Beauty Comes in All Shapes and Sizes

On March 20,2009 Kerry entered her first beauty contest. I suggested it of course and she decided she wanted to try it. We bought the dress on cr@igslist "cheap". It was a really good deal. She did a lot of practicing and sometimes with a coach. She wanted to make herself proud. She did a great job. I started her morning off by making her breakfast. she went to school a half day and I took the day off. I picked her up at noon. Her Mom was there, she had brought Kerry lunch. We went to Gallatin to Belk's where she had her makeup done. We then went to Carolyn's to get her hair fixed, then we head home to chill and then get dressed. Kerry was # 31 out of 43 girls. She had the time of her life. She didn't place but came out of the holding room grining and said" I am doing this next year". Too funny! She did great on stage, very poised, she looked like she had being doing pageants all her life. When they went abck on stage in groups of 5 she had taken her shoes off! Her feet were hurting! LOL!! I told kelly you can sure tell that Kerry is his child because comfort is all she cares about! If she had been mine, a little longer in pain would be ok! I am so proud of Kerry! A year ago you would have never caught her anywhere near a beauty pageant much less participating. Congrats Kerry on making a new step in life. I am so glad you had fun! Kerry

The make-up
As you all know, I loved being in the beauty contests I was in. I have tried to instill in kerry that no matter your size, you can still be beautiful!

I watched the love shine through.

Most Sunday’s at church, I have the pleasure of watching a young mother and her toddler during the services. I have watched the Mother grown from a child her son’s age into the woman she is today. Makes me feel a little old. Katie and her husband were married shortly after Kelly and I. Their family grew while ours didn’t, but I am happy for them. Kyler is the sweetest little boy, when he wants to be… That’s what is Nonnie says anyway. He’s only been sweet when I am around him. Kyler was in my VBS class, so I have been around him quite a bit. Anyway, back to my story… Kyler was playing with his tractor during the sermon and waving at me, I was waving back to him. Shame on me, I know I should have been listening to Bro. Tom but, Kyler is more interesting. Sorry Bro. Tom, I am a sucker for little kids… Kyler then turned to his Mom, Katie and sat in her lap. He began rubbing her neck and then he started touching her face. It was soooo sweet! All I could think was will I ever be able to have that situation? Am I jealous? In a way, yes. Does it make me not to want to be around kids? Heck NO!!! I love kids, always have and always will! I have enough friends will little ones that I don’t think I will ever lack for love from a child.
Back to Katie and Kyler… Kyler looked at his Mom with such love and adoration that I began to tear up. Then Kyler decided he wanted to love on his Daddy. He moved to Kevin’s lap and loved on him a while but quickly moved back to his Mom. After services while we were leaving church Kyler and his Nonnie were walking out the same time we were. He said Hi Ms. Angie, I said hi back. I told him he sure was sweet during services and I loved how he was loving on his Mommy. Of course, he looked at me like I was speaking another language. I pray that one day, Kelly and I will be blessed enough to adopt, soon, I really hope. I want to experience the love that Katie and Kyler shared for those few moments.

TODAY'S BLESSING

What the Lord Is Saying Today
February 27, 2009. My voice will be heard throughout the city. They will hear and obey. Rivers of living waters will flow freely. Your dry land will be watered. The desert will bloom again. The animals and even the rocks will praise Me in this hour. Children will come forth skipping and hopping. Their joy will be loud and they will not hold back their passion for Me. The King will ride through the streets with His chariot and angels assisting and accompanying Him. Yes, even the whole world will know of it and rejoice. Darkness will flee away in His presence. The ones who listen carefully to His voice and obey, these are the ones upon whom enormous favor will fall. A new order will be established. Glory to God. His presence will bring immense glory. You will know Him and He you. He loves you.Genesis 26:5 For Abraham listened to and obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.

February 27, 2009. You are worrying about things that are out of your control. You will never be able to control this because it is the actions of someone else. You feel enormous guilt because you think your actions helped cause the problem. You are right, but it is too late to go back and change that. You have asked forgiveness from Me, and from the one that you are worrying about. Now you must forgive yourself. You have allowed Me to change you, and you can also do this through Me. You forgive others you must forgive yourself. Pray for the one now in trouble, and leave it with Me. Lay it down.James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

Emotions

Where do I begin? I have been on an emotional roller coaster for about 2 weekes now. Why you may wonder? Well, My Granny's birthday was or would have been 2/3. My Uncle Don's birthday would have been 2/11 and today would have mine and Kelly's baby's 2nd birthday. I have been wondering if I should call the Dr. and ask what the sex of the baby was. All I asked when I went to my 6 week check up after my DNC was why did we lose the baby. Dr. said the baby had a chromosomal defect. He never offered to tell me the sex, I guess if I had asked then I would know. Would that be pouring salt back on that wond that will never heal or would knowing help my wound heal?
I know that God has plans for me to me a Mom. Heck, I am a Mom, a step-mom, but still I am a parent. I love being a step-mom and yes, I would give everything and anything to have my own bio-child but, that will never happen. yes, we will adopt, when? I have no idea. Kelly is still unemployed and what agency will let us adopt with only one income?
I think the lady that had in-vitro and had 8 babies should give me one of her babies! Just kidding! Maybe....
My heart is still heavy. With all the love that I have in my life I know that I am blessed and will always miss my baby and 2/12 will always be a sad day for me. Sweet baby till me meet again in heaven, know that your Mommy and Daddy miss and love you. I know that Granny and Nanny are taking good care of you. Happy Birthday!

