I'm Still Around.....

Hello all. Just letting you all know I still exist! Just very busy. I'm going a lot so haven't even had my 'puter on in so long. Will try to check in more often.. Hugs to all... Cecil

Busy As A Bee.........

Hello everyone! I'm sure if you read my title, you know I've been very busy. I won't make any excuses other than to say as Diane does, "life happens." I've just had so much going that I haven't had time to come on and blog. Work has been extremely busy and just as I was about to go bonkers, I got a break. Jessica and I went on a mini-vacation. It was just the 2 of us and we went to Hot Springs... and lucky us! my hubby called and booked a hotel room for us and he got us a spa package... it was fabulous!!! Facials, pedicures, mineral baths and massages... ah! to be there now! Absolutely wonderful! We had a blast!

So, that is what has been going on with me. How about all of you? I hope you are all well and enjoying summer. It will be over far too quickly.... do something fun!

Our weather has been crazy! Cooler temps that are making history for July.. Rain, rain and more rain! I just hope our winter is not this crazy. I don't think I can take another ice storm like we had earlier this year!

Well, I guess I'd better go for now. Have to get up early and I go to bed early. Have a good rest of the week. Hugs to all....... Cecil

The Heat is On!

Hello all.... Hope you are all doing well. I worked this am and then Jessica met me after work and we went to get Munchkin a swing set. She was so excited when I told her that her uncle Brian and I were going to get her a swing set! She loves to swing and get on the slide. It is so hot right now but we are expecting cooler temps next week so I wanted to get it so Jessica and Jason could get it set up for her now. I loved having a swing set growing up.

Hope you have all had a good week. I did. Just busy at work but it does make the time go faster!

Brian (hubby) and I spent Sunday going to lunch and then shopping. We had a great day and even went to dinner later. I went to church Sunday night. And Sunday was Father's Day. I miss my Dad a lot... I can't help but think how much he and Mom would have loved Munchkin and Seth! So, until I see you again, Daddy.... I love you and I miss you and will see you soon.

I am having a hard time staying awake this afternoon! I really don't need to go to sleep at 5 pm! I may not sleep well tonite if I do! So, I have to stay awake.......

I am so ready to go on vacation! Every time I see a pic of a beach, I drool! I haven't been to Florida in several years and I'd like to go NOW.. lol... right now though, we have several at work taking time off so I can't for now... sigh... oh well.....

Well, I have some things to do so I guess I'll go for now. Have a good weekend...... Hugs to all...

Hello Again.. My Friend...

Hello everyone. Needless to say, once again I have been AWOL.. for which I do apologize. We had VBS last week.. (you can see pics on Diane's blog)... and between work and then going to VBS, I have been exhausted to be honest with you. I went to Diane and Lamar's yesterday.. and Jessica and Munch and Jason's brother came down .. and Diane grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. It was really good. Jess let Munch play in her pool for a bit and then she had to go to work. I fell alseep on the couch and probably slept for an hour and a half... I was worn out. Today, I went and got us sandwiches for lunch and managed to stay awake all day.. lol... Diane worked on my blog a bit... thank you very much, m'aam!! And I wanted to come on and leave a few words and say hi to all. Hopefully, everything is settled for a bit... except the weather... it is suffocatingly hot right now.... and will probably be that way until November! no joke... But I guess we'll make it through..... I pray that all of our air conditioners hold up!!

Not much else going on here right now.... How are all of you? Can't blame anyone if they don't stop by... I've just been so busy, I couldn't come on... hope you all will stick with me... Guess I'll go for now... Hugs to all, Cecil

A Quick Hello.......

Hi everyone..... Hope you are all well. Good here.. just been busy. I don't have much time to chat tonight. I had several things to do this evening when I got home which hasn't left much time to blog. Will try to come on in the next few nights. I spent the last few days with the family... Munch ( aka Emmy), Jessica, Jason, Diane, Lamar and Sue. I have to go back to work tomorrow so I am going to go nite nite in a sec! I'll be checking back in soon.. Hope you all have a good week... we are expecting some rough storms.. I pray they won't be bad.... Hugs to all... be back soon... Cecil

It Was a Dark and Stormy Night....

