Enjoy your life....damn it!


Blogger is being so weird! I can't comment on so many peoples blogs. Drives me crazy. I have been awake since 2:30 am. My 20 year old son came to me with toothache pain. Guess he will be at the dentists office this morning. He really needs his wisdom teeth out. Felt so bad for him. When your child is in pain it is heart breaking. He has a pretty high tolerence for pain, but the kid was almost in tears. Don't know what we are going to do about the $$ part of it, but everything will work out. It always does.


I have been catching up on blogs this morning. I am feeling back to normal.....which is really relative...lol. Had great busy days the last 2 days. My 3 year Gson is in my bed and I had a great time with him. We hit the bird park yesterday. Even if it is still in the DAMN 90's here in the desert. Suppose to hit 100 by Saturday...seriously?! That was the only exercise I got in yesterday and today will probably be the same. I will be glad to get back to my work routine.


Food has been good. Trying to be good cause I have had limited time and it's so hot here to get outside and move. Excuses, excuses. Will do better. Not going to beat myself up. Life is life. Adjust and move on.


My sister called from Japan yesterday. Getting really excited to see her and my other sister that 1st weeekend in Nov!! My niece will coming to visit next week, really excited for that as well. Hopefully she'll go back and tell her brothers how much fun we are down here, and they will visit as well. Would love that! U2 is next week too, along with my book club for the book "To Kill A Mockingbird". Very excited for that as well. So much to discuss....it's got to be one of my all time faves! Today I start listening to the new Dan Brown book....life really is good.
The pic is of my oldest Gson....love his glasses!

Keep the mood and the food real.....enjoy your life...damn it

    Great pic!!
    Sounds like you have some exciting things going on! I'm hoping to get together a book club for the summer (2010) once the kids are out of school and things are a little slower.

    "When your child is in pain it is heart breaking." And that is why my week and next week are/will be so stressful--pain. (In our case, spacers, braces, surgery and the incredible fear and acting out associated with it.) Yes, a mother's worst heartache is when her kid(s) are in pain.

    I hope everything works out for your son. When I had an absessed tooth, I thought it was worse than labor.

    Your grandkiddos are adorable. =)

    Hope your son gets some relief today. I'm sure he's been miserable.

    Your grandson is beyond cute. Love the Dame Edna glasses!

    You do have a busy time coming up. Lots of fun stuff to look forward to. I cannot wait to hear all about it.

    Yes, wisdom teeth are terrible, I got mine out at 18. Hopefully your son can get it all taken care of quickly so he can be back to normal. Cute picture of the gson *smile*. I feel excited for you too getting to see your sisters, I know you'll all have a terrific time.

    I'd recommend my dentist, but I'm afraid his Hitler mustauche would put off your son...

    I'm sorry about your son's wisdom teeth. Dental problems are so terrible. Here's to hoping the situation gets resolved quickly, cheaply, painlessly and well.

    I love the title of this post. It reminds me of a story about my Uncle Marvin. He was catholic and married a very proper wife. They had 5 kids and two of the boys were little monsters. One night at the dinner table the boys were acting up and Uncle Marvin slammed his fist down on the table and said "Eat nice, God Dammit." That's my family--always a contradiction in terms. Love it! Hey--I have given you a gorgeous blogger award, because you are gorgeous to me!

    A conversationalist, and putting people at ease IS a talent, and something not everyone has.

    You CAN go back to school at any age. I share my classes with about a 1/3 women over the age of 30, and at least 4 in every class are over 50. You could go back to school, and major in history, then teach it to whatever age student inspires you. With your ability to communicate well you could not only teach, but help those students.

    AND by the way. YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO GETTING UNDER 200!!

    I could go on, and on. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
