• Sunday, November 23, 2008 - Thanksgiving this year
I had planned on having Thanksgiving at my house this but plans have changed. The home health nurse came to visit my papaw today. She told my aunt that my papaw is in the last stage of copd. A week ago, they had to take him to the hospital because he was having chest pains and his bp was 63/32. He didn`t have a heart attack but it was his lungs. He has been really weak since. He is not breathing good and it working against his heart. I know my time with him is getting shorter now. He turned 94 years old in October. He says, he is ready to go to be with mamaw. He isn`t able to come down to my house and we are afraid it would be way too much on him to try. This will probably be our last Thanksgiving with him. I want to cherish every moment with him.
I still need to plan out the menu. When my mamaw cooked, she had to make sure that she fixed everyones favorite dish. She always fixed way more than what we ate. Christmas to.
I am almost done with my Christmas shopping. Just a little more to go. Since the kids have went back to school I will have to add a couple more gifts to the list. Sammy`s teacher I have known her since we were little and I think she will be easy to pick something up for her but Hannah`s teacher I really don`t know her. I think I will head to Nana`s gift shop for their gifts.
I am a stay-at-home, Christian homeschooling mom. My husband and I have been married for 19 years. We have been blessed with three kids,ages 18, 10 and 8. We live on a family farm and have several animals. I`m just a simple farm gal, who loves her God, family, friends and life.
