HUP DAY

YEA111 Hup day. Two more days till the weekend. I do have a busy week end. Saturday I am helping a coworker out and taking call and on Sunday we are going to San Marcos.
Can not believe I have gotten behind with posting.
First, the cat situation. Saturday night when we got home from Shiner, I actually had a message on the phone from Mrs. Labay apolizing for being so ugly on the phone. She said she was a bitch. I agree. I need to call her back but have not got around to it. Tomorrow if nothing comes up after work I am going to bring the three littel black and white kittens to Kleckas and see if I haave any luck. If I do not give all away then Friday I will go to Wal Mart. Got to make my big sign "FREE KITTENS".
I made water areobics on Tuesday and walked 2 miles tonight. Tomorrow I have water areobics again. At least I am trying. It makes me feel better just to know I did exercise.
Better close now. Timer about ready to go off. I am "washing that gray away" . Timer went off 20 minutes is over. Love all mom

Poor Emily

I do not know why this things always happen to one person. She called me from the ER. She had stepped wrong and broke her foot. She was at the house by herself and could not get anyone on the phone. Finally one of her friends called her back. I was at water aerobics. Usually we would be talking on the phone. They put a splint on it and she has to see an orthropedic doctor tomorrow.
The frustrating thing that happen to me today is my neighbor complaining because my cats come to her house to eat. She said that our dog will not let them get food or water because they are so hungry. I told her that Rober gives the dry cat food every morning and in the afternoon when I get home there is still food there. She said that they need wet cat food, especially in the summer. I told her that we also had 2 buckets of water for them to drink out of. Needless to say I was pretty upset. I believe Robert is right. He said that they are getting old and grumpy. Guess which neighbor.
Of course the Labays. So I am going to get rid of all these cats to keep peace in the neighborhood and never get another one unless I feed it wet cat food all the time.
Enough of that. Better go now. take care, love mom

TIME OUT

I am taking time out now every day to check the blogs. Everyone must be pretty busy this week. Not to many updates. Amanda I was going to make a comment on yours and I forgot. I love the pictures of the boys on the top with your title.
This has been a good week. Tonight I was going to go to my first night of water aerobics and you would know it we have thunder storms in the area. I will try again on Thursday. Kids remember those swimming pool days. You were always waiting for me to get home to take you to the swimming pool. I spent many of hours out there.. Good , good memories. Now it will be your turn with your kids. What comes around goes around they say.
Tomorrow is hump day already. We hope to clean the yard this weekend. The grass is growing so fast. I really do not have to much to say, so I will close for now. Take care, love mom

Surfside

Believe it or not Dad and I made it to surfside!!!!! We had a great time with Billy , Amanda and the boys. That Garret loves the water. I sure Amanda will have some pictures on the blog. I was planning on posting more, but Susan and Ann have called me and it is 10:35 p now and boy am I tired. I already took to Motrin for the aches and pains. Not use of playing in water all afternoon with a 3 year old that wants to play "motorboat". That is Grandma pulling him throught the water. Take care Love you, mom

JOHN AND MELANIE

John and Melanie now have a blog also!!!. He e-mailed everyone his site. It is heimannsinmontana.blog.com. He has pictures of all of them...Yes, baby too. so check it out.
Record breaking week. For 3 days now I have walked. Susan, I do not believe I will get new clothes. It is more like the ones I have will fit better or I will be able to were others that were alittle to small.
Tired to night. Will post more later. Love mom

My Turn

After reading all of your blogs it is time for me to post.
Believe it or not I walked yesterday 2 miles. Charlette and I started walking and talking and after a while I asked how many laps are we going to make? She said 8 which will be 2 miles. So I kept on walking and talking. Boy, was I tired afterwards. Slept good that night. Today I rest. Charlette had to go somewhere tonight, so tomorrow we will hit it again. Work is fine.
23 more days till vacation!!!!!! love mom

