HOME WITH THE SEE FAMILY

WELL, I KNOW THIS BLOG IS ABOUT BOBBIE JO, BUT SINCE TODAY IS UNEVENTFUL, (AT LEAST I HOPE IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE) I WANTED TO SORT OF DESCRIBE THE SITUATION AT HOME. SOME OF YOU WILL RECALL THAT WE HAVE A SMALL GAME ROOM ON THE SIDE OF OUR GARAGE, NEXT TO THE HOUSE. IT MEASURES 14X20 FEET. FOR MANY YEARS, IT HAS BEEN HOME TO EACH OF THE CHILDREN AND EVEN SOME OF THEIR FRIENDS AS THE OCCASION MERITS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE HAVE BEEN IN THIS HOUSE FOR OVER 14 YEARS, AND MARTIN AND I HAVE BEEN ALONE IN THE HOUSE FOR A TOTAL OF ONLY 2 WEEKS! NO PROBLEM THERE, WE LOVE HAVING THE FAMILY CLOSE. NOW, THE LITTLE ROOM IS REALLY SERVING IT'S PURPOSE. WE ARE LIVING IN IT AS WE REPAIR THE HOUSE GUTTED BY HURRICANE IKE. LET ME DESCRIBE THE ROOM TO YOU. THERE IS A SLIDING PATIO GLASS DOOR FOR THE FRONT WALL TOWARD THE STREET. ( WE DO HAVE A CURTAIN, BUT I STILL WONDER IF THE OCCASIONAL PEEPER MIGHT TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPEASE HIMSELF AT NIGHT). SO, I AM CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE THE LIGHTS ARE OUT OR AT LEAST DIM BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING IMPORTANT! (OF COURSE IMPORTANT GOES ONLY AS FAR AS DRESSING OR DARTING ACROSS THE PATIO TO THE BIG HOUSE FOR A SHOWER IN OUR UNDIES). FIRST,WE HAVE THE MASTER BEDROOM WHICH CONSISTS OF A CONVERTED POOL TABLE AND A SMALL DRESSER. MARTIN AND JAYBIRD ARE SLEEPING ON THE POOL TABLE. THIS IS NOT ACTUALLY A POOL TABLE ANYMORE, IS IT NOW A WRESLING RING THAT THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION WOULD BE PROUD OF. IT HAS A SOFT MEMORY FOAM MATTRESS ON IT AND IS IRRESISTABLE TO A COUPLE OF KIDS, (YES I MEAN MY MARTIN TOO) WHO WANT TO WRESTLE AND POUND EACH OTHER. I AM ACTUALLY THINKING OF GETTING A BELL SO I CAN CALL ROUND THREE AND PUT THEM TO BED! WE HAVE A TINY LITTLE KITCHEN, THAT IS VERY EFFICIENT, MEANING THAT I CAN STRETCH IN ANY DIRECTION TO THE FRIDGE, STOVE, SINK AND MICROWAVE. WE ALSO HAVE A TINY BATHROOM, BUT NO DOOR, JUST A HEAVY CURTAIN SEPARATING THE KITCHEN FROM THE BATHROOM. THE RULE IS, IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE A STINKY, GO NEXT DOOR TO THE FINISHED BATHROOM! NEXT, WE HAVE MY RECLINER, STATIONED BETWEEN THE POOL TABLE AND A DRESSER. IT IS LIKE A LITTLE ALCOVE, AND I LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS THE "GUEST ROOM" AS THAT IS WHERE THE GUESTS SIT WHEN THEY COME TO VISIT. WE THEN HAVE A CLOTHING RACK THAT IS THE CLOSET AND A SMALL TABLE FOR DINING. (AND I DO MEAN SMALL!) FINALLY, WE HAVE BOBBIE JO'S ROOM, WITH A HOSPITAL BED AND A METAL RACK FOR HOLDING MEDICAL SUPPLIES. NOW, WHEN I SAY ROOMS, THESE ARE HYPOTHETICAL, AS THERE ARE NO INSIDE WALLS IN OUR LITTLE HOUSE. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS, WE ARE SO HAPPY HERE. WE ARE COZY AND WARM, AND WE LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH. IT IS A WONDERFUL LITTLE PLACE TO AWAIT THE FINISH OF OUR HOUSE. I AM SURE I WILL FEEL DIFFERENTLY ONCE I AM AGAIN IN MY HOUSE, (HURRY HURRY!) BUT FOR NOW, HERE WE ARE. BOBBIE JO IS GETTING STRONGER AND STRONGER. SHE IS GETTING COLOR BACK INTO HER FACE AND SHE EVEN SMILES ON OCCASION. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THESE LITTLE STEPPING STONES, I AM TRULY WATCHING A MIRACLE. HOW THANKFUL I AM THAT HEAVENLY FATHER TRUSTS OUR FAMILY WITH THIS EVENT IN OUR LIFE. I AM WAITING FOR LOLLIPOPS TO ARRIVE AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OUR FUNDRAISER AT THE LOCAL KROGER. IT WILL BE FUN. TILL TOMORROW MY LOVED ONES, LOVE, NANASEE
