Today is my mom's birthday!!!
You know the drill... So, please leave your comments below!Thank you much!
It's one of them feelings you hate having confirmed... Today when I tried to reach my mom for something... I had a feeling she was down at the other house because of Grandma... So, I called there & the Hospice nurse answered... She was there giving Grandma antibiotics for pneumonia. She then put mom on the phone who in turned said she believes it's the beginning... yeah... of the end. 
She's even contemplating if she should call ex-step dad (it's HIS mom!!)... so, if she's thinking that... I know it's not good. So... please pray...
she's 89 years old & we all were hoping she would make it, at least, to her 90th birthday on December 12th... but if she is sick... I don't & I'm sure the rest of the family, want her to suffer. It's a hard thing when they are this old...
What's even harder for us girls is that she is our last living grandparent. To no longer be called "granddaughter" is going to be a hard pill to swallow.
Oh... the picture above is when all us girls were at Bob Evans for breakfast (some time last year)... Left to right... Grandma, Gina, Mom, & Renee. (I'm the one who took the picture, that's why I am not in it... never dawned on me to have a waitress take it until days later!)

On a different note... don't forget about "The Last Word" game group... it's open to all! Just be sure to check out the rules on the home page (linked above). It's fun & there are virtual prizes to the winners!!! 
You all know how I love Tigger... well, I almost forgot... I love Tweety Bird just as much!! So, that's why I am sharing this...
For me football season is over... (except for the Super Bowl)... On Saturday, the Steelers lost their Wild Card game. Tonight, the Buckeyes lost the BCS Championship game. So now I turn my focus toward the countdown of the Daytona 500 & the start of the NASCAR season!!
Winter has taken a hiatus here in Ohio. It was up to 63 today & tomorrow looks to be the same... (It's SO warm in the house that I have a small box fan running.)
HOWEVER, the forecast shows a cold front will blow in, with some major gusts (40 to 60mph). Late tomorrow we should be back into the 30's!!
Back into a writer's block as far as the book goes. But, I'll get there.
So, if I've not been writing my book or blogging... what have I been doing?
Well, when I haven't been sleeping, I've been playing "Pop It" on Pogo.com. It's a fun game... but the draw back is since I am just playing on the web it decides to shut down after several games. Oh & also after every game there is an "intermission" in which they have an advertisement that plays. I do have to say I don't mind the breaks... plus I know that's how they're making their money so they can offer us the games for free!
On the farm front, my mom not only is hobbling along with a broken foot... now she's battling pneumonia. She was in the hospital over night & was pumped full of antibiotics & given breathing treatments once every 4 hours, then sent home this evening.
When my sister called I thought I was coming down with the same kind of cold my hubby has been fighting with the last week & 1/2... but I think I've won my battle with sleeping so much this past week & today.
Anyway, I feel bad I didn't go stay the night with Mike. (It sounds like he had a good time with my sister, though.)
Actually I think it will work out, because tomorrow I am going to pick him up to get his shot (of Risperdal). So, I'll be able to help out that way.
With that said, I guess I best get to bed.
