Praises....

*I started this post last night but didn't finish editing it til this morning so it is a little late but still holds true this morning*

My family and I owe the Lord a lot of praises this evening....
As I sit to type this post I am sitting in the hospital next to my almost 87 year old Grandmother who had a pacemaker/defibrillator combo putting in just hours ago and she is truly doing well. It is so amazing the medical advances that we have, where they can go in and put a small, battery operated device and your heart instantly beats better, you feel better and WOW....the Lord worked miracles through not only my Grandma's doctors who successfully implanted the device but the amazing doctors that invented this little device.  We praise the Lord for the blessing that is today and the successful operation.  Thank you to all my friends that sent good wishes to me and my family today we thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Grandma should be going home late Saturday afternoon to finish recovery for the next 10 days to 2 weeks, I pray for a speedy and successful recovery.  I am thankful for all the well wishes of friends and the extra prayers for Grandma, the power of prayer is truly amazing!

Saturday I will be home with both of my girls most of the day and will be using the day to hopefully get caught up on cleaning around the house, although with two young, demanding children by myself it might not be the easiest task.  Rich is going to play golf and then to a friends house to watch the Master's and eat dinner, I am glad he is getting a break but I totally wish I was getting one too!!

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend, will recap our weekend Sunday or Monday.

What a Week....

Thank goodness the weekend is here, this last week has just been so crazy two days of down time sounds amazing! March is traditionally the busiest work month of the year for me and that is true this year as well. My work week was made further insane with Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) being this week. Monday I ran around making sure everything was set up, all products were in place at the accounts around the parade route and that we were ready to run three wine tents and the VIP area come Tuesday. Tuesday was a crazy day, I did the normal work stuff then headed to Dunedin to set up for Mardi Gras on Main Street, we set up, we sold and poured wine, I didn't get home until after midnight. That night made me realize I am getting old and late nights like that are going to kill me, the best part was I wasn't even drinking, I had one beer the entire night, I am just old and already tired from being a working Mom. Wednesday was rough, I was tired...plus my Grandma had a big doctor's appointment about her heart so I was stressed about that and then the worst part of my day I had to attend the Durham of my other grandmother's sister. My Aunt Hilda was the last remaining of her siblings, my Uncle Frank passed away about 11 years ago and my Grandmother passed away last year so it was just a sad, odd feeling to know they are all gone now. I will miss Aunt Hilda but I know she is in a much better place now as her suffering in this world was great after having a massive stroke just a few weeks ago. So Wednesday was was difficult. My Grandma will be having a pacemaker/defibulator put in her heart on April 8th to make her left side of her heart pump because right now it is only pumping at 22%...so that has the whole family stressed. Then Thursday and Friday were crazy work wise and now we are to the weekend and I am just relaxing with the kids and husband, although I have cleaning and grocery shopping to do as well as meal planning to do for the week but at least I can most of that in my pj's with no makeup on!
