No words
I have no words to describe the hurt and pain. All I can do is pray. As I pray I cry.
I found this poem on the Sandy Hook facebook page. I wish I knew who wrote it. I don't. I do however feel that the words are so profound. I felt led to share them.
May the peace of God be with the families of all the children that were taken to soon and for the staff that were killed while trying so hard to protect them.
Twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38 when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate.
Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air. They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
They were filled with such joy; they didn't know what to say. They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
“Where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a m

“Where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a m
ouse. “This is heaven" declared a small boy. "We’re spending Christmas at God's house”.
When what to their wondering eyes did appear, but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same. Then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
And in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
Those children all flew into the arms of their King and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace, one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face.
And as if He could read all the questions she had He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad.
“Then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe,
Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand, “Let My power and presence re-enter this land!
“May this country be delivered from the hands of fools” “I’m taking back my nation.
I'm taking back my schools!"
“Then He and the children stood up without a sound. “Come now my children let me show you around."
Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran. All displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight, “in the midst of this darkness,” I AM STILL THE LIGHT."

Important things
I found this post on Facebook. I really liked it and thought I would share this on my blog today.
Temprell's photos:
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.The students laughed..
‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—-your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—-and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.. The sand is everything else—-the small stuff.
‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.
Take care of the golf balls first—-the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, ‘I’m glad you asked.’ The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

To me it was a great way to explain life. To explain the important things to be THANKFUL for. As I am getting the stuffing ready for our big feast tomorrow. I can't help but stop and give thanks to the people in my life. The warm house and the things that are in it. For food pf plenty on my table.
Don't get me wrong. I believe that the little things in life are worth being thankful for also. But, family, friends, food, shelter and our health are huge. "The golf balls." Things I will never take for granted!
I hope that all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I am so lucky
Well, I guess I don't need to say where I have been for the last two weeks. We have been spending everyday with my daughter and her babies. I have been helping her and holding our new baby every chance I get. He is perfect and healthy and so, so beautiful.
~
Today he got to go out. We went shopping. We had a great day. We went out to lunch and shopped and I could not believe how lucky I am. Watching the two older kids run and play. Realizing that my baby is a grown woman and such a good mommy. I wish I could put into words how proud I am of her.Who would of thought when I held her in my arms for the first time she would grow up to be an amazing, Godly woman. I am really lucky to have the life that I do. I wish my son was here to share it all. I know he watches us from Heaven and I know he is just as proud. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't talk about him. He is always in our hearts and will never be forgotten. It helps that my grandson looks so much like him and has his name! I am lucky. I will see my son again. Because, He has promised us that.
~
I am taking in every minute of this newborn that has my heart. I will play dolls with my Berkley and watch videos with my Jeremy. I will sit back and watch this amazing little family. I will do all that and give God all the glory.
Yep, I am lucky.
Enjoy your weekend
I am sure enjoying mine.

No baby yet!
Still no baby. My poor daughter. She called me yesterday and told me "Mom, I think I'm broken." She thinks that she doesn't have the ability to go into labor. I think she will be having the baby tomorrow!!! I don't know why, but I really feel like our little baby boy will be here some time on 10-13-12. Call it mother's instinct, but I really have this strong feeling
~
So, I am going to take a shower and do my hair and put some makeup on. Then I will wait for her phone call. While I am waiting I will be praying for a healthy and safe birth, and a precious healthy baby. Cause I know that I won't be sleeping tonight.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I know I will be.

Whoops!!!!!!
I forgot to tell you that H is having a girl. We are so excited. Not to excited that the little dog HAS found her forever home. My husband loves her. I love my husband. What am I going to do!!
I also wanted to say that our golden does sleep in the garage in the winter. However, that is my husbands man cave. He has his pool table, fridge, TV and recliner out there. So, our Golden is well taken care of and spoiled. I just thought I would throw that in there. I didn't want anyone to think I am mean to animals because I won't let them in the house. Dog hair in the house just gives me the creeps. Not judging, that is just my preference.

