TIME TO CUDDLE...

I CANT BELIEVE ITS ALREADY 1:30.. TIME HAS FLEW BY SINCE SCOTT GOT HOME. WE DIDNT GET TO SPEND MUCH TIME TOGETHER BUT JUST ONE MINUTE WITH HIM WAS WORTH THE WAIT. I REALLY DO MISS HIM SO MUCH WHEN HE WORKS LATE THEN GOES OFF TO PLAY SOFTBALL TILL AFTER 10 PM. IN A FEW MINUTES I AM GOING TO GO CUDDLE UP NEXT TO HIM AND START DREAMING.

TODAY WAS PRETTY NICE. IT WAS RELAXING...WELL PRETTY RELAXING..THE KIDS WERE PRETTY GOOD BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS ON THE GO..SO A FULL DAY OF NOTHING BUT RELAXATION IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE WHEN THEY ARE HERE! BUT WE HAD A GOOD TIME.

THEY MADE SOME FRIENDS A COUPLE DAYS AGO AND TODAY THEY ALL KNOCKED AT THE DOOR. BEFORE LONG THEY WERE HATCHING OUT THEIR PLAN IN MY DRIVEWAY FIGURING OUT WHAT TROUBLE THEY COULD GET INTO! ITS NICE THAT THERE ARE KIDS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THEM TO PLAY WITH. IN TOWN WE HAD NO KIDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT WE MOVE FAR OUT INTO THE COUNTRY AND KIDS ARE EVERY WHERE!

ITS SUCH A RELIEF TO BE OUT HERE. BEFORE SCOTT AND I MOVED HERE, WE LIVED IN A BEAUTIFUL CABIN ON OVER 50 ACRES OF PROPERTY. WE LOVED IT. WE SPENT MORE TIME OUTSIDE THAN WE DID IN THE HOUSE. THEN WE MOVED HERE AND MOVED INTO THIS ARTSY FARTSY AREA WITH TONS OF PEOPLE AROUND US. IT WAS REALLY HARD TO GET USE TO THE SOUND OF CARS AND MOTORCYCLES...NOT TO MENTION THE LIVE BANDS THAT PLAYED ALL WEEK JUST A FEW FEET FROM OUR FRONT DOOR...BOTH OF US HAD ENOUGH OF THAT. SO BACK TO THE WOODS WE CAME. ITS SO NICE TO BE IN A SECLUDED AREA WITH LOTS OF PRIVACY AND WITH ALL THE BEAUTY NATURE HAS TO OFFER. THE KIDS LIKE IT BETTER TOO. ITS ALSO STRANGE HOW WE SETTLED IN THIS LITTLE TOWN. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WE WOULD LOVE IT HERE SO MUCH. THERE IS NOTHING IN OUR LITTLE TOWN.. NO MAJOR RESTAURANTS BESIDES BOB EVANS AND JERRY'S, NO MALLS, NO NOTHING. AND WE ARE HAPPY. GO FIGURE..

TOMORROW I HAVE SOME SHOPPING TO DO...GOT TO GET READY FOR SCOTTS DAUGHTER COMING TO VISIT ON WEDNESDAY. I AM EXCITED ABOUT HER AND HER FAMILY COMING TO VISIT. HER FIANCE JERRED HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT SWEET AND KIND. HE IS CRAZY ABOUT HER AND THAT NEW BABY. I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW THEM MORE AND MORE AS TIME GOES BY. AND I CANT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THAT BABY ASHLYNN TOO! I AM SURE I WILL GET LOTS OF PICTURES!

MY SISTER IN LAW HAS BEEN IN A LOT OF PAIN LATELY. SHE LOST HER MOTHER AND DAUGHTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. ITS ALMOST BEEN 2 YEARS, YET THE PAIN IS OVER WHELMING TO HER. SHE WRITES A BLOG...http://trinajaggers.blogspot.com/....IN CASE YOU WOULD LIKE TO READ MORE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HER. BUT MY REASON FOR POSTING THIS ABOUT HER IS TO ASK YOU TO PUT HER IN YOUR PRAYERS. SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH A LOT AND NEEDS LOTS OF LOVE AND SUPPORT. I TOLD HER THAT SHE SHOULD SEE A DR AND ALSO GET INTO SOME GRIEF COUNSELING TO HELP HER COPE WITH HER PAIN.  NO ONE CAN WALK THROUGH THIS LIFE FOR HER, SHE HAS TO DO IT ON HER OWN. BUT WE CAN ALL BE THERE TO SHOW LOVE AND SUPPORT. I AM HOPING SHE STARTS FEELING BETTER. I KNOW HER MOTHER ( WHO I WAS SUPER CLOSE TO) AND ALSO HER DAUGHTER WOULD NOT WANT HER LIVING LIKE SHE IS. SHE HAS TO HOLD AND A PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER. SO PLEASE, IF YOU BELIEVE IN A HIGHER POWER AND ARE READING THIS, SAY A PRAYER FOR HER. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. AND SHE WOULD TOO.

WELL OFF TO BED SOON. THE KIDS DONT LET ME SLEEP TOO LATE. I AM LUCKY IF I GET TO SLEEP TILL 10...SOMETIMES JACKSON ALLOWS ME TO STAY IN BED TILL 11.. THOSE ARE GREAT MORNINGS! BRITTANY WILL SLEEP TILL 11:30 OR 12:00 MOST DAYS..SHE ALREADY ACTS LIKE A TEENAGER! I GET THE KIDS BREAKFAST READY RIGHT BEFORE BED AND THEY BOTH EAT WHEN THEY GET UP. LUCKY FOR ME JACKSON FINALLY GETS HIMSELF UP AND PLAYS QUITE OR WATCHES TV OR THE WII UNTIL EVERYONE IS UP. THAT IS A LIFE SAVER!!!!

SWEET DREAMS FRIENDS
