Trying to get 3 little ones together for pictures is almost impossible! I enjoy them so much even through the impossibilities!

Many, many things have happened in my life since I last posted anything here. The obvious is my wonderful grandbabies. I now have 3, yes 3 of them to spoil. Melody is the oldest at 19 months old. I have posted tons of pictures of her.Then my precious grandson Maximus who is now 4 months old. I don't see him much which saddens my heart greatly. You see, I think it is different when your son has

There are a lot of pics here that I took last night on top of the hill at Roam Free Park. The ones that I zoomed in on aren't as good as the others, but I hope you enjoy them just the same. Have a great day! Hugz!

Thought I would do a little update here since I haven't wrote anything for a long long time. Things are just busy with work and all that I don't have much time to sit here and write. And now I have a house full of people so it is really hectic. My daughter, her boyfriend, my grandbaby, their dog, my sister, and her daughter are all staying with us in this little apartment. I am definitely loving

Wow, it's been a long time since I have wrote anything here. The days just go by so quickly and time slips away from a person. Seems like the only thing I do on this puter anymore is play those dumb games on facebook. I don't even know if anyone is stopping by here still, but if you are, I thank you.So, what's been happening here, hmmm...I guess I can start by saying that the criminal charges on

My job is going well. It does feel good to be working again. I don't know about these 10 hour shifts though. The last 2 are really hard on my old body. I go home and sleep on the heating pad. If it isn't my back, it's my knees, but usually both. Lol, getting old is a lot of work.There was some major drama with Tatiana last week. Right now she is in foster care and her dad has a court date on the

Lordy, lordy is my body sore. Lol! After over a year of not doing anything but sit on my butt in front of this computer screen I have gotten so out of shape. It is pathetic! Standing on my feet for 9-10 hours a day has proven to be a little hard on this old lady. Tonight will be my 7th day in a row. I did my first night shift last night. My cold is almost gone, but it still woke me up yesterday

Yes, that's right, I started a new job on Monday. It's just at a liquor/convenience/gas/lottery store, but it is getting me out of the house and socializing with human beings...lol! This was the longest that I have been unemployed since I started working at the age of 12, so I'm very happy to be back with the employed.After the first couple of hours, the manager told me that I was already his

I wake up in the mornings and it is sometimes hard to just get out of bed and walk down the stairs. Man have I let myself go in this last year. It is totally ridiculous. I have always worked, since I was 12 years old, I have worked. I thought it would be nice to have a little break, but I never imagined that it would end up to be over a year. In this last year I haven't done much of anything as

I went to Sioux Falls with my daughter and her family for a couple of days. The plan was to go shopping and get a 4 generation picture with my mom. Well, my mom was in the hospital. She has COPD and had to be taken in because she couldn't breathe. When she got there she needed 6 liters of oxygen an hour. So the picture was out. Understandably she didn't want her photo taken. She got out of the

Life issues have started to kick my butt and I am going to be taking a break with my blogging. I need to spend less time on the computer and more time sorting out my life. I will greatly miss each and every one of you and I'll try to be back as soon as I can. I will continue to check my facebook account so you can contact me there if you would like. I will post a badge on my sidebar. I am leaving

I kept my grandbaby yesterday while Chelsea worked. She is such a sweetie. I think that she is colicky though. Or maybe her formula isn't right for her or something, because she gets these awful tummy aches and it just breaks my heart to hear that "hurt" cry. She was really good the first 3 hours that I had her, but the last 2 were bad. I gave her a bottle of water with a drop of peppermint in it

Yesterday I spent the day with my daughter and my niece, Megan. It was Megans birthday and we all decided to hang out for awhile since we don't get to spend much time together. It was a good day! We went out for lunch where we talked about lots and lots of things. It was rejuvenating for me to have live conversation with other women, even though it was with family. We talked as women, not

Since I haven't really had anything positive to talk about lately, (cept my grandbaby, of course) I thought I would share something that I got in my email.

We went out today and took some pics of all the snow. I thought I would share them with you. The temp today was a whopping -4 and there was no wind. It was like a heatwave, lol! It felt good to get out even though it was cold. Hope you enjoy these. Hugz!

