It's 2am and I am up..I couldn't sleep so I decided I would read a few blogs. I really need to sleep cause I will be at my Middle Daughters helping with the kids for the next couple of days. I know I will get plenty of exercise!!!
I will take my Doggie's with me so they can chase a few chickens and check out the horses and play with the 3 dogs my daughter has. 'MY boys" love a trip anyway...lol. They only live about 45 minutes from me but My Boys love the windows down and their heads hung out the window so they can bark all the way there...lol..lol !
I have already been told by my 5 year old Grand that she is out of "Granny Kisses" and is really missing me bad.(I saw her Tuesday) I guess you wonder what "Granny Kisses" are..lol. Well they are ice cream kisses..they look just like Hershey kisses and about a year ago or more I found them in the ice cream section of the grocery. I bought Courtney a box and told her when she really got to missing me to just get out her box of "Granny Kisses" and eat one and she would feel all better. She even gave her Daddy one one day because she knew he was missin Granny too...lol  You know how cute I thought that was. Now I have to buy 4 or 5 boxes at a time cause I shared my thoughts with a few friends. Yep, they are buyin them too so they are getting harder to come by...lol "Granny Kisses" are very popular in my neck of the woods!!!!
I hope everyone is having a little Sunshine in their life...I know you do cause there's NONE here. RAIN everyday here..I know I'm just an old woman and I gotta fuss about somethin...Right? I also know a little later I'll be fussin cause we need rain..told ya I was a old woman..lol Hope everyone has a Great rest of the week and a Super Weekend...I'll be busy roundin up younguns... I am BLESSED!!  Bye for now... Mary

I don't write many blogs anymore..seems I had offended a couple people by writing a "whiny" blog, so I deleted it and now I mostly read what others write. Today will be different I will write no matter who does or doesn't like it!I have been careful to just share my feelings with only a few close people I consider my "True Friends". In fact only ONE male friend knows just about all and he found out accidentally in an e-mail attempting to half way let me know he was ..hmmmm aggravated...lol.
Today I am here to post a day to Remember all my life. I have two things going on this day. The date will be May 12, 2009 on this day ..First..My Husband will have his Divorce.. and Second it will be the anniversary of my Sweet Brother Richards death.
See I am not whining... I am just sharing a very important day in my life. I think it is kind of a way to catch my breath....
Thanks all for reading.. No comments are necessary...just think about me..MARY

It is simply BEAUTIFUL outside. I am trying to do some house cleaning...BUT... I keep going outside ..lol. My iris are blooming all around the place and I am so excited to see what color is where...lol. I forgot what was where and what I didn't dig up amd take to Wisconsin. As you can tell...IRIS is my favorite flower. I had a few pinks and a few Black ..I don't see either. I will still enjoy my differant shades of purple and my Yellow. I have 2 that are rust/peach color.. by next year maybe I will have more.
Well back to work..and a few strolls out to smell the flowers... ((HUGS)) to my Friends and the new people I hope to meet in here.. Mary

For the last two days I have been at my middle daughters house helping her..lol. Oh me..I know know how old I really am. I have been taking care of her 5 year old and her 8 month old!! I am so gld to lay down in my own bed...lol..lol. It was fun but goodness are they NEVER still? lol
My daughter pulled a muscle in her back/side and we all know how bad that hurts ! Putting the baby Girl to bed was almost impossible. I am home now because Daddy is home (He works out of town most weeks). I have to say "Big Sister" is a lot of help for Mommy and she loves her "Baby Sister" so much.
We made 3 doctor appointments, one of which was a Chiropractor..he was very good and really helped her. Now I am done with Grandkids until Tuesday and we have two more appointments.
After I left Her house I had to head out to my oldest daughters to pick up my "Granddog" Luckydog and bring him home to my house to stay until Monday when my daughter will be back from Flordia. Her friends are busy on weekends so Mom is doggie sitting.
I for some strange reason thought (Foolish Me) that retire meant ya sit on your butt and watch T.V. or roam around and did nothing...unless you decided to...lol. I am now re-educated on the true meaning of RETIREMENT...lol. It means be ready when the kids call and need your services ...lol.. "But Mom ..you aren't doing anything IMPORTANT anyway"...lol "Oh ..your back hurts... well you probably need some exercise..you can run after the kids for me.".. Or "You can walk the dog for me, it's good exercise for you Mom."...lol. "You don't have to clean your house...no one sees it anyway, and You know I can't bend to pick up those toys"...lol
LORD, I love my Children... and it's a good thing I do...lol  They know Mama will always be there to help..if she can. Is there a more special bond than a MOTHER and her CHILDREN? I think not..unless it is a TRUE DADDY and his CHILDREN!
(((HUG))) to all the Mama's and Daddy's in the world!!

