Reality of Life

Reality of LifeLife isn't just full of happiness,
It's sunsets, it's love, it's tears.
It's the thoughts of yesterdays memories,
That can wash away all out fears.

It's that very painful experience,
That each one of us has had.
It's the laughter that fills the air,
It's the tears when you are sad.

It's loving that someone special,
That at one time made you smile.
It's the pain of losing that person,
But the memories that make it worthwhile.

It's that child in every one of us,
Although in time we'll all be old.
It's the good times we'll never forget,
It's the memories we'll always hold.

It's the hug that we all need,
When we'd rather drown in our sorrow.
It's the hope in every one of us,
That makes us hold on for tomorrow.

My Mother

My Mother

A total self commitment
Not fame nor fortune need
She gave herself completely
In thought, in word, in deed.

She never stopped to wonder
On blessings she might earn
But tried instead to teach me
And prayed that I might learn.

And now I'm older, wiser
I understand much more
And look with admiration
Her presence I adore.

Mother gave me everything
A debt I can't repay
So help me God to show her
My love in every way.

Anniversary Wishes

The young man that I married
Is not the same today
That youthful carefree spirit
Now seems so far away.

But age rewards endurance
With pleasures all its' own
With time to build a future
Together...not alone.

And so my love I mention
The years we two have shared
Have made my life worth living
Just knowing that you've cared.

Mom

Mom Mom you're like an Angel Sent from up above, With all your kindness, tenderness And everlasting Love. You have always looked after me And taught me right from wrong, And when I'm down or worried It's always you that comes along. You're not just Mom but a friend of mine A friend I can't replace, And every time I think of you All I see is your smiling face. I thank you Mom for bearing me And allowing me to see these times, Because if it wasn't for you dear Mother I could never write down these lines.

Harvest of The Heart

Harvest of The Heart

Mom, I need to talk to you
Some things I need to say
I thank the good Lord up above
For you most everyday.

I think of times when as a child
I took your love for granted
But at this painful time in life
I feel the seeds you planted.

The seeds of strength, you placed in me
Are grown and now in bloom
Although alone, I face today
Your strength is in this room.

The seeds of faith, you gave to me
Have flourished, and have stayed
As you instructed long ago
When feeling weak, I've prayed.

The seeds of love you planted deep
And nourished them with care
You watered them with many tears
And blessed them with your prayers.

So Mom, I want to thank you now
YOU are Gods greatest art
for giving me these fruits of love
"Moms Harvest of The Heart".

To My Granddaughter

To My Granddaughter

My granddaughter is Ashley
And I call her "angel wings"
She's the apple of my eye
And the reason that I sing.

Her enthusiasm is a treasure
That surrounds me night and day
Her laughter is the sun
That daily lights the way.

Her love when she sees me
Turns my world around
Her voice like an orchestra
Serenades me with beautiful sound.

She touches me like an angel
Her love a gift to my soul
And as long as God gives me life
Her presence within me is gold.

You Are...

You Are...

Someone I can count on
that I can call my friend.
Someone that will be there
forever, until the end.

You are...
Someone I can learn from
and teach a few things to.
Someone I can trust
a friend who is true blue.

You are...
Someone I can run to
when I feel alone.
Someone who can make
any place feel like home.

You are...
Someone that has been there
from the very first breath.
Someone who has stuck by me
and never, ever left.

Thank You Mom!

Seasons Of Our Life

Seasons Of Our Life

As Mothers, we are special.
There is no nobler call.
We are the Masterpiece of God.
He designed us, one and all.

His plans are always perfect.
With each season, there comes change
And, just as Summer follows Spring,
Each life He has arranged.

In the springtime of our youth,
A mother's love is always near.
She shows us how to serve the Lord,
In the growth of tender years.

She loves us unconditionally,
Has patience beyond measure.
She cultivates our eager hearts and
Thanks God for this great treasure.

As this season of our life
Gives way to summer's sun,
It's in these years we blossom
And a new phase has begun.

As a mother, she knows that danger
Into this season will creep.
So, with a prayerful heart, on bending knees,
She prays our souls He'll keep.

We're no longer tiny babies,
When a kiss could heal our pain.
It's then she listens, with her heart,
And quiets tears that fall like rain.

We, slowly, start to break the ties
Of Mother's apron strings
And, right before her very eyes,
Her little child takes wing.

Her years of prayer and teaching
Are now put to the test
As we begin the search for love,
Which is a awesome quest.

She prays that we are listening
To the sound of God's still voice.
For, if we are, she knows that "He"
Will help us make the choice.

Then, once again, the seasons change,
As we listen to God's call,
And, now, her child has made the journey
Through summer into fall.

It's in this season that life begins
The circle to complete,
As our lives change and we understand,
With the patter of little feet.

We now can know and comprehend
Just what our mother meant
When we heard her thank our God, above,
For the miracle that He sent.

Now, we will teach our children,
Just as to us was taught,
That Jesus gave His life for them
And their soul His blood has bought.