My routine is the exact same every single day. I get up between 6 & 7, pee, turn the tv on, turn the computer on, make coffee, check my facebook, play the dumb games on there, go smoke, watch 3 hours of Charmed, read and

I got this idea from 2 of my dear blogging friends. The first time I saw it was on Petula's blog and the second time was on Lin's blog. So I thought it would be a good one to do for the beginning of a new year. Here goes:I am ......saying no to: This one is tough for me as I don't do well at saying no. I am learning though. I will start with myself. I will try to say no when I think I'm not worth

As this year comes to a close I am trying my hardest to reflect on the good things that have happened. (and it's been tough) The very best thing is my precious granddaughter of course. She is the light of my life and the one thing that will always make me smile. I kept her over night for Chelsea's birthday and the little bugger decided that she wanted to keep grandma up all night. I had forgotten

And they didn't have the fuckin balls to come and tell me! It had to have happened in the last 24 hours.

Thank you all for your input and your caring thoughts in my last post. I continue to hang in there and try. I can't just give up. I love Michael so much and I know that this is something that we can do together. Tati will grow up to be a wonderful human being if it is the last thing I do.Now for some more pics of my beautiful grandbaby! She is 4 weeks old today. Please enjoy these photos. Hugz!

If you have been following my blog, you will know that almost 2 years ago I met Michael online at a social networking site. It was amazing, and if you want to read about that it is my very first post on this blog. After 9 months I flew out to California to meet him for the first time. That experience is also written down in this blog. Michael has a daughter, Tatiana, of who I have also wrote

There has been some major teenage drama going on in my world as of late, and I am not sure on what is going to happen. I knew this was going to be hard, but I am questioning whether I will continue to have the strength to do this. I have to apologize for not getting to your blogs and commenting.

I forgot how stressful teenage sleep overs can be. Tatiana's 13th birthday yesterday with 5 teenage girls, I'm ready to pull my hair out. Drama, drama, drama. Seriously, I really don't know how I am going to be able to survive this one. I was so relieved when my kids grew up and out thinking to myself, phew I made it through. I guess I can be thankful that I had a few years of non teen to enjoy.

With Christmas just around the corner I thought I would remind you all of my products and offer you this sale. I have to be honest here, as that is just the kind of person I am, I have an ulterior motive. Yes, it's true. I am in a small financial crisis and really need to earn some money. With the job falling through, I thought what better way than to offer 25% off of my products! Since I don't

I told you I can't resist, lol! She was listening to her grandma's voice when she started doing this.

I just can't seem to take enough pictures of her. She is so beautiful! These I took today after I gave her a bath. She is staying with me for a few hours so her mom can get some stuff done. I know they don't change much in the first few days, but I just can't help myself. Have a wonderful day! Hugz!

At 4:16 pm CST Melody Rayne was born into this world. She weighed 7lbs 9oz and was 20 in long. Chelsea was in labor for 12 hours and pushed for an hour and a half. Poor baby, she is extremely exhausted. I'm a little exhausted myself and blogger is not cooperating so this is all I got for now.Whoo hoo! I'm a grandma!!!!!

To talk and talk and talk without being heard is one of the most frustrating things for me. To try and help and give advice from experience for it only to fall on deaf ears makes me just want to shut up. I don't know, maybe it's the hormones, or so I would like to believe, but being frustrated all the time is no good.I want to be able to say what's on my mind. I want to express my feelings, my

At this time of the year I find myself thinking about all the many things that I am thankful for. The obvious is my family, my health, my friends. Having a roof over my head, food in my belly, and clothes on my back are also obvious things to be thankful for. The things that we tend to take for granted is what this is about. I would like to hear from you what things you take for granted that you

Is there ever a time to say enough is enough, or as a parent do you continue to be there no matter what? Can you ever just walk away? When clearly there is nothing you can do, nothing you can say, when you know that your child has to figure it out on

She was born a preemie, we are only 9 months and 10 days apart in age. She grew up being over weight which affected her self esteem. As she went through her teen years and into her early 20's her choice of friends was questionable. They were using her. Using her for her money, using her for her size, using her for whatever they could get. She allowed this to go on, as she thought they were her

The baby shower was a huge success!! We started off giving everyone a yarn and safety pin necklace and every time someone was caught saying the word baby, whoever caught them got one of their pins. We also pinned the word of a baby item on every back and we all had to figure out what we were with clues from the others. That got everyone interacting with each other and many laughs were had.

