The Grand Kid's names on the blog!

I have decided that I am tired of calling 1 yr. old, 1 yr. old on the blog, and the baby, baby. So, from now on 1 yr. old will be called "Pinky" because that is what grandpa calls her, and the baby will be called "Fred" because that is what grandpa calls him.

My Sister

Boy, did I have a fun day yesterday. NOT! My younger sister had surgery on her neck yesterday to clear some bone spurs that were bothering her, and they also did some fusion work on C5 and C6 in her spinal column. She did very good during surgery, and then in recovery! They got her back to her room, and she did fine for a little while. I was talking to her, then noticed that she wasn't moving her right arm, so I asked to move it for me, and she did not do so well with that. She was also looking for button to push to give herself some pain medication. I don't think she got the meds, because then I noticed that she was just not responding to anything that was going on. I called to her a couple of times, then I started pushing the nurse button. The nurse came in and asked what was going on, and I said I don't know for sure, she is not responding to anything at all. So then the nurse started in saying her name and trying to get some kind of response out of her, nothing. So the nurse got on the phone and called for critical care nurse to come up immediatly, which she did, and we are all trying to get her to respond to anything, NOTHING! She didn't even respond to a finger prick. I do believe that she had a TIA ( mini stroke), because I also noticed a facial droop for about 10 minutes. The gist of it was she had gone into a coma, but they transfered her down to ICU while I went to pick my husband up from work, and I guess almost as soon as they got her down there, she snapped out of it. She still doesn't remember much of anything,even from last night, but she is doing much better today.

Sorry it's been so long!

Sorry it's been so long since the last post, but I did say that I probably would not post much. In fact, I have been considering shutting it down because I do not post much and I don't think anyone looks at it.

Baby boy is growing like a weed, up to 10 pounds now. What we thought was left over cord that was having trouble coming off, is actually a cyst that needs to be surgically removed. We see a surgeon next month. And the poor baby also has a double ear infection and thrush. So we are trying to get rid of all that.

I still don't know how to put up any pictures, so that's why there aren't any.

If I do end up shutting down, I will still look at the blogs that I look at every day and comment on them when needed.

Going's On!

First, we had a lovely Easter Sunday! Hubby, step-daughter, new baby, and I went to the Easter Vigil Saturday night, and baby boy got his first blessing. Sunday itself was very easy going. I fixed a breakfast casserole, then later I fixed the ham and side dishes for dinner. My oldest step-son came over for dinner, and he got to see his nephew. The whole day was rather relaxing!

Second, I thought my Vertigo had cleared up, I was mistaken. I just have not been feeling right since I stopped taking the medication. I also think that my blood sugar is out of whack. But I have no way of checking it. I try to watch my sugar because I was borderline diabetic when I was pregnant with my son.

That's it for now.

HAPPY EASTER

I hope everyone has a Blessed Easter day!!

Vertigo

Yes, I have it! It started on Wednesday Morning, and by Friday late morning I was in the emergency room to have Cat Scan done to make sure I had not had a small stroke(TIA)! No stroke and no bleeding in the brain. Thank You, Jesus!! I just have a bad case of Vertigo! I can't drive until it clears up, maybe 2 weeks.


In other news, we had to kick my daughter out of the house Thursday night, and now she is no longer allowed in the house after my son and son-in-law found drugs in the pocket of her jacket. I sure don't want my granddaughter finding that and trying to swallow it, thinking it to be candy, she could easily have died. It was speed! I don't want that garbage in my house!!

BABY HAS ARRIVED

Thomas James Kessler arrived at 2:30 a.m. this morning!

Weight:7lbs. 13 ozs.
Length:19 1/2 inches.

As soon as I figure out how to upload pics, I will.

Waiting on the Baby

We should have a baby this weekend! Mom has been having contractions off and on since yesterday afternoon.

Sick!! Again!

Myself, my son and granddaughter are all sick again. Step-daughter was sick last night, throwing up,and diareahha, son has the same thing, as does granddaughter. I, right now, just have the diareahha. This is getting ridiculous!

Looking for a Job!

Hubby has informed me that with so many people living in the house and only 2 incomes coming in, I have to find a JOB! So, I went out today and filled out a couple of applications. Hope to hear something from either one soon.

This and That

I got my new skirt yesterday, and immediatly put it on. It is very comfortable and covers very well, and I wear between a size 16 and 18! And is it long! Needless to say, I may buy some more.

I have finally been able to get dishes done since my sinks drained.

I got up early this morning to put some beans on to soak for 8 hours so I can cook them for dinner tonight, along with some corn muffins, and smoked sausage.

Changed the template on the blog back to the original one, I seem to like it best, and since I can;t figure out how to put anything else up as a background/wallpaper, this will have to do.

I colored my hair on Sunday afternoon, it looks better than it did. Then I got it cut yesterday, afternoon. It was so uneven, that I had to do something with it. I was trying to let it grow out, but it was getting in my face, and it really was not long enough to do anything with it, so I just got it cut. It may take a couple more cuts to get it all one length, then I may try to grow it out.

Misc.

O.K. sinks are unclogged. Yeahh!!

I have downloaded a different wallpaper, but can't figure out how to get it to the blog. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Blog Design

I have changed the template again, it looks a little better, at least there is some color to it now.

Water Pipes-Part 2

I now have water, both hot and cold, but, my sinks are still clogged!

Meatless Friday

My husband likes to observe Meatless Friday's during Lent, so last night we had Chinese food. Shrimp Egg foo Young, boy I do love that stuff!!

On another note, I remembered after yesterday's post on dresses, that I will have to buy another pair of jeans sometime soon so I can go riding on the motorcycle when it gets warm enough. I can't really wear a skirt or dress on the bike, so I have to have jeans for that. We also wear motorcycle gear,( helmet,pants, jacket and gloves.) And since I love to ride, I need jeans for that.

Blog Wallpaper

Where do you ladies get your wallpaper for your background on your blogs? They are so pretty. I would like to pretty up my blog some.

Water Pipes

Well, I have hot water. No cold yet. But now my sink is stopped up, and I have NO drain cleaner. UGH!!

I THINK I GOT IT! Part 2

Now, if only I can figure out how to do a different background and a left sidebar, I will be in good shape.

I THINK I GOT IT!

I think I have it figured out. Take a look!

Modest Dress

I have been reading a lot posts by women who dress modestly:e.g., skirts, dresses, NO PANTS. That sort of thing. I like what they are saying, and why they do it. I too have felt the Lord convicting me to dress more modestly lately, and right now I am wearing a wrap skirt that I bought last year from Vermont Country Store. It does not cover as well as I would like for it to, but it will do for now. I have ordered a wrap skirt from a Jewish site called Tznius.com, I am just waiting for it to come so I can try it and see how well it will fit.

I did have 1 pair of jeans that I was wearing quite often, but I got them caught on a nail and they pulled in the back, so they don't look very nice now, so I will not wear them and I refuse to buy anymore, mostly because they so expensive now, and I just can't find any that fit right anymore. I am fluctuating anywhere from size 16 to 20. The afore mentioned jeans were a size 20, and since I have lost about 10 pounds they are just a bit big. And, since my Doctor kindly informed me that I was to short for my weight, I need to lose about another 40 pounds. I am 5'5" and should only weigh about 125 to 130, I am at 187. NOT GOOD!! I am trying. I chase after the granddaughter.

Anyway, what I am tying to say, is that I like dressing modestly. It is a lot more comfortable!