We'll teach our children to love the Lord,
As they sit down at our knee,
And, as we bow our heads to pray,
We'll remember our mother's plea.

We, too, will thank our God, above,
For the children in our arms
And with prayerful hearts on bending knees,
Pray He'll keep them safe from harm.

Now, we will watch, as our children journey
From spring and on through fall.
As they grow in spirit and in truth,
They will answer to God's call.

It's then, as Grandmothers, we reflect
On the seasons and all they've blessed,
As we step into tomorrow
And the years of winter's rest.

It's in this season we look back
At our joys and all our trials.
With thankful hearts, we turn to God
And thank Him for every mile.

God's presence has always surrounded us.
He, now, keeps us free from strife
As we journey into the future,
Through the Seasons of our Life.

Hush Little Child

Hush Little Child

Hush little child,
whimpering in dreams
your all cosy and warm,
wrapped in rainbows and moonbeams
outside the wind howls,
there's frost on the ground
And Autumn is whining,
its early warning sound
so hush my baby,
there's no cause for alarm
for in your life,
you'll face many a storm
But with God at your side,
there is nothing to fear
Because his love and affection,
will always be near.

A Bond Between a Mother and a Daughter

A Bond Between a Mother and a Daughter

Open her heart to the blessings around her.
Show her that joy and Jesus surround her.
Help her to trust in the bible, not fear it.
Teach her that fantasies are the wings of the spirit.
Guide her with love and quiet persuasion.
For she is the Lord's pleasure, his cloud of creation.

Mama's Baby

Mama's BabyI love your stubby fingers
and your crooked little toes
I love your chubby cheeks
and your little button nose
I love your big blue eyes
and your pretty auburn hair
I love your rosy lips
and your dimpled derriere
I know that you'll grow up
to be such a perfect lady
How does Mama know?
Because you're such a perfect baby

From God's Hands To Yours

From God's Hands To Yours

A miracle it is said
of each girl and boy born.
Sown seeds of Love
that parents can enjoy.

Most babies are perfection.
Although some may have a flaw
These will need acceptance.
It is God's most Holy Law.

Made in His own image,
these sweet little ones
have only just left Father
for their earthly homes.

So treat them like treasure
for that is what they are.
Little tiny bits of Heaven
having traveled so very far.

Just nourish them gently.
Like plants they will grow
Creating such loving memories,
Heavenly Father deems it so.

A child is His precious gift.
So innocent, loving and pure.
Sent from Heaven up above.
From God's Hands to yours.

Family

I think about those I do not see,
Sensing that they too think of me.

So many miles I have strayed,
When I could have simply stayed.

Merely to expand the bond,
To make new memories far beyond.

Life's choices find us miles apart,
Ever close with the beat of my heart.

To relive in my minds eye,
Keeps them close and always near by.

Memories gathered from the start,
Forever alive within my heart.

My message is so simple and small.
Those three words most important of all,
I LOVE YOU!

Grandma's Prayer

Grandma's Prayer

Granddaughters are Gods special gift
To let every grandma know
That the Lord has set aside a special prayer
For when you’re feeling low.

I’m not sure if I have all the words
But they came straight from Gods heart
To let each Grandma always know
They’re loved right from the start.

Dear Grandma when I awoke today
And saw that great big sun
I knew you put it in the sky
So we could go out and have some fun.

And when I heard the robins sing
And listened to their happy tune
I remembered how you sing me to sleep
I hope you show up soon.

And when I saw that yellow butterfly
Land upon my window sill
The beauty I saw in front of me
Reminded me of Grandma, I know it always will.

I got up then and knelt and prayed
To our Lord Jesus in the sky
I thanked Him for all these beautiful things
But I had one more prayer before I said goodbye.

Dear God, when you see Grandma
Send an angel to keep her safe from harm
Then send her here to play with me
I feel safe inside her arms.

Amen

Go ELF yourself

I did, lol, check it out

Go ELF yourself

Memorial Day 2007

We went camping for the Memorial Weekend. The kids had a great time, we spent a ton to much money, but the memories the kids made are well worth it. Papa brought the ski bob and I got Kiera out on it with me, she loved it. Tori was too scared to get on it as well as Tay, but Kandace Loved it. Even though she spent more time in the water waiting for us to pick her up than she did actually riding it. We had 4 camp sites full of people. 2 RV’s, 1 pop up and 3 tents. OMG I can’t even tell you how good the food was this weekend, we smoked a turky and a ham and had steaks one night another night we had these big ol pork chops and 1 night we fried catfish, I don’t do the catfish to well but this time I tried it and liked it, but be the old age setting in. I made ghetto dugouts this week end and it got outstanding results, everyone loved them. The old age set in when it was time to pack up and leave too. Man it was so friggin hot. And yep if you haven’t guess it yet the fucking RV broke down on us again, lol, I have to laugh, so that makes 5 times now we have taken it out and 5 times it didn’t make it home, hell 4 of 3 of those times it didn’t even make it to camp. This time it broke down 1 exit away from home, so we just parked it at the thortons and we will deal with it tomorrow. If I don’t go torch the damn thing first. J is ganna sell it and get us some jet ski’s hell after a day on the jet ski who cares where the hell you sleep at night. Plus without the RV that means I get kid free nights…. Lol, I remember when that would get a woot woot, now it really just means I can sleep all night with out a “I got to pee” whisper waking me up…

Well I got to get more laundry done and who knows how long it will take to upload the pics from this weekend, lol, so I hope all ya’ll had a great Memorial weekend. Till next time peace out.

well this is good bye

I fixed it.....

