Prayers for Patty and more.....

A fellow JLander Patty (littlelady1699) needs our prayers. Patty was in an automobile accident. I asked if she needed prayers and she said yes. So please keep her in prayer or good thoughts for a speedy recovery.

I have been trying to get caught up on alerts, but with all the interruptions I'm not having much luck. I get 2 or 3 alerts read and commented on, something happens or someone needs something, I come back and got a dozen more alerts added, lol. Wow, you guys got busy lives to write about, lol. But I love it and I love reading about your days and lives. So, if I haven't gotten to you in the past day or two please know I will.

I had to go downstairs earlier for a couple hours. Joe had a bigger satelite dish installed and a new box for the new toy (TV) he bought. Wow, is that tv great. Now I really want one. It's like being in a movie theater, with a big clear picture and surround sound. I called his cell while he was at work and told him he has to share. If there's a movie on I want to see I'm coming downstairs to watch it and I'll bring the popcorn, lol. He said I can watch his tv anytime, and even during the day when he's at work. That was nice of him. But I still want my own, lol.

I am doing much better. My sleeping is doing very well lately. Except for the night before last when I was awakened at 4am by my ever so loving child, grrrrrrrrrrr. She said there was bad scarey pictures in her head and she couldn't sleep. So, we had to get up. And once I am awakened I cannot go back to sleep. But I did manage to get a nap at my daughter's house. I was holding my grandson and he fell asleep in my arms and so did his mommom. Last night Jim took over the computer. He had some music to make for his boss, so I sat and watched one of my favorite shows, "Big Love" which is on HBO, then I went to bed. Yep at 10pm I was asleep and didn't get up until 6am. I fixed the coffee, packed Jims lunch and sat down and watched the morning news. We're at 237 murders now in the city of Philadelphia so far this year. It's getting to where your afraid to even go out of your house anymore. Jim said he worries about Rebecca and I when he is at work or away. I told him when we're home I keep the door locked, and if we're in the van driving, I also keep the doors locked. And if we are not in the van the doors are kept locked so no one can hide in it. I have 3 windows in my livingroom that are over the porch roof. Someone can easily stand on the rail and climb up and come in those windows, so they are kept locked if I am not home or Jim is away. All the other windows they cannot get too, unless their spider man and can walk up 2 stories on side of house, lol.

Besides this journal there is 4 others. None are private, so if you'd like to take a peek feel free to do so. I have 2 recipes I am going to add to the OutOfMyKitchen journal. Since it is summer and there's lots of fresh grown veggies around and some of you are growing some of your own, I thought these recipes used with cucumbers would be fitting. They are Chilled Cucumber soup and Crab Salad with Cucumbers.

 

Well it is time for me to try and straighten this livingroom up some. I have only managed to make the beds so far today. Keep cool and drink lots of water.

 

Love to all,

 

 

A Relaxing Day

 Today was a good day for me, finally. We had storms last night, so I shut down computer, watched a little television then went to bed. I slept nine hours straight, with no waking up. WOW!!!!!!!!! It has been years since I did anything like that. It felt great. I felt great. Nine hours, wow!!!

So, what did I do beings I woke up feeling so refreshed? Not much of anything. LOL. I made breakfast, sat at computer, made lunch, sat at computer, made dinner, sat at computer, got Rebecca into bed and all tucked in, put my Pj's on and I'm sitting at computer, lol. Dinner dishes? They can wait til tomorrow, lol.

Jim did his saturday daily chores. Took out the trash and went and did the laundry, lol. Washed, dryed and folded the clothes. He put his clothes away and I put Rebecca and my clothes away. Jim kept Rebecca busy all day with DVD's and games and wrestling and talks. They are both worn out and here's the proof, lol.

 Here's my baby girl sound asleep. She will not sleep with her feet covered. She takes after me, lol. She won't use her Princess blanket because it covers her feet, lol. So she uses her Duckie blanket. Don't kids look like little angels when their sleeping? I always loved watching her sleep, still do. And here's what her daddy is doing right now, lol.

 Yep, there's my hubby snoring away on the couch, lol. He didn't even wake up or flinch at all when the camera flashed. I guess Rebecca wore him out, lol. I bet he's still asleep on the couch when I go to bed, lol. I made him a very special dinner, all his favorites. Stuffed cornish game hen, baked yam and corn on cob. He ate every bit of it too.

Tomorrow Rebecca and I are going out for a little bit. I'm going to go to Walmart and to the Dollar Tree. Jim will be downstairs at Joes watching movies on Joe's new toy he just bought. Here is his 900.00 toy.

 42 inch screen LCD tv. It is nice. I want one. I'm writing Santa a letter. Yep Dear Santa Hubby, please get me one of these, lol. This will be good when Joes Mom comes to visit. She is blind in one eye from an accident in 1972 when she was hit by a drunk driver. She almost died, was in a coma for 14 weeks. She had major head trauma, broken arm, broken leg, punctured lung and 3 cracked ribs. She had 4 children and a husband to take care of, and this woman made it through. God Bless her. But with Joes new toy, lol, she'll be able to see the tv alot better and hear it too, cause it has surround sound.

I'm wondering if your all getting alerts? I've got a few today, maybe about 10. I usually get alot more then that. I was able to catch up on all my back alerts today finally. That was a big load off my mind. I didn't want anyone to think I had forgotten them.

Well, I guess that is about it for tonight. I hope everyone had a pleasant day today and an even better day tomorrow. I'm going to finish my cup of Herbal White Tea (caffeine and sugar free) then go to bed. Maybe I can get another good night's sleep.

Love to you all......................

