A Day With Debbie

Halloween was a fun night, lots of Trick or Treaters, the Saxons brought the boys by, SpiderMan, Jeff Gordon, and a little Train Conductor---then along came Mark & Lindsay with the girls, a beautiful Rock Star with pink hair and my little Princess...
We are helping Cam move to Greenville tomorrow, he got a new job, a new start, I hope this is the best thing for him, he needs a break and a new beginning...his old company was not very nice, he gave a 2 week notice and they ask him to go ahead and leave...
I took the girls back to McDs to eat/play again today, it wore Loraly out, she slept for 2 hrs this afternoon.

Mike & I went to Amber/Rogers/Kaitlyn for dinner on Sat night, we really had a good relaxed evening with them...Kaitlyn said she was so glad we got to come to her house...we don't do it enough!
Church Sunday, home to eat a big breakfast, watch race and some football...
Nice week-end

Yesterday, I made 3 cakes for Kaitlyn to take to school for her Fall Festival...was fun tho, I like doing things like that for my guys...
Today was Fitness Awareness at Mikes company---we had to give blood and as usual, they could not find a vein in me, took 3 tries!
Paul came to play with Madalyn today, I took them to the park to play after Loralys nap, then to DQ for an ice cream cone, was a beautiful day, we had lots of fun!
Amber came over after work to show me her NEW truck, a TrailBlazer, was very pretty, she is proud of her first brand NEW vehicle and she deserves it too!

Today Madalyns friend, Abbey came ot play--I took them to McDs to eat and they played there for awhile also. Loraly fell asleep on the way home and slept for 2 hrs, she needed the rest since she has been sick the last week.
Tony, Lauries ex-boyfriend, son passed away on Friday from cancer, was buried today, I hope Tony did okay, he was in my thoughts today.
Talked with John for a minute this morning, he is home from the hospital, said he was weak...I know Jewell is tired too!

Cam got to go toTexas Motor Speedway to the Team Texas driving school today, Mikes family gave him the package for graduation....he had a good time driving the race car then doing the drive along with the professional race driver...
I rode the race car limousine,60mph....
A good day!

Just hanging around here today---girls both seem to be coming down with colds, they have dry coughs and some sniffles....
Whit is here playing, Paul is on his first round of 3 days of chemo today.

I took Paul, Madalyn, & Loraly to play this afternoon at Kidz Zone, they all had a good time...afterwards, we drove thru and got snow cones, yummy!
Madalyn went to dance, Leigh got here around 3:45 to pick up Paul, Loraly wanted to watch "Dora" so bad, but it was not on...maybe tomorrow.

On Monday, Madalyn & Loraly & I went to Baylor to pick up Whit, Terrill was in a meeting and Leigh was in Ft.Worth with Paul doing his last radiation treatment... we were right across the street from the Bear pit, the kids loved seeing the bear. It was a beautiful day. After that we met Abbies mom(Madalyns new friend) at McDs---was fun, I enjoyed chatting with Melissa while the kids played.
I went over to Jewells late yesterday and took her some chicken spaghetti for lunch today, hope she enjoys it and John gets well soon, right now, he is in Dallas at Zale Lipsey with some problems stemming from his cancer.

This afternoon when the girls were leaving, Lindsay always carries Loraly, I carry Madalyn. A almost daily ritual. Well, as I was carrying Madalyn out, Loraly got down. ran back to me and hugged my leg, was such a sweet moment for me! A kodak moment, a moment I will not forget!

Last night I was talking to Amber, she was telling me that Kaitlyns birth-father had not sent child support in 3 weeks---we have not heard anything from him in almost 3 yrs other than the child support. Come to find out, he was not working here in Waco anymore, was back in reserves in Ft.Worth---planning on re-enlisting. Amber asked if he had thought anymore about relinquishing his parental rights---he responded by saying 'Just send me the papers and I will get them signed"
SO sad, he is missing out on a beautiful little girls life, what joy she brings everyone around her!
And then the hurt he has caused this family, court appearances, making Kaitlyn go with him all the while she cried and begged us to not make her go...our wondering and worrying about her the week-ends she was with him.
I wish we could contact the Judge and let him see how this has turned out, he did not care about her life then, wonder what he would think now?
And then above all else, the Judge told us that we had to be hospitable to him when he was at our home? Go Figure...wonder what the Judge would do if it were his daughter and grand-daughter?

On Thursday for lunch, I took Madalyn and Loraly to McDs...while there a little girl named Callie came to eat lunch along with her Grandmother. Well, the 3 girls took a liking to each other and played so hard! Callie lives in Arlington but spends 3 days in Robinson with her Grandmother. What fun the girls had! We stayed there for 2 hours playing!

we went to the HOT Fair last night, just on a whim...was really fun tho. We watched a karioke show that was actually good, then on to see the hypmotist, so funny! After walking thru the animal exhibit we went to see Jerry Jeff Walker in concert, he sang Redneck Mama then Mr Bo Jangles, the other songs after that, I did not recognize. We did not get home till almost 11:30--so I am running low today. Was a fun night!

thought I would give this blog thing a trial, write my feelings and what happens every day here. Its afternoon, Lindsay is home sick with a sinus infection, Loraly is with her, Madalyn is here playing at ma's house. I watched Whit today, Paul is doing radiation this week, he came over and played with Madalyn yesterday, they had lots of fun together!
I got a case of the blahs today, don't know why, well, maybe I do---wondering about Cams dilema with Alumed and then this is the week daddy died 3 yrs ago, on the 15th,just a hard day to get thru.
Mike & I may just get in the car on Saturday and GO, no plans anywhere, just go...we need the time together. Our 31 anniversary was yesterday, we celebrated by going to eat at On The Border.Didn't buy gifts, as just got this new house and new furniture and my new computer,enough buying for awhile!
