So the end has come!
My daddy is a truck driver and has drove on and off for as long as I can remember. With diesel prices being what they have been my dad stopped driving several months back and opened a mechanic shop across the street from their house which happens to be in our back yard pretty much. Eli (my 8 year old) is especially bonded with his poppy and loves to be out getting dirty and helping him. We live in a really small town and one can only fix so many things before there is nothing left. Long story short dad decided to go back on the road and he left yesterday afternoon. My little man didn't take it so well. Eli stood outside last night and watched daddy leave until he couldn't see his truck anymore. It was so sad! He then started walking towards our house, he had his little head just hanging down and I could tell he was doing his best not to cry but as soon as he saw me that was it my little man lost it. It was so hard to see him like that. I did my best to console him but he wasn't going for it. I told him you know that poppy always come back and through his sniffles told me he knew but he just didn't want him to leave.
My mom called me last night and said that my dad had told her that Eli had said told him that while he was gone that him and Nana was going to piddle in the garage. Dad asked him why they were going to do that. Eli told him that they might just have to fix something. If you know Eli then you know why we find this so incredibly adorable.

Hey Bev...don't know how we lost contact...but I came across your blog tonight and had quite a bit of catching up to do. So sorry to hear about your grandma. I know how that feels...mine died on Sept 18. I still can't believe she's gone.
I hope everything has been going well for you. How's the weight? :o)
Do you still keep up with Kandy?

The weight stinks big time. I found not quite a month ago that my thyroid is messed up which I have started meds for but I am still just exhausted. The Dr. told me until he gets my levels back to where they need to be if I only ate 800 calories a day I still wouldn't be able to lose any weight. I gained about 20 pounds before I realized that something more than just weight gain was going on. This stinks! I feel so incredibly fat and want so badly to get back on track.

I do still talk to Kandy here and there but it's been a while.

Peace, Quiet, Stillness and yet why can't I enjoy it..... It's Sunday morning and I have sent my family off to church is why... I am so suppose to be with them but after the last few day I know that I cannot sit through Sunday School and then morning worship.. My body for one is so sore and stiff it would never make it. I feel like a old lady( no offense to anyone out there but this is for the birds). Secondly I fall asleep at the drop of a hat and I believe that would be quite embarrassing. So I sent my Hubby and boys off this morning without me. I knew I had a great husband but he has really proved himself over the last few days (not that he had to). I had my hysterectomy on Thursday morning and so not to interrupt the boys schedules to much I got up early that morning and went over and had my mom drive me to the hospital. Donnie stayed home so he could get the boys off to school and he got to the hospital in plenty of time before I went back to surgery. He and mom were the f

I'm amazed at the difference. So I finally got a new scale and I have actually lost a total of 17 pounds over the past 6 or 7 weeks. Some have wanted to see the difference and here ya go the top picture was taken in May at Eli's birthday party. The bottom picture was taken 3 days ago at Sea World with the boys. Boy am I glad I lost the weight and started exercising I never would have been able to do what we have done this week without having done that. The river walk, Sea World, The Natural Caverns, & The Wildlife Ranch. It was all really nice I'll post more picture of our adventure later. Love to all. Beverly!

WATER AND CELL PHONES DON'T MIX!! If the title don't say it all. Last year at christmas I got my husband and myself both new motorola razors. I love my phone it's pink and it's the best phone I've ever owned, I live in a small town out away from everything and the reception on it is great, no other phone can live up to that. When I got up to go walking Friday morning I stuck it in my pocket like I always do but when I came home and changed for work I forgot to get it. At lunch I had the boys go pick up the laundry and bring it to me and I dumped the basket in to the machine. Yep you guessed it after I got off work I went in to take the clothes out and there on the bottom of the machine layed my beautiful pink phone dead to the world, the only upside was that my sims card still works so I didn't loose all my info. I went to the cingular store the next day to have it replace and they wanted $300.00 for one just like it. They are insane! My insurance won't cove
