7/27/18 -- Whenever, I sit down to type this blog, I try not to make it too long. I just don't want my readers to lose interest. I know that I also need to post something more regularly to attract more readers and hopefully gain more. I do, at times, feel like I could type for quite some time, as I sit down to type.
I am excited because I got so many clothes and I haven't had new clothes, of this quantity in such a long time. I now have plenty of tops and skirts along with dresses that I can wear to work, if it's the right place for dresses and skirts. I now could use some new pants, but that'll come eventually, whenever I get a job that allows for the money to spend on clothes. I also can use some new underwear, and bras, along with maybe a camisole or two.
I have job interview on Monday to work with Autistic children. I hadn't really thought about doing that but I wouldn't mind trying something new, and learning something new in workin with children. I love children and have never worked with children in this way, so if I am successful in getting this job, it will be great to work with children in this capacity.
With regard to death, I must say that I am done with it for now. 3 family members dying in less than a year is a bit much. However, I do realize that I don't have any control or say over whether someone dies or not. It's just the fact that 3 in a short amount of time is a bit ridiculous. Anyway, Now I am checking in on my Uncle to be sure he's doing ok. I really want to keep in contact with him and the rest of my family and texting is a great way to do it.

Once Again, It's Been Awhile......
7/26/18 -- Yes, once again, it has been awhile since my last posting. I have just had an aversion to getting on my computer. I spent so much time on it, job hunting and nothing coming of the few interviews and bunches of uploads, so I just stopped getting on as often if at all.
Well, since my last posting I lost one babysitting job, the one that I would go and watch an 8yr. old little girl. I had picked up a better paying one day a week babysitting job so the grandma had to find someone to pick up that one day. So, she was able to find someone but this person, who does childcare in her home, wouldn't take the little girl just one day a week, she wanted her all week, so I was done. Right at the same time when I wasn't going to be needed for two weeks for the one day a week childcare job.
Unfortunately, that job loss came at a good/not so good time because that Saturday; I was at my mom's house when she got the call that her sister in-law/my aunt has passed away, that very day. So, I knew that we would be going to the funeral that next week.
We did go to that funeral, which was on Wednesday, of that following week. That was a rough yet good thing to go see parts of my family that I haven't seen in over 10 years.
I gotta say that there has been quite enough death in my family!!! 3 people in less than a year have passed away, in less than a year, in my family, I am done with death for awhile!! It ended up that my sister, you youngest daughter, our mom, and myself all drove to Ohio, for this funeral. We left midmorning on Tuesday and got to my mom's oldest sister's house about 7pm ish. The drive was long but uneventful with my sister driving. It was nice to be able to spend some interesting time with my cute little niece, opening things for her and having her call me Aunt. I hadn't heard any of my nieces or nephews call me Aunt, in quite a long time.
The funeral service was nice and it was great to see my Uncle whom I hadn't seen in 12 years, along with my cousins and their families. It is sad that my Aunt is gone, but good to see her whole family.
I did come away from that time in Ohio with 2 1/2 kitchen size garbage bags of clothes, from my mom's youngest sister. My sister got 1 full bag cause those clothes I knew wouldn't have fit me, plus there was a few that I didn't like. I had preliminarily gone thru those bags, the night before we left Ohio. I basically got a whole new wardrobe from my Aunt. The bags mainly consisted of shirts, some dresses and a couple of skirts. My Aunt is a bit taller than me so she didn't figure her pants would fit me. Out of 6 dress there is only one that doesn't fit and one that has to be shortened by a little.

It's Been Awhile, again....
7/1/18 -- I met my son and most of his family at a Chik fil-a about an hour from where I live, and 2 hours from him. (closest thing to meeting in the middle)
My daughter in-law had messaged me about 2-3 weeks ago, asking if my dad had any tools that my mom would be willing to either sell or give to my son, to help out with what he needs for his job. I told that he has a bunch of tools, and asked what he needed. She gave me a general list, which when I went back to mom's and took a look at what dad has in the basement, I was able to fulfill the request. There was only one or two things that I couldn't account for: and that was a second batter pack and charger for the drill that I found. I looked on Amazon to be sure that he could get the the charger and a second battery pack, and he can. My Daughter in-law and I decided to meet in Madison to get the tools to my son.
We met at a Chik fil a and I actually had to overcome my "fear/nervousness" for driving in a high stinkin traffic area. Thankfully, that restaurant wasn't too difficult to get too, but I just flat out despise driving in high traffic areas. I literally have to have specific directions including the lanes that I need to be in to make the necessary turns on the right off ramps and such.
I gotta say that I was overcome with emotion when I saw my two granddaughters, for the first time in like 3 years. I quickly got control because I knew I wouldn't get the same response, due to the fact they haven't seen me in that same length of time and my youngest doesn't even know me. The middle one, I think just was being somewhat shy and unsure because I know she remembers me, it's just been a long time. We need me time to get reacquainted and to get to know the youngest one.
I will admit it was nice to hear my son call me mom, haven't heard that in a long time.
I did tell my daughter in-law that the pictures that I have seen of my littlest granddaughter (even though she does an awesome job of capturing those beautiful blue eyes) just don't do her justice. My littlest granddaughter is even cuter in person.
