Since I know you all sit perched at the pc or mac just waiting for my next blog entry-humor me please, I will leave you with some activities for the week…
1)help me figure out how to get more photo space on this blog I am at 90% cap right now
2)Can you follow instructions?
Please read all of the instructions before doing anything, you are allowed 3 minutes to complete this task.
- Find a pen and paper.
- Write your name at the top of the paper.
- Write the numbers 1 to 5, one per line.
- Draw five small circles beside #1.
- Put an “X” in the second and fourth circles next to #1.
- Write the word ‘encyclopedia’ beside #3.
- On the back of the paper multiply 7 x 9.
- Put an X in the lower right-hand corner of the paper.
- Draw a circle around the X you just made.
- Underline your name.
- Say your name out loud.
- Draw a circle around #4.
- Count the number of words in this sentence and write the answer beside #2 on your paper.
- Put a square around #1 and #5.
- Punch 3 small holes anywhere in the paper.
- Write your first name beside #4.
- Write today’s date beside #5 on your paper.
- Circle every letter ‘E’ you have written.
- Say ‘FINISHED’ out loud.
Now that you read all of the instructions, skip all of them except the first two! If you have followed the instructions correctly, you should only have your name on the paper! How did you do?
3)I recently(like yesterday) discovered this blog Dreams of a Country Girl and I like her blog for many reasons
a) unlike me this girl can write
b)she “Big Pink Fuzzy Hearts with glitter LOVES” lotsa thangs
c)instead of beans she has twerps
d)she has to be my long lost bloggin sista
e)she also has a cabana boy-his name is Jose
4)Girlie wisdom
A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control pills… she has 14 kids but doesn’t really care.
One of life’s mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5 lbs.
My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
The best way to forget your troubles is to wear tight shoes.
The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don’t know what you are doing, someone else does.
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends. (LOVE IT!)
Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
Sometimes I think I understand everything, and then I regain consciousness.
I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting fire to my pants.Amazing!
You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks 2 sizes!
Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like… ‘You know - sometimes I forget to eat!’ ….. Now I’ve forgotten my address, my mother’s maiden name and my keys, but I have never forgotten to eat.You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!
The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing and then they marry him.
I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That’s my idea of a perfect day
My confession for today: DYK that the beans start back to school in 3.5 weeks and if you take away this week of vaca that leaves 2.5 weeks… oh where has the summer gone?