RECALL

Sara Lee Recalls 27 Brands of Bread

AP

Posted: 2007-07-28 07:57:16

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. (AP) - Sara Lee Corp. is recalling 27 brands of whole wheat bread products because they could contain small metal pieces, the company said Friday.

A recent routine inspection of a bakery in Meridian, Miss., uncovered problems with a flour-sifting screen, said company spokesman Mark Goldman.

The machine was "not up to our specification and raised the possibility some metal could have dislodged," Goldman said.

The problem was isolated to the Meridian bakery, which continued production using bagged flour that did not require the sifting system, Goldman said.

The recall involves EarthGrains, Publix, Sara Lee Delightful, Sara Lee Hearty & Delicious and several other brands that were stamped "best if purchased by" July 25, 2007, to Aug. 7, 2007, and included the code "222."

The products were sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee.

Consumers can return the bread to the store where it was purchased for a refund, Downers Grove, Ill.-based Sara Lee said.

Sara Lee shares fell 18 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $16 Friday.

THE BEACH

Life's a Beach...

A couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the beach a lot. One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach pretty much every day.

She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing. She would approach people who were sitting on the beach, glance around, then speak to them.

Generally, the people would respond negatively and she would wander off, but occasionally someone would nod and there would be a quick exchange of money for something she carried in her bag. The couple assumed she was selling drugs and debated calling the cops, but since they didn't know for sure they just continued to watch her.

After a couple of weeks the wife asked, "Honey, have you ever noticed that she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic devices?"

He hadn't and said so. Then she said, "Tomorrow I want you to get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can find out what she's really doing."

Well, the plan went off without a hitch, and the wife was almost hopping up and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave. The man walked up the beach and met his wife at the road. "Well, is she selling drugs?" she asked excitedly."

No, she's not." he said, enjoying this probably more than he should have.

"Well, what is it, then?" his wife fairly shrieked.

The man grinned and said. "Her name is Sally and she's a battery salesperson."

"Batteries?" cried the wife.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Yes," he replied. "Sally sells C cells by the seashore."

 

 

AND YES, I AM BEING SILLY AGAIN. A THANK YOU GOES OUT TO MY FRIEND MARY FOR THIS FUNNY STORY. And I slept 9 hours straight through last night. I feel great today.

Doctor

I'm taking all of your advice. I called my doctor's office. My doctor is on vacation until next friday, but is seeing patients next saturday. So, I have an appointment next saturday to see him. I am thinking my problems are due to my eatting habits lately having to eat less and softer things due to teeth problems and not getting enough sleep at night. I use to sleep 8 to 10 hours a night. But since I had Rebecca in 2001, my sleep pattern is really messed up and I am really lucky to get 4 to 5 hours sleep a night. And then having broken sleep really puts a strain on me. So, I will let the doctor know all this. No insurance so all of this has to come out of pocket, grrrrrrrr. My health is worth it, I know. Besides if I died or ended up in hospital, who would spoil my kids and grandkids, lol. I'll let you know the outcome when I know anything.

Thank you so much for caring and worrying about me. That really makes me feel so loved. You guys rock, ya know????

I Love you all................CINDY

Odd's and End's

UGH!!!!!!!!! Is just how I feel this morning. The past 24 hours were from hell. I woke up yesterday morning, hurting so bad I was almost in tears. My body felt like I was run over by a dozen steam rollers. My head was pounding, I had really bad pains in my stomach and both my hands were numb. Not a good thing, I know. I took my BP meds, baby aspirin, stress tab, womans vitamin, and a Darvacet and I felt a little better about an hour or so later. It's a good thing too, because I had grocery shopping to do, and had to go on line and pay bills. All went well with bill paying except for telephone bill. Every fricken time I hit the Pay Bill Now button my fricking computer froze up. So I had to restart computer. I did this 6 times. Finally I said to hell with it and called in the payment over the phone. But by doing that they charge an extra $3.75, unlike internet where I don't get charged, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. So, after that Rebecca and I go to my oldest daughter Emma's. I was gonna leave Rebecca there and go grocery shopping alone for some peace and quiet. Didn't happen!!! My adorable lil man says, "Mommom me go chopping too?" He can't say shopping, so he says chopping, lol. I say, No, honey. Mommom is going alone this time. He looks sad and walks up to me wrapping his little arms around me looks up with those big brown eyes and says, "Pweeeeeze, Mommom, me go chopping wid you? Did I give in? You bet I did, lol. I cannot say no to him and he knows this. So, Emma changed his diaper and I used her car because his carseat was already in it and off Daniel and I went. After shopping he says hungy Mommom. So we stopped at Burger King. He ate half of a hamburger and all of a size small french fries. I guess he was hungry, or is that hungy, lol. He drank all his apple juice too. I had my usual, Fish sandwich and unsweetened iced tea.

We arrived back at Emma's, and I took him into the hose along with his very own shopping bag which contained gold fish crackers and chocolate chip cookies. He hands his mommy his bag and says Look mommy cookies, fishies, lol. He was so happy. I then unloaded all 15 bags from Emmas car and put them in my van, collected Rebecca and we came home. I all of a sudden got hit with dizziness, shortness of breath, and pain so bad it felt like I was being stabbed all over my body and I was sweating so bad water was just pouring out of my pores. Rebecca knew something was wrong so this little girl helped me unload the van. She carried all but 3 bags up the 14 steps and into the kitchen. It took me over 5 minutes to climb the steps. I sat down on bottom step and walked up sitting on my butt. I knew if I tried to stand I'd probably pass out and fall. She helped put the food away, and fixed me a glass of iced cold diet pepsi and got herself a glass of Sunny D. I turned on both air conditioners and the ceiling fans and after a few minute's I felt better. It didn't help that it was so hot yesterday. I sat in rocking chair and I fell asleep. I woke up at 7pm. Jim wasn't home from work yet and Rebecca was on the computer. I fixed cheese burgers for supper. At 8pm I got Rebecca into bed. I relaxed at computer and guess what? Fell asleep again, lol. I woke up a few hours later and went to bed.

