Sleepless in Ohio

Hey everyone!

My sweet daughter Carrie, has been cooking her little heart out today and was sending pics on the cell as they were done.

David's very favorite dessert is cherry pie, so Carrie baked him one, homemade crust and all. She is little Miss Susie homemaker..Here is a pic of the pie. She made little snowflakes to use as the top crust!


She also made some fudge.. Yummy!!!


She also made a apple dessert and some pumpkin bars. I can't wait for the goodies! They will be leaving to come here tomorrow. The kids are getting their flu shots before they come up. They should be here by dinner time tomorrow. David is going to be off Thanksgiving after all. A young girl, who isn't doing Thanksgiving switched days with him. He works tomorrow and off Thursday. Thanks Heather!! Now we can eat before 8pm!! I will take some pics and share them later. I want to see pics of everyone else's day also!! I will miss my oldest daughter and her family, and my son and his wife, but am thankful to have Carrie and her sweet family here to share the day.

If I don't find time to blog until after Thanksgiving, I wish ya'll a very Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. All you other diabetics, shall we watch what we eat but enjoy it also.

God Bless~

Dreary and sad Saturday.

My son and my daughter in law were supposed to arrive today for the Thanksgiving holidays. He texted me last night around 4:30 AM, and said Amanda was sick with a flu bug, coughing and feeling terrible. She is 24 weeks pregnant. So they made the decision, that they weren't going to come. My oldest daughter can't come because of work, and now my baby, my son can't come. My middle child, Carrie and her sweet family are supposed to arrive on Wednesday. They only live 2 hours north of me. My son is sad also. We haven't been together in a year. I miss them so much!! I know children grow up and move on, but darn it, it hurts!!! I was so excited about having them with me. I am hoping that Carrie, Chad, Taylor, Morgan, Sydney & Cooper don't have any mishaps and can come. David has to work 10AM-7PM on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Please keep my daughter in law in your prayers that this is only a bug and will not cause any problems with the baby. This is their 1st baby, so I understand him being very protective. He is going to be such a good Daddy. The baby is a boy. His name will be Brice. I have a lot to be thankful for, so I have to try and remember that, and not be so sad. This has been a rough year. My declining health, David's health, the death of my sister, but I do have Loads of things to be thankful for.

It doesn't help that today is a overcast, cold day. It snowed Thursday, our 1st measurable snowfall this winter. Have I ever said, I HATE winter and snow? If not, let me put it on record, I HATE winter and snow...LOL. Here is a pic of the car, right after David pulled into the garage.

The dogs are not liking the cold weather either. They either pile all up in the chair, or when David is in the computer room, his room, they lay together on the futon. This is the same futon that David fell on when he hurt his face so bad and had 16 stitches. If you notice the broken wood, that's where his face broke the wood. They pulled that wood out of his face. Y'all remember that? That was a bad day!! These pics aren't that good, as they were taken with my cell phone, and it was night time and dark in the room.





I have a crock pot full of chili, waiting for David when he gets home. He works till 7PM. The Ohio State Buckeyes beat the Michigan Wolverines 42-7, and I am in my recliner, with my laptop and the dogs curled up asleep on the couch, so all is well. It's dreary, and I am sad, but I will be OK. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.I have a favor to ask y'all. See that follow me over on the top right on my blog? If you haven't signed up to follow me already, would ya? It would sure make my day!!

Happy Birthday Carrie!!

30 yrs ago today, I gave birth to my middle child, my 2nd daughter, Carrie Rebecca. She was a beautiful baby and is a beautiful woman today. I love her more than words can express, and she is such a helper to her Mom. I don't know what I would do without her. She's a great Mom to Taylor 13, Morgan 8, Sydney 5, and Cooper 20 mos. She is married to Chad, my wonderful son-in-law. They have a wonderful family, and live 2 hours north of me. They will be spending Thanksgiving with me :o) Also my son, Jeremy, from Arkansas and my daughter-in-law Amanda. They have a baby boy in the oven due in March :o)



HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY CARRIE!!!!!!!! We love you!!!

OK, I was also tagged. I will do that for tomorrow's blog!! It's late and I want to post this while it is still Carrie's birthday!!

Pics of the fur babies..

