Grandmom in law is gone


Posted by Sun T.

After a promising recovery show, my grandmother in law passed over this evening. I knew something didn’t feel right today. Something was just totally off. I couldn’t get my mind right to do anything. I was completely discombobulated. I got myself together just enough to make a mediocre dinner and whisk my child off to church services tonight. The call came in around 8pm.

So now, it is with a heavy heart, I release my last remaining grandmother to God. Yes, she was my grandmother by marriage, but she had a heart of gold. No one could say that she was anything but a beautiful, genuine person. She loved me like her own. She and my son couldn’t understand each other’s words very well, but they both spoke the language of unconditional love. He is angry and questioning why this had to happen. My husband is beside himself with grief. I am trying my best to keep my brave face on so I can hold my family up to God. There weren’t complications, so this is completely unexpected. I am sure that my father in law is having a fit, himself, since she was his mother whom he loved fully and completely.

We all still love you Mami Hilda. You are always going to be the epitome of awesome. No one on this earth will ever make rice like you did, although I have gotten pretty close. Thanks for handing me the secret! We all know that you are now relaxing in Paradise. Say hi to my grandmother and Miss Wendy for me.


The man who invented heels

should be horsewhipped. I think I had on a pair for about 2 hours and thought I had contracted Plantar Fasciitis! UGH! They hurt so badly, I had people asking me what was wrong with me. They didn’t used to feel so terrible on my feet, but it’s like now I guess I am older and can’t just grin and bear the pain of trying to be pretty anymore. I am not ready to downgrade to Dr. Scholl’s or anything, but it sure does make you understand why so many women do.

Today is a huge day


Posted by Sun T.

I need prayer, but I cannot tell you why. All I can tell you is that this is a day that will either make or break our future. It will determine so much in just a few hours. Please pray that the outcome is agreeable. I am on pins and needles right now. I keep praying and praying and trying to calm my nerves. I am dropping everything, my hands are shaking!!! UGH! Anxiety rears it’s ugly head. I feel an attack coming on full throttle. We leave in another 2 hours. Please pray with us. Thank you all!!!


Get connected, win a car

I have been looking into alternatives to the mainstream companies that provide internet, tv, and phone services. One company I was looking into was Charter. They have pretty reasonable prices. The only problem is that they don’t have service where I live. That’s too bad, especially since their all inclusive package is only $99.97 per month for a year AND they automatically enter you to win a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid when you sign up for their service. You can also register to win without purchase, but you still have to live inside their provider area. I have always wanted a Honda, and a hybrid in this economy would be a blessing! It would also be nice to have one provider for all my tv, surfing, and talking needs.

Ah, well. Hopefully, they will get into my area soon. I think they should have an email sign up so you can suggest an area, and get an email when they do come to your neck of the woods.

In the mean time, go check and see if you are eligible to enter the sweepstakes. You never know, you might just win. I will just continue to sit here and read about the 45 miles per gallon highway mileage, mp3 input jack, usb connection for music, and the sweet shiny polished metal!


And we are live…

from my living room ! LOL! I am in the middle of washing/drying 2 loads of laundry while I wait for free bread day to begin again. I also have to exchange something at the local grocery store, all the while hoping my son stays asleep long enough for me to do all of it and be home again before he notices. Sometimes, you just want to do things alone, you know what I mean? Maybe he and his father will both be up in time to be with each other so I can just get it all done. I also have a few other things on my mind, like finishing the kitchen cleaning that I began last night and calling a few friends who have free minutes on weekends. I am also avidly avoiding a few people, but I digress. What does your day look like?

Hanging out at the coffee house


Posted by Sun T.

I was fortunate enough to be able to chill with people from my church and another church tonight at Young Adults meeting. We went to the coffee house nearby, had some lovely refreshments, and great talk about purity. I am really into this coffee house setting for things like this. This is my second time going, and I hope to attend the next ones. It’s hard, though, since my husband usually works Friday nights.

We are talking about starting a mom’s group for us to all hang out with or without the kids. There aren’t any mom groups in our area that we know of who are Christian and want to just meet up for some fun times, maybe a little learning to knit/crochet, and give our kids social interaction. I hope that we will be able to start that in early January, after all the holiday hubbub is out of the way. It should be fun!
