Life is funny

I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately. Catching up with old school mates, keeping a vigil at the hospital, looking for a job, trying to survive daily has made me stop and think about my life. I love my life and every obstable it throws at me. I relish the daily grind. I welcome the problems needing solving. What I am not fond of is the simple stuff. How to pay the dang 36.00 internet bill, buy a simple pack of cigarettes, put gas in my car and food on my table. The big things are the first thing I take care of and am falling further and further behind. I know GOD will handle everything, but it is so irritating when I can't figure out how to do it. I will figure it out I suppose.....

Still no baby

Well, we still have no baby and that is good. Stephen is trying to go active. Our church is having issues with pure evil, but our pastor is good so I feel confident we will be OK. Can't wait for the weekend, I need a break. I found facebook, I am trying to get used to it. School is about to start for the grandkids and me for that matter....ready, set, go.....

Crazy week

This week as been nutz. I found a long lost relative. I got an email from my dad. I still don't have a new baby....that is good. I actually have money in the bank..to pay bills, but money....I have put in 15 job applications at various places...Life is good, very good.

Monday blah's

Today has been one of those days where I have done nothing in particular. It is extremely hot outside and my air conditioning is inside. I am really glad I no longer weigh what I used to because I would really be miserable. I have been watching TV all day with nothing really accomplished. I read my book which by the way is really good...same author as the Da Vinci Code...keeps you guessing. I found a couple of John Grisham books I have not read so that will be my next venture. I talked to Stephen today and no significant change in Charlottes blood pressure, that is good....I am about to go to the hospital, they need supplies.....LOL

Loving Life

Today has been a good day. I finished my latest class - and I have a week off from school. I cooked fried pork chops, garlic mashed potatoes, and sweet buttered corn for dinner. Baby and parents are doing fine, ready to be home, but otherwise fine. The hospital did have to increase her meds again so we are still up in the air. Tomorrow is church...I need the peace and quiet. Good music, good friends, good feelings and the Lord will make the day wonderful. I think I will cook some butter beans and corn bread tomorrow....might as well make it a southern Sunday.

Everyday is a blessing

Everyday Charlotte is pregnant is a miracle. While the anticipation of the baby is overwhelming, the thought of such an early birth is devestating. I look at my life in blocks, this block is kinda used, has some cratches, and the paint is a little dull around the edges, but it is strong and can support anything put on it.

Visit from Kids Not happening

If it isn't one thing, it is another. Dani, Chad and their kids can't make it because Nana is ill, Charlotte is in the hospital so she will not be available, Mike has to work so them making it out is not gonna happen and now PJ calls to let me know she and the girls will not be able to make it. It is so hard to try and get everyone together. Life really sucks sometimes. I guess it is better this way, I knew no one was going to make it at least a week in advance so now I can make plans. It is ok, I will figure something out very soon and get to see my kids and grandkids. I love you all.

Remember, when life hands crap in a bag, throw it away and fast. LOL

Financial issues again

Life is so hard sometimes. I am trying to get my finances straight and every time I do, life throws me a new bill. Funny but irritating. One of these days, I will be financially ok and I know it will be a shock to my system. My bank account will be jumping for joy....LOL I think life is what we make of it and it appears I am making a financial statement of poverty. GOD only gives me what HE knows I can handle....I guess this is something I can handle. I know everything will be ok, it always is, it just drives me crazy trying to get it the OK stage....

Charlotte and Baby update - all is doing ok...we are still in the hospital and I figure NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS.....the longer she stays pregnant, the longer the baby has to develop..we are crossing our fingers....

Hospital Life

Life at the hospital is hard on everyone concerned. We took some home cooked food to Stephen and Charlotte today - hospital food gets old and expensive real quick. The possibility the baby will be born so early is scary for all of us. He will be so tiny...26 weeks is way little. No matter when he is born, he will not be able to come home until November...makes this Thanksgiving a special one. We will all have something to be thankful for....Life is good over all...GOD is with us and the prayers keep coming in. I have faith.

Rain

We are expected rain today. Some people might say we have had enough, I say no. Rain is GOD's way of cleansing the air we breathe. Rain gives us life with water and oxygen. Rain is amazing. Falling gracefully at times easy and serene. Other times vicious and strong. Mother nature does not play when it comes to rain. She can be soft and gentle or hard and ferosious. Never under estimate mother nature and her love for the pure gentle calming rain not the torrentous, stimulating, powerful downpour.
