My Little Man just made my day I got an e-mail from Josh this morning ( He turned 22 yesterday) never been so happy in my life to get an e-mail. and I was surprized.

He says it’s not so bad .but what else can he say, and says time is flying by and he has 6 more months to go I will not stop worrying till he is home and I can see and touch him.

He said Nana I AM GOING TO BE A DADDY like everybody don’t already know he is so excited about it sure hope he gets home for the birth of his child he will be a great Dad out of all the kids he is the most loving and careing one of all , I never would have thought he would join the Marines , but he says he is doing what is right as long as he is safe I am happy .

Not much going on here Christmas just afew days away and people are rushing here and there doing last minute shopping I need to go into town today but not for Christmas shopping I have already taken care of all that I am going to do and of course most of it had to be mailed, I made stocking for all the little ones and stuffed them so aleast they will all get something .

                            

put their names on them had to hang them to dry so of course I took a picture of them still have the five here but didn’t have to mail them so no need to hurry with them.

Man, Nov, Dec, and Jan. are loaded down with birthdays I think there about twenty and maybe more if I stopped to count them all, but my first three children were born in Jan. and my first two grandchildren were born in Jan and little did I know that , that was just a start, I had my first grandson for 6 years before anybody else showed up and then had 4 new ones the same year, guess everybody was trying to catch up 

I am pretty sure I won’t make it back here before Christmas so heres hoping each and everyone one of you have a

 BLESSED AND MERRY CHRISTMAS

LOVE AND LIGHT-STARWOLF

Thought I would try and visit this morning, been busy getting stocking and gifts ready for all the little one big kids will just have to wait are now most of them have little one of their own now so I will just worry about the little ones , of course that means shopping and packing and mailing it all to them as I will not be making the trip up there this year .

Sadie Lynn and her Mom are both doing great Miss Rayne has pulled her off the bed yet but she wants her thinks she ios a baby just for her , Sadie Lynn is almost as big as Rayne.

Weather here just can’t make up it’s mind what it is going to do in the last two weeks we have had Snow ( for here that rare ) rain, Sunshine and now we are socked in with fog, but hey it is going to up to 70 degrees today.

Well doesn’t take long to bring this up to date WOW my life is so exciting these days.

Hope everyone has a wonderful and happy Christmas

Got new great-grandbaby this morning at about 8:40 am Sadie Lynn came into our lives -Welcome baby Girl

                                      

                                                  8 lbs   8 ozs  20 inches

                                                 

                                            

Well Josh is in Afghanistan and we will not be able to talk to him till after Christmas even tho he will have his phone can’t use it there but hopefully we can get mail from him, his wife went to the doctor and the baby is due July 15th maybe he will be home by then ( I just have to try and hold it togather and pray for him ) his wife is not feeling well ” morning sickness” so she is really down in the dumps she really wants him with her but they knew how it would be when they made the decision to have a baby now I can understand her wanting to do it now, but it is going to be hard on her and lonely too, it is hard enough having your first baby but knowing where your husband is and worrying over him and your emotions are already all over the place so we will have to keep an eye on her and the baby too.

Well we both have been really sick the last couple of weeks around here but we are getting better don’t think it was the flu, but whatever it was it wasn’t fun, I am still weak and have a cough and my head is still stuffy but on the mend I hope I hate being sick

Miss Rayne had her first birthday ( damm has it been a year already) she has been walking for months and now she thinks she can sing , she sang to me on the phone ( it was suspose to be ” The Fireman” ) but sounded like little piggys .

                             

                                 Chocolate Frosting baby

She still doesn’t have much hair but aleast its dark so you can see she has some, her Moms was blond so you could hardly tell she had any hair for a couple of years, now her hair is real dark .

The new baby hasn’t made her mind up yet when she is coming, but any day now she will show up she is due this week so I am waiting on the call. I wanted to be there for her Mom but I just am not up to making the trip, so get here safe Sadie Lynn guess she will be our Thanksgiving Baby.

Well I am outta here hope you all have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.

