Update
For those of you who have asked about my mom: She is at UMC right now. Brookhaven diagnosed her with Strep A in her blood. They were extremely concerned that the bacteria had gotten into her artificial heart valve. UMC is doing more tests. Her echocardiogram looked good but they want to do one more test to be positive. She is doing better. She sat up in a chair for 45 minutes yesterday. They are taking the catheter out today so she can go to the bathroom on her own. Her fever will break now but go back up slightly at times (slightly, not the 104.9 she had last Tuesday). For days she kept fever so that is a good sign.
She is a tough lady! She is a severe diabetic, has glaucoma, high blood pressure, an artificial heart valve, two knee replacements (and one of those replaced), and a pin in her hip. She still lives alone, works her garden and has a yard full of flowers. She even got hit by a dually pick up about four years ago in the local mall parking lot and was only bruised up. We still harass my oldest sister about letting our mom get run over! Mother’s older sister is 95 and up until recently has been in decent health. She is not doing well at all herself right now though.
I really, REALLY appreciate all the prayers. Last Tuesday we had received the worst news but I seriously believe prayer turned things around.
We are planning a party with all this going on. The redheads turned two yesterday. We are having a luau birthday party this Saturday. I’m looking forward to it. I will post some pictures here.
Thanks again for all your prayers dear friends!

It's Over
And no, I’m not talking about Jon and Kate. This is about MY relationship.
This was a very hard decision but it had to be done.
Our relationship was great while it lasted but I’ve decided I should end it. I’m very ashamed I let it go on this long. Over the past few weeks things have just not been the same. That desire is just not there anymore. And I know it was wrong anyway. Very wrong. It was just no good for me from the beginning but I was just too much in love to stop it.
And I’ve thought about it and I don’t want to make it work any more. I think this is the best time to end it. Some of you may not understand that but that’s just how I feel. I’ve got my future to think about. I’ve got my family. I need to stick around for them.
I honestly can’t remember the first time we met. I just know I fell in love that day. And it was great for many months but those feelings are gone.
So, I’m ending it now. Before my heart is totally gone.
Goodbye my love. *sniff*
My waistline and my arteries just don’t need you. The craving is gone. I may come around ever now and then but the daily rendezvous will be no more. It’s over.

Rain Dance
We have not had any rain since MEMORIAL WEEKEND! That is four weeks now. We are suffering. We've been trying to keep our patio garden and some of my flowers watered but they are just scorched.
So please, if anyone knows a rain dance come to my house. If you teach it to me I'll dance with you.
Maybe we can sing this Guess Who song and dance to it:
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?
Fifi said to Don the baker
Can you show me how to bake another bun, Don,
And I’m still sittin’ with my next door neighbour sayin’
Where’d you get the gun, John?
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?
Christopher was askin’ the astronomer
Can your telescope tell me where the sun’s gone,
And I’m still sittin’ with my next door neighbour sayin’
Where’d you get the gun, John?
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?
Changin’ just a few things
Laughin’ when the bell rings, on the go
Changin’ just a few things
Shootin’ when the bird sings.
Changin’ just a few things
Laughin’ when the bell rings, on the go
Changin’ just a few things
Shootin’ when the bird sings.
Don’t you wanna rain dance with me?

Some Twin Talk
This has been a super busy spring so far, at home and at work. Well, at home it mostly means doing whatever the redheads want to do which is staying outside as long as possible. As soon as I get home they start saying “outside, outside”. They love it outside. And we stay out there with them as long as we can. Thank goodness the mosquitoes have not been bad yet. Seems like there has been more flies than normal though. They are the biggest nuisance. But anyway, they run around, play on the little cars, sometimes get in the pool, wave at every car that passes, swing, slide, or whatever. They are happy as long as they are outside.
The girls have a pretty good vocabulary and are now making little sentences. Lil Sis tickled me the other day saying “Pawpaw at?” while holding her hands up in a questioning position. They both say “balloon” very well but can’t put the L sound at the beginning of a word. Popsicle is another favorite word. Chokite milk, gapes (grapes), fwuit, agoo (yogurt), chips, punch are some of their food words. Thankfully they are really good eaters and eat most anything you put in front of them, including greens. After a terrible round with fire ants, about ten bites on her foot, Lil Sis now says “stupid ants” very well. They say “sit down”, “moan Mawmaw” (come on), op’n it up, put ‘t up.
I wonder at what age all the big time singers usually start singing. These girls will get down singing. They may not know every word but they’ll drag out one word of the song and catch up on the next word they know. They sing with fervor too and those little heads are getting it from side to side. I need to get that on video for sure.
Potty training has pretty much stalled. I do my best to work with them on the weekends, but just weekends isn’t gonna get them trained. But it’s a start. They still may be a little young any way. I do see some light there though. For several weeks now as soon as Big Sis is wet she starts saying “poopie” and wants her diaper changed. She’ll run get up on the changing table and wait for you to come change her. Lil Sis has just recently started doing that. So, it’s a beginning anyway.
They’ll be two in less than three weeks. Time has flown by for sure. So we’ll be doing some party planning. I guess my babies are not babies any more. They are toddlers about to reach their terrible twos. I really don’t want to think about that!
