Bragging

Thought I would share cute things from each of the grandkids.

Rylee who is now 18 months old - went missing the other night. Mommy (Nyki) decided she was too quiet so she went to check on her and to go ahead and put her to bed because it was that time. She picked up her favorite stuffed animal and started looking for her blanket, she didn't find it in the living room where it was earlier. So she goes ahead and goes to Rylee's room and finds Rylee in bed covered with her blanket sound asleep. TOO SWEET! Hopefully she will always be that easy to get to bed - since she will have a new brother or sister this summer.

Trace who is now 2 years and 2 months - was leaned up against his Mommy (Britt) who is now 6 months pregnant and moved forward and turned to mommy and said. Andrew (baby in womb) is knock knocking on me. Which Andrew was kicking his big brother. Britt told him it was to say HELLO.

AC who is now on the down hill side of 3 racing towards grown came out of his room and told his mom (Britt) that nothing is wrong with Trace he's just in there screaming like a GIRL. Now some people may think this makes him sound sexist but he actually picked up that bit of a saying from me his GRANDMOTHER, when they squeal around the house I asked "Why are you screaming like a girl?" I'm thinking I need to find a new saying! Before I get him beat up by the girls in school.

Everytime I talk to the girls I'm reminded about how fast the little ones are growing and how WONDERFULLY SIMPLE life is for them. There's nothing greater than looking at life through a childs eyes!

To Baggly Go Where NO Man has Gone Before!

Well at least to Baggly go where No man from this family has ever gone before! Randy is home - a day late. He was supposed to be in Friday night at 11:30 p.m. but due to mechanical problems with his plane from Detroit to Cincinnati he missed his flight to Tampa. So he actually got in Saturday around 1 p.m. - his luggage well that was a different story. He was told that they would be here when he got in. They weren't - after much tracking they were located at airport code FRA - that for those of us who didn't know is Frankfort Germany. They are finally in Tampa - having seen a country that their owners would love to see. Maybe some day we can go also!

This week has already been CRAZY! I woke up on Sunday morning at 2:30 with a MIGRAINE to top all Migraines - no matter what I did I would only have a small time frame of release. I was afraid that I would live through it more than I was afraid that I would die from it! I felt better Monday morning so I came to work by 10 I was dying again - but had a 3 o'clock conference call so I tried to brave it out. I sent Randy an email to come get me prior to the actual end of the call and went home at 4. After taking 2 Tylenol sinuses, 2 Aleve and 2 Excedrin Tension within 30 minutes of each other it finally subsided enough for me to "Sleep" it off. Hopefully not to return.

The rest of my week consists of having to get billing done 2 weeks early this month - 2 more conference calls and everything else that is in a normal week. YUCK!!!!!!!!! But hey I can handle it my hubbies’ home and my world is righted again!

Fa ra ra ra ra - ra ra ra ra

'Tis the season to be .............

A. Stressed? I'm getting the feeling that lots of people are beginning to stress already from my family, to my friends, to my company (who just layed off a bunch of people) and even strangers I meet on the street.

B. Pushy? Obviously that is the way everyone in the stores and on the road are feeling because every place I've been someone has been obnoxiously pushy

C. Lonely? I guess that one is understandable especially for people who have lost loved ones this year or are living so far away from family.

D. Jolly? I think thankfulness should lead to Jolly-ness. We need to remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season. Not the GIFTS we are getting or giving.

Fa ra ra ra ra -ra ra ra ra.

Okay having had my speal about the season and been able to sing my favorite Christmas Carol from my favorite Christmas movie. I will get onto the whole blog update.

I have decided that Randy is not to be out of town the same week my boss Dave is on vacation - I cannot handle having no one to talk to during the day & during the evenings! I called and talked to my mom for almost 2 hours the other night which was nice. (Even though I must learn that is a long time when you haven't eaten supper and I need to switch ears every once in awhile or my right ear begins to actually ache and turns really red!) I also talked to Nyki & Shawn the same night.

I must also learn to take sleeping pills or something when Randy is gone 'cause I don't sleep very good without him and when I am sleeping I keep having nightmares. Like Tuesday night I kept dreaming that something was wrong and I couldn't get a hold of Shawn or Tasha - So Shawn got a phone call at 6:30 their time just to touch base with him, luckily he's used to my freaking out and was very patient about it.

Well that's kind of been my week. The weekend should be kind of crazy - I have AC & Trace tomorrow night, so mommy can watch daddy at his Softball Tournie. The boys normally go with them but they have stuffy noses and coughs and it's suppose to get cold (NOT LIKE TEXAS COLD) but cold for Tampa so they will hang with me and go to get Grandpa from the Airport if the parents aren't back in time. Randy is due in around 11:45 tomorrow night. Saturday night we will have the boys (and possible Julie's if her dad isn't feeling better) while parents have Christmas parties. We may bake cookies......hmmmmm. Send them home on Sugar & maybe some Mountain Dew! Then Sunday afternoon we have Ethan's birthday party so by Sunday night we will be exhausted!