Well Josh was on top of the World yesterday his wife told him they were having a baby, ( I say hold on kids those early pregancy tests are not always right ) but I pray that it is , the boy was over the moon he was so thrilled, he was home for afew day last month before he had to go back and get his affairs in order before shipping out and he told me they wanted to have a baby so now that she has told him they are having one he would be heartbroken if later they find out the test was wrong I know most of those test or right on but NOT always Josh is such a loving sweet young man it is hard for me to realize that he is a Marine thats the last place I ever thought he would be But they do surprise ya, I am proud of him but I can not help but worry and pray. Thank you all for your prays not just for Josh but for all our men and women in service to our Country ( Yeah I know loving old grandmothers never see their babies as be that tough)

                                            

Well the week end went pretty good until last night went L took a head dive to the floor I was sitting in my chair watching the last of nascar and he was in the kitchen behind me and I heard a load bang and looked back and all I saw was his feet up in the air so I jump up and run to check on him and his head is on the floor his feet in the air and he is out like a light so I pulled the chair back to get his feet down and roll him over and try and wake him up and he is like a wet noodle and he was soaking wet I try and get him up to see what happened and if he is alright and out he goes again will then I call 911 because I need some help and don’t know what is wrong with him , I get them on the phone and  tell them all I can and then try and get his robe off to cool him down and he starts telling me he is okay but he can’t get up and I try and help him and back to the floor he goes, so then I just made him stay there till I can get some help , Heck I didn’t know if he had had a stroke or hit his head or what, it was a little scary for awhile , well help got here and they checked him out and we think it was because he had taken a large does of nyquil and a couple of aspirins and might have went to sleep but when he fell he hit his head on the way down and knocked himself out, because he was out, I mean really out ! but he seems alright this morning and has gone to work, of course he didn’t want to talk about this morning , But he will hear about it this afternoon some people just never read are take meds the way they are menat to be taken and he is one of the worst.

                    MY LIFE IS JUST ONE BIG DRAMA AFTER ANOTHER

Okay enough of my crap I am outta here and will visit to say hi to all and hope to find you all well and happy

LOVE AND LIGHT————STARWOLF

I always have the best intentions when I come on here to blog, of keeping up my blog and staying in touch with people here, but seems life always gets in the way, and with so many things going on around me it is hard to keep this up so I am here when I can be and then I am just not

Now that maded alot of sense didn’t it , of course you can tell if I am here or not.

Josh is shipping out on the 14th for Afghanistan and I hate it I hate it I hate it and I don’t know how I am going to handle him being there, I know we have so many of of sons daughters husbands wifes and family off in dangerous places that I am not the only one but when its your family it hits you so much harder, I made it thur his tour of duty in Iraq

             

 but it took 10 years off me and Afghanistan is the most dangerous place in the world right and the way I see it we don’t have eought troops there to protect themselves are back each other up ( IF YOU ARE GOING TO SEND THEM, THEN SENT THEM SOME HELP AND BACKUP ) don’t get me wrong I am very proud of him and what he does but that doesn’t stop the fear and the worry and they are not safe anywhere just look at what just happened at Fort Hood what happened to our people on their own base is heartbreaking some of them having just returned home from Iraq and were shot down on home soil at a place they should have been safe my heart just breaking for them but no tears will bring them back, but my prayers go to all the families who are suffering this tragedy .GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

                       

Well now I am so upset I am getting off here and I will try and visit Hope you all have a GREAT DAY AND A WONDERFUL WEEK END

Well one one mess up with the little one as far as I know that is, after school last monday Anthonys Mom was waiting for his bus and it came and went NO ANTHONY well you can just guess her reaction to that , grabs the baby and off to the school ” THE BUS RAN AND MY SON WAS NOT ON IT ! everybody at once OH NO !  (I can tell you it is really scary when your little one comes up missing even for a short time) then his bus shows up at the school and No he was not on this bus ???? off she goes looking for for her son then as she is getting back to her street she sees the bus and there he is showing the driver where he lives , seems when his teacher saw the street name where he lives she said oh thats my route and puts him on her bus, BUT he lives on the west and her route was on the east , lucky for them they live in a little bitty town and only have two school buses, he knows how to get to his house from the highway . so once they got there he could tell her where he lived  it may be funny now but it sure was not funny when it was happening. I am always telling her keep your eyes on the kids never leave them in the car , watch  him till he gets on the bus, never turn your back on them. you just can’t believe how fast they can go missing. well she knows now.

