This chemo was a piece of cake, at least getting it was. It only took 5 1/2 hours this time and I had an excellent lunch thanks to Rita and addy who just happened to be going to food and friends. They Brought me my favorite from there and man was it good=} I did feel weak and my arms and legs felt like they weighed as much as a ton of bricks but I had so much energy because of the iv steroids I got before the infusion. But by 9 last night it all began to wear off and I started having so much pain and I got the sore throat again. Well I tolerated it long enough by about 130 and I took a pain pill. It took the edge off but I still feel lousy. Teresa I may have to borrow your bed on Saturday. I am wearing my mask just in case there are germs but I know the way you clean house so it will be like a bubble I am sure. I haven't been to sleep yet and I am sure that's from the steroids too. Michelle your pups are adorable they would fit right in with Lorie and Vonda's!
Lorie I think you are right about Butter she is going to make an excellent photographer.
So Rita how did hershey make out at the vet yesterday? Does she weigh at least 5 pounds! Lorie has a cat that is 5x his size!
We are supposed to get freezing rain and ice today! So I am going to try and get some sleep...night all.

Hello, everyone! Almost the New Year! Hope it is good for all of you. We're getting ready for Joe a few days after, and we will have our Christmas with him, so the kids are eyeballing the tree and presents :) LOL I wondered if they would make it.
They announced yesterday on the news Germany broke the record for snowfall here in the month of December with 38.7" of snow!!! I felt every inch........
Everyone keeps showing pics of thier puppies, so here are mine. The caramel Pomeranian is Napoleon and the cream one is Nefertiti, and yes, they act like an emperor and pharoah ruling this house :)
I hope you are feeling better, Trisha. I know mom was feeling pretty horrible on her chemo.
Love to all of you, Michelle and gang

Good morning
Trish,
I hope you get to feeling a bit better. We sure miss everyone. The kids are playing the Wii and having lots of fun today. I am posting more pictures from when we were down. I just want to say Vonda took them and I think she might be the photographer in my family. Love you all and may God bless this great joyous family
Rita, tanner took Gracie to the vet Yesterday. I was just thinking about the difference in a bloodhound and a toy poodle- about a hundred pounds and a lot of spit! Lol
I just thought I would share a couple dreams I had 2 nights in a row. The first one was me and mommy walking down by the mailbox arm in arm headed to where the garden Used to be. You could tell we were just talking and laughing but it was like I was to far away to hear.
Then last night I dreamed that I was visiting mommy I think in the hospital and Rita was there too. And we were walking mommy to the bathroom and she was still smiling. And she actually said in Jesus name. It was taking both of us to walk her But she was still praising God!
I am hoping tonight I get to dream and see her strolling the streets of gold with daddy on one side and Jesus on the other:).
I go for my second chemo today and unfortunately I am coming down with a cold. Coughing sneezing aching all over chilling but no fever. I am not sure if they will give it to me or not, Julie what do u think? I just want to get it over with especially because my insurance is paying 100% until Friday!

That Marleigh is one smart little gal! Zac, I saw your Mom & Dad in Beckley today. They didn't see me...they went in Starbucks. Addy and I are taking Hershey for her first Dr. visit tomorrow. She has to have shots. I left her here today and when I got home, she wrapped her entire body around my leg and wouldn't turn loose. She is the sweetest thing...a good little bed buddy too. She just lays right between me and Blain and doesn't make a sound. She's winnin' the big guy over!!
Hey all
Just Marleigh and me today. We made potato soup with celery and carrots, flavored with some of the Christmas ham and Marleigh thinks that table eat'in is the way to go!
The sun is shining so bright today. It must be all that cleaned out air. I wonder if the big city people notice a difference in their breathing after a big snow.

Wow- I was way behind. I have been reading for a good while trying to catch up. I will post some pictures of Olivia and Kaiden at Christmas soon.
Bobbie~ I have no doubt that you and Marleigh will have a very special friendship.
Vonda & Vesta~ I love all those smiles!
Teresa~ Everyone knows that I am anti- pets and I actually thought (for a minute) about keeping that cute puppy. She is so precious and lovable. I bet she could win Steve over. I think Matthew was afraid of becoming attached to her so he just called her "that dog." Haha
Mary Kay order going out next week if anyone needs anything.
My memory of grandma's house at Christmas...
The annual week at grandma's after Christmas was in full swing. Monica, Amy, Colin, Timmy Wayne, Bobby Shawn and myself were all there. It was coming up on the end of the week and I remember grandma making her rounds with prayers and goodnight kisses. She had to get up to tell someone, (probably Monica) to "quit giggling." Anyway, as she was walking back to her bedroom, I was by the old bathroom speeling. I sat up and asked her if it would hurt her feelings if I went home. I missed my mommy. About a minute later, Timmy Wayne came through the hall saying he wanted to go home too. She just laughed and let us call. She was probably glad that we were finally leaving:) No, not grandma!
Love you all and stay warm!
Mom~ Don't lose Hershey!

