yesterday afternoon, me and David were invited to go and have dinner at the home of some friends. We decided that we would go and enjoy a afternoon with some friends. As the guys where outside grilling and putting up Christmas lights on the eve of the house, me and Pam were in the house feeding the kids. After they finished eating, Pam turned on the movie, "The Polar Express". Me and Andrew were on the couch and he just excited about the "magic train". Andrew then continue to tell me about a helicopter that he has seen in the county next to us that has been placed at a Memorial for the people that has served in the military. Andrew was telling me that he was going to get him a helicopter when he grows up and that he is going to jump out of it. And that he is going to take for a ride in his helicopter. And that we are both are going to jump out of the helicopter together. I told Andrew that I was not jumping out of the helicopter, that I would stay in the helicopter. And he laughed. After this conversation, Andrew told me to come in the living room and watch the "tv with me." So, we were watching the ending of the movie and Andrew was so excited about seeing the reindeers and the He was so excited when he seen Santa fly away with the help of the reideers. He was just so excited. I think this is what the season is about. The birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior and the excitement of small children. And Andrew is excited about the season. And my heart is full again...seeing this small child and the excitement of the season.....
