WhewwwWeeee Life Goes Right On With or Without Us

I can't believe I have not been here since June 6, '08, but alas it is true. My baby girl is now All Grown UP, She graduated with a Blue Rope from Nursing Class. I am so proud of her that I am jumping up and down inside. Inside is all I jump and that is not always possible.

Kadyn, the little man you see above, is now as you see him below. Minus the Tiger suit. We do change him. :) He will be one year-old in February. My how they grow. And grow.

I think this is the first day in one month I actually left the house and stepped outside the gate. However horrid this is of me, I love this picture with a passion. My Natalee and me. We made it.

Below is a group photo of the happy family. Are they not beautiful? I still have not seen the new baby as I have been ill with Bronchitis for approximately one month.
My Grandson "Zesty" will be two years-old in March, and we now have a most beautiful little sister for him - her name is (forgot her cute little nickname as it has changed from "Sprite". Go here www.lemonliving.blogspot.com and see for yourself the excitement going on in the Lemon's Household.

I must say my Grandbabies have captured my Heart and there's no return from Babyville. They are fabulously remarkable. "Splenda" (In the Family pic above) is my soon to be 12 year-old Granddaughter. To my dismay, I see her very little. I gotta work on the hugs though, with her not being around me much in her little 12 years, she's not sure how to handle all those Nana hugs that I so want to give her. Oh well, time to sit back and watch her growing into that beautiful little lady she is becoming.

My Lyme Disease has not shown up in the most recent test, as I knew it probably would not. However having a bite for eight years before being diagnosed has left a path of destruction throughout my body. The second bite was caught in time; THANK GOD. I cannot imagine having two bites to leave my body devastated, as the first one gifted me with chronic damage. There are times when I am unable to raise off of the couch for anything that is not absolutely necessary. My depression is major. MAJOR. Where am I? I look in the mirror not recognizing the person staring back at me. That in itself is depressing in addition to the pain. What happened to the vibrant woman I was still just 10 years ago? Not a day goes by that I do not pray to be better. To be me. Again. Permanently.

Going to Walmart is a huge task. I walk mostly with my head down so that I do not have to look into eyes of people who knew me when.

Maybe I should go to sleep. I've been awake for over 24 hours now and it's not looking like I'm likely to get a nap.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I don't want to go out to join the festivities. I just don't. But, I will.
