The Sleepover

The best thing about being a Mimi is that I can spoil the child and then send him home. Last night I had a sleep over. Now where else can a little man have corn dogs, cheetoes, jelly beans, yogos and crystal light, wear snow men pajamas and sleep with three dogs. Well Gavyn spent his first night with Mimi, i have to admit i was a little scared about having him there and having him want to go home but oh no he was ready to stay. Our night was wonderful he ate corn dogs and the like then we had a shower in mimi's big shower. he loved it. He could scream and have it echo, run through the water, and flap his hands and spray water all over the place. My shower is 5 feet by 6 feet with a large shower head in the center. we had a long warm shower shared by Chloe and Blossem, Daisy didn't want to get her paws wet but Chloe and Blossem loved running around the edge to get away from Gavyn. Then we got out and got dressed for bed... then we laid down for a winter nap.... oh and it took about 30 minutes to get all situated... the Girls were dislodged from around me and Gavyn sleeps wildly so they were misplaced most of the night. Gavyn slept the night through and was up at 4 a.m. but we laid back down for another 2 hours or so he thought it was fun to say boo at the top of his lung this morning at 4... but when he knew that the Girls had to sleep he laid quietly so they could get their beauty rest. I don't think his mother thought i was capable... but we did it.... got the first one out of the way.... and even had breakfast this morning.... athough he started acting up when his mother arrived...

Two New Teeth

I have to talk about my Grandson Gavyn... you can see pictures of him on his mom's blog (Just add Bugs) ... Gavyn is a precious thing I could say a gift from God or whatever but he is more than that... He is the reason I am alive.... I had to have a purpose in life and i have come to understand that the major part of my purpose was to have Jodi, a wonderful young woman whom I have had the enjoyment to watch grow up and and become a productive human being and although i can say a lot about my daughter and how much I love her and how much i appreciate her and how beautiful and how smart and so forth I am not going to do that today because I have to talk about another part of my purpose in life and that is her son Gavyn. Oh everyone he is a dream, healthy, smart, handsome.... of course he is also stubborn, spoiled, and moody but he is a great gift.... to have the time to watch this child grow over the last few months to watch him learn and to see him just live has been so very special. This last weekend he learned to drink from a straw... oh it was so funny to watch him just drink and drink and drink cold tea... his diapers were full by the end of the day... now we have two new teeth coming in the top ones he doesn't seem to whine about them but he chews on everything like my arm or my finger.... or a chewie.... i feel so sorry for him because if he could just get them through he feel so much better. Oh and he is a green bean boy... that boy loves green beans too bad his mother doesn't like veggies (my sister Kimberly is responsible for this) or else she would fix them for him... I can't wait to see what the next weeks, months, years bring for this boy or for me but I am sure going to enjoy all of it.
It's raining again today like we need more... oh I know in the summer we will be bitching about it but my yard is so water logged.... and the girls can't hardly go out to pee because the water is standing... and oh the ticks and mosquitos.... lord i hate those things... the ticks are ravenous this year and many of them....
well got to run my peeps.... tata for now.... love ya

Krispy Kreme's

Why is it that when you are on a diet or had WLS (weight loss surgery) or diabetic that the only thing that comes to mind are the things you can't have. Marc called me on his way to get Krispy Kreme's for his staff and asked if i wanted any.... Now he wasn't being mean he was going to actually bring me a cream stuff glazed donut. Oh what i wouldn't give for a warm Cream stuffed glazed donut. So now that is all I can think about... Oh the raspberry filled chocolate covered ones... or the hot just plain glazed. I have found that all the "bad" things that I can't have usually come to the fore front of my brain. Chocolate covered Strawberries from Godiva Chocolates in Tulsa came to mind the other night when I fixed White Chocolate SF Pudding and mixed in some strawberries. It wasn't the same and didn't take away the thought...At Easter it was Mom's Potato Salad that I couldn't get off my mind.... and what I wouldn't give for a coke. But I made this change knowing I wouldn't be able to have these things and I am sticking to it... No just "trying" it out or "just one bite won't hurt"... Unfortunately it will hurt... getting stuck is not something that I want to have happen... and "throwing up" is getting to be a bad thing for me... slimming and pb'ing are still things that I don't want to have happen either... so I sit here dreaming of what that Krispy Kreme would taste like drinking my soy milk and whey powder (chocolate) wishing it were the Krispy Kreme of yesterday.

