ITS SHOW DAY

My son had been raising a pig for the FFA. Well this past Wed. March 25, 2009, was show day. He finally is done. As he puts it. Ill be honest I don't know much bout this stuff. Other than for it being Jacobs 1st show. He did great. And the judge thought so as well. Unfortunately he didn't place. But at least he tried. And I'm very proud of him for that. He hated the entire experience. Or so he said. He wants to show a sheep next year. I'm all for him showing again. But he just doesn't realize how much work it takes to show sheep. After we sit down and talk it through, if he still wants to Ill back him 120%. Anyways, I heard the judge say only thing wrong with his pig was he was to slender. I kept telling his dad that the pig needed more pounds, but since I have never done this thing before and the fact that I'm a female, I didn't know what I was talking bout. Guess I did. lol. So now off to the slaughter house Shadow goes. lol. I'm not sure how Jacob will handle that. He said hes just fine with it. But its different to talk about it. But when your pig is actually on your plate in front of you, its a different story. Well see. The worst part of the show is it took place on the day the cold front came through. It was cold and extremely rainy. It was funny though. It rained all the way up to the time Jacob came out to show is pig. It had started raining bout 11:30 - 12:00 and stopped at 4:00. Just as soon as Jacobs group came out. I have a couple of pictures. They aren't very good. I took em with my phone. and had a hard time getting good pics with them moving around the arena. lol.

My Beautiful Daughter (prt 1)

My daughter is such a beautiful child. Well woman now. She is 20 something. Maybe if I don't give her exact age I wont feel very old. lol. I have set and listened to other parents complain bout what awful thing there child is into or doing now. You know drugs, drinking, sneaking out, norm teenage stuff. This isn't a good mother thing to admit to but I tried to talk to her for years to get her belly button pierced. And she wouldn't do it. lol. I always tell people "The worst thing she ever did was convert to Latter Day Saints. (Mormon)" So I have to say that I have been very lucky. You cant meet her and not love her. One of my ex-boyfriends mother tried to years and years ago. But she just couldn't hold out. (She didn't want to get attached to another child and have another child tore out of her life, so it had nothing to do with me or Niki) This lady wouldn't talk to Niki look at her nothing. I had to work one day and she went to this lady's house with my ex one day. After an hour this lady was hooked. She was so in love with Niki that she was always calling me wanting to do something with her. It broke my heart when we finally broke up and she wasn't going to see Niki again.

My daughter was born with such a sweet heart. Even as a child she cared bout everybody. Weather she knew em or not. She was bout 4 or 5. We were taking our evening walk and there was something on TV bout the Ethiopians (on how hungry they were and stuff). Normally she always ate everything on her plate but that night she just wouldn't. So I finally let her get away from table so we could take our walk before it got to late. Anyways we were walking down the road and she looks up at me, interrupting our convo at the time, and asked if I could send her plate and rest of the left overs to Ethiopia? I just looked down at her and almost cried. I tried to explain to her why I couldn't. She would not take my answers. She just knew that her plate of food would stay edible and would feed everybody that was hungry. lol. How do you explain to a 4 yr old it just doesn't work that way? I ended up having to lie to her and telling her that I would send em the left overs but she had to finish her plate. lol. she was more than happy to. As long as all the Ethiopians was going to eat the next day.
She just has such an awesome heart. Always concerned with everyone else. She wants to help everyone. You love her 1st time you meet her. You cant help it. I know what your thinking Of course this crazy woman is going to say this bout her own child. But you can talk to anyone that has meet her and they will tell you the same thing.
I do have more to say bout her but it will have to wait.

I'm not sure why....

Howdy, I am new to this. And really my daughter talked me into doing this. I kept asking her whats the purpose? Who wants to read about my boring life? I still feel that way. But thought I would go ahead and give it a try. Well I guess first of all I should tell a lil bout myself.
I am a 40 almost 41 year old. I have a wonderful daughter and son. And now a wonderful son-in-law and grandson. I couldnt ask for better kids. And until here recently I was taking care of my brother. He has BasilSquamous Cell Carcenoma.
There is nothing really exciting going on in my life right now. Well my son and grandson. But other than that.
But if anyone wants to read I will write. lol. so....
