Outside my window....There is still lots of snow. I'm ready for spring. How much longer?
Happenings of the day.... Well got up this morning to girls in my bed. They heard knocking on the window. Then I drove to Perkins in the snow slushy roads. Trying to get home to have dinner at my Dad's and moms. Well at 6 we headed over and rounded the corner there was tons of cars there. Yes a suprise FORTY party. Lots of people there. We had a great time. Got lots of neat gifts. One was a suprise girls weekend with my best friend Denise. Two A quilt from Katie that she sewed herself. Third a scrapbook from Deb (mom). It made me cry.
Well it has been a long day I will go into more details tomorrow when I have more time.
Praying Bubba and the crew stay safe and get lots of rest.
Have a blessed day.

Outside my window...There is about six inches of s...
Outside my window...There is about six inches of snow and who knows how think the ice is under it. It is still snowing. Will be til about 10 tonight.
I am creating...I am still working aon a scarf for Jamey. I should of been finished, but I have had a lot of distractions. I only have 10 more rolls so should be finished tonight.
I am hoping...and also praying for Bubba. He has been in about 5 diffeeent towns already today. He has got a lot of electric back on. Busy Busy. God please let the whole crew be safe as they are helping others.
Around the house...We have watched movies all day. Tryin to stay away from the news. Showing the kids on the map where Daddy is at the time he moves to another town. They think this is a fun game.


I am not a person to stay by myself. I truly do not like it. With Bubba gone we have to be alone. Yuk! When Bubba left he packed for 2 weeks. Every time he calls he tells me of how bad it is out there. I feel bad for those people. Bubba sent us a picture of his head, his hair was frozin, he forgot to wear his beanie out of the truck. the kids sure miss him. Jaycee was upset when she got up and Daddy wasn't in bed. She wanted to give him kisses. Then Macey started in about she needed to kiss Daddy. Being 4 and missing Daddy isn't easy. We try to explain that Daddy has to help others and that helps for a little bit.

Some things out of a 3 year olds mouth....Macey got out of the shower and Daddy was getting her ready for bed. Well she tells him her hair is uglyand he says he will make it pretty. So then he starts to comb her hair and she says "Daddy don't make my hair cry."

Then sitting at Wal-mart we was waiting on Cameron the girls in the back seat talking. Jaycee sees a man with a cowboy hat on and says there is a cowboy. Macey wants to know if he rode a horse. So they watch him as he walks up to a big truck. Both saying oh man thats his truck.

One other thing Jaycee tells Bubba God gave Mommy big boobs and Katie little ones.

This is what we get to hear daily. I'm just hoping I will remember to blog them so I can remember them all.

Have a blessed day.

Outside my window...There is lots of ice. It almost sounds like hell at times. Its amazin to me how it was so warm yesterday and freezin rain and sleet today.
I am thankful....For my husband that gets to go out to help others in this time of need. The crew that he is on working for ELS was asked to come back. When he went during Christmas to Tipton,OK his crew did great work. So the people in charge down there called to request them to come this time if the ice hit that town. Well it has and they get to leave at 4am.
I am thinking... I am so excited about turning forty. As you all know. Well I get to take this big step into my forties without a husband. I just have to keep thinking that he is out doing good. This is his calling.
I am reading....Dear John. I have read this about 4 years ago. But thought it would be a good read before I go see the movie with all my girl friends.
I am hoping...For a safe trip for Bubba and the crew. Plus for safety while they are working on the power lines.
Around the house...Well since we are all iced in it has been a inventful day. We all took naps, watched a few movies, played dress up and party, had some dinner, now in the process of gettin ready for bed. Yeah for bedtime.
One of my favorite things....is scrapbooking. I am in the process of getting all the things gathered for "Happy birthday Scrappin for a Cure." This is a fun time to get together to scrapbook and raise money for Relay for Life. Two things I love.
Here's hoping you have a blessed day.

