Ready for Life Again

We are still in the middle of this pandemic. It has been crazy. Oklahoma has open back up now and a lot of people are still in an uproar about having to go to work. I get that people are still afraid I do not necessarily want to be out and catch this bug... neither but I, also want there to be a life for my grandchildren and for me when I retire.
The best thing we can do is take precautions. Wash hands, limit our social life, pay attention to those around us, and stay in when you don’t need to go out. Some people think that because we did a shut in that the virus was just going to miraculously disappear and that was not the case.  The idea behind staying home was so we could slow it so that the hospitals and the medical staff were able to help us when/if we do contract the virus. My hope is that the heat from the summer will suppress it like it does for the flu.   Hopefully will be able to get back to somewhat of a normal life this summer and hopefully they will come up with a vaccine or an effective treatment so when it starts around again in the fall we are better prepared

My kids live some place else

For some reason, that I can't not make sense of, when my kids where little I knew they would grow up.  I thought about when they got bigger, but I never realized they would get bigger and move on with their lives.  It's sad sometimes at my house when it's just me and Dennis padding around trying to keep busy and me doing the same things I use to do... Clean house, grocery shop, organize a closet.  Now I'm not stopping ever so often to asnswer a phone call for a teenager or having to step over thier lastes school projects.  But the reality hits when one graduates and actually moves out of the house!  You think,, where ya going?  And then they reply with,  to build my own life!  Ugh, It's a sad thing to raise them just to leave. I enjoyed being a mom and wish I would have realized that it really doesn't last forever.

Little Blessings

The grandbabies bring me so much joy.  I loved my children and these little off spring of them are just as delightful.

Writing Away and Biting the Bullet

I have been trying to finish my books since the whole covid19 happened.  I thought about all the time and effort I put into writing them and thought, I really need to get them edited and published so that I atleast have a copy in my library of them.  How priceless would that be!?  

The amount of time it takes get the thoughts to full fruition is undeniably priceless.  I thought about what would happen if my books got fried in my computer!  Oh my heart!

I just had to bit the bullet and spend a few hundred to have it edited and printed.  It is something I am doing for me and I think I am worth it!  I will be posting it online as well ... possibly under a different name.   haha
