Life is Busy!

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!  We've been keeping extra busy, but I'm not complaining. :)  Mom and dad came for a visit.  They had to be here for their grandson's 19th birthday!  Yes, my baby boy is 19 yrs young, hard to believe!  Besides this big celebration we celebrated Father's Day, Mother's Day and my Mother's birthday!!!  It was a vacation for us all!
After all the celebrations and vacation hubby had returned to work.  On his second day back to work I got a call that he was being taken to the ER by ambulance, I was freaking out!!  Kyle and I met the ambulance there!  It turned out to be kidney stones.  We're grateful it wasn't something worse.  He's back to his good health and now has an idea of what labor is like for a woman. ha ha!:)
Talking about health issues and hospital visits make me think of Ginny and Phil at Let Your Light Shine.  Most of you that visit me probably visit sweet Ginny.  Phil, Ginny's husband, has been diagnosed with Melanoma.  I lost my granddaddy to this cancer and I'm at high risk for melanoma because I have dysplastic nevus syndrome.  Even if you don't know Ginny and Phil please say a prayer for them.  

I'll be making my way around blog land playing catch up.  I've missed everyone's stories and photos!  :)

Our baby boy, Kyle!
Love you, son!

Roxanne-Love with her boy, Kyle!

My Mom & Dad.
Love you both so much!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

I personally don't believe there's a more important

job in the world than being a good Mom. 

I did get a pretty card, flowers, my special coffee and will be spending the day with my Mother, my Grandma and my Son.  I couldn't ask for anything more.

But, I do want to share my card with you because my son told me it took him 30 minutes to pick it out. :)

I told him the words were exactly what I needed and that  after this past year I am worth at the least 30 minutes. :)

Hugs to all you Moms!!!

Brought tears to my eyes!

Making time to Blog

I'm still here and determined to figure this blogging stuff out. ha ha!  This has been a very hectic time.  It's the last week before my son starts school and we're not finished with our "to do" list yet.  He still needs his haircut and a few more school items....like a $100 calculator for geometry...wow!  High school is getting expensive, maybe they're preparing us for college expenses, lol!  Maybe this weekend will be more relaxing.  I don't know how my grandmother managed with eight kids!  God Bless you mothers out there with 3,4 or more children. 

I probably should let my son help me with my blog because I'm sure he knows more about the internet than I do.  I wish I were a natural on here, but I'm not.  Today I've taken some time to look at a few other blogs and I'm real impressed with people's creativity.  And I've learned that there are constantly new bloggers.  So, let's help each other out!  If you drop by on my blog, please say hello and I'll stop by your blog and say hello.  Got to go for now, everyone have a great day!

No matter what your situation, you're not alone.

Back in 2000, I was beginning my divorce from an abusive husband.  I felt so alone with only my young son.  Even though I knew there were thousands of women that are abused by their partners, I didn't know any of them.  I was so ashamed of my situation that I didn't tell anyone.  I felt like I had done something wrong.  How could I have loved someone that was so cruel?  
Well, here I am and life is wonderful!  I no longer am married to an abusive man and I keep myself surrounded by kind and positive people, no time for mean or shallow people. 

This is my first blog and I would really like for women and men to come together and share whatever is going on in their lives.  Whether it's good or bad, let's share with one another and help and support whenever possible.  Making a real difference in someone's life, a dog's life, a stranger's life is from your heart and all it takes is you sharing your time.

Let's talk life!
