Well, maybe I will start this up again. It just seems like I just stay really busy with work, work, work. Sometimes I just get tired of working all the time but that's what pays the bills.

I just got back from Oregon and I had a relaxing time. We didn't do much but that was okay because it was nice just hanging out with Julie.

I got back home last night after a very loooong day. I traveled for 19 hours and it was a long day.

I called my mom today and she has surgery scheduled for next Wednesday.It is going to be a major surgery. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I will let you know how things turn out.

This is just going to be short and sweet because I need to head to bed since I start my day with work again.

I have been slacking on this area but maybe I can get it back on track again.

I took the day off and spent it with the boys. We went to the beach and had a great time. We road a shuttle boat over to an island and we had a blast. The boys swam on the gulf side for awhile and then they swam on the bay side for awhile. The boys climbed on the big rocks and it was really fun. They saw several manta rays and were able to get really close to them. When we got back to the area that we left on the boat they saw a dolphin playing in the water. What a beautiful sight. It was just a great day. There was a man there that also let them try out the surf board. They were hanging ten.

After leaving there we headed to get something to eat and we ended up at Taco Bell. The boys ate everything they ordered. It is funny how the sun, beach, water , and wind can build up an appetite.

I also took off tomorrow and I am going to go get my car serviced. Since I have to take it to the shop I decided to give it a good washing this afternoon.

Mom is doing okay. She has good days and bad days. She has had a time with diarrhea. She has lost forty pounds because of it and they can't figure out what is causing it. I sure hope they can figure it out. The heart doctor told her that things were going good there and that he did not need to see her again unless there was a problem. Just keep her in your prayers.

We had a good visit at the beginning of the month with my dad. It was his 75th birthday and all the siblings were together. We all meet at Cracker Barrel and had lunch and visited, done some catching up and took pictures. It was good to have us all together for a happy occasion.

I am going to call it a night. The time is catching up to me and it is time to call it a night. Have a great weekend............

Gosh has it been that long since I have updated. Most of that was due to the fact that my computor was not working right but I should not have that problem anymore since I have a new one now.

All is well here other than it is a little colder than I would like it, I am ready for some warmer weather. I don't like cold weather.

My mom had a bad week this past one. She has bad days and good days. I will be going back to see her in a couple of weeks. I am trying to go at least every six weeks.

I went ot the doctor today and all is well. My blood work came back good and my blood pressure was great.

I need to get some bills paid. Have a great day.

I said that I was going to try and post on a regular basis so here goes nothing. There isn't a lot going on around here other than working all the time. I will have Christmas Day off and the first of January, but other than that it is work, work, work.

On Saturday I will probably be going to spend the day with the boys. We are planning on spending the morning making cookies and candy. Sounds like fun. This is right up Christopher's alley because he loves to cook.

Mom seems to be doing better every day. She just found out the she has cataracts and she will be going to the the doctor the end of this month. She said that is the reason that she hasn't been able to see very well. She did tell me the they went out to a Mexican restaurant last week and that was good to hear. Slowly but surely she is getting better.

I have most of my Christmas shopping done. I have only a couple of gifts left to buy and then I get to shop for mom and Alan. It is just easier for me to do it because I know what the kids like. I will probably do some of it this weekend.

Well, I am going to call this an update and get started on something else. Have a great day and stay warm.