I have been thinking about this for quite awhile and thought it was about time that I started. I have been making natural body products for years now and I would like to give some sample lotions out to any of you that would like to try it. I played around with many different recipes until I came up with one that I absolutely love! I'm just happy that I actually wrote it down because I lost an

We took a little time to go to the river and try some fishing. It was a beautiful day and probably one of the last nice days this year. I don't fish, myself, I just like to be by the water. We stayed for a couple hours and Mike actually caught a nice size catfish. We gave it to a man who was also fishing there. He had a couple cats already. He actually hooked Mike up with a crappie rig and let

I had a busy weekend getting the lotion made and making a couple of dream catchers. This first one is for my grandbaby and the second one is for Angela from Here and Now ~*~4 Angel~*~ I have to apologize for the photos, it doesn't do these justice.The following is what is on the card that will be attached to the Dream Catcher.The Legend of the Dream CatcherThe Dream Catcher among Sioux tribes,

I start a job tomorrow morning working the front desk at a motel. I had 4 different people ask me if I wanted a job and the reason I chose this one is that it is close to the apartment. When the snow starts flying I won't have to drive the hill. It is not my ideal job, but it is a job, and you have to do what you have to do.The apartment is pretty much put together. There are a couple of little

Here are a few pictures of the apartment. It is really a nice apartment, just the neighbors leave a little to be desired. I guess I'm not used to living in an apartment, haven't done so for over 20 years. We are continuing to look for a house of our own. Things are coming together. Now I am planning the baby shower! I have the place, the games, the food list, the invitations made out. I am so

I do apologize for not taking any pictures, I packed my camera deep and didn't really want to empty my trunk to find it. I wished I would've though especially when I saw the billboard that said "PJ's Travel Center with

I just wanted to let you all know that I am home! I don't have internet yet, but when we get that taken care of I will come back and let you all know how everything went. I so appreciate your continued support and comments. Thank you all and I will be back! xoxoxoxox

First I want to apologize for my lack of comments on your blogs. We have started packing up the cars and will be taking off in the morning. There is lots of emotion right now. I am very excited and happy that I am going to see my family and friends. I am very sad that Lynn is going to be so far away. I think today is going to be a hard one and the next couple days there will be tears.I don't know

Image by Haml3t via FlickrThank you all for your well wishes for the 2 matriarchs in my life. My mom said that they didn't find anything wrong with her heart or blood work. She thinks it is probably a pinched nerve. My MIL is starting to get over what ever it was that she had and now is dealing with the pain.

Frustration, anticipation, eagerness, nervousness, all jump on top of me like a dog pile. And speaking of dogs...I am so not a dog person. I used to think I was, but no, I'm not. I don't like the barking at all times of the day or night. I don't like the stepping in messes bare foot going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. What am I talking about, I don't like it at any time!!! I don't

~Magickal Graphics~All of the atrocities that continue to happen in this world is what I think about on this day and every day. I will never begin to understand any of it. It is all so senseless. Life, to me, is the most valuable and precious thing there is. Not money, not land, not possessions, not anothers beliefs. So sad, so very sad...

Image via WikipediaI have been trying to think of something to write about for the last few days and have been coming up with nothing but the same old shit. I'm sure you all are getting tired of me talking about moving. Nothing has happened with that anyway so that's out. I have talked about how excited I am for the birth of my new grandbaby, so that too is old news. I know I will never forgive

Image by Antonio Carlos Castejón via FlickrWe are leaving sometime next week! There are a lot of mixed emotions going on with this. Of course I am super happy that I am going to be there with my family. I am also very sad that this move will put us so far away from Michael's mom. I really hoped that she would come that way also. Then it would've been perfect. I have gotten close with her and I am
