Catching up

Hello,
Well its been forever, and I've had great intentions but as you can see that got me no where, I'm on Facebook just about daily, so I thought why reinvent the wheel, I've taken some of my post and tweeked them a bit- just to update some of you on how we've been... These are older ones so there'll be more to follow, then hopefully I can get back on track sooner or later. :O)
Hope everyone's doing great!

Wild oooooo:

is taking the night off... i'm going to watch movies with Ty and maybe dust off my knitting needles.... I know what your thinking... its going to be a pretty wild and crazy night in the williams household ....disney movies & knitting~ LOL who knows we might even throw popcorn in the mix ! :O)


Missing Arborday:

wishes I could give Arborday a hug for his birthday... he would have been 65 today- makes me a bit sad to think about it... make sure you tell the people you love how much they mean to you, they could be gone in an instant & never realized how much they were truly loved.


Over doing it... just a little:

its pretty sad when you have so much going on that you email yourself reminders.... yikes!


9/3/10

First Date:

had my first date with Scott 11 years ago at the Redfield old home days, took him to meet the whole family... well. I'm off to serve chicken...Poppy makes the best... I hope to see you all there, its a nice family atmosphere so come on up :O) Hopes everyone comes up to the Redfield Old Home Days... we're going to be selling Chicken BBQ all day Sat & Sunday and its delicious! :O)


Orientation Already??

9/1/10
will be heading out to Ty's orientation in a bit. He's so excited... thank goodness Jolynn reminded me of it yesterday . It would have looked pretty bad if I missed it, concidering I work there... good grief, its not good to have too many irons in the fire all the time... lol :O)

Update:
Ty's "Aunt" Jill had already taken him to school w/ her one day since she teaches kindergarten across the hall- so when we got there I think he was a bit nervous to see all of the other ppl. and he told me that he could just wait in the car while I took a look... Scott's taking him the first day- then I'll meet them there- I'm sure tears will be involved... from me of course :O)
September 1 at 9:12pm ·


8/30/10
Words to live by:
if at first you don't succeed, try, try again... this is my new motto... :O)


9/27/10

Yes its August:

I agreed to watch Charlie Brown Christmas with Ty tonight.. I find it amusing. .. as long as I'm snuggled in w/ Ty and some popcorn, I don't care what we watch... too bad Scott can't join in... though I don't think we'd be watching that if he was. :O)


Happy birthday Mr. Williams We love you!
8/25/10
had a whirl wind of a day- but at least Ty & I were able to go see Scott for a bit for his birthday~ he's 35 years young today! :O)


Conway you better watch out...
8/23/10

August 22 at 10:52am


Provident Living: Love it!

loves being so self relient.. but holy cow I'm up to my eyeballs in produce- shredding zucchini, boiling beets, cutting corn off the cob to freeze, cooking rhudabega (if I even spelled it right) pro
cessing peaches & don't forget the tomatoes :O) I think we'll have a BLT for dinner.
August 20 at 3:19pm

Write millions of peaches... peaches for me.... peaches come in a can... they were put there by a man, in a factory doooooooooooooown town. Can you tell what I'll be canning for while? :O)
August 17 at 4:34pm

Awww.... .

I realized what a great big brother Ty would be tonight as I got to snuggle my newest nephew... poor Liam didn't have a chance! Aunt Adja took over and got her baby fix... Ty's got it in his head that we're going to have a "boy baby and a girl baby" someday & I didn't have the heart to break it to him ... anyone know whe...re I could find a couple? Just Kidding... :O)See More
August 15 at 8:15pm


So nice:
Its beautiful outside- just a touch of fall in the air... Its nice to have Scott home on a Saturday morning too... These new hours are working out well for us, and tonight - we're going on our date to celebrate our anniversary- its only been since Valentine's since the last one, I think we're due. :O)
August 14 at 8:47am

August 13 at 4:53pm

Turning the "Me to We"

Mrs. Williams 8 years ago today... It’s truly amazing how love can overcome so many things. We've been through so many obstacles together but I wouldn't want anyone else supporting me through it all. Scott is truly amazing and he's given me more than I ever thought was possible. Happy Anniversary Mr. Williams~ here’s to many more! :O)
August 10 at 2:07pm

Time to clean out?

