MONDAY MORNING BLAHS

HELLO, THIS MORNING I HAD A CASE OF THE MONDAY MORNING BLAHS. HAVE YOU HAD THOSE?? I MEAN, WHERE, YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING?? I SLEPT TILL 1100AM, BUT I DID NOT WANT TO GET UP THEN. I DID THOUGH, BECAUSE MY AUNT AND SOME SENIOR CITIZENS FROM HER CHURCH WERE COMING TO THE PARKER HOUSE FOR AN AFTERNOON OF FOOD AND FUN. MY FAMILY AND I WERE THE HOSTS. WE HAD CHICKEN SALAD CROSSANTS, AND ALL KINDS OF FRUIT AND CHIPS. WE HAD PINAPPLE CAKE, PECAN PIE, AND MY AUNT'S POUND CAKE. WE HAD A BALL, JUST TALKING, TELLING STORIES, AND MY DADDY HAD A GREAT TIME SHOWING OFF HIS ANTIQUES. I LOVE TO WATCH HIM. HE HAS A STORY FOR EVERYTHING, AND SOMETIMES, I WONDER IF HE IS JUST MAKING IT ALL UP,LOL,LOL.BUT ANYWAY, EVEN IF HE DOES, OH WELL. I STILL LOVE HIM TO DEATH. HE TOOK ALL OF THE OLD PEOPLE IN ON HIS TRACTOR AND TRAILER. I RODE WITH THEM. IT WAS SO FUNNY TO HEAR THEM TALK. WE FINISHED EATING AND THEY STAYED FOR A WHILE TO TALK, THEN WE CLEANED UP TO GET READY FOR THIS SATURDAY. WE ARE GOING BACK THERE WITH THE YOUTH FROM CHURCH TO HAVE A COOKOUT AND GAMES. IT WILL BE FUN. I GOT HOME THIS AFTERNOON AND TALKED WITH MY BEST FRIEND, LEAH. SHE CALLED AND WE TALKED FOR A WHILE. SHE HAS BEEN REALLY BUSY, GETTING READY TO MOVE TO ANOTHER HOUSE. WE LOVE THEM SO MUCH. I HAVE TO GO TO WORK IN THE AM. I HAVE TO WORK TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY. I HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH EVERYONE IN BLOGGERLAND AND I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT EVENING.

SATURDAY NIGHT SINGING

HEY TO EVERYONE, I HOPE ALL IS WELL. I AM FEELING A LITTLE BETTER, MY EAR IS STILL STOPPED UP. I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY MEDS.YESTERDAY WE DID SOME THINGS AROUND HOME, AND I SLEPT SOME. WE WENT TO OUTBACK FOR DINNER AND WENT TO HELP WITH THE HAUNTED HOUSE. IT WAS LATE WHEN WE GOT HOME. TODAY, I RAN SOME ERRANDS IN TOWN. I CAME HOME TO GET READY FOR THE YOUTH ACTIVITY TONIGHT. THEY HELPED WITH THE BUS MINISTRY FALL FESTIVAL AND THEN TONIGHT WE ALL WENT TO RUBY TUESDAY AND WENT TO SOMERSET COURT TO SING. WE HAD A BALL. YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY DO GO TO BE A BLESSING, BUT WHEN YOU LEAVE, YOU ARE THE ONE THAT IS BLESSED MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY.I FEEL SO UNWORTHY TO EVEN STAND THERE AND SING, BUT THE LORD IS USING US FOR HIS HONOR AND GLORY AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS. I SAW A FEW PEOPLE THAT I KNEW. THEY BOTH DID NOT HAVE A CLUE WHO I WAS, BUT JUST TO SEE THEM WAS A REAL JOY. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR GOOD HEALTH,MY EAR INFECTION IS VERY MILD, COMPARED TO THESE PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS. I AM SO BLESSED TO HAVE PARENTS IN GREAT HEALTH AND CAN COME AND GO AS THEY PLEASE. ALSO, I COULD BE SEEING MY GRANDMOTHER IN ONE OF THOSE PLACES, BUT THE LORD SPARED HER THIS YEAR. WE ARE A BLESSED FAMILY. JUST TO SEE THOSE PEOPLE'S SMILING FACES WERE ENOUGH FOR ME. I MISS WORKING I THE NURSING HOMES. THEY ARE SUCH SWEET PEOPLE. I THINK WE WERE A BLESSING TONIGHT, BUT I RECIEVED A LOT OF BLESSINGS MYSELF TONIGHT. I AM GOING TO FIND THOSE SWEET DREAMS, AND I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT SUNDAY IN THE LORD.

I WISH I COULD SAY I FELT REAL GOOD TODAY, BUT I DO NOT. LAST NIGHT, I HAD THE WORST EAR ACHE, AND I DID NOT SLEEP GOOD AT ALL. I TOOK SOME MEDICENE BUT I STILL FELT BAD TODAY. I DID GO TO WORK THOUGH, MAINLY BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO CALL IN. I HOPE TO FEEL BETTER SOON. I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY MEDS AND PUTTING MY DROPS IN MY EARS. PLEASE PRAY THE FLUID DISSAPEARS. I AM FINALLY OFF OF WORK , FOR A FEW DAYS.I AM STILL RECOVERING AFTER VACATION AND AFTER THE RACE THIS WEEKEND. WE HAD A GREAT TIME, IT WAS SO LATE WHEN WE GOT HOME.

HOLA,HOLA,HOLA!!! WELCOME HOME!!
Greetings from Mexico!! We finally arrived at approximately 12:33pm today. We had a great flight, with no problems. We got checked in the hotel, ate lunch,and then went to make dinner reservations. This hotel is by far, the prettiest place. It is filled with beautiful décor,and marble floors everywhere. It is just simply gorgeous!!! We ate dinner at the “steak house” tonight. We each had ribeyes,baked potato,grilled corn on the cob,and grilled veggies. It was wonderful. We are going to a show later on tonight. Internet is $8 for 1 hr, so I may have to update the blog every few days, so stay tuned. Love ya’ll and I wish you could see this hotel!!!
