the gandsons are spending the week end with their mother...her friend picked them up last night at 8:30 p.m. for their week end...Karen was feeling sick and was running late and the friend was available to pick up the boys and take them to Karen for the ride back to indianapolis..they had already showered and were sitting in their pjs awaiting their trip back to indianapolis....because of this, i slept later today, in honor of the working man...at this time---11;22 A.M. i have put out a couple loads of laundry and sorted cleqned drid clothes to fold and put away.....have taken care of my precious dogs, who continue to win my heart----dont get me a dog-----Michael Sr. is doing great and actually is working today for the first time since "the incident"..he is working the 6 to 3 shift which is what he hopes to be able to work beginning in october......i believe he has already been assigned his hours for september before the summer began and those hours are 2;00 p.m. to 11:30 P.M......i did find time this morning to call my friend since first grade, Jeri Copeland Reiff, and talk to her this morning for about 40 minutes.....she s going through heartache presently with the loss of her husband whom she married when she ws 19 years old.....she is 62 now......i actually spent most of the time listening, however, i was aware that i did do some talking too, but jeri said she appreciated the words i said....i also posted few words on my friend, Becky Kelley,'s caring bridge website...she has just learned that she has tumeos on her colon, lung and brain....she learned this two weeks ago when she went to the ER at a local houston hospital...please pray for Becky.....she is a professional friend from cy-fair isd...we were assistant prncipals and friends who worked at different schools but tried to sit together often at meetings....she is a good girl and she loves our Lord.......again, i ask that you pray for her....jk

ahhhh. it's 1:04 p.m. and she (me)is rested and loving life and ready to post......have i told you that i have fallen in love with the dogs.....Zulu sleeps wherever i am....she sleeps at the bottom of my bed and she puts her body half under my bed so i can get by her if i need to get up in the night....then Snowball, after ....ooops, the doorbell rang and the mailman came and i drove to the postofficew to mail some things and now i am back...... it is now 2:32 p.m. and i well get back to talking about these dogs...Snowball always gets in the trash can in the bathroom, so after i chastise her for doing that i always love on her...she likes to jump up on me and put her paws on each of my shoulders, then Zulz starts growling at her so snowblal will get down to fight Zulu so i taart to pet Zulu......they both love me, i can tell and i promise---i do not want a dog--but i do love them.....now i love Flash, too, Flash is Matthew's dog and he is a little Italian greyhound and although i know all of these dogs love their masters more than they love me, i know they all love me too....please know and always rmembr that i do not want a dog....i love to love these three dogs and that is enough for me.....well, the boys are going to spend labor day week end with their mother and she will be picking them up sometime this afternoon or evening so this will be a quiet week end....i am confident the boys will have great stories to tell when they return to newburgh on monday sometime.......they are such precious boys and i do love them...way more than i love the dogs, even though i am using the same word"love" to describe my feelings.....i believe the love i feel for them is called "Philio" in the Greek which means a blood-relative kind of love......i think it is a deep special love...and the love i feel for the dogs is maybe "agape"...someone who knows can straighten me out on these different emotions i am feeling and referencing.......the weather here is wonderuf...it is about 80 something degrees and there is an overcast to the day so it looks cooler than it is....it feels great to be outside, where i go everytime the dogs go outside to do their business or to just --as snowball does everymorning--walk the perimeter of the yard.....life is good and i hope you can tell that i am enjoying life in newburgh.....i do miss my family and friends in houston....but i will return before too long....love to all.,..jk

it's 11:05 a.m. and i am tired so i will go take a nap and post later.......so sleepy....jk

