It's been another crazy week

We have been really busy at work and I am still having trouble with my keyboard. Loads of FUN. The most troubling of all was Thursday when I was looking forward to my day off, Sue called to let us know Calvin was having chest pain since midnight. By 3:00 they were not any better so we call the ambulance and spent the next 6 hours in the ER. They decided to admit him for observation but had decided it was not a heart attack but pluracy pain. That is why it hurt so much to breathe deep and later hurt to breath at all. Well he is still in the hospital but feeling better now. I ended up going back to work Friday just for a rest but things were crazy as usual. We are starting a new program at work about you place an order on line - we pull the order - then you pick it up the day you order it. Fine but no one has showed me about the gimami to handle all the orders and we have yet to make sure what our inventory says we have is what we have on the floor. Anyone in sales knows what a nightmare that is, so needless to say Friday was a nightmare. But I still had Saturday to be off and rest, wrong again one of my co-workers had a death in her family so she asked if I could cover for her just til the night girl came in at noon. No problem, til the morning guy in electronics called in and so did the night girl in the photo lab. Management saw I was already scheduled for 40 hours this week so Saturday would be all overtime which is not allowed at Wal-Mart so I was sent home at 1:30 and I have 6 & 1/2 hours to work off by Friday. Long lunches all week. Anyway that is how my week has gone. I work a 9 - 6 shift tomorrow and hope the girl that called in today will be there tomorrow so she can work 12 - 9.

HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY. AND A SPECIAL DOUBLE THANKS TO ALL OUR VETS, I am sorry most people think of you only on Memorial Day and Veterans Day, YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS EVERYDAY. Thanks to you I AM FREE TO LIVE THE GREAT LIFE WE HAVE IN AMERICA. THANKS AGAIN !!!!

It has been a fast week but all is well

I am still having trouble with my phone and posting but just to let you know we are over the wreck, had to turn in the 2011 Silverraudo Pick-Up after we put 1215 miles and $256.00 in gas in it (sure had a lot of FUN) and the insurance paid for it all. We are still waiting on the hospital and ambulance payment, do not see any trouble though. HOPE YOU ARE GETTING READY FOR A GOOD SUMMER AND MAKE IT A GREAT WEEKEND. WILL POST WHEN I CAN. I am at the library now and Jerry is in the old pick-up so guess I had better go. LOVE TO YOU ALL !!!!!

HOPE I GERT TO GO PLAY CARDS TONIGHT, it has been a wile since I could play cards and I need a GIRL'S NIGHT OUT !!  Ha Ha.

Thanks Everyone for your prayers

Thanks so much for everyones prayers, the funeral was this morning and there were no confrintations and everyone got along OK. Thank you Lord for your help.

Most of all thanks for a close family. I hope I can have the right words to pull Jerry's family together.

See if my phone is working better

I have a keyboard now so I can post but it is not like I had before and it is so hard to post to my blog. I am glaad I can at least do this much, I really need your prayers the next two days. Jerry's brother died Monday and the funeral is tomorrow. Sorry to say there is a LOT of hurt feelings and bad blood in his family and it looks like everyone is coming to the funeral. I have never seen a family like this one. Maybe God can use this to pull some of them together amd even learn how good it is to have GOD on your side. Please just keep us in your prayers the next two days.
LORD PLEASE KEEP MY EYES AND EARS OPEN SO I A BE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE FOR YOU AT THIS TIME. AND THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR MY FAMILY I HAVE.

I have been trying all day to get a key board up so I could post and now that I have one it is back to like it was when II first got my phone..

Sorry about the end of that last post

I am so tired i am going to sleep as i type on my phone so i am goimg on to bed. Will try to straighten out this mess in the morning. Moral of this post  I had a GREAT WEEKEND AND HOPE YOU DID TOO !!!

