Brain Overload & Better Late Than Never Memorial Day Pics!
June 2, 2010Hey my lovelies! I feel so weird since I haven’t really posted anything in 2 days! My brain is kinda mush right now between thinking of ideas for my new and improved blog and the craziness that I have had to deal with at work and having a sick Peanut. Poor Peanut woke up in the middle of the night Monday puking and on fire! I think that she had a little too much fun in the sun and not enough hydration on Monday! So I stayed up with her all night and then slept a few hours and then went to work for a half day.
I was pretty much worthless at work, yesterday, but I had a conference call with a client and I couldn’t reschedule it. Thank God I didn’t have to talk at all during the call. Every once in a while someone would ask if I was still there and I would take the phone off mute and say “yeppers!” and then go back to daydreaming! Sometimes it really does suck having to be a working mom, but at this time, this is what needs to be done. I felt so bad having to make Peanut leave the house and making my mom take care of her. I would rather be home with her! Luckily Dave got off work early enough so that my mom only had to stay for a short time.
Then we got a call that my grandmother (my mom’s mom) was admitted to the hospital because she has an enlarged heart. She had stopped by the other day to let us know that she had just been diagnosed with an enlarged heart, but the doctor told her that she needed to listen to what he tells her to do and just take it easy. he actually used the words, “I am trying to save your life.” Not the words that you really want to hear from your doctor, but I am glad that he used them, because grandma can be stubborn!
So she went back to her doctor for a checkup yesterday and they did not like what they saw so they sent her to the hospital. Right now she is resting comfortably and on oxygen. Hopefully they can find some meds to giver her to help out her heart. She has always had heart issues, but she has bounced back even stronger. Keep her in your prayers right now!
And in honor of Memorial Day, I want to share some photos that my mom took from the Memorial Day ceremony at my grandfather’s legion post. Look how handsome my grandpa is! He is a very proud Marine! And yes, he is still a bad ass!

Grandma Placing the Memorial Wreath at the Memorial Site

Grandma Tossed a Wreath Into the River In Memory Of Those Lost at Sea

This was quote an honor for my grandma to place the memorial wreath at the memorial site and to be the one to throw the other memorial wreath in the river. It may have been to much for her though. Hopefully she gets out of the hospital and is on the mend quickly…
I also wanted to thank everyone who has served in the military, everyone that is fighting for us right now, and everyone who will fight for us. I am proud to be an American, no matter what!
Go over to my new site RandomBlogette.com!



















Couple of things – where’s this new site. Nice post, and that pic of the cat with jazz hands nearly made me fart with excitement
These are such beautiful pics and yes your gramma is a beautiful lady! I would have been bawling as she tossed that wreath in the river.
I hope Peanut is feeling better! I feel terrible saying this, but when you said she was “puking and on fire” I laughed really hard from the mental image that conjured up.
How cute are your grandparents? I hope Peanut feels better!!
Poor little peanut! Hope she feels better soon. I’m going to be doing the working Mom thing, too. We just can’t afford one salary.
Your grandpa does look badass and your grandma looks so proud! Hope she feels better soon.
I hope your daughter is fully recovered and that your grandma is on the mend, too. Love the pics of your grandparents. Don’t know why but they made me tear up a little. Must be that time of the month.
Holy geez! Your grandma IS beautiful! Like a hottie grandma!
This is a wonderful post…I just went to your new site and it is looking awesome. I joined the google friend connect, which means I won’t forget to visit you in my feed. Cuz I’m a nerd.
Grandma is in my prayers..(I have a stubborn one too!)
Happy Memorial Day..belated of course!
Hope Peanut is feeling MUCH better!
