Just Another Day With Me

Tired

I think. I'm going to start going to concerts alone.  I'm tired of feeling used.  I do everything else alone anyways.  I may as well try concerts.  I like being by myself.  I don't really need friends.  

I think, I relate to their songs so well, because when I'm feeling hurt or upset, Rob Thomas phrases everything just right.   I wanted the first day of 2011 to be good, but it ended up being scary and upsetting and then to top it off, I felt used on the way home, obligated and it just sucks.  I'm tired of it. 

 

 

Yeah, Thats My Kid...

My daughter demanded that I take her picture today.  Since she's been ducking out of and hiding from my camera for the last six years I figured that I couldn't turn down the opportunity.  All photos taken out on our farm.

Happy 100th

Yesterday we drove to South Eastern Oklahoma to celebrate my Great Aunt's 100th birthday - then back to the Choctaw Labor Day Festival for more festivities with my older kids.  Its been a tiring weekend.  Today I am sick, actually I started yesterday and by 10 pm I felt awful.   It was a nice day. 

But now I'm tired and ready to be home for a while.  I plan on painting my hallway this week and cleaning (deep purging) the boys room.  

Bittersweet..at her 90th birthday with her three sisters in 2000.  My Grandma passed away in 1993. 

My daughter and cousin in 2000.... and now! What a change! 

Big Scare

My Husband's Grandma is here visiting.  I knew I was tense and uneasy last night...well Grandma fell and to borrow a quote she couldnt' get up.  We had to have help to get her up, but THANK GOD she is fine. It was so scary.  I was shaking and I just love Grandma so much.   But she's fine.  I have to say one thing my adrenalin was pumping and my asthma went away. Just appreciating that Grandma is ok 

 
 

Bedtime

Tired...need to go to sleep... kind of had too much dew and ice cream.  Enjoying summer, trying to relax tomorrow I need to get some stuff done in the kitchen and exercise, I've been slacking.  Blogging here has been lax but I've been busy with my other page.   I actually don't mind, I'm keeping this one personal. 

I had a great weekend with my husband, which after everything that happened this year it is SO NICE to honestly say I had a wonderful time with my husband and my kids at the same time (generally that has been mutually exclusive).   It was so good to have a family outing without guilt, and it was fun and peaceful.  I enjoyed it.   

But its bedtime.   A photo....

 
 

Cake.... Card...Roses

From my Mom... she didn't realize that my feelings were hurt, she didn't think I wanted cake because I'd been so sick.   I didn't want to make her feel bad though, but it made me feel better.   I think she liked her big birthday flower arrangement though.  Oh, we ate it too....Ok, well maybe saying something was good because it beat crying off an on all last week and I really talked to my little sister which was good for both of us.  I am so tired, just home from the Chickasaw National Recreation area...don't know why I'm tired I didn't swim but the kids had an amazing time!     

 
 

Good Day

Yesterday was a great day with my youngest son, we went to Oklahoma City, walked the downtown and Bricktown area then we went to the OKC Memorial,  and finally ended up at the mall watching the cutest movie "Furry Vengeance" it was perfect for Justin, he laughed out loud all the way through the film, he was so cute, which made the movie so funny to me to watch him enjoy it. 

Then we headed off to Target and got on the interstate to see a plane making its descent into Will Rogers world Airport (its so nice our airport is named after a man who died in a PLANE CRASH) and two minutes after I told him that it was probably his dad,  I had the text that he had landed.   So we picked up Dad and went home.    This morning was the lazy morning in bed and now its time to clean.   

Happy Mother's Day Everyone.  Its been a cool and cloudy weekend, never my favorite weather.  I hope it improves.   

Prayers Requested...

I just found out my Cousin's husband had a stroke and is in intensive care, paralyzed - in Panama.  He's a minister too, and they have three kids under eight.   So, please pray for Philip and Alicia.  My other Sister in Law's Sherry's little brother  was in a car accident and was severely injured too and need prayers.   Such difficult times.   I am surprised, because my cousin's husband isn't much older than me and its always disturbing to hear about things like strokes in people in their thirties.   

My husband will also be flying again this weekend,  it seems with his new job many flights may be out of those small airports.   Ugh... makes me nervous, I'm just not used to it,  so I'm worried.   

Red Rock Canyon Day

What a beautiful day the last day of April was.   After a slow start this morning the kids and I made the 100 mile journey north to Red Rock Canyon in Hinton Oklahoma. We stopped for lunch in Hinton and everyone was well fed by the time we got to the State Park.  The kids were hoping for swimming they found a canyon with rocks to climb.   We hiked two trails and really had a nice afternoon.  We got home sun burnt and ready for summer.   Next Friday we are going to another park.   I think there are so many state parks and beautiful places to go in Oklahoma, that I want to see more of my own state.  The added bonus is any pictures I have of the landscape is a teaching tool for my Oklahoma History class.   I certainly enjoyed today.  I remember (and still live with that dread) of taking three kids out on my own at once.   A few years ago this would not be possible.   I remember when we were living out of state and I had three small children.   I love that they are all old enough to take places and have a nice day!  

  

Baby Shower

Went to a baby shower today, waiting the arrival of my Cousin's newest addition in June. A very nice day,
