I know this may be really hard for many of you to believe but my baby boy is 18. Shock I know that I could possibly have a third son that age. I also am looking around for the old women who had these children. I just cant wrap my brain around it being me. I feel so young think I am so young and then I stand next to and crowd into my kitchen with 6'4", 6'1" and 6'41/2" boys and MOllie who keeps her elbows out. I then believe oh this is my life. Samuels girlfriend brought a cup cake with a candle this morning before school and woke him up. Very fun. I made oat meal for Michael and Mollie and took it to them, Michael in bed and MOllie already up. Samuel requested eggs and chees, I made that for Michael, Samuel and kelsey. I had already made his birhtday cake this am. I am now waiting for it to be ready to decorate. I don't work today till 10 so that was a nice mornig. I am still going to my guy who helps me to lift weights and exercise. I don't know what I would do with out him. (OH really I do know, nothing) My shoulders are not hurting anymore. I had had tingling donw one arm and kept a sore back and knee. I feel myself getting stronger, it is perfect timing. This time of year is really hard on the body. Everybody and their brother want to get there hair done. Great for me and now even better because I can handle it.
I got out pictures of the first year of samuels life. My heart couldn't be fuller. What an incredibly blessed women I am. I see those sweet babies and remember the fun I had raising them (that fun did stop for a few years I do not have amnesia) They are so cute.
We are waiting for our neighbor to have their new little baby. Trying not to ask, oh how are you doing and when do you think questions, but can't wait.
I finally got a neighbor boy to work for me some. I am really getting so behind on the house. He is leaving for Iraq in a month so I like being with him anyway. I have grape vines that are taking over parts of the yard I think it is now three years since they have been delt with. Everyone always says why aren't your boys doing that. Well theyu are in school working and like all kids. When I set a date and time they are so good to help. It is the everyday little things that I just need some help with. I ccan tell Philip what to do and he just does it. No attitude or a better way of doing it. The right way, you know.
School is great for the kids, they are all doing very well. Michael is making all A's so far. I am so proud of him. He is doing good here and keeping up with school For the moment all things seem calm. I am seeing God working in all our lives and for the moment mine is easy.
I have a bible study that started on Tue in the shop with four of us. I am going to like the stretching that we are going to get. It doens't start till 8:30 so we are all ready to settle in.
I hope you are getting to enjoy the cool wearther, I am needing the dark to go away some. The other night I was so weary and thought I just have to get in bed. I got all snuggled in and looked at the clock and it was 8:15. I thought oh brother is it ever going to be a long winter,
I see MIke everywhere. I put on his work pants that I use for painting to go to a neighbors house last night to paint, and it felt so strang to not hae him say something about them. Life goes on doesn't it?
