Hello my friends

I finally got a chance to hopefully do an entry. Last night when we came home I was just exhausted. I sat here nodding off and had to go to bed. We had a great night. Rebecca had an awesome time out with her friends. Those lil girls are twins and are 7yrs old. They are the daughter's of Brian who works with Jim. Brian was Michael Meyers in the photo's. He was walking the neighborhood, hiding in the darkness and when groups of people came, he came out of the dark, people screamed and ran. I even saw a few men run away, lmao. The Boogie man on the porch was Brians BIL. I walked so much. I'm guessing a good mile and a half. I almost didn't make the last block back to Brians house. My hip was grinding and felt as though it was on fire. My legs were stinging and my feet were throbbing. I stopped for about 2 minutes and finally made it to Brians. Jim knew I was hurting. He opened the side van door so I could sit down. I was hurting so bad I could of cried. Jim knew I was hurting and needed to go home. So he said our goodbyes, gathered up Rebecca and got her seatbelted, then helped me get up into the passengers side seat. I would rather be in labor then feel that pain again that I was in last night. It took me 10 minutes to climb the 14 steps up to our apartment. I sat down when I got up here and 5 minutes later my child wanted to go to bed. Jeez, I'm in pain, can I sit for a few more minutes? NOPE, she wanted to go to bed. Off came her costume, she washed her face and hands, brushed her teeth and got into her bed. She was asleep instantly. My poor baby was exhausted. I got into my pajamas, down loaded the pics, started an entry and then the sandman hit me with a 50 pound bag of sand. Sleep, I needed sleep. I deleted the entry and off to bed I went. I didn't wake up til 5:30am. It took forever to get out of bed. I was so stiff and sore. It was time for a dose of pain medicine. I took 2 Percogesic's. Wow, in 20 minutes the pain was almost gone. They worked better and faster then my usual Tylenol Arthritis.

I took Jim to work, Rebecca to school. Read and commented in some journals. Then I cleaned the house. It really needed it badly. I still have things to do in the kitchen, but I'll get to that over the weekend. I made a nice dinner tonight. I cooked an oven stuffer chicken with homemade stuffing. Gravy and mashed potatoes, green beans and cranberry sauce. I am going to make a nice pot of chicken and dumplings with the remaining chicken, gravy and broth for tomorrow. I'll add some egg noodles to it, because Rebecca won't eat dumplings.

I went and did my grocery shopping today. Lifted a bag not knowing the bagger made it so heavy, my wrist must of gotten sprained or something, because I let out a scream and dropped the bag back into the cart. So, it's back to using the left hand again, grrrrrrr. I really need an ace bandage, so tomorrow I will go to walgreens and get one.

Jim went and did the laundry tonight after work. Joe went with him and helped, lol. I thought that was funny. But they left the folding for me to do, grrrrrrrrr, lol. Well, it is 11:46pm and 52 degree's outside. I wish I had a screened in porch, I would love to sit out in it right now. This is my kind of weather. It was 69 today and I had all my windows open. It was great. I heard there's a storm named NOLE coming to the east coast. I hope it pitters itself out, and doesn't cause any serious damage in it's path.

Rebecca had a visit to the dentists at school today. She got her teeth cleaned, flouride treatment and 3 teeth sealed that her other dentists had missed. Other then that he said she had great teeth. Whew I was happy about that too.

I didn't get any pics of my granddaughter Marissa in her costume. I will get some though. I guess that is about it for what I have been doing.

I do want to thank LisaJo and Lisa for the lovely sympathy cards I received in the mail. Thank you so much for thinking of me. And also I want to thank Amanda for the lovely halloween card I received in the mail. I keep all my cards I receive from all of you.

I love you all....................

  4. OH I hate to hear you were in pain like that and that you were suffering to that level at all.  I always look at every single one of your pics as I enjoy seeing your family so much it feels like I've had a visit when you post like that.  I need to get offline and off to bed.  It's late and I've had a very long day.

    Sending you lots of love from GA,

  5. The pics are so cute! I love Rebecca's costume. I noticed you didn't post Marissa...so I'll be waiting to see one of her. What fun that the adults got into the spirit of Halloween, too! Jim looked good!!
    I'm so sorry you were hurting so badly afterward. I know how it is to be sore after a lot of activity you aren't used to. Just relax and let your body recuperate.
    Give our "scary" Rebecca a hug from me, ok?
    Love ya,
    Pam xoxoxox

  6. OMG LOVED THE PICS.. where's Marissa? Rebecca looks so cool. I love that hair. Cute face on the scary pic. Daniel is so handsome in his new outfit. Dontcha love how they know they're cute when they put the new clothes on. Just makes you wanna model. GEEZ pick that baby up already. I hate swings we never had one. I prefer slings and packs only because I think babies need to be held all the time. I'd love to have a screened in porch too. Our friend use to have a neat one. They would let their daughter have campouts on it and the kids loved it because they still felt like they were in the house. LOL. I was exhausted myself after all that trick or treating too.
    Take care, Chrissie