Still feels like summer. I think it is time for a baby
I am still having a hard time believing it is fall. It was 100 today. It has been between 94 and 100 for the last month. I heard on the news that by next week it should go down into the 80's. I really don't care what it is, next week I am breaking out the boots. As much as I love my flip flops. I am really excited to start wearing my boots.
I went to the doctor with my sweet daughter today. Poor thing has been suffering with a migraine the last three days. Tylenol is the only thing she can take. For the kind of headache she has, it is like taking candy. I think it is time for her to deliver that bundle of joy. I just ask that she please wait until Friday. I have a hair appt. on Thursday and I have been counting the days until I can get my color, highlights and cut. I have this fear that she is going to call me and tell me it is time while I am under the dryer with the foil on my head. I.Will.Die! I can't pull the foil off and run. I will be bald by time the baby is born. Ha! I have to have cute hair for the newborn pictures. So if you can say a prayer that she will at least wait until I am done with my hair, I would so appreciate it.
While we were at the doctors today. I always take B outside. They have a really cute patio out front. On the side they have a small wall that separates the buildings. With a long drop on the other side of it B always says, " I no go near the wall." She knows all to well that she can fall over. I have told her so many times in the last 8 months. Even though I am standing right next to her. There is also a small patch of dirt to the side of that wall with a hole that I think a small something has burrowed. She is fascinated with that hole. She won't go near it because, again, I told her that there is an animal in there. I know, I scare that poor little girl to death. I am so over protective!! Better to be safe then sorry! She stares at that hole when we go out there. Today was no different. She came up to me and said, there is a monkey in the hole. I told her no, I think a squirrel.. She walked back over and looked again and came back and said, "no squirrel, mommy is having the baby and then we throw the baby in there." Needless to say., I sat down and had a talk with her and told her that we don't throw the baby anywhere. We love the baby. She is so stinkin cute!
Now that I took a break from cleaning to write about my day. I guess I should get back to washing down all the doors and scrubbing bathrooms. Then it will be time to relax and watch some HGTV.
Have a good night!

A boy or a girl and another dog!
My husband and I went to meet his daughter at a 3D ultrasound to find out what she is having. She is only 16 weeks so that is why she decided to do a 3D. We were there for an hour and a half. The tech was trying so hard to wake this tiny baby up but baby was not going to have it. After about an hour of searching and trying to wake the little one up, baby finally decided to move around. We were all so excited but I guess it was going to teach us a lesson. It crossed it's legs. The tech did get a glimpse of what she was looking for but could not tell us for sure! She said she was leaning towards a girl. H already has a boy. So, we are hopeful!! She is going back again Saturday morning after she drinks cold water and eats some sweet food. I guess the sugar makes the baby a little hyper and so does the cold water. We can't wait to find out for sure.
It is so crazy having my daughter ready...I mean READY...to deliver and now waiting to find out what my step daughter is having. That will make five little people soon. I love babies. I love to spoil them. I never thought at my age I would have 5 grand babies. I didn't even think I would have 2. I am blessed a million times over.
A few days ago a little Chihuahua sat on our driveway. She would come closer every few minutes. My husband decided to give the dog a treat. Little by little she would come closer. After about an hour of her inching closer. The dog decides that she found a forever home. We already have a male Golden Retiever. I really don't need a female Chihuahua. I don't think that mix would be cute at all. I don't even think that is possible!! Now she is sleeping in the laundry room because there is no way I will allow a dog in my bed. I won't even allow our golden in the house. Now, I know you are all thinking OMG!!!! But, I am sorry, dog hair and I do not get along. I am a clean freak. We have wood floors and I would see every hair that he would shed if I let him in.. Our dog is spoiled rotten and loved very much. I just can't have an animal in my house. In the winter he has a warm dog house with a big fluffy Costco pillow in the garage. We have a big back yard that we spent a lot of money landscaping. It is all his. The house, is mine!
I don't have the heart to send this little dog that thinks he found his forever home back out on the streets. Our neighbor said he saw her a few times roaming around. I wish she had a collar so I could just call the owners and let them know I found their dog. I think my husband has become very attached to this new dog. I, on the other hand, want to put an add in the paper tomorrow and see if anyone claims her, or wants her, or knows someone who wants her. I don't want her.
She actually gets along with our golden. We stay out in the backyard when they are together. I really don't think they would make cute puppies. She is also so sweet. Not your typical chihuahua.. Maybe chihuahua mixed with wiener. I'm not really sure. She follows us all around and she is loving and great with the kids.
We didn't find out if the baby was a boy or a girl. However, we have a dog I guess I will just have to wait to see how I am feeling about her tomorrow. Then wait to see if the baby will be awake and not so modest on Saturday.
Wish me luck!

Married to Jonas
I know...You might think I am a little weird. I can't help it. I love this show!!! I am from New Jersey and I am Italian.So are Dani's parents. I could close my eyes and swear that my parents are the ones on that show., I am in love with Dani. She is so sweet and laid back. I especially love that they are young and full of God! Kevin and his family are so close. Everything on that show speaks, family.
My daughter told me about the show and told me that I had to watch it. It is on Sunday nights on E! A couple of episodes went by and my daughter asked if I had watched it. I told her no! Needless to say.. She was on the phone with me making sure I had my TV set on E and made sure I watched it Sunday night. I was so glad that I did.
Now, every Sunday night at 10:00 here in California. I am on the couch with popcorn, ready to watch my new favorite show. It never disappoints!
If you get a chance to watch it. DO! You will fall in love with this couple,
and their family, and you will laugh. Reality TV gets bashed all the time. This show is not like the others, where every other word is bleeped out. Married to Jonas is fun and real. Great family values and a love for God.
Hope you get a chance to watch it. Let me know what you think!
Weekend is right around the corner. Can't wait!!

