Merry Christmas All

Merry Christmas you all. It been a whirlwind two days. First Birthday and Santa Claus and Family Christmas and food and food and food. Brooke's Midnight says Merry Christmas. The birthday boy was worn out by cake time. He didn't like cake on his face. The paper was more fun than the toys. Their house now looks like Toys R Us. He got at least 4 ride on toys and a basket ball goal that he loves. It lights up when he makes a goal. So he stands there and puts the ball in the goal. He loves balls and...

One Year Old Christmas

Aunt Brooke made a practice smash cake for birthday pictures. Jax wasn't too sure of what he was supposed to do so Daddy helped him some. Blake said they were all covered in cake by the time all the pictures were taken. Can't wait for his birthday cake on Thursday. I wonder if I should have 2 cakes for Rick. lol His birthday is 12/24 and we are celebrating at his Mom's Christmas day and at Blake's Christmas night. Sign in to see full entry.

Getting Ready for Christmas

Jax is loving the lights. Yes, all those boxes are his and that is just the half of it. Christmas morning is going to be like Toys R Us. Of course he will be having a birthday party Christmas night to add to his collection. He is standing alone now for a few seconds at a time. Then he forgets he isn't holding on and sits down. Blake is off this next week so I bet Jax will be walking by Christmas with Daddy helping him practice this week. He jabbers all the time now and gets so animated and... Sign in to see full entry.

New Pics

Has to be my all time favorite. He is such a Daddy's boy. Jax is crawling all over the house now. He is faster then greased lightening. He is definitely learning to be bilingual if now trilingual. He will speak English, French and Swahili. He is learning so much now. He waved bye to his Daddy this week and is saying bye bye. It is hard to believe that he will be a year old in a couple of weeks. Rick had to have a colonoscopy today and we were at the hospital all day long. He checked in at nine...

The Woodruff Smile

Looking at the bottom pic on the right is the smile and pose my Dad always gave when he had his picture took. Jaxon has been really growing so fast. I got him some baby walking shoes to help give him more support but Blake thinks they are old timey. He can't grasp the concept of Jax needing stability in his shoes to walk.

I had to write a poem pretending I am a cat on Allpoetry

My Cold Cold Nose by skye01 One of the joys of my day is waking my mistress with a cold nose to her nose. Oh the delight of the scream I hear and the knowledge that I am faster than the hand. I look at her with my great big eyes and begin at her feet rubbing and purring knowing when I reach her hand and she pets my belly, I will grab with all fours and bite and kick with my back feet to show my love of inflicting pain and practice my hunting skills. I never tire of this morning ritual. the... Sign in to see full entry.

TN Amendent One YES or NO

I just wrote a comment on why one should vote No to 1 on a vote yes post someone sent me. It would not post. So let me restate my position and why. They voted on this amendment in Texas and all the Women's Health clinics had to shut down until the supreme court stepped in and stopped the shutting down of clinics. Let me tell you what will happen. I worked in the days before Roe v Wade. There will be an increase in young woman mostly teenagers who will seek unclean, filthy, coathanger back......

A Rough 24 Hours

It has been a very rough 24 hours. My B/P has bounced all over the place. Yesterday it was 80/70 (no Meds) and every time I tried to get up, I couldn't. It came up to 128/78 by nightfall so I didn't take my B/P medication. By 3 am it was 190/111 and I was throwing up. I finally got settled down by 5am and Richard got up and my B/P was down some. I was supposed to go do a TNCare Appeal today but canceled until Sunday. I have double my doses of B/P meds today and it has finally settled to 150/89.... Sign in to see full entry.

Jax Grows

Jax is growing so fast. He has started to crawl. Well, walking on hands and feet. He has a walker now. He is finally learning to walk forward. LOL However, I can't sit him down when I babysit. Blake called the other day and ask if I had put him down to play in his play area in the floor. I told him: "Yes, and as soon as he quit turning blue, I picked him up again. Jax thinks that I have to hold him all the time. As soon as I get there, he eats curls up on my lap and goes to sleep for the next... Sign in to see full entry.

One Kidney Stone Two Kidney Stones

Rick has two kidney stones. One on each side. We had to take him to ER early Monday morning. The pain just wouldn't let up. When he told the Dr that the pain had moved from side to side, the Dr. said well it can't be a kidney stone. He sent Rick for a CT scan and when the results came back the Dr. came back in and said well it can be a kidney stone if you have one on each side. They are small but he hasn't passed all of them yet, just a few granules. He has finally taken some time off from work... Sign in to see full entry.

Busy Month

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM It has been not only busy but stressful. In a word: Cockroaches!!!!!! Left by the former renters. We saw none when we cleaned but when the renters moved in the roaches came out to dance. After spraying 5 cans of bug spray, six cans of fog and finally Terminix, I have made progess. Terminix said it was a minor infestation so things are looking better. Also the dryer tore up and we had to buy a new one. However, I have had an increase in Fibro Flare and another sore...