Well, 4:30 this morning my child wakes me up. She said she had a bad dream. And she would not go back to bed. So, I have been up since then. I had 4 cups of coffee, 20 oz bottle of diet pepsi and I am still tired. Ate a bowl of cheerios, still tired. I have a 2 liter bottle of Vanilla Cream soda, I am seriously thinking about drinking, cause maybe the sugar intake from it will give me some needed energy to tackle the task of cleaning my kitchen and washing 2 days worth of dirty dishes. I just haven't had the energy or ambition to do them. I need a dishwasher, lol.

Jim wants Spaghetti with sausage and meatballs for supper, so I have to put my sauce on and make the meatballs and throw them in the oven with the sausage to cook before adding them to sauce. I did manage to make the bed's after I got dressed this morning. Jim said he'll go to the laundry mat tomorrow morning and wash and dry the clothes.

How do I feel today? Tired, in pain, tired, naucious, tired, in pain, and did I say I was tired and in alot of pain? Mainly it's my back now giving me the pain. Right along right shoulder blade and under it. A nagging throbbing pain like a migrain headache. So, should I take a Darveset or a Percoset? And I think I will make a glass filled with ice and that vanilla cream soda, lol. There goes the diet today. I got on scale yesterday morning. I did lose a few pounds, but not enough to brag about. It's hard losing weight when your not healthy enough to walk, run, jog, excercise or go to the gym. It sucks, it really does.

We were told to expect strong to severe thunder storms late this afternoon and into tonight. That's fine with me because I'm not going out anywhere. I'm staying indoors, airconditioner's both on and try my best to get kitchen done and sauce cooking for dinner. I need to get Rebecca bathed before storms come, because I do not ever let her take a bath when it is storming, and I do not do dishes during a storm either.

I guess that is about it for now. There probably is more to write about, but right now I can't think, lol. Wonder why? LOL. Take care everyone, and I hope you have a wonderful day. Maybe I'll take pics of my messy kitchen before I clean it and after I clean it, lol. I usually don't let dishes pile up like that, but the past couple days I just didn't feel up to cleaning it up.

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

 

I need a nap

Here it is almost 4pm and I haven't done anything today except make the beds. I don't have the energy to get up and do anything else. I went to bed at 10pm last night and got up at 6am. Did I fall straight to sleep? Yes. Did I sleep straight through the night? HELL NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? Because my ever so loving daughter Rebecca found it necessary to wake her tired, hurting, mother up 3 times last night. 1pm, Mommy my foot itches. I tell her scratch it and go back to bed. 2pm, Mommy my foot itches again. I get out of bed come in livingroom with her following. She grabs lotion rubs on foot. I check foot, nothing is there. It's better now Mommy with lotion on it. Ok, back to bed again. 3pm, I hear her yelling loudly, MOMMY!!!!!!!! I jump up run to her bed, she isn't there. I find her in bathroom sitting on toilet. I ask her why did you yell so loud and wake me up and scare me like that? She says I need you to wipe my butt, I went poopy. At 3am??? Got her wiped, back into bed. By this time I am dragging and go back to bed. 6am comes and she is wide awake, saying Mommy it's daylight you can get up now, grrrrrrrrrrrrr. I climb out of bed, make coffee, get diet pepsi, go in livingroom grab remotes, turn on satelite box and tv, and she has the nerve to ask me for cartoons. I growled at her and she ran in bedroom. She told her daddy I roared like a lion at her and it scared her, lol. Oh and no cartoons were turned on until I watched the news, lol. My back is throbbing right along with my head and shoulder, my eyes are bloodshot and burning from lack of sleep and she had the nerve to ask me if we can go for a walk, lol. Nope, no way. I wouldn't make it down the ramp. So instead she has been watching DVD's. So far she has watched Scrooge, Nutcracker and now is watching Happy Feet.

I found the phone number to call to find out where to register and when to register Rebecca for Kindergarten this year. And Kindergarten doesn't start until mid September? What happened to the day after Labor Day? I am so looking forward to her going to school. I can keep the house clean, take a nap, lol, work in journals, take a nap. Did I mention I can take a nap when she goes to school? LOL

Well, yesterday even though I was worn out from all that cooking the day before, I managed to clean livingroom, kitchen and bedroom. Made dinner, bathed Rebecca and got her in bed at 8pm. Sat down at computer and read I think 2 journals. Played in Pogo a bit, and off to bed I went at 10pm. I was so tired I couldn't see straight.

Tonight I think I'll go to bed early again. My body hurts, bones hurt, muscles hurt, you name it and it hurts. Maybe the lack of sleep I get on a daily basis is catching up on me. I don't even have the energy to walk down the steps and out to the porch to bring in the mail. Jim will be home in about 45 minutes. Maybe I'll lay on couch and rest til he gets home. Rebecca just put in a Betty Boop DVD, so she'll be ok til Jim gets home.

I guess that is about it for now. Hope everyone is having a nice day.