CRABBY OLD MAN

I don't like to "Copy and Paste" but I just had to ..Many years ago I volunteered at a nursing home...I enjoyed the residents so much, but this poem reminds me of how some working there felt!
CRABBY OLD MAN:
When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in North Platte, Nebraska, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value. Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, they found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. One nurse took her copy to Missouri. The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas edition of the News Magazine of the St. Louis Association for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent poem.
And this little old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet.
Crabby Old Man
What do you see nurses? ..What do you see?
What are you thinking.....when you're looking at me?
A crabby old man...not very wise,
Uncertain of habit...with faraway eyes?
Who dribbles his food.......and makes no reply.
When you say in a loud voice.....'I do wish you'd try!'
Who seems not to notice ...the things that you do.
And forever is losing .......... A sock or shoe?
Who, resisting or not...........lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding...The long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking? Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse......you're not looking at me.
I'll tell you who I am ....... As I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding......as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of Ten.......with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters .........who love one another.
A young boy of Sixteen..........with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now. ......a lover he'll meet.
A groom soon at Twenty........my heart gives a leap.
Remembering the vows.........that I promised to keep.
At Twenty-Five, now ......... I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide .... And a secure happy home.
A man of Thirty ......... My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other ....... With ties that should last.
At Forty, my young sons ........have grown and are gone,
But my woman's beside me.......to see I don't mourn.
At Fifty, once more............... Babies play ' round my knee,
Again, we know children ......... My loved one and me.
Dark days are upon me ............ My wife is now dead.
I look at the future ..................I shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing......young of their own.
And I think of the years...........And the love that I've known.
I'm now an old man.........and nature is cruel.
Tis jest to make old age .look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles..........grace and vigor, depart.
There is now a stone........where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcass...... A young guy still dwells,
And now and again .......my battered heart swells
I remember the joys........... I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living.............life over again.
I think of the years all too few......gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact........that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people ........open and see..
Not a crabby old man. Look closer....see........ME!!
Remember this poem when you next meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the
young soul within.....we will all, one day, be there, too!
PLEASE SHARE THIS POEM
The best and most beautiful things of this world can't be seen or touched. They must be felt by the heart.
"Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die"

My Thank You for Prayers...

First I want to THANK each and everyone of you that replied to my blog, E-mailed me, or even thought or Prayed for me in this sad time in my life. You have been my rock...THANK YOU a thousand times over!! Without all of you I would never made it this far.
Life is very hard right now, for all of you that have lost Mom's, Dad's and other family members you know where I am right now!! I am so sorry for your losses be them lately or many years past..it is still an ache we have to live with. All I have left now is a half brother Walt..no one else all are gone. I also have half sisters and brothers from my Birth Fathers remarriage that live far away and I am just getting to know some of them. But somehow that is different...I feel like Walt is all that is left.
Yesterday Mom was laid to rest...I am going back to Tennessee today...I feel hollow inside..somewhat in a daze. As I looked at the 3 head stones in a row ..a part of me just wanted to join them...but I know my children and grandchildren need me. So I am holding it in and putting on a smiley face and going on. Was it a song from way back "Smiling on the outside, Crying on the inside"? Thank God also for my youngest Daughter Julie..She was there for My Brother and I and we were so thankful for all she did and for her support for us.She is so strong ..she is always there in time of need for everyone and anyone!!
Wisconsin will now be a thing of the past..I'm leaving 3 Family members in Bruce, WI.(Daddy, Mama, and Brother Richard) and my Brother Walt and his boys in Port Washington, and my soon to be exhusband and some good friends in Oshkosh...Good bye Wisconsin..forever!!
I have to finish packing....until we meet again...Thank you once again... Mary