well it is 10:22 and did you know that wal-mark is open twenty-four hour a day up here....i went to wal-mark's (i know it is wal-mart, but i like to call it wal-mark's, so i will) and purchased my first tool box to hold my screwdriver set i purchased at sears for $24 on sale from $52.....i am still looking for a little hammer for a nice little lady and not a big burly man, but i have been unsuccessful to date....Michael Sr. had a hospital meeting this morning and so i took tdid ihe boys to school.....this is always so much fun for me.....i believe i love them more everyday......last night Brendan and Michael jr. went to slee easily and slept like logs (Michael jr. said "brendan woke up in a happy mood today") only once have i observed brendan wake up in a sour mood, but he got out of it before he got out of bed.....my Aidan came into my room about midnight and he was saying "you said you were giong to stay in our room until i went to sleep and you left so i want to get in your bed"......it was midnight.....i didnt try to convince him tht he had already been asleep for four and a half hours, i just pulled back the covers and he climbed in the bed with me ....back to my trip to wal-mark....i purchased a griddle so i will be making pancakes soon......i am sort of excited about that...............well the dryer just went off and i stopped to put in another load in the washer and i guess i will go look for something that really needs a clorox wipe....jk

it is night, the children are nestled all snug in their beds, Zulu is on the floor asleep beside them and Snowball is asleep on the floor outside their room in the doorway....the kitchen is clean, the dishwasher is going and so is the dryer and the washing machine and i have blown out the scented candle for the night and i am longing to talk with my friends and so, in my usual style, i feel like i am taslking with my friends since i usually do all of the talking like i am doing now....by the way, i am working on listening and not always telling my story except on this blog, of course,...i cant wait to visit with my houston loved ones (friends and family) and see if you notice i am a beter listener......i bought some pajamas for the first time since third grade and i have them on now and am loving them......dont worry, they are not baby dolls, more like a trucker's jams and i love them....sort of loungie type.....i am waiting for the dryer to stop so i can put another load in and start another wash load.......with the boys, the washing machine is going everday,,,,,i remember this from when my children were young that everyday was wash, dry and fold day......and i had a full time job all of the while...i amaze myself.....i really dont know how i did it, i guess i didnt know any different and really there was not choice, and those were the days when all of the house work was "women's work" and i would have considered it an insult if Norman had tried to help me with any of it.......those were the days......really, they were such tiring and such wonderful times....i believe i had and have the most wonderful children in the world and i am thankful i realized while they were with me as small children, that they were treasures entrusted to me by my Father in Heaven........boy did i love mothering them....now this great opportunity to relive it on a completely different angle with my dearest grandchildren in indiana...........hopefully, when i get to my houston home in december, my little Karsen will remember me and how much i love him too and hopefully he will let me love on him and hold him and rock him to sleep.....he may have grown out of the rocking to sleep and i will have to just live with that sweet memory.....i am truly a blessed woman to be able to grandmother my four grandsons.......thank you, Lord...........jk

i returned to the store to get the mop kit i had left and the dust mop i had forgotten i had purchased.....now all is well and i am at peace......jk

i must be needing something from all of you many readers, because i want to post yet again and tell you that i just came back from grocery shopppng, going to the market and to the butcher......everything i purchased is put up (except for the mop i left at the grocery store) and i am getting ready to take the dogs with me to pck up michael jr. and aidan from school....i know they will be so happy to see the dogs....michael jr. was kind of miffed with me for leaving them at the boarders on this mon and tues....anyway...all will be fine i am sure once the boys see their dogs......life is good........ji

the dogs are home and i was actually glad to see them...they came bounding into the house and they were just so glad to be home...then Zulu gave me a big globule of slobber on the bottom of my blouse and i realized it was going to be the same old same old.....i really do love thes dogs...right now....jk

