Turning into a night owl!

Just when I was gettin it all together..gettin up at a decent hour in the morning and going to bed at a decent hour at night here I am up at 2:30am!! Oh well life is good!! Especially when you have a lots of love from a precious little boy!!

Life

I am so the worst mother in the world. How anyone can say different I guess just doesn't know. My baby girl called for help and I told her to help herself. I feel so disgusted, hurt, confused and crazy. This last year has been the pits and it just seems to keep piling up. Just when I feel like I can breathe it hits the fan again!

I have so totally messed up! My head has been so stuffed up and I have felt so bad. We had the shower for Ashley and it was such fun. Clay really did take over 350 pictures of everyone. His camera is too cool. So we went to the hospital the next day to await the birth of our 8th grandson, 14th grandchild. Nikolas Cole 6lbs 3oz 20ins long. Good looking young man...looks like his Dad at this point. Oh and guess who took the pic..right...me!!

So now I am planning another shower for Jeannene & Brandon for granddaughter #7....the boys are in the lead..but then thats the story in this family!

Kevin will be home real soon...Yah!! Ok as Clay is so fond of reminding me..he will not be "home" as in home with his wife and girls but "home" as in the good ole USofA!! We will take what we can get, Okay?

Hangin in there

I think I actually am doing pretty good. Things have been a bit busy and I had to audacity to be sick for two days..I guess not sick but sure didn't feel well. We had a baby shower on Saturday at Chris and Cheryls and as always with this huge wonderful family we had a great time. Then on Sunday we went to the hospital to await the little bundle. Nikolas Cole made his apperance at 10:58 am. He weighed 6ibs and 3ounces. He was 20 inches long with lots of dark hair. We are all very happy and congratulate Ashley and Preston on a job well done. Will add pics tomorrow when I can see what I am doing. I think the sleeping pill has kicked in!! Night Night!

Last night of first set

Here is the pic of Caeden & Popa I took yesterday, or was it the day before? Hmmm all the days kinda blend in when I am here without Clay. It just seems so weird. I have been a bit depressed, not wanting to do anything or see anybody. But I am sure it is something I will get over..Its just the idea of change. I don't do change very well. Clay seems to be happy in his new job and is all excited about everything...even writing reports. ?? I'm sure that will change..the report thing that is. I really think he is going to like this job. Tonight is the last night of his first set so we will see what happens tomorrow night. LOL

DJ came over tonight and brought Chinese!! Yay..I am the only one around here that likes it so when we get a chance we chow down. I love vegetable lomain...yum!

Tomorrow I have to go pick out a cake for Ashley's baby shower. I just hope Ashley gets to be there. She is supposed to be induced on the 18, that is the day after the shower. I really am surprised she has gone this long.

K so I am gonna go get a book and chill for a while.

4th day of being a night widow

So day or rather night #4...so I guess it will be okay..eventually.... but I really am not sure I am getting anywhere. I feel as tho I am getting less done. Things are so different. I actually cook breakfast and then dinner in almost the middle of the day. I find I am getting bored easily. So far Clay hasn't slept much later than I normally do. I know that once he gets on a regular shift and I do the same it will all be good.

My little buddy Caeden came over and spent the afternoon and evening with me. He kept asking where Popa was...he just doesn't understand the concept that Popa works at night now. He kept telling me no he wasn't at work. Chewy is also extremely confused about all of this too. Poor guy!

McGee is doing pretty good on the potty training issue. Thank goodness! He and Ms Kitty get along great...they run and play fight. At least I assume it is play since Ms Kitty hasn't brought out the claws yet. Its funny to watch her slap him around. Tomorrow McGee gets to go back to the vet and Chewy goes with him. Then in a couple of weeks Ms Kitty goes. These animals can get rather expensive! Ahh but they are so worth it.

We put up dark curtains in the bedroom today hoping that Clay will be able to sleep past 8:30. I hate it cause the bedroom is so dark...of course that was the idea...but I hate dark..unless its supposed to be dark...or its rainy..or I am overly depressed. But it really doesn't look bad..except the curtains are wrinkled. I may have to set the alarm in order to get up at a decent time tho. I may sleep as late as Clay..LOL if I did I guess I wouldn't have to worry about sleeping pills. Just sleep all day and stay up all night. Nah...I'd rather not. I reckon the puppies will make sure I get up early enough.

Alrighty then I guess I am thru for now. I took a really cute pic of Caeden & Clay so he could add another picture to his desk. Will post it tomorrow since it is on the other computer. Need to put pics on external hard drive..but even if I had it is in the other room.

Night two!

Ok here we are, night two of the new night job..for hubby not me....I suppose I will get used to it but to be honest I'm not sure right now...I mean two nights in a row...he didn't get home until almost 5 this morning. Amazingly I woke up when he got in bed. Things are just so different. Tonight I was so blah...stayed up later than usual last night....so I am in bed right now..be asleep soon. Chris came over and went over Clay's computer. It wasn't running right. It seems to be doing better but who knows. I went to Wal Mart with DJ and the girls this morning. I had to pick up a few things for Clay and exchange the ink I got that was wrong!! Grr that makes me mad..I mean I knew when I picked it up it was the wrong one. But got the right one today plus a hundred 4x6 photo sheets for like $3.00 more than just the ink. I like good deals! I also picked up a frame so I could send a pic of us with him to work..to put on his desk :) Off to lala land...