I am so proud of myself.  I , little ol' me, all by me self fixed the space heater, and not a minute to soon cause it is frigid cold outside, 16 degrees with a wind chill of 6. (J is defiantly freezing his nutts off today) So this morning when I seen that Tori's school was cancelled (cause of cold weather) I thought for sure Kandace would be out too, Tori is in the headstart program but it is run out of Kandace's school, so why let one group off and not all?? don't ask me but Head start was the only school out around here.  So I went up to get Kandace up for school, but to no avail, she is sick, she is still laying down and it's 10 till noon.  She isn't throwing up yet, but she is complaining her belly hurts and she feels like she needs to vomit but can't.  I hate that feeling. So anyway we are all here, trying to stay warm.  I just saw it's snowing outside.  They did say we were supposed to get some but no more than an inch or so, I hope they are right.

I bet the neighbors are cussing the little white flakes coming down.  They just brought in a dumpster to start getting rid of the rest of the crap that is still over there from the fire.  It's been close to a year now that the house has sat vacant. Such a shame, it is one of the oldest houses in New Albany.  It is an eye sore, even before the fire it was an UGLY old house, but it had such character, such potential, it will take a lot of money and a lot more TLC but it could be such a lovely home.  I don't know the new neighbors yet, there have been a lot of folks over there the last 2 months.  I am really glad some one is finally ganna try to fix it up again. 

This is an old picture from when we moved in 3 years ago, but you can see the house I am talking about there in all it's 2 toned glory.  The 3rd floor used to be the servants quarters, it has/had a staircase from the kitchen on the first floor that went directly to the 3rd floor.  it was about 15 inches wide with no railing and steps about 3 inches wide. from 1st to 3rd floor.  Strange how that is the only real damage from the fire was that stair case and the entire 3rd floor, just like the servants back in the day the fire started right outside the back door with a faulty electrical box, then the fire destroyed the kitchen and headed to the 3rd floor thru that little staircase, Kitchen and 3rd floor gone, but the 2nd floor was virtually untouched.

I am glad to see some one over there fixing it up.

not happy about the guy that keeps showing up with the Viking jacket, lol, that's all I need around here another football junkie....

oh well it could be worse....

he could be a Packers fan.......

Happy Groundhog's Day

 

Seems like every year he see's his shadow,,, but not this year, yippie, yeah, I am so looking forward to spring. I can't wait...

I am sure I am not the only one.

We woke to more snow today than yesterday.

Kids all had off yesterday, but not today???

go figure,

but atleast that's one less make up day

added to the end of the school year.

Well I wanted to stop in and say hi,

now back to the midget's (and then 1)

Have a great day everyone.

Birthday breakdown

 

Before the big Party for my oldest daughter I had to have a breakdown first.  My baby is 9....  I know some will say no biggie??  WRONG.  It's our half way point, another 9 years and she will hopefully be leaving home to attend some fancy smancy college.  As much as I want all the good things for her in her lifetime I wish there was a way I could keep her just like this forever.  She is such a good kid.  Don't ya wish there was a pill or powder that would keep our kids as innocent as they are now/or once were??  If that were the case I'd be sitting here with 3 new forever....   lol.

 

OMG!!!!

we finally got some snow, not much but enough for them to cancel school today,  YIPPIE a snow day!!!! wait a minute that didn't sound as good as it did when I'd say it 20 years ago....  now it means a mess of kids wanting to go out and freeze their little noses off.  I guess I will have to get out the snow bibs and let them out in it for a while today.  They say we have another round of snow coming tonight.  Hey things could be worse. 

So see as I said things could be worse, I will be happy we got some snow, as long as that is all we get it *some snow* I couldn't imagine having to cope with ice like in those pictures....

I want to give the readers that have made it back a big hug.

 

Thanks for taking some time for me today.

Saturday my daughter turned 9

Aww what a big girl I have. 

hey hey hey, it's a beautiful day............

 

Not much happening here today, waiting on the final paper work for the refinance to be FED EX'd to me.  Should be here tomorrow, I can't tell you how much better I feel know we are on a fixed rate.  The ideal was when we purchased this house to sell it for a profit, but now 3 years later we are still here and in no way ready to sell it, J is such a procrastinator, although he has a reason for everything he puts off, it still gets put off.  Well he now has another 3 years to get his shit done around here, cause in the refinance there is a 4thousand pre payment penalty, lol, I like my money to much to just hand over 4 grand to any one. 

 

sorry folks That's all I got time for right now,

Take care friends,

Missy
