Whoo --HOO (I Think)
I was offered a spot in the LPN program!!! Starting July 12, 2010....I feel really honored and Blessed about this. It is really hard to get in on the first try after you finish the core classes. I have heard of many that have to reapply next quarter. And others that have tried to get in a couple of times and have not made it.
So daughter #1 having a baby in Sept. daughter #2 planning a wedding in Jan. and myself starting this program which is full time next month. Lots of exciting things going on !!
Hope all is going well with you and yours.

Spring
It is beautiful spring weather here in Georgia, and I love it. The temperature is just right for me not to hot and not to cold.
We had a great vacation. Hawaii is beautiful. I enjoyed our time there, my greatest accomplishment was climbing Diamond Head. After Hawaii we were off to Australia to see Jessica. Enjoyed our time with her, and enjoyed seeing where she lives, the Church where she attends and teaches. Thankful I was able to visit Australia but would not really care for a return trip. The plane ride is just tooooooooo long!!!
So a report on being Fabulous Fifty. As I go from the beginning of year 56 Thur the middle of 56 toward 57. I feel about the same, but some of the body parts are changing. Most noticeable to me is my vision, I need my glasses ANY time I read anything or work on the computer. Next, I see more, I guess you call then lines above my upper lip. Last but not least my upper arms do not look firm any more and the grandma flab below them is starting to show. Maybe to much Information, but using this as my way to remember what happened when....
My daughter is going to have a baby!!!!! A boy!!! so excited!!!!!
My brother is about the same physically since his stroke. Still hoping and praying for improvement in his condition. I thank the Lord for the strength he gives to us!!!!!!!!
Sorry this is so random!!!!!!!!!!!!! See ya later

New year
Hi, Sitting here watching to see if the Tsunami is going to hit Hawaii ?Good news we have plans to visit there March 20th and then to visit daughter in Australia. Bad news might not be a great thing to go. We are having some strange things going on in our world. So sorry for Chili with the earthquake.
My life has pretty much been getting my brother taken care of. He was in hospital for 2 months and now been in the nursing home for a month. Trying to get SSI started and medicaid. Bunch of paper work. He has started Physical Therapy and is a little better, but still paralyzed on his left side. Any advise would be appreciated..
Our son had to come home from college, the work load was just to much for him, at least he made it 1 semester and enjoyed it!! Guess our empty nest if not empty anymore. We will adjust again. And that is my life for now :)

HOLIDAYS
So where was I? Had my 56th birthday and survived it rather well.
Had a good Thanksgivings with kids and grandkids. About 9 pm that night, received a call that my 58 year old brother had a stroke. It is soooo sad, my emotion are off the chart these days. He has no use of his left side. At this point about all he can do is feed himself. Mental he seem ok, most of the time. He has no wife, children. My sister and I are it. Please Pray for him and myself also to have the strength and wisdom to know what to do.
The good news is I passed my math for meds class with a B, and also anatomy with an A. I am finished with my core classes. Praying about trying to get it the LPN program in the summer.
Also had a good Christmas. Hope you all are doing well. Any advice, encouragment, prayer are appreciated..........Happy New Year

Is it Fall yet?
Why does it take me so long to update??? August 30, 1009
Here we are in another state getting our last child settled into college. So in this post I am going to reflect on Life Changes. I am thinking of times in my life that until I went thru it, I just did not understand. No matter how many times someone tells you about it, explains it to you, tells of there experience with it, you still will not undersand until you do it or the time comes when you go thru it. Some of the times it has happened to me.
(1)After 1st marriage and honeymoon, I lay awake one night and think "what have I gotten myself into".
(2) After the first baby that I have waited so long for. The night before I went home, I looked at the baby realize this baby is your responsibility 24 hours a day for a looooooooon time.
(3) You last child leaves home, you have anticipated, prayed for this day to come and then when it does. Another Life Change.
(4) When you parents die, you know death is a part of life and it is bound to happen but when it does. Wow life change
(5) Another one I thought of when you take your child to real school for the first time and realize that they stay there for 7 hours without you, and you do not have to hurry back to the babysitter to get them. You look as they go down that long hall with there little back pack and never look back. Life Change
When #6 left on fri. with his big sister to arrive early and register for college, I could not look and say bye without crying. The next day his father and I arrived to help him get settled in. Think I will be better today when the time comes for us to leave . Think he is ready to fly from the nest and KNOW he is TIRED of us telling him what he needs to do. Bet he will walk into his dorm and never look back.

July 10,2209
This is what is new at Fabulous Fifties, finally finished antibiotics for the pneumonia. However the next day, a tooth, really it is a crown started hurting, had to have a root canal on that to the tune of a small fortune. So on antibiotics again, go next week for a follow-up on the pneumonia.
So that is an update on me.
Dear daughter no. 3 leaves tomorrow on a plane for Austria, she will be teaching 5&6 grades for 1 1/2 to 2 yrs. So it will be a bitter sweet day tomorrow.I am excited for her, think it is a great opportunity.
Also my classes started this week, I am excited to start back and be on some kind of schedule!! Hope I can keep up, since i will be out 2 days the 2nd week for vacation...
Nothing ever materialized on selling the house, so we continue to enjoy it and also declutter.
Hope all my blogger friends are enjoying the summer. I check up on you all almost every night!!
