Yesterday I had intended to go have lunch in Tyler with a friend of mine and do some piddling around town.....but as I am waiting for my bud to come and meet me,I get a call and Rayven is in the hospital.Well,my friend and I buzz on over to Dallas to the hospital instead.Not only does she have a severe enough kidney infection to be kept overnight hooked to I.V.'s pumping antibiotics....she not only has a really horrible kidney infection,she is 2 weeks pregnant! OMG!!! (still in a panic) She lost the last baby,but that was when she was with a total loser....and sometimes I wonder if it wasn't just meant to be that way.He treated her like a dog.
She's with a really awesome guy now.They have a wonderful place in Dallas and he's a hard worker and handles "Ms.hyperactive" like I've never seen anybody handle her,lol.I think he'll be a great Daddy,and well.....ME? I want to be an awesome grandma.I just can't see me being one of the grandma's that I had....but my memories of them were when they had already gotten older and ....well....."granny-ish",if that makes any sense.
My Mom/step-mom is a good grandma.They helped raise Rayven while I spent my time giving the state my freedom for acting an ass,and I seen alot of ways she handled Rayven with more patience than I can remember having sometimes.lol.
Example: One visitation we were discussing Rayven's progress in school.I blurted out that Rayven was just being "BAD".WHOA! That was a big no-no.Mom told me "Tammi,Rayven has NEVER been b-a-d.There is no such thing as a bad child.She needs guidance,love,and discipline,but please don't ever call her BAD.Mom says she doesn't feel right reading my blog,so this comment is not for her,btw.Or to flaunt that I have terrific parents.Doubt it will even be read now,since she told Daddy he had no business in my personal blog.But she is the ultimate patient Gran that I hope to be.She never raised her voice to us as children,or either one of my kids...whom she calls HER OWN grandkids,even though they are not blood kin.I learned alot from her and plan on useing her tecniques that she used(such as "time out") etc...I stressed as a mother and would often yell,and if I could go back and change some of the dumb things I done....yelling at my girls would be the main one.
I don't speak alot about my youngest daughter,as her grandmother took me to court when she was 3 and a half and got custudy.I thought we were going in for temporary,but right before the big doors swung open to the courtroom,I was told"where is your lawyer"? K.K.'s grandmother is going for FULL custody.I was in trouble,beaten down by the awful life I was leading,and practically just let her slip out of my hands in that courtroom that day,and have hated myself every since.
Another issue.I'd rather just leave it at that for now.But my point is....as far as being a
She is such a great Mom.So now that mine are grown I'd really like to be a heather-grandma.
Mee-Mee....Yea,I think that's what my baby can call me.Mee-Mee.Or did I even spell it right?
Rayven got out of the hospital late in the afternoon,but the baby and her seem to be fine,and hopefully the antibiotics will cure the infection in no time.
WOW!!! I'M GONA BE A GRANNNNNNNY FOLKS!!!!

HEY! A NEW LIFE!? HELL YEAH!
Like Congrats and stuff.
You know I've had about two or three attempts at fatherhood. The last one went wonderfully before the relationship crashed worse than an American Airliner with a redneck in the cockpit saying, "Dayum...Ah'm runnin awn fuuumes!"
I wouldn't say that there was anything I'd have done differently the last time, I was actually enjoying myself doing that. The really funny part is two of the boys were teenage twins and the youngest was eight. Isn't that normally when you have huge problems with kids listening to reason? I didn't seem to have that problem.
My first two attempts (cut short by the end of the relationship as well) were little girls. The first was a child I raised for two years and the second...a baby...literally.
To this day I still keep in touch with nearly all of them but now, I stick to raising my babies. Cats that is.
Who’s going to be a grandma?
You don’t look old enough to be a grandma.
What did you do have a kid when you were 2?
You will be a great granny.
Granny Tammi :)
Your mother sounds like a very special and kind woman that you are lucky to have her in your life.
I know one day you will make things right for all your kids and your youngest will come to you as well.
I haven’t seen mine in 6 years now but I know one day I might.
Now I agree with you on Heather, she is a great mom and one of my favourite friends.
Psssst she sent me something special the other day ;)
Congrats Granny I know you will be the best :)
D.J.Genitals*OOOPS! D.J.Genocyde!!!
(giggle)
OK.OK.C'mon!You have to admit,that was funny as hell.((luv ya!)
Yea,I see you as a good pops.Listening to you on the radio and hearing your stand on alot of things(when your not jammin'the hell out of the tunes)....you seem to be able to handle yourself well in any situation.Not that a baby is a situation,so to speak.I just think now I have the chance to be NOT just a better mother/grandma role....but the BEST grandma around! I am so tickled pink.I got her permission to post a pic of her latest set and I'm not sure which one it will be,but some of them....awwww hellll nooo.But hey!@ If ya got it...flaunt it,huh?Her net will be back on next week,so no telling where you'll see this same pic or more like it.I just think she has the sweetest kindest heart(and I'm not saying that just b/c she's mine,D.But she is gona be a terrific Mom and I am sure of THAT. :-}
Your so funny dude.These days,I don't think security even let's rednecks in the cockpit.How funny....but surely your not referring to any East Texans are you? :-}
Well good for Heather and good for you. How exciting. I hope things go much better this time around for Heather.
Now you being a gramma... I just can not believe that. You must of had your daughter when you were like 9. Your Mom seems like a wonderful person and if you can be even half as wonderful what a super granny they will have. I am glad you are excited at the thought of that.
Best of luck to you and daughter.
Congrats Tammi! That is awesome news :)
WALKER*
OHHH YEA! Love the flattery!Keep it comin'.lol
But c'mon W.,how about mee-mee....I used to call my feeble little grandma GRANNY,so I associate being called a GRANNY with my own lil grandma.Well,what the hay...I am a granny any way you look at it,huh?
BTW,I'm guessing you know the grandma I am speaking of is my step-mom(since I was 3).NOT because Daddy found my blog....but my REAL mother has always been a good grandma to all her grandkids....but Rayven went through so much when I acted a fool,and they were there for her and besides that my step-mom is the ultimate Gran(that's her grandma name,btw)...the sun rose and set in Rayven's rear end.Mom claims she didn't spoil her...but....YES she did.She just didn't spoil her "rotten".She taught her to be a proper young lady.When I came home from the clink,I was told 10 times a day "nooooo,your not doing it like my Gran",or "my Gran says that's not nice".lol
It was hard to follow in my Mom's footsteps.For such slim feet,those were some mighty "big shoes to fill".
I'm so sorry to hear you haven't seen your kiddo's in so long,Walker.I know that must be tough.But you will.Maybe not today...maybe not tomorrow...but you will.Your a good guy and I'd bet an awesome Daddy.
Sure wish we knew what you got from Heather,that we missed out on!!
She's a cool Mom.
I posted a pic of what I sent walker... lol
Tammi, you flatter me! I love ya girl!
Things are good here, and my email address is heathercrochets@gmail.com if'n ya want it GRANNY!!! YAY!!! WOOO HOOOO!!!

Heather