Sorry for the delay in updates on Daddy-things have been kinda hectic.
Daddy’s surgery went very good-Dr Smith did not have to take as much of the quad muscle out as she first thought,which is great news!
Mercy Hospital is a wonderful hospital-the staff are out of this world fantastic. They took such good care of daddy and I think seeing happiness on the oncology floor was just what the staff needed. We are, as they say, “One BIG Happy Family”
Daddy was in rare form telling everyone about mangosteen,no I’m not kidding-there he is getting hooked up to the IV,wait let me back track, it actually started with admitting…we thought at one point he may actually try and write this lil hospital stint off as a business trip!
I had very strict orders, there were 3 things I could NOT forget
1)his briefcase that holds his mangosteen info-check
2)his bottle of “juice”-check
3)his redman golden blend chewing tobacco-check
Daddy got to come home to our house Thursday and I will admit I was a bit nervous-all these “what ifs” kept popping up in my head, like, what if…he bends his knee and his incision splits open-will the ambulance get here in time to revive me? What if… I pass out at the site of his incision-will the ambulance get here in time to revive me? So you get the idea, ima big ol wimp!
Now here is where the “Superman”comes in to play…Daddy started out on a walker, after a few hours he was on crutches and I want to also note that he has not had one ounce of pain meds not even an aleve-now if I were in the hospital and had a lil push button device that would administer “good drugs” with a one finger push I would be flying with the birds, but not daddy! Yesterday we took a stroll down the street-gotta keep the circulation in those legs going…He is doing well with the leg immobilizer(LI) and the LI sure helps keep me at ease because he is NOT to bend that leg or God forbid the need for an ambulance for me-just call me “nervous ninny”.
Friday morning mr gp went to Okay to pick up ena-she so desperately wanted to help in some way,so I called her Thursday night and asked her if she wanted to come up and help me take care of daddy-well she jumped at the chance and she was a BIG help,she cut up taters for me to go with the beans and mexican cornbread,then she helped slice garden fresh cucumbers,tomatoes,onions and mozzarella cheese for our salad-I couldn’t have done it without her!
We had a home health nurse(Katie) out yesterday and she cleaned and re-dressed daddy’s wound-and my sister(you know, the faloozie) would be so proud of me cuz I even looked while the nurse did her thang,all-be-it through my fingers BUT I looked! He had no drainage an his stats were great!
We also had Justine the physical therapist(PT) out and he showed daddy some foot and leg exercises that he needs to do 3 x’s a day to help keep circulation going and to help with his quad muscle. The upper thigh exercises hurt but they are necessary for recovery.
He is getting REALLY bored with watching tv and movies so we have been playing dominoes(the beans really enjoy straight dominoes) and today when my sister gets here we hope to get a game of 42 going-have you ever played 42? Or is it a country thang? Well it’s fun and I remember when I was a young bean watching all the adults sit around the table playing 42…ahhh memories.
So my sister Laura Gayle came up to bring daddy’s mail-thats her in the front of the below pic
And daddy got lots and lots of cards in the mail-it was so cute watching him open up cards and go hmmm “I think I know a Pam… but I don’t know a Pam in Denver” then I let him in on the secret…he just giggled and giggled Then he said “how in the world am I gonna Thank all these people?” So from the bottom of our Hearts THANK YOU for the get well cards!
Here are a few pics from the past few days…
Daddy after surgery-notice the nutter butters-I knew I should have bought stock in those cookies-geesh and daddy says he dosn’t like peanut butter! pffft 
Here’s Daddy in shorts-shhhh don’t tell him I put this on the internet or he will whoop me! and there is ena looking lovely as ever
Here is daddy a few minutes later-he sent my sis LG to the store to get him some new britches that have zip off legs-he is officially “city-fied!”
He feels more covered up now and thinks he may need a couple more pairs of these snazzy britches-what I see is NO Immobilizer! Hey why is that thing off your leg? Ya gotta watch daddy, he is sneaky!
So daddy goes to Arkansas on Monday,to stay with the faloozie,we have decided to still go on our summer vacation-it really wouldn’t be fair to the beans and believe me I was torn on this decision but daddy is superman and knowing him he will be trying to 2 step come Thursday-
Thursday daddy will go back to OKC for a follow up with Dr Smith-then we will start either chemo or radiation-we will know more about that and physical therapy on the 24th. The one thing I do know is, he is so ready to get back to his house!
My confession for today: My Daddy is “DUH BOOM!”

I didn’t sleep last night,I am nervous about what will happen tomorrow…trying to stay positive and have faith that everything will be okay. Everything just happened so quickly, I don’t think that I have fully processed it all. We are trying to take care of things since he won’t be home for awhile,like making sure my sister can pick up his mail,making sure all bills are paid,making sure the animals are taken care of,double checking the fridge for foods that may spoil, the list goes on…
I am overwhelmed and I can only imagine how daddy feels-I don’t think there has been a day in his life he has asked for help and now here he is in this situation where he has to rely on others-it is both heartwarming and heartbreaking-
We have been daddy-proofing the house,trying to get flip flops,back-packs and all kindsa other things the beans inevitably walk in the door with and just drop in the first empty spot. We have 5 lil step-ups/step-downs in and around my house-I have sent mr gp on a wood run so we can try and create a slope effect making it easier on daddy when he arrives here from the hospital.
We have also had tons of calls from family and friends asking how they can help and I thought about this last night-if anyone would like to send daddy a get well card,I am certain he would get a huge kick out of having mail from complete strangers with well wishes-plus it will give him something to do-while he is pretty much “holed” up in my house wearing *gasp* shorts-
I will post an email addy in the comment section-if you would like to send a card just email me with “Papa George” in the subject line and I will get you his addy. Of course we gladly accept PRAYERS!
My Confession for today: Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE my Daddy?

