18 years today

And like last year....we are several states apart from each other.  But the love is still there!!

I did it!!!!

I just killed a wood roach. Except for using roach spray and running like hell after I spray one....I don't think I have ever in my life been able to kill one. It was walking right towards me in my room. I took the lapboard my computer sits on, and had it walk up the board.....told Lori Lou to "move, now!" I took it to the hall and hit it with a shoe. THIS is totally amazing for me to have been able to do. You have no idea my fear of these roaches. My family knows.... I had no choice....I had to work on not being afraid cause if it stayed in this room.....I would be awake for days till it was found and killed. I am that bad about them being around me. Now....I just need my heart to slow down just a bit. Ha.

Lost

Here we go.....gonna put this out there for the universe and my wise  friends.

I no longer know what my purpose is in life.  I find myself floundering and lost and not sure what God wants me to be doing......so I can do it.

Let me try to explain....
*I don't have any wife things to do with Mr. Wonderful in another state.
*I don't have any mom things to do....my kids are all adults themselves. :)
*My daughter duties are about to end for now....parents moving 4+ hours away.
*G=kids are old enough to take care of themselves, really.
*Very little scrapbook stuff goes on around here, it seems.  Miss my Austin area ladies.
*About to move 30+miles from here so not putting a lot of time into AA when I know I will totally be leaving the area and need to locate a home group.
*Same thing with church.....going to wait till I get through the move to find a group.
*Retired, so no one is waiting every day for me to come to work to solve all their problems.  :)

My two main things right now?  Trying to help a little dove heal enough to fly again.....and loving on Lori Lou.  :)   Easy stuff.

Yes.  I am lost lately.

I'm sure He will show me, when it is the right time.

Sneak....sneak.....sneak

Score a point for the sneaky Grammie!

G=son1 has one of those preteen bedrooms....the kind you can get lost in if you simply walk through the door. Scary stuff. It has been that way almost the whole time I have been here.

Clean your room. Okay. Hours later, is it clean? Yes, sort of. And of course, it never is! Ha.

Well he is going to go stay with Dad in two days.....the room simply must be clean.

The answer? Hey G=son1.....how about I hang out in your room while you get it all sorted out and picked up? He looked at me like I was an alien. hehehe But.......about 45 minutes later......we had it picked up and presentable. Simply sitting there and talking and laughing encouraged him to follow through till finished.

He had such nice smile when he looked around at his room.

Now, let's time how long it lasts. hahahahaha

Party??

ZAPPPPP!

Ruff Day

Mr Awesome was having a rough day at work.  He said my text message was the smile he needed.  So I sent him a picture of me smiling....and one of Lori Lou.