I found medicine in the bathroom cabinet last night that I haven't taken in about 8 yrs.. you know what this means.... I moved it from Blossvale, to Florence, to Blossvale (again) and to Redfield- good grief... Its time to hoe out!!!! :O)
July 30 at 7:05pm

what a keeper:

came home not feeling well. Ty's so sweet... he just went and picked me flowers :O)
July 27 at 10:57am

Mother's Intution... Belive it...

There is something about a mother's intuition- I felt like Ty was going to get sick and that he hadn't been in a while... sure enough he now has a temp of 102 - suppose there's something to listening to your gut.
July 24 at 10:34pm

HGTV... take me away... you know instead of Calgon. lol


love for someone to come reorganize and decorate my house- like one of those shows on HGTV- but since I have about 0% chance of that happening. I'll keep plugging along. It a nice rainy day to do it :O)
July 24 at 10:21am

Blueberry picking:

Each year we go picking berries, its usally Ty, Poppy, Aunt Jude & me... I started when I was expecting Ty and ever since he's gone along... when he was little I'd put him in the stroller and he'd reach for the bush and just eat away - he LOVES them needless to say I can't quit eating these stinkin' blueberries & all I can think of is... "your turning Violet, Violet" :O) We might have to go picking again!
July 21 at 4:50pm

Stop to smell the Roses:

Came home and took a nap, which is something I never do, now I'm on the porch enjoying the beautiful weather & watching Ty ride his wheeler while Scott works out. I Didn't get anything too productive done and its almost Monday again... but who cares :O)
July 18 at 6:20pm

Blond moment???

I was in the bathroom getting ready for work and spraying my hair when all of the sudden I thought to my self huh, it smells like Scott in here when I finished spraying the daylights out of my hair I realize that I'd just did it with his deorderant not my hairspray, needless to say I shouldn't have an trouble w/ BO t...oday. I think I need to start going to bed just a wee bit earlier :O) I hope you laughed I sure did.See More
July 16 at 6:54am


"BAYCATION"

I'm so sad that about heading back to work tomorrow.... what a great week we had. Ty wants to know when our next "baycation will be cause he likes when mommy watches him" .... did I mention how much I love that kid? :O)
July 11 at 5:56pm


Favorite Scripture:

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ecclesiastes 3:1-8 :o)
July 10 at 10:50am

Liam Anthony is on his way-

it looks like I might be an aunt again today... Josie Posie is in Oneida :O)
July 9 at 8:51am

Lunch & a Bargin... what a day!

Had lunch at the Franklin today with a dear friend, then went to Khols.. listen to this ... I SAVED $182 and spent $25, I did have $44 of store credit, but even still that's not too shabby :O) The lady behind me in line was stunned... she said "Did you only just pay $25!" Part of me actually felt guilty buying a few things... but then I thought twice about it... and for that price I couldn't go wrong- my things are so old even the Salvation army wouldn't want them... it was about time :o)
I thought it was totally impressive... the secret... I had Khol's cash to spend since I made purchases the other day... so I had "free" money to spend, plus the $44 in store credit- becuase I had to return a few things tha...t were too big (go figure) then I had a $5 off and a 15% off everything- plus everything I bought was totally on sale, I had some shirts that wer only $2 the most "expensive" shirts were 6.99 and a pair of jeans that were $21 they were org. $45- I felt so smart- and like I pulled one over on someone, but I was totally legit. :O)
July 7 at 6:20pm

Vacation:

We spent a lovely, totally relaxing week off & stayed home & at the creek it was awesome, We fished, read, did whatever we wanted... can't wait till next time :O)
July 2 at 5:25pm

Random Dreams


Do you ever wake up and think to yourself.... where did that dream come from... I dream of the most bizarr and random things & people, at least its always interesting though, I'm never bored when I sleep.. :O)
June 26 at 9:04am

Lonely:

Misses Scott- We've both been coming and going like two ships passing in the night this week. I did get to see him while he brought my spare keys to me... locking the keys in the car wasn't any fun, but hey, at least I was able to see him for a moment.
June 24 at 6:49pm

Rainy Day:

Thinks today would be a great day to stay home and snuggle in with a good book, but that's not in the cards today- Have a great day everyone.
June 24 at 5:57am

To the Penny:

finds it slightly amusing that years ago we never even bothered to balanced our checkbook... now, I get irritated over it being off a penny... one stinkin' penny... do you think I can find it.... I suppose that's being a bit of a perfectionist. :o)
June 15 at 4:30pm

