This time of the year
Only once a year I get myself a small bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans and I don't share with anyone. I'm such a meanie. I'm normally not a fan of jelly beans, but around Easter I see the little bags out in stores and it makes me want them. I like most of them, All except for the buttered popcorn flavor, thats just WRONG!
Tomorrow is my baby's birthday, she will be 9. I have a party planned for Saturday afternoon at a pizza place. Time goes by so fast that it's sad sometimes. I wonder sometimes what in the world i'm gonna do with myself once she's gone. J is not really a kid person at all, It's one area that I wish he was different in. But, he didnt raise his own kids and it doesn't bother him in the least when he goes months without hearing from them. I can understand that about his kids, they are just pitifully lacking in so many areas due to their upbringing with their mother and step father. It's sad really, It's just like redneck hell at their house and they love it that way! I'm just different I guess, I absorb myself in my kids, especially my little one, and I love it that way, wouldn't have it any other way.
She's leap testing this week. She was worried about it Sunday night so much that she couldn't sleep. After day one, she was so excited and couldn't wait to take the next test because it was about writing and she loves that. I'm hoping that she will score high on the test, I expect her to. If her score is high, she will be tested for gifted again. She is also testing for her probationary black belt Saturday morning. Big week for her this week.
I got a text from my oldest daughters boyfriends cell phone yesterday. It said * Whutupma?* and thats it. I tried to call them back, no answer of course, left a msg but still haven't heard back.. I dont expect to. It's been since the first of Jan since I've saw her or the baby. Almost 3 months. God has his reasons for all of this, just wish that I knew what they were sometimes.
My azaleas are beginning to open up. In a few years this yard will be just beautiful with them, once all the new ones that i've planted get bigger. I planted about 20 or more the last couple of weeks. I love working in the yard this time of the year.
I'm thinking of having my 14 yr old poodle knocked out ( that sounds awful!) and having his hair cut, ears cleaned out and toenails cut as short as they can get them. He hates for anyone to mess with him now that he's gotten so old. His cataracts are so bad that he cant see well, can't hear hardly at all now either, but he's perky and fiesty and will bite you like crazy if you mess with his feet. It was so tramatic last time I took him to be groomed that I said no more, it really upset him to the point that he was throwing up.. the groomer even had to call us to come up there to hold him while she tried to cut his feet. This dog is like my child and more loyal than any man that I've ever had,lol.. it upsets me to leave him when I know he's upset. It just wasn't worth it to go thru all that or to put HIM thru all that. Weve been cutting his hair ourselves, but my gosh he looks awful because he wont let me cut his feet. I've been nipping one toenail at a time while he's asleep.. once he feels the cutter clamp down on it he comes alive and thats all she wrote, lol. He just needs to be cut really short, at this point I don't care how pretty he looks, all the hair just needs to be off for the summer.
I'm off to rake sweetgum balls.. again :(