BUSY DAY

Sunday I know is to be a day of rest. I did rest some. Today I attacked out bedroom. Robert started working on his truck this morning around 9:30 and actually finished it this afternoon. It is really going to be nice to put everything in the back. Toby and Deanna did the same thing when they came down. When he finished the truck he came in and helped me move the furniture around. Where does all the dust come from!!!! Even Robert could not beleive how it collects. Whe put the bed on the other side of the wall like it always was. I feel good about getting all that done. Now Robert is mowing the lawn. After that we will be finished for the day. 25 more days to go. Dad and I are planning on stopping in Lubbock for a break if plans do not change. I hope all had a good day today. Love mom

Saturday

What a nice day we had today. I did not do much of anything. Slept late, went to see one patient her is town, got some food from Los Amigos, came home and ate, the took a nap. Pretty lazy. Then Robert and I took the table that we had use for Shelby's birthday party back to Annas and Eddies in Wharton. I finally got everything put up from the party.
We then drove to Rosenberg and got the material for the cover Robert wants to make for the back of the truck for out trip. We want to put all our luggage back there so we can have the back seat to sleep or just change positions. Just 26 more days.
Tomorrow we will get plates from the Fireman Fried Chichen dinner in Hungerfor. I will not have to cook all weekend. Nothing more going on. take care, love mom.

Better Day

Today was diffently a better day. I felt like myself again. Last night I had gone to Sylvia and James house and had supper with them and Mary Ann and Johnny. Sylvia's friend from Cuero husband has cancer and has been at MDAnderson Rotary House for 3 weeks now. Sylvia had it arranged for Monica Kubena to take some groceries to her today and for some reason Monica never called her back. I home everything is alright with Tara. Anyway, I told her I would go with her and James to bring the care packages to them. I was so glad we went. Nelda was happy to see us and get some new food. It is a hotel room they are staying in that has a microwave, icebox, and dishwasher. So she can cook in her room. I feel so sorry for her. Her husband will probably need a stem cell transplant which means 3 more months in Houston. I told Sylvia we will have to fix up anothe care package.
On the way home I introduced them to Joe's Crab Shack. GOOOOOOOOOOOd shrimp. We were going to go to Olive Garden but we missed the exit. This was a good substitue. We will remeber the exit next time. We made notes.
Yea tomorrow is Friday. Will feel good to have a weekend.
Still got cats. This morning I was talking to dad on the phone and he said, "There goes gray bear moving her kittens again." They were all eight in the dog house during the rain. Now she was trying to move them under dads lawn mower. I guess she did not like the older kiitens teaching bad habits to her babies. Tomorrow if it is not raining I can go check them out. Got to go now. So tired. Love you all Mom

Still not Myself

Believe it or not I went to bed at 9:00 o'clock pm last night and sleep till this morning . Only got up a couple of times to go to the bathroom. I still do not feel myself. I am enjoying the rain, but I think it is making me lazy. Maybe I just have not caught up on my rest from our trip to Lubbock. No one got laid off today, so it was a good day. Better to get to bed and start again tomorrow like Susan says. Love you all , mom

Closing

Last post for today. I suddenly feel nauseated. I am going to try to get to bed. Hope I feel ok i the am. I do not want to do what you did Ann. Love mom

Monday on Tuesday

That is what happens when you have a holiday on a Monday. Had to do catch up at work today. It went by fast. We have 10 admissions for tomorrow!!! yea! Our census has been down and one of the branch managers said that she is coming down on Wednsesday. If our census was not better or more admissions, she was going to start laying off. Stress work that is for sure. So our numbers should look good with 10 new admissions, so we will see what tomorrow brings. Enough of that.
It has rained all afternoon here so we got some much needed rain. I do not have to water tonight. One more day in May and believe it or not June already. Almost half the year gone. That is all that happen today. Just work. Got to go make a salad for supper . Love mom

Closing for the Day

It has been a good day. Susan, I hope Justin starts feeling better. Ann, I hope work was not bad to night. Deanna, did not hear from you today. I hope you had a great day. Amanda, glad you and Bill made it home with your family. Back to work tomorrow, but that is ok. Good weekends bring a good work week. Love mom

