I finally have power and some more snow pics
Category: My life | Posted: Mon Oct 13, 2008 6:47 am The power was off most of the day today, but I had cranked up the heater during the night so it stayed pretty much warm til the power came back on. We had about 18-20 inches of snow all total. It is just lightly snowing now. But by this Thursday it is supposed to be 60 degrees. Anyways, we had a lot of damage around town caused by the wet, heavy snow. My neighbor had a huge tree limb break in her back yard and it was so big, it shook my house when it hit the ground. So I will add some more pics for ya'll. This is a car that was down the street 
Tree limbs blocked most of my street

My new roof covered in snow

Well, it looks like fall is over....
Category: My life | Posted: Sat Oct 11, 2008 5:55 pm Well, I got to see the leaves change for about a couple of days..then I woke up to this this morning. We are supposed to get about a foot of snow before it all stops falling. It started falling yesterday and it hasn't stopped yet. 
Our neighbor wasn't too thrilled to have to clear off his car.. 
But boy did Trey enjoy it..I get cold just watching him!! 
Logan has a bad cold, so he had to stay inside..he sure wanted to go out there. 
Sorry I haven't posted much on here..I'm so busy with school and Trey is in preschool this year, I'm meeting myself coming and going it seems. I'm either in class, taking Trey to school or doing homework and take care of my baby boys. I hope everyone is doing good!! I'll try to update as soon as I can, but I'm sure Mama keeps ya'll up to date for me. Take care ya'll!! This blog entry has been viewed 691 times
In Loving Memory of my Daddy- Glendann's husband
Category: My Family | Posted: Tue Sep 09, 2008 7:26 am 10 years ago, I lost my best friend, my Daddy. He had throat cancer and his death wasn't quick at all. He suffered so much those last few days. It still hurts today like it did back then. For some weird reason that Friday before he passed away, my friend Marisa asked me if instead of going to our favorite club, could we just take a trip back home. So that is what we did. But on the way to our home town, Marisa's grandmother called her cell phone and asked her where we were and she told her that we were on our way home and she said to drive faster because my daddy had just went into a coma. So poor Marisa floored it to Madisonville, and this whole time, she didn't want to tell me about daddy. She just wanted to get me there. So when I got there, I stayed by his side. I didn't sleep for 2 days straight and finally I was so exhausted I just went to get a little sleep. But I just put a pillow on the floor and slept next to daddy's hospital bed that was in our house. Then, like 30 minutes after I dozed off, I hear a voice say "Baby, when did you get here?" It was daddy, awake from the coma! I couldn't believe it! I told him that I had been there since Friday and when he realized that he had been in a coma, he knew God was ready for another angel. So that whole day, we all just sat around telling each other how much we loved each other and that we would take care of Mama for him. He refused to take the morphine that eased the pain because he knew that if he went back to sleep, he may never wake up. So he put it off for as long as he could and when he did...he slipped back into a coma. When you start the process of dying, your body can't regulate its temperature so you are hot one minute and sweating, then it would stop and a few minutes later, you would start sweating again. I spent most of those last days lying in the bed with him and when he would start to sweat; I would wipe his face off so sweat wouldn't roll into his eyes and burn them. On that last day, my Aunt Carol and Uncle Sonny came over to visit and see if we needed anything. Daddy's hospice nurse had just changed all his bed sheets and gave him a bath and put new pajamas on him. My aunt and uncle were just about to leave and my mom and brother walked them outside. I was sitting next to my dad and was just watching him trying to breathe. Many of you may have never been around a person that is terminally ill, but in the last few days of life the person gets what they call the death rattle. It's a rattling or gurgling with each breath that is from secretions in the back of the throat. His breaths started to slow down and it would be like almost 60 seconds between each breath. So I ran to the door and screamed for my mom and the rest of my family that was about to leave and my mom, brother and I huddled around him and my mom and I held his hand and my brother was on the other side with his hand on my daddy's other arm. We just kept telling how much we loved him and that we would be ok and he could just let go and go be with Jesus. Then he took one last breath and we kept talking to him until I felt his pulse fade away... I was so blessed to have been able to be there for him in those last few moments on earth. I think about him every day. I think the hardest thing about him being gone is that he never got to walk me down the aisle when I got married. He never got to hold his two precious grandsons. He would have spoiled them so much. And now that I am going through one of the toughest times of my life, I maybe almost 33 years old, but right now the thing I need the most is my daddy. I know he is watching over my sons and me, but it just isn't the same. I would give anything just to hear him call me Baby girl one more time. I miss his laugh, his hugs, his jokes...there are so many things...He was such a kind and loving man and he is greatly missed by many. If your daddy is still alive, or even your mom...call them every day and tell them you love them. Because we are never promised tomorrow Daddy "Uh huh dear", my daddy would say Not sure of what he agreed to, he would quickly sneak away The hood went up and down he went Into that engine block So engaged in that car, unaware of any clock Hours later, there he was, still working away He may stop for a pizza but then it's off to play I'm not sure if those cars were even broke You really can't be sure But as daddy dove into them He'd swear to you they were There's nothing that made daddy smile like he did As he worked away Except if there were kids around He loved to stop and play There was something about daddy That kids just had to adore Maybe it was his unending patience Or the way he came back for more Or maybe it was the smile he tried to hide The one that turned his forehead red And gave him away when he lied Or maybe it was those stories he told Leaving work and on his way home Laughing so hard Trying to tell us of the chest That started to roam "I tried to give her directions" he laughed As he recalled the fall "I just can't believe, there it was, the whole breast and all!" Daddy loved to play practical jokes The ones that made you laugh until you cried I'm not sure what I miss the most Since my daddy died I think that I miss him being my rock The one whom I relied I miss him so much It's really hard To not see his face Or maybe what I miss the most Is the strength of his embrace No matter how hard I think I just can't pick one I miss each and everything I miss us having fun It hit me like a ton of bricks Even though I had time to prepare I'm sorry I wasn't ready I thought you would always be there But with a sigh, I'll blow you a kiss You will always be the one I miss By Misty Judson I miss you Daddy! 2-17-1937 ~ 9-8-1998

