SOS........ Need Sleep

It has been rainning all day since late Friday. We went to Sister Clay's viewing and it started pouring down rain. I mean pouring down rain. We got wet! I was suppose to walk in a heart walk today, but w/both my kids not feeling at thier best we decided to stay at home. Michael was suppose to attend Sister Clay's funeral, and took turns sleeping. I think that I have a sinus infection due to the rain. However, the rain has cooled the temperature down so that the electric bill will not be high, nor the water bill. Anyways, the reason I need sleep, at 2:15 a.m. the tornado alarm went off. Michael and I both woke up, but Ahren and Mason stayed asleep. Of course, we look out the window for a tornado, (not very smart if there was an actual tornado), and check the news. Nothing. Since there wasn't a tornado, bad words start coming to mind due to the fact that I wanted to sleep. The alarm goes off for at least an hour and a half. Michael finally gets into the truck to find out if anything can be done. He stated that a police officer and other neighbors are trying to figure out what to do. Michael came back stating that they needed to let the battery run out or something. All I wanted to do was sleep. I feel bad about missing the heart walk... I hope that Dan, our computer guy, was able to come.

Mason

Today, I stayed home w/Mason due to him having a couch and diarrhea. the couch was okay, but the diarrhea was bad. I did not put any clothes on him due to fact that I would have to change clothes at least four times today. I was hoping that he would sleep, but he only slept one hour. Well, actually, two hours, one hour w/o me and the other w/me. I wanted him to sleep long so that i could sleep longer. It was great to have the one on one time w/him, BUT he would not allow me to get anything done around the house.

P.S. Mason has decided that he is friends w/the vacuum cleaner. He goes up to the vacuum cleaner and pushes it...talkes to it....looks at it...... he really likes the vacuum cleaner. When we are vacumming he likes to follow it around the house. I will try to record his relationship w/the vacuum cleaner.

Free time

Both Ahren and Mason went to bed early tonight. I don't think that Ahren feels good. He asked to go to bed at 6:45 p.m. I need to start my sharing time for Sunday, will try to start it tomorrow. I can't believe that both the boys have birthdays next month. Mason will be one and Ahren will be five. Ahren can't wait to turn five. Mason could care less. As long as Mason gets cake, that is all he cares about. When Ahren had his first birthday cake, he really did not like it. However, Mason is a different story! He will probably eat the entire cake. He gets that from his father.

Mom

Today, has been a year since mom passed away. It was hard day. Today was wonderful scracement meeting at church, but emotional for me. I think that I hid it pretty well. I still can remember her voice. I know that she is in Heaven w/my father, dancing along. Last year was an extremely hard year.... I sometime think that the reason that Mason was so late was that Heavenly Father gave mom a little bit of time to spend w/Mason before walking him over the veal. I try to remember the picture in Mason's room w/Christ......... "I never said it would be easy, I only said that it would be worth it!" I think that I got pregnant due to Heavenly Father knowing that I wuold loose my mom in one month and gain a child the next month. I had a hard time when my father died, but this time he gave me a blessing after heartache. My mom was hard headed and complicated. However, I knew that she loved me very much. Billy gave her a blessing before she came to the Hospise House in Fort Worth stating that she would make it hear, but that daddy waitted for a long time and wanted her home. I knew all along that she would never be at the birth of her second grandchild. The last week of her life she was medicated due to the pain, but she was able to talk only three words two days before her death. I told her I loved her and she told me that she loved me too. What comfort those three words were to me. I hope that today the Brown/Clay family, whom are going through the same circumstance, understand that their is comfort and peace behind the pain and tears.

Decisions, Decisions........

Sister Brown contacted Michael and I today about some property in Grandbury list at half the cost. We want some property for when we retire to live on. However, we don't know what to do! Of course, we prayed about it! This past week has been a bad week and we have not been the best Christ-like manner. I can't wait to go to church to pay our tithig and hopefully we will get some answers to our prayers.

P.S. Sister Brown goes to the Burleson Ward, but is also our realtor.
