Hope everyone is having a good weekend - I went to the hairdresser today and now I amtrying to convince my husband that he can put his shirts in the cleaners and have them pressed! He's convinced we cannot afford it! We can! I think if he put them in he would not have anything left to complain about! Is that being terrible? I have two jobs - he is retired and he is trying to save money - but he has ruined my iron and I really would like him to put them in the cleaners.

Our granddaughter is visiting with her mother this weekend overnight only she will come home tomorrow morning - I really miss her. I have been trying to get caught up on household bills etc today - have not made a lot of progress and cannot get the account to balance - 3.56 off - it bugs me! I guess I will wait until the next statement comes out to find it. I usually balance to the penny and it bugs me.

I have not had much time to write anymore - and did not write when I had the time - I have a good name "Lazy Writer". I keep trying - I keep imagining that after I'm gone one of the kids will find my ramblings and think what a great writer and have them published then!!!! How crazy is that!

I admire all those of you who have a lot to do and still manage to find the time to write - what I read here is very good - wish I would write like that.

and again I say - maybe someday.

Hope you all have a blessed Sunday - remember Jesus who died for us!

Will just take a minute to say helllo to all - I am at work and don't have anything to do right now. The hospice is really interesting work. I just do the office work and answer the phones. I like it a lot but it is tiring since I have to drive about an hour here and again to go home.

I always wonder about the patients that have died - did they know God? Where will they spend eternity? I can only hope and pray for the family.

We lost two today - but that is the way it goes. I am still learning and everyday it is something new!

Like everywhere else - we have some hard workers and some slackers! One in an important position - something needs to be done there - but it really is not my place to say anything!

Well better close for now - even though I do not have anything else to do.

Take care everyone and keep writing.

Well did not do what I was going to do today - work for the first job - got up and the battery back up went out - had to go get another one, then decided tohave breakfast out, then while i was out decided would be a good time to pick up lunches for next week - got home and took a two hour nap - got up to find the husband installing the battery back up and when all is finished it is 9 pm and still no work done!!!! Guess I will have to do it tomorrow.

Never have enough time anymore! But I do like my job so it will all work out someway.

My little one is have more health problems - looks like their might be a problem with her thyroid and diabetes. The levels are not real high but high enough for me to want her to see a specialist. That is what I will be telling her doctor on Thursday. I will not take chances with her health. If the specialist tells me its not bad then maybe I will believe it or I may seek another opinion. Not mentioning to her mom untill I have all the facts.

I am also not happy about her school teacher this year - she is supposed to be the gifted and talented teacher for second grade - but so far I am not impressed at all - she is not going to be very inspirational for my little one this year. A teacher is supposed to encourage the kids and help them to reach their full potential and I do not see this teacher exerting herself at all in this area.

I have been online looking for second grade work for her to work on at home - printed out several different worksheets - I will have her do one a night and send them to school so her teacher can see what she is doing. I know that she will take the grades on it.

Have you ever wished you had an unlimited income? I think I may try to write a piece on that - day dreaming!!!

Well better close for now. Hope anyone who reads this has a very good week.

Well today I find that I am a little depressed. It started off with sending my granddaughter to her mothers over night - she comes home at 9 am tomorrow. I miss her terribly - and I am pretty sure her mother is doing a subtile form of brain washing. She's already started. My fears for this child grows.

Next I need to go shopping for the granddaughters birthday party and the husband decides that this is the perfect time to work on the car! OK so he gets started and breaks a piece that he needs! I am trying to be paitient and understanding but it really frustrates me.

He has also left a huge mess in the den - and he fusses if our granddaughter leaves her toys out! I feel like the house is out of control and I can't seem to stop it.

I have been working from home the last 3 years and the business has dropped off considerably - so I took a part time job supposed to be 2 days a week - well this last week it has turned into 5 days a week. This is good I need the paycheck since the husband only has social security coming in. But I am tired and when I come home after driving 45 minutes home and see the house in a mess - I am irritated!

Today I am just plain tired - I have to do laundry - payroll for the first job - and try to get a dirty house organized! to say that I feel a little overwhelmed today is putting it mildly!

I do like thenew job though. It is for my sister n laws hospice - she has really created a wonderful thing! I just do the office work and answer phones but it is really interesting work. The nurses and aides are really nice people - they provide a wonderful service that is really needed.

The elderly that they take care of are treated respectfully and loveingly. the sad thing is some are not so elderly they are young one women is only in her 30's it can be very sad. I try not to read their charts as I am filing - but I have to know where things go so you have to read them. Every morning when I go in the first thing I have to know is if anyone died overnight! I try to look at it as a necessary service we are providing - I just hope that they all know the Lord before they leave this world and head into the next!

I really need the Lord today - I feel tired, washed out, drained, etc. I need strength to get up and get the things done that need to be done.

