Toot Your Horn Tuesday - 41 years ago


Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 107.:1


My 40th birthday was a rather hard one for me, but I started my 41st year watching the sun rise with my loved ones. I am blessed beyond words!
A little too windy to light the candle on my doughnut, so God lit it for me.

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - 30 Chest Compressions


Happy Tuesday Everyone! For newcomers, I chose Tuesday to give us all the opportunity to do a little bragging. Many of you here link up your amazing craft projects and I read through the blogs dreaming that someday I can be as creative, but I'm a busy busy mom who's usually content just having finished my "to do list!"

On occasion I do a little something extra special though.

This week, I completed a CPR/First Aid/AED class! All the staff at my preschool had the opportunity, thanks to my husband! He's a wonderful teacher! And it is a great feeling having confidence that now I'm prepared if an emergency arises! Check with The American Red Cross if you think you'd like to learn too! That's it this week. I hope you share your Toot too!

Tootless Tuesday - for me

As usual, I've been busy as a bee. Just normal summer stuff. Nothing exciting. Last week though, was able to take a quick trip up to Richmond to see a couple of my cousins. A wonderful visit! Here's Tia and I when we were little. She's a few years younger then me and I use to treat her like my little life size baby doll. I loved her so.And here we are last week at her house. She still means the world to me!!!

So, anyway, the other thing I thought I'd share is a post from last year. Exactly one year ago. August and September were some of the hardest months I have ever lived through. My Step-Dad's battle with cancer. He was diagnosed in July and he flew to Jesus in September. Here's a link to my September posts.

It's nice to have this blog and be able to go back in time....

HOWEVER LONG

Wondering if I’ll be on my blog very often over the next
“however long.”

As I write this, I am sitting in a hospital room next to my Step-Dad, Tom. He has stage 4 lung cancer. He went for his first chemo treatment on Aug. 4th and on Aug. 9th was admitted into the hospital having had severe reactions. We weren’t prepared for this. We didn’t consider that within just a few weeks of learning of his cancer that he’d be here, as sick as I’ve ever seen anyone. Sure, I’ve had skin cancer. Just the pesky basal cell. Not life threatening. Not serious. This is stage 4, Incurable. We were told that he would never be healed. We were told that without treatment he would have just months to live. But there is no way that we could have grasped the reality of it all. I’ve never watched anyone die.

Tom is not dying today. He is “fragile” they say. He’s developed an infection. His kidneys are struggling. He is lethargic. He opens his eyes, but I wonder what he sees. His stare is completely blank. He wouldn’t take his medicine tonight. He clinched his teeth as I tried to feed him the crushed pills mixed with applesauce. The machine next to him signaled that his fluid bag was low. Tom reacted to the beeping. He was alarmed. He groaned, he opened his eyes! He reacted… He’s in there!!

Day by day we wait. The doctors can’t give any prognosis right now. He may recover from this “bad reaction.” He may not. We may get him back for a bit, but eventually we will lose him.

Less then 2 weeks ago I was sitting in paradise. I saw rainbows every day. I know God is watching over all of us. I understand that I'm not suppose to understand. I only know to acknowledge Him in all my ways and in return He will direct my path.

More Hawaii pictures... Aren't I blessed?! Hard times will come, but it makes the good times that much sweeter!

Here we are under the banyan tree in maui. It's one of the oldest banyans in the US and it takes up an entire city block. It's amazing!




You're welcome to still play along with Toot Your Horn Tuesday. Wouldn't want to keep you hanging again!! Believe it or not, I check out your blogs every week and dream about all the things I'd love to try. Remember to keep your "titles" short so that they will fit well within my borders! Kisses!

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Pinkalicious


NOTE: If you're playing along today, when you sign Mister Linky, please keep your name/blog title/project name...SHORT! Mister Linky is getting overloaded. Also, I had a couple readers complain that my button isn't working, but it seems to be working fine for others. So if you're having a problem, just forget the button and place a little ol' link. And please don't forget that link. Many of you fail to link back to this fun party. What a bummer! :(


So anyway, I've never been a fan of PINK, but when my daughter was born, after having 3 sons, I was happy to embrace this "girlie" color. There's no way to avoid it actually (retailers make sure of that.) It just seems like this week especially, PINK has been everywhere!! For one, Glynis got a book for her birthday called Pinkalicious by Victoria Kann. In one week, we've probably read it about 20 times! (Thank you Aunt Megan!) It's an adorable book and I really enjoy listening to my daughter shout "PINK" over and over. She wants to dress in pink every day. One day, Daddy brought home some pink jello for her and because she still likes to eat much of her food with her fingers, she ended up with pink hands!
So, what does PINK have to do with my "Toot" for the week? It's rather fitting...

My Mom is away visiting family this week so I thought I'd surprise her by painting her office with the can of paint that my Dad had purchased a few months before he passed away. It'd had been in the closet, along with the new flooring that he purchased for the room. This "office" is completely packed with stuff!! (Mom's a former doll collector and has an enormous collection of family photos) I hope she's not going to be mad that I boxed it all up! Finally got that all done and went back over last night along with two of my boys. We grabbed the can from the closet and guess what color it is!!!!..... YEP, PINK!!

But we did it! And I've also contacted her contractor neighbor to come have the floor installed while the room is boxed up. I'm so excited for my Mom's reaction. Along with this surprise, my husband completely cleaned up her yard, pressure washed her deck and will be staining it today. That's a lot of Tooting I think!! (lucky for me, she only reads my blog about once a month so keep this secret for me!)

It was over 100 Degrees on her birthday, so it's not surprising that she looked so flushed and unhappy when we first arrived at the cupcake shop.

But an Icy Cold Coca-Cola made everything better.
Toot Toot Toot!

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Dance a little



I'm so excited to share this "Toot" with all of my Mommy readers. Do you make "girl time" for yourself?! I've always thought it to be important, but as I grow older I realize just how much a woman needs her friends and a little fun apart from the husband and kids. I'm excited to share an excerpt from my "ladies night." There was good food, great conversation and a sprinkle of DANCING!! This will make you smile and I hope you'll get with your girlfriends and kick up your feet!