YIKES... I NEED A BREAK!

ladies & gentleman, what I need is a vacation.... I just answered my phone " Camden Scho...." before I realized its Saturday, I'm home and I can simply say "hello" when my sister calls... needless to say she had a good laugh, as did I. :O)
June 5 at 12:11pm

To laugh or not to laugh, that is the question:

Okay I'm pretty sure that this isn't the song that I want Ty singing... but then again, he is making his daddy proud... " Rain makes corn, corn makes wiskey, wiskey makes my baby, feel a little frinsky" :O) Not exactly a typical song a four year old might sing... I loved how he said FRIN-Skay though... such a cutie!
June 3 at 5:01pm


Yes, I'm a girl:

Ty's having a tantrum...I'm ignoring him and he says "Mommy... I'm going to call you a little girl" LOL - I bet the neighbors think I'm killing him the way he's screaming- The weekend of staying up late is catching up to him- Lucky me. :O)
June 1 at 7:06pm


Rooster... what rooster... we have Turkeys!!!


Woke up to a turkey calling its ever- livin- head off RIGHT ouside our window... (for a minute I thought it was Scott trying to get one before work)- The birds are happily cherping, the geese are in the front yard by the pond w/ their newest arrivals & I feel like I live in the Wild Kingdom. LOL :O)
May 29 at 7:32am

Ty's growing up--- One more milestone-- Bike riding with out training wheels!!!

I didn't know whether to cheer or cry as I watched Ty ride his bike w/o training wheels... I must have been a late bloomer- I didn't realize that it was time... this is all going much too fast-
May 26 at 6:03am

Wow!!

wishes I was as coordinated as the man I saw riding his bike down 69 w/ no hands... but wait, it gets better... he was texting... if I attempted that I'd be in a body cast. :O)
May 21 at 6:23am

Fridge: Wrong profession??

Should forget any thought of becoming a teacher... I should become a refridgerator repair man... $76 for the 1st half hour $16 for every 15min there after... just evaluating my options. :o)
May 18 at 3:21pm

AHHH... Fresh Country air:

Call me a country girl- but I think freshly plowed fields look beautiful.. :O)
May 16 at 3:19pm

Mothers Day:

Is greatful for my miracle... for answered prayers and that Mother's Day isn't a day I cry sad tears for anymore.
May 9 at 7:24pm


Ty's Turtle:

The Turtle has been found... I don't know how... must have been divine intervevention... :O)
May 8 at 10:06am

has a turtle the size of a silver dollar missing in action somewhere in my house... might as well be a needle in a hay stack... that should smell REAL good in a week or so!
May 7 at 4:37pm

what do you feed a turtle? Scott brought one home the size of a silver dollar that was roaming around in their parkng lot for Ty- we tried a few things &Ty said maybe the bugs are too big for his dinner & that I should cut them up for it. I'm drawing a line there people I refuse to become a personal chef to a turtle- ...We're trying to talk him into putting it in our pond.... :O)See More
May 7 at 6:17am


Allergic Reaction:

Is home with Ty for a bit... maybe the day depends on the Dr.'s apt... he's having an allergic reaction- Poor kid :o(
Yeah, it was a Blackfly- he woke up w/ both eyes swollen shut- it was pretty severe- they did bloodwork and put him on prednisone for 5 days. He's getting tons better though. :o)


Logs, logs everywhere!

Wishes I had a magic wand so that the the load of logs sitting in our driveway was cut and stacked... poor Scott, he works so hard then has to spend all night doing that.
April 20 at 7:43pm

Child Abuser...

A conversation Ty & I had the other day... Me: "Ty, if you do that one more time I'm going to PUNISH you." TY: "No you won't 'cause that's hitting, and hitting is bad"... Apparently he confused Punish with Punch... Thank goodness he's not in school, that's all I'd need is for him to go around telling ppl I punched h...im instead of punished him. :O) It made me chuckle, hope it did you too.See More
April 16 at 8:16am

Early Bird Gets the Worm

Don't tell Scott but I think I actually like getting up super early... leaves a bit of "me" time in the morning... Have a nice day everyone
April 14 at 6:25am

Ah Ha Moment:

Is slowly learning that my life isn't about pleasing others.... took me 30 years to learn it... probably another 30 to perfect it. I'll get there. :O)
April 12 at

Movie Night/ "Bad" Dream

Watched the Blindside with Scott last night... what a great movie! then I had a bad dream that my soon to be piano got here & was an organ... who besides myself would have a bad dream about a darn piano? :O)
April 12

New Floors:

Our new floor is nearly complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you tell I'm a bit excited :O)

Adja Turns 30 !!!

