A Thank you and more.........

  Now that the babyshower is over, I'm feeling kind of lost. I have been sitting here for over 2 hours trying to make an entry and just couldn't. It's been raining here in Philadelphia for 2 days, and they say it's going to continue for at least another 24 hours. Jim and Rebecca are asleep for the night. It's 68 degree's in my apartment, and I love it. I won't need the airconditioner tonight, but I do need my fan. I cannot sleep unless cool air is blowing in my face and I hear the hum of the fan, it's my loliby, lol.

I was sitting here and it dawned on me, I have 24 days to plan Rebecca's birthday party. My baby is going to be 6 years old. Where has all the time gone? Another year older and going to school this year? Time just goes by too fast. Rebecca wants a princess party. A princess costume to wear, a cake that looks like a castle, balloons, streamers, and a pinata. I know I spelled that wrong, lol. And she asked for Pin the tail on the donkey game, lol. On Rebecca's birthday, my other daughter will most likely be in hospital having her babygirl. So, Emma asked me to plan the party after she gets home with the baby. That I can do, because I want Rebecca's big sister to be there. Why do I feel so old tonight, lol.

Yesterday my great niece Kaylei gave me a big hug and told me I looked lovely. My eyes filled with tears and I gave her a hug and kiss and thanked her so much for making me feel so good with that compliment. She is just the sweetest lil girl, and I love her so much. Remember the baby I wrote about (my great nephew Eden) who was born addicted to heroine? He is home now and doing great. Kaylei gets to see him once in a while. The last time was on July 14th. Here is a pic of Kaylei and Eden taken then. They are so cute together.

 Eden has gotten so big from the last picture I seen of him. I have not seen him in person yet. My nephew and his girlfriend seem to think they are too good for the family. But yet when they need money who do they call? Me, or my daughter Emma. Kaylei's Mom Katie wants to go to virginia to visit my sister Lucy so she can see her granddaughter Kaylei. I told her if she goes, I would like to go also. We'll share expenses on the trip. I'll take Rebecca with me and my camera, lol. It'll be nice to see my sister, nieces and nephews and all their children, who I have not seen. I want to go visit my niece Sandy's son Christopher also. Remember she is my niece who died 12 days after giving birth to her son Christopher.

I am watching the news right now and Hurricane Dean has now been classed as a category 5 hurricane. That is not good at all. This storm has claimed 12 lives already. They say it is heading to mexico, but could turn into texas. I pray it does not take anymore lives.

Well, I am tired. I am going to take my tired body to bed now. Lay my head on my pillows, turn on my fan and go off to dreamland. I'll need a good nights sleep for tomorrow. I have let my housework go and now I am surrounded in filth, I also have to get ahold of board of education because this school isn't done being rebuilt yet and I don't know when their doing school registration or where.

Good night, sweet dreams and hope tomorrow is a good one for you all.

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