Old Maggi and MammyI can't believe that it is almost OCTOBER! Where have the days gone? It seems that I just can't get anything done and always doing something and nothing gets accomplished.
We made it to 6 years on Friday. Lon was sick so we didn't do anything. What's there to do that we would both enjoy? Go out and eat and thats about it. Oh well married life.
The car show was a success. Gma has now been home for 30 days. Today I got her out of the house first time since she came home from the care facility. She did fine going down the stairs but had to have me push her foot up coming up the stairs. She has two Dr.'s appointments this week so I told her she had to keep working on it. She wants to come over Sunday and I told her fine, but she had to do the stairs and work on raising her legs higher. She said she would. Gpa is out east visiting a horse track that we went to when I was young.
Amy starts college tomorrow. GOOD FOR HER!!!!!!! Just take a deep breath and everything will be fine. Like I told her "Don't sweat the small stuff and pick and choose your battles." Sarah is really getting big. Carson will be here in 6 weeks. Hard to believe that at Dawson's party in March we found out. Where did the time go? Megan likes her job at the bank and she is still going to Truman. She came down for a visit this weekend and to get the black truck that Gpa gave her. Ziggy is soooooo cute. And he is a good mannered beagle too. Buffy worked 50 house last week between the 3 jobs and went to school full time. She is exhausted. Don't see her much since she is busy busy busy. Oh yes and she colored her hair darker. It's not beautiful blonde anymore. I DON'T LIKE IT! She does and that's what matters.
Now for my boys. I kept Dawson for the last two Friday afternoons. He is quite a man. He plays in the rock pile by the garage. We blow bubbles. He asks me "mammy do you have any soda?" I have Dr. Pepper for him. Then he says "Mammy you have any chips and dip?" Answer, yes. Then lets have a chip and dip party. So we take these things to the deck and have a party. He plays rocks, blows bubbles and then we come in and read books. Well a week ago while he was laying down, Gpa Great called and needed me to take him something in Bolivar. Dawson was almost asleep but I got him up and off we went. When we saw Gpa I told Dawson to tell him THANK YOU for getting him out of a nap. Dawson said thank you. Well the smart boy remembered because, this week he was going to go play in the rocks and I said 20 minutes and then a nap. He went down the first stair on the deck and said gotta do bubbles, so rocks 15 mins then bubbles and then a nap. He stood there a minute and then came back up to the deck and said, "Okay, I'll take a nap till Gpa calls." He layed down but he never went to sleep and Gpa never called. After his rest he went outside and got in the yard where I couldn't see him. I yelled Dawson what are you doing? He came running and yelled back I'M PLAYING BALL. He probably thought dumb mammy can't you see I'm busy.
Wish Ezekiel was closer so I could have fun with him. I love talking with him on the phone. The husky little voice says "Hi Mammy, love you" Just melts my heart. He tells me all kinds of things on the phone. And he talks so plain when he is repeating things. Daycare is good for him with all the other kids. He is also pooping in the toliet. He told me big TURD. So funny. And when he laughs and squeals it is delightful. Wish I could just hug and squeeze and kiss him!!!!!
Haven't talked with Sheree or Lisa since the car show. Kasey, Sheree and Portia came as did Lisa. Trinity marched with the Hilcrest Highlanders. They put on a GREAT show. Everyone liked them. Portia didn't talk at all except love you and bye. But she was really loving to Papa and Mammy. That was so sweet. Her hair is still beautiful blonde and getting longer.
Well that about raps up the up date . No new pictures, no really big news. Just the same old same old stuff around here. Back to work tomorrow and start of another week of whining bitchy patients.
