I am Uncluttering

Sometimes a person has so many things they do not really know what they have. Well, I am in the process of getting rid of a lot of stuff. I am giving to Goodwill and good riddence to it. I am tired of being a slave to cleaning all this stuff and harboring it up so someone else can enjoy it maybe. Theres clothes, whatnots, toys, bedclothes jewelry, and you name it, its there. One man's trash is another man's treasury. I will feel so much better once this stuff is out of here and I am going to be careful what I buy so I won't get crowded up again. The kids have a surplus of stuff too so it ends up here too. It would have made for a very good sale, but I'm not planning on getting out in that heat for any amount of money. So to unclutter is good. Try it........................the adventerous Irene

Let me tell you about my son-in laws

Ok-I will start with Brian first, he came first in line. He and Becky dated a long time before they married and now he is retired from the Army.. He works every day now and is a Christian. He is the proud Dad to Lauren, 14 yrs. old. Brian was always a gentleman-always being helpful and courteous and sweet. He was special son from the beginning and stayed so nice. I have 4 daughters so I have 4 son-in laws. I shall have only one daughter-in-law and that is not happening right now as David plays the field and is not ready to settle down.. Ok, now the second son-in-law is John-also known as Aughty-he is a wonderful boy whom does everything in his power to keep his little family took care of. He is a neat freak and it has paid off-everything stays immaceulate. The boys are neat also and is Crystal. John will do anything I need him to do and Tommy and I appreciate him. He is like my own son, always thoughtful and gentle natured. Ok-next-Is Jarrid, and he is on the top list for being kind and sweet and always a gentleman, and he has always had a pleasent voice and never showed anger to me. He is away from the family but he is still in my heart and I miss him. He is a good daddy also and his two little girls have his big brown eyes and Kade looks like him in his build, as he is tall, so Jarrid is also a great son-in-law, Last comes my sweetie Chad, Robin's husband. Now Chad won my heart from the start as he is so nice and thoughtful and very helpful. His little boy is his spitting image and I want him for my very own. He loves lovens. Ok-now that is all of them and I feel ppretty lucky to have been given 4 son-in-laws this great. Neither of them drink , and they are good prooviders and good daddys. If they read this their head will probably swell a little, but they deserve recognition from their one and onlu Mother-in-law. Hope they feel the same about the "Adventerous Irene".....................That's All...Happy Memorial Day

She changes hair colors and loves to dress cute. She is tan as a biscuit and has a very cute face. She is also little but tall. Well my third daughter is a beautiful girl whom is mostly quiet, serious and loves to confide in her mom-me. She is blonde with big green eyes and a pretty humble face that lights up when she smiles. She has had some problems in her marriage but she is old enough to make her own decisions. I told her I am with her no matter what-she is a very sweeet girl. Sometimes fate takes a turn and couples get apart. This hurts a lot of people but if I could help it-she would still be happy with jARRID/ He has always been a special son-in-law and I wish him well. But time marches on and life goes on-I wish my Gina happiness because she seems to have anger toward him and only she knows why..Now let me tell you about my number 4 dauuughter. Being last somehow she turned out to be the one everyone wanted to play with and goosey as a child. She also is tan-im a lil jealous lol, and she is blonde/she would pass for a teen quen. She looks like me and Thomas. Gina looks just like Thomas, her dad except he has a big ol head of curly hair...by the way he is very handsome and is still my heartthrob after all these years. I love him too much. Crystal is a sweetie but dont get her mad at you-she will chew u up and spit u out lol. She is tetotally in love with hubbie John. They are so cute together................................Ok that is all of them so I just wanted to tell you about them. They are the loves of my life and im so proud of each of them. I hope I have been an inspiration to them too. Moms need daughters to talk to annnnd vice versa................the adventureous Irene is Always thinking of something to tell you folks....Remember she loves you and so does the Lord

Watch Out For The Flu Bug

I didn't think the flu bug was still around this late into spring, but well it is. My lil Kade visites his granny and came back with the flu. He was very sick with bronchitis and a fever. He was seen by his doctor and went back to school-was a character in his play at school wearing a lil lamb's suit. He is a lil lamb and looked the part although the lil lammmmb suit itched him 2 much. Well then Gina came over with a high fever 103.6 and was flushed. She went to E.R.-said it was flu-not swine flu tho. Later Nevaeh got a fever too and is sick. Well, Makenzie has been hanging around with me-hope we do not get the "BUG". I think I have a good immune system-hope so. Hope Crystal and all avoid this too. They just got back from North Carolina and Tennessee. I don't like to see any of my babies sick-they usuallyy are well till they come in contact with a bug somewhere. I have been on line this early Sunday morning-I heard a rooster crow somewhere and he awakened me-is that cute or what?........................Must start my lovely Sunday. It is the Lord's day and I will rest and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful sunshine or the rain. I am blessed with so much and am very thankful as I start my day.......Irene loves you and so does the Lord

Nevaeh Got Dog Bitten By Lincoln

I was on the computer and heard a car pull up and someone close a door. I've been expecting some laborers to come and estimate some cost for repairing. I waited for their knock-at this point the dogs were not barking. Then the door opened wide and Gina and Nevaeh came in. I said hi to my baby girl whom proceeded to me. Well, Lincoln started toward her very quickly and grabbed her legs and wouldnt let go. I quickly got him after Nevaeh was screaming bloody murder. That scared me and Gina when her foot began to bleed and drip. She immediately wrapped it and I ran with her and drove her van to the hospital. Nevaeh was terrified. A few times before Lincolln had bit at Caleb, Kade and Cameron but no like this. Lincoln's prior owner had a daughter whom pestered Lincoln to the point of biting her and she ddid it for a joke/ Well anyway Nevaeh cooperated with the nurses. We put her in a wheelchair and she loved. The bleeding stopped. Nevaeh got an ID bracelet and ask for a cute one but got daffy duck. At E.R. she was seen and got a shot and an antibiotic. No stitches for fear of infection.later. Now she is fine but sore and has a bandaged foot. I am one to spring into action when needed and I think my adrealine rush would impel me to run with a kid on my back all the way to E.R. lol.......forbid that to happen..Ok all is well now and I shall ground Lincoln and keep him under wrap-when Gina comes over he will not bite again. Actually I did't know he would do this. One never knooooows what an animal may do....Catch you later readers. Remember Irene loves and so does our Lord Jesus