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

Anniversary Dinner

  One year ago today Emma and Dan exchanged their vows and became husband and wife. It was a very happy day for me, the day they were married. I knew my daughter was making the right choice in chosing Dan to spend her life with. He is a good man. A hard worker, wonderful father, loving husband, caring, devoted to Emma and the kids. I could not ask for a better son in law. He makes my daughter happy. He works as many hours as he is allowed, and his hand is up first when the opportunity for over time is announced. He pays the bills, provides a home, clothes and food for his wife and family. And is always there willing to have family time with Emma and the kids. There was a brief time last year when I thought their relationship was over and it broke my heart. I prayed and I prayed things would change for them and they both would realize all the goodness and love they could share together if they worked things out between them. My prayers were answered on July 24, 2006. So today I wish two people whom I love very much, a very Happy Anniversary. Emma and Dan I love you both dearly and I wish you a long and happy life together.

So, yesterday I had them over for dinner. It was Jim and Rebecca and I, Joe, Dan's brother Bill, Dan and Emma, Marissa and Daniel, Dan's nephew Vince and his girlfriend Stephanie and their baby Vince Jr. I know your thinking, what did she cook, lol. Well, I can tell you I was a cooking fool, lol. I made 20 homemade 6inch stromboli's. Three different kinds. The first was an italian stromboli, full of pepperoni, genoa salami, imported ham, provolone and mozzerella cheese rolled up into pizza dough. The second was sweet italian sausage with peppers and onions, provolone and mozzerella cheese, rolled in pizza dough. The third was steak, peppers and onions, provolone and mozzerella cheese rolled in pizza dough. I also made a pot of the Soprano's tomato sauce for dipping the stromboli's in. There was a big salad and hotdogs for the kids. Everyone enjoyed their dinner and I gave Emma some to take home. I have 2 left which I saved for a very special friend. He is Poppop Bill. I think Emma and Dan will be seeing him this upcoming weekend, so I will give the stromboli's to them to take to him.

It was a nice evening. I enjoyed having everyone over and watching them eat and enjoying the food I prepared. Watching the kids run around playing and hearing them laugh. And holding that precious little baby Vince Jr, felt so good. I love babies, their smell, tiny hands and feet, watching them smile as they sleep in your arms. There's nothing better than that.

By the time everyone left it was 9:30pm. Rebecca was totally worn out and was practically begging to go to bed. She is usually in bed by 8pm. She quickly brushed her teeth, went potty, gave her daddy a hug and kiss goodnight and climbed into her bed, said a quick prayer to her dream catcher she keeps on her bed, and within minutes she was fast asleep. Jim was asleep by 10:15. I stayed up a little longer, chatted on im with my sis in law to be Nancy, readding a couple journals then off to bed I went. I was totally worn out. My body hurt so bad, especially my arms and lower back. All the dough preparations for the stromboli's caused that I suppose. Making them is long hard work, but so worth it, lol. I remember laying my head on the pillow and pulling the covers on me and that's it. Lights out!!! Usually I lay there a while waiting for the sandman but not last night. I fell right into the land of sleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

I awakened at 6am this morning. I got up out of bed and OUCH!!!!!!!!!! Man, did I have lower back and leg pains. It felt like a million and one knives being stuck into my legs and back. I slowly made it to the bathroom, splashed some cool water on face, used the potty, then made my way to the kitchen and put on the coffee. Poured myself a glass of diet pepsi, and walked, still slowly to the livingroom and put on channel 3 news. Had me a cup of coffee when it was done brewing, then fixed Jim's lunch for work today. I made him 2 chicken salad sandwiches, pickles and chips. He was happy.

Today, I have so much housework to do. This place is trashed. The kids did a good job of trashing the bedroom. Again they took out my clothes from my dresser cabinet and threw them on floor. They like to get in the cabinet and sit, grrrrrrrrrr. So, now my clothes are thrown around on floor and on top of my dresser and have to be folded and put away again. Toys need to be organized and put away. And dishes, my gosh I have alot of dishes to do, mostly big bowls and baking sheets. We ate off of paper plates, wooohooooo.

Well that's about it for now. I guess I'll go fix breakfast then get dressed and start my day. I hope everyone is well and has a great day today,

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

Happy Birthday Angie

    Someone very special to me will be celebrating her birthday tomorrow. Her name is Angie. Also known as canyonsun04 and the founder of The Giving Tree.

34 yrs ago tomorrow a special little girl was born. That little girl grew up to be a beautiful woman. She is a loving wife, a terrific mother to 3 very handsome sons, and a dear friend to so many.

In my household Angie is known as an angel sent from heaven. During hard times last year after my husbands job was lost, and we had no idea how we were going to feed our child and give her a christmas, Angie out of the goodness of her heart reached in her pocket and cabinets and helped us tremendously. For that we will be forever greatful. The smile she put on my little girls face christmas morning was priceless. A total stranger, someone I never met provided so much for us. Angie is truely an awesome lady, and we love her dearly. This world we live in is blessed having her as a part of it, and my family and I are blessed in having her in our lives. My dream in the near future is to get together with Angie. I would love to get a big home with extra space and have Angie and her family come visit like on a vacation. That would be so awesome.

So Angie, my adopted jland lil sis, I wish you a very Happy Birthday. I hope your day tomorrow is full of love, fun and happiness. And I hope you win lots of $$$$ while out on the River Boat Casino tomorrow.

I love you Angie/lil sis.

THEN AMNIO FLUID STARTED LEAKING. SHE CHANGED HER CLOTHES QUITE A FEW TIMES, DUE TO LEAKING. SHE CALLED HER OB/GYN AND TOLD HIM WHAT IS GOING ON AND HE SAID GO TO HOSPITAL. HE WILL MEET HER THERE. EMMA CALLED DAN AT WORK AND SAID GET HOME NOW.