the dogs...they is a comin'.........after 12 noon Bart, the owner of Bed, Bath & Biscuit, said....he said they will both have a bath right before he brings them to the house.....thank goodness for Bart nd the bath soap.......well, breakfast was bacon (not all of it burned so this was a real treat for the boys), cinnamon toast, a banana and orange juice for brendan and aidan, and milk for michael.....breakfast is becoming one of my favorite times of the day.....brendan also ate a carrot, so he could eat something from every food group...meat, dairy (butter on toast), grains, fruit, and vegetable....he shared a carrot with aidan, but michael was already finished and didnt care for a carrot for breakfast......they are really so precious, and so much fun......i felt sort of guilty due to one of the comments from yesterday, so i have cleaned the inside of the pantry door with my trusty and beloved clorox wipes--i actually used two of them, because i wanted to do a really good job.....i am sleeping like a log at night and the boys are too.....sometimes it takes brendan a little longer to go to sleep than michael and aidan...i stay in the room with them until they go to sleep......last night i quicklly heard Michael and Aidan sleeping softly and i waited for brendan to go to sleep....all was so quiet and i heard brendan say, " Grammy, you are snoring and i was almost asleep"....how embarrassing because you all know i can snore with the best of them....however i stopped and all was very quiet again and i hear brendsn moan "Grammy, pleeeese stop snoring" so i apologized and waited until all was quiet again and i snuck out before i awoke the house again....i went back to check on brendan before i went to bed and he was sleeping.....boy do i love these boys and i am so thakful to my God and Father, that i have this privilege of spending this quality time with them........yikes, i just realized again that the dogs are coming.....oh ,my, will things change around here.........i spoke with Ramona for a good bit yesterday evening and she reports that her classes will be tollerable and she feels at least in some of them that she will shine.....she said Matt, who was in class at the time i called her, feels his classes, although hard, will be manageable for him too....i am so proud of both of them for continueing to pursue their dreams......i was able to hear Karsen voice and oh how i miss him, i told Ramona, that Karsen is growing up while i am gone,,,when i left he was taking a few steps and everytme he did it one of us would yell to the others that Karsen had taken another step..now he is walking everywhere and is actually moving his play pen around in the room to the point that they have had to blockade the playpen from cabinets and tables....oh, my precious Karsen, how i do miss him, but what a grand thing to be able to miss someone, because that just means that you have someone to love very much and i do love my Karsen...and Ramona and Matthew too, but i get to hold Karsen, and Ramona and Matthew dont let me hold them......well i must get on with my day...i may buy that throw-away mop=head that goes on the Mr Clean mop handle, so i may have more tales of my cleaning to share.,.Michael Sr. is doing great .....so am i, can you tell....yikes, i just remember again that the dogs are coming home.--rats....life is good, even with the dogs.,....love to you all....jk

yikes.....yikes..the dogs are coming home tomorrow.........no worry, perhaps the Lord will call us all home tonight........jk

it's 9:00 a.m. and I have been watching Michelle Obama's speech on the computer.....it was very inspiring....my mercy.......back to what's really going on in indiana.....this mornig i fixed crescent rolls,link sausages, applesauce and milk and orange juice.....they loved it...they ate and ate again, and said "Grammy, this is the best breakfast ever!" Michaek then rouded them up for the ridse to school....i walked outside to wave them good bye...i believe the boys are doing so very well here and i am so thankful to be a part of it......I have not fixed breakfast for anyone since Mandy Kelley was here and i am loving it.....vicki, i couldn't find pioneer biscuit mix so i purchased Bisquick and when i buy a griddle i plan to have pancakes some morning....perhaps this Saturday.....Karen is supposed to come get the boys on Saturday for the labor day week end and she is upposed to keep them for the duration of the week end -- until Monday, i guess.....right now the air conditioning man just left and the plumber is on his way..... i will remain here for the plumber...Michael has gone to the hospital to work on charts...my understanding is that he has a lot of catching up to do on is charts for the hospital.....anyway,he is really doing great,health wise, and has his old fun-loving personality that has been sort of hidden for the last few years under a mantra of "angst" which seems to have lifted.....continue to pray for him.....i am "off" tonight i think, and he will be in charge of the children.....the thing is that i like to be in charge of the children....i really do enjoy them and they, me.....who would have thought that God would have placed such blessings on our family for this summer....both highs and lows and He has been guiding events all along to this place....He is truly so good........some of the painters quit today......alas.....and the yard man who is supposed to mow every week to relieve Michael, hasn't been here for two weeks......oh well, perhaps today....there is always today, that is unless his song is " tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow is only a day away"...man, do we have chiggers inour yard...what does one do about chiggars.....I'll keep you posted......jk

