Almost time to decorate for Fall!! Yippy!! 

So now to catch up with pictures and posts. 

Glad to be back. Hugs, Bobbi Jo 

Backing Up

 Events since Thursday March 17th. Where do I start.........we were to go camping on Thursday the 17th we had been planning this for over a month. I got a call about 5:20 am or so from Alan's Mom to tell us that his sister had passed away. This sister Barbara, lives about 3 hours away from us. We didn't know when the funeral would be so we changed plans to going on Day trips instead of our 3 day camping trip.
 We went to the funeral on Tuesday March 22nd. It was a very nice funeral. I wasn't close to Barbara so it was nice to hear from those that were about what she did and who's lives she had touched. The viewing started at 9 and we got done about 2. There was a nice luncheon put on buy the church. It was good to see Alan's family members too. I don't see them that often but always nice to visit with my sweet nieces and see how everyones families are growing and changing.
 On Wednesday I found out that my sister had put my Mom into a nursing home but no one told me. Needless to say I was upset. Then I found out it was on Feb. 28th when she was put there. WHAT? No one contacted me about it. So I got even a little more bitter and I had to step back take a bunch of deep breaths and pray for help in the process of getting over this. It wasn't that simple.
 I finally got the information with the phone number and called my Mom. I feel so guilty that she is alone in a nursing home. She said she is lonely and that makes me so sad. I know she has Alzheimers but I hate the thought of her feeling alone. She said she doesn't remember anyone asking her to go live with them. I had wanted to but was told by people that it wouldn't be a good idea. I don't know still if it isn't the best thing to do. I wouldn't want to be alone in a place where I didn't know anyone. This just makes me so sad that I can't think about it too much or I cry.

 Thursday Coco called and asked us if we could meet up with her, her children and in laws to pick her up in Phoenix so she could stay with us for a while. Of course I jumped at the chance to have her & my sweet grand babies here. Love having them here.

 This is Naima loving on Talmage as he takes his afternoon nap. 

 On Friday Alan flew to Atlanta, Georgia to be best man for one of his brothers weddings. He went with his Mom and they had a good trip. Enjoyed meeting the new bride and her family. He came home on Sunday. It was good to have him back home.
 So this has been going on in my life. I haven't worked much in the past 2 weeks but not to worried about it. I have had enough on my mind to keep me busy.
 If I haven't left a comment don't think I haven't been checking in I have. Love looking at all the wonderful blogs and getting motivated, ideas and hearing how everyone is doing. Hugs, Bobbi Jo

So Much

 There has been so much going on since I last posted on my blog. I have to keep myself off the computer most of the time or I can spend all day on her reading blogs and daydreaming about the time to do crafts and such.
 Being that June 4th was the last I posted there has been changes in our family. Coco & her sweet family just moved back to my old stomping grounds in Pennsylvania. Kyle got a job and was suppose to start in August then it got moved up to July 5th they would leave then the ended leaving on my Birthday. They did come down 5 days early and when I got home from school at 7 on Wed. night they were here and a family surprise Birthday party was on. Such a surprise and a fun time!
 They left that Thursday afternoon, WAY too soon for this kid.
Saturday I had my usual clinic and worked on some wonderful people. Got a fantastic evaluation from the director of our school. So glad when my clients are feeling great when they get off the table.
 On Monday at lunch time my sweet friends had a Birthday surprise party for me. I got a giant bag of Peanut M & M's from my sweet BFF Joy and sweetVeronica got me the Crown and the tiara and the septer where with my cake. The cake was so yummy! My sweet friend Emillio brought in home made chips and salsa (one of my favs!) and sweet Sylvia brought in some other munchies. It was really fun!

 I have passed all my classes. Took Russian, got an A and learned 80 different strokes.I also passed Structural II got a B in it. It was suppose to be the toughest written exam. I am now taking Trigger Point, Injury, Pro. D 4, Anatomy III and Pathology II. I love pathology it is amazing I love learning about all the different pathologies. Graduation is coming fast I have 4 weeks left of the Professional program then I have a Sunday off then start the Masters Program. Really excited about that!  I have made some wonderful friends at school. Some of who I plan on doing charity events with and some money earning opportunities.
 I have decided to give up soda. I have been playing around with about a 10 pound weight fluctuation since around Feb. and I am tired of it. I want to lose more weight so I can be in better shape to work on people. To set the example of good health and taking care of our bodies. I think it is important to walk the walk and talk the talk.
 The kiddos are doing good. Supporting me while I am crazy busy and not much time devoted to being Mom. I can't believe how much time is needed to study, do homework and the time to travel to and from school. I know it is worth it and I love the learning new things and the opportunity of working on people.
 So it is almost the 4th of July. Very excited about this weekend and camping. It has been such a long time for us to get away like this it is going to be fun and I have 4 days off!!
 So until I post again I hope all of you are doing well. Hugs, Bobbi Jo
