A Day With Debbie

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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDI...
a great sister, sister in law and aunt....

Spring Valley Elementary
Madalyn Michalewicz, grade K

G-daddy and Ma learned new rules for the cafeteria, to raise our right hand when someone talks on the intercom, to sit during lunch, and when we walk back to our class room we have our hands behind us. We met MrsH and Madalyn showed us one of
the Principles and if you are very bad then you have to go see him in his office. Also, there is a Drs off at her school, aka, nurses... we also got to have our picture made with Madalyn on the stage.
Madalyn made us a beautiful card with hearts and a pretty picture of her on it....so precious!
She got to have a treat for lunch, we brought her McDs chicken nuggets w/fries,coke and 2 ketsups!

This will be a day that I remember just as I remembered the day John Kennedy was shot---I was in 1st grade, Mrs Bunns class in Ingram, Tx---I remember all the teachers crying...I remember the picture hanging on my Grandma Sybils living room wall of him and how much she loved him.
On 9-11, I was getting ready to go to visit Kaityln in Kopperl for a grandparents lunch, I was getting ready to leave, saw it all on tv---I never thought that I would ever live to see any of the such happeneing...
All I could think of was holding my little "K" grandaughter just a little tighter that day and telling my children, granddaughters, my husband ,my parents how much I do love them.

Since Madalyn is in week 3 of school she has narrowed down her frineds names, she loves Camryn, thought it was so funny that her bubbas name is Cameron and her girl-frined at school has the same name...And then there is Matts, she loves him, they play well together at school...
Also, we learned that Mrs.Humphrey lives right around the corner from ma and g-daddy!

Today Kaitlyns class is visiting the Planetarium in Arlington--she was so excited last night, I hope her day went well...wonder what she end up wearing?

Katy got herself a new kitten, named it Gracey....
scared her last night, Katy woke up and Gracey was not in bed with her, she looked everywheres for her and she was under Katys bed sleeping.

Madalyn finally has 3 friends at school, for the first week she couldn't remember their names....
Last night Mark & Lindsay had a teachers meeting in her class with her teacher, Mrs.Humphrey. No kids allowed says my teacher, so they came to play with ma....
Also, Mrs.Humphrey and Madalyn share something special together---their birthdays!
Loraly started MDO yesterday at church...Lindsay is teaching there. we both thought that I would have to come pick up Loraly but she proved us so wrong, she loved it!

Madalyn loved her very first day of school at SV and her new teacher Miss Humphrey....she actually did very well, told her mommy,daddy, and Loraly bye----sat at her desk, ate most of her lunch and even took a nap today, told me she colored and played outside and someone threw away her snack...she wore her rock star dress for the first day.
Loraly wanted to go back to school and get Madalyn, she missed her big sis!
Before we know it graduation will be around the corner....

Today Katy started 5th grade, she got to change from one class to another then has athletics where they have to change from school clothes to athletic clothes every morning, so she will wear her athletic clothes to school and change into regular clothes after that class...she seems to like it so far but today is only the first day back, I am sure after homework sets in and having ot get up ealier than 10AM gets to her she will be ready for a break!
I can hardly believe she is in 5th grade, growing up so fast into a beautiful young woman....now to keep her away from the boys!

Madalyn had her big back to school party this afternoon---all her friends came to swim and eat---Megan, Katy,Cortney & Abbey....all the adults sat around and ate sandwiches, chips, cupcakes, and cokes....
Now it is time for Madalyn to go into kindegarten and her big bestest cousin to go in to 5th grade....

Well, Mark & Lindsay are finally home, they are all exhausted but had a great vacation! Lots of stories to tell, Loraly loved the Rosie Coaster, Madalyn now likes Donald Duck...
The girls wanted to go eat chinese and see Sara....we ate mexican at ELFenix then back home to Waco, a big storm hit so driving was hairy but we made it----went and had chinese last night...we love the owners there, they always give us so much extra---not to mention how good and fresh the food is there! And also how Madalyn & Loraly love to drink the egg drop soup with a straw...
Allison & Cody are at Ambers, I go to pick them up at 2 along with Katy...no big plans today, maybe a snow cone...tomorrow we may bowl again as the kids love to do that...swim at Lindsays on Thurs....Mike is suppose to be off Fri, we have yardwork to do and get our new front door painted....Sat, Cam got an apartment so we will help him move then afterwards Madalyn is having a back to school swim party, so we will be there....Sunday will be meeting day to get Allison & Cody back home....

Mark & Lindsay and the girls leave in the morning early for Disney for a week---I know they are so excited tonight but I can't wait for them to be back home, I know how bad I will miss them! have fun, hurry home tho!
Kaitlyn spent most of hte week with mama & I, we shopped, ate out, she got to swim some and go to the movie---tomorrow she gets to go to work at the ER with her mommy, can't wait to here the stories....
Took mama halfway tonight, I hope she had a good time, I cooked all her favs for her, took her fo rlunch, shopped, had pics made with her great-granddaughters....took her to get her nails done and toes clipped then to the dr to get her ears cleaned, took 3 hrs...but she can hear now....she took lots of leftovers home....
