GREAT Grandma Jane


I don't have many pictures of the kids with my grandma or pictures at all because grandma wasn't here for very long. My grandmother likes to shop. Which was great for us, but not real conducive to picture taking. We got shirts, jeans, pj's, socks, scarves and so much more. Just had a good time shopping, eating and going to church.

I have to add my best shopping find was a $28 purse for $2.80. That is right $2.80. I asked the cashier is that right because I thought it was half off. She said "Yes, it is on sale." My grandmother had me run and get her one. We have matching purses now. Best thing is it is the same exact color as my last purse (decided I will carry a red purse until I die). My signature? Very excited to get a great deal on something I need, but hate to buy. I am always in sticker shock when purse shopping. I looked at Dillard's a few weeks ago when Karen was here. The one I liked was $250.00! All that to say, if my $2.80 purse only last a year how could I go wrong? It is cute and even my Liz purse is man made material and I paid way more than $2.80 for it.

I am blessed to have my grandmother in my life. I drove many miles to have her stay with us and would do it again if needed. She is a rare treasure in this world. Many people don't have a grandmother to spoil them and my kids have a GREAT grandmother that is willing and able to spoil us. She is my grandmother too so I get spoiled right along with them. It is a different kind of spoiled. My mom and Karen spoil me too (free babysitter, loving the kids, doing for the kids which is a break for me and much appreciated), but it is hard to explain a grandmothers love. It is different when it is my grandmother here and not the kids grandmother. We had a nice weekend with her and will treasure the time we do get to spend with her for a life time.

Oh how I envy you! My wonderful grand mother died when I was 12 and oh how we miss her. My kids have no true grand parents. Both our parents have passed on. So you are correct when you say your are so blessed to have your grandmother and a great grandma for your children. So glad you all had that time together.

By the way....she looks WAY to young to be a great grandmother...good genes for you!!!

Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook

It has been 24 days since I changed my password and logged off Facebook. I have logged on twice to see if anyone messaged me and logged back off. Which I am glad that I did because someone messaged me about math tutoring. The only thing I missed was if someone had had their baby. I was interested to know and while I tried so hard to stay off Facebook I did search her name just to see if she had the baby. Then I thought if she did have the baby and I don't know then are we really friends?   We are not friends by the true definition, just virtual Facebook friends. Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook 1. Selling of Rodan & Fields, LuLaRue, 31, Ketones or Scentsy.  I like some of these products and support you 100% and hope you do well.  The multiple posts on your product daily but nothing else in your life, blah. 2. Bragging. I love to see pictures of your vacation, if it isn't the only time you are on Facebook. 3. Posting fake news. 4. Making a comment I ...

Queen of Google

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...
