Well, this weekend really flew by and I really hate how fast the time slips away now, from zero to fifty-five in the blink of an eye. I don’t really mind getting older I just don’t like the sick part that goes hand in hand, but of course it really might help if I would break down and go to the doctor and find out what is wrong with me instead of always trying to diagnose myself. Sometimes I feel like a hypochondriac so I don’t bother to go for checkups.

I am one of those type people that refuse to go to the doctor unless I feel like I’m dying and since that isn’t very often I figure anything else is okay so long as I can move. It’s so funny looking back at my youth and thinking 30 was old and to be 55 boggles my mind and to know my sister is 61 cracks me up. Life is really funny if you stop and think about it and it can pass you by in the blink of an eye.

Teagan turned 1 and we had a big birthday party for her yesterday. Thank goodness she got lots of money instead of toys because there is no room left in that house for another toy. I have never seen 2 small children with so many toys, 2 and 1 years old, ridiculous. We have decided to never buy them another toy, just money and savings bonds, I’m sure by the time they reach 16 they should have enough money to finance a car easily.

Small children get very overwhelmed by a house full of toys. I know when Nate goes to visit his cousins it’s like a great big toy store and he tries grabbing everything at one time and pulls everything out, what a mess. Just looking at those mountains of toys makes my head spin and it makes me feel very sad for all those small  children in the world that have nothing. Hopefully they will donate some of that stuff soon.

I forgot to take my camera yesterday so I didn’t get any pictures, but maybe I can get some from Jodi to post. Teagan looked so cute in her little gold speckled shoes and she’s got her Pappy’s personality, she’s an out an out clown. They stopped by today and before I could catch her she grabbed up Shadows chew toy and stuck it in her mouth and started chewing on it…Yuck.

The little munchkin was all over the place, trying to climb the stairs, well not trying she was and doing a good job too. I love those kids, but I think my nerves would be shot if I watched them for long periods of time. A few hours here and there is fine by me. Thank goodness there are tons of people on the other side that love to babysit.

 I like when they sit and watch cartoons or color and are peaceful and quite. Not constantly running and getting into everything like a typical kid and eating the dogs food. I have noticed that all the grandkids mind a lot better when their parents aren’t around. I really don’t get that, it could be because they are spoiled rotten. Well, we have 2 more on the way both due in August if everything goes well.

I’m tired so I’ll say good night and put my tired old bones to bed. Shadow is laying beside me snoring. ( My 10 year old Eskie ) Poor old guy has his own aches and pains and every time he quits snoring I have to touch him to make sure he is okay. He is like my child, probably more so than my son was. I’ll add pictures of everyone soon.
