Cleaning house

I needed to give the main level a good cleaning.  The house is feeling so dirty.  Eating time is a constant clean-up.  Baby Annie is so messy right now.   She wants to feed herself and half the food goes on the floor.  I need to give the floors a good vaccuming I needed to clean.  I couldn't stand it.   It a daily task cleaning up after the kids.  Tasha and Bridger are both so busy right now.   I have hardly seen Bridger in the last 3 weeks since they moved in.  Bridger is working long hours and going to school to finish his masters degree.  He also has to travel out of town he was gone four days last week to Alabama.  Tasha really does need help with the kids.  I don't know how she would do it with out our help right now.  It felt good to get the house clean.  I know it won't last bit feels good for a short time.  I was going to Karlee J's cheer concert this afternoon but I'm not feeling well.  I ache all over,  I've been fighting a big this week.  I needed to get out of the house.   I need a break from the grankids  I have watched th it this week.  I came

To get a Pedicure &y nails done.  It feels

So good.  

Natasha's Birthday

Our youngest daughter celebrated her 28th birthday on Friday.  We went to lunch with Mindy and Emma, Tasha in-laws at the Cheese cake Factory.  I babysat last night so they could go out.  I have been fighting a bug this week so my energy is not up to par.  Having the three Thomas grandkids in our home 24/7 is very tiring.  I'm constantly cleaning up after them. Hope they find home soon. 

Went to church with the Chaudhry Family

Craig and I went to church with the Chaudhry family in their new Ward.  To our surprise the entire family all came and stayed for all their meetings.  So blessed that they were able to attend.  I've been praying that Ryan & Shannon would have desire to attend with us going to their new Ward is. Great start in the right direction. 

Hunting weekend

The big hunting weekend is here.  I really wanted to stay home but Craig wanted me to come up with him.  We have had such great weather for October.  I spent several days in the yard.  I hated to quit.  I did need a Break from all the grandkids.  Tasha moved in last week it is hectic with three little ones running around.  Baby Annie is so cute.  Craig wanted me to cook for them and that I did.  I cook some good meals.  Chad came up late Friday night.  We brought Michael & Cole.  They had a good day hunting Saturday.  Craigs knee did really well.  He hiked more than he has done in two years.  I worked in the yard at the lake Friday and Saturday.  I fell in the bed dead tired.  My feet hurt from standing in the kitchen cooking for over 4 hrs.   I'm ready to come home today.  I'm riding home with Chad today.  Craig is staying up with the boys another day.  They will have stayed 4 days Friday-Monday.

relief society lesson

“May these golden years be your very best years as you fully live and love and serve. And God bless those who minister to your needs--your family, your friends, and your fellow Church members and leaders.” Ezra Taft Benson " 

Remember that parents and grandparents are our responsibility, and we are to care for them to the very best of our ability.  this was a great lesson today and teaching me to look forward to our golden years.   And it's giving me food for thought of how I should take care of my mother.  Despite her bad behavior she still needs our love and concern.  I pray for answers in trying to know how to help my mother right now!!

Taking the Chaudhry Family to Church

Today we got ready for church and took Lincoln with us to attend church with the Chaudhry family in their new ward.  It was so nice to arrive and have the four boys all dressed and ready and Shannon and Ryan came as well they stayed for all three of the meetings,  just pray that they will keep going. I'm so happy today I've been praying that Shannon& Ryan would have a desire to attend church with their kids maybe finally that time has come.  It's a good start in the right direction.  The ward was very friendly today the young men's president came right up to all three of the boys and introduced himself and took them to their Sunday school classes today so they had no chance of sneaking out like they did at my ward.  Lincoln went to primary with Landon.  I really did enjoy our relief society lesson today it talked about caring for the elderly in the church and preparing for the golden years.  Craig and I are there hard to believe.  This is a great lesson for me to review.  

The soap opera continues

I was able to read mom's emails with the scammer yesterday and today I called the fraudulent department is doing investigation on mothers account and sent them a power of attorney they are supposed to be getting back with me I called mom today and told her that someone had called me from the fraudulent department I needed to know what was going on so that I would know how to help her. I pressed her to give me information, she would not confess to anything at all, said she knew nothing she flat out liied to me.   Right after we got off the phone she immediately got online and started texting her love scammer lover.   Asking him what to do to cover things up and smooth things out he told her to delete all her Gmail inbox information, everything that she had that was correspondence from him she needs to delete.  I just happen to be online and was able to read and copy and paste all their email correspondence before she actually deleted it.  This is just so crazy and so disheartened, mother boldface lied again she would not come clean and I asked her to tell me the truth so that I could help her.  i'm so saddened inside and pray to my heavenly father for guidance right now I just don't know what to do anymore.  