Exercising At the YMCA

Yes, folks the "Adventureous Irene" is now burning up the track at the Y. My diet has proven that one can walk a lil longer when one loses a lil weight. I had a lil friend to take with me to walk. Makenzie and I had a really rewarding evening. The wind blew up there while we walked. We talked and held hands and she laughed with her Mamaw. It was warm and yet the wind was invigorating. But once I paused to couugh and had gotten a whiff of a sweet smell of a flowery breeze. I started coughing and coughing, my throat tickles. It was something blowing in the aiir from up in the woods. When I had walked farther-it went away. Well we proceeded to walk and at the 4th round Makenzie spotted the play area, and that did it for her. She stopped to play with a kid there. I kept walking and made it to six times and could have walked more but Makenzie was wanting something to drink-forgot to bring water. We left and got water and something for her to eat. She ask me if I were going to eat and almost ordered. But my reality-diet voice kicked in and I said no. Later, after Gina stopped to get Makenzie I got on line and nibbled on some trail mix and sierra mist. Gina had taken Kade to the Doctor. He has the flu. Think someone at the other granny's must have had this also. He is a very sick lil boy. But I had to get my hug and kiss-hope that flu bug didn't get me too. Later I bathed Lincoln, and he loved it-big handsome lasa ahpso. Makennzie and I are going to take pics. of he and I and Makenzie at the Y. Will post them on my blog soon. Well my coffee is done-smells good. I will fill you in on the latest as it unfolds . With the "Adventureous Irene" you never know what I will be doing next....................................Irene loves you and so does Jesus

Losing A Few Pounds

Well I hadn't really thought that losing 10 pounds would be so easy-just don't eat so much. Just because all the leftovers are still lookin tasty is no sigh one should try to consume them. If you still feel hungry after dinner, try sucking on a mint or chew some gum. Also drink something as a cup of water, sugarless coke or chew on ice chips. After the first 3 or 4 days, you feel a lot better with less food. But-thhhe want for food stays on your mind constantly. At about the second week it gets easier and you appreciate your meals and plan them. You should chew your food longer and choose more fresh veggies and fruit. Trailmix is fine. I will admit that I break over once a week to pick up a yummy butter pecan scoop of ice cream. Believe me I do appreciate this after I wait a few days. Honestly dieting is mind over matter, It really is a choice and you have to talk to yourself while you are dieting. Encourage yourself/there is no said amount I wish to lose-I know losing some weight wards off high blood presure and diabetes. Already someone has told me I look smaller. I do feel better and I hope to lose down to at least 10 more pounds. I am tall so I think I can carry the weight I will keep. I really need to keep the foods that I should be eating because when one is hungry one tends to grab whatever one has around hanndy....I could use exercise to tone-up but for now slacking off so much food is working. If you want to lose weight, try to stick with your diet for your health-and when your pants start falling off you will know it is working. Believe me you will be so happy........The Adventerous Irene

Happy Mother's Day

My mother is here with me in spirit and in mind, having passed over to her heavenly home a few years ago. Words cannot describe my precious Mother. She was always being the best she could be, raising 5 children alone and seeing that we all graduated from high school. She worked hard to keep us fed and clothed. We worshipped her. We always minded whatever she told us to do....no matter what. We all shared chores, some quite adult size chores, necessary to our family maintenance. She always hugged us and told us she loved us and never married again till we were all out of the nest, She never had a male companion yet as pretty as she was Im sure she could have had a few. Times were pretty rough but I never felt that way. To me wealth and happiness was from a loving mother, smiling at the dinner table or praying for all of us at night. Her soft whispering voice still echoes at night as I remember her sweet prayers. She was a thankful person and was very free-hearted. Many times she helped others and kept an extra plate for anyone. We had the basics and it was stated once that her children looked nicer than the children of a lawyer or doctor. She taught us to be neat and clean. The most important thing she taught us was the love of our ord Jesus...helping all the children to become Christians. We were always on the church bus as teens too. I remember attending Wed. night prayer service when I was very small. I would sit with the elders and read right along with them, my fet barely touching the floor. Our mother allowed us to clean the church house every week and we would go home to her knowing she would have a good meal waiting and we had made her happy, I was lucky to spend her last years with her at our house. Tommy and I waited on her. She was a sweet love to us, praying every night and waking to get a good cup of coffee. I miss her desperately but the Lord has lightened my load. He told me to let him take care of her and to make it to heaven to see her again, On this mother's day I will think of those beautiful blue eyes and her sweet hugs as I look sadly at the bedroom where she slept..The day before she passed she walked down the hallway and said " tommorrow I will walk a lot more". She never gave up. I was fortunate to hear say "kiss me on the forehead and I might feel better:..She was feeling bad that morning, at the break of day. I will never forget that morning. She said "you know I love you, don't you, and I kissed her. That was the last time I would ever hear her voice. I have my mother here in my heart as I hear her cute little sayings and find myself doing things just as she did them...Ok I will sign off saying "Happy Mother"s Day to all mothers. Please be kind to your mother and let her know you care. It sure is lonely without her..........The Adventerous Irene
