Finally Back!

So, here I am late at night, Journey playing through the speakers (quietly, because of the baby), and I finally realize..."I have a few minutes to blog out 'cause the baby is asleep!" Seems like every time I sit down, someone hands me the baby! Don't get me wrong, she is totally spoiled by me. If I sit with her on a blanket on my couch, she has picked up the habit of propping one leg up on my stomach. Cool, ain't it?


Since you saw me here last, I have had a birthday (April 10)! I am now 51 years old. There is still a little tread on the old tires, if you know what I mean...Ok, the ol' lady had a birthday also(April 17). She is 49 years old. What can I say, it has been a strange couple of months since the baby was born! Having to re-learn all of the things you need to know about babies. Seems like that knowledge just stays buried in the back of your brain untill you need to access it!


There is not much else to say. I have been busy with the baby, as has everyone else. I forgot just how much attention babies need! I am trying to think of something to say here. I have started to baby-sit the two oldest grandchildren, Roze and Vinnie. Those two are a blast! You just never know what they will come up with next. Today they were banging on pots and pans...and the baby just slept right through it all!


I will say that I have been reading a lot of posts on facebook from a friend in Canada. Rock on girl! She was off the 'net for awhile, but it looks like she is back, and doing ok. I just want to wish her all of the luck in the world, and may she find peace wherever she may be.


Well, that is all of the news for now...I am outta here!

New Picture of Baby

I thought I would place a picture of the new grandbaby! Baby and mother are well, and doing fine. Baby is spoiled already, so my wife and I are doing our part!

We finally have a baby girl! She was born Friday night, the 11th of March 2011. She weighed 6pounds 8ounces. She was 19 inches long. Mother and child are now at home. Her name is Shianne Grace. She is already taking as much as four two ounce bottles at night! She is fine as far as we can tell.


Now, for other news. As of my last visit we now have high speed broadband internet! Surfing the web with high speed is a whole new experience, believe me. My blood-sugar levels are drastically DOWN as of late. Things seem to be on the up-swing for once! I think I will end on that note...

Hello, folks! Still no baby as of yet...any day now. It could be as much as two weeks before we get a baby! The doctor seems to think this will be a long pregnancy. Ok, more news on my doctor. I am back on insulin, and I am on something to help me lose weight also. I hope it works. Actually, I hope both work.


Ok, not much to talk about, we are all just waiting, and hoping we are well prepared when the time comes. I will let you know more when I know more. Hey, how did you like my picture that I put up? Pretty cool, huh?

Still Waiting...

Well, no baby as of yet. I am sitting here with the music very loud again. Some of it helps with the depression, some of it makes it hurt even more. I don't know why it works out that way, it just does. Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man" is playing right now. It sort of describes my life. I am a simple man...right through to the core. Beer and whiskey are my drink, meat and potatoes are what fuels me! Ask me anything, and I will answer truthfully. I don't lie...I suck at it, and always get caught in it, so I just don't. I am just that simple.


You should be very careful, by "simple" I do not mean stupid. Underestimate me at your own peril. Too many people have mistaken simple for stupid! That usually costs them...in pain. I am going to try to share a picture with you that was taken last year, so you can see me! Keep in mind that I do not kill animals. I say that because I am holding a bow in the picture. It is in my front yard, so no animals were harmed in the making of this picture. Wait! I found it! Maybe I did it right! I will write again when we have a baby...


Well it won't let me do it. Any ideas? How to post a picture here?

Life Always Finds a Way

Well, here we are just about two weeks out from a new baby being here! Life always finds a way to perpetuate itself, huh? I will have a new granddaughter to spoil, my youngeat daughter will have a life full of scraped knees, and soccer games to go to. My wife will join me in spoiling the child, as will the oldest daughter and her family. Life does go on. Anytime you think you are better than anyone else, try looking into the eyes of a child. You will see an entire world there that neither you nor I can possibly imagine!


I am sitting here with my music so loud that my sub-woofer is dancing on the floor! I have to get all of my loud listening in before the baby gets here. After she comes, there will be no LOUD MUSIC...just headphones!LOLNow, to the serious shit.


I am not elegible for an insulin pump! I am taking Januvia, a pill, for my diabetes. You MUST have been on insulin injections for at least three months, and checking your blood-glucose levels four times daily, which I am not doing. I check at least once daily, sometimes not at all. I am just tired of all the needle sticks all of the time! I haven't been back to the doctor's office yet, but I imagine she will be pretty steamed up at my lack of diligence. Oh well, she is a grown woman, and will get over it quickly! HAHAHAHA


Let me know if you have any left-over beer or whiskey...good for the soul, and all that noise!


;)Holla' If You Hear Me!!!;)
