Warning: a venting post is coming on fast!!!
Okay I am not one who as a rule likes to admit that something has made me very angry......in writing. I am much sooner to talk about it in person with my friends then to…
It's official! As of 9:30am this morning, this group of people became the Simpson Family! They are now an official part of our family forever. Congratulations!
My sister, her husband and their 5 adopted daughters.
Would it be considered "odd" for a greatly PG lady to be sitting outside in a frog-shaped, kiddie pool, so she can cool off?
And yes, for those of you who are wondering, I did get in the pool. I even laid fla…
The last week of school has begun for my young ones. Today is an outdoor games day for Kindergarden, so Antony should really enjoy himself, even though he got off to a slow start this morning. (We all are moving on the …
Happy
Memorial

I guess I should write another update....it has been awhile. Our weekend has been going very well, and has been busy. Friday, I had a great time with my company and went to bed very late (3:30am). My DH let me sleep u…
My Eventful Night
So, I am lying in bed getting some precious, much needed, good sleep (after several trips to the restroom and tossing and turning to get this stomach and back comfortable)~ when I am startled awake by …
This morning didn't start with a bang. I did not feel like jumping out of bed at 5am to tackle the day's projects. I believe it is because I needed to take one of my prescription sleep aides last night about 12m. I ju…
It has been another lovely day. Great weather, good friends, happy family and lots of chores completed. The burst of energy I had this morning has lasted through most of the day. All laundry is washed, folded AND put …
Praise the Lord!!! Energy strikes again. I had another good night of rest and woke up at 5am ready to tackle the world......or at least, my house. Have a GREAT day!!
Here is our simple cheese reciepe that my family loves to make and to eat. It makes a rather soft, crumbly white cheese that is excellent on crackers or crumbled on spagetti or in bean soup.
1 gallon of whole milk

Surprisingly, my day has turned out quite well, regardless of how I felt this morning. After getting Antony on the bus, I dragged myself and the 2 girlies to the grocery store. Then we made a quick stop at Aunt Bethany…
Sigh..........it's Tuesday........

Greetings this lovely Monday morning!!! We are off to a good start, laundry is being washed, dishes are being stacked in the dishwasher, breakfast eaten, girlies have had a bath, son is off to school, beds are made, and…
Well what do you know......after a day spent lying around with my feet up most of the time, My ankles actually look like ankles again......instead of swollen, tubular appendages.
My Praises~

This morning is off to a slow start too. I have had a pounding headache most of the night. I kept getting up to check my Blood pressure to be sure it wasn't because of it. The BP was 122/77 so I know it isn't the culp…
This morning was off to a lovely start, I thought. The children were playing quietly in the livingroom and my husband and I slept in for about an hour. Something that I don't often do, but it really felt needed this mo…

Our Photo Shoot Results......(thanks Sonya)
Now I just want to scrapbook!! Since I have 82 shots from tonight, I think maybe this warrents a small album just for these photos.
Had kind of a rough night last night. Besides my usual 3 or 4 trips to the restroom, my right knee seems to be swollen some and hurts really bad to use it. I just couldn't get comfortable. Antony was up twice, vomiti…
Our Day Away From It All.....
Yesterday, turned out wonderfully!!! The kids and I left our house at 5:45am and headed south to Virginia Beach. The kids chattered and sang a lot on the way down. As we crossed the Bay …
Just a quick post this morning to say "Thank-you" to all who prayed for good weather for our excursion yesterday. It was beautiful!!! I will post some pictures and give more details later today, after my doctor appoint…
Do you think someone is trying to tell me I need to lay off the coffee??? I just poured myself a fresh cup (it is decaf.), went to answer the phone, and came back to find 2 flies floating on the top of it!!! Maybe the…
Happy Monday morning! Things are rather dreary outside this morning here on the east coast. We had quite a bit of rain during the night, which we really needed. Antony is just about ready for his bus and I am going to…
Happy Mother's Day!!

Our daughter Anita, la dulcita
And my mother, doing …
I think pedicures should be a required necessity for all women!! They feel so good and you are so relaxed afterwards. What woman couldn't use a bit more of that in her life?
My Praises:
Special times with my siste…

When I look at the prescription bottle that holds the prescribed medication to deal with my pregnancy induced insomia (a sleeping prescrip.) it has a large red warning label on the bottle that reads......."Warning: May …
I had a bit of a scare this morning.........I went falling head first down the deck-like stairs at my front door. Fortunately, the palms of my hands and my knees took the brunt of the fall. I did end up in a very stran…

What could be better

daddy shoulder
to snuggle up to in the
middle of the night
when one is not feeling too well?
(this picture makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and melty inside)
Yes, trying to keep those cows from going out on the road yesterday was not the ideal activity for me, but it had to be done. The neighbor lady and the nearby farmer and helper came to help. I came back to the house ve…

Ahhh!! xanga is having problems again and won't let me post in my regular format. How annoying. Well, after yesterday, my house looks better than it has in about 3 weeks. And my hubby is very happy and appreciative. …
The last few days have included a lot of running around and summer clothes shopping. It was fun, but I am ready and despertly in need of a day at home again. Mom and Bethany invited me to go wallpaper shopping with the…
Sorry this isn't the best photo, but it is what I have available at the moment. This is my sister Kathleen and I when we were maybe 2 and 3 or 3 and 4. But anyway, I just wanted to show the resemblence of Anita an…
Good Morning....I hope everyone is having a lovely day so far. We have just returned from an outing to Pepper's Greenhouse. I love that place!!! Somehow I can't think of leaving without purchasing something. I now ha…
Ahhh! I just burnt the supper because I was trying to teach my kids to blow bubbles with their gum! wonder how my hubby will like that excuse.
After much lamenting and tears this morning, my dear son is off to school. He just wanted to stay home and sleep, he claimed, but was happy once it was time to board the bus.
