Merry Christmas 2010!
This year does not feel like Christmas. I am sad I will not be getting my early morning Christmas Day jingle from my Granny. As early as it was, I really looked forward to that.
Maybe it is because this year started out rocky for us and so far it has ended on a good note in that department but it still made for a rough year.
I would like to take a second to thank those of you who are not with your loved ones this year, those of you who are divided by a set of orders. While I too, have been in your shoes a time or two, maybe even 3, I want you to know that I am thinking of you. I pray that you have the strength to make it a wonderful Christmas. Just remember we might not be doing it together but we can support you and actually say we have walked in your shoes.
So, Merry Christmas from our home to yours!

The last 5 days
Have been a blur. I am physically and emotionally tired.
Why you ask?
At 630 Saturday Munchkin and I were on a flight to Pensacaola to see my Granny. The same Granny I have mentioned before that had cancer, Stage 4 small cell lung cancer.
Friday I was told I should probably come out and I heard her on the phone say she would pay for my ticket.
Saturday when I made the long journey there she could barely squeeze my hand. :(
My best friend, my Granny, My 2nd mother passed away Saturday December 11th 2010 at 10pm after a long HARD fight with lung cancer.
My Granny was a strong willed, opinionated woman but most of all she always was a fighter. She never backed down from what she wanted or believed in. She taught me the same.
I will always remember shopping, her cooking and cooking from scratch. I will remember those times she watched me play soccer in the heat and the rain, the times she took us swimming and fishing. Leading my girl scout troop and teaching us how to make butter in a baby food jar. Her afro and her stinky hair spray and her love of wild earrings with bright colored clothes. She loved sweet tea and diet coke once upon a time, her dirty romance novels that we went to book stores to get with her list on collage ruled notebook paper. Her learning out to use the first "smart phone" I ever owned.
You see my Granny was a wonderful woman. She saw the good in everyone and was truly a wonderful woman. She was loved by all of my friends and everyone called her Granny.
i could tell you so many things about Granny. I will truly miss her. I called her practically every day, that will be the hardest thing.
I was able to see her give her kisses and tell her how much I love her before she passed. Most of all she was able to see Munchkin, who was named after her.
My Poppy (grandpa) passed away in 1999 and they will be buried together. I just hope the man upstairs is ready for this bunch :)
Granny, I love you and you!

Juggle....
Last night I signed back into Twitter after not having been on in quite sometime. The folks I have met on Twitter are amazing and I missed the conversation that I had. I feel bad for the fact that I pretty much fell off the face of the earth. I apologize for that.
About 10 years ago I realized that I wanted to own something. I wanted to run something. I did not want someone to run me. Then I had kids!
Growing up I was always crafty and I was always making something. Now that I have had kids I feel that would be something good for me to get into.
So I started sewing and making Munchkin's diapers and it has lead to other things. Hoping I can just make a couple things a month to pay for the hobby. If it takes off wonderful. If not I can always try later.
I have enjoyed having my husband home with no duty days. He finally gets to do part of his job rather then part of his job and part of everyone else's.
So in juggling family, my home business and life I have neglected my blog. I have a lot to say and a lot that I want to share with you. I hope you are still around for the ride. We have many journeys coming up and I hope you would love to share them with me :)
