We Laid Her To Rest Today

We laid her to rest today.
And it was beautiful.
We laid her to rest today.
And I know she felt the love.
We laid her to rest today.
And I know she was smiling.
We laid her to rest today.
And I know she was happy.
We laid her to rest today.
And I know she was there.
We laid her to rest today.
And she heard every word.
We laid her to rest today.
And everyone will miss her
We laid her to rest today.
And we know she is free.
We laid her to rest today.
And they are together again.
We laid her to rest today.

I probably talked too much.

Her casket was beautiful. She had angels on the corners

Being taken to her final resting place beside my daddy

With my brother and sisters

And with the spouses

I know no one as lucky as me when these babies came into
my life

I love this guy to the moon and back

Her service was absolutely beautiful. I'm sure she was smiling as she heard the words that were spoken and the beautiful music. It was everything she deserved.

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow. I was all right with that. I didn't really care. But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50. When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling. How could I have a 30-year-old daughter?? I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter. I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan. I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out. I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this. So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time. I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

Adios, Au Revoir, Goodbye....

So, tonight is my last night on the graveyard shift. It's been fun the days I've worked. I have to say, I really enjoy these up-all-nighters immensely. They are on the complete opposite spectrum of the "normal" people. Here are some final notes on my time here: Marla, Corey, Cheryl, Betsy, Nicole, Doug, Cortney, Angie, Natalie, Nathan, Amber, Jessica, Cliff, Leslie: STOP BEING SO DANG QUIET!!! I am not used to hearing NOTHING!!! I am used to people calling me constantly, I am used to having things to do, I am used to not sitting around and doing nothing!!! I have done nothing for an entire month - and my BUTT HURTS!!! My butt hurts from sitting in this chair and staring at the computer for TWELVE HOURS CONSTANTLY!! However, on the up side - I have completely loved being with you this month!! Watching Nicole's face in lineup when Diane is there is priceless. Nathan's litte quips and comments are hilarious. Cortney and his "touche" comment
