Crazy Weekend

This is how my weekend went. Work all day Friday then get off work and mom calls wanting my help over at grandmas to help load up somethings on the truck. So go do that go shopping for Jasmine a dress for Sandie's wedding and then to shop for her a gift. Got all that done then go over to moms to help her set up for her yard sale. Get home at 11:15 talk to Donnovan for a little bit then off to bed at midnight. Get up the next morning at 5:45 to go help mom with the yard sale and get through with that at 1pm rush home to get ready to have Jasmine at the church at 2 for the wedding she was suppose to help with the register. Didn't happen we got there are 2:40. Oh well I told mom I needed to leave at 11 so I could go get ready and do Jasmine's hair too. Wedding was a hoot and Sandie and Jason was so sweet together and happy. Everything was beautiful. I loved the colors she had. Food was awesome Greg did a great job of course. There were some mishaps but we had a great time. So then we went to visit mom before she left to go back to Virginia. Went to p/u Jasmine from a play she went to see and then home to get into the bed at 10:30. I was so tired I slept till 9:30 the next morning and wouldn't have woke up then but mom came down before she left. So we had a great day Sunday rested and relaxed and visited Louise and just didn't do anything much. Great Day with my family except me and Jasmine got into a BIG argument about driving. I hope now she understands where I am coming from. She apologized later on and said she did understand. So I wonder how many more we will have??? Well this week should be smooth Jasmine is leaving Friday to go with my aunts to the my moms for a 10 days of fun and sun. Kids have it made!!!!

Happy and Sad Day

Well Jasmine went to get her permit this morning. I am glad she got it but sad because that means she is one more step to growing up. This time next year she will have her license and a job and she will be a jr at school after that. Where has time gone??? It seems just the other day I was walking her into
Sherwood and now she is at Ashbrook in 3 years she will be graduating and then off to college. My baby is growing up and this is sad. She has been such a blessing to me .

Virginia Beach















Well this past weekend we went to mom's house to check it out and see the beach. Her condo is really nice I love the layout. It doesn't seem like home but she is still working on it. I guess home will always be at Churchill Drive. It felt weird walking into it the first time and she said this is home. I loved the view. We took Lady our older Chi with us and she was so funny. I have never ever seen her act so happy and full of life. As soon as we got back home Sunday she went back into her shell. Poor dog. So this is how the weekend panned out. CRAZY CRAZY is all I can say. So I don't get into the bed until 12am Thursday nite and then have to get up at 6:30 to be at work by 8am cause my coworker is having to work on the truck Friday. So work all day till 4:30 get off fly home get everything ready and packed and wait on Donnovan to get home at 7pm. We load the car he takes a shower and we finally get to leave at 8:30. So then we have to stop and get dinner so we are out of Charlotte at 9pm. I drive all nite we finally get to moms at around 3:15am get unpacked and stay up till 4am. Go to bed then I am up at 7:30 up and ready to go well I am the only one up and ready to go. So finally everyone starts waking up and we get ready and go to the beach around 11:30. It is hot as you know what heat index is 106. But the kids had fun and the wind was blowing a bit so it wasn't totally unbearable. Of course we had to pack the kitchen with us to take. LOL (you know mom) The boys stayed in the ocean from 12pm till 5pm and played non stop. They came up and ate a sandwich and went back they were wore out by the time we left and that nite they didn't feel like doing anything but sleeping and resting. But no we didn't let them we took them back down to the boardwalk and they road a couple of rides and then back to the house. I think we wore mom and Don out after we left they had to take a nap. So we slept really good Saturday nite after we got back. DaShun got sick in the middle of the nite from all the heat and excitement and lack of sleep. So we left at 3pm to come back home Sunday and feel out. We took the kids home Monday morning and stopped by Waffle House and had breakfast. Jasmine started drivers ed Monday and per her instructor she did great and can get her permit Friday. YEAH YEAH!!!!! So this was our trip the next time I am going to go for a long weekend while Donnovan is on a long trip. I will miss having him go with me but we can't do those trips like that is was to stressful and tiring. Until next time peace love and happiness always!!!!

This Week and Weekend

Well Donnovan asked me the other day why do I not post on here anymore and to be honest just don't think about it. So to make him happy I am posting. Well not much going on my way and the family but work and this and that. We are driving to mom's this weekend to spend a couple of days. We aren't going to be able to leave till Donnovan gets home from work Friday night so hopefully that will be early. That is if he can keep his partner out of the rest areas. He has medical problems that for some reason no one can fix. Another story for another day. Trust me when I say I never thought Donnovan didn't have patience but riding with him I know he does he just DOESN'T practice it with me. LOL
Well the kids are doing fine Shea graduated this year from Shelby High went to that on June 9th. She is going to Gardner Web to study nursing. DJ is playing football this summer and went to a training camp he is #5 next year don't know about his grades it is best I don't ask. So he will be a 11th grader next year. Jasmine will be a 10th grader next year. She made all A's of course and a GPA 4.75/4.00. Totally proud of her. DaShun will be in the 8th grade next year. I don't really know how he does in school every time you ask he don't know. So I stopped asking. But everyone passed!!!! WHOOHOO
Mom seems excited about us coming up it is just such a long driver for 1 1/2 but oh well I am going anyway since Donnovan didn't have to take that other trip. Give the kids something to do anyway. We are waiting to hear from Jasmine's school about her driving so she can go get her permit. It is taking entirely to long.
Well we have another dog not by my choice at all. I was happy feeding him and him living at Shea's. So now all my pretty green grass that I have never never had at the area where my gate is all gone:(. So we have got to do something cause I can't go sit outside without him barking like crazy. NERVE RACKING!!!!!! But all in all he is a sweet dog and just wants some attention but I don't have time for it I have 4 of my own that don't require a lot just to sit on my lap that is what I like. I had some plans for my little lawn area but I don't see how that is possible now so back to the drawing board.
It is strange not having hardly any family around now. I seen Betty and Brenda the other day for about 30 mins and grandma moved up with Linda. All you hear from mom is I am going to the beach she is turning into a beach bum. LOL At least she is happy that is what counts she has earned it both her and Don. I like the beach but I don't think I would like living so close to one cause I wouldn't never get anything done and Donnovan would probably divorce me cause I would be there instead of working. Our life is great I love everyday of it I have a wonderful family and am so thankful for each of them. I love road trips and so do they so we are a perfect match. If I say go they say when don't even really care where just when how long we staying. So if they do good this mini trip we are playing our vacation first week of August. So July is gonna drag by.
This is long I know sorry but have a lot to say. So I am gone for now hope this finds everyone ,the total of 3 that reads it, in good health.
