Tuesday and clogged kitchen sinks, Grrrrrrrr...Prayer requests also.

I have a favor. Please everyone say some prayers for a DEAR blogging friend, Ness.
Her daughter Kiereney, is in the hospital, and Ness, Kiereney, and the entire family could use some prayers. Ness is such a wonderful lady and is not well herself. Please pray for them and keep them in your thought. Thanks so much. It means the world to me, and I am sure Ness and the family.

OK, now that I have posted that which is important, I will go on with my regular post.

Well, today David was off. As you know his days off are Tuesday's and Wednesday's. I fixed a nice pot roast, carrots, mashed potatoes. gravy and corn for dinner last night. We sat after he got home from work, and enjoyed our dinner. I got up to clean up, like us good wives do, LOL, and started washing out the dishes. Well, the sink would not drain. I got the plunger out, tried that, that didn't work. David tried and that didn't work either. I found a bottle of Drano and used it, waited the time it said plus some and thought that had cleared it. I started on the dishes again, and low and behold, the water wouldn't drain. Anyone who knows me, knows that I can not stand dirty dishes in my sink. I have OCD, about things like that. David once again tried to plunge it, and water was flooding my kitchen from under the washing machine. I cleaned that up and we went to bed, to try again today. It was a all day ordeal. David had to snake the thing, inch by inch. Finally at 8pm, we got it snaked out. When we pulled the snake out, black ucky stuff flew out all over the kitchen, on the ceiling, walls, my curtains, etc. What a mess. Needless to say, we are both worn out. My dishes are now clean and my kitchen is somewhat back in order. Please say a little prayer it stays unclogged. It was so hard on poor David, with his COPD to have to do this, but we had no money to call out Rotor Router, I probably spelled that wrong..LOL.


Here is my sink with the plunger.

Here is Bart trying to help Daddy...LOL


Poor David, had a heck of a time. He's a good man! He also has a bad shoulder. 2 tears in his rotator cuff, so it was also a painful job for him to do.







The job is done and he is now in his computer room, after a shower and is relaxing.

Have a great evening!!

Hey everyone, anyone? LOL. Anybody read this? LOL. I wonder sometimes as I am not getting many comments but then I don't always comment myself. I try to, but sometimes, I am either to tired or busy, so I do understand.

I don't have a lot to say today. I am tired and kind of "under the weather." My pain level is high and doesn't seem to want to let up.

My oldest daughter got back home on the Mississippi coast after Gustav. I am so happy for their safety. Please keep my family in Charleston S.C. in your thoughts and prayers as Hanna decides what she may do. My Mom and 2 sisters and their families live in Charleston. I lived there for 42 yrs and went thru Hurricane Hugo. That was no fun. We had no electricity for over a month, no fresh water, etc and I had 3 young children. It was miserable and I feel for people in hurricanes.

2 of my goldfish died, so I took them back to Petsmart and they replaced them and I got 2 more, so I have 6 which is all that my 12 gallon aquarium will hold and the fish be happy. I chose to do a tank without a heater, as I didn't want to worry about temps, so I chose a carp fish, that didn't need temp control. They re so relaxing to watch. I suggest everyone to get a tank. Helps relaxation.



I hope everyone is doing OK. Stay cool in this heat. We are in the mid 90's today, and it's humid. Just kind of miserable here. We have a air advisory today so it makes it hard for David to go outdoors. I am glad he is off today. I wish with his health he could be everyday.

Oh by the way, I finally got a vacuum. Thank Goodness. With 3 dogs and my OCD about cleanliness, it was a necessity. LOL.

Labor day weekend and I am pooped!!

My daughter Carrie, her hubby Chad and the kids Taylor 13, Morgan 7, Sydney 5, and Cooper 17 mos came to visit with us this weekend. It was a awesome weekend and I am pooped. I so enjoy them, I just get pooped out easily now. I will share some pics with ya'll.



For my birthday they got me a aquarium, the decorations and 4 fancy tailed goldfish and set it all up for me, by my recliner, so I could enjoy them. I love to watch the fish. Very relaxing.There are 4 in there, I know you can't see them. They hide in the shells...LOL


Carrie cut Cooper's hair while she was here. He is so good, just sits there and lets her cut away. Isn't he a dollbaby?


After his haircut we let him run around playing in my back yard. Here he is playing in my fountain...LOL Did I say he is very active??

I got him a little trike bike from freecycle and here is is riding it. He loves it.


Here is Sydney. She's a pickle and my mini me. She had just ate a orange push pop.



Here is Morgan. She was running a temp all weekend. She has migraine headaches just like her Mom. Poor baby, they are so bad.

Here they are loving each other, sisterly love.


When they come they bring their 2 small dogs. They have a black lab Noah who they leave at home.
Here is the chihuahua, Gilly.

Here is their mini dachshund, Allie.
.

Here is my oldest grandchild Taylor. She's 13 and a good pretty girl. I love her so much. Well, I love them all the same, she's just my 1st.



Here's my daughter Carrie and her hubby Chad. What would David & I do without them?


I hope I didn't bore you all with my family, but I love them and I am so proud of them.

I hope everyone had a happy & safe holiday weekend. Of course Poor David had to work, but He got to enjoy the kids alittle in the evenings. Working retail means no holidays. He is off the next 2 days and rest I hope he will get. The man deserves it. I know I will most likely be resting with him, as this weekend pooped me out!!

God Bless~
