Time flys

Hello I know it's been a few weeks since my last blog! Wyatt has taken an interest in the computer again and has been using it a lot so I have had to share. His "girlfriend" told him about this sight to play games on and he is hooked. He will be using computers so much in his future that I am glad he has an interest even if it is to play games right now. I had to take today off from work with Wyatt due to a rash on his body (even on his face and top of his head). We thought it was an allergic reaction to something he ate or was exposed to, but nope he has a viral infection which there is no quick cure! He isn't contagious to adults, but other kids can get it from him. I gave him something to help with the itch he hasn't complained to much about it..he is playing it tough. He thanked me for taking him to the doctors and for staying home with him GOD I love this kid!! How many hugs can you give your child in one day...what ever the amount it's honestly never enough!!
This month has been a very busy month for me..working 10 hour days has been great, I am tired but happy to have Fridays off. Wyatt likes it as well. Stephen has been so good taking over the dinner preparations and some of my afternoon chores.
Matilda the puppy has become Matilda the wild puppy and she is so big almost double the size she was when we brought her home. She and Lady Bird are buddies and hang out together all the time. Birdie lays in front of Tillies kennel at night and if Tillie whines Birdie will whine to help her wake us..it seems like Birdie is alerting us to Tillies needs. To cute!
A year ago this month a very good friend of mine lost her brother-in-law in a motorcycle accident. It was a terrible day for her and as her friend I felt her lose even though I had never had the pleasure of meeting Joe. I along with 2 other close friends attended the funeral to show our support for JoAnn and I have to tell you it was a beautiful tribute to an incredible man. A man that left a wife (who is an strong woman) and two adorable children and a family that loved him so very much. I have been so honored to have met this family and spent time with all of them if I didn't have such a wonderful family of my own I would want to be adopted by this family. I know that my friend JoAnn is hurting right now and I have no power to help other than to show my support she knows how much she means to me and how much I care. My wish for today is that true justice will come to this family and the man who killed him (the accident wasn't Joe's fault) will suffer and the "Elf landscaping company"(the people that driver of the truck that killed Joe works for) will suffer as well!! Judgment day will come for all of them and they will have to answer to a higher power than any of us can imagine!
Make sure to tell those special people in your life that you love them, hug your children and grandchildren! For tomorrow may never come and who wants to live with regret. So to all those people in my life and you all know who you are..I love you even if I don't say it often enough and you are a part of what makes me whole!

Happy 4th of July

Happy Independence Day everyone! And Happy Birthday JoAnn!! Today is a day when most gather and fire up the grill hoping all day that the rain will hold out so the fireworks aren't cancelled. I on the other hand will be spending my 4th alone! Wyatt is with Grammie and Grampa Light today and going to his dads this afternoon for the weekend. He is excited about going to the skate park again this weekend. He and Grammie came down yesterday and picked up bikes. Stephen is working today and I will be going grocery shopping and making my weekly stop at Walmart. We will have our BBQ this evening and maybe a nice bonfire (i might even pick up some Sam Adams Light for us to celebrate with).
They are trying something new for the summer at work..4 day work weeks. So starting Monday I will be working 10 hours with the payoff being Fridays off. I like the idea of having 3 day weekends for the summer and it will give me an extra day a week with Wyatt. I find myself longing to be with Wyatt more as he grows older knowing that one day my time with him will be shared with so many more people. You take for granted when they a little that they will always be around. We spend the first few years chasing them around keeping them safe and out of everything. Now that he is 10 being around mom isn't the cool thing so I am willing to steal even the short moments savoring them. One day he will understand why I might hug him a little tighter and a whole lot longer, why I say "I love you" a couple extra times at bedtime, or why I stare at him trying to burn into my memory every little feature on his face.(he will understand the day his first child is born)
I hope everyone has a great day! Enjoy the long weekend and always be safe!
