I saw he most wonderful thing tonight.  I love all my G. children, but I am closer to my youngest ones than the oldest four.  I have done a lot of the raising of the four youngest and was their foster mother for a year.

I heard a lound noise coming in my yard and I knew it was my oldes't husband's Harley.  Thought I was going to have a visit from my daughter and her husband, but no it was her husband and my youngest G. son Jacob was riding on the back with his Uncle Bob. 

Jacob has a lot of problems with things changing so for him to get on the bike with Uncle Bob is a very big step for him.  Seeing him almost made me cry I was so happy.

We have been having a lot of thunder storms here this last week, so I have been off the computer.  This week we are supposed to get rain and wind and they are saying that we may get snow down to 1000 feet which means here in the valley.

I thought we were supposed to be having Spring, but winter does not want to leave here it seems.  Sure am tired of all this rain and I have to drive in the wind and rain tomorrow, I will be careful.

Love to all my friends.

I want to let my friends know that I have not been ignoring their comments.  I just found out how to find them, I do not like the new system.  I was beginning to think that I had made some of my very special friends mad because I was not getting any comments from them.

Here we go again, changing things that are not broken.  If they are going to keep the new system they should add comment alerts to it.

I am seeing a pattern here and I am just as guilty as the rest of the people who are on here.  I am beginning to think that the fun of communicating with others is wearing off.  We are not communicating like we did before, is it the weather that has made us depressed, our busy lives, illness or what?

I really enjoy trying to stay in touch with everybody, can not always get it done and then I feel bad about it.  The days when I feel good and can sit at the computer for a while I try to make up for the days that I have missed.

For me friendship is very important and I really try to keep in touch with everybody.  I hope that I have not hurt people's feelings in any way.  This cold damp winter has really made me ill most of the time.  I have been in a lot of pain and when I take the pain pills I want to sleep.  I feel I am missing out on a lot of life right now.

Spring will be here Sunday so there is hope for warmer weather and some sunshine which will help a lot.  I happen to be one of those people who need a lot of sunshine to function properly.

My love to all of you, I think of you all every day.

Can anybody believe that Spring will be here Sunday.  We have been having thunder storms and down pours all day long.  I do not know about my other gardening friends, but I sure am getting the urge to do something outside.  I think I will feel better when I can get outside.

This has been a very long cold rainy winter on this side of the U. S.  We have had snow which we do not get very often in our little valley.  The midwest and east coast has had it worse as far as snow goes, and now floods.  I think God is trying to tell us that we need to straighten up our lives or else.  So we need to listen to what he is trying to tell us my friends.

Warm hugs from rainy California

It has been a crazy week for me.  I have been freezing most of the time and when I get warm I sleep, so I have slept most of the week on my sofa.  Watched my son's kids tonight, boy did I have my hands full.  Shauna who is usually pretty good was a little brat tonight and her and I had a real go around.  I was going to tell Shawn not to let her go to camp on the 21st of this month, that is how bad she was.  She was not going to do anything that she was supposed to do or told to do.  It got so bad that I had to put her in a chair twice and make her sit there, not say a word until dinner was done.  I finally had a little talk with her and she calmed down, but then started to push Shawn's buttons when he got home with Jacob.  I will probably want to sleep all day tomorrow, but need to go to the bank and pay a couple of bills.

That is just about the way I feel right now and very confused, so now all of you know why I have not been on line this week.

Love to all of you because I do think of you every day.  Rain rain go away give me some sunshine so that I can get outside again for a little while.

Warm hugs

I am sorry my friends that I have not been on here to answer your messages or comments.  It has been a very busy and stressful two weeks.

My son got a chance to go to the Dunes in Oregon.  He has had four years of a lot of stress and problems so his oldest sister and I said go we will watch the kids. 

Well last week everyone of the kids got sick and I never knew which one I was going to have while he was trying to work and get ready to go.  This Sunday I was watching the kids while he went grocery shopping.  His two youngest girls were playing in the back yard and all of a sudden the oldest one of them came running in.  I could not understand what she was saying except something about Danielle.  Well Danielle tripped over a rock, fell and broke her right ankle.

I spent Wed. going all over twon to get her taken care of, first the Dr. then the place were we got a boot to support her ankle, then another place to see about crutches. 

Yesterday it was all day getting Issie trimmed, 4 hours trying to find something to do in the rain and snow.  I was hoping the snow would not stick so that I could get home.  Then I had to go over to my son's because his oldest one had a tooth ache and Tammy just could not stay up any longer.  I watched Ariel and she would almost nod off so I finally sent her to bed and I came home.  Today it was watch the kids so that Tammy could go get her medication and then I took Ariel to the Dr. for her tooth.

I am ready for bed again and I took a nap earlier  tonight, missed the news which I never do.

This weekend will probably be busy also because Shawn is still going to be gone and four kids is a lot for my daughter who is ill to watch.

Love to all of you and I do think of you every day, just too tired to spend the time to answer every body like I should.

Warm hugs from cold rainy N. Ca.

No one knows better than I do how a person with fibro feels.  I have a daughter that suffers every day with it.  Some days she does pretty good and others she spends most of the time in her room in bed.

One of the saddest parts of it for me is that I can not give her a hug without hurting her and I hate to see her hurt.  She tries to hide her pain from me when I am with her but she does not do a very good job of it.  I just wish there was some thing that could be dones for all the people that have it.

Another bad part about it is the fact that the symptons for it vary so much that it is a hard deases to diagnose.  That is the main reason for people not beleiving that there is anything wrong with somebody like my daughter.  Both her and my sister look healthy but both suffer every day.
