Friday Fragments

It's Friday-YAY! I haven't played along with Friday Fragments in a long time and since that's all I seem to be as of late...one big walking fragment, I'm joining in today...a quick disclaimer to my wonderful male readers you may wanna skip over the first 2 fragments-of course saying that just prolly made you wanna read them all the more...but you were warned...just sayin...

♥ I have 2 daughters they are the joys of my life except the week prior to a certain time of the month. I mean I can barely tolerate ME a week before a certain time of the month. Factor in those two and it is a cat fight that could rival Uma Thurman and Daryl Hannah (Kill Bill Volume 2). Only thing missing is a black mamba snake.

♥ Let's talk leggins... yanno those thicker than tights,footless,typically made of lycra and oh so comfy attire? Well I own a pair, I love them...one of my childrens, who shall remain nameless, says to me... hey MOM nineteen eighty called they want their clothes back...REMIND me to NEVER wear certain articles of clothing during a certain teenagers time of the month! VICIOUS I tell you....cycles that is, not one of my oh so sweet daughters...


♥ My son recently attended a Church man retreat for a weekend, a cool rainy weekend-that he under packed for-wouldn't listen to me when I offered helpful advice about long sleeves and trash bags, he came home soaking wet,exhausted and covered in poison ivy...but it was worth it, he has been the kindest, most polite, charming young man. It is like I have a different child. I had considered sending him to military school or signing him up to be on the show Worlds Strictest Parents. But now I have the youth Pastor on speed dial... who knew all I needed to do was drop him off in the middle of nowhere, when rain is forecasted with a bunch of 7th-12th graders to get him to realize his status on the totem pole...


♥ So much has happened over the past month I forgot to shamelessly brag that my Abby made the BA Varsity cheer squad for the 2010-2011 school year. So let me take a moment and say Abs we are so PROUD of you, we may have to take out a second mortgage, sell my car and start riding bikes,eat more ramen to pay for this year of cheer but dagnabit it will all be worth it watching you cheer from outside the gates during Friday night lights...I kid I kid Love you Abby *RAH*


♥ My Grandma aka Ena got a hearing aide,she fought it, said she didn't need no stinkin' hearing aide. She has complete hearing loss in one ear and the other ear needed a hearing aide and let me tell you just one reason why...I lost my ena in wal*mart one day, I only turned around for a second then *POOF* she was gone. Jess and I split up walking around the store calling out her name Ena, Enaaaa, ENAAAAA....all I could think was great my family will never forgive me for loosing our Grandmother-it didn't matter that some little 4 year old in the bra and panty section was mocking me by saying Ena Ena or that people were giving me strange looks...so I do what any good grand daughter would do... walk up to customer service and beg them to issue a code Adam, they looked at me like I was crazy but srsly I had visions of her wandering around the parking lot with her cart of stolen groceries and I didn't have bail money...They offered to page her over the loud speaker...Elvira, Elvira Shirley please come to the CS desk your party is waiting...she never came....My cell phone rings and Jess says she has her cornered in the automotive department...I rush back there Thankful we found her and ask her what she is doing in automotive....HUH? she couldn't hear me...I told her we had been paging her over the loud speaker...HUH? she says...when my heart rate returned to normal I very loudly said WHY ARE YOU IN AUTOMOTIVE...her reply...I'm looking for elastic I have a pair of pants that are too big and I am going to put in some elastic...

♥ Just call me Mrs Robinson...I have a serious crush on Jason Ritter...

My confession for today: Only 4 more weeks of school left *squeals* I am SO ready for Summer!

Life... it's just a rough draft...

*disclaimer* this post is all over the place-meaning I'm a nervous wreck-read at your own risk*

I really dislike doom and gloom but sometimes life deals you your hand and you have to make the most of it. I like to think of myself as a strong person, a realist even, a never let 'em see you sweat kinda gal... even though 'secretly' I am the biggest freaker-outer you will ever have the pleasure of meeting.

Through everything we have been told over the past two weeks, I kept my sweaty pits and nerves at bay while secretly at night I would cry into my pillow-it's not that I don't wanna show emotion...believe me I can get 'fired up' real quick but rather I have been trying to be strong...strong for my sisters,strong for my children...just strong. Strong is over-rated ya'll...

I call my daddy 2 or 3 times a day to remind him how great I think he is-to tell him I love him how very much I Love Him,we spent Easter with him, our entire family...it was fun...it was what we all needed. BUT we need more...more time,more days like Sunday,more memories....more more more...it's not fair...he's only 63...we all live on borrowed time I guess...

I got sick on Easter-I thought it was nerves then Abby got sick as well, then Tuesday Reese starts feeling bad...we can't be around daddy IF we are sick. So I have not been able to go down and stay with him...he is pretty much home-bound he will get out and ride his 4-wheeler to get his mail(which he probably shouldn't be doing-BUT are you gonna tell him no? me either!) He doesn't drive now,which means someone has to take him food and or come get him and take him to town...us country folk say 'goin to town' I may live in the city but I will always be a country girl at heart....it will always be...goin to town...

To say I am scared is an understatement...to say I am disappointed that I haven't been able to stay with daddy is also an understatement...so last night when I called him, he asked me to contact MD Anderson in Houston for a second opinion, I knew I could tackle that...Daddy is a fighter...so now we wait for MDA to get all his medical records and see if they think they can help him...I hate waiting...but I did what I could...

I know how bad things are, but I have to keep the hope alive and have faith, in the meantime the realist in me comes out and knows there are things we must face and deal with...like funeral arrangements,music for the celebration of ones life and I wrote my first obit last week...yes full of my bad grammar & poor punctuation skills-that I was once mocked for and I left important things out-the paper is covered in doodled ♥hearts♥...but it is just a rough draft...isn't that what we all are...a rough draft...of something bigger and better to come? I must have faith that it is...

Can I ask a favor? Please keep my dad in your thoughts and Prayers...please...I don't like all this sadness I have been posting, I am trying to re-find my happy,my weird sense of humor,my posts about my lively,crazy but lovable childrens, Lord Knows I'm trying...