Well today has been a eventful day. Lots of process. I learned how to do the food program at work. Yeah me. That will help April out so much.
I am feeling very blessed to. I am a monitor on a special needs bus as most people know. I have a little boy on the bus that has been on there for 3 years. This year his babysitter has been letting him try to walk once they get on the bus. He was doing well with that. One day one of his aids at school tells us that they are going to get a wheelchair for him. I thought I would cry my eyes out. I have prayed and prayed that the paperwork didn't go through. I felt if they did this it would just hold him back. Yes it is a pain in the butt if you have to carry him, but you have to make some sacrifices in this line of work. Well he has gotten better as the days have gone. On Monday we drove up to the school and the aid had him by one hand walking. Yes walking. Then today we drove up and he was standing by himself on the fence. This is why I love my job. To see these kinds with special needs bloom as the days go by is totally awesome.
Another thing that happened like this was the first day of school. A little boy who is hearing impaired has never spoken and just made noises. Well he got the hearing implants last school year. So we go to pick him up the first day of school and he runs to the bus to get on. I was waiting at the front to help him. When he gets on he looks up at me and says "hi Ms. Tammy" I just cried like a big baby. Just like I am at this moment remembering. Wow this is a blessed job.
Well today while riding on the bus out in the country of Guthrie, America I seen a live bobcat. In my almost forty years of bing in and around Guthrie I have never seen a bobcat. It was very exciting.
The experience of twins....This morning Jaycee tells me her ear hurts. So I check her for fever and find none. Well after nap Macey wakes up cryin bad complaining of her ear hurting. So I call the doctor to get them in a 4. Sister had to take them cuz I had to work. Jaycee had double ear infection and Macey had a severe double ear infection. Wow lets do everything together.
So now home to end the day. What a day.

I am working on changing the background to my blog and a new style to blog. That way I can just fill in the blanks instead of coming up with something each day. That is really hard for me. I think of stuff through out the day and then by the time I get home I forget. Don't think to write it down either.
I got a really neat e-mail today that said.....When all else is lost...dance to make your heart sing and fill the darkness around you. This is so much like life to me.
We are waiting to see if this storm hits Oklahoma. Bubba got a call at work today that in Tipton, OK they want his crew to come if there is any problems. Tipton put them on reserve. That must mean the crew does awesome work. What a proud wife that makes me. Yeah Bubba.
My mom (Deb) has volunteered to watch my kids so me and Bubba can go out Saturday night for my FORTY birthday. Now here comes the bad weather to mess that up. I am prayin that the Oklahoma weather men don't know what they are talking about.
Today was a great day. I am praying for the week to go by fast. My birthday is in 6 days. Man, I am so excited. I just can't wait.
Still working on my 40 list. I am stuck. Any ideas I'm up for suggestions.

Well today was a great day. Went to church with Katie and the girls. Then we went to Dad and Deb's house. Today wass make your own pizza day. Wow. That was lots of fun. Katie hasn't made homemade pizza before. So she got to yet again experience a new thing at the Goad house.
I am still trying to work on my forty things. I have asked everyone for some ideas because I can't think of any. I am tryin so hard. My family flipped out with the pole dancin. I don't wnat to learn pole dancin for any reason,but to get fit. Those chics have lots of muscles. Then I may be able to beat up my husband and brother.
Some of my forty things will help me get out of my box which is one of the things. The blog will also help in journaling. So I may be able to get a lot of this list done. If anyone has any ideas for me I will be thankful.
I am so excited because my best friend started her blog today. Man that's another one to help with my list cuz I will be able to keep in touch with her.
So all in all today was great.

Wow. This may be a challenge in it's own. Trying to remember to blog and work on the blog is a big one for me. I think this is awesome and will be a great experience. Man, I got to get this in order.

I went out with Laurie, Christy, Tammy ons Wendy. We had a great time. Love to watch everyone enjoy themselves was amazing.

This week was a crazy week. I was sick and off work. That sucks.

This should be a great experience. Thanks to Jennifer. I am so excited about turning FORTY. Can't wait to see what this decadebrings me.
