Meet the birds

Toy, double-yellow-head amazon, Gussie Jo, blue & gold macaw and Peppy, blue-front amazon. Toy is momma's baby, Gussie Jo is momma's baby love.

Toy Loves to talk and has a large vocabulary, will argue with you about anything. Peppy, you never know what he is going to be stuck on each day, usually it "hello" or "whacha doin" or singing "Old Macdonald". Gussie Jo only knows one word that he says on a daily basis and that is "Momma", his Auntie Vicky heard what she thought was "hello". So I wonder if he will ever really talk like the 2 amazons. If he doesn't that's ok, I love him anyway. And, yes, Auntie Vicky, he is still just a baby, he will learn.
Well I just wanted to post these pictures for some people that have started reading my blog.

This N That

Ok so mom started her chemo on Thursday, she felt real good afterwards. Then I guess it suddenly hit her on Saturday night. She is sick. Was really hoping she would make it through it without getting sick.
Spent the afternoon Saturday on the lawnmower. Let me tell you, it pays to have a cell phone in your pocket when you are mowing. It comes in real handy when you see snakes and you don't want to get off the mower so you can't figure out what to do, just send Steve a text and let him come with the shovel after you have already chased down the snake and cut it up with the mower blade. That was the excitement of the weekend.
T'Pel learned what a switch was and what it is used for. Now she sees it and runs the other way. Tuvok sees it and runs down the street like he is running away from home. It's a never ending battle with the two of them.

No Smoking

Well I have gone Non-Smoking! I am hoping it gets better before it makes me go insane! Gum is my new best friend. When we found out mom has cancer, Tam looked at me and said "you need to quit smoking" I told her I would when we get through this with mom. Well, I changed my mind and said why use that as an excuse, it is time. Now I am wondering what I have done to myself!!


Tuvok and T'Pel got new clothes from Auntie Vicky, well of course T'Pel loves her new dress, but Tuvok, he isn't too sure about his new ties. I have to tell him to let me get a picture then he can take it off, that is the only way he will sit still long enough for everybody else to see what he looks like in the tie.

Please don't tell me!

Please don't tell me you know how I feel, unless you have lost your child too. Please don't tell me my broken heart will heal, because that is just not true. Please don't tell me my son is in a better place, though it is true, I want him here with me. Don't tell me someday I'll hear his voice, see his face, beyond today I cannot see. Don't tell me it is time to move on, because I cannot. Don't tell me to face the fact he is gone, because denial is something I can't stop. Don't tell me to be thankful for the time I had, because I wanted more. Don't tell me when I am my old self you will be glad, I'll never be as I was before. What you can tell me is you will be here for me. That you will listen when I talk of my child. You can share with me my precious memories. You can even cry with me for a while. And please don't hesitate to say his name because it's something I long to hear every day. Friends please realize that I can never be the same, but if you stand by me, you may like the new person I become someday!!
This was sent to me, and I love it. It sums everything up as to what has been going on. It is words I want to say to so many people!! 77 days today, and seems like it was just yesterday!
