2009...Answers Revealed

Wishing everyone a year of wealth, health, and happiness. Happy 2010!

2009 was an incredible year........I have asked myself 1000's of questions regarding who I am for 33 years. 2009 was the year that the answers were revealed. I think back on this year and remind myself that no matter where you go, the truth is following you. People might think that they can get away with wrong deed but it will catch up with you. Unfortunately, unplanned kids from my biological father followed him his whole life. Us kids paid the price for the rejection, abandonment, and the years of anger. ***However on the bright side, I had an awesome daddy who loved me like my biological dad couldn't. I will forever love him and still think about him daily***

While I had an awesome daddy....I still wondered where I am from....I guess everyone would eventually want to know their bloodlines, roots, whatever you want to call it.

I set out trying to figure it out on many attempts but the door was usually only cracked, never fully open.

2009 my bio father passed away (only met him 3 times in my life and hadn't spoken in years)and answers were revealed. WOW! When one door closes, another opens. This saying is so dang true. I discovered brothers and sisters......we all met individually and finally all together. There are more siblings out there.....my brother and I will find them when it's God's time.

I've turned out to have awesome brothers and a great sister......I hate that we're all seperated my distance but we keep in contact on a regular basis. God truly answered my prayers by revealing my brothers and sisters and developing a relationship with them. None of us except our sister knew our bio father.....I am thankful that we have each other and peace knowing that we're not dealing with this alone.

2009 was definitely a year that I will NEVER forget.

We had a busy and good weekend. I worked all weekend since I now work every third weekend. The kids had a wonderful time Saturday night and are really hyper now that they've consumed about 40% of their candy. My kids don't do well with sugar and a time change all in the same weekend.

I love setting the clocks back (after the initial adjustment).......I feel like I am at home longer in the afternoons and the kids usually go to bed earlier, which I love! LOL

I have a ton of stuff to post on here......I stink at uploading things. Don't know why I roll like that but I do.

Hope you have a fantastic Monday.....off today and I am about to head out shopping and to take the puppy back to the vet to get staples removed.

Enjoy your day!

Great Weekend and ROLL TIDE!

so far after a crappy week! I love FALLLLLLL......
My dog will live....he had surgery to fix his lungs and diaphram (sp) ....he's costing some mega money but he's alive and good.

Saturday was great...got my house cleaned, went to do my own thing, boys went hunting, and then my daughter scheduled a sleepover. Luckily these girls were really good last night cause I was tired. Well, they were good after I made them turn down the stereo upstairs. HEHE!

Alabama won over Tennessee....didn't see the game but I did hear it on the radio.
12-10.....Tennessee came to play some football. Alabama struggled but Cody saved the day!
In the paper today Cody's play will go down as a historical moment for Alabama football.
I swear I thought we were going to lose!

Going to take the kids to the pumpkin patch today........Hubby and I always make a family day and take them, something we've always done. This year hubby won't be going but I am still taking them. I've gotten pretty good at doing things by myself with the kids.
I Love taking fall pictures with all of the pumpkins and scrapping them.
Gonna be a fun day!

Hope you have a fabulous Sunday!

Crappy Day

Hello my internet friends....Debbie Downer here! More of a vent than anything else......When I opened my eyeballs this morning, my day went to hell.
I got up and got ready for work.... my hair wouldn't fix, felt like crap, my clothes didn't dry, my kids wouldn't cooperate, and I was running late. I finally hurried everyone up and we were out the door by 6:10am. As I was going out the door my pups were laying on the front porch sound asleep. We got in the car which was 10 feet from the front porch and I put it in reverse. Well I hear a yelp....A LOUD YELP. I hit the favorite dog out of the 3 (whos suppose to be asleep on the front porch). I didn't run over him but I bumped him. I ran back to get my hubby to go check on the pup so I could go on. We were late without all of this.
I dropped the kids off at the bus stops and went on to work.
Needless to say, the dog has no broken bones but he has intestine damage and he's bleeding in his lungs. Hubby took him to the vet where they don't expect him to make it. I feel guilty, angry that I hurt the kids and hubby, and I feel stupid cause that dog was asleep before I walked that 10 feet to the car.
I stopped by the vet when I got off of work....I held the little guy, felt bad that I caused him to be suffering. He forgave me....he buried his head in my chest and kept wanting his ears scratched. Anyway, tomorrow I hope to know where we stand. If he makes it then he's going to be one spoiled little dog especially by me. I've never been that crazy about this dog yet I sent my family on a 8 hour drive to pick him up and sent some mega $$$ after finding him online.

Then the second phone call came in that my 19 yr old niece was rushed to the hospital with her heart. She has advanced stages of heart disease. Things aren't looking too great for her. Another blow to my crappy day. God I hope you give these doctors that knowledge to treat her and give her life. I've always been crazy about this girl! She was the little flower girl when I married my husband. I've watched her grow up since she was 4.

I'm personally not afraid of death but fearing death in others horrifies me. Once death occurs, you can never get back anything or make anything right again.
I struggle with this subject because we have jackasses who molest kids in prison and they'll live to be 90 yrs old. Only the good die young is a true saying.

Gotta have faith which is hard to have at times.

Here's to a better Thursday otherwise I'm going on a Margarita binge!

Bama # 1

After a lovely weekend, freezing my bum off, watching the game, cooking out and all other fun stuff that we did, I'm happy to announce that ALABAMA IS RANKED NUMBER 1!!!!!

T-Town and all of the BAMA fans couldn't be happier! I've gotten all into football this year. Unusual!!!!!!!....I've even told my hubby a few things about football players and rankings that he hadn't heard yet. ROFL
He asked me what was wrong with me!!! Oh nothing! Now if LSU will beat Auburn and I aint no LSU fan! LSU shouldn't have a problem since Kentucky just beat Auburn for the first time since 1966. Anywho, football is getting interesting. Mark Ingram is da bomb and I think we just might make it to a National Championship! Fingers Crossed!

Hope you have a great week!

Roll TIde!

Yay! Alabama won AGAIN! They played a great game although I do admit to napping from the 2nd quarter to the 4th quarter. Old women can't stay out late and be at work at the crack of dawn the next day. HEHE!
They're well on their way to beating LSU! ROFL (I have LSU fans in the family now) Whoda thunk it?

Great week so far around my neck of the woods....got to meet some of my bloodlines last weekend. I have pics but I rather scrap them and then share.
I've been editing them on Photoshop. I bought PS6 last year and I've never used it. Installed it this week and played with it.
I'm in love with turning a picture black and white then adding color on the colorful spots. Awesome accents to a plain pic! I have some ideas in my head but PS6 will take some time to learn.

Have a great Sunday!

Family History

It's come down to meeting a long list of family members that I've NEVER met before. I can't put my finger on my emotions but I am anxious. I am really glad that I'm going to see where my grandparents are buried...see their graves and be with ALL of my siblings at one time. This has never happened before! I am really excited to get a group picture as well. I know it won't look like most sibling pics since we're spaced out for 20 years. We didn't have our cute little bro/sis pics sitting by the Christmas tree....none of us ever laid eyes on each other until the past 6 months.
The kids and I are going to my biological fathers family reunion. I have a list of questions that I hope to get answered.
Anyway, I can't wait to see my 2 brothers and my sister again. I really love the time that I spend with them. It's good memories that I will NEVER forget.

I hope to learn more about the family, ancestory, some personal questions about my fathers life, and spending time with my siblings. This is going to be a great weekend that I almost passed up.

Hope that you're having a fantastic week. I am standing by for the weekend!
