Sweet Summer Time............

Happy 4th of July everyone, have a safe weekend. I can't believe it's July already, where is the summer going. Still busy working on the house, it's a real project. I'm getting pretty burnt out, so is hubby. We will keep going till it's done. It will be so nice to actually cook in my new kitchen and sit in my new living room and sleep in my new bedroom. it will happen sooner or later. Hope you all are enjoying your summer!

take care and don't forget to wear your seat belt!!!

it saved my life once 18 years ago on July 5th, 1991. I fell asleep at the wheel 6 miles from my home. i will never forget that night. so please, please buckle up. because i had mine on, i am here today. it latterly saved my life.

the picture of me is with my little grandson who is the apple of my eye, he was a ring bear in my best friends son's wedding, my daughter and her husband, my son and his wife were all in the wedding also. It was a fun day had by all!

i've been busy, i wish??

the 4th of july is just a couple weeks away, wow, where is the summer going?....FAST
i wish the house was done.
i wish i could spend more time with my kids.
i wish i could retire and not have to work anymore.
i wish i didn't ache so bad every morning when i got out of bed.
i wish i was 10 years younger so i felt better.
i wish i was 15 pounds lighter on my feet and maybe i would feel better, and my back would feel better.
i wish i could spend more time with tucker.

i guess i should be just thankful for each day i wake up to see the morning light.
i wish i didn't have so much to wish for........................
i wish you all a great week.

this picture is of my son and my grand son. these are two of the people on my WISH list.

love you guys... very, very much!!!

Ground Hog's Day is finally over "It's Mothers Day"

if you know me and what i do, my life at work is purely ground hogs day, over and over again. i named it that about 3 years ago. besides it being a favorite movie of mine, it is also my life when i am working.
well ground hog's day is finally over and it is mother's day and i am sitting at my messy kitchen table at 7:25 am enjoying a cup of coffee by myself, (hubby is still in bed)
it's been a long 6 months for me with only having time off about a month here and there total. I'm tired and i need a break. we went up to the new house yesterday and did some measuring for the interior doors and trim, even that got to be a chore towards the end. today we are going to go have lunch with hubbies mother, who lives about an hour plus from us. i will go up and see my mom on Thursday as well as my kids, grandson, and not to forget my grand-dogs and the 3 new little great grand-dogs, yes Oakley and Basil had 3 puppies, they are shit-zoos, i know i spelled that wrong but you get the picture. they are absolutely adorable. i can't wait to see everyone. i need a family fix. i miss them all so much when i am gone.
we will be home now for the summer pouring all of our strength into finishing our new home. believe me, we will truly need strength with what we are about to attempt. i will let you know as the progress progresses.
well i am going to have another cup of coffee and take a look at Craig's list, another favorite place i have found on the Internet lately, like i need to buy anything else...... it's fun to look tho.
so to all those mom's out there, whether you are a single mom to a great great grandma mom, i wish you all the best and happiest mother's day.
especially to my daughter jenny who this year i will give the greatest mom award for giving me the happiness of my little grandson tucker, who warms my heart and gives me some of the most special days of my life, she is a hardworking mom with having a full time job, (thank God for that right now) but she has the time to give her little guy all the love a mother could give. Happy Mother's Day honey, i love you so very, very much!!

i'v lost my voice

hello, yes it's true i have lost my voice, i asked my boss this morning, "how am i suppose to answer the phone?" his reply..."don't.." so that was easy. i started coming down with a cold like thing about a week ago, now it has ended with a voice loss.... GREAT!!

our job is at peak, working 24x7. we have about 130 people on our end of it with lots of misc. sub contractors walking about. things appear to be going okay, but can change at any time.

today we are having a lunch brought in for everyone, even for the night shift. we're gona have pulled pork on a bun, with beans, potato salad, pop and a brownie for desert. will be quite yummy.

hopefully we'll be home for mothers day. i'm wishful thinking. we may have to come up for a few days the following week, but then it's home free. that's when the REAL work will begin. i really have to start packing up the house so we can get it on the market, and we will have to get real serious on getting the new house livable. hummm, will be interesting. so lots of work ahead of us.

hopefully all of you are enjoying a fun filled weekend. i won't be having one of them for awhile.

looking forward to seeing my little buddy. attaching a picture of me and him. the picture says it all.. oh how i love this little one.

have a nice weekend, enjoy the sun if it's out and get out there and soak it up if you can!!

hugs to all my family, i love and miss you all!!