Memorial Day

We have done exactly what we said we would do. Slept late and had a big breakfast about 10:30. Then I started working. You know your mother ----It was change day!!! I had Dad at home to help and he was very helpful. I cleaned up the computer room. It looks great. Then I rearranged the living room. It looks great. Than I decided to rest. Wrong thing to do. Now I can not get started again. It is going to be 4:00 clock so it is alright to stop. We put a small roast in oven in a brown and serve bag so it should be done by six. I think I am going to go work in the yard now since it is cloudy and feels good outside. Taco is not going outside. This morning he found something to roll in and I had to shampoo him four times before I could not smell whatever that was. I also have some dog perfume to put on him. So no outside. Bill just called. I was glad to him from them. They had a great time and I am looking forward to reading about it later. Let me hear how your Memeoral Days went. Love you, , mom

FINISHED

Now it is 1:oo am and I have read everyones blogs. Dad is reading on the patio. He got some new books in Lubbuck. I guess I will go on the bed and let him relax. All have a great holiday today. love mom

UPDATE

I can not believe it has been so long since I have posted. Here is an update. We just made it back from Lubbock---500 miles! We had a great trip. Taco was restless on the way up, but on the way back he was so tired that he slept all the way. In matter of fact we were only a few miles from Anns when he went to sleep. It was like having a child with us -- potty stops and drinks of water! He was so glad to get home. This is a practice run for our big trip in July to Montana. Like Dad said, when we are coming home from Montana we will get to Lubbock and say almost home! Dad is taking a shower and I took time to post. I hope all have a great Memorial holiday. We plan to sleep late and do as little as possible. Take care and I promise I will post sooner. Love mom

SATURDAY CLEAN UP

Justin made the big walk!!!!! We now have an accountant in the family.
Susan did a great job with the meal. I was very impressed. The only problem we had was Taco was alittle out of place. We put him in the bathroom when we went to graduation and he torn the carpet edge up. Next time I will remember to bring his kennel. We made it home about 1:00 Saturday and then I went to town to buy a gift for one of my friends that had graduated from nursing school. I foun Bernice at the store visiting with her mother and had a great visit with her. That was the fun part of the day along with having breakfast at Ihop with the Davis's. Now that was great. I have not had to eat all day.. I will have chicken and spagetti for supper since Susan had some left. Susan, I am also going to freeze some in small containers to take to work.
Now I am cleaning house. I wonder why I have all these little colored dots all over the floor still. I guess that they did not all fall in the ice cream dessert!!!!. Any way mopping and vaccuming are not my favorite things so I am taking a break now. I just have the utility room left to do. Next week I voluntered to be on call on Saturday and Sunday, so I have to clean today.
Well, now we can coast for a while..... We had showers, birthday party, and graduation all in the last few weeks. Next big thing is our trip to Montana. That is why I am working more in May and June to get the extra cash. You know how that is.
Well, I guess I rested enough. Back to Cindrella work.
Love mom

BUSY DAYS

I can not get caught up on any thing. It seems like first of all is the rest. May 1st when Deanna was still here I started being on call. One afternoon I did not get home till 9:30 because I had visits after work. Then another day I did not get home till 7:00. Again I had to make a visit after work. Friday I left from work to go to San Marcos. I helped with Margaret's birthday party all day. I left there at 6:30 and got home at 9:30. Had to make a stop in Eagle Lake to get information from the nurse who had taken call for me that Saturday. Then Sunday I was on call and made visits. Tuesday of this week Mrs. Bucek and I went to Dillards shopping and I did not get home till 10:00. Tonight I had to get ready for the next two days. Tomorrow right after work Sylvia is picking me up and we are going to a Ladies Night in Victoria with Mona. It is through where she goes to the doctor I think. Then, Friday I will leave work aboout 2:30 to get home and leave to San Marcos for that specail occassion. Saturday we will come home and then Sunday we will go to Aunt Shirly's for Mothers Day. Next week i am excited because after work on Friday I will go to Amandas and we will got to a ladies lecture. So you see, when Dad works, I stay busy.
Nealy's father died today at 5:30. Last Wednesday morning he fell in the kitchen and had bleeding in the brain. He was on a ventilator. Nealy is Medical Power of Attorney so she was having to make all the decisions. She had a tought week. Remember her in your prayers.