DAN STOPPED HERE AND GOT MY CELLPHONE, CAMERA, SOME CASH AND I GAVE HIM MY VISA CARD, SO HE CAN EAT IF HE'LL BE THERE LATE. I GAVE HIM MY CAMERA JUST IN CASE THE BABY WAS TAKEN BY C-SECTION TODAY.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR PRAYERS. IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME KNOWING MY DAUGHTER HAS SO MANY PEOPLE PRAYING FOR HER. SHE TOLD ME, MOM PUT ME AND THE BABY IN YOUR JOURNAL AND ASK FOR PRAYERS FOR US, SO THAT'S WHAT I DID. SO THANK YOU EVERYONE.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM A NERVOUS WRECK RIGHT NOW. I HAVE SO MUCH I SHOULD BE DOING AND CAN'T GET MYSELF MOTIVATED TO DO ANY OF IT. THE SKY IS STARTING TO GET DARK WHICH MEANS THE STORMS ARE COMING SOON.

MOST OF YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS, BUT IN 1998 MY FIRST GRANDCHILD WAS BORN, MICHAEL JOSEPH. 2 DAYS BEFORE HIS BIRTH, HE WAS FINE.

I TOLD GOD LET HIM BREATHE AND TAKE ME INSTEAD, BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I CARRIED MY DAUGHTERS SON INTO HER ROOM AND PLACED HER DEAD BABY BOY IN HER ARMS. ALL SHE KEPT SAYING IS, MOM MAKE HIM BREATHE, MAKE HIM BREATHE, AND I FELT I LET HER DOWN. IT WAS LITERALLY RIPPING MY HEART APART KNOWING THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I FELT LIKE I HAD FAILED HER AS A MOTHER. SO NOW EACH TIME SHE IS PREGNANT, I AM SCARED TO DEATH. AND I DO A WHOLE LOT OF PRAYING.

THIS BABY SHE IS CARRYING NOW IS ALREADY SO VERY LOVED. I KNOW EMMA IS A NERVOUS WRECK ALSO. SHE IS WORRIED TOO. BUT SHE HAS A GOOD DOCTOR, IS AT A VERY GOOD HOSPITAL, AND HAS SO MANY PEOPLE PRAYING FOR HER.

Rebecca's Artwork

Good Morning!!!! Well, yesterday was a nice day. I sat and watched my child create what she called her masserpiece, lol. Yes, I know it is spelled wrong, but when your missing your front teeth like she is, that's how it comes out sounding, lol. She had a great time doing it her way. One bottle at a time wasn't fast enough she said, so since she has 2 hands, she used 2 bottles at a time, lol. I wasn't allowed to help she said, I had to just watch her, lol. She is such a mess at this. Let me just say I had to mop the floor again, wipe off the window, bleach my table top, and wash my childs arms and legs down with bleach water. Because this dye would not come off with just soap and water. And guess what? We're gonna do this again today, lol. Daddy gave her a white T-shirt of his so she can make him a tye dye shirt.

Well, today they say to expect some really nasty storms, so I decided to put off my shopping until tomorrow morning. I'll be cutting myself short with time, but I'll go shopping right after I drop Jim off at work at 8am. Then come home and get things put away and started. I'm going to make 3 types of stromboli's. Italian, steak and peppers and onions, and sausage and peppers. And I have to make the cake. Emma and Dan don't know I am making them a nice cake. It's a surprise. It'll be from scratch using the cake flour. I'm thinking marble cake and a butter cream iciing.

Shhhhhhhhhh, Poppop Bill. I know your reading this, lol. Don't let Emma and Dan know about the cake and I'll send some with them for you along with a stromboli, lol.

Today I have plans on organizing the bedroom. It is a disaster!!!!!!! How can 1 child make such a huge mess? Oh wait. I forgot it's my child, Hurricane Rebecca, lol. I just remembered I have to call the Board of Education today also and see when I can go get her registered for school in September. Yippeeeeeee, she goes to school this year. I can't wait. Is it September yet? LOL. No really, I think going to school is going to be good for her. She'll have kids her own age to talk too, instead of being home 24/7 with just Mom. I also need to find out if uniforms are to be worn or just regular clothes. Mostly all the schools here in Philadelphia are wearing uniforms now, even the public schools.

I guess I had better go and get breakfast made, then get my work done. I have a very special entry to make later today since I'll be busy tomorrow. Our very own Angie, CanyonSun04 and founder of The Giving Tree is celebrating her 34th birthday tomorrow.

Take care all and have a great day!!!!!!!!!!

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

Hello My Friends

I am feeling a little better, not much but a little. I have 4 days left of antibiotics to take. Hopefully by then I'll be 100%. Ok, so what is wrong? A severe infection in gums, ear and side of head into neck. Same side I had the cancer removed. It swelled so bad, I couldn't wear my glasses. The infection came from the 4 teeth yet to be pulled. Since I have no nerves there in my neck due to surgery, and can feel no pain on right side of face I did not know I had an infection until alot later. Since your brain is the hottest area of your body, due to heat rises, and an infection travels towards heat, well that's what happened. So, I have a 14 day supply of Zyvox 750mg, (I have generic brand) too long name to write lol. I take 1 twice a day. It is working. Swelling has gone down alot.

