My Grandparents

Me, my Grandma and 2 sisters. I am in the tacky blue suit!

Grandpa holding Kyle (my bro) and Joseph (Nephew).

My Grandparents, Maggie and Jesse Joyce Weaver.

Grandma loved to dance and sing.

Grandpa loved to garden.

He could always beat me in checkers.

They bickered a lot but they loved each other.

The loved us grand kids and had us over every other weekend, or more.

They had a tiny house but it was filled with love.

Grandma didn't believe in drying clothes in the dryer.

We always had to help her hang clothes on the line.

She taught us to cook and loved to make us happy with food. (hmm...why am I fat? LOL!)

Grandpa loved to take us fishing with cane poles.

I sure miss them a lot.

Things can change very quickly

I talked to a friend today on Facebook who told me they are losing their home. She works in real estate and her husband drives a truck for a lumber supply company.

They are moving into an RV at her pastor's house.
I tried to encourage her tell her I am praying for her.

The thing is, when my job goes away, I am GOING to have to find a job really soon.
Or we will be in the same boat.

If I get a severance and if I find a job very soon, we will be fine and I can pay off my car.
All I can do is pray about it and hope that things work out.

But just like my friend said, "As long as we are together, it will be okay."

Still, it is scary!

Ch ch changes

I am conciously making changes in my marriage. I am not jumping down my husband's throat every time he says or does something I disagree with. I am thinking before I speak... and I am not yelling everytime I get angry.

Don't get me wrong, I am not perfect, and I do still get mad and raise my voice, but I think more about what I want to say before I just say it.

My husband is trying harder too and I tell him what I need instead of staying pissed because he doesn't KNOW what I need him to do. When I ask him, he does the things I need him to do.

I am trying to be more intimate. I try to hug and kiss my husband more. I text him throughout the day just to let him know I love him. I drive home with a smile on my face, ready to see him. I feel a sense of calmness that I have not felt in a long time.

I feel happy.

Once I hated her

There is a girl at work named Stephanie.
At one point and time I really loathed her.
She came to work here a couple of years ago.
She was a know-it-all.
She made no qualms about getting in close with the boss.
Kissing her ass.

They went on several business trips together.

At one point and time, Stephanie and I got into it.
I yelled at her and she yelled back.
We didn't really speak unless it was absolutely necessary after that.

Over the holidays, we had to work on the same customer support site.
And we started actually getting along.
She has a teen daughter and so do I.

She has talked openly about being gay.
Last week, she and I were talking about the Twilight series.
She just started reading the books.
She commented that she wished she could have a love like Edward and Bella and how she gets lonely.
I told her that everybody should have that.
She told me about her first relationship with a woman, up until then, she had only dated men.
And she told me how this woman broke her heart.

I felt really sad for her.
I know what it is like to be heartbroken. Been there, done that.
I told her my sister in law is gay and at first how nobody believed it.
But it really didn't matter to me. I think my Mother In Law really had a difficult time.
Stephanie told me her own mother was in denial and asked when she would get out of that phase.

I hope she finds someone, we do all deserve to be loved.

Texting is fun

Yes, I have finally started texting. I am lame and slow.
But I am sort of having fun with it.
I sent my husband a sexy text today.
He was driving and had to pull over!

LOL.

Get a grip

What is wrong with people?? This one chic who reads my other blogs, and is my friend on facebook can be such a beyotch.

Don't put your New Year's Resolution as "I want to be more Christ like" and then make ugly comments all the time on people's profiles.

PULEEZE just be nice or say nothing at all.

This is the same person who claims she "can't work" because her son is autistic, well hell, so is mine and I work every day.

While I believe we all are entitled to our opinions, you can state your opinion without being such a bitch all of the time. DAMN.

Do certain's peoples claws just always have to come out??

OM to the G

So I text Hubby through the day and that way if he makes me mad, nobody has to know.
He told me earlier he "didn't think about it" but he needs gas in his truck.
DUDE, he carried around the debit card for 4 days.

How in the hell do you FORGET to get gas?
WTF?
