A Day With Debbie

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Whit has been here most of the last week or so during the day while Paul has spent time in the hospital in Ft.Worth...

Yesterday, I was sitting here on the computer and he was playing, he came and patted my arm and said"Miss Debbie, you are my sweetie"

Get well Paul!

we have had a little problem the last week with a few mice on our patio, I guess due to the road being paved behind us and the big empty field...anyways, I bought some sticky pads to get them yesterday, we put them out around 6 and by 8 we had caught 2---I went back out around 9:45 and was turning around and lo and behold standing right behind me was a skunk---I don't know who ran faster, me to the house or the skunk!
This morning my skunk friend took care of the mouse pads and mice for me, none are no where to be found!
Guess there is a skunk running around Hewitt with 2 sticky pads glued to his fur!

I can't wait for the day when I get to heaven and you are there to greet me...You are missed so much here on earth!
4 years ago you left us....my sweet daddy

Happy Birthday to you today!
40 years and holding!

Madalyn and Loraly rode with us to Sonic tonight to pick up burgers for dinner---
"I love you Mom"
"I love you G-daddy"
"I love you Madalyn"
Over and over again....there will definatley be lots more trips to Sonic!

Mike had his neuro appt this morning, he has a pinched nerve...he is on a high dose steroid treatment for a week...hopefully, this will do the trick...he goes back to the dr in a 2 weeks, he will get reasessed. If he is still having some problems then they may do a traction rehab from home for a few weeks..then, if still no progress it will be either an epidural steroid injection...worse case scenerio, surgery.
I felt so much better knowing I would not have to see my husband wheeled into surgery...I pray humbly for the steroids to do the best they can for Mike and make him more comfortable, he has been in pain way too long.He is amazing!
No more chiropracters...EVER!

Happy Anniversary to my beloved husband of 32 years...I love you so much.

to my most cherished friend, Dale on her birthday...we travel together, cry together, laugh together, tell secrets...another few weeks and a cruise together for 7 days! Happy Birthday, thank you for being there for me!

Saturday we got to take Kaitlyn to the Pumpkin Patch in Flower Mound for Nashs birthday party---we had cake, hot dogs, she got to do a hay maze, we all did the hay ride and the kids got to get out and pick their own pumpkins...afterwards we met with Mikes family at Red Lobster and had dinner, was a good day!

To my sweet husband---the one I have loved for over 30yrs, he takes care of me, comforts me, loves me, provides for me, always there whenever I need him, one who loves God with all his heart and all he has ever wanted for his family is to reach for heaven.
Mike has always been a great father, taught our children so much about life, never missed a game, cried over our children about good or bad and is so proud of each and every accomplishment they have achieved.
Then the Grand-daughters came along, what pride and joy he has for each one, I saw a differant twinkle in his eyes as each one of these girls was born!
He is a hard worker, takes pride in his job and does it with determination every day. He has came such a long way in his career.Here is to 52 more years together!!!

Kaitlyn spent the weekend with us, so Madalyn decided to stay with us on Saturday night so she could play with her cousin...we took the girls to Kiddie Land to play a round of putt-putt...Madalyn made a hole in one, Kaitlyn made a hole in one, and grandma/ma made 3 holes in one...G-daddy was having an off night partly because of his back hurting so we will have a rematch soon! After putt-putt we all rode the train....then to Sonic for cheese sticks and slushes, the girls played on the playground for an hour....
Sunday morning, we got up and grandma/ma made everyone pancakes...
Kaitlyn tackled the fishy game on my computer and finally conquered it!

for honoring me on my 50th birthday, the pretty flower bouqets meant so much to me, thank you Rhonda and Laurie.

Words can not describe how proud I am of my memory book and all the sweet things that were wrote to me!
Something I will forever cherish!

One special moment after my party, the kiddos were playing with my balloons, they decided to take them outside and let them go to heaven to papa---Madalyn kissed one and said it was a special balloon with a kiss to papa...
I admit one of the hardest things about my birthday since daddy passed away is the fact that I miss his call and saying, "Happy Birthday Babe"

Mike has had some major back problems for over a week now, he has been seeing a chiropracter, I don't know if that is the right answer or not, he did got to a medical dr last week (she gave him some pain meds that have helped) and also had a MRI that the chiropracter suggested that he do, we have an appoinment next week to see our regular dr... hopefully we will get some answers then...he has been in a lot of pain and taking lots of pain medications...