Acid Reflux

As many of you know my Mom calls me a hypo. I am most of the time sick. Legitimately, I am sick. I just found out that I have Acid Reflux. I have not had any symptoms except severe pain in my upper left quadrant of my torso. I have had this pain since 11/29/08. I know this date well because I had to miss my 20 year High School reunion.

This past Tuesday I had to have an upper and lower GI scope. Monday I had to drink and eat clear liquids. Now, tell me how can green and orange jello be clear? Monday nite I had to drink magnisium citrate ( gaged on it) and then I had to drink gatorade with mirilax. Can you say yuck-o! I had to force myself not to throw it back up! I don't think it tasted THAT bad, I think it was just the thickness of it. Plus I had to take 4 ducolax. I was pretty much cleaned out. if you know what I mean! I barely slept all night, I ended up sleeping on the couch.

Tuesday morning Kelly and I went to the hospital for my tests. I first had to stop by admitting because they wanted to get blood from my turnip. They asked if I could pay the $700.00 copay or would I liked to be billed. I sweetly smiled at the cute girl behind the desk and asked her to bill me while Kelly was standing behind me swallowing on his tounge. We (I) quitely walked off. Kelly was saying all kinds of cuss words- words I can't put here about how much this was costing. I quickly reminded him that I was the only one working and I knew how crappy it was that it was gonna cost us $700.00 to find out why I was hurting so bad. He hung his head low and walked behind me like all husbands should do! (fotflmao){falling on the floor laughing my a** off- for those who have no idea what I just wrote} So we head back to same day surgery and the nurse took me to my room and made Kelly take one of those buzzers they give you when you go to a resturant and wait for a table. No Kelly, you don't get peanuts to eat and drop the shells on the floor while waiting for me to get prepped.
A nurse comes in to take all of my info and to make sure I am who I say I am. No Ma'am, I'm not Angie, I just like to have things shoved down my throat and up my hinney! Sounded kinda kinkey didn't??? I hope Kelly doesn't read this, I'll get into some seriuos funny stuff for that comment! Any who.... Another nurse comes in to start an IV. I tell her, you only have one chance at this so get it on the 1st time. She laughed. I wasn't kidding! She 1st says she sees a vein in my arm but isn't sure she can get it, again, I remind the ugly nurse that she only gets one try. That ugly nurse looks at me again and laughs. I sit up and give her the Karen look and say, look here missy, I ain't a kidding you. You get 1 try and 1 try only, if you mess it up, you will have to get another nurse in here and let her try. I ain't playing with ya! She looks at me like my head had started spinning, wipes my hand with alochol and inserts the IV. And it hurt like crap. But, it only took her 1 try! Of course I hollered. If you were wondering! I am sure the nurse that was getting my info thought I was a total heifer but when you (me) are hurting and someone hurts you (me) even more, you (me) are not a very nice person. So I ask the nurse that is making sure I am who I pretend I am, if the scope is going to make my throat hurt and if it's going to hurt when I poop. She says no sweetie, they are going to be gentle with you.

Kelly finally is allowed to come back to my room and we watch TV while I am trying to figure out how I can change him to look like me. My brain starts working hard but my powers have faded since the age of 13. No I couldn't change people to look like someone else but, that would be cool huh? The surgery nurse comes to get me and the elevator that we were trying to take is stuck between floors. I look at her and said, if that I been us, I would have totally freaked out on you, she smiled and said, I would have been freaking out with you. Nice.... We finally arrive to the surgery room and my Dr. arrives, all smiles.... Yeah, he's not the one having a light crammed down his throat and up his hinney of course he is smiling. So they start prepping me and were talking about Sunday's Titan game and how they blew it. The next thing I know my Dr. is telling me he will see me in the recovery room. WOW!!! I didn't feel a thing. Now, the thing they put in my mouth to make sure I didn't bite the scope wasn't too fun, but other than that, it was cool. the gas they put in my belly- that was so not cool. It's not lady like for a woman to have to pass gas, but man, I had too. My belly felt like it was going to expolde! I was a fart'n away, in the bathroom of course. Kelly was saying Oh my Gosh, the entire time... I had to luagh, now he knows how Kerry and I feel!
Finally the Dr. comes in and tells me he thinks I have Acid Reflux and I tell him I have not had any symptoms. He then says, a lot of people don't have the symptoms- its known as a silent disease. Nice....Well, it's been silent for me except my pain on my side. Thanks stomach acid!
So there ya go! I really am sick.... I Am Not a HYPO!!!!!
