My hubby is a daddy????

Abigails new charge has decided that my hubby is her daddy and refuses to call him anything else! It is so cute when he gets home because she hits the floor running! Reminds me of long ago!!!!! She calls me "graw-ma" and no matter how often I tell her otherwise that doesn't change either. I always wanted a brown-eyed kiddo. I told Abigail to tell her I am Sherry but my daughter thinks it is cute!!! Oh, well. I have been called worse!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

I KNOW it's not CHRISTMAS but it is my favorite season of all. I like ALL things pumpkin and the other day I made some yummy FALL foods. My friend, Donna gave me her pumpkin roll recipe last year so I made that as well as pumpkin bread. I bought myself a new Yankee Candle. "Be Thankful" I like it!!!! "Home Sweet Home" is still my favorite but I could be talked into switching it up every now and then. HA! Who am I kidding???? If it is a spicy scent I like it! I think I like having kids with jobs..............the other morning I got up and hubby pointed out the Junior Mints on the table (I was wondering if it would be ok to snitch some) and they were all for me, from Jacob. Then another day he bought me yummy Japanese for lunch! So, I am a happy girl. Give me some candy and lunch as well as some other smelly good things to go along with FALL and I am perfectly content!

I want...........

I don't actually know what I want. I have been out of sorts and it is a real good thing my boss likes me. I called to tell the office I needed more journal papers and the gal said if she had known she could of sent them with the nurse and I told her maybe if I wasn't a 1 girl team someone else could of told her! My co-worker just walks out when I get here. It doesn't matter what she is doing and it grates on me. I FINISH my tasks first. Then yesterday I put my foot in my mouth in front of the preacher and his wife. I told Hubs that I wasn't looking for anymore places to live and if he wanted to move he could look because I gave up. He told me that God was going to give us what we needed. And stupid me, said that I thought so too when we were looking at the condo but it didn't happen. You could of heard a pin drop. I am not sure if I was embarrassed or not. As crazy as that sounds I don't know if I even care enough to be embarrassed about anything anymore. I have been talking to a friend and we are going through the same thing. We are tired I think. Can't wait to have some extra time off!

It's all good...........

mostly anyway! I had a great day off with the kids. Too bad hubby had to work. :( We went shopping and I got some awesome deals! Always a plus. I started the day bummed because my client wasn't home yet. When Abigail and I were getting out of the van I said, "make sure that door locks, Ethel!" Then I told her it would be funny if I called her that in the store and she wanted me to. But she said I couldn't laugh. So I did try it. At one point she said that Papa Brunson called her, "Molly Jenkins" but she didn't know how he got that out of Ethel. She was calling me Margaret. She did a very crazy thing at one point and I was like, "ABIGAIL!!!!" There was a lady there and she started laughing and said it was the first time she had laughed all day, that maybe God knew she needed it! When we got home one of the times, there was a van parked in the street and I had to go around it which wasn't a problem because there was plenty of room but there is a mentally challenged gal that lives there and she started painting the air blue because I had to go around. I was so mortified. She definitely has a potty mouth!!!!!!!!!! Loving life right now!!!!

My boys........

I made a quick trip to Indiana to get Jacob and was very proud to realize that if necessary I could of gotten there all by my myself!!!!!!!!!! I took a table to Jonathon which cracked me up because when I got it from someones trash I asked Hubs if he wanted the games that were on top of it and he said, "No, I don't even want the table but would you please hurry before someone sees us?" Well, BOO-YAH! That table served as a stand for Abigails "pigs" and now graces my sons first apt!
When I got there he was still in bed because apparently once they get off work they stay up until 5 or 6 A.M. Anyway, I told Jacob to ask him if he wanted me to come upstairs or if he was going to come down. Of course he wanted me to come up. I must admit when I saw him all sleepy-eyed my mother heart melted. Even though time has turned his white hair brown and he has strecthed out to be taller than me I can still see traces of my little boy. The one that would bring me his raggedy, "beeawit" and climb on my lap and say, "wocky baby" when he was tired. I love life now and wouldn't trade it but those were good days. Gone are the MOMMY days but I can live with MOM! I love you, my guys and my gal!!!!

:( I can't even find the words to say it...........

The last few days have been hard ones. My client ended up in the hospital. I thought it would be a matter of giving her some fluids and sending her home but that didn't turn out the way I thought. They are looking at deeper issues. I have been told so many times not to get attached but I do.....I guess this is me and what I am. Seems so odd to be here in her home without her. She tells me I have made her world a better, brighter place just by being in it and I guess I have but she has done the same for me. I have been here for nearly 2 years. It is so quiet. I haven't been alone since I was a teenager and quite frankly, I don't like it. Abigail came the other night and stayed with me but neither of us slept much because the dog was so upset. Hubs would of brought her tonight but she starts a baby sitting job tomorrow and I go get my adorable son, Jacob. He has been staying with Jonathon for a couple of days. HOW ON EARTH did I ever get old enough to have kids old enough to have apartments and pay bills and other kids that go visit them??????
Not to be bragging but I was so happy that my clients daughter wanted me to come to keep them company! She told me that I am one of the best caregivers ever....it made my day because I have been down on myself lately! I know this is a random, rambling post but my thoughts are scattered lately!

Talkin' 'bout MY girl............

Abs, you are amazing!!!!!! I was thinking earlier today about an embellishment that I have about daughters, "when I look at you, I see me, only better." That is so true of the 2 of us. In so many ways, on so many levels we are alike but you are far stronger and out going than I was at 16. I would just accept whatever was said to me and you don't do that. If it isn't true you have no trouble saying so. It also dawned on me that you and I have NEVER danced in the rain...I wonder why not. I used to take your brothers out and do that alot when they were little. We must make a date for the next time it rains!

SOCKS!

I LOVE socks.........the wackier the better. I really like the newest pair from Seth R Doodle. I am close, ever so close to 100 pair!
