Life

Life sure has its ups and downs.

I didn't realize just how long it has been since I have posted anything on here. I just have had so many issues going on around here I just haven't had the time or energy to put my thoughts down. Life sure takes a lot of twists and turns. We recently found out that my granddaughter is pregnant. It knocked the wind out of me. She is 17 and going to be a senior in high school. I was so hoping that she would not follow in her mothers footsteps. But...so now we move forward and take things one day at a time. I never knew my life would turn out like this. I have raised my children, had foster child whom I adopted, raised my grandkids, grandson ended up living with his father, (not by my choice that is for sure) and now will be raising or rather help in raising my great grandchild. I never in a million years thought I would be a great grandma at the ripe old age of 54. There honestly is not words that I can put down to express how I fee. There is some major issues with the father of this baby. Won't go into this but hopefully she will see him for what he is and that will be the end of this. She is starting to see my daughter and my point. Time will tell. Not sure what she is having yet. She is due Jan5 or somewhere around that time. Will know more next week when she goes to the doctor.

Seems all I have been doing is working, sleeping and trying to find time to relax. I have been playing on facebook. That seems to be helping me keep my sanity, what little there is. I farm on Farmtown, live in Yoville. I really do enjoy farming and I enjoy decorating my home. It gets my creative juices running and lets me go as wild as I want when I decorate. I guess whatever works these days in keeping me sane.

I do get to go to another race coming up on August 15th. I am so looking forward to going. I need to get away. It's only for a couple days but at this point anything will be good.

We did get a chance to go to the fair a couple weeks ago. We went to the grandstand show and watching Bull Riding. I took some pictures but they didn't turn out that well. So can't post them. But if anyone gets a chance to go watch one of these shows, GO they are really interesting and fun. Those bulls are huge.

We have had some issues at work with this one resident who we have to sit with 1 on 1. So during the midnight shift which I work I have been reading. In the last couple weeks I think I have read like 8 books. Which is ok because I haven't had time to catch up on my reading as it was. I had a lot of books that I have been wanting to get to, and now I have. I am getting low so I did buy a couple more and am going to order some more from Barnes & Noble. I started reading this series and I need to get the rest of them. A lot have been added since I bought the first couple in the series. So I need to get them so I can continue. I love to read.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and stays safe. Have a good one.