I haven't posted any pics of my fur babies lately. Yesterday was Bart's 3rd birthday. All 3 dogs are now 3 yrs old. They are so funny. We have this chair in the bedroom, that all 3 claim as THEIR CHAIR!! I most often find them, all 3 snuggled up together. So cute!!! What would I do without them? When I am down, I look at them and they make me smile. They are definitely man and woman's best friend.





I just love those 2 guys and 1 girl. If I could afford more, I'd have more.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. We are due cold, windy, and snowy weather this weekend. YUCK! I hate winter!!!!

Thursday Meme.

dlyn ran a photography meme yesterday and by virtue of the fact that I read it, I am tagged.

Here is what you do:
The object is to go to your 4th photo file,
then to your 4th photo inside that file
and then post it.

My 4th folder is a folder of my oldest child, my daughter Aubrey's family. The 4th pic in that file is Dominique, my granddaughter. This pic is several yrs old, as she is now 7 yrs old. Well almost 7, she will be 7 early January. She is the middle child and so sweet and so cute. They live in Mississippi and I miss them :o(

So if you feel so tempted to do my meme, you have been tagged. Let me know in my comments if you post, so I can go over and look at your pics!

I hope everyone is having a good Thursday. Mine is quiet and OK, so far. I am cooking a casserole for dinner and then watching Grey's Anatomy tonight.

God Bless~

Upset :o(

!st, I wish everyone a Happy Veteran's Day, and if you are a Veteran or spouse, Mom, Any relative of a Veteran, Thank You!! My hubby is a Veteran, I have a step son who is , and 2 son in laws who are. Without these wonderful people, we would not be free and have the life we have now! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Well I had looked forward to this appt with this new doc for so long. I could hardly sleep. I got up, got ready, which some days is a BIG challenge some days and braved the cold day, I HATE winter, it makes my neuropathy pain much worse. David fills his oxygen tank and we go find this new docs office. I get in there and announce myself like you do at a doc's office and they just stare at me. I said I have a appt with Dr. Kim at 1:00. The lady says NO you don't. I showed her my appt slip that THEY sent to me in the mail. She proceeds to tell me that Dr. Kim is out of the state this week and they had called me and talked to me and told me that and that they cancelled the appt on August 29th!! I was so livid by this time. They could tell, I was upset, so they brought me to the back, and explained that the girl, who, wrote this all down, was no longer there. So now, I have a appt with him, on Dec 4th. Now David will have to take a day off to take me. UGH! I apologize if I sound mad but I am! LOL. I am ranting, I guess, but I felt you guys would listen..LOL.

I hope everyone else's day was better!! Here's to a better Wednesday!!!

God Bless~

Asking for your thoughts and prayers please.

Tomorrow at 1 PM I finally get to see the new Dr. for my diabetes. This is a endocrinologist. It took me 3 1/2 mos to get a appt with him. I am hoping that he will be able to help me get this diabetes in better control. I have had it for so long that my poor pancreas is just gone. I ask that you say a extra little prayer that this man has some insight and I will get some knowledge from him. I also ask you add in my blogging friends who are also having some health issues with themselves and family. I still haven't been able to get my power chair as we are having extreme financial woes. I need $135.00 co pay to get it delivered. I will try and blog after I see the specialist tomorrow.

God Bless~ I love you all!!

Playing catch up!

I wanted to let everyone know, I am here. I have been so exhausted, I couldn't even think straight. The death of Susan, totally hit me for a loop. The 1st 3 days I was home, I literally slept. I was sick from exhaustion. I couldn't even speak. I want to thank everyone for their sweet messages. It is what kept me going. I am still quite weak, walking is almost impossible. My power chair is ready to be delivered, but I lack the $135.00 co pay right now. I could sure use that chair right now.

I need to blog about my trip to SC. It was a "Murphy's Law", trip. Including the flights. The only positive thing was getting to see my Mama & Daddy and sister's and brother. I also got to see my very favorite cousin in the world. His name is Randy, and I love him so much. He was my strength at the service. Not sure I would have made it without him.

Here is a pic of me with my parents. I am sitting between them. On back row is my baby sister LeAnne, my oldest sibling,(my sister Carol), and the only brother, he's 3 yrs my elder, Donnie.



I want everyone to know, I am keeping up with your blogs, and I am here, and hopefully can soon blog about my sister and my trip.

Please keep my family in your prayers, as well as my blogging friends who are having their issues also. I love you all!!

God Bless~
