It's The Weekend!!

It's the weekend and I can't do much on my list because we have no water!!! It went off last night, so I went to work since I couldn't do much at home! I hope the water is on when I get home!! This has been a busy week at work as you can see since I didn't write any this week. I saw the girls this week and they were adorable as always and giving me their McDonalds order. Not even Jocelyn wanted a Happy Meal, they like the bigger orders now! I may need a second job!! LoL!! I don't know what they're up to this weekend. I haven't heard from them, but they are probably busy with getting their rooms put together and spending time with daddy--since he's off for the weekend! Not much else to say. My time is almost up at the library, so I'll check in again soon! Later!

I'm in a purple kind of mood.....

I'm in a purle kind of mood, which is good! I am expecting a good day and I have decided to be happy. Happiness is not a by product. Happiness is a choice. I choose to be happy and will make this a good day. I have decided not to be moody, not to be gloomy, and not to be a pain. I have decided to smile and pass it on! I am a child of God, I am blessed, I have a beauitful family, and I have too much to be happy about and nothing to be sad or mad about! Life is what you make it, and I've decided to celebrate my life! My life is good and because of the blessings of God and His unfailing love for me--I am blessed. I choose to be a blessing to others and not a burden! I choose to spread happiness, and God's love to others. I'm in a purple kind of mood--and that's cool!

WORK

I havd had a productive day today at work. It's been busy, but I accomplished a lot! I saw at least 8 clients! Finished minutes from last meeting, entered progress notes in the computer, went to a drup rep. luncheon, completed an assessment with a client, and worked on the caseworkers caseloads! Whew!!!!!!!! I'm tired! Only one more day and it's the weekend! I would say yea!!, but I need to work this weekend because I have at least 80 discharge summaries to write, which I won't get to tomorrow because we have a big meeti ng for all caseworkers in the morning and I have to finish this weeks progress notes!!! Someday in the spring, I'm gonna rest! :)

Thinking about Hatti, and wondering............

I woke up to the news on Thursday about the earthquake in Hatti and was brought to tears as they showed photos of the destruction and the people. The news started out with "it's as if Hatti has disappeared!" I can't imagine living through that and my heart really grieves for the children, and all the people affected by this. The people who have survived seemed so lost, frightened, and desperate. The destruction of the country and the people seems to me to be the worst disaster yet. I feel so helpless--there doesn't seem much that an old woman from Texas can do and that brings me to tears as well. A lot seems to bring me to tears--I guess it's the age and being female! All I can do is pray--pray for the country, the people, the children, the rescue workers, pray for peace, pray for the supplies and the water to get to the people, pray for order, pray for hope! There is always hope, and I take comfort in that. I know people are scared and it's hard to maintain order--but I pray that with help coming that the people will calm so that the aid can get to them. I pray for Hatti to find God and He will give them the peace that passes all understanding. Maybe you think you can't do much, but there is nothing more powerful than prayer--talk to God, ask God, and trust God. Anyway that's a little this and that from the mind of an old woman here in Texas.

Jocelyn

Well, it's Sunday and it's been a nice day so far. Jocelyn spent the night and then we went to SS. Jocelyn loves SS. We met the rest of the family in church--even Shannon came. Jocelyn gave her heart to Jesus during the service. She was so brave and sweet. She told the preacher that she accepted Jesus in her heart and wants to be baptized. She was all innocence, faith, and sweetness. We need to be like that--innocent and just trust Jesus. I'm never lonely because He lives in my heart too. I just need to have more faith and give up the control of my life to Him daily. Today is a good day, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

Grandma's Girls

Well, here I am writing my first blog. I'm not sure what to write, but I'll give it a whirl! I have had a busy week! I took spent the night with my granddaughters Sun-Tuesday night. I enjoyed tucking them in and spending a little time with them. They are sweet, funny, energetic, wild at time, mischievous, thoughtful, silly, dramatic, and precious! Breanna is 12 going on 13 and anxious to be a teenager. She is a drama queen with a touch of sweetness and a hint of mischief. She is a good big sister--unless they get on her nerves--which they do at times. I've seen her impatient with her younger sisters and then tender with them as well. She is something special for sure! Audrie is the middle child and when she dances she is full of gace. She is our preformer torn between graceful dancer and tomboy up a tree. She is the most affectionate and will always hand out a hug--sometimes two! She values everyone being honest with her and keeping their promise. She is all energy, fun, and excitement with a touch of grace and oveflowing with love! She will be 10 this month and is anxious to party down! :) The baby is Jocelyn and she is soft, tnder, quiet, and then suddenly screaming, looud, and hillarious. She makes me smile! She is leaning towards drama like her bug sister and also is a preformer of grace like Audrie. She is always looking up to her sisters and just anxious to be like them. Audrie is her playmate, her closest friend, and the one she fights with the most. Breanna is the one she looks up to the lost and love sfor her to fix her hair and just spend time with her. Jocelyn is beauty, mischief, wonder, sweetness, and comic with a touch of teasing and a hint of fun! Together, the three of them are angels sent to this ole grandma to keep me young, on my toes, and to shower me with love! They are amazing!
