This is Great, and from Dear Abby:

Each man and woman who laid down a life for this country was someone loved and cherished by family and friends. They are deeply missed. We are all diminished by their deaths, as indeed, we are enriched by the example of their courage and dedication.

The Library!

Today was Brady Joseph Dixon's introduction to The Carrollton Library.

First order of business was to head to 7-11 to get Brady a slurpee. Then to Taco Bueno to get grandma a taco and iced tea. THEN to the car wash. We decided on the one on Hebron as we get to ride in the car through that car wash (before they clean the interior). Brady likes to watch the soap, and brushes, the rinses, etc.

THEN - The Library. Brady is really into books. We walk into the Library, and I explained to him that you have to "whisper" while in the Library, and he did not forget that even one time. He chose 7 books pretty darned quick (most of them about animals, 2 about Santa). Then he whispered, "grandma, lets buy them!". I explained to him that we get to "borrow" them and when we bring them back we can borrow 7 more. He liked this plan. We checked out our books on their nifty machine, and headed back to grandma's house. We read the longest one about the Bengal Tiger and the little Kitty that needed a name. We packed all 7 books in a paper bag with handles and he and mommy took them home with him. It was a great day with the little toot!

I am so blessed!

Now I am waiting for the rain to start, car is spotless!

Get Over IT!

This is a "Bit" on KISS FM, and it is a nice distraction from all the worries of our world.

Listeners call in with their "Get Over It" statements.......for example:

"I am a young black man dating the hottest blonde white girl in Dallas - Get Over It!!"
"I am engaged to your ex-husband and he bought me a Tiffany 2-carat engagement ring - Get Over It!!"

Here's mine: "I am a 54 year old woman who just finished the 3rd book in the Twilight series - Get Over It!!". ha ha ha........

A little fiction never hurt anyone!!!

Mother's Day!

Mother's Day......ahhh what a wonderful day! I thank God for my mother, that He blessed me with being a mother, and that he blessed Nicole with being a mother! God is great and God is good, we are so blessed.

Nicole, Ally, Zach, Brady and I celebrated with gifts and food at On The Border (thanks to my boss for the OTB gift card!). Brady just had to sit by grandma, which made me smile ear-to-ear, but Nicole will probably not invite me next year! lol......

Ally, Zach and Brady helped me create a special Mug for their wonderful mommy (with their autographs and sentiments) that we baked in the oven! We went shopping during the week, so they could spend their own money to buy mommy special gifts, and she treasured them all.

Brian is in Houston trying out for America's Got Talent, and if he wins, he has promised Nicole she can have one more baby! I am praying hard!!! You never know, next year their might be four kiddos at the celebration!

Let's all remember - "No one loves you like your mama does!".

Thank you God for blessing our lives with children.
