I am happy and now just praying for him to get home safe.....Without details, PLEASE pray for my friend ANA....Thanks..Love, Gail

Bye for Now Dear.......................

Bob left back to MI today. I cried for about an hour. Now my eyes hurt... We had a very great talk before he left. About us, the future, jobs, love and Jesus. As he was pulling out of the drive way, his dad and step mom were driving home from New Mexico and I was so glad they all got to hug. Kisses and hugs, tears, and kleenex......Bob drove off, then I came in blew my nose, and took a nap. He just called and he is almost to Nebraska. I took this picture right before he left. He took Izzy and I have Pilgrim now. It was nice having him home to do all the chicken chores. Now I have to go out in the cold and close them up for the night. It's a full moon tonight. Very neat. Hope it guides Bob safely to MI. We had a few inches of snow while Bob was here. It was so pretty. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.......Ok, Please feel free to comment me.....Love, Gail

Well it is Sunday morning and I am done with the wedding. It went very well. I used both cameras. My 35mm and my digital. I believe I took over 200 pictures. Want to see one.. Ok I will add it to this blog. I love when the wedding is over and the stress is over. The bride, my friend Netta, looked so beautiful. I got to sit, when I did get to sit, with old friends from where I used to work. I worked a full 8 hours. Ok I have to go to church and greet today then go take care of the little ones in the nursery. Busy day. And Bob comes home for 5 days tomorrow. Yes. He and I will have a simple, quick Thanksgiving. Blessings!!!! Yes I got em...

Happy Thanksgiving all.

I LOVE NEW CRAYONS!!!!

Kids,Husbands, and Giggles....................

Hi, Nothing exciting going on. Read my Myspace blog. I have been enjoying work and not enjoying work. So many sad children, out of control, and starving for attention. This is a whole different generation. Children with parents that just do not care about them. Like I have said before, I hate hearing any of the children say, " I did this at my Dad's house, and I went here, when I went to my Mom's house." YUCK! These poor scattered kids. They don't have a real HOME. We have a little boy we have to make a behavioral plan on. Oh this poor kid. He is the youngest of 4. He screams, drops to the floor, hides, cries, and is just plain defiant. But I love him so much. I feel sorry for him and what ever is making him so mad. We have two other kids in my class that are brothers. They come to school dirty, smelly, no underwear on, filthy feet because of no socks. They live in a nice place. With two bath tubs. The mom tells me "We just don't have the money for extras, like socks and shoes. " Extras? BUT.....Guess who smokes? MOM. I am sick of the excuses. We even send kids home in new socks, clothes that are clean, we buy shoes, they get lost somehow. I love these kids and my heart just is so sad for how they have to live. God just tells me..."Gail, just love them." So I do. We sing a song everyday about how special each one of them is, and we end by hugging ourselves. And I get hugs all day long. It's wonderful. Chaotic sometimes, but we keep going. I just wish parents would either get spayed and neutered, or take care of the awesome kids that God blessed them with. Love and discipline, love and more love and listening to their kids, and loving each other.
The End.

So that's my life these days. Bob is still gone, and may be for 2 more mns! They want him to stay on as a house tech. Sometimes I just wish he had a regular job here. It's been 58 days apart so far. So I say.......... Bye Thanksgiving, bye Christmas. I wanted to fly out to IL. but that doesn't seem like it will happen. :( Bob may be home for Thanksgiving. Who knows? What God has planned, will happen.

I made my co workers laugh their heads off yesterday. I showed them what I did way back in the late 80's. I auditioned for 'America's Funniest People', and I put a leg of a pantyhose over my head and pulled it up and down and up and down. Well my face was so contorted, you just had to laugh. I looked so funny. But anyone, not just me, would look funny like that. My co-worker had to pee, she was laughing so hard. It was very funny. Oh I am just the life of the party. Ha ha.

So that is all for now. I love Fall. Crispy leaves and the smell of someone who has their fireplace burning. Love it. Tomorrow I go to a Birthday party for one of the cuties in my class. It will be fun.. Until next time...Say your prayers everyday...............................................................Peace
