Kids Say the Darndest Things!!

I have a quick funny story. I know some of you read this on my Facebook, but I thought it was worth repeating here.

My granddaughter Erynn, 8, was wanting to drink one of my diet drinks yesterday and I said, "how am I suppose to lose weight if you drink my diet drinks?" And she said, "Nana, you don't need to lose weight" and I was thinking awwww.....she is sweet, then she continued, "you're 50, it doesn't matter what you weigh. We are just glad you are alive!"

I can't wait to see her.....


And him......


And him.......

These 3 are about 10 hours away by now. It's a 20 hour drive from NC to here. I'll be glad when they are home.

She is at my house now........


I saw him this weekend, but already miss him!! Luckily, he is only 1 1/2 hours away. I can go anytime I want!!


I'm babysitting her tonight. The other 5 are my grandkids....she is my niece.

Sadness

I'm so sad right now. Maybe I'm making too much out of it, but I was so hoping to see the 'E' kids on Sunday. I haven't seen Ethan and Erynn for 3 weeks when they went back to North Carolina with their uncle. I threw a fit about them going, which did no good, but I lived through those 3 weeks and was so looking forward to Sunday. Erick didn't want to go to NC, so he stayed here the first week, then he had to go with his Dad and has been there for 2 weeks. Now their Dad and I use that word lightly decides he is not going to be able to go and get them tomorrow because he has to work, so those poor kids have to stay in NC for one more week. I know they were looking forward to coming home and seeing their Mom. I know they must be homesick and I can hardly stand to think about it. This will make FOUR weeks being away from their Mom and Dad and especially me!! Tony is mad about it too, but he knows we can't do anything about it so he just wants me to cheer up and get over it.....but I can't just 'get over it'. I talked to them on the phone earlier and I guess they were alright, but I know they are homesick. Hearing their voices made me even sadder, but I want them to know how much I miss them. I know I need to get myself together and just be ready for them to come home and I may not let them out of my sight ever again!! I think I will have to fight their Mom and T-pa in order to keep them all to myself!!!

Randomness

I haven't blogged in a while. I've been thinking about it, but I never just sit down to do it. So I thought I would just post about some random things that have been going on since my last post.


The end of school was only a couple of weeks ago. I was in charge of 2 graduations in Chillicothe...the 8th grade and the HS. Both went off pretty well, if I do say so myself. I had two nephews that graduated from Wellington that week also.
This is Jarod and Kody with their uncle Tony.

With the end of school came a lot of awards ceremonies, playdays and lots of celebrations. I didn't get to go to any of them, but I have pictures anyway.


This is Ethan with his teacher. This was his last day in Elementary school. It's hard to believe that I'm old enough to have a JH grandson!!

Here is Bailey and some of her friends at playday.



This is Erick and friends at playday.


This is Erynn and her class with their Bobcat stars at playday.(she is the one right next to the HS boy in blue) The little kids really have fun and look up to the high school kids. It's a good program that has been going on for years now.



Lacy is going back to work for her cardiologist on Monday. I'm going to stay with her for a week so that I can keep Jacob and help her get back in the swing of things. She found him a daycare today that he will be going to the next week, but until then, I'll have him all to myself all next week!!

I also had a angiogram this week. I'm still recovering from it. I'm better, but still a little sore. They didn't find any blockage so I didn't have to have a stint, which was very good news. It's so strange how that they can give you meds and you don't remember a thing that they did to you. I remember being in the operating room and this one man asking me where I was from and then the next thing I know, I'm back in my room. I've been lying around for 3 days now and am ready to get back to doing things. I think tomorrow, I'll be ok.

The week after school was out, Ethan and Erynn went to North Carolina with their aunt and uncle. I just about had a fit over that because I found out they would not be back for 3 weeks! I just can't stand to be without them for that long and that is a long way to go without either Mom or Dad. I've talked to them a few times and Erynn has a Myspace that I talk to her on. I keep telling her that if they get homesick, I'll come and get them. She wrote me back yesterday and said 'Nana, I told you 1000 times that I was not going to get homesick!'. So I guess I'll quit worrying about them. I still miss them though and I hope they come home sooner than expected.

I have two trips planned this summer. For our 3oth anniversary, Tony and I are going to Branson. We are driving and stopping wherever we want and are going to do whatever we want. I can't wait!! In August we are all going to Six Flags to take all of the kids. That will be fun, too, but probably scorching hot!!


I know this is a long post and if you are still reading, you need a medal!! Hope you all have a great summer!!

I didn't post a photo Friday so I'm posting a smiling faces Saturday.

Not Me! Monday

I haven't done a Not Me Monday in a long time and Lacy thought I should do one since I NEVER do anything dumb or that I would be embarrassed about......no, not me!! The Not Me! Monday was started over at Mckmama's blog.

I did not give in to Erynn after two days of her not begging me for a snow cone maker from Walmart. I did not tell her over and over that No, I was NOT going to buy that dumb snow cone maker. And after I purchased it, I did not offer to buy the cute little snow cone cups and several flavors of the syrup. And after I didn't buy her the snow cone maker, I did not tell her to not ask for anything else until her birthday!

One day while walking outside to give Tony the hamburgers to put on the grill, I did not fall flat on my face because of the freakin' gate that was broken and all of the tin on the ground from my roof that STILL has not gotten done. I did not keep all of the burgers on the plate when they fell.....and Tony most certainly did not laugh from the other side of the fence and tell me to go around the other way. He would never do that...he would come running to help me up!! He is such a loser good husband!!

I also did not tell Ethan that until he stays out of trouble at school for not doing his homework that he could absolutely not spend the night with me.....and he most certainly did not spend the night with me that same night that I told him he couldn't. And Erick didn't stay, too, because I've told them only one kid at a time on a school night. Like I said before....I am not a pushover Nana who gives in to her grandkids every wish!! No, not me!!

I did not have a good Mother's Day because I did not get to see all of my kids and grandkids. I'm never happy to see them and while Jacob was not here, I didn't rock him until 1:30 in the morning because he sleeps so well at night!!
