Rise and Shine Peeps

Morning Everyone! I hope you all had a great week-end. Tell me, what fun things did you do? I'll start.........went St. Louis to help My Sister move into a new house (not so much fun but I love My Sister). The cool thing about it was that we got so much done and my whole damn family was there...my parents from Texas, my brothers, my nephews, nieces.....it felt so wonderful for all of us to be together even if we were working our butts off. It made my Sister so happy which of course made me happy. I have a new Great Niece as of yesterday 8 pounds 1 ounce, 22 inches long and her name is Isabel Catherine and I may be a little bias but she is sooooooooo beautiful. Ok............tell me what you did Hugs. Barb

Morning Barb! Congrats on the new edition to the family!!! Hope you are doing well..... Love and Hugs Julie

Morning Julie It is so fun to have new babies in the family...you can love and spoil them and send them home to Mom and Dad It doesn't get any better then that I hope you and Greg and your family are doing well also. Hugs to you Barb

AWWEE that sounds wonderful Barb.. even if you did have to bust yer ass I on the other hand did nothing.. friday after work and saturday not much more either except for some laundry... and I must admit.. my jammies do need washed cuz I didn't get outta them until sunday morning.. Sunday.. went to AA meeting with Dan and then grocery shoppin and then to my cousins house for my aunts 73rd birthday.. listened to my cousins husband and friends play/sing some wunnerful country tunes.. I was thinking this morning how nice to visit with family.. especially as I and they creep up in age.. there were times *when I was still drinking* that I would not have went.. cuz I would have been hangin with my bar friends.. or hung over at home. That was even one reason why I wanted to stop drinking.. if I were to drink and be intoxicated and something happened to either parent and I was needed at the hospital... I would never have forgiven myself for being wasted and not being there. Just stuff to think of as we and parents get older.. hugsss

You are so right My friend............we have to treasure the time we have with our families so that when they are gone we are not saying I should have, would have, could have...instead we were there, we were present and we can hold on to those memories knowing we shared a lifetime. I'm so proud of you Rhonda for not drinking..I know it is a day at a time but you have accomplished so many days already I love staying in my jammie's they make me happy Hugs. Barb
