Babysitter for the Grandchild

  Omg, today was a big mark in our lives. Our grandaughter had her first babysitter outting. Let me explain. We have always been around to watch our grandaughter while my eldest daughter goes to work. Someone always has been here or we all take turns in watching  her. She is use to family only. As we try to look at our schedules we realize that no one is going to be able to watch Jenelle in the morning. We are all busy in the morning and no one left to watch her. Time to look for a babysitter. My good friend Nancy happen to be available to watch her. So thank God for that, but we did not know how our grandaughter was going to react. She has never really been socialable without us being around. She knows Nancy but has never really been left alone with no one. She only needed to be watch for two hours but for a child that is not uise to being without her immediate family that is a long time. Needless to say she is only two..
 Time to drop her off. Can I tell you that we cried more than she. It turns out my grandbaby made us look like fools. She remember Nancy and was happy to go with her... But you have to understand we were like parents dropping of a child at school for the first time. I cried for all my kids. And it seems worst for my grandkids.... How crazy????

Forgotten Virtues...

   Hello to all. I hope today you are having a blesed day and all in your lives is well. As for me I can not ask for more than I can chew.
   I do not know where to begin so excuse me if I babble a little. Letme start by saying Happy late memorial day. Long weekend for me. I had 2 barbeques . I managed to be off on Friday. Said a little white lie that now I am suffering the consequences. This is why I do not like to lie. I told me boss that I had a personal matter and would like to take a personal day on Friday. He said ok. I had no real reason to be off with the exception that I just wanted some time away from work. I should have just said that but, instead I said I might have to go to court. Why did I lie??? I do not know but here is my punishment. I go to check on my hours of pay to ensure that all my hours are there for my pay period. This is my paycheck we are talking about and guess what....... NO PERSONAL DAY PUT IN..... So now I am not only short one day but two because if you do not work the day before the holiday you do not get pay for the holiday.... See why I do not like to lie.
     But I had fun on my days off. I usually commute to the city which is about two hours everyday going and two coming and was very happy not getting up so early. Back to my days off. Saturday did nothing but clean. Sunday went to two church services and a barbeque. and Monday another barbeque.. Thought I would have had more rest but, busy me always on the go did not know when to quit and just stay still.
   There have been some storms and tornado watches around our area these past two weeks, nothing compare to that in Missouri... I still pray for them and I am petrify of the thought of something like that coming this way. See there are some states that are more use to certain natural storms and our state is not.. We are use to snowstorms. Give us 20 inches of snow in one day and we will survive. You will see all of us continue our day like itwas nothing going on outside and it was just another day in the neighborhood. Give us lots of rain , fog that we can not even see the trees ,lights or anything else outside and we can get around like nothing but, tornados and hurricanes no can do. We are not equipped for something like this.  I am afraid of all the danger it could cause. All the lost lives it will leave behind.
  On another note remember these forgotten virtues. HONOR, PURITY, LOYALTY, INTEGRITY AND GRATITUDE......... These things are forgotten in today's world. It is something that we should try to live by and most of us do not even know the meaning of half of these.  God bless you all and pray for me as I will pray for you. Till next time...