well this is my first evenng post...today i was wallowing in the euphoria of the boys delight with my roast dinner....they ate and ate and ate....it wsa very rewarding.....this mornig ifixed them english muffins and sausage and applesauce for breakfast, however, since i had let them sleep a bit longer this morning, the "van" was ready to leave and nothing stops the van, so i wrappped each english muffin around the sausage and covered it in a paper towel and sent each boy on their way....when Michael got home, he said they said that was the best breakfast ever......this evening i fixed tortilini and meatballs with spaghetti sauce which did not go over too well....oh well......i have cleaned up the kitchen while the boys were outside with their waterguns(it has taken me days to get them to understand that waterguns are "outside" toys--they seem to only bring the waterguns out when their daddy is away) while cleaning up the kitchen, i was occassionally needed to provide ammunition for their battles...they came in soaked, which was a perfect segue to showers....presently they are all clean and finishing up their day....Michael and i sort of share this time...sometimes he has complete responsibility of boys and sometimes i get to participate in the evening rituals...the boys seem to be settling in to and really enjoying the routine of having me here and being able to spend time every day with their daddy.....tomorrow i am going to pick up aidan and Michael jr. from school s the end of the day, while Michael Sr. picks Brendan from choir tryouts.....i am unable to express how much i am loving this time with the boys and with Michael...i feel God's blessings daily and i pray His blessings on all of you.....jk

well it is now 1:00 pm. the church service was wonderful...amazinghow one can be with hundreds of people and still feel as if one is intimately alone with one's savior and God,......i signed up for the thursday ladies' bible study which begins on thursday after labor day from 9 till 11 a.m. we will be studyine beth moore's Stepping Up a journey through the psalms of ascent.....i am so looking forward to that....today in church, i saw the girl who cut my hair and a sweet lady i met at walgreens where we chttedand i requested her prayers for Michaael, and low and behold she goes to church there too....what a small world....as i was walking out the door this morning to go to church, i saw the catholic minister, joe hardesty, who is the one who recommended i attend first christian church, and yelled hello to him and told him i was on my way to first christian....i told him i would invite him down sometime....he is probably in his thirtiues .. a nice young man....then i went grocery shopping, and then to the vegetable market and then to the meat market.....presently, the roast is on and i will go for a nap when i finish here...well, yesterday, the boys' mother, karen, came to pick them up as planned at 3....however, she stayed and visited until 4:30......the boys were so glad to see her and she had brought their little dog, Bexley......well Karen's most memorable words were "dont worry about bexley in the house..he doesnt go to the bathroom inside, he only goes outside to the bathroom"...famous words to never trust..because little bexley pooped in the floor...thank goodness he is a tiny dog, but nontheless.he pooped....karen said for me not wo worry about it because the boys would clean it up, which they did as good a job as any grossed out 6 year old and a 10 year old could do......i got out my mmiracle dog tt & poop cleaner and tried to work a miracle....it has yet to be totally gone....oh well, the evening ended with me watching the news recorded from friday which i hadnt been abe to see all week.......mike is leaving today to go to the hospital to work on some "charts" for a few hours so i may have the children tonight...i am really looking forward to it.....i wonder if they will like the roast....oh well, thats all i will serve...i do love those boys....brendan tries out for the school choir on tuesday afternoon after school....michael will get the other two boys off the bus at the end of their school day and i will drive to the school to pick brendan up when the tryouts are over...he wants so badly to get in it...he has a lovely voice...he knows he may not make it and that he can try again next year, however, i am hoping he makes it this year...i would love to go to see him perform....im going to take a nap....jk

yikes it is almost 8:40 and i need to get to church by 9.....i am totally ready and i am confident i can make it on time.....i cant wait to write the "real" post of the day....please check back, i do have a story to tell......jk