yep I do… My ASS Rocks,My ASS is the sweetest,My ASS knows me very well…
Okay let explain, before my pc gave me fits, I was a fancy pants member on the DYK message board and everyone decided it would be fun to have an ASS (a special someone) exchange. Since I can’t get the DYK site to load grrrr-I can’t post that I have recieved my gift. So I gotta do it via the blog…
I miss ALL my fancy pants friends and I want my wonderful ASS to know that her gift was awesome…
So, to my oh so wonderful ASS Thank you so much! I LOVE the measuring spoons-the Vera Bradley make-up bag in chocolate brown is beautiful and the very cool water bottle-which will come in handy next week at the hospital. Here is a pic of the goodies…
Now this next lil pic REALLY has me stumped-I know what it is and it is just adorable! I just don’t know who it’s from-is it part of my ASS gift? It said “from my DYK-friend” and came a day before the above goodies came LOL I think I am confusing myself now-here is a pic
Told ya-it’s adorable!
So my dear fancy pants, when all the ASS exchange names have been revealed can someone PLEASE let me know who had my name? Since the site won’t load I wanted my ASS to know how much I appreciated her gift…
I also hope my ASS “ang” enjoyed all her goodies I sent-did the flip flops fit? I feel like I am missing out on all the fun fancy pants shenanigans…
My confession for today:even tho’ my pc won’t load the DYK site, I will forever be a “Fancy Pants”

We are home from OKC with good news. They will NOT have to do a leg amputation. Dr Smith feels like she can get all or most of the tumor/cancer out. He will loose some muscle,may need some radiation therapy and probably wear a brace but as daddy puts it, “a butchered up leg is better than no leg”-AMEN
Mr gp is going to pick daddy up on Monday, while I fix him fried chicken,mashed taters with gravy and veggies-he can’t eat after midnight,so I am gonna make sure he has a good home-cooked meal. His surgery is scheduled for Tuesday in OKC and we hope to have him home on rainbow mountain in Ft Gibson by Thursday-
We are a family who completely believes in the Power of Prayer so Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers, it will be a long road to recovery as he will need physical therapy and if Dr Smith isn’t able to completely remove the tumor he may need a medical oncologist. A CT scan will be done on Tuesday to make sure the sarcoma hasn’t spread to his lungs.
We have made reservations at The Courtyard By Marriott in OKC-they just opened for business today and I was assured we will be the first to sleep on their sheets-I was just excited they wanted my business so badly they gave us rooms that typically have a going rate of $149 for $79 and he comp’d in their full breakfast buffet that is normally $10 pp for our entire family of 14 travelers. The rooms have fridges and microwaves, so we can take sandwiches for the beans to eat.
My Confession for today: clean sheets,fridge,microwave & breakfast included, one less thing I gotta worry about on Tuesday-Thank You Lord!

I just wanted to let you know that I am going through a very rough time in my life right now and this blog may be kinda silent for a while…
Long story short daddy went in for what seemed like a lil routine hemotoma drainage on his knee last Thursday. Well when the Dr cut in to him he didn’t like what he saw and wanted to do a biopsy and our worst fears were confirmed today-my daddy has a high grade sarcoma that is very malignant, AKA rhabdomyo sarcoma.
We are on our way to to OKC on Thursday to meet with an orthopedic oncologist…Please keep daddy in your thoughts and prayers…
My confession for today: I will be back to bloggin when I can

I recently discovered this site through bzzagent via the frogpong and I gotta tell ya “It is a WONDERFUL site”
Wish Upon A Hero was first conceived by founder Dave Girgenti shortly after the September 11th attacks on New York City. From his home in NJ, Girgenti watched as thousands of people posted pictures of missing loved ones throughout the city. He thought there had to be a faster, more organized way to connect people in need. That was the moment in which the idea was born. Read more by CLICKING HERE …
So I am browsing the site last night and the wishes range from cards to trips and I think what a wonderful way to get the beans involved in the aspect of “paying it forward” teaching them the rewards of kindness on someone they don’t know and expecting nothing in return…doing a good deed for the right reasons. The beans have done some “community service projects” BUT those were in direct relation to a club/school and was expected. With this site the beans can search a huge list of wishes and pick one they wish to fulfill.
Lilest bean found one where a lil girl about her age wished for a tube of lip-gloss. Oldest bean found one where a granddaughter wanted 86 cards sent for her grandmothers 86th Birthday and middle bean is still searching for the perfect wish that will make him a hero in someones eyes.
Of course you can do these wishes where the other person knows who the wish granter is OR you can do it anonymously-we are going to do the latter.
I would like to encourage you all to take a peek at the site Wish Upon A Hero just click it you will be glad you did…
My Confession for today:Fearless Fourteen is out and I haven’t bought it yet-the reason I haven’t bought the book is because the price of the book = half a tank of gas for my car…
