Oh my stars....The year is almost over!
Posted Sunday, October 23, at 4:52 PM Oh my stars......3 days and counting. Brantley will get back in the United States sometime early this week. Scott and I are driving to Leesville, LA to greet Brantley when his unit gets back to base. Harry Jacobs, his son is LT David Jacobs and Ellis Sikes, her son is 1LT Stephen Sikes are headed that way also!! We are so excited!!! It has been a long year. ...
Oh my stars.......30 days from today, Brantley and his fellow soldiers will start their trip from Afghanistan to Fort Polk!!!! Whoopiieeeeeeeee, Praise the Lord! I am so proud of him. I am so proud of the men that are with him. Jennifer Benca has been so wonderful about keeping all of us in touch with each other and letting us know what is going on and what is needed. ...
Oh my stars..................The Lottery Updated with Names Oh my stars..............Have you ever read Shirley Jackson's short story, The Lottery? I felt, this week that I was in the middle of that story. We were having lunch Sunday afternoon at Mom's house and she was saying that she was unable to sleep Saturday night until she heard that 30 Navy Seals were killed in the Chinook helicopter over the weekend. ...
Oh my stars...........................It has been way to long since I have updated this blog....I am so sorry. Life has been a whirlwind since the wedding in March. Brantley came in for the wedding from Afghanistan and I was still disappointed that BK and his family would not be here for our celebration. ...
Oh My Stars..Brantley is home!!!! It is ten days until the wedding, remodeling in the utility room is almost done, business is up and running, well if it will ever stop raining, and Brantley is home!! Life is crazy but great. It would be so wonderful if BK and Chris could be here, but they can't and on Sunday they were involved in a wreck and now their car is not running. ...
Oh my Stars.....The Middle East??????? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my stars......it has been awhile....I think, sometimes if I don't stop and take a moment to reflect on where my son is and what is going on in the Middle East that it really isn't happening and that Brantley is just at Fort Polk. But when I sit down to type out my thoughts on this blog I have to come to terms with them fact that my son is in Afghanistan. ...
I made it through the holidays.... Oh my stars......I have made it through the holidays!!! As many of the local readers know, BK and Christine made it in for the holiday. Ryan Rogers, a reporter with the Clay County Democrat and Piggott Times, ask if he could interview us for the paper. He is always so nice....THANK YOU RYAN FOR ALWAYS REMEMBERING MY WONDERFUL SONS!...
Oh my stars....Cry for help Oh my stars.....It is Christmas time. I have purchased most of my gifts, packaged them up and mailed them to my kids in California and Afghanistan. April mailed the gifts to North Carolina last week for Parker and Trey. It seems strange shipping my gifts instead of hiding them all over the house. ...
Taking care of business....... Oh my stars........I have heard from Brantley several times this week. But it was mainly to take care of business. It seems that DirectTV took $455.71 out of his account because they did not receive the converter boxes in what they deemed "Timely". They did not send him an email, letter or any other kind of notice they were taking out the $455.71 out of his account. ...
I GOT A CALLLL!!!!! Oh My Stars......Yepppiiieee!! Yea!!! Whooppiiee.....Brant just called. He called me, Aunt April, Mom and Brooke and Bella. I have been in Wal-Mart, buying paint, chips, and leggings. I carry my phone everywhere with me...JUST IN CASE!! When I left Wal-Mart, before leaving the parking lot I checked my phone, no messages, no calls and no missed calls. ...
The beginning of our year long journey Oh My Stars......It has been a week since Brantley has left the country. I have heard from him once..he sounded really, really exhausted. He always tells me he is OK and that I should not worry, but honestly what else I am going to do? I do smile thinking back on our time together in Louisiana, that boy, I guess I should be saying that man! If he can fly across the world and fight for peace then I need to start thinking of him as a man. ...
Travel with me this year!! Oh My Stars......It has been awhile since I have updated my blog....NO EXCUSES!!! Starting today, I will be changing the tune of my blog, a little. Over the past several years when someone has asked me for advise on healing your inter-soul, having peace, finding that calming center point in your life (see I did not always have that in my life), I tell them to seek God in their life and journal. ...
Rain, rain go away! Oh my stars.....I can't believe I am going to say this and if I were home in Rector I know that I would not be saying it...Rain, rain go away!! You got it, my whole family decided to go on vacation together at Destin, Florida. In February I found a house on the internet, not just any house I found a six bedrooms, 4 bath house, huge living room, kitchen, dining room. ...
Oh my stars...what excitement in the air! Oh my stars.....Is it Labor Day at Rector already?? Excitement is in the air! You can feel the hustle and bustle happening all around. We are seeing lots of new faces in town, it just has to be because of Labor Day, cause you all know that is about the only time Rector gets those electric waves sweeping though the air. The only problem is Labor Day is September 6 and today is August 4???? What in the world is going on?...
Oh my stars...those yellow and green squares Oh my stars....I am so stinking tired of having little yellow strips fluttering behind me a everywhere I go....I have been dreaming about yellow and green squares that are perforated across the top and the bottom, they talk to me, they go riding around with me and some of them even come to exercise class with me. ...
The Secrets of .....MOM Oh my stars.....My sister and I were talking and laughing the other day, remembering all the "small" things our mother has taught us over the years. You know when we were younger we just thought that she "didn't get it"! BUT...and I do not say that lightly...but now we understand that it was US that "didn't get it"!! Yes, mother is 99% right most of the time!! Mom, how do you like that...YOU WERE and ARE 99% of the time RIGHT!! April and I were saying to each other that if people had had a mother like ours the world would be a much better place to live and everyone would look a lot nicer too!!! Mom has always, and I do mean always given us her opinion on clothing styles, make up selection, and attitude perception. ...
WEIGHT LOSS Oh my stars......as many of you know, I lead, oversee, start, whatever you want to call it, two exercise classes at the Northeast Arkansas Innovative Training Center in Rector (the building were Barber's Grocery Store or where the General Dollar use to be, you know, across from NAPA). ...
