FIVE Generations!

I think it's rare to have five generations together! This is me, my dad, Eddy, my Grandma Purser - and of course, Hunter-man! He is fast asleep & didn't know a thing!

Rundown of the week - Part 1.

Once again I find myself behind on my blogging. Well heck, it's not JUST on my blogging...I feel and AM behind in my LIFE! It has been a crazy week. Sunday night David had to work. So I picked up Brittni & we went to see my Grandma. Got home LATE of course. Worked Monday, David & I didn't do much Monday night, he mostly slept...to be honest, I can't even REMEMBER what we did...wait - went to Macadoodles & that was it. Tuesday...was crazy. Boogie & Bam had an appointment with Dr. Halbert. Bam needed to get his shots, and Boogie? Well, we took her in for a PREGNANCY TEST! Yes, that's what I said. David IS NOT HAPPY! The only thing we can figure out is maybe, somehow, Rope (Elvis' stupid little Red Heeler) maybe got ahold of her. We were SO careful. I remember telling Elvis he HAD to keep him away from her. I told him if something happened somehow that 2 things would happen. First & Foremost, David would be LIVID. You're not supposed to breed a dog the first time they go into heat. Not to mention the fact that we don't want random breed puppies. (Boogie is super purebred, very highly registered). Secondly, if...IF she got pregnant, he'd be the one sitting in the parking lot at Wal Mart with a box full of FREE PUPPIES! Anyway, at first the vet told us a test would cost $600. Then she found one for $100. But after we got there & they started doing the math, they decided we needed to wait a couple weeks before doing the test....so...we are waiting. One more thing to mention about this little catastrophe is that IF she's pregnant, she is due on June 25th! (The day after we leave for Cancun!). God help me! Anyway, went back to work for a couple hours after that, then got a call from my aunt. She needed me & David to meet her at her house immediately, Hospice was coming out & she needed help moving furniture. Yes, my grandma went home Tuesday evening on Hospice. Wed. me & Brittni went out & did laundry, cleaned, grocery shopped...visited etc. I didn't get home until midnight. There's waaay more to tell, but I'm out of time here at work...follow ups to come - me

Update on my grandma

My grandma is getting worse every day. Today the doctor came in & talked to her about authorizing a DNR. He told her she just has SO much going on, he needed to know if her heart stopped, or if she stopped breathing, what her wishes were. She told him she did not want to be kept alive on a machine, and if that happened, to let her go. She is so very weak. And getting weaker every day. I went up last night & stayed for about an hour and a half with my dad. Tonight, as soon as David left for work, I went & picked up Brittni & we headed out to my grandma & Aunt Bev's house. We met Bev out there & tried to help her do a few of the things she hasn't been able to do since she's been at the hospital with Grandma practically 24/7. We did some laundry, vacuumed, swept, did dishes, cleaned out the refrigerator, took out the trash....just little things like that. It didn't take me & Pudge long at all, and Bev had to get back to the hospital. But we did what we could, then ran by the hospital to check on Grandma & kiss her goodnight. She looked worse to me tonight, than she did last night (if that's possible). Then I had to call Eddy & let him know that she's not getting better. Poor baby, he feels so far away, and so helpless up there. I know it's hard on both my kids....me too! My grandma has been there all our lives. Hopefully, she'll come out of this & be okay. She's the sweetest/toughest woman I know! Please keep praying for her. me

ANOTHER EARTHQUAKE HERE!

Tonight, at exactly 7:00 p.m. we had another earthquake! And this time, David & I were both at home. And both felt it. I was in the kitchen making coffee & there was this huge loud boom and I could feel the tile --the floor beneath me shake. The walls shook, the WHOLE house shook. David was in the bedroom & he yelled "What was that?" I ran to the front door & went outside & everyone...EVERYONE in our neighborhood started coming out of their houses trying to figure out what just happened. Three weeks ago, to the day, we had the first one EVER here. It was a 2.5 magnitude. Tonight's was a 2.6! I remember saying last time that I wish I'd been home instead of at work, and that I was sorry I missed it. Nope...changed my mind. If that's what a little one feels like, I don't want to EVER be around when another one hits. It's kind of scary actually. And of course, David had to go to work, so me & my over active imagination are here all by ourselves tonight! So, I'm gonna put Boogie & Bam in bed with me, say my prayers, and call it a night! Another earthquake? Seriously? Kinda creepy. me

Hunter-Man!

He's gonna be a duck hunter! His papaw (David) bought these for him when he was in Stuttgart! He bought a 3-6months....but I may need to send them back & get a bigger size! He is growing SO fast! How CUTE!!!! me

Practicing For Mexico!

Question #1: Is "drunk dialing" and "drunk posting" the same thing? I am not sure. What I AM sure of is this.... this "practicing" for Cancun is KILLING me! Tonight, Terri came over at 6:15. Right as David was leaving for work. (The upside to this story is that David will be home in 3 hours, and if...IF I survive, he will be able to take care of me). The "down" side to this story is that I got it in my head that I need to build up my tolerance to alcohol. We seldom drink here at home. Not nearly as much as we probably should. That being said....I decided I needed to start "practicing" drinking, so that when we are in Mexico, I won't be such a light weight. Several (I really don't know HOW many) jello shots later, ONE full bottle of mango flavored rum, one FULL bottle of Captain Morgan's Spice Rum later....well, I guess it speaks for itself that I am blogging at 12:15 A.M. ! I don't know if I'm better off, or worse off than when I started, but hey...it's ALL good! We'll see if I feel that way in 6 hours and 15 minutes (in the morning) ............me!

Mexico

I am currently in a state of "Pre-Mexico" freakout! Oh my goodness! We are leaving in 36 DAYS! Days I tell you! 36 of them. Do you have ANY idea the things I need to do before then? (Besides lose 100 million pounds)! I have to tan. I have to get something adorable done with my hair. I have to color my hair (before then I'm sure), and...and...I have to BUY CLOTHES! Not just cute, comfortable, cool Mexico clothes - but, 2 or 3 dresses...(dinner is semi-formal) everyone that's going from work is "dressing" for dinner each night. And I have to buy a freakin swimsuit! Not just any swimsuit, but one I am somewhat comfortable wearing in front of my co-workers. Can you say..."cute cover-ups" please? The girls that are going from work are taking a different swimsuit for each day. Not me. If I can find just one...IF...just one, I'm sticking to it.

But enough of the whining already! I am VERY VERY excited! I can not wait. David is getting excited too. It is a much needed break from reality. And speaking of reality...I really, really should get back to work! me