Well I had better close this and get up and make myself get started. I at least need to clean off a certain table that is going to overflow if I don't get at it.

I wish you all well.

Well I just realized how long it has been since I have been on here! I started a new job and the time just seems to fly by!

Well this morning started a new phase of my step daughters visits with our granddaughter (we have custody) it has taken her two years to get to this point! But I had to let this precious child go with her overnight!

I trust in God and in His mercies - I am trusting Him to keep her safe! My step daughter may not be "using" anymore but I'm not quite sure her mental faculties are still functioning properly.

She is supposed to go in on Tuesday for a surgical procedure which she wanted to tell the child about - I told her no it will only worry her - why tell a child something that you know is going to upset her - when it is not necessary!

It is realitively dangerous - dealing with the spine - the "bad" in me says that this would be a good time - not to be in the childs life anymore. But then I realize that that is the devils way of thinking and not God's - God please forgive me for that thought! I don't want any harm to come to my step daughter - I just want the mental harm she is doing to my granddaughter to stop.

My granddaughter loves her mother - but I think that she is slowly coming realize that Mom has problems - I just hope that she will be able to deal with them. My granddaughter sees a psychologist on a regular basis just because of her mother. We had to deal with a few issues on her last visit because of her mother.

It amazes me that someone who says they love someone - will do such harm!! I know my step daughter is not the only one like this!!

The new job I am learning is working for a hospice! I am only doing the clerical work - not dealing directly with the patients! I don't think I could do that. My sister n law started this hospice and it is growing - so I am working part time in the office.

She has such a heart for the dying, elderly patients! God has blessed her! She has created a really great hospice - the nurses that she hires are truly good and caring!

Several in her office though want to be chief!! I guess that goes on in any office!

Wish me luck in learning something very new to me! Office work I know - but the medical end is something else again!

Well I've rambeled on enough - I really have to work on my spelling!

I hope all of you have a great and safe holiday weekend and a great week ahead!

Well this morning no one would let me sleep when I was up in the night with an upset stomach. This irritates me. But I know I have to get up - the house doesn't clean itself - the laundry does not wash itself - you know how it goes!

My son and middle granddaughter are coming this evening and I guess I really should straighten up some! His oldest daughter - my oldest granddaughter - just gave birth to a beautiful little baby boy - my first great grandson! He is adorable! Mother and son are doing fine.

I really hope one day to be able to sit here and write something that someone would enjoy reading - not just a lot of babble. Sometimes I think there is a giant void out there in cyberspace and that is where all this writing is just floating around in nothingness!

Well I had better get up and get my day started - little one needs her meds and I have a house to clean.

Keep writing everyone

Hope everyone is having a good week. I guess I am a little bored I am looking forward to school starting again - I like to work in my granddaughters classroom. It's the same ole, same ole everyday! I know I should get up and make myself do something but what - nothing is that interesting anymore. Housework is always here - I miss going into the office everyday - it was something different.

Don't get me wrong I love my family and my home - I am just bored.

Any ideas on how to get me moving??

Better get the little one to bed.

Hello Everyone,

Well I am back to say hello to all and hope that everyone has had a good week.

My back is still really bothering me - I may have to break down and go to the doctor about it. But I don't like pain pills and the like - but I need to be able to stand for longer than 20 minutes at a time.

Well I am trying to get my head around writing again - but I can't seem to come up with a theme or the enthusiasm to start a new story. It makes me wonder if I really want to write at all. I have so many ideas and I really can't seem to pin anything down!

Well maybe this week I will be able to get something written or at least started! I also want to do some corrections given to me several years agao by SherryB. Maybe I will start with that one and repost it to see what everyone things with it corrected.

I have been making up stories for my granddaughter for years when I put her to bed - I also want to write those down.

Well we will see how the week plays out - what I actually occomplish by the end of the week.

Well if anyone actually reads this - I hope that you have a super day.

Well hello everyone - on July 4th I was cooking a brisket on the gril and most surely the back started hurting! It kept hurting and now I can bearly stand more than 15 or 20 minutes at a time. If this keeps up I will be forced to go to the doctor again - have had xrays etc and no one can find anything wrong. But I have trouble getting up and walking and standing for longer than 20 minutes. I thought that it would be better by now and I can get up easier but I can't stay up!

Hope everyone else has had a good week. thought I would get some more writing in but that has not happened either. I have to try harder - harder to find the time to write.

My granddaughter will be turning 8 this September and she is so smart - I am on pins and needles waiting for her test results to come back. She took the credit by exam tests to skip second grade - I think she did pretty good but I don't know if she did well enough. She has a very high IQ and it is hard to keep her occupied! She will always find something to do!! We try to stay very active with her in school - I am room parent for her classroom and her Grandpa is always helping out around the school and printing worksheets for her classroom. We love it - it really keeps us busy! I just hope the back clears up before school starts again!!!