Has anyone ever had a migraine. Not just any migraine, but one that last three days? Now, I feel so blessed. Now, it is only a headache!! It took me down big time! I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone.
Today I brought my baby boy to school. His little sister was up with the tummy flu all night. My daughter called me and she sounded so drained. She is over being pregnant. Add being up all night with a sick little one and that is recipe for disaster. So I took J to school and picked him up. We went out for a late lunch and had a good day. I love him so much.
Well, today is the last day of summer. I am not hearing any of it. The way I look at it, if it is still 100 degrees out it is still going to be summer to me. I will not let go of it until I have to. The nights are getting shorter and there are Christmas decorations on the whole right side of Hobby Lobby and every blog had beautiful fall decorations up. However, to me, it is still summer. We ate out on the patio tonight and I still have my air set at 79. I am wearing my beloved tank tops and shorts and my favorite flip flops. How in the world can it be fall?? Oh well, I guess I will enjoy it while it lasts.
What is your favorite season?
Let the hot weekend begin. Enjoy!

Not much happening on this blog. I guess I like reading blogs more then I like writing them. I do have some exciting stuff going on in my world. My daughter is going to have a baby in about 3 weeks. We have shopped, organized, shopped and shopped til there is no more to buy! I can always find something to buy!!
I am so excited about this baby. It will be her last. So, it will be my last. She has two already. J is 5 and B is 2 1/2. So this baby will have to take it's time growing up. To say I love her babies is an under statement. They are my life!!!
I hope to someday add pictures to this blog. Maybe if I stop reading so many I may find time to write in mine. I want to come back here and remember all the fun we have had in my world.
Life is so busy and summer has been so much fun that I can only find time to do a few things on the side. So, I read other blogs.Ha!
I am not looking forward to fall. I.LOVE. SUMMER. The hot days and the warm nights, longer days to play. A very small part of me is looking forward to crisp cool air. I feel naughty saying that!! My heart will always cling to summer Living in California is not so bad though. I do live in higher elevation so we get some snow and below freezing nights. But the sun shines everyday. The weather is mild and I wouldn't want to live in any other state.
So, Hopefully pictures will come. More posts, and maybe a tour of my Casa. Who knows! I may or may not post for another 6 months. I know one thing. As soon as that baby is born, I won't be reading or writing any blogs for a long time. I will be loving that baby. All 3 of them. I told my daughter that she is the incubator. Once they are born,Then they are mine...Just Kidding. Well, kind of! :)
Have a great week everyone!

Not much happening on this blog. I guess I like reading blogs more then I like writing them. I do have some exciting stuff going on in my world. My daughter is going to have a baby in about 3 weeks. We have shopped, organized, shopped and shopped til there is no more to buy! I can always find something to buy!!

I am having company come out tomorrow from Vegas. On Saturday We are having more company. About 21 people in all. So what have I been up too...Cleaning! It is midnight and I just got done. My husband doesn't understand why I go crazy cleaning. He says that we can perform surgery in our house. I have the wrost OCD. I have to have a really clean house EVERY day! I re-organized every drawer, pantry, closet and bathrooms in the month of January.. Surprisingly, it all stayed that way. Of course I had to stay on top of it all. I love every thing in it's place.
During all of this chaos I decided to paint my wall unit White. Well. I had my husband paint it, and a mighty fine job he did!!! Now I am tweaking all the new things I bought to go on it. I will try and post some pictures. I didn't take any before. Think 80's oak people. Not in my house :)
I am loving orange, green and yellow. It is my little space to read my Pottery Barn magazines and listen to Pandora. I still need to buy more stuff to go in it. I can't wait until it is done. My house is really tuscan so having a room that is bright and cheery will make this girl very happy. I promise to post as I go along.
Well, morning will be here soon and so will my company. So off to bed I go.
Have a great weekend everyone.

I started this blog a very looooooooong time ago! I posted in the comment section. I can't believe I did that. Ha! I never came back. I read so many blogs and I never came back to mine.
So much has gone on in my life since I last posted...( commented on my own blog.) I guess this would be a great time to start all over!
Hope fully I will figure out all of this blog stuff. For now I am going to post this and come back tomorrow. I am going to make myself post as much as I can. I really think this will be fun.
Thanks to those who have commented on my blog! I love reading yours and I do so daily.
Thanks again