I hope everyone had a Super Great Momma Day

My weekend has been so WONDERFUL. We took a Road Trip Saturday to Groom Texas to see the Cross they have there. I have heard about it since they started building it and have seen going down I-40 but this is the first time we have stopped to see what everyone is talking about. IT IS BEYOND INCREDABLE, I have never seen anything like it, but then I do not get away from the Panhandle that much. (Jerry and I have had 1 vacation in 23 years of marriage and that was to listen to a sales pitch to buy some time share property, oh well it got us out of town for 3 days). Back to the Cross at Groom. It is so big and tall you can see it from I-40 but when you get to it up close it is so tall it is unreal. Around the base there are 14 stations with scriptures and bronze statues. They all just really tug at your heart. then to the west is tut Lords Supper and behind that are the three crosses. To the South is the empty tomb with the stone rolled away and the angel inside. THAT PART WAS WORTH THE TRIP. To the Left was a small building that looked like it might be offices but when I looked closer I realized it was an exact replica of the Shroud of Turin. It is one thing to read about it and see pictures but to actually see it and be in the room with it,is beyond words. I ready wish I could have stayed in there longer, they have chairs in there so you can rest and watch a DVD playing on information on the Shroud. I wish Jerry wasn't getting tired so I could have stayed and listened to their information. On to the East side to the Fountain with Jesus and the scriptures about the Living Water. On around to the right there was total see of the Ten Commandments. The next and last station got me the most. You could tell it was a sculpture of Jesus holding something in his hand and what looked like a grave marker.that read " Dedicated to the Sanctity of LIFE - In loving Memory of the - Innocent Victims of ABORTION - Before I formed you in the womb I KNEW YOU. Jeremiah 1:5 " and that object in Jesus's hand is a very small fetus. My heart broke right there. I have often wondered what those idiots who encourage or help with abortions are going to tell God at the Judgment Thrown. I would not want to be in their shoes. All in all that trip was well worth the time and a BEAUTIFUL DAY.

On Sunday I was really bumbed out cause I put in 6 months ago to be off on Momma Day and was turned down. Look bosses I'm the only Mom in the Photo Lab and Electronics but that didn't get me off for Momma Day. A usual 9 - 6 but they let me go at 2:30 and I celebrated the rest of the day. Started with lunch at Furrs, not a good idea toooo many. Then on to Dee's so I could give her, her MOMMA DAY CARD. She is to only MOMMA I have I have now. THANKS DEE FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR MR. When we left there we went to Gerry's to be with the boys and see how Renee's Day was going. Good long visited Kerry even went with mded up at Ernie's to play cards and yes I did win both games. All .I'm

I just realized why Mom has been on my mind so much

When I just got through with that post I realized why Mom has been on my mind so much. Sorry Mom I just realized its the 6th of May. Mom would have been 98 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM. HOPE YOU AND DOT HAD A SUPPER GREAT DAY. Dot went to Heaven on May the 7th last year. Miss you Dot but I can only imagine you two being together a year now. LOVE YOU BOTH.

Just thought I must add for those of you new to my blog. Dot is my oldest sister and my twin who was 20 when I was born. Dee is my other sister who was 15 when I was born. Do I need to say that is why I have been spoiled ALL MY LIFE. BUT YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOOOO MUST LOVE AND I DID HAVE ME SHARE PLUS. THANK YOU LORD FOR MY SPECIAL FAMILY.

Everything I said and thought about insurance yesterday I take back now.

After the last two days I have had, I take back ALL I said and thought about insurance companies and agents. It is so nice to have them on your side. Mine and the gentleman's who hit us at a stop light have been so nice today, the Ranger is in the shop to be totally repaired. New tail gate and bumper along with repairing the seat and seat belts, like I said we were hit really hard. Jerry was taken by ambulance the the hospital and a lot of blood tests and a CAT Scan were done. All tests came back good, so I got to take him on home. Then the battle of the insurance companies got started. Not only are Safe Co fixing the Ranger, paying all the bills at the hospital but they let us get a rental til the truck is fixed. This is great since my pick-up is still in the shop. Yea for insurance agents that care for people and care how you get to and from work. Most of all THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING THERE FOR US AND WITH US. I can't believe we both had our seat belts on. I usually do not ware my seat belt unless I am driving, that is changing from this day on. PLEASE EVERYONE WHEN YOU GET IN A VEHICLE, PLEASE PLEASE BUT THE BELT ON. Don't just hold it so it looks like it is on, so you won't get a ticket. They are there for a reason, from now on my vehicle will not move til everyone is buckled in.

