WOW what a Weekend
Hey guys I wanted to tell y'all I'm okay!!!!!! I have had a bad week and just used my blog to voice my feelings - I did not mean to make ANYONE/EVERYONE worry. I thank each of you for the reminder that you love me - I have never doubted your love just my lovability.
I've had a really good weekend and it's only Saturday night.
Last night I went to WOW - (Women of Worship) the talk was over Fear and how fear is from Satan - we were talking about the things we are afraid of and someone behind me said "Roller Coaster" and I thought not me well unless they are going backwards or in the dark. Then I was thinking maybe the reason why I have been so tired of the roller coaster ride of life lately is that I've been riding in the dark. I have decided and made the committment to God and now in front of each of my readers to "have a light upon my path" by hiding his words in my heart.
Today we had a paint day at the church - we were painting "the ocean" scene and we got SO MUCH done even AC painted a crab and did a wonderful job with the help of his friend Emily (a 7 year old) who did touch up to make sure it was "dark" enough. Anyway the fellowship with fellow believers and the having "face painting" tiime and time again was very uplifting!
Well I need to put the boys to bed it's 10:18 here. But may I take this time to point out that my "hinting" in a previous blog worked wonders - I got pictures of Trae - Trae's nursery and Emily pregnant from my sister. I also heard from PaTeve (Poppa Steve but grandsons call him PaTeve) that he didn't have any pictures so I don't feel neglected. It also worked to get my Brother-in-Law Greg to think about getting me pictures of his grandkids. So all in all my hinting was a success (But actually I think picking up the phone and asking them to send me pictures would have been effective.) Good night one & all.
Well since AC wanted to feed Mouse (the virtual dog) about 50 bones it is now closer to 11 and I'm putting the boys to bed........maybe they will take a good nap for mommy & daddy tomorrow.

Updates
Randy went to the doctor yesterday and was told he was healing nicely. The doctor was impressed with his mobility of his lift arm - he still cannot lift any weight with that arm but he can now move the arm above his head. Luckily for me he can still hug and hold with his right arm!
Well life is still chugging on and I'm trying to as Mary Oakley once told me on a rollar coaster - "keep my eyes on the track" and with my eyes on track (God) there are no surprise turns so I'm beginning to lose that SICK feeling and may even reach a point soon that I say WOW what a ride.
My sister has a 1 week old new grandson - would post pictures but Aunt Twila does not have any yet. (If that was too subtle try this SEND PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!) Stephen & Emily had a son June 1 - Stephen Franklin Austin III known as Trae - last I heard Momma & baby were doing fine. Mom & Shawn tell me he is too cute - dark black hair (lots of it) but will refrain to judge until I see for myself so (SEND PICTURES). LaZane already had 2 grandsons and the last time I saw them they were also too cute but (SEND PICTURES) since I don't get pictures and they don't blog I don't know 1st hand (SEND PICTURES). I should be getting to see the two older ones Lil' Justin & Josh (SEND PICTU'RES) at Rylee's birthday party. Can you believe our little granddaughter will be a year old on the 18th (YOU CAN BELIEVE IT BECAUSE I POST/SEND PICTURES).
That's it for now folks.

It's Me and My thoughts
First let me say the thoughts published here may not be the thoughts I have tomorrow or had yesterday but today these are my thoughts - they do not reflect anything more than the moment so PLEASE DO NOT READ ANYTHING INTO THEM! Life sucks! There I've said it - everytime things seem to be going in an upwards motion I discover that I was on a rollar coaster attached to the chain pulling me up just so it can top the hill and plunge me lower than I was before. I don't know what God is trying to tell me prior to letting me get off this crazy ride but I'm to the stage that I'm not having fun anymore - I'm feeling really sick over it. I know if I hang on and ride longer I will get past this stage because I've been here so many times before but right now I feel really alone on this ride. Maybe that is what God is trying to teach me is to hang onto the ride (HIM) with all my might and he will keep me on track - maybe I'm just trying to test the sides of the track and make my own way too much and he's showing me that if I stay in the middle and hold on it's smoother. All I know is that since Randy's accident I haven't been able to get rid of the feeling that there is a REALLY DARK CLOUD hanging over my head. I have noticed more grey hair, I've been gaining weight (probably because I have been eating - you think?) but I just know I am at the bottom of a really low plunge on my roller coaster and am not even sure I want to climb again knowing that there will be another plunge.
I've been counting my blessing and there are SO many of them so I'm not sure why I have the "funk" going but I do and would appreciate all prayers to help me get out of them. Let me describe my "funk" you know the saying - "I was sad because I have no shoes until I met a Man with no feet" my funk would say - well at least he couldn't stub his toe! Now you know what kind of funk I'm talking about. And my dear sweet husband is really the greatest!!!!!! He loves me no matter where I am on the ride - even when I spend us into the POOR FARM - or when I've saved us a bazillion dollars. So for Randy I am very thankful (and for all the rest of my friends and family I am very thankful and ask that you just hang on while I get myself back into a "Twila Zone"). Love you all.