Is excited for my date tonight with Scott for my birthday... to think... I'm going to stay up and
out past 10... do you think I'll turn into a pumpkin? :O) We went to see riverdance at the Stanley in Utica.

April 8 at 5:00pm

I found a piano! :O) The only bad thing is that its almost 2 hrs away and weighs a ton. One of my "now that I'm 30 goals" is almost ready to be checked off :O)
April 6 at 7:16pm

Ribbit Ribbit... well sorta:

Heard the peepers last night... they're my favorite :O)
April 2 at 12:29pm

Birthday Celebration:

Had a great night with Scott & Ty :o) Ty's too cute... he's more excited about my birthday coming than I am... cute little duffer is counting down the days & told me that I needed to take him to Kinney's so he could get me a "big funny card, so I can be surprised" man I love that kid... his daddy's not to bad either. :O)
March 29 at 8:31pm

Orkin Man:

Its spring... you know wha that means - We're being over run by LaDy bUgS where are they all coming from??? :o)
March 23 at 8:25pm


My way of thinking like it or not:

I think you shouldn't spend money you don't have... that's all I have to say about that! :O)

March 22 at 5:27pm


Do, Re, Mi, Fa,Sol, La, Ti, Do
Woops!

So today I learned singing should only be done alone in the car or shower... It sounds better that way.... I had major flash backs of high school today... man I wish I wan't such a wuss... (is that how you spell it? ) anyhow... you get my point. :O) I was asked to play Adi in the The 10 Virgins play, it is absoulutely beautiful and well, since I can't say no, I said yes, thinking it would be good for me to overscome my fears of singing and improve my talent... so I don't loose it... well, needless to say it didn't work, I totally clammed up- and sounded like an injured animal. Darn it... maybe in my next 30 years???? Hey isn't there a country song about things like this LOL

An Update

Well, it seems like forever since I've posted anything. So, where to start. We had nice holiday; we actually all had colds in different stages so we didn't wind up attending all the family obligations. It was disappointing not to see everyone, but we're hoping to catch up after all the hussle & bussle of the holidays quiets down and we are all better.

For those of you who have been wondering about Scott getting the Sheriff's position, we ended up getting the answer Christmas eve. We arrived home about 10:30 at night only to check our mail and discover that Scott had a "no" letter waiting for him. We were stunned since it seemed all along that he was being encouraged along the way & that he had been the investigators first choice- he then submitted all of his names to his superior and something just wasn't meant to be. Like I said we were disappointed, but are trying to keep the mindset that everything happens for a reason, and perhaps we are being spared from something awful. You just never know about unanswered prayers. It seems like work is picking up for him at the Sawmill, which is wonderful, and although his employers was sad for him- they were so happy not to lose him there.
Ty is doing well. He's getting so big. He's been cracking me up with some of the things he's said lately.
We gave him gum to chew on the way to church, and he said...

Ty- I swallowed my gum
Us- Why- you shouldn't do that
Ty- Well, I kept chewing and chewing and it wouldn't go away, so I just swallowed it.

We laughed... Thinking about it, no one ever explained to him that gum is just for chewing and won't go away. I suppose he thought it was like any other food.

Here's a couple more.
Me- Ty I love you all the way to the moon and back
Ty- I love you all the way to the mountains.
(That just melted my heart. )

Every Sunday our Bishop at church passes our Tootsie Pops to the kids, Ty went to get one last week - Which we call Fast Sunday- for those of you who don't know; its where we skip 2 meals and contribute the price of those meals to the needy- Well, the kids don't really do that, but they go with out the extras... like tootie pops that week. So, when Ty returned to me after not getting his tootsie pop he said, "I can't have one, its quarter to Sunday". I suppose he doesn't understand the difference between Fast Sunday & time :O)

He also has grown right up and has started Primary at church. He's been in the Nursery... its for children 18 mo to 3 and since he's almost 4 holy cow!!! He gets to move up into Primary and be in my Sunbeam class. He was super excited and for Christmas we even bought him new shirts and a couple ties so he can be "like daddy" here is a picture... I just love it.