Since we no longer have dental insurance it is hard for me to get to the dentists again. I am researching different insurance companies to try to find an insurance we can afford. I could get insurance through husbands job, but if I do they'll take 160.00 a week out of his check just for the insurance, and we cannot afford to have that much taken. His last job only took 84.00 a week for insurance. And also, the insurance at Jims work, says they do not cover pre existing medical conditions. So, it wouldn't do me any good anyways. So, until I find better insurance that we can afford, I have to deal with what life hands me. The only pain I do feel is if I chew on the right side. So I avoid that area and chew on the left side where this is no teeth, lol. But everything I eat is cut small and is soft foods. Mainly I eat mashed potatoes, or pasta, or cold mellons such as cantalope or watermelon. And soup (creamed). Last night I made a big pot of Homemade Chicken and Dumplings (creamed) and I had no problem eatting it on left side. I also can eat Oatmeal or eggs with cheese. So, I'm not starving, so don't worry. Veggies are ok also, because after their cooked I can mash them. I'll be ok, don't worry.

The little boy Ayden is still not doing well. He has eatten a very small portion of 1 meal in the past week. The doctors are giving it another couple days, and if he doesn't eat, they'll be putting in a feeding tube. His fevers are anywhere from 101 to 104. His maternal grandmother has custody of him, because both his parents are drug addicts and are both in jail. He was at his paternal grandparents when he broke his arm in 2 places. This poor little guy has been through so much since birth. Please keep him in prayers. Also Linda Bradbury is having a test where they shock your heart. This is a dangerous test for her. Please keep her in prayer also.

I got yelled at by Nancy (my future sis in law). I told her about all the cleaning and scrubbing I did yesterday, and she yelled saying I do too much, even while I am not feeling well. But if I don't do it, it won't get done. Jim works all day, and I can't expect him to come home and clean too. I am taking it easy today. I will just make the beds, wipe down the bathroom and do the dishes. When I am done Rebecca and I are going to Tye Dye a couple shirts. That should be fun to do together, or will it, lol. I'll take before and after pictures, and show off our work or mess, lol.

I'm still in my pajamas, lol. I'll jump in shower real quick, get dressed and get started on the house work. Shouldn't take but about 30 minutes to get it all done.

Well, I finally got out all the invitations to the baby shower. I had 2 batches of them to mail. All total it cost me 100.00 just for invitations and the postage. Now all I need to worry about is seating and tables and decorations and food. Tomorrow I am going to The Party Store and getting decorations. It should be a nice shower, I hope. I want it to be nice, because it is Emmas last baby. She will be getting a tubal after the baby is delivered. I'm glad, she doesn't need anymore kids after this one.

Emma and Dan's 1 yr anniversary is coming up. I can't believe it's been a year already since they got married. I am so happy she has Dan in her life and married him. Her first husband was a real ass, and I hated him since the day she met him. But Dan, he is awesome. A hard worker, always willing to work over time at his job. He says Emma and the kids are the reason he gets up every morning for work, because he wants to make sure they have everything they need. I'll tell ya, he is a mother's dream of a son in law, and I'm really proud he is in our family. I'm having them over fordinner saturday. I am making Homemade Stromboli's. Dan didn't have any the last time I made them, so he'll be happy. I'll make about 9 of them this time, cause I know my son in law, he can eat. I am freezing one for them to take to Cape May. Their going to poppop Bill's for the weekend and I want to send one with them for him. I know he'll like that. I'll go shopping tomorrow for all the ingredients. And I want to bake them a cake. I have to go to Walmart also and get the 3 sizes in pans and cake separaters. It's gonna be a 3 tier wedding cake, beings the one I made when they got married was only a sheet cake. I spoil my family don't I? Yea, I do, but when I see how happy things I do for them makes them, then it is well worth the time and effort. And yes, there will be pictures, lol. I can't leave you guys out. I have my work cut out for me over the next few days, don't I?

Well, I'd better get this finished and posted so I can get busy. It's almost 2:pm. I hope all is well with you all. Take care and enjoy your day.

Love you all..................................

ME

Lots of prayers needed.

I need to ask a big big favor from everyone. I know a little boy named Ayden. He is my grand daughters cousin from her biological father's side of the family. Ayden is in ICU in the Philadelphia Children's Hospital. He fell and broke his arm in 2 places, and it somehow gave him a Staph infection in his blood. The doctor's are giving him a 50/50 chance. He is very weak. Could you please pray for him, and anyone who has a prayer chain or group please add Ayden to it.

Also my sis in law to be informed me tonight her Mom, Linda Bradbury has now got a Staph infection in her urine. Please pray for Linda also and add her to your prayer group's.

Thank you so much.

Love to all,

Cindy

This is something that is going to be so hard to do, because Maddies mommy and dadddy (LisaJo & Rick) love her so much. I am sitting here in tears over this, because I kow what it feels like to lose such a loving part of your family. Let's let LisaJo and her family know how much we love her.

God Bless...............................

