I see it has been awhile since I have posted in my blog. I have been off work for two weeks so I don't have a legitimate reason for ignoring my blog. However I have enjoyed having the time off. I switched from cable to a satellite dish and got DSL for the computer. It costs me about the same as cable but I have a lot more channels to watch on the TV where I only had 13 before. So I have been exploring all the options. I really like the Animal Planet, History, and Discovery channel's. There are other favorites of course.
I picked up a client from someone who is on vacation until October 9th, it is a one day per week 4 hour job. Then I picked up another when the Home Health Nurse called, this one is two days per week at two hours per day. The money is good on both jobs.
This afternoon I was out in the back yard and caught Happy (dog) with a tomato that he stole right off the plant. Good thing it was a ripe one. Then he went back for more and was after a green tomato. I put a lawn chair in front of the tomato plant so he couldn't get at them. Dogs sure do the funniest things sometimes. But stealing the tomato was something I didn't expect.
I would really like to spend some time with my grandchildren, they are pretty busy for an 11 and 7 year old. They are involved in sports etc. So there is lots of practice going on. They only live a few miles away, but with the busy schedules on both ends it is difficult.
It gets pretty lonely, not being in close contact with family members. I'm sure a lot of mother's out there in cyberspace can identify with that. Our children get married, start their own families and it seems like mom gets put on the back burner until they need someone to watch the youngsters or there is a birthday party. We used to be so close. Then we moved far away from each other and only got together every couple of years. I've lived close by for 4 years now, one would think we would spend more time together.
Well that's it for this time. Y-all come back ya hear.

Heh, you're back. :) I haven't been here in awhile either, and haven't been keeping my blog up.
I understand about not seeing grandkids. My grandson, who just turns 21, lives right here in town and I never see him. He even lived with me about a year when he was 17.
I used to check his Myspace just to see what was going on.
I don't get lonely. I'm pretty much a loner, as maybe Jane has told you, but I do feel for those who want more of their family and don't get it.
I have one daughter who is here every day and calls a few times a day too. haha She's my youngest.
I sure like hearing about Happy and Bebe. THey become like our kids. I know my guys are. And I've enjoyed reading about your days, Marilyn. God bless. love, nita