hey all it has been raining so much here I have an Olympic sized pool in my back yard. my puggies were out swimming in it yesterday... Daisey my sweet little mentally challenged girl would just get up and move to another puddle after the one she was in grew to hot... her poor fat belly kept dragging the ground as she went from puddle to puddle... and lay down... Chloe on the other hand thought that she should jump all through out the back yard making a mess and getting mud on her blond hair... Blossem my old lady... just stood at the back door looking out like a little old lady never once wanting to get her paws wet...you know she is the sensible one of all three... Chloe found a turtle to bark out and raise hell with... it trespassed onto her back yard... I actually believe that it was swept into the back yard with the rolling water. hmmm Turtle surfing in Oklahoma... but that was the only thing that drew Blossem off the cement back porch and into the water... My girls are going to grow gills and webbing in between their toes before to long...

well tata for now..... love ya

A good Day

hey all Today was a good day. I got my boy for the most part. the little one didn't want to play by himself he kept crawling under my desk to get up on my lap. His mom blames me for corrupting him... I think it is her because he has to be entertained instead of entertaining himself. oh well she will learn.... but Gavyn and I were together most of the day. Poor little fellow had sore gums... and was horribly in pain... I felt so bad because he also was having a problem with allergies or something..we had to go pick up mommy so that she could take him to the doctor to help him...

I worked on my genealogy today and bought myself a web page creator so that i can get my Family page updated. I won't have to write or type out code it will automatically put it together. My girls have been playing all day. I think that Gavyn is scared of them a little because they bounce too much. I don't know if any of you ever have seen a pug(with the exception of Frank from Men in Black) but my girls are lively ones. They are flat faced, bug eyed, bouncy hyper little girls then they will keel over and lay flat out never moving but snoring non the less... Each has her own personality... My first girl was Rosie... she passed on a few years ago but she was a PUG... short, stout, squat, flat faced and blond... Smart as a whip though she was a good girl very quiet like an old lady. But everyday i worked she would crawl into my lap with her big bugged eyes and just quietly lay there never barking never quick moves just a solid old lady.... she wasn't old though just an old spirit... she passed on a couple of years ago... and i still miss her... the next one is Blossem... a tall leggy black female... flat faced, bugged eyes not your typical pug body... but full blood... she is the boss aroundhere... keeping everyone in line by hook or by crook She is always at my left side whether in the chair or on in bed. She really is a sweet girl but Chloe really gets under her skin at times. the next is Daisey. a big old black female... she has a big belly and is 10 lbs bigger than blossem... she has little ears that stick out a little and she is not that bright at times... but if you ever need a sweet girl then that is Daisey... she is shy and timid a little but ever the sweet girl.... Now there is Chloe.... oh my my my supposedly when i bought her she was a "mini" pug... not to get over 8 lbs. her mom and dad were very little but this little blond girl grew up... and at 17 lbs she is between blossem and daisey... wiry, vocal, bouncy, quick, darting, spooky of everything, and just down right bouncy she gets on every one's nerves... but she is a good girl... when she finally quiets down she is sweet girl too... but she doesn't like Jodi at all.... so when jodi is here we have a barking demon... So that is my girls... i hope to have pictures soon... so you can see my girls....

well it is evening.... and my boy tired me out completely... i am going to get to bed early....

tata folks...

Did you ever think...

Wow did you ever think about how some people are unobservant and clueless about things even the important things in life--their children. Yesterday I was at Wally-World when this lady with 5 children all between the ages of 3 to 9, was looking in the frozen foods section i am not even sure that she even knew what she was looking at. when her children 4 of which were inside the buggy standing up and the oldest pushing it, started out pushing the buggy fast down the aisle. The children inside were screaming and being loud and they were dodging other people or items that were on the floor. the woman who was pushing her own cart full of food just said "hey stop that" and went back to looking in the freezers. Of course the children didn't until a manager came over and said something to the woman and that only lasted for about two seconds... it took another 5 minutes of the kids running through the fresh veggies before the cart tipped and all were thrown out before the mom actually took notice. all kids were crying, one had a bloody nose and the mother was screaming at the kids, the manager and anyone nearby before she grabbed up her kids and stalked out to the parking lot.

Well yesterday was a bad day I didn't really feel well but I kept doing my diet thing then the unthinkable happened... I had placed my 2/3 cup of food on my plate I ate slowly and in the end i still threw up. I don't know if I am over eating or what I ate that was so bad. I had fixed on of my mini pizzas. 1/2 of a whole wheat tortilla, crushed tomatoes, hamburger meat and cheese. My band is not filled yet but I know if I eat too much i throw it all back up. and then my stomach is messed up. So all liquids today.

Well "the girls" were funny last night. (the girls are my three pugs). were playing in the yard last night running and chasing each other when I saw Chloe (the youngest) get the biggest stick in the yard. she was running with her neck bent back pulling this limb the others were chasing close behind when Chloe ran into one of their toys tripped over it and the other two Blossem and Daisey tripped over her... it is funny. Well got to run... Have a great day.
