Good Morning to Everyone.
Always remember 9/11.
Aurora was taken to the ER last night, very late night for them. She had a swollen eye and it was getting worse. So my daughter had to come home from school to take her. Her hubby is there on Wednesdays when she goes to school. I don't know what it is yet, they have not let me know. I was thinking it was really late by the time they got home. Will let everyone know when I know,

So feeling better. See how it goes tomorrow..LOL

I am so blessed I have been daily emails from my sailor whom I thought wouldn't contact me guess he has lots of time to think and miss me. In today's email he told me he is up for the Blue Jacket award I couldn't be more proud of him!!!!!
on the other hand one week from Saturday my Sailor daughter Hannah will be about an hour away for A school and i can't wait to see her, and have some quality mommy daughter time. It's unbelieveable how much i Miss her. she has been living on her own for the past 2 years but this is worse.

Good Morning to Everyone.
Blondie, she looks so happy. Wow.
Emmie, Congrat's on have a SIL soon and a being a grandparent. It is wonderful to be a grandparent. You get to send pictures to your hubby when he is away for a week long trip with the guys on what he is missing. This picture is one of the pictures I sent him. While I was babysitting. Aurora was fussy all day until I got there and She went right to sleep. LOL.

Anna, I am so sorry her flight was canceled! Praying she gets to do it soon, and continued good health! She will get her wings soon! Please tell her hi for me, and I am praying for her.
Emmie, Comgrats on the upcoming wedding and Baby! How exciting! Happy you will get to be there for the wedding! When my girl married, she didn't say anything till after it was done. Not a happy story there at all. Praying it is much better for your girl. I live close to. San Diego, so please if ever you need anything or she does, let me know!
spyder I know you are having fun! Give our girl a hug for me!
So I went into work and did my job, told her again what was hers, and that I was not going to do it for her! She actually worked today..LOL. ANd when my time was up, I said ok, time to go home. Bye! And she was in the middle of a mess with the ending money....if she would let us do our job and not rush to close out and have to count our boxes, she wouldn't have the problem. Told her that as I was walking out the door. Her problem not mine! Gee it felt very good to do that too..LOL