It is lightning so I can't really stay on here but wanted to say "hello" to everyone! I was off work Saturday... whoo hooooo!! And some of the family went to eat and to the mall and the movies... we had a really good time. Sunday we had Boston butt for lunch after church at Diane and Lamar's. So we had a busy weekend.... Hope you are all well and took time to remember our soldiers ..... from past to present.. and what Memorial Day really is all about.... My thoughts and prayers go out to all of them and their families and our country.... Will be back soon... Hugs to all.... Cecil

Happy Mother's Day......

Hello everyone! I hope you are all well. I have had a very busy week so I haven't had much time to come on and visit. I worked all week and then had a party to go to on Saturday.. I'm sure you heard about it on Diane's blog and on Jessica's blog, too... I'm referring, of course, to Princess Emmy's 2nd birthday party! I can't believe she is 2 already... time ... it does go by so fast. We had a good time and I'm pretty sure Munch (aka Emmy) was also very happy about her day. You can view pics on Diane and Jess's blogs.

Yesterday was Mother's Day. I have to be honest and tell you that it was very hard on me this year.. as it is on others who have lost their moms already. My Hubby's Mom has been gone for 2 years now... she died almost 2 years to the day that my Mom died. It is difficult for him and me both because we loved them both... I know a lot of people don't feel that way about their mother-in-laws.. but we did.

What I miss the most:
1) Being able to talk to my Mom.. I still try to call her every now and then... until I realize my cell service doesn't reach that far.... ;-)
2) Not knowing certain things about our family that she could answer
3) Taking her out..... anywhere
4) Seeing her sit across the auditorium at church
5) Seeing her laugh.. and making me laugh
6) Everything..... I miss everything....

I wish, most of all, that she (and Dad) could have known Munchkin.... they would have loved her and Seth (our nephew and his wife's little boy) so much.

We had our Sunday night singing at church last night and it was so very good! I did ok for a bit... but finally cried... I'd been sad all day and held out as long as I could! But it was ok.... I miss Mom so much and Jess sang and it was so good! And I wish Mom could see her now, too. She'd be proud...... This was a friend of mine's 1st Mother's Day without her Mom . We cried together.... Sadness shared and wonderful memories of 2 unforgettable women who made us what we are... See you soon, Mama!

I hope you all got a chance to tell your mom that you love her.... And that it was a memorable day for you....

I guess I'll go for now..... Got to do a few things and get ready for bed... Hope you all have a good week... be back soon. Hugs to all..... CECIL

Hello Again...

Hey everyone! Hopefully I am back for good!! I won't have time to comment on everyone's blog for a bit but do want to thank everyone who has commented and left me such nice messages! Thank you for hanging in there with me! Hugs to you all... I've missed everyone!

I am doing better now.... Finally had to break down and go to the doctor last Wedneday. I couldn't hear out of my left ear and the other one was bothering me......I have fluid in both ears and a massive sinus infection... still having some coughing and have some congestion in my chest. So, my doctor put me on steriods and antibiotics. I came home after work to rest.. still stay tired and just wanted to pile on the couch and watch tv and snuggle with my munchkins. And that's what I did. It was a gorgeous day today but I just wanted to rest! Sad, huh? Not really. I did need to rest.

So what's been going on with everyone? Hope you have all been ok. I have been looking forward to the weather warming up. I want to get better so I can start walking. We have a very nice track. Hopefully, I'll be able to start soon.

Have a few things to do so I think I'll go for now. Hope you all have a good weekend! Hugs to all..... Cecil

Update....

Hey everyone... wanted to give you all an update. I had to have a new modem and I also need a new router. I will get that soon but not today. My 'puter is hooked up direct.. thanks to my cable guy. I can't stay on but just long enough to give you this update. Would stay on longer but I am sick and don't really feel like sitting up right now. Long story short, I have asthma and I had an attack in my sleep Friday night and didn't wake up. I have a very congested chest and just feel bad. It usually takes me a while to get back to normal afterward. Miss you all and hope to blog with you all soon. Thanks for staying with me.... Hugs to all...... Cecil

P.S. To my sister ZZ top... I can't get on your blog now.. you are private. Was going to leave you a comment.