it is 9:38 snf th boyd sre fed, thekitchen is clean, i found the toaster and cleaned it and it looks like new, so i used it for breakfast eglish muffins, which the boys met for the first time, and i fixed the saugsage and aidan scrambled the eggs while i toasted the english muffins....they had the last of the orange juice and the milk...we turned off the tv, which they think is horrid of me and sat at the table for our meal with Grammy and her "conversation rule"(they say that i am mean for turning off the tv while we eat and Aidan says he cant stand conversation) i,of course, am not stymied one bit by their rantings and we always enjoy a quiet meal together with conversation...actually, aidan talks more than anyone.....i have requested that Bart, the owner of Bed, Bath & Biscuit, where Snowball and Zulu are presently being boarded, keep the dogs until the first of next week...as fulfilling as this job is, if you getmy drift, it is alot easier without two giant dogs to have to manuver (i dont know how to spell manuver and i am not going to look it up) around and occassionally clean up after....the boys are now dressed in their "mommy clothes" because she is supposed to pick them up at 3 pm this afternoon and return them at 3p.m tomorrow....anyway, i plan to have a relaxing evening and go to the first christian church tomorrow morning...life is so good...michael is doing better and he plans to try to work some in august ...if he is unable, for some reason, to not work in august, he will begin working his old 2p.m. to 11 p.m. shift in september and i will fill in for the care of the boys...MIchael's hope is to be able to change to a day shift beginning with his october shift....i am loving this...this is the day our Lord has made...i am already rejoicing in it....love you...jk

well, it is 7:58s.m. snd i sm alone in the house.....the last thing Michael said before he left to take the boys to school, was "boys, grammy is no longer in charge, Daddy is back"....this was in response to one of them saying "Grammy said for us to do this"......yesterday afternoon Michael regained the reins of fatherhood and the needs of his boys......last night is the first night i have slept alone since i have been here..,.Michael told the boys that everyone was to sleep in their own bed.....i arose this mornng after a great uninterrupted night of sleep, showered and then fixed breakfast for the first time on a school day for the boys..breakfast consisted of bacon and eggs with a choice of orange juice or miik (our habit had been to speed through mcdonald's drive through for apple juice and a sausage egg and cheese mcgriddle--which is not he healthiest thing in the world and costly, however, it was the best alternative i chose for getting the boys ready, fed and to school)........this morning the boys woke up without my song of "rise and shine" and were so excited to see me up and about and cooking breakfast.....Aidan attempted to sing "Rise and shine" but that was quickly drowned out by chatter from the other boys....man alive, do i love these boys.......their daddy awoke and told them to get ready for school and they told him that they were already ready and they had had breakfast and brushed their teeth...,.it was a proud moment for me......then they all got in the van with their daddy and drove the old familiar journey to school.......i know i will miss this part of my helping up here, but it is great to be able to watch Michael "father" his sons.....continue to pray for peace at this homefront and for God's hand to continue to be on this family....God is so good and blessings are being felt daily.....my precious Tim Chapman, i pray that his Florida home was spared of flood waters....i have heard nothing since last night when Suzy forwarded a text from Tim requesting immediate prayers to stop the flow of water that had already covered his entire pasture land and was creeping toward the home......I praise God for his avenue of prayer and the assurity that i know my prayers are heard.....Blessed Tim, i hope the next news we hear from you is good news......my friends, please pray for him and his family.......well it is 8:10 a.m........i wonder what i should do.....the kitchen is clean and my bed is made.....my mercy, i am loving this life....jk

well it is 12:30 p.m. and i am just now getting around to posting.....this mornng Aidan, 6, did not have his backpasck when it was time to get on the school bus, and he refused to get out of the van and get on the bus, so i was privileged to drive him back home to get it.....,then we arrived at school at 8:30 and i walked him inside and signed him in and watched him walk down the hall to his teacher.....he was afraid he was going to get in real trouble with his teacher if he came in without a backpack and now, i believe, he knows he would not be in "bad" trouble with his teacher or anyone else, for that matter and he understands the need to have the backack in the car the night before we are leaving and i reminded myself to remind the boys about things like backpacks when we leave for school......anyway, aidan and i had a good time in the van on our round trip....boy do i love those boys.....this morning all i have done is laundry, which, by the way, seems to never end, but i have always loved doing the laundry, so i am in a type of "heaven" sort of........the dogs remain in a boarding place so a smile is still on my face....they are due home on saturday morning.....alas......the weather up here remains great with cool mornings and nights and upper 70's or low 80's during the day...now it is slightly overcast....life is good.....Michael returned safe;y from florida last night.....my goal is now to be able to take pictures and to post them on this blog.......i guess, i will ask ramona how to do it when she, matthew, and karsen return from their trip to clovis this week.....i love you people, although you may be few in number, who are reading my blog qand commenting....love jk.