 I remember when my oldest daughter was a baby and we lived in a very small town too so we always had our kids outside playing, everybody did. I also had a new baby ( well I guess I was good at something) anyway the kids were playing in the yard and I was sitting on the steps watching them and I had to go check on the baby, I told them you stay right here Mommy is going to see about the baby and I will be right back, I was not gone more than 90 seconds and when I got back my 2 year daughter WAS GONE we looked everywhere for her I was in a panic, I had no car , no phone, no one around but me and the kids , somehow I got all three kids and ran to the school to get my Aunt who was working there to help me we were looking and could not find her ( how does a 2 year old get away that fast and where is she) I just knew someone had somehow taken her, well just as they were going to turn the school out to help look for her as we had searched the town it didn’t take long , the little old lady who lived about two hundred yards for us came walking out with her saying “she came to visit and we were having milk and cookies” Hell Fire woman couldn’t you hear me screaming for my baby? I didn’t know if I want to hug her to death or beat her litttle bottom, but you can believe I never left them in the yard alone again , if I went in they went in too.

Well we have had a lot more rain and we needed it so thats a good thing, the MAN needed a new weedeater so I gave him a check so he could stop on his way home and pick one, did he NO he got up early Saturday morning and went in, then spends 325.00 bucks on a damm weedeater WHAT ! well you know that knocked a big hole in my budget, who in the hell needs a $325.00 weedeater, ????? so you know he spent the rest of the day working in the yard, ( he really didn’t want to come in too early ) he worked his little but off , had to show me he really needed that high priced thing , guess what Bubba you are going to be doing alot of  yard work til Winter.  Oh well I can’t bitch too much as I get whatever I want when ever I want

I do not remember if I wrote about this before or not but he was off work for three months this Summer he was in the hospital three times  , The 2nd day of April he came home shaking with fever and went right to bed and the next two weeks he pretty much stayed in the bed, I tried everyday to get him to go to the ER but no way, then on the 15th he got up and said ” I think you better that me to the ER” I knew then he was really sick and he had been self medicating himself and nothing was working, I just knew he had pneumonia and he did but not the everyday kind, he had bacteria pneumonia and one of his lungs had filled almost up with fluid they had to put a tube in his lung and drain it for two days , we almost lost him , because he won’t go to the ER earlier, altho he has insuarnce they really don’t like to pay you when you are off sick and they do not even start paying until 7 days after your first visit to the doctor well he was off work for 15 days before he went in so you guessed it NO MONEY, so what to do , well if you are lucky you have a couple of bucks put back, so there went the saving , and I am still playing catch up, and have a stack of medical bills on my desk that will just have to wait for now. But I don’t think I will have any more problems getting him to go to the doctor.

Oh Okay enough of my rambling will try and visit today or tomorrow , hope all of you are well and happy have a wonderful day

LOVE AND LIGHT-STARWOLF

Not alot going on here in the woods, have been getting alittle rain so haven’t had to drag those darn water hoses around for the last few days, ( ME HAPPY ) we live on down slope or hill or whatever you want to call it , anyway my yard slants downward from the road to the lake and it doesn’t look that bad just looking at it but try walking up and down it a few times  NO FUN .

Well my marine (Josh) will be coming home next month before heading to Afghanistan and I just can’t stand to even think about him going there, I am sure every Mother, Grandmother, Wifes & Sisters of these brave young men feel the same way. He has already been to Iraq .

                                   

Guess all our family can do is pray to bring him back home safe to us. He tells me “Nana I am not a baby anymore I Am A Marine “  God Bless you my little Marine.but you will always be my baby.you know we look at them and we know they are grown but we still see them as our babies, Right Moms !!!!!!

Little ones have made it thur their first few days of school and no major problems YET !!!!! what worries me the most is the little ones are riding the bus for the first time , Anthony will do okay I think, last year he wanted to ride the bus real bad , his Mom told he couldn’t ride the bus as they did not live on a bus route, he said ” But Mom you can follow the bus and pick me up ” this is Jacobs first time on his own he is only four and the baby of their family his brothers are all alot older than he is so he is use to getting his way, but maybe it will be good for him , now if they just get him on the right bus .sure don’t want any missing kids.

Well thats about it for the woods, so I am off to try and visit and see what you all are up to.

                                                      HAVE A GREAT DAY
