Fun Day With Robbie

I'm waiting for my little Robbie to come over. I'm watching him this afternoon while his mom goes to an Attorneys office with her mom. They are trying to probate the Gramma's will but one of the daughter's of Gramma, sold some property to help her drug problem and forged her mom's name. The property had to be given back to the Estate and now they are getting a handwriting expert to prove the Document was forged.  Its a real mess. But I get to have Robbie for the afternoon which is good!! They are to be in Charleston at 11am...but...here it is 10;30 am and they are not here...which is par for the course with my DIL. Very sweet, but she can't be on time to save her soul....im sure the attorney will not be so thrilled.

Guess what the temperature was HERE yesterday!?? It will freak you out! Freaked me out!! It was 78 degrees. BEAUTIFUL DAY!!! Imagine that...78...it was unreal. But....today it is 56, raining and by this evening it will have dropped to 20 and the rain will turn to blasted snow...jeez...I'm so sick of snow.

Madison started soccer practice last evening. Guess we'll be off to games shortly!! I don't mind as long as it's not raining or snowing. lol Madison started playing Goalie last season and did a pretty good job. Have a good day, and take care!

Just Stuff...

Today I went to my best friend's Daddy's funeral about an hour and a half away. We went to High School together and is one of the gals I go have lunch with about once a month.  I've known them for 50 years.  What a great dad he was. What a great person he was. He was 89 and in extremely poor health. Thankfully he has gone on to a much better place. He was laid to rest pretty close to my Dad, so I took the time to go say hello and tell him how mom was. I hadn't been to see him since August.

Yesterday I went to what I thought might be my last visit for my knee but he said it was not ready for the final X`rays as it was still warm...I go back in 3 more months. I've been going to Rehab on my own since it was officially over. It's only $30 a month to use it. Pretty cheap. I will be truthful and say I'm really tired of going...but I will. It will help me get further extension in the bend. It's 123 degrees now. My other knee isn't that good. lol

Sunday Kelly, Madison, Brien, Robbie and myself went to a Brunch to see our friends who flew in from Denver and their baby Henry alias Hank, who was born 6 hours after Robbie!! We all thought that was amazing. Hank came 2 weeks early. His momma is tiny and he had no where to go & grow so they had to take him early. He weighed 4 lbs, Robbie weighed 8 - We put them on the blanket together and they kicked one another, not really realizing there was another person beside them...I guess they are too young. things will be different the next time they come in!!

Last Friday, the  my nephew and his family came to visit for the weekend. They live in Winston-Salem, NC. 5.5 hours away. It was great having them. They have 2 kiddos. Andi (girl) 4 and Tyson who is 5 and can read like no body's business. He is one smart little dude!!!  Andi got sick Sat. night and threw up in the bed and had diarrhea, but we cured that with Imodium I had just bought it for our grandkids in case of emergency! Good Timing!! My sister and Brother in law came Sunday at noon and they and their son & family went to see mom for 2 hours before heading home. I didn't get to see her because they were gone by the time we got back. 

Well, that's about all that is new around here! Will be back soon!! Have a good week!

Update on the Girls

I thought I update you on our girls as you haven't seen them for a year or more. Reilly on the left is now 7 years old and is getting so TALL. She remains thin and is great at gymnastics and in love with her Kindle. Seems like all she does is play games on that thing. I'll take it away sometimes and tell her to do something else for awhile. She likes to make up crazy silly dances which are so funny and remains my junk food junkie. I think when she get a little more serious, she could become very good at Gymnastics. She makes straight A's in school and at times she gets a little less grade in "paying attention" for too much talking. (Sorta' reminds me of myself at her age.)  She is a very sweet kiddo and a GREAT big sister to her brother Robbie.

 

Madison on the other hand, looks older than her 9 years and certainly acts older. It's scary sometimes how smart she is. She is our social butterfly and goes non stop to birthday parties, ball games, on a shuffleboard team, loves to dance and sing. Madison gets mostly all A's. Reading and math give her trouble sometimes and she'll get a B.  I guess just a typical 9 year old. Madison eats more normal good food, just eats a little too much and is a tad overweight. She is a take charge type of person and knows everyone and everybody, in part due to her mom. They are on the go constantly. Madison playes soccer both indoors and out and is on a traveling team that does really well. She is the Goalie.

 

Just seems like the other day when they were little like Robbie. Where in the WORLD does the time go? Does this mean I'm getting Older? Jeez. hope not....Doesn't feel like I am till I look in the mirror.

 

Yesterday little Robbie turned 4 months old already and sitting up a lot better. He is babbling more and smiles all the time. He is also a great drinker and loves his bottle!! He is getting a cute little belly. Just perfect for squeezing  and rubbing!



Storm to Arrive

Last night we watched Reilly and Robbie while mom and dad went to listen to one of their friends play guitar and sing at a bookstore in town. Next Tuesday Robbie will be 4 months old ALL READY!! hard to believe. Both he and Reilly were very good all evening. Nary a cry from Robbie, just a bunch of gargles and smiles. Their parents came home around 12:15 am and decided instead of waking the kids they'd spend the night. And...usually I couldn't care less, only this time we are having overnight guests this coming weekend and now I've got to change the beds in both bedrooms....grrrrr.
I had them all ready....perhaps I'm being unkind....but....more work for me.

I am doing up the laundry this morning because the storm is suppose to knock out electric in certain areas. This storm they are referring to as a "Major Storm". It's starting now with a little rain, which will turn to sleet then ice that will measure 1/2 inch and take out the electric and trees. I hate ice storms. They are so destructive. After the ice storm it will return to sleet and then turn to snow. We are expected to get 6-8 inches of heavy wet snow. So, we are not looking forward to this at all. Son
Brien has our generator. We have the gas fireplaces and they will keep us warm if the electric should go out.

I'm off to change Mom's bandage. I'm sure I won't be able to get over there until Tuesday afternoon.
If her electric goes off, we'll have to try and get her here somehow. She won't want to go because of her kitty - she might have to come too. Just have to wait and see how it goes. I doubt there will be school, which means Madison will be coming over, if her mom goes to work. Not sure how she'll get here... we have 2 steep hills between the road and our house. She might have to trudge thru the snow!If you don't hear from me for  a few days - I have no electric.
