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....................

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU

 

Halloween Scare

Darkness falls this halloween eve
spirits rise from a crypt beneath
ghost goblins witches and more
there out there waiting
just outside your door
do you hear their howl
can you hear them moan
their out there waiting
don't go out there alone
behind a tree or under a car
they know your out there
and know where you are
they'll wait and watch
and quietly creep
you won't know their coming
they make not a peep
stay in your house say not a word
daylight will come and the dead go home.

Scarey

Ghosts goblins witches and more,
are lurking outside don't open your door.
The rattle of chains flying high on a broom,
out in the darkness lit by the moon.
There's vampires wolfman frankenstein too,
be very careful their waiting for you.
Hold onto your loved ones hold on tight,
hold onto your loved ones on this scarey night.

No Title, Mind Blank

I have been trying to do an entry now for a couple days. I would start it and just click out of it. My heart has just not been into it. Sunday night was so hard for me. My brother in law and his oldest daughter were sitting and the pain and hurt on their faces nearly ripped my heart out. I wish I could make this all go away and bring my sister back to them. Susie was so beautiful, and looked so peaceful. Her hair was so pretty and so soft. She looked like the angel I know she is. So many people came and paid their respects. Susie was loved by everyone there.

Jim and I and my daughter Emma and her husband Dan and Adrianna first went to my sister Helen's. There she cooked a nice dinner of grilled London broil, peas and a homemade pasta salad. It was very good. I loved her pasta salad and the next time I make it I am using her recipe.

Helen rode with us to the viewing. After we left we went back to Helen's for coffee and cakes. Gotta love those Little Debbies oatmeal and cream sandwich cookies, lol. We all sat and chatted for a bit, then we left to come home. Rebecca was ready for bed when we picked her up. Poor thing was so tired. She was asleep before I even had her covers on her. Tonight my child tells me, Mommy Aunt Susie is in the stone yard right? And I say yes, why? She says, cause her soul went to heaven and now she sleeps with the angels. I had to fight back the tears so I didn't upset her.

Today I kept my grandson for the day. He's not feeling very well and wanted his mommom. Tonight Dan had to call me so I could say good night Daniel because he was crying and wanted me to come tuck him in. He loves his mommom. I took some pics of Daniel and Rebecca playing, but I haven't downloaded them yet. When I do I will post them. Tomorrow I am going to my granddaughter Marissa's parade at school. Yes I will be taking pictures and sharing them with you all. Rebecca's class is doing nothing for halloween, except the teacher is buying cupcakes and juice. No costumes or parade :(

Well, it is going on midnight now and I am tired. I am going to go get some sleep. Or at least try too. Lately I haven't been able to sleep much. I hope everyone has a fun filled halloween and stay safe please. Check all the goodies the kids get before they eat any. I always check.

Love to all.............CINDY

A Thinker

See If You Can Figure Out What
These Words Have In Common......

Banana
Dresser
Grammar
Potato
Revive
Uneven
Assess

Are You Peeking Or Have You Already Given Up?
Give It Another Try....
You'll kick yourself when you discover the answer. Go
back and look at them again; think hard. OK... Here
You Go .. Hope You Didn't Cheat.
This Is Cool.



Answer:

In all of the words listed, if you take the first
letter, place it at the end of the word, and then
spell the word backwards, it will be the same word.
Did you figure it out?

Til we meet again

Good Morning. I would like to thank 2 special ladies for this above tag. Chrissie who sent this to me and Sugar for adding my sister's name to it.

I ask you all to go to a previous entry I made titled, My Beautiful Sister. In the comments section you will find a comment left by Susie's husband (my brother in law) addressed to all of you. My heart breaks for Mike, because I know he is hurting over the loss of his wife/bestfriend. Tonight I will join Mike and so many other wonderful people who loved Susie so very much, to say goodbye to our Susie.

So many of you got to read her journal and hear her stories of her life and her family, her beliefs and disbeliefs, but I wish you could of known her in person. Susie could walk into a room and the love would just surround her. She would smile and all around her would feel how much she loved life, her family and her friends. Everyone who met her would love her. She just had a way about her where hate could not enter in her life or anyone else's who was around her. Love, warmth and kindness is what Susie was about.

