Yes Helen that is going on over here also...... Hope you have a good day today and tomorrow
of course......... :)

My back is now hurting, I am trying to clean the house up.. starting with the kitchen.
I love my daughter in law very much she is sweet to me and every one... but has a problem
with keeping the house clean.... It would not be so discussing if she had the children
clean up after them self, but she just does not say any thing and when she does she never
backs it up. So ............. with 8 children you just can imagine what a mess.
They all went fishing and playing tennis..... I kept looking at the mess, and thinking I will
stay home....... [" all I would do is sit and watch so......"] So I can clean .... I just had to sit down for a while my back was hurting from just doing half the dishes..... So a sip of coffee and I
am going to do more in the kitchen and then rest and then get into the living room.
toy's of course shoe, dirty sock, dog hair, paper , books, etc........ I hope I can finish before
they come home ! Every thing is a half hour drive one way , or more...... so I guess I will be
able to finish........ :)

Hard work for sure. But thankfully it does give you a bit of a purpose in life...and I am sure the exercise of cleaning up after ten people keeps you healthy!!

You will get to the end of this day and feel satisfied that you accomplished something good and worthwhile. :)

Yes Helen, For sure.... Now on to the next etc........

Yes, even when they do not notice how much I have done. I still feel good.
wow it's lunch time..

 

[Grams]

Morning Helen, how are you doing today ?

Well, its 8:25 now and the children are all down stairs starting home schooling.
So I will be alone till lunch time ... for a while.

Some of the older ones are going for there last year to some school , I did not hear or
was told about this. I figure they all seem to know or think I was told ???
2 of them..... are [first to born girls] able to drive . And the first born is all ready a graduate she had a big party a few months ago. She has been in Cosmetology school for a while now and
is about finished with that. She has been cutting the hair for the brothers and her Dad, my son.
Well, we went to church Sunday, that was nice.... Only after every one has so much to say , that
we did not leave after the service till a hour and a half. But that was very nice...

Hello Marlene
I think I would enjoy some "alone time" if I lived with 19 other people!!
When my parents got old that being in a room full of people ( like at christmas) with so many conversations going on used to confuse and wear them out.
I find that I don't enjoy the festivities of Christmas much any more either.

Well today I must get ready for my lab tests ...blood tests etc etc.. I have to do it ever two weeks. It's chilly here...the mornings feel very very Fall-ish now. We have our heat on until noon...then it warms up.
Have a good day x

Hi Helen,
Christmas is way different , when we got saved...... When we were Catholic it was all about
buying presents for each other...... Now , way different.
The true meaning of Christmas........
My , girl friend that I have know since we were 4 and 5 has cancer. She had her chemo now
2 time and by the time I get letter another from her more thing , she lost here hair and is
now wearing a wig, she said no one noticed its different. She has a lot of different things
to go to the doctor for now. Every week or two.
We both smoked, she still does, maybe now with this its made her stop.
We live a hour and 10 min. away from her ? about ? So I have not seen her in a long time.
She is / had been taking care of her daughter who is in a wheel chair, so she was helping
with the children and other things. So no time for me... and I do understand.

We never owned a farm...but we lived on one for a year.
I loved the cows best of all. They are much brighter animals than people seem to think.

Nite nite....sleep well x

Hello Marlene

I have been staying off of my laptop and iPad because they make me dizzy. That is why you don't see me posting in any of the threads.

I am still praying, still believing and still trusting.
I take one day at al time.
"This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it."

I am just waiting for a cardiologist appointment sometime....and the Blood Pressure Specialist appointment which I see it two months.

Life has slowed down greatly for me. But, I am still "alive and kicking" as they say.

Many blessings on you. ....Helen

I just found this contest today & I was wondering if "Christian Rules" apply?
...Matthew 20:16..?
...Course someone probably suggested this around post 150...?
However...if they don't...this makes me the last poster.

 

[Grams]

Welcome Uisdean........
Sorry , your not the last.......... try again ! :)

 

[Grams]

Hello Helen,
Yep , I understand what your going through ? Some what ! But not half it sounds like.
So , start being careful as you walk .......... I have bruises all the time , I walk into the
door frame with my arms, or hands and get it looking like blood and then it turns blue
the next day, on my legs , etc..... then I try very hard to slow down, and try to remember
I'm not 50 or 60 or 70 any more and that helps, but soon old age and forget full ness......
So be slow you deserve it take your time............. PLEASE ! :) :)
