    Monday mornings...

    I hate Mondays. And I think Mondays hate me. They're not all bad, but once in a while, they gang up on me.
     
    How was your weekend? Mine was great. I went shopping, found the perfect jeans and took naps. (While you're out and about, do you find things are getting more expensive?)
     
    We went over to my daughter's Saturday night and our son-in-law cooked supper.
     
    On Sunday, we went to the Triple Cross Cowboy Church.
     
    Life is GOOD.
     
    My other son-in-law is aboard a ship in the Persian Gulf. He should be home in June. YEA!! My daughter is working on getting their Texas licenses. She's a dentist and he's an anesth.....um, doctor.
     
    Hubby is finally working in the area this week! He'll be home every night. Yea!! We celebrate our 36th next month. Mmmm....he's a hottie. You gotta be old to understand this.
     
    Both of the grandkids in Florida, Jack and Kate, are sick. Hope my daughter doesn't get sick, too.
     
    The Princess has the week off....spring break. Just you wait, Mom. She may be in the first grade now...but soon she'll be going to Padre Island.
     
    You went to South Padre. Remember? You tried to get your navel pierced and it got infected (and you had to take the thing out?).
     
    Yeah...just you wait.
     
    Annah's probably sleeping. She turned 4 months old on Saturday. What a dimpley, beautiful gift.
     
    Let's see....Lola is doing great. She's big. She weighs 91 pounds. I don't have to bend over to pet her. On Saturday, she found a kitten in the backyard and she pinned it down with her paw to sniff it. Then she let it go. Gotta tell ya, I was yelling and screaming at her 'cause I was afraid for that baby. Lola was just curious, that's all. I don't know how it got into my back yard, but I'll bet it won't be back.
     
    My neighbor...Louise...she is the sweetest lady. She's a widow, in her 70's and she is as hot as a firecracker. A couple of months ago, she shot an armadillo in her back yard at about 2:00 in the morning. With a shotgun. Hubby and I woke up with a WTH? look on our faces.  Don't know how the varmint fared.
     
    My trash service screwed up and didn't pick it up on the day they were supposed to. Something, maybe a raccoon, got into the trash and strewed it all about. And Miss Louise came over when I was gone and picked it all up! What a sweetheart. 
     
    The cats are good. I'm going to have to get a couple 'fixed'. Two of them. Rex and Tucker. They've never been out of the house before, so this should be fun. Can you say 'one big, spitting hissy fit'?
     
    Zazu is doing OK. She's about 17. She's old enough to have earned the right to sleep wherever she wants to. Most days she can be found on the stove. I'm going to have to get her a heating pad.
     
    Hubby's mom wants him to rewire her house. One of his talents is being an electrician. I guess we'll do that next month. And yes, I say "we". I help. I don't like it, but I feed the wire and pull the wire and am a general 'gopher'. I have no clue as to what I'm doing. It should be a 5 or 6 day job. Hard work, but we get to see family and friends while we're there.
     
    Did I ever tell you that my niece (on my side of the family) works for Hubby's brother? Small world.
     
    OK, enough about 'them'. Now it's all about ME. I joined Facebook and am still trying to figure it all out. THEN, I went and joined TWITTER! I am so technology challenged! I guess I feel that need to jump in while it still fairly new, so that I can figure it out. My brain hurts.
     
    Well, that's the update for now. If you want to join me on Facebook or Twitter, look for Dana/Suzie Marchman or TexasMammie.
     
    And yes, my real name is Dana. My nickname is Suzie.
     
    xoxo

    Sounds like a lot of good news, DD. Your Fla. daughter is moving back to TX? Close by, I hope. And I pray that the little ones are all better.

    hugs from here to there, gail

    Howdy...

    I think we should all write a book. Even if nobody reads it our family members will have a keepsake.

    Good to read your son-in-law will be home soon. Salute!

    Nope never been to South Padre. But then I never pierced my navel either. But my daughters navels became infected when they did so…D’oh!!!

    91 lbs!!! That means big poop droppings!!!

    You know…I cannot figure out the fascination with Facebook either…Sure we can find a few classmates. But what’s with the silly hugs, pokes, whatever else and the notes like, “I’m eating at Taco Bell right now.”

    Have a nice weekend and you all be well…Greg

    Everyone seems to be Twittering but me. I guess I am going to have to figure that out, huh! Oh, and I don't have a Yahoo account, so the Bev must be your friend inviting you. If I had one I'd invite you though! I hope you have had a great week. I can't tell if what I have is a cold or my allergies either, but I am watching the situation closely. I can't afford to get pneumonia again!

    Take care Dana! Hugs!

    What a delightful entry!!! Thank you for pulling back that curtain and showing a bit of your life...I hate Mondays too - only thing good about Mondays is - I DON'T cook on Mondays - well usually anyhow. I'm on facebook also - don't care for it as much - in fact I don't post - just keep up with the people that post on my page mostly!!
    Take care! God bless