In Loving Memory of my Nannie- Glendann's mom
Category: My Family | Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2008 4:36 am 
Nannie 08-02-1912 ~ 09-05-1998 Most of you that know me know that I talk about one very special lady that was in my life. My grandmother..we called her Nannie. If you were lucky enough to have met her, you wouldn't have ever forgotten her. She was your typical Nannie, but with a little more spunk than most. I lived with her when I was in high school cause she couldn't be alone, just in case she fell,etc. Most grandmother/granddaughters have endearing nicknames for each other like Sweetie,Honey..not Nannie and I..I called her Butthole and she called me A**hole...it was always in good fun and that was just the kind of sense of humor she had. She was always playing little jokes on people and loved ever minute of it. I was devastated when she passed away, but I knew she was so miserable here on Earth..so I knew it was time for her to go and be with all her siblings and her parents in Heaven. She talked to me about the fact that she knew she was dying and that it was ok and that we needed to focus more on my daddy, who was also dying of cancer at that time. She said " Your dad needs the attention now..he is sick, I'm just old" I still remember the day she passed away like it was yesterday. My mom,brother and I were torn because the day Nannie died, my dad had just slipped into a coma. So we went to the hospital to see Nannie, but couldn't stay too long cause we didn't want my dad to die without us by his side. So as Nannie struggled to take her last breaths, we went into her ICU room and said our goodbyes. She was able to hear and see us so she knew who was talking to her. She had emphysema had it took all the strength she had to take those last breaths. So my uncle stayed with Nannie so that we could get back to Daddy. She died that afternoon. I sometimes felt like after Nannie died, then three days later my dad followed, that I didn't get a chance to really grieve Nannie's death because Daddy was so sick and then he died. But now that I look back, that was exactly what she wanted. I was telling a friend of mine here in Billings about some funny stories about Nannie and she went home and wrote a poem about Nannie and she also wrote one about my daddy. So, if you knew her..this poem will bring back good memories. If you didn't know her..maybe you will read this and have a deeper connection to your own grandmother. You can learn so much about life from the elderly because they lived it. I still have a soft spot for older people and I contribute that to my Nannie. So when you see a old person having trouble opening a door, or walking a little slower than you..think about my Nannie and give them a hand, or even a kind word. That would make their day. Nannie Oh my Nannie it's funny to think She would fight for her family and wouldn't even blink She would stand her ground until the end She was a fiesty little thing that wouldn't bend She was a country women who would tell ya what she thought if you didn't do what cha should, she'd tell you ya ought Hurt feelings, no way, it's just how it was Don't get her wrong though, she was on your side til the end just because If you didn't like it when she gave her opinion, it was just to bad She was the first one to tell you when there were words to be had She supported her family whether they were right or wrong She wasn't the typical southern belle oh no, Nannie was strong She would be your best friend when you needed her most She would open her home to a dozen and be the perfect host ummmmm hmmmmmm I can smell it now That southern cook'n only Nannie knew how I can close your eyes and see it, I swear A table stacked full and Nannie right there If she wasnt cooking, there was one other place she would be Buried deep in a watermelon, her hair the only thing you could see Watermelon from one side of her face to other "Couldn't reach my fork" she said, without even a studder Nicknames you gave not the nicest names sure But we loved each other and they were just what they were "Ya know that I'm dying" words she said Who knew they would resound in your head Going out like a fighter, she was destined to go I'll kick the trash can when I get there that way you'll know And kicked it she did I knew that she would Her little way to say I'm here and I'm good See ya'll soon but until that time I gotta go I have the biggest slice of watermelon waiting for me, ya know. By Misty Judson I love and miss you with all my heart Nannie. I know you are with me always and help me in all that I do Thank you for your wisdom,sense of humor and your love of cooking. Play a game of solitare while you wait for the rest of us And remember, save the second biggest slice of watermelon for me!!

Long time no see!! New pics of the boys
Category: My sons | Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2007 3:42 am Sorry I have been such a stranger lately. We have all pretty much been sick since Trey started preschool and I'm always the last one to get over whatever he has brought home. Trey loves school. He is doing really good. Logan is now 6 months old and smiles and giggles most of the time. He sleep in his crib and sleeps all night. At least one of our kids sleeps in their own room..lol Thought I would share these pictures of them playing in the leaves. Logan didn't like the leaves at all! So there are only a couple of pics that he wasn't crying in. Other than that, we are doing good. It is starting to get cooler and I'm loving it! I will post pictures of the boys in their Halloween costumes as soon as I can. 
Like I said, Logan hated the leaves
