(Gracie just before bed tonight) OK, so my nightly veiwing of my new fave show - Hannah Montana - is over now and I just got Graciella to sleep. So I have a few seconds to blog before I get tired here. It is late, however ya'll just know me and bloggin... gotta do it ! I am so addicted ! :O)
Right now, I can tell you that I have actually had a really good night for once. I mean sure - it is super duper cold and all, but I had a really long and wonderfully, nice conversarion with someone that I hadn't spoken to in a long while, it was so good to talk and get things off my chest that I feel as if a weight was lifted off of my shoulders and the Lord answered some of my prayers too... how cool is that ?!
I didn't get too many things done here today really, it was so cold, so we didn't venture out like I should have - just stayed in a watched some TV and messed with my page here - and thanks to someone nice, got my comments box all fixed and now it is back ! Whew ~ took me a while ! Tommorrow I must make myself go to the store - we are little on food, so it is a must. I also have to do the dreaded laundry that for some reason just GROWS here for no reason what - so- ever and never ends ! grrrrr, I really dislike laundry !
I also got to talk to my friend Tammy in Memphis and she is okay after all those tornadoes ! whew - Thank God, I was so very worried about her that I wasn't sleeping well. Glad she's ok.
Now .... THE absolute WEIRDEST thing EVER happened here on Saturday and I swear this to all of you right now.. this is NOT made up ! For some of you, perhaps you remember that my daughters best friend here, named Hope passed away with her sister and grandparents October 12th in Madison at that horse show from carbon monoxide - right ? Well, Saturday Britt and I went to Goodwill, I had an hour to waste with nothing to do and thought we'd browse a bit..... anyway... we found like 3 or 4 things, I got a little basket and a cute outfit for Gracie ---- Britt picked out 2 little skirts that she just adored and was so happy now that I've decided to be a bit more leinient with SOME things she wears .... ok, so anyway - we get home - and she pulled off the tags from the clothes, so I could wash them, and suddenly I hear a loud scream ! She comes running up to me, eyes watery, saying ..."mom look, mom look".... then hands me this little piece of paper. I unfold it and this is what it says .....
" Dear Hopie, I am sorry if you are mad at me, I didn't know that you liked Devin, I love you and want to always be friends... Love Brittany"
OH MY GOD .... I was almost in tears and Britt was too of course - this has been SOOOOO hard for her. Can you believe THAT was HOPE's skirt ?????? I still can't believe it. She says that she will never get rid of it for the rest of her life. Here is a pic of Hope, she was Brittany's best friend.
Well, faith works wonders - let me tell you.
Before I go for the night tho, I wanted to make it clear that the matter with the other people is now totally cleared up and no more will be said. ever. So thank you dear friends for your comments, don't worry, all is better now. no worries, just a misunderstanding. All is happy - well atleast on that subject anyway !!! SO hey, disregard that last blog there ... maybe I won't need to take a break after all,,,, lol .... addictions - I would probably have not been able to hold out very long anyway !!!! :O)
Well, gonna go - most likely will be back tommorrow - errr - as usual ! lol. :O) Have a great night and good Monday everyone !
TAMMIE :o)
Sorry to hear about Hope and her family passing away from the CO Poisoning. That is really sad. What a surprise and shock for your daughter to find the note from her friend, now she has an everlasting treasure to cherish.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear things are improving. I wanted to tell you I think the picture of your baby daughter is wonderful. She looks so happy! Take care!
Whoa, that is just amazing! God sure does work in mysterious ways! Especially since I remember that she was particularly sad and felt like she hadn't gotten closure. Just amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are feeling better! I can hear it all throughout your blog! YAY!
I'd come and do the laundry for you if I could, that's one chore I don't actually mind! (you can come and clean the bathroom! :)~)
thats an adorable shot of Gracie! She's gonna be a handful! :)
That is so cool that the skirt she picked belonged to Hope! How wonderful!! I'm sure she will cherish that skirt for a long time to come. Loosing a friend at such a young age is so very hard.
ReplyDeleteTake care today!
How incredible to have picked that skirt~amazing.
ReplyDeleteHope things warm up soon!
Not sure what happened with the friends, but glad it is all fixed!
I know .... it all seems well neat. Windi, part of me says when is the other shoe gonna drop, good things dont happen here much anymore...
ReplyDeleteGod definately works in mysterious ways! That is really incredible.
ReplyDeleteGracie's pic is so cute! Gosh i sure dont miss the late hours of babyhood! I hope you finally got some rest!
