PERSONALITY PLUS

I spent the night at Stephanies last night and sometimes I wonder how her and Eric have the stamina to take care of FOUR children....

Don't get me wrong they are wonderful GRANDCHILDREN! (NOTE: GRANDCHILDREN, you can always go home when you want to)

From the time I walked in until bedtime there was a constant fight. Either between children or Stephanie and Children.

Last night after several hours of trying to go to sleep I went upstairs and hid in one of the bedrooms. Now Tucker and Nate are already in bed, thank God for SCHOOL..... But the two little ones are still awake. They both realize I am missing and start the mission of looking and calling for Nanny. Well Cassidy sees me first so she says "I coming, I coming". So she comes upstairs with me and lays down. I am trying to get her to sleep but she has taken a late nap so she isn't in the mood for sleep, she is ready to play....wtih NANNY....I kept telling her she needed to lay down and I would pat the bed with my hand, well she would turn and look at me, making circular motions with her hand on my cheek, and said Don't worry Nanny, I wuv you..... I would try to pretend to be asleep and open my eyes a little and she was looking straight in to my face grinning, saying Hey Nanny, Peek a Boo. I finally took her downstairs and Stephanie kept her down there crying.

This morning I get up, of course, Jackson and Cassidy are snoozing, so is Stephanie (but I'm sure that had something to do with Jackson and Cassidy). Get the boys up and tell them to get ready for school. My SWEET grandchild Tucker wouldn't speak to me because I told him to brush his teeth and didn't make Nate because he said he already had. So he went off to school without giving me a hug, telling me bye.....or anything.

But you know YOU GOTTA LOVE THEM...........they are all tooo cute.....and I got to get up and go to work and COME HOME.......

This is why GOD made us to have Children young.

FRIENDS

Just want to say, I cherish my friends SO MUCH......They are awesome and I love them all. You know I totally believe that God puts people in your life for a reason. Sometimes I think how sad it would be not to have TRUE friends. I can't even image.

I'm not talking about the ones that are there one minute and gone the next. I'm talking about wonderful friends that are always there for you no matter what. Friends you can tell your darkest secrets to and you never have to worry about it going any further. Friends that laugh with you, and not at you. They are there when your happy, there to lend a shoulder, cry with you in your deepest pain.

I've had alot of friends in my life (great ones). Excluding my Mom and Daughter, I have two friends that I wouldn't take anything for. First of all, Shirley. She has been my best friend for almost eleven years. We have laughed together, cried together,helped each other out when we knew the other one would need it. Other then my family she is the one I know I can always count on no matter what.

She must have prayed that God would send me a Scrapbooking Buddy because I have tried to drag her to every scrapbooking event I wanted to go to. However, let me say she isn't in to it near as much as ME.

Enter Donna, loves scrapbooking....And when I say loves it I mean reallllly LOVES it. Sometimes I think she would rather scrapbook then eat. She is a great scrapbooking partner because let me say if you are not talking her in to going to a weekend crop, she is trying to convince you. We always have fun when we get together. But take away the scrapbooking and she would still be my friend. We both have so much in common it is unreal.

I appreciate and love ALL of my friends, however, Shirley and Donna are like sisters. The only difference is none of us have ever gotten in a disagreement. (like sisters do)

There are so many important things in life but other than God and family I can't think of anything more important then your friend. This quote is for my friends, love you guys bunches.

Friends are the angels who lift us to our feet
when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."
