October musings

Well, it is now the 23rd of October.  Time is really flying.  Tanner is now going to the dr once a week, and we're not quite sure she will make it to her due date of Dec 5.  She is very tired and just wants it to be over.
TMM has been a little slow this month, but T has kept me busy with stuff for the boys and HK.
I think the most distressing thing that has happened is that the darling DIL has unfriended me from facebook, so I now can't see what the kids have been doing, or how they are growing.  We did not got to MK's birthday party because Bob told John that we did not feel welcome with his friends around, since they threw us under the bus last time we were there.  Oh, the DIL has also unfriended T from facebook also.  Oh, well.  My parents didn't have access to lots of pics of my kids.  However, we did go visit them at least 2 times a year.
It is really sad that John cares so little about us.
Grandmother is doing good after her knee surgery.  Of course, she thinks she should be all better in 6 weeks, but that's not going to happen.
Jim had quadruple bypass on Thurs 10/17.  He is going to get to go home maybe this Thurs or Fri.
I am knitting HK a blanket.  Hope I get it done before she gets here.
Bob has been cleaning his shop before he starts work on a dresser for a customer.  He made H1 and H2 beds for their room, they look awesome.
Supper's ready, gotta go.

September already.

Well well, it is now September 6th.  Bob has been gone for 10 days taking care of his mom and dad while she recovers from knee surgery.  It has been pretty boring around here but I have definitely been kept busy with TMM.  I have about 60 orders out and work most every day all day on this.
I have been reading Jesus Calling, a devotional book, that I am really trying to work on my attitude and my walk with God.  I feel so blessed with healthy grandchildren, a wonderful husband and the ability to work from home.  We have been so blessed, and it mainly comes from learning what is really important, and it's not things.
I have been trying to cut down on my eating and maybe exercising a little more (ha).
Really my life is pretty boring.
I cant wait for Bob to get home tonight.  I have missed him.  He is definitely the love of my life.

July thoughts

Have I really looked at this blog 77 times without figuring out how to post, or are people secreting viewing my very important rants.  Only hope it's not the darling DIL.
Tanner finds out Thursday what she is having.  I am very torn.  It would be fun to dress a girl cutely, but the boys are SO much fun.  My only prayer is the child is healthy. 
Still working hard at TMM.  It seems to come in spells of how busy we are.  I have been trying to stay caught up, but some days I really work long hours.  The setting things up in the computer is time consuming as well as cutting the many pieces of material for the koozies, which are our standard bread and butter.
Why is it that both of my children are mad that Bob and I don't have jobs?  We are doing OK at this time and I actually have 2 jobs and Bob has been building furniture for some people.  However, I will say that he is not the fastest, but the stuff looks good.  He has actually been looking for jobs and went to see about 2 on Wednesday.  It is really hard down here, if you are over 60, and how most jobs are done over the internet.  How stupid is that when it is so ? (can't think of the word).  Wow, that Alzheimer is kicking in today. Oh, the word is impersonal.  That's the word of the day.
We really need to get back in church.  I really wish we could find some folks our age that we could be friends with.  But then again, do I really want to go anywhere?  Most of the time, I will have to say the answer is no.  I was aggravated at Bob on Friday, that he didn't want to go to the fireworks because it was wet.  REally, come on, it's the beach.
Should I invite J &A to Bob's birthday in Aug.  I have been thinking about it and thinking about asking Paul if we could put his 5th wheel in the driveway, so they could sleep there.  I'm sure they probably wouldn't come, but I at least opened the door.
We so much for today.  See ya in about a month.

May Day 2013

Well, let's just say it's been a long time baby.  My how time flies.  I now have 5 grandchildren with another on the way.  Tanner is due in Dec.  They are leaving tomorrow to go see Susie and Andy and hit Disney World.  We went to DW with them last Oct and had a really good time, also P & J went too.  Harrison has just finished his dr visits after burning both hands on the oven door.  He was in the hospital 2 nights.  He is fearless.
Went to MK christening 2 weeks ago.  Had a really nice time until we got to Atmore and John called and preceeded to ream me out about being negative and smarmy.  It was a 20 minute rant, with no apologies.  Also it is really funny that DIL has now unfriended me on facebook.
Have been playing handbells at church, really enjoying it.  Bob is doing security at the church on Wednesday nights.
I now have the monogramming machine at my house.  I do all the monogramming for TMM.  Tanner is in charge of PR and all emails.  We are staying steadily busy.  Sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed and under appreciated, but I plug on and get over it.
I pray that my relationship with John will someday change, but right now it's one day at a time.  Bob did talk to him, but he felt he did not owe my an apology.
