Sweet Maggie

Maggie Amelia Rose Rogerson left us on April 28, 2009 at the age of 8 months. She touched so many lives for someone so little. I never met her but I will always remember her.


Such a sad day. I want to wrap my arms around Kelli and tell her how sorry I am. I want to wrap my arms around my little ones and hold on forever.

Can't think....

I am at a loss of words.


Why? Why? Why?

I have a cold!

Enough said!!

Questions...

So much has gone on lately with family and friends that it makes me question life and other things. First there is is Kellie and her sweet family. Her husband Mark lost his battle with cancer this weekend and left Kellie with three sweet boys. Mark was only 33 years old. Why did he have to get cancer and die? I know that God had other plans for him, but why take him and leave Kellie alone with the boys. I continue to pray for Kellie and her family. I wish there was something I could do other than prayers but this is all I can do for now.

Also my step daughter called me this week. She was worried that I wasn't supporting her upcoming wedding anymore. Her future husband did something stupid recently and now her family are not supporting the wedding. I have told her that I will support her if this is what she wants to do, but I want her to think before the wedding. Her future husband will have to earn my respect again. I am fairly certain she will go through with the wedding.. which is just over one month from when she has a baby. I want her to do what is right dor herself and I will support whatever decision she makes. If she does decide to go through with the wedding, then I will be with her... even if her dad isn't.


a bit of good news came this weekend... my neice sent me a picture text of a ring! She is now engaged to a great guy. They are planning on a wedding a year from May which will give my brother (her dad) time to get home from Iraq.

Sad news

My online friend's husband passed away today. This is someone I have never met in person but my heart is breaking for all of them. His illness and death has affected so many people. We were praying for a miracle to happen, but it looks like God had other plans for Mark in Heaven.

May God bless Kellie and her family and watch over them during this time.


I am in tears.

Successes

We have had some minor successes in various things this week.

First Kaitlyn hit the ball three times at practice. This is her first year playing softball and has had problems hitting the ball when it is pitched to her. Monday she was able to hit the ball three times in a row!

Kaitlyn has had problems in school by getting warnings (mainly for talking). When we ask her about it, she says she gets in trouble mainly because she was telling someone else to stop talking. So this week I told her that if she can make it the week without a warning, I will give her $5. So far she has made it all week without a warning. She only has two more days to go, however she won't be at school tomorrow because she got sick tonight.

Will has been staying dry at daycare for the most part! He has even been napping without a pull up. Of course today he had an accident, but one accident is better than every single time.

I have been wanting to get the kids in bed at a decent time but have had problems getting them to understand it. Last night I told them at 8 that they had to be in bed soon and needed to start picking up toys. At 8:30 I told them again, but since I was busy with something I didn't get up to make them. At 9 I got them to pick up the toys and finally got them in bed. Well tonight I got Kaitlyn in bed at 8:30 and Will went to the bedroom with Don around 8:45. I feel like that is an accomplishment.

Now to keep it up!

Prayers

Tonight, I am praying for my online friend Kellie and her husband Mark. Mark has cancer and is not doing well. I pray that God gives them all the strength to make it through this time in their lives. I pray that Kellie has the strength she needs for her three little boys. Please be with them during this time.
