I'm back!

Remember the pans I mentioned in a previous blog? I sold them and did better than I thought I would do. The electric skillet sold for much less than it was worth, but the lady who bought it was very happy, so that makes up for it!

I haven't been able to get the addresses of fresh girl and sarah so I could send the promised coupons. Please respond to this post with your e-mail address and I'll contact you to get your addresses.

It's been a long time, but I'll try not to ramble. :) My husband had an echocardiagram today and the doctor called to tell us that his valves are working perfectly. Praise the Lord! He will have a stress echo in two weeks. That may tell us better whether there is a problem with his heart or not.

My job is going well. Since I am the supervisor for the infant room, it has gotten better and better. I so love those babies! I told one daddy today I fall more and more in love with his little guy every day. When I pick him up, he cuddles so tightly and tries to pull my hair! It's so easy to get him to giggle. All of our babies are like that. Such sweet little innocents! My biggest challenge is a little boy just over 1 year old. He cries so much. If I pick him up, he is content, and when I put him down, he cries. If he falls asleep in my arms, I take him back to his crib. He almost always cries as soon as he hits the crib. I held him in my arms for an hour today. I love him so much and don't mind holding him, but my helper and I have anywhere from 5 to 7 other babies to care for. This little guy has several holes in his heart and also has a problem with his lungs. I asked his mom today if he might be in pain and she said it's because she held him most of the time when he was a baby. He was doing pretty well for a while, but for the last several weeks, he has been very fussy. Anyone out there with any ideas?

I mentioned in my last post (February 12) that my grandchildren were going to spend a few days with me. That didn't happen because my son-in-law got terribly sick with the flu and then my grandson got it, so they couldn't come. My daughter just let me know they plan to spend several days with us next week. I can hardly wait!

Well, I'm done rambling. Hope to hear from some of you.

I decided it was time to get another post out. Thanks to the snow, I got home from work early. It's supposed to be worse tomorrow morning, which means I probably won't get to work tomorrow. I'm a chicken when it comes to driving on bad roads. I guess that comes with being a grandma!


We had the grandchildren this past weekend. They hadn't been able to come the previous weekend and did I ever miss them! My granddaughter helped me make chocolate chip cookies and homemade bread. That sure was fun. My grandson qualifies for the Honor Society. I praise the Lord for that. His grades have really picked up this year. He is growing up. Their dad and mom have been attending church regularly and doing their best to serve the Lord. It has made a very positive impact on their home life.


I'm looking forward to having two of my grandchildren stay with me next week, Monday through Thursday. I can hardly wait!


In my last post I mentioned I am going to give away 100+ coupons. I've only had 4 comments so far and hope to get more people in on this. Please share this with your blogger friends. I will pick at least one winner on Friday, February 22.

Hey, anybody out there?!!

I guess it's time to get another post going! I guess I chose a poor name for my blog. Oh well, it's done.

I was off work last Monday (ice), Thursday, and Friday (ice again...). I organized a couple of my cupboards. It was kind of nice not having to go to work, although, I missed the babies!

I went to a discount grocery store on Thursday and did I ever find some great bargains! What fun. :)

I got this idea from my daughter and another blogger, so am going to give it a try... I have a whole lot of coupons (100 +, unexpired) and want to find someone who could use them. They could save a person a lot of money since you can double and posibbly triple them. Be sure to leave your e-mail address so I can get them to you if you win. Good luck.
