January News

January....what happen this month? Can't think of too many things which is good. My daughter left Wednesday to go back to KY. It snowed here..6 whole inches..the dogs were in snow heaven, me well I just took it in stride. Living in upstate NY, I have seen my fair share of snow. The kids had off for two days...kinda funny for only 6 inches. Nick thought it would be funny to drive in it and yes he got stuck. Had to get a hummer to pull him out. Jay was a little smarter and only went out to go to work and then come home. Yes I made it to work both days we had bad weather. Wouldn't look too good for me to call in since I lived upstate for 10 years. Other than that it had been a quiet month. Got my hair cut and high lighted to start off the new year. Since I will be turning 50 this year I thought I would do something different.



Just how I like them. Here are some pictures of Gryacee before she left....

December News...

Well this year is almost over and I want to say good riddance. I am not going to say that 2009 is going to be the year since there will be a lot of changes coming. My husband is scheduled to PCS to Germany for 3 years. My son J. is going to move out and eventually my daughter will go back to Kentucky. This will give me plenty of me time. Don't know how I am going to use it but it will be very different. I will still be working out but will probably add some weekend classes. I want to volunteer at the dog shelter since I can't adopt any more. I would also like to join a book club but don't know about that one yet. Depending on how much time I will have left over.

Christmas was very nice except that my husband was very sick. My daughter and granddaughter are here. My sons were here too. Probably will be the last year everyone will be together. So I really enjoyed it. The baby got a lot of things for only being 7 months old. But it was cute. I got really nice things from my boys. They went over and beyond on the gift department.

I am hoping all works out for my kids. I know how hard it is out in the really world and I do pray that things work out. S. will have to work really hard with a baby now. J. too since he will be moving out. N. will have to find a job to support the new car he got in August. So all I can do is pray for them and hope for the best.

Here are some Christmas pictures...

November News

Haven't posted in a while. Not much new going on. Same old stuff. My daughter is now living in NY. She went back to Kentucky in June and the same things started happening again. So while the ex was there he packed up her things and decided that she, the baby and her boyfriend would come back here. We tried that once and it didn't work. Not because I didn't try but they were not happy here...So now she is in NY and not happy there either. It's hard to go back and live with someone when you have been out on your own for a while. But in order to save money they will have to suck it up and live there. I really wish it would have worked out here. Would have loved to have the baby here for her first Christmas but I guess it wasn't in the cards.

Been trying to get son #1 to move out. He just doesn't want to follow the rules of the house so I think it is time for him to leave. He says he has been looking and found something with another kid but so far he hasn't made any attempts to start packing up his room.

Son #2 is supposed to be trying to find a job. He says he is out there but so far in the last four months he has only gotten one interview. Can't be trying too hard.

Other than the little inconveniences in life I have much to be thankful for. I have a wonderful husband, healthy kids, a good job and nice house and my lovable furry creatures that make me smile everyday. With that said I wish everyone a Very Happy Thanksgiving.

Boys...

Ok what can I say...my boys are about to put me in my grave. Lets start at the beginning. My husband went away on business for two weeks. It was going to be a much needed break from him. The first week went well. I did work alot of overtime since I am extremely busy at work. But as the weekend came along, I thought, my first mistake, that it would be very relaxing...My son N. wanted to spend the night with his friend. My son J came home from work and we were both sleeping when the phone rang. Now I am not a fan of a 1:30am phone call. They can never be good. I let my son J. answer it and I thought I should pick it up too. So I did and to my surprise it was the sheriff department asking me if I had a son N. I said yes and that I needed to come pick him up at a local hotel. He and some of his friends and some girls were drinking and the girls were acting up without their tops on. So me and my son J go and pick up his brother and yes he got his a$$ reamed out. No more sleeping over for either one of them. Boys, they will be the death of me....

On a better note...I got to visit my daughter and my granddaughter last weekend and even flew in to meet my husband in Nashville. We had a wonderful weekend. Here are some picture of Graycee.