I want to thank my sweet children for all the work they did for my birthday, to Amber for my beautiful pink roses, I always look forward to my flowers every year, you always send them...
To Cam, I love the picture, it will go on my formal dining wall...
To Lindsay for organizing the party, for all your thoughts and personal touches and the red roses, you made it such a special day!
Each of you played a special part in my party, I don't know how to thank each of you but to say I am so very proud of each of you and I love each of you guys so much!

This day stated better than the day before, another story, not to ever be mentioned ever again....Mike went to go get a hair cut, I went to get my nails done---
Lindsay askd us to watch the girls today so her and Mark could go to look for a new car---I knew something was going on, just haven't figured it all out---should of cleaned up! We took the girls to CEC, played for a long time...walked over to Burlington, not to mention the storm that coem thru!
Loraly was so tired, she was fussy and fell asleep in the car---Mike didn't know what else to do after driving around forever, so he came on home hoping no one would be here---wrong! Why was Bubbas car in our drive and someone elses van in the garage? Mike went in, told me to stay in the car---well, being me, I went and got the mail, saw all the signs in the yard---
We went to Lindsays, I begged Mike to at least get me a change of clothes, something a little nicer to wear since I was in CEC mode---also some make up and curling iron---Lindsay so graciously went to the house and picked up that stuff for me---Amber and Kaitlyn were at Lindsays too...so after I got my stuff and disppoined some special little girls, Mike went home to clean up and left me there to clean up also--he came back to pick me up, a little date he said, off to Magic China to be surprised by my family and friends...it was so nice, I was so happy to see everyone---after dinner we came back to our house, all beautifully decorated in red/black, a gorgeous 2 tier cake, flowers, lots of red/black balloons and of course some silly banners...we all got to visit, sing happy birthday and have cake! Such a special 50th birthday, couldn't of been any better! Perfect!
So, thank you to my wonderful husband,Mike and my 3 precious children---what beautiful daughters I have, Amber & Lindsay, my handsome son, Cameron, to the cutest, best granddaughters in the world,not to mention the prettiest--- Kaitlyn, Madalyn, & Loraly, so sorry that your Grandma,Ma, and Mom was not surprised, I promise next time I will be! I love my charm bracelet... you couldn't of gotten me a better gift, I will cherish it always.
To my sweet mama for coming all that way and back home in a day and for Rhonda, Tiffany, and Cody to bring her to make my day special, to Dale and Doug for being the bestest friends in all the world, I know I can always count on you two to be here for us...Doug, I loved all the cards, letters, poop and phone calls, it would of not been the same with out your touch!
To papa and Myrtle, Sandi, Wes(thanks for fixing the ac), Jenn, Billy, Noah,Nike,Nash, Glen, Susan, Natalie, Leigh, Terrill, Paul, Whit, sorry Jack that you did not get to stay but I know that the other b-day parties and sleepovers were much more important, but I did see you for a few minutes...to Marsha, I forgive you, you will always be my friend, Karen & Kristen and Shannon for dropping by, it was so good to see you! And to my friends at Magic China for being such great hostesses! I sure hope I did not forget anyone!
So, it was not so bad turning 50 after all, I am loved beyond measure!

I am 50 yrs old today---

After 2 wonderful Grandparent celebrations this last week we celebrated Whits 4th birthday on Saturday at Kiddie land...then to Mikes company picnic where we feasted on hot-dogs, burgers, chips and lots of water/cokes! It was very hot!
Then Saturday night we went for chinese at our favorite restaurant then to the Floyd Casey Stadium for Balloon Glow 06, was so pretty and the music was inspiring! And I loved it cause Loraly was my girl tonight, we went for a walk, just the 2 of us and she wanted me to hold her!
Madalyn fell asleep and when they got her home she was running a fever, hope she is better by tomorrow!
Amber called, Cooper got his mouth tangled in a fish hook, Kaitlyn was all upset but they got him all fixed up....
I enjoyed my family today, just all being together at differant times some today but we all saw each other and enjoyed time together, that is what it is all about.
