Mixed emotions about Mother's Day this year...dont' get me wrong it was good...had my youngest grandson, so Naomi/Mike/Logan could go to the Astros game with his ball team...Jack was so fun to have, he always is...he's our little "character" for sure...Logan is my little sweetheart and Jack is our little "character", both sweethearts, but so different...and I luv them both more and more each day...
Went to the cemetary to put flowers out there for my Mom...Jack asked where she was, just pointed to the headstone, he bent down and kissed her headstone...yep...totally lost it then...I'm trying to get used to Mother being gone...and I am...but some days...just don't do it too well...this was one of those days I guess...
My friend, Carolyn had emailed me during the night asking for some help...she wasn't very plain in the mail what was going on, so when I saw Sue, our mutual friend at church, I asked her if she had heard from Carolyn, yes, but her voicemail was confusing...felt stupid with the next step...I pulled my cell phone out of my purse to call Frances to ask her if Carolyn was ok...the whole time I was telling Sue...I'll call Frances, she'll know what's going on and what we need to do...Sue just looked at me...when I looked up, we were both bawling like babies...I think that's when it hit me...Frances was gone...she was really gone...just like Mother was gone...is gone...I remember when Chase and Ed passed away...the first Easter I went and put plastic eggs filled with rocks (so the ants wouldn't be on his grave) in them on his grave...that's when it hit me...Chase was gone...and I didn't want him to be gone...I wanted him back...I wasn't ready to give him up...but I couldn't do anything about it...bawled worse than a baby...still do...
I still miss you Mother...I miss you Chase...Ed...Uncle Bill...I miss you Frances...silly old woman...worry wart...I miss you...luv u all...miss you forever...and bawling like a baby now...glad I'm by myself...but I guess I'm really not...I know God will continue to get me through this...always has and always will...eternally grateful...silly old cry baby woman...

Organization....
yea right...every time I decide to get "organized" I usually wind up, NOT being able to find anything for awhile...hopefully it's going to HELP me this time...
New Cards
I've had some serious computer problems lately, so I'm wayyyyy behind on posting...hopefully I'm up and running with "minimal" problems from now on...but my scanner program doesn't work with my new Vista 64...don't always listen to salespeople...they don't always tell u the ENTIRE story...
SO....long story short...I don't have a scanner program to work with my computer, but I'm hoping Scott's will work, but for now, I'm using my digital camera which I'm NOT good at, so my pictures r a bit blurry...sorry...I'm still learning...I'll try really hard to get better...

Antiobiotics...a wonder drug!
Wow...I have been sick off and on since March now. Got sick, took a LONG time to get better, but did. Then our area flooded 3 times in 3 weeks and we worked almost non-stop. So guess what...sore throat again, I start losing my voice...crud...this hurts...BUT...I'm NOT going to a doctor...just ain't gonna happen.
So we go to our family reunion in Deadwood. Didn't get to see much of anyone, stayed in the trailer trying to sleep it off and wasn't sure just what was going on, so tried to stay clear of people so I wouldn't give it to them. All I heard from people is, you must have the Swine Flu...you better go to the doctor. So I start wondering if maybe that's what it is...start getting a bit nervous about it.
Monday morning arrives, we're back in Houston. Now I can barely talk, hurts to swallow, can't eat much, soft food only and even got to the point that I couldn't swallow chicken noodle soup...by Monday pm, I was trying to be sick at my stomach, but I didn't have anything to throw up, so had the horrible dry-heaves...on top of a terrible sore throat...
Tuesday morning, woke up...or at least crawled out of bed...haven't slept much the last 3 weeks either...I gave in and went to a dr. I don't have Swine Flu, but I do have an infected throat, which has been severely aggravated by SMOKE. And NO...I am not a smoker..but I am around people who are.
Bottom line...last day of antibiotics today...I'm feeling almost back to par now...still get tired kind of easy...and I've learned a very good lesson...stay away from cigarette smoke...it's a KILLER !
Thank you God for antibiotics!

I feel crummy...
I thought taking a FLu vaccine was supposed to help PREVENT getting the flu...guess not in my case. Oh well...I've been out of the house 1 time in the past week for about an hour...but now i'm coughing my fool head off again, so I guess it's back to nyquil, pj's and my blanket...

It's about time...lol
I know...it's been awhile since I've posted anything. Sorry, but sometimes life is just too busy. I've had numerous computer issues and hopefully, my poor little girl is up and going for good, or at least for a long time now. I've got the flu now, but at least I can hold my own again, so hopefully that's gone for good this time.
I've got some new cards made up, so I'll get them scanned and posted so you can "critique" my humor.
Our little girl, Nicole is getting married August 9, 2009. So we're all really excited for her and Jimbo. He's a really nice guy...very good to her. We're all very happy for her. And his family is so nice. We're just so excited all the way around.
And hopefully, Scott and I will be going to the Keys and Bahamas the day after the wedding for a short vacation. It's definitely needed...this has already been a wild year for us. Our Pasadena E-tag we purchased a few months ago, has definitely been a God send. Thanks again God...we're trying to make you proud of us.
Scott is really getting involved in church issues. And he's enjoying it a lot. This has been a long standing prayer that has been answered. So once again, Thank you God! Seems I say thanks to God a lot...I don't understand how people can NOT believe in God??
Our Angel Ministry at church is going along steadily...we don't have a lot of volunteers, but the ones who do show up on a regular basis are so helpful...and I had someone tell me the other day, her husband got a card for the first time and was so excited. THIS...is the reason we work so hard on the card ministry. There isn't a lot of glamour in our jobs, but when one person is so happy, then it's all worth the effort. So needless to say, I was very happy when she told me about him getting the birthday card in the mail.
So...guess I better get off and start scanning some cards for you...
Later,
Ce

We're all so excited...our sweet little baby-girl Nicole is getting married! Sometime in August 09'. Her fiance is one of the nicest, most considerate persons I've met in a long time. And he truly is good to Nicole. She has definitely found her prince this time around. Sooooo...we're all about to go into major "getting married" mode !
