Up All Night, Sleep All Day (NOT!)


 So my day started yesterday Sunday February 8th at 8:30 am. I got up and went to town to meet my dad at his church. After church I ran errands, saw a friend and then came home to do chores. I gave my mom a shower(she has Alzheimer's) then I cleaned their bathroom. I then worked in the yard and after that the kiddo and I went and got pizza for dinner. I think I was the only one not watching the Superbowl. I was watching a TV show that has 3 seasons and was trying to finish that when I got called to work the overnight shift at work (10:30 pm to 7 am). I already knew it was a possibility that would happen. So off to work I go with the energy of a rabied squirrel looking for it's nut. I cleaned cleaned and cleaned some more. At 3 am I was like when is this energy going to stop!  Before I clocked out I left this sign 👆 on my boss's desk. Let me also say not only did they leave me in charge they left me unsupervised, lol😜 I clocked out at 7 and headed home now with my mind like a hamster on a hamster wheel doing 90 to nothing 🤦 I just knew I would not be sleeping any time soon. Thank God I have a few side jobs I need to do for other people and hopefully when bed time rolls around I can sleep. I give thanks to God for keeping me going and the strength to get through the day. On a side note I ask if you are reading this to send prayers my way for some families and people I care about that are going through a hard time right now. I won't get into it but God knows each and everyone of them and what their needs are. Stick around because coming soon is going to be a blog on how Mother Nature turned the South upside down.

How appropriate my 48th post on my 48th birthday

Image
So today is my 48th birthday and my one goal was to have 50 blogs written and posted. It looks like I didn't achieve that goal as this is my 48th blog. I thought how appropriate to be writing my 48th on my 48th. Maybe I did reach my goal, if I can get two more posts in before midnight technically that would still count, right? Anyways you ask how does it feel to be almost a half a century year old? I don't feel any different and I really don't look any different other then maybe more tired. My day has one of many things and emotions. I have gotten text, FB messages, FB post to my wall and phone calls. Some of them are from people who I knew would wish me happy birthday but there are a few that really surprised me. I'm still holding on to the hope that a couple of people I thought would send me a birthday wish will still do it. I'm not going to make a big deal out of it but to say I'm not hurt would be a lie. Either way I can clearly see who I matter to and I...

Goodbye September, Hello October

Image
 How is it possible that today day is the last day of September? I will go to sleep and wake up to the first day of October. I can say I'm ready for the fall and colder months. Which is crazy to think 3 more of them and it's going to be a whole new year! Time needs to slow down or maybe it's me that needs to? I love this time of year as the evening's are cooler and I can sit out on the porch or lay in my hammock and enjoy the evening. The sounds of nature all around and seeing the beauty of God's creations. Plus it's Fall Festivals, Arts and Crafts shows, evening drives with the windows down, football on tv, I mean really there is lots to do in the fall. There is a few things I would like to do different or maybe have during this time of year but I have to have faith that God will eventually see to it. As I have gotten older and been through many hard situations I don't take this time lightly. I try and enjoy every day and moment I can. My heart does get sad...

Hard Lesson Learned On Day 5 Of The New Year

Image
 Oh what a day! Definitely had it's share of adventures and lessons learned the hard way.  I will give the short version of what went on today. Got up at 4:45 to get ready to pick my dad up at 5:30 to take him to Little Rock to UAMS to have some skin cancer on his head removed. We didn't know it at the time this was going to happen, we just thought we would see the Dr and he would tell us what was going on and what they would do to treat it. Then make an appointment to come back. First we look for the right place for 30 minutes, this place is huge! Then we go in and they tell us they are doing the procedure today. They cut/burn a hole in the back of my dad's head. We wait 30 minutes for them to test it and it comes back they got it all. Praise the Lord! Now here's where things get interesting, we head home, stop in Bryant to eat at waffle House. We then proceed to do some errands and I drop Dad off at around noonish. I go over to a side job that I had and I start my wor...
