a bit of catch up

It has been a while since I have been here. The last time I was here I was hoping to be around more often but that hasn't happened, I still have hope. Thanks to all of you who have stopped by to comment, I promise I will be by sometime soon to catch up on you. Y'all take care and for those of you that pray, say a little prayer for me...things are a bit difficult for me right now and I don't even really know why or how.

weekend post...

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mothers who read my blog. I hope all of you have had a good day moms, dads and non parents alike. Today was a good day for me starting off with a huge surprise, I was supposed to work today but after getting up at 4am (we open an hour later on Sundays) and driving into work I found out that we are closed for the day...YAY...except I could have slept four more hours. My manager tried to get in touch with me but my cell phone has bit the dust, something is up with the speaker because people can hear me talking but I hear nothing..oh well I will get a new one in a few days when I have time but for the time being I will just use our third line or "spare" as we call it.

I normally don't post on the weekends and right now I should be in bed but the time I could have been doing laundry today I was sleeping instead and I needed that worse than I needed to do laundry. After church my family and I decided to watch a movie so I grabbed a blanket and snuggled up in the recliner to try and get warm and I fell asleep, actually to be honest I hit that level of sleep that is like a coma when you hear nothing and know nothing because you are sleeping so heavily. I never sleep like that but today I did and I sure feel better.

I don't know about your area but around East Tennessee the grass and trees are so pretty, they are very lush and so green from all the rains we have been having. Today is the first day in over a week that we haven't had at least one torrential rain storm move through and the sky is all cloudy and stormy looking right now so we may get rain before midnight arrives. We desperately needed the rain because we were still in drought levels in most areas from lack of rain the past two years. The kids are almost out of school, the 21st of this month is their last day. I can't believe that Ty is graduating 5th grade and Bethany is graduation 8th grade, this time next year Chesney will be graduating high school...sniffle. If ever I could give anyone advice it would be to those who have small children and those who do not currently have children but plan to one day..the advice would be.....enjoy them while they are small and under your feet because all too soon they will be driving and growing up and you won't know everything about their lives and where they are at all times.


Y'all have a great Monday tomorrow and hopefully I will be back with another post in a day or so.

long time no blog....

Hey all! How are all of you? Wow it has been over a month since I was last here to blog. I have been very busy with the new job and adjusting to my new time schedule. To those of you who left birthday wishes in my comments thank you! Friday Shawn and I celebrated 16 yrs of marriage. I am still wondering how those 16 years have flown by so fast, they have been great years and I am blessed to have Shawn. It has been crazy around here, it seems every night I am averaging 2-3 hours of sleep then getting up at 3am and working 8 hard hours then coming home and doing house work, softball, church, and anything else that pops up so it is hard for me to hit a regular routine right now and that is why I haven't been in blogland lately. I am hoping to get around to all of your blogs tomorrow because I will be home earlier than usual. Ty has an appointment with his doctor so I will not be working a full day tomorrow.

I miss stopping by all of your blogs and hope to be back into a regular routine that allows me time to do just that soon. Y'all take care!
