This is basically just an update for anyone who cares.I was just sitting here thinkin "I really should blog SOMETHING!!" so here goes. I really just feel content right now to try to put a description on my feelings.Far from settling into a routine tho. I dont think my life has ever been normal. Just a feeling of accomplishment I guess.I spent the day w/ my daughter the other day,and now that all her music competitions are out of the way till after my grandson arrives on the scene,we can turn our attentions to preperation mode.We spent the day SHOPPING!!! always a fun and favorite passtime of ours,purchasing items needed for the nursery.It was fun coordinating colors and stuff for the paint and curtains etc. Then we took it all back to her place,cleaned the room real good and she even talked me into cutting in the first coat of primer.As the day progressed we got more and more excited.Talking over all the "what if's"that are sure to run through every expectant mothers mind(and grandmothers),Then we discussed the probability of me moving in next week until after she gets home from the hospital.and of course all of this could very well be interuppted by the arrival of Daddy!!(which would be perfect!!actually)considering it is the military we are trying not to get our hopes up.So we just decided to plan everything as tho he would not be home and then deal with it later if he does show up.
All of this is helping me to keep my mind off of my older son who went back to Germany last week and then was deployed a few days ago back to Afghanistan.It would'nt be so bad if he was going into a neutral area(actually will be stationed in a green zone but...)I dont know how many of you heard about the insurgence and the break out that took place a few weeks ago over there,but it happened at the main air base that my son would be proccessing out of to go to where he will be for the next year.even tho its a green zone,you cant tell me he wont be involved in some missions pertaining to the 400 taliban that escaped from that airbase the week before he deployed over there.And I am angry about the many guards that were killed in the proccess.the thing that really gets me is the fact that(granted the info.released to the press was probably shaded somehow)what ever went down over there was'nt handled properly and those guards died needlessly.Well I better stop dwelling on that issue before it depresses me. any of you who believe in prayer.....please pray that I hear from my son soon so I can be at rest at least a little bit.
I am anxiously awaiting a very important UPS delivery,I think it is supposed to arrive today,I have been so excited to actually get a jumpstart on Christmas this year and have ordered some things for that.
My garden is looking GREAT!!!! it is so comforting to look out my front window and enjoy the benefits of my labor.
Chiropractor visits have been going VERY well and I am half way back to being somewhat normal physically. I have been able to get out and ride a bike,do some light gardening and work on my crosstitching w/out being in pain.I am looking forward to getting back into a powerwalking routine soon but I have to find a new location closer to home.Which is kind of putting a damper on it cause I will miss walking in the state park rec. area.Oh well,time to get an I-pod I guess.
I finished my "wolf family" picture a couple of weeks ago and am in the proccess of getting it framed real nice so I can try to sell it.So anyone interested in some origional art work,It's my first piece and I have some ideas for starting a business eventually but I need to sell this one first to get me started.
My hubby finally was offered what they call an "energy transfer" at work.He is currently working in a city that is quite a long distance drive for him every day,and the transfer will bring him much closer to home(close enough that I can surprise him w/ lunch once and a while)and the savings on gas mileage and gas itself will be like a raise in pay!! He wont begin that change in schedule until mid-July but it will be worth it.PLUS he will be closer to home when our daughter goes into labor. YAY!!
Well I think I have bored ya'll enough for the day so I will sign off now,I hope everyone has an AWESOME day and dont forget to slow down long enough to either smell a flower or watch a sunset or gaze upon the face of a sleeping child.It will change your life.BE BLESSED!!!!!

What a nice blog! I hope your son is safe, and that he contacts you soon! I'll keep him in my prayers.
Thankyou,Thankyou,Thankyou!!!!!
That wasn't boring at all! It was very interesting reading about all that is going on. I can feel the excitement as everyone is anticipating delivery day. I sure do hope Daddy does get to be home for the big day. Of course I will have your son in my thoughts and prayers. It is a scary situation, for sure, so it's understandable that you are concerned. I am happy to hear you are feeling better and moving about more comfortably. That's great news! Gee, it really was a great blog.
