Bubba

I have a wonderful family I have two sisters and one brother. They were 13, 14, and 15 when I came along and I was only 4 when my sister Gay had her first daughter Stephanie so I grew up with my nieces and nephews and they have kids the same age as mine or older. We try to get together as much as we can. My nephew Chad and his wife Stephanie have 2 kids Chloe and Caleb. We got together not too long ago at the Executive and just had dinner and swam in the pool. We went to my brother Rodney's for my niece Kelsi's 16th birthday. We're going back in a couple of weeks for his other daughter Caytlin's high school graduation. These are a few pics of Faith, Hope, Chloe and Caleb

Pray for my friend

I have a friend I met through the OB office I worked in in 2000. We've remained friends through the years. She has a 19-year-old daughter. Her daughter has gotten into drugs and drinking and has an abusive boyfriend. She recently tried to commit suicide twice and my friend had a nervous break down. She then got pneumonia and bronchitis because her immune system was so low. She can't drive because of all the meds she's on and she's on medical leave from work. Her work is giving her a hard time about coming back. I've been trying to take her to her doctor appointments so her husband doesn't have to take so much time off and getting her around for her errands and just being there when she needs someone. She's doing much better but she needs prayer to get through this and for her daughter too. Her daughter of course thinks she knows everything and will not listen to anyone. I think unfortunately she will have to learn some lessons the hard way. I pray that Connie gets to feeling better and can take care of herself and then she can start taking care of Ashlee and just try to be there for her. I know she's of age and thinks she can do what she wants. I pray God keeps her safe from harm from the terrible things she's doing to her body and she sees the light and will get away from the atmosphere and the drugs and alcohol and this boyfriend. Thanks for the prayers in advance!

Slowly crawling to my 100

63. I can't stand people who are always rude and talk hatefully and then think it's "just the way they are"......and that's a good thing??

64. I like to cook.

65. I don't like following recipes. I make my own up as I go along. Sometimes I just look to see what we have in the cabinet and work with that.

66. Sometimes I don't feel like a good mom because I get impatient with the girls and I don't like the way I react to things. I pray daily to be better.

67. I love the Brady Bunch! I love catching the re-runs on Nick at Night!

68. I collect churches.

69. I also collect angels.

70. I love taking bubble baths while I read.

71. I collect baskets too.

72. I have no stretch marks from my kids..........yet.

73. I love my house smelling good. I have air fresheners in every room of my house!

74. If I every won the lottery (I'd have to play first) none of my friends or family would want for anything!

Baby #3??

Well we've decided to start trying by the end of this year early next year for baby #3!! I used to want a girl so I could have all girls and I'm so used to them but I wouldn't mind having a son. I'll take whatever God gives us though! Of course I already have names picked out ~ Grace for a girl and Gracen for a boy. Jamie's not too sure about the boy name but we'll see if we can get him to agree. I want to stay with my "theme" names.

Abba Clinic

Well we met tonight and ran through a fake counseling session with the ladies who will be doing counseling to get a feel of the new clinic. I am so excited. I know God will send us the ladies He knows that we can touch or may even touch us somehow. We have a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday at noon and our first official day is Friday. There's an open house Saturday 10-12. The Manna Market will also be ready to go. Our little "store" looks so cute!! We have so much food but I know it won't last long. I pray that God continues to keep our shelves full so we can supply the needs of the families that will be coming there and we can give with grateful hearts. Now we are working on our little Mom's group. We will have meetings two Tuesdays a month and provide the women with insight and our experiences and answer questions as well as many resources. God is good!!!

Best Friends

Well Susan, Sonya, Jennifer, Julie & I went out to eat Friday night at the new El Maguey. It is very nice. Jennifer is moving up to Indy by our friend Jessica. She's met a wonderful guy. Jennifer has yet to settle down and find "the one" but I think this guy might be the one. He's French-Canadian and speaks French. She put him on speaker phone so he could talk to us a little. Good luck Jennifer!! There is an awesome concert up by where Jessica lives in July ~ REO Speedwagon, STYX and Def Leppard!! Talk about flashback. I can't wait to go and listen to the old music and hang out with my girls. Julie's having a hard time with losing her dad a couple of months ago. I pray that she finds comfort in the fact he's gone to be with our wonderful Lord and he is no longer in pain. I hope she can find some peace and she can share all her memories of him with her boys so they will never forget papaw Gary. I adore my friends and we have been there for each other through high school, boyfriends, break ups, weddings, babies and funerals. I thank God I have all these girls to call my friends and my "sisters". We can get together at holidays and email and it's like we saw each other yesterday. Thank you to all my friends!!!!!
