HELLOOOOOOO WORLD!!!!

Hello Dear Ones!!!   Ohhhh Myyyy Goshhhhhhh!!!!   Almost a year has passed since my last entry.   Surprised    Is it just me, or are the days turning into seconds, Months turning into a single day and a whole year as if it was just last week???   O.K. .... hmmm .... so what has Kitty been up too????   Welllllll....do you have your seat belt buckled???  Wink    Well...when I left off on the last post I had shared with you all about my Aunt.  Well...she and I fought the cancer with a vengance.  She went through Chemo (28 day cycle...Chemo 3 times a week for a week then 28 days latter back for her next round)   Let me tell you all....CHEMO IS ROUGH.  My heart hurt so much for her because come the week after the treatment the affects of it would hit her hard and oooo how sick she would become.  She received chemo for 4 months.  Then in February (2 weeks before her 68th birthday) the Doctor told us that the chemo had done all that it possibly could, the tumor in the lung was shrunk to a nugget and contained (since she was not a candidate for surgery the doc said chemo was her only option) and that she was as good as she was going to get.  We celebrated her 68th birthday with a bang!!  Ingram Hill was covered with family members "I" had never even met before and many that Aunt Barb hadn't seen in years.  It was a weekend long party!!!  Then....2 weeks later....bad news.  The cancer had reared it's ugly head again and grew with a vengance.  Mother's Day came and Aunt Barb celebrated it quietly with all of her kids and siblings by her side....I could see in her eyes and body language that she was telling them good-bye....and I cried....ohhh how I cried.  Then....one week after Mother's Day she went semi-comatose and within 48 hours she quietly and peacefully went to sleep and with all of us kids and loved ones gathered around an Angel of the Lord took her by the hand and led her home.   WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.  But....her suffering is over.  No more pain and sorrow will she experience and now she's fishing at the banks of the crystal sea with my beloved Brother.   It still hurts....I still cry....but NEVER would I want my beloved Aunt to choose to come back to us that love her and suffer like she suffered over the life in eternal paradise that she has now.    O.K. then so what's going on with me NOW?????   Foot in mouth   Welllll that's part two of the story   Wink 

WEllllllll.......after my Aunt Barbs death I was kind of like  "O.K.  so what do I do now????  Where do I go????  What do I want????"   Well....during the 8 months that I lived with and cared for my Aunt, my husband was trying to get his life in order.  At one time I thought he was going to change jobs and move to where I was and us try establishing a new life there....wellll let me tell you, the pay in "Smallville" Texas we couldn't live on so my husband Roy stayed in Oklahoma.  He found and set up household in a nice cute little 2 bedroom 1 bath house. He made the joke "This way there won't be any room for any of our grown kids to move in with us."  YEAH RIGHT!!!  LOL  After we had lain Aunt Barb. to rest I decided to go back to Oklahoma (and of course all my kids followed me back.)   Wellll....My oldest daughter/son-in-law, and youngest son moved into a house down the street from Roy and I.  THEN his daughter/son-in-law and our (at the time 6 month old) grandson moved in with us from Georgia.  THEN on July 16, 2007 my youngest daughter (Hannah) had her baby (Lillian Grace ... 7lbs 14oz  19 1/2 inches long) and it ended up having to be by C-Section so her and her husband moved in with my oldest daughter and Hannah's sister (Kymberlee) down the street so Kym and I could help care for her during recovery sooooooo.  We pretty much have 4 families living in 2 houses until more houses become available. My oldest Son 30 yr old Eric (the son given up for adoption at birth and who inspired the beginning of my blogging) met and married a beautiful wonderful woman named Candice and they have now moved to South Africa and my Army Son Wesley....he's coming home from Iraq in Nov.      Do I have you all confused right now???  Wink   LOL  Awwww .... that's normal for me ;)  LOL  I STAY confused  ;) LOL   I do not have internet set up at home right now (just don't have any excess time to get on one right now)  so the only net time I have is when I have a few free moments at work.   Everyone tells me "you have to MAKE time for YOURSELF!!!"   yeah yeah yeah....ur right....hmmm Let me make myself an appointment ;)  LOL  All I know is I am a 47 year young Mother of 8  grandmother of 6 that loves her family more than her own life that is ready for a major change in her life.  My husband Roy and I have been talking seriously about going to truck driving school and becoming team drivers (my side of the family, including my Dad, is full of long haul truck drivers)  It may be the only way we can get any "alone" time  ;)   LOL   Over all I'm doing alright.....a bit over worked and way under paid, but hey, truthfully in todays world....who isn't  LOL   I'm still looking up and to the East for the time of Jesus' return is so close.   BE LISTENING FOR THE TRUMPETS TO BLOW!!! BE LOOKING UP FOR YOUR TIME DRAWETH NIGH!!!   Take care one and all and know that I pray that God will touch the heart of and bless each and everyone who reads my blogs.   Till fingers meet keyboard and eyes meet screen again...take care and God Bless......xo  Kitty.