4 tens made a week for me!! yeaaaaah!!!

heading home today for a 3 day weekend. that will be the first in well over a month. we had a mere 22 hours at home last weekend before we started a different job.
we are in the process of packing up and moving out so the house in a wreck but that's just the way it will be for quite sometime. the new house is FAR from finished. hubby and i are doing the in floor heat, electrical, plumbing, etc. etc. as i have mentioned in the past. whatever we can do ourselves we will do it. it is a pretty big house so it will take us awhile. the main thing is to get a bathroom and heat in the place because we are selling our other home this fall. so we will live like gypsies, which i really don't mind at all. maybe after awhile it will get to me.....we'll see.
it will be fun to see each finished phase. if i ever have time i will post some more pictures.
we got to meet our new little granddaughter last weekend in the few hours we did have at home. she is simply adorable. so tiny she is. she has lots of dark hair, brown eyes, a real nice complexion, skinny legs, nice little ears. and she wears PINK. that is so weird for me after looking at 5 grandsons wearing blue for the past 17 years. now we have a little girl. i'd sure like more than one girl in the family so some of the other children of mine will have to get busy one of these days.
i am patiently waiting........
we are supposedly going to have some grand dog puppies, unfortunately i can't have one of this litter, as much as i want one, it isn't the time with building this house right now. shucks!!! it will be hard to see them go once they are here. they will be shitzues. (no spell check for that one, but you get the picture)
well work calls me, (so sad) but wanted to get a new post on. life is good for me right now, few aches and pains i'll deal with.
husband was on meds for his arthritis, went off for a week and started on a lower dose because his liver readings were too high, will be going in mid may for more blood work. he is taking ibuprofen also and that has helped also. his hands are now the worst, his feet are starting to feel better. he did have fluid drained off his elbow, not sure whats up with that. so we just are hoping it will get better for him. we'll see with time.
have a great weekend everyone and drive safe. don't forget to wear your seatbelt and kiss your kids each day. i wish i was close enough to kiss mine, so i'll just send kisses thru my blog today to each of them.....to my kids i love and miss you all!!!

heading home

i haven't posted awhile because i have been working again very long hours. this job is now done and a new one begins on monday. on mothers day i will be off for hopefully the entire summer. it will be time to work on the house. and time to move and sell our old house, ( a house 2 doors down went on the market less than a month ago and is sold, so maybe we will get lucky and sell ours just as fast!!!) we will be physically busy, i'm excited for that, seeing i have been sitting on my rear end for almost 6 months. it's time to MOVE around a little and get some exercise. i've been cooped up wayyyy to long.
i can't wait to see my kids and the grandchildren. i've been talking to the littlest grandson quite regularly. i sure miss him. he's my little sweetheart.
we also got a new granddaughter who was born on the littlest grandson's birthday. it's our first little girl seeing we have 5 grandsons. we will get to meet her on sunday before heading to our next job. will be different looking at pink stuff!
well it's time to pack up my ole' besse. (computer)
i hope all is well with my blogger buddies, i don't have too many, but it's fun to write anyway.
have a great weekend everyone, and hello to my family whom i love and miss very, very much!

sad,bad day in the "Bay"

In my home town there was one of the worst ice storms ever yesterday and today it isn't much better I guess. My son said they finally cut this one down because it was too dangerous hanging over the road like it was. I'm working out of State so I won't see the town till it's cleaned up. Which will take some time I imagine. It's such a pity. It is a nice town. It seems like at least once a year we get a spring ice storm, but why this one. I'm so sad about it. There are towns near that are completely out of power and will be for the next 2 to 3 days. My little 3 year old grandson said he didn't want the trees to break anymore...... sad, sad, sad. Please keep this little town in your prayers that it will be even more beautiful than before when they get done putting it back together. I know it could be worse, but this is really sad.
