I have been away from my blog for some time now. I'm pretty sure that I have no more followers that check my site. That is OK. This is for me.
I have a friend who is gravely ill from a operation. I miss her dearly. We didn't see each other as often as we would have liked but when we did, we enjoyed each others company. She is an amazing friend. The kind you didn't see for months and call out of the blue to tell everything too. Her last message to me was, "miss you baby girl" GOD I miss her!
It is coming up on 6 months since she has uttered a word, seen her son, kissed her husband, hugged her parents, or spoke to friends. I cannot imagine what she is going through. I just wish she would give us a sign that she is still in there. Punch a doctor, smack a nurse, kick a resident, steal her room mates food. ANYTHING! But alas we see no change. Her husband struggles with the delicate balance of knowing he is doing everything possible to try to help her while still respecting her wishes. He is unbelievably strong. He works, visits her and still takes care of their 5 year old son.
No one can help, no one has miracles in their pockets to give away. It has been 6 long months and I don't know what is taking our miracle so long. I will just keep praying and wishing.

High School
Its hard on kids to enter High School. I knew that, What I didn't know was that it's hard on parents too!
The fine line we walk as parents has too many twists and turns, your bound to fall off once in a while. Its how you pick yourself back up and start walking again, that is the true test.

8th Grade Graduation & Semi-Formal
That's it! No more Jr. High. I am being a stupid head about it too! I should be happy that I have a smart, beautiful, happy, healthy daughter. Instead I am wallowing in self pity because my daughter is growing up. I should be happy. I should be happy. I should be happy. I am telling my self this over and over.
I am happy that she is turning out so well.
She is a great kid.
At 13 there is no reprogramming her if I made a mistake. Nothing can change the way I have raised her. What if I screwed up? What if I forgot to tell her something and now that she is going to be in high school we all know she isn't going to listen to me. What if I missed my window to give her advice?
Lots of what ifs.....
I may not be cool in her eyes anymore
I may not be smart in her eyes anymore
BUT I am the one who loves her with all my heart and soul! I pray to God that she can see that. My baby girl I love you!!!
Love,
Mommy
PS I truly missed my parents last night. They would have been so VERY proud of their Katie. So so VERY PROUD!

New Furniture coming!
Saturday we get our new Furniture! I cannot wait. It is so comfortable. I will def take pictures and post once it is delivered. I was also invited to a jeweler part but I don't think i can go b/c of the time frame they give you for delivery of the furniture. I do hate that, but what can you do.
Sunday we are going on a Motorcycle Run for a Cop that died. The funds raised go to his kids college fund I think. It just happens to be run by one of my customers and his wife. Funny coincidence since its in another state.
Not much going on here. Hope all is well with you and yours!
Take Care

Back to work!
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Having 4 days off is great. Cleaned Friday, Cleaned & Had Sons First Communion Saturday He swigged from the chalice like it was the last liquid in a desert, He did amazing and looked like a little angel. I was super tense and I don't know why but Hubby couldn't do a thing right that day. Sorry Babe, I was channeling my Inner Kate Plus 8!!!! Sunday was the party!!! I cleaned up the last few things (floor, bathroom, vacuum), hubby and Princess "tried" to set up the volleyball net UGH! Then hubby and The Boy went on the "Ice & Cake run". He didn't get back until 1 hour before the party! Wal-Mart, Lowes, Liquor store, Stop & Shop, Ice Store. Busy guy, umm ladies he even thought to get bug spray and sun lotion, what a guy! As he pulled in the sky went dark. Pulling the first chairs out, rain fell. As I snap the table cloths in the air over the table you hear the first crack of thunder! Oh what beautiful weather to have a huge party was my first thought! It passed in about 30 minutes or so. Thank you God! Beer, Bar, Soda, snacks all set up. Chairs, tables, lemonade DONE! Bounce house Check! Thanks to my friends Heather and Chris YAY!!! Thanks for that it was a hit! People arrived and we were off! Hubby got his buddy to help him finish the volleyball net and OH he built a Horse shoe pit too! Every one seemed to have a great time. Food arrived a tad late but it was fine. The food was good, even better that I didn't have to cook it....lol....I was a little disappointed in some of it but everyone else was happy with it. Maybe I was just being persnickety.
Everyone showed up that said they were coming for the most part. I had double the food I needed even though I ordered for 50 people and had 60 ish. OH Hubby's grandma that we broke int he first 10 hours of moving here form VA was able to come! She was very excited to see our home. We were so happy to have her there. My Aunt Sandie came too. She was the one that was so sick in the hospital a while back. She looked great! Looked like her self again. I caught hell again for not showing up to Cousin Beth's for Miss Anna's First Communion. Beth did however say that she should have sent the invites earlier. Thank you Beth!!! LOL.....All our friends and family were very generous and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts for sharing this day with our family, your generosity is much appreciated!
PS Don't worry that isn't the thank you note. I will get some out soon..LOL

First Communion!
It happening today! He seems pretty excited about it. He is a "collector" during mass. I am hoping he doesn't forget his timing as to when to get up and what not. I am excited for him to be receiving. They are offering the kids the blood of Christ(wine) too. Not sure how I feel about that but I guess there's not much I can do if he chooses to accept it. I don't really have a problem with it but Hubby does. There is no photography during the ceremony. Father will re-create it for us to take pictures. I hate that, but it would be a mess if everyone was taking pictures of each child.
I have been trying to get the house clean and doing the shopping etc. The party will be tomorrow. I have a count @ 64ish. I will be glad once it starts. Everyone will get here for 2pm then the caterer will be here for 3:30 to serve for 4pm. I am thankful I don't have to cook. I ordered the cake in town. So the only things left are ice and the cake!
Have safe Memorial Day Weekend & Than a veteran this weekend!

Good Monday Morning
How was your weekend? Ours was great. I got my shopping for Emma's birthday done. I got her 4 Calvin Klein outfits and a Ralph Lauren out fit. They are tooo cute! Got Princess shoes for her dress. They fit weird so I have to bring them back. Grr! Mothers day started with a nice breakfast club followed by going o see Hubby's grandma and bringing her her plant and card. Then it was home bound for the MIL coming over at noon. Got dinner on the table for around 1 ish. We got MIL a Tupperware Cake taker and Tommy Hilfiger PJ's and Easy Spirit slippers, and an oil change! She got me a Cooks Essentials Electric small buffet server for 2 dishes. Kids and Hubby got my hair done for me. Hubby was off too work and then we had to leave for a soccer game. MIL stayed at the house, good call on her part. It was freezing! Then we came home and watched Under the Tuscan sun, Ehh so so movie. Then Sound of music started, 7 PM MIL still here, The boy got in the shower and by 8:30 MIL had left and The boy was in bed! Oh I almost forgot, Princess made me popcorn too! Watched DHW and the Brothers & Sisters. Love those shows. Off to bed for Mothers Day 2009!
I am off to the doctors this morning for the boy! We have a 9:45 am appt. After that I will drop him at school and head to work late. I hope no one came in while I was out.
