A Sad Start To November :-(

Posted by: cheryl

The month started out ok I guess.  I have a cousin who has been sick for the past month.  She is really my Dad's cousin, but we have always been close.  Even tho she is 10-12 years older than I am  she had a son born a week after our son was born.  Those two boys were always close.  Her son was down here so much he started calling me "mom"  which was fine by me.  Anyways her sickness was something that should have been taken care of, but for some reason things didn't go right and she progressively got worse until she passed away this morning.  I am going to miss her and I know her family certainly will.  I am still trying to understand all this and sometimes I just have to shake my head and wonder why this had to happen.
Our family has lost it's share of members the past few months and it is time for a break!!!!
I have kept busy watching those little boys.  They are so fun and funny to watch.  They have the sitting up covered and are now working on crawling.  Braedy will put his hands out in front and pull himself forward.  he knows how to get around, haha.....
They spent the night last nite and before I took them home today my mom came down to spend some time with them.  She and I were on the couch and I was holding Calvin, I lifted him up and just as I started to look up at him "stuff" proceeded to come out his mouth and got in my hair, my face, my clothes and worst of all my mouth, YUKK!!!!!!  I was laughing and telling my mom that I could taste "spit-up" and told her that was about the worst I had ever gotten "puked" on, hahaha!!! I sure hope it doesn't get any worse ;-)
Calvin just stared at me, wondering why I was laughing and saying ewww.....it was funny and i am glad I can just laugh about it....
I need to get to bed to get some rest.  Have a busy day tomorrow.  The boys woke up early this morning because they don't comprehend the "time change".  I told the daughter it would take them a little while to adjust.  Heck, it's gonna take me a while to adjust.....
Ritzy and the son are in there working on something and I am staying out of the way, haha.....they might find something for me to do if I show up......
Well, I have to get up early in the morning (at least it is daylight now) so for now...............Ritzywife out!!
