Still alive and kickin'

Believe it or not, I am still here! It seems like I have been running in reverse lately. Finding myself on Facebook for a short period of time and not taking time to come over here and really apply myself into writing a blog entry.

Sometimes I suck. Anyway, here I am, with an update on life as it is happening to me.. Breanna just finished finals, her first year in college. She says her grades are good. At least she is smiling and working and enjoying herself, as she should as a happy 21 yr old.

Last weekend Dana, Bre and I went to Denver for the weekend. It was AWESOME! we got to stay at a great hotel, with a hot tub and indoor pool. We got to shop at my favorite mall (Parkmeadows mall), we bought Mrs Fields cookies, sat and read books at Borders, saw the Denver Broncos drumline and Breanna had her pic taken with Miles the Bronco mascot.

We also had some great meals out, and saw the Rockies kick ass on the Florida Marlins! Even though the weather didnt cooperate and the temps were in the high 40's at game time, Mothers day and the Rockies game was incredible!

I am ready to go back to see another game!

My dad has been in declining health, and fell twice yesterday. He was transported to the ER last night and admitted to the hospital. He is going to have to face the reality that he cannot live alone any more. It is a sad situation, please keep him in your prayers.

I hope you all dont lose faith in me when I have these breaks in making posts, blogging has just fallen to the back burner for a while, but I am not giving it up yet!

Have a great week, see you next time!

I'm glad you had a good weekend with the gang and please tell Bre congratulations! Not that I had any doubts she'd do well :)

Maybe this is what your Dad needs to go through, sadly, but now maybe he'll listen to you. He'll be in my prayers of course.

Glad you're back. I missed you!

Welcome back! I took a break too, but am back again myself.
Hope your dad's ok, and that this wake up call will help him listen to you. He'll be in my prayers.

Hugs,

I'm happy to hear from you - and I won't hold a grudge about how long it's been!

Sorry to hear about your dad. This is such a difficult thing with aging parents. I've been there, and it's not easy. I'll keep you and your father in my prayers.

Congrats, Bre, and glad you guys had such a fun time!

Are you kidding me....you are one busy woman with a LOT on your plate. I have no excuse...my blogging just is not top priority any more. I want to start another one that is private....what do you think??? Would you read yet ANOTHER one?

I hope your dad (and your family) finds peace and comfort. Please take care of yourself and know that I am thinking of you. Wish I could do more! Take care friend.

I am really glad you had a great weekend with Bre and hubby. Going to the game and getting away....just what the doctor ordered huh? Good job!

You can't get rid of us that easily.

Yay for Bre's good grades! And your day in Denver sounded awesome!

I will be praying for your Dad. I hope he recovers soon and can get the help he needs adjusting to living alone now.
