Hello

My Mamaw is doing about the same. Thanks for keeping us in your thought and prayers! On Christmas eve she was moved into a nursing home/rehab place. It's nice there but she can only stay for 21 days unless she is making improvements, which hasn't happened yet. So, my RN sister is going to move down here temporarily and be her live in nurse. My dad(Mamaw's main caretaker) is stressed beyond his limits and actually asked my sister for help as it is too much for him to handle.

We have a lot to do ro get my Mamaw's house in order before my sister gets here in a few days. Things are hectic, but I wanted to touch base and let you know I think of y'all everyday! And, I hope and pray everyone had a good Christmas and that 2011 brings awesome things to all you wonderful ladies, you definitely deserve it!!

If I don't talk to you before then, Happy New Year!

Twelve/Twenty-Five/Twenty Ten

!MERRY CHRISTMAS
FROM OUR FAMILY
TO YOURS!

Yes! Even two people can make up a family. ;)

Mamaw and other stuff

So I went and saw my Mamaw today. When J and I got there, none of the other family was there. I said hello and asked how she was doing and in the most pitiful voice, she replied, awful. She kept trying to reach the buttons to move the bed(or so I thought) and said something about not laying down. She wasn't talking real clearly.... I asked if she wanted me to move the bed so she could sit up a little? And she said, NO! I don't wanna LIVE!.... It broke my heart. The whole time we were there she just kept saying things about how she's ready to go and she wants to die and go see Jimmy(her husband) and her daddy. They're both in heaven already. It was so sad to see her like this. She is 86 and has lived a good life, but I'm not ready to let her go. The Dr ordered a CT and seems to think she will begin recovering but I guess I'm just bracing myself for the worst. Hopefully, I'm wrong, but after losing my brother and going through IF it's hard to imagine life with the "everything will be fine" perspective.

When I'm stressed, I bake. I just got done making homemade peppermint bark{see pic above} and now I'm off to see the wizard and make some sugar cookies and sour cream cookies. Looks like I'll be baking all night.

**Thanks for all the comments, hugs and prayers on my previous post.**

I could use some prayers please

Please pray for my Mamaw! She was admitted into the hospital last night and they are keeping her for a few days and then placing her in a nursing home on Christmas eve. Her dementia is worsening and she cannot walk or even stand on her own. All she is talking about is how she wants to go see my Papaw(in heaven) and that it's time for her to see Jesus.....tears..... I don't want to lose her and especially not at Christmas.

Thanks!

Whoo Hoo!! I've finally figured out a way to get on the internet whilst working. My instructer told me we couldn't get on fb, email accts, etc while in their secure network, but I knew there had to be a way, and there is!!! Just wish I had found it earlier.

So, how is everyone? Have I missed any great news from anyone?? Maybe my being MIA was a good luck charm....has anyone gotten KU yet?!? I'm hoping so!!! Hopefully everyone is KU! ;) Okay, well a girl can hope and dream and wish for her friends, right? RIGHT!

Well, as you can see this post is about nothing in particular, so I think I'll end it now before I go off rambling about more nothings.

Have a great day!

I've lost the will to

BLOG.

What has happened to me? I think of you ladies everyday and still check in on your blogs AND comment from time to time. But, for my poor blog....the will is gone. Sorry to those of you who frequent my knowledgeable insight of life happenings and constant ramblings. I am friends with quite a few of you dear ladies on my fb and so I still feel somewhat connected.... I'm sure this is just a phase and I'll be back on the saddle again, but wanted to let you know you are not forgotten. ;)

Hugs & Hearts,