Very upsetting

I woke up at 1:30 in the morning so upset about my mom all of this is so disturbing to me. I got online and blocked her correspondence with this Alan William Internet scammers on her Gmail account and then again blocked her data on her cell phoneaccount luckily I have power of attorney and I'm able to do this. Today I had to call Texas Cell Net to request a disconnection for her Internet service at home.  When she finds out she is not going to be happy all Hells going to break loose I'm a fraid.    I talked to the FBI again and I've got to file a long lengthy report out online so I'll be working on the the next couple days this is just also crazy I can't believe we're having to deal with this and makes me so angry at her!!! I'm trying to keep my cool I haven't talk to her at all to let her know what happened she'll figure it out on her own sooner or later.  Tommy just letting you know that I took mothers data off her cell phone last night and put a block on the Gmail for her correspondence with Alan Williams which she doesn't know I know about and then today I called and I had to email a request to disconnect her Texas Cell Net Internet so we will be waiting for the storm to hit soon her wrath and fury!!  I reread through all of the emails last night and made copies of them it is very serious what she's been doing she has definitely been laundering large sums of money for the scammers they have been wiring money into her account she then would take the cash out of the account and rewire it to a new location that they requested.  According to the emails I read she's being held responsible for $90,000 the bank is has flaged the account and send it to the fraudulent department.  She no longer has access to this account and she's very angry about it in the emails very mad at the bank how could they do this to her!  She talks about actually lying to the people at the bank that she knew the people that had been wiring money that they owed her the money, Work that they had done for her and her husband which she is calling this Allen guy.    Note from my sister Michele:  So sorry your having to do that, I am so angry with her too! What she has been doing, she is helping the cons con other women. She is doing to others what is being done to her. Don't know how or why money became so important to mom. Money, appearances is all she cares about. It sickens me. Jon said if they don't lock her up, she needs to be put in a mental ward. If the law doesn't do it we need to do it. When she knows she is cought and she can't get out of this she is going to start with the suicide treats and wanting us to feel sorry for her. Mom has become a con artist herself.    My response:  I know it's so awful Michelle I am just sick about it all today and the worst knot in my stomach I don't like having to even deal with this.

My mother is up to no good again!!!

First thing this morning when I woke up I felt a strong prompting that I needed to go read my mothers Gmail account I had not looked at it for several months I feel bad that I'm even having to moniterher email account. I'm just sick inside and has gone from bad to worse.  She is in so deep with this Internet love scam that she doesn't know right from wrong anymore.  They have convinced her and she has been helping them she has been money laundering large sums of money from a bank account and now the bank froze on her account and has turned it over to the fraudulent department to do an investigation. from what I can tell on the email she's being held responsible for about $86,000.00.  She has just been up to no good and will not let this go I warned her year ago, this exact scenario.  She could end up getting arrested for fraudulent money laundering at 80 years old they don't care!!  i'm just sick inside about it all I don't know what to do to help her anymore she won't listen to any of us children.

Coles 14th birthday

 Cole  turns 14 years old tomorrow October 8th.  Shar invited us to come out for dinner tomorrow night but we have our temple service at the Draper Temple. So we drove down to take Cole to dinner tonight, he wanted to go to Red Robin for a hamburger and fries.  A way to much my stomach feels like it's going to pop it's a miserable feeling,  we got home just in time for Tosha and Bridger to go house shopping again we are babysitting little Aniston and Winn.  It's hard to believe that Cole is now 14 years old he has gotten so tall he is now 6 feet and a quarter inch tall he is our tallest grandson as of now.  We had a nice time visiting with him and getting to know him better he such a well mannered young man he broke his collarbone two weekends ago playing football so he's been in a lot of pain lately we've been praying for a speedy recovery for him he really loves to play football.  Is a very special grandson and her family.

Stacy and Chad are not going back to California.  Stacy wants to move back to her.  tash & bridge of been there for two months now.  So much for a clean house enjoyed it for a short time.  Tosha and Bridger are going to be living here with us until they find a home they are going to have to buckle down and find something they are out shopping tonight

Conference weekend

We had a very nice weekend watching conference all the talks were so good I had a hard time getting as much out of it as I would like because the grandkids are all very noisy.  Tasha & their three kids came up,Trisha and Buck and their three kids and Stacy & Chad with their three kids, so we had nine grandkids, we had a cabin full!! I look forward to reading & listening to talks again online.   

Our busy lives

The past two weeks of been a whirl wind for me.  Shannon and Ryan closed on their house and then we spent the rest of the week helping them move and get things moved in. It was a lot of work and they still have a lot of work to do.  I went out all day Thursday and Friday to help that weekend Craig &  I drove to the lake to have some quiet time which wasn't  quiet for a very long,  Tasha came up with her three little ones for the weekend with us while Bridger went hunting.  We had fun rhino ride to enjoy the autumn leave, they are very pretty and are dropping fast it's way too short to enjoy the season.  We were beat when Tasha left Sunday evening, we needed another day to recuperate we stayed over Monday just to clean things up.  Tuesday Telma was supposed to come clean house for me tuesday, she never showed up. I needed a good cleaning after the Chaudhry family lived here for a month all our bathroom needed a good cleaning.  I was disappointed that Telma did not show up she had forgotten our appointment.  She promised me she would be there Wednesday between one and two didn't show up till 3 o'clock I had to leave by 330 to do my temple service at the Draper Temple and Tosha was having bunco here at the house at 6:30 PM so they had to work fast to get things cleaned in time.  Tosha had a great time with her bunco friends she had 12 friends here for the evening. It felt so good when I got Home from the temple to have the house all nice and clean I would've never got it done all by myself.  Thursday I babysat kids for Tosha she had a photo shoot,  Thursday evening we started working on getting the old TV out of the basement they had Chad and Buck common left out the old tube TV.  Had stopped working and we cannot get anybody to repair, the TVs are too old now with the technology changing we've just had to buy a new TV, That was a chore for us. Craig got it All programed & iup and running, Friday morning we realize that there was a defect in the TV after we got it all situated. We had to tare it down and take it back to Costco then bring back the new TV and install it.  By late Friday afternoon I was dead tire, I was just dragging so tired from our busy lives,  we had planned on driving up to the lake Friday night so we could attend conference and our cabin this weekend but I was too tired to go we just stayed home and watched our new TV.  We got up early Saturday morning and drove up to the cabin we were there by 9:30 AM just in time to watch the morning session of General conference,
