Southern Mama

Granny's Mama, who was a mother of 10, would tell her kids
to 'go outside and do something, even if it's wrong'!!!

Granny won't be here FOREVER? What?

From Jenna's blog(couldn't explain it any better so I done stole it)
Yesterday I found out that my Granny is sick. She's been having stomach pains for 2 weeks and finally went to the doctor who rushed her to a ct scan. Results are not good: she has free floating fluid in her abdomen which is causing her stomach to pooch out abnormally (I have that too I showed her and she laughed), a tumor on her ovaries, nodules in her lungs and her liver looks bad. These are all symptoms that point to cancer but she has to have a fluid draw in 2 days to find the source of the problem. If the source is her girlie parts -GREAT- they can be removed...she's not using them anyway. If it's her lungs, stomach or liver then -NOT GREAT- she has to breathe, digest food, and well, I'm pretty sure a liver is important. She's already talking about not taking chemo treatments due to watching her sister, Lethie, die of ovarian cancer and she had chemo for over a year and never got better, just sicker. She said she'd rather go see Jesus sooner anyhow because she knows her mom and dad are gonna be right there behind Him. Talk about tearing my heart out!

Yeah M'Hmmmm

Holy cow, in the last like 2 weeks, Maggie is talking up a storm.
Saying just about everything and pretty clearly for that matter...

Diaper is DIEPUHR
Poop is POOPIN
Potty is PAHDEE
Bottle is BAA-UL

Chocolate is CROCKY (we have no clue where that came from)

Oh crap, just pointed at a banana and said APPLE but it was very much APPLE.

She really knows what the difference between yes and no is too. I'll say do you want to go get in your jammies for bed and she'll say Yeah M'hmmm! YEAH M'HMMMM is my favorite thing she does right now. She nods her little head and says yeah m'hmmm and she is mrs. serious about it too!

Brilliant... I say... just brilliant! :)

Mommy of a 20 Month old!

Now Maggie is calling me Mommy instead of Mama...
She is saying everything now...she even knows a whole book...she can say what the pictures are without even blinking. Hello, genius:)
She will be 20 mos old in a week. What? I'll have a 2 year old this summer!?!
Excuse me , but where did all that time go already?
Holy.....lfksdlfkdjskjj!!
Some days I'm bored, some days I'm irritated, some days are just perfect, some days are a major challenge and when I had those days like oh my am I going to be able to do THIS?....here we are almost 2 years has gone by.
I never wished any days away but if feels like it because it went by so fast.

Heavy Heart

While I was out enjoying life and a Tim McGraw concert with my fabulous hubby...
well...
I worked at SBO for 7 years...all those years with Tim's mom, Julie, and about 5 of the years with his little sister, Kalina...Tim died early Sunday morning. He's only 26. Can't imagine how they all feel. Especially Julie, kids are not supposed to go before their parents!
I was the medical records supervisor(only 'titled' job I ever had...anywho) and Tim worked for me for a little while too...What a nice kid. Searching for something. Lost. Going down some paths he probably shouldn't take...but...what a nice kid.
He was so dang cute too. He'd talk to me about dumb girls and baseball.

Funny story, I was looking for Tim...he was SUPPOSED to be in the back room filing charts, but apparently he was tired because I caught him sleeping UNDER the desk in another back room! His face was priceless. He's like please don't tell on me. I said while laughing really hard, I won't tell on you but you better not get caught you dumbass!!

AND

My mary kay lady had and lost a baby in the same day...don't know how she can be so strong, her blog is positive and all about God...she's gotta be a very strong woman...

I just have a heavy heart and keep praying for both families to have strength and comfort. What else can you do?
I look at Maggie and see how blessed I am and then I cry more.
