Gina's Ramblings

Since he is 3 months old and I have not updated this blog... I figured for now I could post some pictures



Using the power of THE LIP



OK you have my attention



That is sort of amusing



OK Mom I will admit it, you are sort of funny




And just enjoying a beautiful day on the lawn

I am tired and cranky. I will admit it. Been up since 4 am Grady slept until 6.

got a lot accomplished today though got Alex an appointment for his hearing aid to be readjusted. Got our insurance changed. Though we changed over to our homeowners policy they STILL had everything at the rental address. But the great news out of that is we changed counties. Our insurance rates took a nosedive :) LOVE IT. Almost cut our vehicle rates in half. Got our water delivery set up. Made lots of call backs etc.
I am however headed upstairs to soak in my tub (which I LOVE the size of!) and go to bed.

Oh I am down 3 more pounds and Grady is up a pound!

Each of my childrens middle names are very special. Each named after someone in the family.
Our son Grady John Park, he carries the name John after my father who passed away 5 years ago today.
I remember the day vividly. I talked to him that morning chatting about this and that. And how he joked about how dangerous this job he was working was. But he said he would be fine. I got the call later on that night saying he had an accident on the job and he died. I remember just turning numb and falling into the chair. I couldn't believe it. I wanted it to be a joke so terribly bad.
My husband was out to sea it was just me and the kids. I didn't know what to do or where to start.

There are days I watch my boys and see the fire in Gary III's eyes and I think of my father and how much he reminds me of him. I am saddened that my dad never got to meet Gary III or Grady. I know that he looks down on us and looks out for us too. I have a feeling he would be proud of me, proud of the boys. I just wish he were here to see it all some days you know?

Well I will trudge on today and try not to bite off anyones head I am a bit snippy. Been up since about 3 am and I am tired on top of it all

Well I want to apologize to all of my friends. I am letting so much slide since I have so much to keep up with here. I have let so much fall by the wayside. People who have needed my support and I have been distant to say the least. There have been times I wished I were 3 people.
I am slowly approaching something close to...well something that might pass for normalcy. That being said my mother is coming to visit next week. Hopefully a stressless adventure. I TRULY hope she is not depressed and stays awake long enough to enjoy the family. My grandfather and aunt are coming up in June! I am actually REALLY looking forward to that. Hopefully the house will be in a state of near doneness LOL
I have been exhausted I mean really exhausted. I have been falling so dead asleep it is scary. Maybe I have pushed myself too far? Done too much? who knows.
Anyway even though it is mothers day I have to go make dinner now.

well it seems like every spare moment has been spent on the house. Every spare moment and every spare dime!
We have been going non stop and my body is paying the price. I am exhausted. I fall out at the end of the day. Time is flying by I swear I blink and the day is gone.

I would love to have more time to enjoy Grady being little but it seems he is growing too fast and I blink and miss it. I haven't taken enough pictures or videos of him

Stop the world I want to get off!

All is well though honestly. Grady is 10 weeks now! wow huh? he is such a joy h really is... my sanity saver :)

OK well I have wasted enough of my day. I have to eat lunch before I forget to!
