They had a Great Time,

Little Grands are So Happy

Mommy & Daddy are

&

I am Tired also Happy to

Be at My Home, in My Own Bed.....

I will post some pic as soon as I

get the Camera
(left it at my daughters)

So Monday will be a Day of Rest for

Me & My Cat~

More Later

Wishing You All a Wonderful Week

72 Hours & Counting....

After 5.5 Very Full, Long Days

I think I can say,

We are on the Home Stretch....

72 More Hours & I will

be

Home,

My Home,

Just Me & Elliot Alex the Lion

(my cat)

Snug as a Bug in a Rug

Resting, Dozin, Sleeping

&

Snoring

I guess I shouldn't be counting My Chickens

before their Hatched, but I do see the

Light at the End of the Tunnel

&

I Don't think it's

God

Calling!

{hope I don't sound like a mean Bubbie who wants to get away from the Grands, I really would Not have Missed this Opportunity ~ just after 8 days & nights, I'm Just a Tired Old Bubbie}

You Know Your Tired

When

Your Grandson's

morning nap

Only

consists of 45 minutes

&

My

Response was

Hell's Bell's

I don't think that has ever crossed My Lips

Before

8-3 = 5 More Days...

I had a chance to get on the computer

while little ones are Finally

Napping

Middle of Day 3

so

5 More to Go

&

This Bubbie is Tired....

This is Exactly why we have Children at a Younger Age....

I raised 3 of My own

but were they Easier back in the 80's ????

Guess I'm Just Old (er)

and so use to Just Me & My Cat

while at My House

Sorry No Pic ~ don't know how to down load photos

at My Daughters

but do have some cute pics in my camera

I took at the

Cider Mill Yesterday

Went right after the Oldest got off the School Bus

ww had Fun ~ hardly anyone there....

Hope to post again,

Really Missing Visiting all My Favorite Blogs

Off to Make Memories & Cookies

This

Lady is Out of Here,

Not going far, just the next city over,

But Still,

I am packing My Things....

I'm going to

"Bubbie Sit"

an Entire

24/7

with My 3 Favorite

Little Ones,

My Sweet Grands

My Daughter & SIL are headed on a Cruise

Celebrating Their 9th Anniversary

&

the very first Vacation they have had since being

Married ~

A Vacation Well Deserved....

So I'll probably be MIA from Blogging till about

the 2nd

I know We'll have Lots of Fun, but can already

imagine the Exhaustion after it all

Send Energizing Thoughts, Please!

This Little Guy is just 13 months & in to

Everything....

These are the Sisters of Little Guy,

The Oldest will be in school each day,

so seeing her off to the bus

&

then to Greet her at the end of the day,

with the littlest Sis who is 3,

helping me navigate

The routine of the Day....

Lots of Fun Stuff Planned, like making Halloween treats for School,Pizza Night

&

Maybe venture out for Breakfast on the Weekend....

I must admit,

this has been in the workings

for a year now

&

from the beginning,

I was alittle Worried about whether I could

handle all 3 ~

It's not like when I was younger & raised 3 Myself

(many years were as a single Mom too)

Sometimes I just Feel Old

Now,

I do Bubbie Sit alot for these 3,

but,

this is the

Very First Time

for a Whole Week.

Just Me ~ Just Them

So Let's Say, We're All

Making Memories....

Wish Me Luck

&

See Ya in November

Blooming Inspiration

It's Fall, it's cold, it's Michigan.....

The Skies are filled with what looked

today like Snow Clouds ~

a bit of rain today & for just a moment

were tiny little ice pellets

High today was 48

Heavy Frost is predicted for tonight

so it will be Cold....

What Better to post about,

then my Favorite

Indoor Floral

Inspirations.....

stacks of Old cigar boxes from the

Messy House I cleared this summer

Inspiration Friday

Beautiful Parkway...

Heading out to My Daughters on Saturday

where we were all meeting for

My Birthday Lunch....

I drove the Scenic Route

[Edward Hines Parkway

a Natural Flood Plane

for the river that it winds along]

I was driving all by myself & set my camera on the

Sports setting, so I just held my camera out &

snapped away as I was Driving, never looking, just pushing the button

every few moments....

You can see the side of my Old car or the reflection

from the window

I have learned to use the Sports setting

with the Grands ~ No Blur with all their movements

EnJoy

Have a Wonderful Week

Opening Doors...

I tell you, it has been A Week ~

A Week filled with Sadness, Fear & Worry

Changing in the Blink of an Eye to week

of

Comfort, Encouragement & Hope

I was Reminded many times to Look for the Door ~

that

God Never Shuts a Door, Without having another Door for You

to Open

Well, I now have My Heart & My Eyes

Wide Open

* * * * * * * * * * *

Today is My 54th Birthday

I am going to Celebrate & Know that

GOD

has His Plan for Me

for a week that started out with total Fear, I am ending it with

Faith

Have a Beautiful & Blessed Weekend

To Ponder & Pray

Today I am posting on a personal level,

something I don't normally do....

Many of you who visit or follow know that

I am a Care Giver for a Sweet Lady with Alzheimers

I have been Taking care of her for many years...

I was always there, whenever Her Hubby could not be,

While He Worked, Traveled & His other commitments....

Hubby & Sweet Lady are also My Landlords

My apartment was part of My Care Giving

(even thou I live 39 miles away from them)

For awhile now, I have or at least should have been

aware that Hubby could & would at some point in Life, Retire....

I Should have been More Prepared for this,

Not only in Spirit, but in Monetary ways...

Well,

It Happened

I feel like it Blindsided Me

Out of the Blue, No Notice, No Chance to Save Alittle....

One day Your In & The Next Your Out

I never was paid much in compensation

yet,

My Benefits included:

The Sweet Little Place I Live

Gas for My car to cover the travel

Utilities

For Now

I will still be On Call, but it may only be once a week

or an occasional trip

I Will NOT be Paid at all, but for the time being

I can stay living in the Sweet Little Place

I call HOME

But

NO MONEY

Finding another Job here in Michigan is Not an easy thing to accomplish here

(or anywhere in this economy)

I am also Not a Licensed Care Giver

I was Blessed to have come across the job I had

as Private Care

So, if any of You are wondering Why in the World

I am listing so many things on

Etsy & Ebay

I am Trying to Survive....

To Be Honest, I have 0 in the bank

and Very Little in the Pocket Book

I Ponder on My Future

&

As Always

I PRAY

Thanks for listening while I vent from the Heart

xox

If anyone knows how to promote my etsy shop or my blog more,

please let me know....

I feel I need to get the word out

I just started listing items recently on etsy

even thou I opened my shop I think in 07
