Today is the day

I am so ready. Just got some last minute things to pack. Got to pick up the rental. Take the dog to my aunts and we are gonna be out of here. I can’t tell you how ready I am to get away. How ready I am to get out of Charleston. The peace and quite of the country. Well, except for the kids playing, but that is more like music to me. Rabbit is even excited about getting out of here. We are going to look at houses while we are there. Who knows what the future brings.

Tuesday

Uh, this day can not go by fast enough. It seems like it is just dragging on. Maybe if I take a nap it will go by faster. We leave tomorrow and as you can tell tomorrow afternoon can’t come fast enough. I am just so ready to get away. Even Rabbit is getting a little excited. We haven’t been out of SC in a while.

The real estate agent has a few houses for us to look at while we are down there as well. I just want to look at the 3br/2ba 5 acres of land. I will look at the other ones also as long as they got a good bit of land with them.

I have change so much just in the past few months. I think my husband thinks I have gone crazy. He might be right. Maybe I have finally gone insane.

Anyway, just waiting for this day to end. later..

Weekend Round up

Saturday morning Rosie took Connor with her. So Rabbit and I spend the day out. Not really doing anything just kinda out. We watched movies Saturday night. If you haven’t seen Mad Money it is funny. We ordered it off demand. Sunday we spent cleaning the house we did some spring cleaning in the summer. Rosie brought Connor back around 7pm. I am so excited to, because he actually used the potty this weekend. He was with his cousin Nick and Nick showed him how he went potty. Now the trick is to get him to do it here at home. Rabbit got him to do it once last night. I have tried several times this morning, but he keeps telling me no thanks. I kept telling him okay lets go do what Nick showed you or something along those lines. He tells me no thanks.

Anyway, I am excited cause we only have 3 more days and we are out of here. I can’t wait to get away. I will have my cell, but there is not good service out there so if you need me you will have to leave a message and I will call back when I get into town. I cam excited to see my sister and nephews. It has been a while. I am excited about being out in the middle of nowhere. Having no one all in your business, no drama, no nothing. Just me and the family having a good time. We don’t really get out of SC very often. Most of our vacations are taken around here somewhere.

Anyway, just wanted to give you the weekend round up.. I wont have internet access down there unless I am using my mobile.  So you might not here from me for a while or if you do they will be short and sweet.

It went good.

So, Lexie saw her granddaddy today for the first time since she was a baby. She was so excited. My mom said that she talked his ear off. He talked with her, gave her pictures of her father. They talked about her daddy. They talked about how much she looks like her daddy. They talked about her older brother. Lexie wanted to have a picnic in his yard. Mom told her that they weren’t prepared for that, but maybe next time. He told her that she could come back anytime she wanted to and maybe they could cook out steaks one day. Lexie told him he could babysit her when my mom has to go somewhere. He told her he would love to do that. So, it really well. I am so glad that it did. I am glad that Lexie is going to get the chance to meet that side of her family. She even got to meet her great grandmother. She lives across the way from him. She fixed Lexie a little bag of goodies and gave her pictures of her daddy. They talked about Lexie’s schooling and how she was doing there. My mom gave him a bunch of pictures she has been keeping for him. So he has an updated picture of her. He only had one that I had taken and sent to him when she was a toddler. Mom said he had it in a frame sitting on the table. Lexie played with her daddy’s dog. He brought the dog back with him when Cliff passed away. He told my mom that he did try to contact us when Cliff passed, but he didn’t know how to find me. He even went to the court where mine and Cliff’s divorce was finalized and try to get my info, but they wouldn’t give it to him. Which is understandable.

Lexie and her granddaddy where both really excited. He gave her a big hug and told her he loved her before they left. I know that had to make her feel so good. It is great that he wants to be a part of her life. I guess I was just worried that they wouldn’t want to be part of her life and that is what made me hesitate to contact them. I love the fact that he told her she could come back anytime she wanted and that he was making plans to do things with her and be involved in her life. I am so thankful for that.

He told my mom that Cliff’s sister had custody of Lexie’s older brother and that they usually come down during the summer sometimes and when they do he would love to get Donte and Lexie together. I think that would be great. Lexie will finally get to meet her older brother.

I am so excited for her.

It is funny that her granddaddy that has not seen her in years wants more to do with her than her grandfather that could have spent as much time as he wanted with her. Kinda sad.

Anyway, but this blog isn’t about that. It is about Lexie and her meeting the other side of her family. I am just so thrilled for her. I was worried she would be shy and not talk, but my mom said she talked his ear off. LOL..

Anyway, I am going to go..

Morning Ramble

So I have the question of the day..

If you knew that you were sick or going to die would you tell anyone?

My answer is no. I wouldn’t tell anyone. I would continue to live my life and enjoy that last moments I have with my family and friends with out any of those pity feelings. Why would I want my last moments filled with pity or sadness? I would move out to the middle of nowhere and enjoy the peace and quite of the country. Spending my last days with my kids and family.

So what would you do?