Tonight there will be many tears shed for this remarkable lady. But my tears will not be tears of sadness. They will be tears of happiness, because I know Susie is making her journey into God's kingdom. In heaven she will no longer feel pain or sadness. She will be the beautiful angel I always told her she was. I will not mourn her death, but I will celebrate her life that she shared with us here on earth, and celebrate the new life she will now have in heaven. She will be welcomed into god's kingdom not only by our lord and god but by so many who knew her here on earth. It warms my heart knowing she will be up in heaven watching over my niece Sandra who passed away 4 years ago at the young age of 18, my nephew Bryant who passed away at the age of 5 mos old, and my grandson Michael who passed away just hours before his birth. I just know in my heart Susie will take them under her wings and keep them forever by her side. I hope she is given the opportunity to meet my mother. My mom was like Susie in so many ways. Always wanting to do something for others and never asking for anything in return. I think they would become the greatest of friends if they met.

So Susie, as you walk across the Strawberry Patch rainbow through the clouds in the sky and journey to your new home, go with peace in your heart. We here on earth will miss you, but we will be just fine. You have left a piece of you here on earth in our hearts and also with the two beautiful children you blessed this world with.

Rest in Peace my sister, and spread your wings and fly. I love you.

Your sister always and forever..............Cindy

Got a minute?

If you have a minute to spare could you go light a candle for Susie and her family. Thank you so much for all your kind comments and prayers.

There is also someone very special to my sister Susie that I want to ask for prayers for. It is Susie's cousin Donna. Donna was there all the years with Susie that I wasn't. Susie always told me, Donna was not just her cousin, she was her best friend and a sister to her. Donna, please know I am so sorry about Susie. I know she loved you so very much. Susie and I would chat and she would tell me all the stories of you growing up together. I want to thank you with all my heart for loving, caring and sharing your life with Susie. You are my baby sister's family and you are my family too. I am so thankful we got to meet at Susie's daughter's birthday party. I could see for myself how special you really are and why my sister loved you so much.

I am doing a little better today. Still numb and in shock over all this. Thank you Lisa for our chat last night. It helped alot, and thank you to my cousin Carmen for our chat this morning. She always makes me feel better. And to my sister Helen who called me this morning and my sister Lucy who called me the other day. Helen has invited Jim and I and Dan and Emma to her house for a light supper before the viewing sunday night. I think we may take her up on the offer. Helen will then ride with us.

I have a favor to ask of you all. could you please click on the link below and light a candle for Susie's husband and their daughters? They are gonna need all the prayers we can give them to help with the healing of their broken hearts.

Again thank you all so much for caring and for being here for me. It means alot to me.

 

Love to all.............  Cindy

 

Light a candle by adding your thoughts and memories

 

Thank you all

I want to thank all of you for all your prayers, emails and ecards. It means so much to me to have such wonderful friends/family here in jland and outside jland. I love you all so much.

Today was such a hard day. It seemed like everything made me cry. I held my granddaughter and cried, because my sister Susie will never get to meet her. I went grocery shopping and in the bakery department I spotted a box of Suzie Q cakes, and yep I cried. I had 3 people ask me today how I was doing and before I could say anything I started crying.

I still can't believe Susie is gone. I keep hoping this is all a bad dream and when I wake up she will still be here. I wanna grab the phone and call her and say, Hey baby girl, it's me your big sis. My body is numb and I feel as though I am walking or moving in slow motion. My eyes burn from all the tears shed, and are so swollen and red.

Yes, Susie was my half sister, but that did not matter to me. What matters is that she was my sister and I couldn't love her anymore then I already did. Susie was also the author of the journal Strawberry Patch. My sister loved the characters of strawberry shortcake. She got me started journaling, and I am so thankful that she did. I have made really wonderful friends here in jland, and I feel so welcomed here. I too was saddened when Susie left jland.

I would do anything to get my sister back in this world, but I know she is happy up in heaven. I bet she's right there along side my niece Sandy helping her care for my grandson Michael and my nephew Bryant.

Rest in Peace my baby sister. You will forever be in my heart and thoughts.

Cindy
