So Tired But Feeling Good.

The grandson has gone home and I have to say that we were actually sad to see him go. We had such a wonderful time with the little guy. Now that he is older his stays are really so much easier; especially since he sleeps through the night LOL
I have to get my house back in order and catch up on laundry today. Also have to straighten the craft room, still have some mess from Valentine's crafts. I am super excited for my next little project!

Elizabeth of Creative Breathing is doing the most adorable Easter Garland Along!http://creativebreathing.blogspot.com/  Elizabeth has the most amazing blog and is also an amazingly talented woman.  I absolutely love her blog!  And she shares so many of her lovely talents with us all. So while out wandering blog land make sure to stop by Creative Breathing to see Elizabeth and her beautiful blog.

Will be back later with pics from our trip to the park yesterday and  my first  ornies for the garland :D

A Fun Day

Oh what a day!! I fixed breakfast for the hubby and grandson, then it was time for us all to get dressed. Grandson and I played in the yard with the puppy then it was time for lunch. After lunch I had plans to do some shopping and to go to a local park. Well, we only managed to make it to the park and let me tell you I barely made it through the park LOL 
The grandson had sooo much fun running around playing with all the other kids and I had fun chasing him...until the last 20 minutes. I was wooped! Poor thing came home asked me to take off his socks and shoes, laid on the couch and was out :D  That was 2 hrs ago and he is still out!  I am just too wore out to post pics tonight. I think I will get him up to eat some dinner, into the tub and p.j's and lay on the couch and watch tv with him. Have a nice evening.

Our Sleep Over Is Going Great!

First we had dinner....grilled cheese, french fries, veggies, doritos and ranch. This little guy will eat anything if it has ranch on it LOL  After dinner it was out to go for a walk through the park. He was so excited over the motion sensor lights on peoples homes! Oh to be entertained by something so simple. Come home and play some and now it is time for a bath. Ummmm.... "NO BATH" okay so it took me a half hour to convince him that he had to have a bath!

He survived the bath and into  warm p.j.'s. I just love this picture of him. He just has the cutest smile on his face...almost like he has a secret LOL

 Time to play with the dog!  They had the best time playing under the table LOL

  You remeber how it was to be at Nana's for the night...she let you stay up late and eat what ever you wanted....atleast mine did! 

 So at 8:30 pm it was time to take a road trip...off to Dairy Queen for ice cream and a quick stop at the corner store for M&M's! Oh his mother would have my head on a block! But when a cute little face like this asks you for ice cream and you have none in the house what else are you suppose to do LOL

And yes he stayed up way to late playing with Nana and Papa and Romeo the puppy, but OH WE HAD SOO MUCH FUN!! It amazes me watching this little guy turn into a little boy. It seems just like yesterday that I was at the hospital watching this amazing angel come into the world.  

Well, It is 1 am and I better head to bed...we have a very busy day today. Shopping for toys and a picnic at the park! 

Feeling a little better...

I had a wonderful early Valentine with the hubby Friday evening. He took me to Cracker Barrel for dinner and let me shop in the gift shop!  I love their gift shop.  He bought me an adorable chocolate scented teddy bear, an old time looking wire chick that is an egg holder; have plans to alter it. And he bought me a red, heart shaped flower vase that I also plan on altering at some point. I have pics but do not have time just now to get them up.  To our luck Cracker Barrel was running a special that we did not know about before getting there, $5 off all purchases!! After dinner we came home to meet with my middle daughter and her hubby. We all went to see "The Wolfman" starring Anthony Hopkins and Benicio DelTurro!  It was an awesome scarey movie! After the movie the hubby took us all out for a few drinks at our favorite bar :D
Saturday was a quiet do nothing day, and I literally did nothing. Played around on the computer and watched tv, absolutely nothing that required my brain to function LOL My middle daughter and her family and my son were here in the evening and we all sat out in the yard around a fire chatting. A very relaxing, therapeutic day.
Sunday morning, Valentine's Day, the inlaws showed up toting a huge bouquet of roses!!  My wonderful hubby had given them money to buy them for him to give to me.  So beautiful!!!  On a sad note my cat decided to play with them that night and I lost some roses, but fortunately they fell off whole and have them sitting in an old tin bowl in my craft room :D
This evening we have our 28 mth old grandson coming to stay with us for a couple days.  We have plans to have a picnic at the park tomorrow! I may not be back until we send him home to his mom and dad, but when I come back I will have picks of my goodies and our little visitor :D

With Everything That Is Going On, Now....

someone has just tried to break in my house!!!  Literally just happened less than a half hour ago. Hubby and I are laying in bed with all the lights off watching tv and all of a sudden we here someone yell "Anybody Home"  What the hell ???? And that is what I yelled.  Someone was in my house!! I came creeping down my hall and did not see anyone. So I get brave and grab a flashlight and a weapon and head onto the enclosed front porch. Still nothing. Hit the side yard and see that my inside shed light is on. Come back around to the front of the house and hear something on the other side of the house where my car and another shed are. Heard something and thought it was coming from inside the shed. I fling the door open and hear someone go over the fence behind the shed!!!  Came running back to the house and called the managers
Just two days ago a neighbor had a bike stolen out of his yard and now this. We obviously have someone or two raiding our neighborhood. We live in a very small and quiet 55+ mobile home park, but on the other side of the property is a very large mobile home park. We are thinking whoever it is came from there. The managers of our park will be calling the police dept. tomorrow to report what has been going on here and ask for them to add the park to their patrols for a few days. Maybe it will scare whoever is doing this away.
So much adrenaline and now I am wide awake :(  With the bad weather that we have been having my hubby has been having a very hard time with his breathing and sleeping; so now we are awake  probably until the sun comes up.  Hubby is watching a movie on his computer and I think I will cruise the web with a cup of hot tea.

This is How I Feel

This is our weather today and this is how I feel. Dark, cloudy, cold, surrounded by vibrant people, but feeling naked and alone. It seems as if in just a couple of days my life has taken turns for the worse that will never be repaired. Infact some of these things will not and can not be repaired and it has me in absolute gutwrenching turmoil. I am unable to do anything to help heal my family that has been affected and do not know how to deal with this myself. My family has been changed in a way that will never be right again.

My mind is in hyper speed trying to sort everything into some semblance of reason and it is not working. I feel that I am at the edge of a cliff teetering not to plunge over into a dark abyss. When you are the glue of an entire family unit and you are falling apart yourself how do you hold everyone together? My family is coming apart in front of my eyes and there is nothing I can do to stop it! Between this latest nightmare and my husbands terminal illness along with all the other drama that seems a constant in my life I just want to crawl in a whole and never come out.

I can not keep one straight thought in my head, I can not focus on just one thing, I wander the house aimlessly wondering what I should be doing. What can I do?