Hey all, I was reading today and came across a bit about the weather
Psalms 147: 15-18 NI
He sends His command to the earth;
His Word runs swiftly;
He spreads the snow like wool
and scatters the frost like ashes.
He hurls down His hail like pebbles.
Who can withstand His icy blast?
He sends His Word and melts them;
He stirs up His breezes, and the waters flow.
. . .Praise the Lord.
Psalms 148: 7-8, 13
Praise the Lord from the earth, . . .
lightning and hail, snow and clouds,
stormy winds that do His bidding, . . .
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
That snow is really praising the Lord!

. . .Praise the Lord.

Hey everyone, I had some catching up to do. I hadn't looked at the blog for a couple of days. Rita I'm glad you and Blain are feeling some better we will continue praying for you both. Your little Hershey is sooooo cute I would love to have a small inside dog but Steve doesn't want one.
I'm glad to hear that everyone had a great Christmas I love all the pictures of Marleigh and Vondas family.
It is nice to hear all the stories of Christmas. I remember Christmas with my dad and his family as being some of my greatest memories I love all the food and fellowship and although our family wasn't as large as this family it was great having everyone together. That is why I love being part of this family I love having a house full of family and friends and that is the greatest gift of all.
As far as our Christmas mom came up Friday and spent the weekend with us and we fixed a pot roast and Steve fixed a pan of cornbread and we have sat around all weekend watching tv and being lazy.
I'm going to try to get out to take mom home today, Steve said the road was pretty bad when he went into work today so we'll see how it goes.
I'll see you all on Saturday. Don't forget your white elephant gifts. Love you all!!!!
Shane, I hope you can find your car when you get back home. You picked a good time to go, but I don't know about getting home, with all the flights being canceled.
Michelle, does Joe have access to the internet?
Blain just called back to tell me that he had made it to Meadow Bridge. He said it's bad. I don't even know how much snow we have, it is drifting really bad.
Hershey is pretty good as long as you are holding her, sleeping with her, carrying her around...Sadie likes her, she is just too little to play with. Sadie knows she is still top dog.
I didn't get any pics of Olivia and Kaiden over Christmas. We felt so bad, I just didn't think about it. I am feeling a little better but Blain isn't.
Steve and Teresa, What are ya'll doing? Haven't heard from you.

Rita it looks like Hershey could be a chew toy for any of your grand doggies! Lol especially Lady Bird, don't you think Addy?
Vonda I love your Charlie Brown nativity and tree! Where did you get it and how old is it? I have never seen one. The Charlie brown Christmas tree is one of my favorite stories=]
Micheelle do you watch Army Wives on lifetime? I love how it shows how they all pull together As a family when their husbands are deployed and in some cases it's the woman that is deployed and the husband is deployed....maybe you can find one of them! Lol We are getting a terrible amount of snow right now. The interstate is creeping by and everyone has their emergency lights on.
Hey grandkids! What about your memories? Tell us about something you remember either at grandmas or your own home when you were a kid and how you are making it special for your own kids.
A few years back when we started having Christmas on new years we would have mom and dad come here to share our Christmas. Jesse and Helen would come too. We would fix breakfast and it never failed mommy would always come in with her basket full of biscuits. THAT was my kids favorite gift lol. Before I learned to make good gravy she brought that too! A couple of times Steve and his family came Over too. I am so glad that i have those memories for my kids because since Jesse had his stroke he doesn't get around well. About the only place he does go is walmart and the doctor.
Your alls memories remind me of the waltons;). Especially yours David. You all have a great
Day and for those that have to go to work, sorry:(
Happy belated birthday Paul I hope addy took good care of you:)

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Once again mom made sure that the days were special and filled with love. I loved reading how she helped to make it that way for her siblings when they were younger. My poor kids had to wait until 4pm when Big Daddy got home to open presents. Needless to say it drove them crazy. Shawn got a Apple laptop and the girls got a Wii. They are all sooo happy. My big gift is getting a dental done on my little dog. We sure wish we were close enough to be with you all for the holidays. Mom was sad that she never got to spend a Christmas at home once she left it. I love that this blog keeps us near to one another when prayer is needed or you just need to appreciate that family is priceless.
