Happy Veteran's Day!

I'm thankful for all of the men and women who have served, are serving or are preparing to serve our country one day. Without these men and women we wouldn't have the freedom we enjoy every day.

ok...here we go again..maybe?

Things never go as I plan them so I am going to quit saying I will be on more often because the more I say that the less I am available to get online. Anymawhoooo....

Today God gave us a special little blessing, it was supposed to be ugly, cool, and rainy but around 11 am the sun came out and we had a nice warm day. Another blessing we received today was 6 tiny new kittens from our beloved cat Snooki. Actually she is my youngest daughters cat but the rest of us claim her too. I haven't been around kittens in so long I forgot how precious they are, I can't stand the thought of separating them.

So did anyone see Good Morning America last week where they were talking about Greenback, Tennessee getting hit by a F3 tornado? That is about 25 minutes from where I live. The area hit is about half a mile wide and 3 to 4 miles long, the damage is terrible and we knew a few of the people who lost homes and or businesses. No one around here could believe that it was on GMA. You can click here if you would like to see some of the coverage from our local news station.

Up until a few days ago we have had temps in the mid to upper 70's which would have been a great time for some major Spring cleaning but I was too busy so today I got in gear and done about half of my cleaning, I will finish the rest tomorrow.

I think I will go for now, my eyes are getting heavy. Y'all have a beautiful day tomorrow.

my my how time flies

Once again it has been months since I have been on here. I rarely get online these days except to check email and of course Facebook so that I can stay in touch with my family and friends that I don't get to see regularly. Anyway....

A lot has changed in my life since I last posted on August 9, 2010. Chesney, my eldest, surprised all of us during the summer when she announced that she wanted to pursue a career in nursing. I was very pleased with this announcement because previously all she talked about was going into Criminal Justice which meant a lot of worrying for her dad and I due to the fact that the path she wanted to take was straight into the action of things. I am pleased she has chosen to give shots instead of shoot bullets. It seems she has chosen wisely because she has such a special way with the sick, especially those that are experiencing problems in the brain like dementia, brain cancer, and or alzheimer's . Bethany is just enjoying life at age 15 and looking forward to her drivers license in a few months, she is talking about interior design and photography for a career. Ty is getting ready to play his first year of Middle School football and he is very excited about it. He has grown so much that he is about a half inch shorter than me and his feet are bigger than mine, he literally seems to grow out of clothes monthly. In October, at his yearly well check-up, his dr informed us that he will probably never have to take medication for ADHD again, that was a blessing to hear. As for Shawn and I, we try to keep up with the chaos and go with the flow where ever it might lead.

This is just a quick, catch-up post but I will be back later with more, right now I have to get to my eye appointment. I didn't realize the time until my phone alarmed a reminder that I have to be somewhere in a few minutes. Y'all take care and I will return later.
