Today's Happenings

Good Morning. Hope everyone here in Jland slept well. Myself, I slept pretty well last night. I have figured out why I haven't been sleeping well. It was the diet Pepsi. Even though it was sugar free, it still has caffeine in it. So, at 7pm, there is no more pepsi for me. I drink iced water with a couple drops of lemon juice in it. And now by 10:30 I am ready for bed. Once I fall asleep I'm out for the night, yippeeeeeee. Jim said he's noticed my tossing and turning has slowed down alot. I don't drink diet pepsi all day either. For each pepsi I have, I drink a bottle of water afterwards. I didn't make it to my doctor's appt saturday. Jim got called on an emergency job from work, and he needed the van to meet his co-worker at the job, so I had to cancel my appointment.  Here he is at that job on saturday. One of these big trucks needed a windshield, and it takes 2 guys to install windshields in these trucks. He took this picture with his cellphone, and emailed it to me so Rebecca knew what her daddy was doing that day.

AOHELL is at it again. Last night it took me an hour to get pics in that entry I wrote. When it finally let me, I was so frustrated. This morning there's no pictures. So I restarted my computer and the pictures came back. This morning I'm having more problems. Every tag I have that says Good Morning will not show up on this entry. So, I found this lemonade tag, beings I made Jim a jug of iced lemonade to take to work today. I put 5 trays of iced cubes in it, so it stays cold in his thermal jug. I packed him some sandwiches and gave him a piece of fruit, a plum. So, he's happy.

Guess who went for a car ride this morning to take Jim to work? Yep, Honky came along, lol. This morning when Rebecca got up, she came into livingroom carrying Honky and said Good Morning Mommy and Daddy. We said Good Morning Rebecca. She then says, Well, Say good morning to Honky too. So we said good morning Honky, lol. And he honked his good mornings to us, lol. I swear that bird is gonna drive me nutso, lol. She runs around all day honking it's butt.

My camera is all set and ready to get the video of Daniel singing today. I deleted all but 15 pictures. It holds 400 pictures. I put fresh batteries in it, and I have an extra set of batteries in my purse. Jim says the memory cards are only 20 bucks for my camera, so I'm gonna get a couple more to have just in case I ever need them. Which going to Emma's and taking pics of the kids is a definate thing with me. They grow up so fast, I don't want to miss a thing.

When Emma goes to hospital for her c-section next month, I'm going with her. I won't be in the delivery room, because Dan will be in there with her. But I'll have my camera ready for when I see my granddaughter for the first time. I'll be a picture taking fool for sure. I can't believe she'll be here next month. I am so excited. Oh yea before I forget, the baby's name has changed again. Now it is Adrianna Niccole. I'm still trying to talk them into Angelina Marie, lol. I haven't given up hope yet. The day she has her baby, I will be posting pics of her for you all to see. Be prepared, there will probably be over a hundred of them, lol. I can't believe it. I'll have 3 grandbabies and I am only 46 with a 5yr old child of my own. Oh well, it's ok though, because being a grandmom is the best feeling. All those lil one's saying I love you Mommom just melt's my heart.

LisaJo you didn't miss an entry about Rebecca's haircut. I never posted one. But here's why her hair is cut now. Weeks ago I trimmed her hair and layered it so it didn't not up as much. Then one night my granddaughter spent the night. Marissa and Rebecca were in the bedroom playing and it got quiet. Hmmmm in this house if a child gets quiet, their either sleeping or into something. Well, they weren't sleeping, it was too early for bed. So, I get up go check on them and what did I find. Rebecca with a new haircut, lol. There was chunks taken out of her hair. It looked horrible. I was so mad. Rebecca went into the kitchen closet and got my scissors and they had a good ol time with them. I could not fix her hair, it would take someone who was really trained in cosmetology to fix her hair. So Emma came over and took her lil sister and my credit card to Hollywood Hair Salon. And a girl there fixed Rebecca's hair. She said to bring Rebecca back in 6 weeks, so she can trim it one more time to even it out better, then after that let it grow in and just trim the ends once every couple month's if it needs it. I am so grateful she was able to fix Rebecca's hair. I didn't want her going to school with chunky hair lol. I think she looks cute with her short haircut, but her daddy wants it long again. He says she looks older with short hair and he wants her to stay his lil girl. He said he misses her pony tails.

I know Angie put this donation on her Giving Tree site for me a while back, but maybe some of you don't get that alert. So, I am going to put it on here also. I have a bag of baby clothes for a boy. Onesies, sleepers, shirts and pants. If you or anyone you know is in need of them please let Angie or I know. You can email either one of us. Canyonsun04@aol.com  or me at Emabecmar@aol.com

These clothes are in very good condition. Most are brand new and have never been worn. I don't want to donate them to thrift store's because our thrift stores are expensive to buy anything at now since they remodeled the stores. I would rather mail them to someone who can use them.

Ok, my oldest child has just called me to see what I am doing today. I told her I was writing an entry in my journal, then I would be leaving to come to her house when I finished. She told me hurry up, lol. So, I better cut this book short, lol and head on over there. It's going to be dangerously hot today here on the east coast. So please, if you go out in this heat, dress in light colored clothes and take water with you. And if it isn't an emergency that takes you out, then stay indoors with your A/C on. We're going to load the kids with sunblock and let them play in the pool for a bit before it gets too hot. There saying 99 or higher today. Take care and have a wonderful day.

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