I am watching the TV show "America's Got Talent" watching these people who at every age are following their dreams and trying to make them come true. It makes me want to try a little harder with my writing - I am really going to try to work on some of the things I have posted and see if I cannot make them better. I would really like to be a published author some day and it needs to be sooner rather than later!

So I must work!!

Hello Everyone,

Well I just renewed my membership after a very long absence. The last time I wrote in my blog was Jan of 2010 - well I am going to try again. I have missed writing here and reading other writers - I just reread some of mine posted here and the reviews that I received - it really made me miss it.

I would like to consider myself a writer - but since I do not do it very often - it really does not fit. I am going to try to develop a writing habit - that would have me sitting here a little everyday to write something down.

Writing always seemed to help me before - to clear my head - so to speak. I do keep a journal of sorts - my prayers to God - writing them out helps me to focus on my prayer.

I have so many things that I would like to write about - I really need to get organized with the thoughts.

We just passed the 4th of July - Independence Day - United States of America! I still get teary eyed when I see the flag and hear the Star Spangled Banner! I read an article that says we need to change our national anthem because some people have a hard time singing it!!!!!!!!! I say get another singer!!!!

Well that's only one of the things that gets me going! I think I am going to enjoy writing again!!!

You'll be hearing from me again!

It's been awhile since writing here. Lots has been going on and just have not been in the mood to write. But I am going to try and change that. January will soon be over and maybe things will settle down abit.

I hope everyone has had a good start to the new year - ours was a little iffy - we have been having more trouble with the mother of our granddaughter - does not make a good start to the new year!

But one thing I have done this week is turn it all over to God and allow Him to take control! I really like to be in control and it is very hard for me to give control to someone else. But I know that God will take care of whatever comes up from now on.

I would ask that you all keep us in your prayers - please.

I know its been awhile and I don't have anything uplifting or happy to talk about today. We had a disapointing day in court and I am sad.

I hope you all had a great day and are happy.

I just want to wish to all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

PLEASE KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR!
 

As we are about to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas in our household, church and country - I have become upset with the school my child attends. I do not mean to offend anyone with this post but this past week the school has been teaching Kindergarteners - "Christmas Around The World" sounds ok doesn't it? I was not aware of this until a paper came home with her about the Jewish faith and the Dreydl. A few days later something about Kwanza. She also said she had been taught something about a witch filling the childrens shoes. Now I do not profess to know a lot about these other religions/customs - and I do not have a problem with them. What upsets me - is the fact that Christ cannot be taught along with the others. To me and my family - Christ's birth is the reason to celebrate Christmas.

I sent emails to the schools principal and the teacher that I did not want my child taught these things - not yet - I want her grounded in her own faith - first - then as she is older she can learn about other religions/customs. Things have gone so far in our country I don't know if there is even a possibility of changing this. I really do not know even where to begin to fight it.

The principal and the teacher are great and I do not have a problem with them - it is the system that I am upset with - and myself that I have not taken a more active role in keeping this from happening!

This is my viewpoint - if religion is to be kept separate from state - then shouldn't all religion be banned from schools? Why limit it to just the Christian faith? Even if it is being taught in such an innocent manner - it still has roots in religion. I do not want the government or schools or anyone/thing teaching my child any religion/custom - that is my place, as a parent, to direct her religious training.

Thanks for listening,
Keep Writing,
LW

I do mean GOOD MORNING!

I think that we all need a more positive-happy outlook on life in general!

I know things may not be the way we would choose them to be - my problems are not what I would ever have chosen for us! BUT we have the ability to make the choices to face them with FAITH or with sorrow.

I have been talking to my granddaughter a lot lately about choices - she is six and I am trying to teach her by talking to her instead of punishing (I may be dreaming - but I am trying) so we have been discussing the choices we make and what happens after we make them.

It has made me think about the choices that I, myself, make and sometimes I have needed to think things thru a little more before acting. I think we could all do that - think before acting or speaking!

I choose from now on to face my problems with a positive outlook and have FAITH that the God I believe in is BIG enough - STRONG enough - LOVING enough - CARING enough to take care of what ever problem or situation that I may face.

I choose to have FAITH TODAY!

I hope that everyone has a super good day regardless of what your problems may be. CHOOSE to have FAITH in GOD and have a happy day!

I have just been reading some fellow writers and just realized just how sad some of the writing is - I know writing helps me get things out - so that I feel better - but I would also like to read some light and uplifting things also. I guess I just don't get to read enough. I am going to try to write more up lifting things ... things that make you feel good when you read them. I just have to take the time to do it!

I've got to get to bed. Keep Writing

Well today is a better day for me. The sun is shinning and I gave all my problems to God last night! It is amazing how much better that I feel. Now I just have to leave them there - I don't know why that is so hard to do! I know that He can handle things so much better than I can.

I hope that you all have a Blessed day and remember that God can handle anything!