Madador in Virginia

So, I'm talking with my sister Lucy this morning and she's telling me about the grass needing to be taken care of and this BULL her boyfriends boss gave them. Her boyfriend had the bright idea of putting his goats in the yard to eat the grass and the bull too. First he ties the littlest of the goats to a fence and lets the others in yard. Then he opens gate (like an idiot) and lets bull out. That's when the fun begins........not. This bull sees the little goat and starts heading towards it. My sister sees this and runs for the goat, grabs it up. The bull comes running towards her, she drops the goat and starts running for her boyfriend to help. He is running into house yelling get behind the bush. A Bush????????? This bull could charge right through this bush, but he didn't. Instead he runs around the bush and my sister Lucy starts running. She and the bull are running circles around this bush, lmao. I know it's scarey but it's also so damned funny. At this time her daughter Sharon pulls up with baby Jackie. Lucy is yelling as loud as she could to stay in car, the bull is out, and still running around the bush with bull chasing her. Her boyfriend finally comes back out of the house waving a red shirt in air trying to get the bull's attention, it works bull sees it and goes towards him, where by the grace of god he somehow got bull back into the fenced area and closed gate. Lucy could finally stop running around this bush and catch her breath, because by now she was hyperventilating. This short little old mexican boyfriend Jose' says, Oh you afraid of dis liddle bull? You should see bulls in Texas, they mucho grande. Lucy punched him, lol. The little goat is ok. Jose is fine, he can still go to work in morning, lmao. This bull they have has 9 inch horns, I'd run too!!!!!!!!!!! Lucy said she never knew a bull could run so fast, or that she could either, lol. I wonder if Jose' yelled Ole' when bull ran towards him while he was waving this red shirt, lol. I am sitting here cracking up writing this, cause I can picture him doing something as stupid as this. Thank god Lucy can run, lol, and thank god Sharon didn't come in back yard carrying baby with that bull lose. I think he should use lawn mower, it's safer, lol.

Joes Mom has decided to stay another week. She lives with her daughter, son in law and 2 grandson's. Their lives are so busy, she is home alone most of the time with no one to talk too or cook for. So Joe asked her if she'd like to stay another week and she said yes. I'm glad, I enjoy her company. Jim and I and Rebecca went to Columbus Market today. We took Joe and his Mom with us. We walked around indoors for a bit, then ventured out to the produce and seafood stands. Jim got 50 little neck clams to bring home and steam. I got a whole bunch of stuff from produce stands. Watermelon, cantalopes, lemons, apples, plums, cherries, raspberry's, jersey tomatoes, brocolli, asparagus, romaine lettuce, cucumbers. It was so hot. My van's air conditioning doesn't work, so by the time I got home I had to change my clothes, I was soaked with sweat. Took an ice cold shower too. I gave Emma half of what I got except for melon's, no one at her house eats them.

I didn't have to cook dinner tonight, wooooooohooooo. I did make a big salad for dinner. Joe cooked shrimp, crabcakes and steaks. It was delicious. And no cooking means no mess for me to clean up, lol. Emma sat down with us and had some salad and shrimp, before she left to go home.

Well, I guess that is about it for tonight. I have been up since 4:30 this morning and I am tired, so I will be heading to bed shortly. I hope you all had a great weekend and an even better week ahead.

Before I go I want to mention 2 people here in Jland that need prayer. LisaJo has a big decision to make about her very sick doggie Maddie. Please keep her and her and Maddie in your prayers. And also our Missie's brother is in a coma with pnuemonia and isn't doing very well. Please keep her brother and Missie in your prayers also.

Love to you all.........................

My Week

I can honestly say I am glad the week is over. I am worn out. So worn out I fell asleep today sitting on couch watching Judging Amy. I sat down at 1pm to watch it, remember looking at clock and it saying 1:10pm, next thing you know I wake up and it's 4:15pm. Nap didn't help much, cause I still feel worn out. But I wanted to get this entry made before I go to bed.

The past 3 days have left me drained. With cooking and cleaning for July 4th, then the next day taking Joes mother out shopping and to Emmas and then to the Red Robin diner for lunch, then home to clean and cook for dinner which Joe and his Mom joined us because it was leftovers from BBQ. And today Joes Mom felt like walking, so both of us with our canes and Rebecca we took a walk, 5 blocks up and 5 blocks back. Yes, I walked a total of 10 blocks and so did Joes Mom. 78 yrs old and this woman can go, lol. As for me, I was neer in my life so happy as to get home. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! I was hurting. Both my legs and lower back feel like one giant muscle cramp and are throbbing, stiff, tight feeling. My bed will feel good tonight for sure.

Well, let me explain some of the pics above. The little girl in the redshirt is my great-niece Kaylei. She is my sister Lucys first born grandchild. Kaylei is the sweetest most lovable little girl. She's always smiling and laughing and giving me hugs. I love this little girl very much. She spent a couple nights at Emma's to play with Marissa and Rebecca. I walked in Emma's door yesterday, Kaylei heard my voice and came running right to me. She almost leaped in my arms and give me the biggest hug and said, "Hi, Aunt Cindy", then kissed me on the cheek. I gave her a big hug also and kiss on her cheek. She then looked at my cane I use to walk with and asked me if I was ok, with a sad little worried face. I had to explain to her aunt cindy was ok, I just needed a little support when I walk. She seemed to be fine with that answer.

See that beautiful little baby boy I am holding? That is my son in law Dan's brand new great-nephew. His name is Vincent Mazzoli Jr. His Mommy Stephanie came over my house last night so I could see the baby. He was in her arms crying, but as soon as I took over holding him he shut right up, lol. He kept looking up at me smiling and cooing. His Mommy said he cries when everybody holds him, and she was shocked he was so good for me. I fell in love with this baby boy. He is a real sweetheart. I didn't want to give him back, lol.

My own grandson spent the day with me yesterday. We went to the diner and he was so good. He ate all his lunch and some of mine too, lol. After dinner at home, he climbed up on couch with Joe's Mom and snuggled next to her and fell asleep. Mommom I said that makes her feel so good when a child is snuggling against her and goes to sleep.

Mommom I isn't a relative of mine. She is the Mom of our good friend Joe. We have known Joe for over 20 years now. My kids and grandkids call him Uncle Joe and call his Mom, Mommom I out of respect for their elder's. But let me tell you Joe and his Mom couldn't be loved anymore then we already love them. We consider them both family. They are wonderful people, and we are very proud to have them in our lives. My husband Jim and Joe are close friends. Some people think they are brother's. I think they think that because they both have bald heads, lol.