Hope everyone has a GREAT WEEKEND and a BLESSED MOTHER'S DAY. Take it from an old lady, you don't know what a wonderful MOM you have til she is in HEAVEN and you can't tell her how much you thank her for what she taught you and you didn't realize it. JUST WAIT TIL I GET TO HEAVEN AND I CAN TELL HER HOW MUCH I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED HER AND WHAT SHE STOOD FOR, I WISH ALL OF YOU COULD HAVE KNOWN MY MOM. Even when she was attacked with her third round of CANCER she was such an example of a true GODLY WOMAN. THANK YOU LORD FOR GIVING ME TO HER.

EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT MOMMA DAY !!!

Getting to know you Sunday! - on Thursday this week

This has been a wild and crazy week, especially with the wreck last night. I just found out I don't like insurance companies too much either, mine or his. Can't wait to see how this turns out, we need the truck fixed as soon as possible cause my pick-up is in the shop and I'm not too fond of driving or riding with the seat bent way back. Enough on the wreck, on to more enjoyable thoughts. Getting to know you Sunday / what ever day.

1. did you watch the royal wedding?

My DVR was full or I would taped it and watched it when my husband was not around but I did get to see the two kisses on the balcony. Looks like these kids are for real - HOPE THEY CAN ENJOY THE HAPPY EVER AFTER PART !!!

2. tea and crumpets or coffee and a scone?

Have never liked Coffee much but do enjoy a spot of Tea at times (Hot or Iced). I have not tasted a crumpet but I would like to try one sometime. I do believe I have a bit of Limey Blood in with my Irish since I enjoy TEA sooo much.

3. who's cuter prince william or prince harry?

To me Prince William is too much like the Stuffy English Monarch type wile Harry looks like he would be more fun to be with. Oh the pressures of being KING someday.

4. can you speak with an english accent?

No Way, I have lived in Texas too long to even fake an English accent.

5. do you own a fancy hat?

Just lately have I started wearing hats, it started with a straw hat that I pined up the sides on so it would look like cowboy hat and put a Santa Hat on top of it (it is now a tradition to help me get through Christmas Time at Wal-Mart - Blitz Day til Christmas Day) and I can't show up to work without it. The second hat was a Green Bowler with a Rainbow Hat Ban to ware on St Pat's Day. My fancyest hat is one I ware for Easter, a wide brimed Dark Blue with a vail all across the front and a lot of flowers added, that change each year. My favorite one is a wide brim made from cloth with Stars and Stripes on one side and Stars on a blue background on the other for 4th of July. At work they call me the " Hat Lady ", I guess they enjoy it as much as I do. I can not wait til I figure out how to post Photos so you can see them. MAYBE SOON.

6. would you rather live in a castle or an english cottage?

I have never been in a real castle but from the pictures, they look real cold and uninviting but an English Cottage has "Come on in" all over it, especially if it has a BIG FIREPLACE. I have always been a sucker for a fireplace.

7. how old were you when prince charles and princess diana got married? were you even born? July 29, 1981

31 - And after reading this question it dawned on me, I knew about the wedding but could not remember watching it, why not. When I did the research on the date I knew why, it was July 29, 1981 and my divorce from the boys Dad was final July 29, 1981. I don't think I was in much of a wedding mood that day, so no I did not watch it.

8. have you found your prince charming?

Because of that divorce I can HONESTLY say I now have my Prince Charming, we were married September 18, 1987 and it has been 23 years of being treated like a Queen, sometimes too much like a Queen, way too over protective, but I love him and he loves me and that is what counts.

Now that is my answers to "Getting to know you Sunday" and I hope you have had a GREAT WEEK AND ARE RESTED UP FOR A SUPER GREAT WEEKEND. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES. MAKE IT A GOOD DAY ALWAYS!

Just a quick note to let you know I'm still here.

I can not believe it is April 5 already and Thursday. Where is the time going. I total had plans for Getting to know you Sunday, I had the questions, even my answers set but got busy, didn't get it posted and it is Thursday all ready. Too top it all off we were in a wreck yesterday. Stopped at a red light a guy hit us from behind. We are OK just shook up, but our pick-up didn't fair so well. I'm busy today with insurance and all but will be back as soon as I can to fill you in. Please keep Jerry in your prayers, he was more shook up then me plus he has had 2 neck and 2 back surgery already. GOD WILL HANDLE THIS FOR US AND GET US THROUGH IT ALL. THANK YOU LORD FOR BEING THERE FOR US AND WITH US IN THE WRECK !!!!