Well, let's see. What are my plans for the weekend? I don't have any, lol. I am going to stay home, relax and sit here at my computer. I am going to go down the street to Dunkin Donuts in the morning because I promised Rebecca donuts for breakfast and chocolate milk. They have awesome banana nut bran muffins. I'll get me one of them, yummy. Jim will get his usual choice, 1 jelly donut and one boston creme donut.

I think my daughter Emma and her family have plans on going to Cape May, New Jersey on sunday. Their going to go visit Poppop Bill. Again the lil ones call him Poppop Bill out of respect and because they think he is their poppop too, lol. He is a man who loves kids and kids love him. We're very glad to have him also as part of our lives and family. He reads my journal, so I know he's reading this, lol. This message is for him, "Hey crazy man, how ya doing?" Love ya Bill.

Well, I guess that's about it for now. I think I covered everything for the last few days. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Good Morning

Been a while since I made an entry, so I thought I'd make an attempt this morning. I tried yesterday, but all my holiday graphics did not show up right, and gave me a whole lot of red x's. I really hate how aohell and photobucket have our journals all messed up. The other way worked just fine. The pictures above were taken about a week ago. I know, it took me long enough to post them right, lol. I have just been too busy. I have read journals though and been commenting. I was so far behind. Each morning I awakened to over 400 emails. I am sorry to say I had to delete alot of them, I just couldn't catch up. I'd get 1 journal read and commented and 6 more would pop up, lol. Since I started this entry, already 8 entries popped up.

I've been busy watching over Joe's Mom. She's been here since last week. I've had to babysit my grandkids. Go grocery shopping. And I cleaned everyroom in my apartment. I mean deep cleaned it. And man did it need it too. I spent a total of 7 hours just cleaning the kitchen and livingroom. Yesterday was a full day of cooking.

I made bbq chicken, burgers, hotdogs, macaroni salad, deviled eggs, sliced onions, lettuce and tomatoes for the burgers. Also made a grilled zucchini on the grill. It turned out great. For dessert it was sugar free strawberry shortcake. I bought a sugar free poundcake, fresh strawberries, and sugar free vanilla icecream. Joe's Mom is a diabetic, so I had to make sure she had a dessert she could eat also. I was so full after dinner and dessert.

Jim and Joe took Rebecca outside and set off firecrackers, and whistler's and sparklers for her when it got dark enough. That made Rebecca's night. I think it also made the guys night too. Two grown men acting like lil boys, lol. They were laughing up a storm.

Today is another busy day. I am taking Joes mother out shopping and then to lunch. We're going to Kmart, Walmart and then to the Red Robin Diner for lunch. She's going home either tonight or tomorrow, and I want to spend some more time with her before she leaves. Rebecca will miss her alot when she goes home. She loves her mommom I very much. They have talked, told jokes and stories, danced, played hide and seek together over the past week. Rebecca has had a great time and I think mommom I will be glad to get home and rest, lol. Oh and the 3 of us have also been taking walks. Mommom and I walking with our canes and Rebecca walking ahead of us, lol.

I hope everyone had a great day yesterday, full of good food, laughs, family and fireworks. Here on east coast it did rain, but most were able to see fireworks display despite the rain. My daughter Emma has told me after the baby is born, they are moving into a bigger house. So, Jim and I decided we are going to ask her landlord if we can rent the one she lives in now. It has 3 bedrooms, livingroom, kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, fenced yard and the rent is only 500.00 a month. The neighborhood is alot better then mine and so is the school. So keep your fingers crossed it works out for us, please.

I guess that's about it for now. It's 9am and I am getting hungry. I'm thinking a pepper and egg omelet on a whole wheat wrap. I love those things. So take care everyone, enjoy your day.

Love to you all..............................

What an honor.

 

I would like to thank Sugar for picking me as one of her 5 choices for the Rockin Girl Blogger award. It was such an honor to be chosen by her. If you have never read her journal, go to my side bar and click on her name. She is an awesome talented special lady who has traveled to many places, spreading love and wisdom.

According to the Rules of the Award, I'm to pass the Award on to 5 other "girls" whose blogs I read and enjoy. (Sorry to all you guys)  And they, in turn, pass it on to 5 girls blogs that they enjoy.

So here is just 5 of the many favorites of journals I love reading.

1. Angie also known as canyonsun04. This lady has the energy of a bear. She has so many things in her life that she juggles all at once, which include her canyonsun business, jewelry business, and raising her 3 very handsome sons. She also started the Giving Tree here in JLand.

2. LisaJo known as queeniemart. LisaJo is a hard working wife and mother. She holds a full time job, and is a great mom to her 2 kids. She is funny, honest, sincere, loving and a beautiful person inside and out.

3.Pam also known as lanurseprn. This lady is always taking us on an adventure in the pictures she takes of all the places she goes too. Pam is a nurse and takes extra special care of all her patients. She has a wonderful son, who I think looks just like her. She is always there to hold out a helping hand to those she loves.

4. Jeanne known as candlejmr. Jeanne and I met in her hometown recently. She is such a wonderful lady. This lady is full of energy. not only does she work out, care for her home, take her children to all their activities, but she also lends a hand at the Ronald McDonald house.

Lori is facing some hard times in her life right now, but with the love of god and the support she is getting from all you wonderfulJlanders I think she can handle anything handed to her.

There are so many many many more of you I enjoy reading, but I was only allowed 5. But please know each and everyone of you mean so much to me. I love you all dearly. Your all special in your own ways, and each time I read about your lives and your family I feel like I get to know you more and more.
