Boring Wednesday
Ah....hump day and it's a nice quiet day. Tomorrow will be crazy....Thanksgiving luncheon at work, adoration and then Lady's Quild at church. I'm still spending about 30-45 minutes every day trying to scan mom's old pictures. It's a very therapeutic event. I'm going to miss it when we go to Quincy next week.
Sweet Curt has croup. Poor, Jill! He's on steroids and acting like a crazy man.......hope he gets back to normal quickly for her.......oh, and him, of course! :)
Gonna miss my little Bug when we go next week.......hope we get to baby-sit again on Sunday. That way I'll have my squeezes caught up til we get back.
Hugs to all.....ME

A day at a time
Week by week, day by day, minute by minute we go through life........some days are hard, some days are easier, none are easy. I know that the veil of grief will lift in time but it's a dark curtain right now. I pray daily that He will give me the strength to keep up a strong front in public. I really feel sorry for Kim though. He takes the full force of my pain daily. My friend, Laura, lost her mom just a few months ago. It's amazing how we can e-mail or talk and both feel better. Sharing.......
I normally go to adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on Thursday nights but tonight it was cancelled. I write a journal of blessings each week....kinda like my prayer journal....so...this week my blog gets to see it.
Thankful for the family God has given me in this marriage.
Thankful for the faith to know that He will see me through this.
Thankful for my father....he is SUCH a man of God!
Thankful for the friends that God has placed in my path to help me on this journey.
Thankful for the mom He graced with me.
I am truly blessed!

Found
Jill and Jacob found my luggage! It was vacationing in Grand Caymon. Now....hopefully it will be here so I can have a little toothpaste and deodorant (and, or course, clean undies!!!). Guess the problem will be customs. Dad and I can go to the airport and meet the plane. Hopefully that will speed it through. Of course, I do not want to anger anyone here. I understand Mexican prisons are not the best! Besides....I do not need more clothes that desparately. HAH! Please, let Kim know that I will call him tonight if I can get through on the cabin phone. Love you all. Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers. Keep em coming!
PS I love the United States!!!!!!!

Nightmare of a day...week...month
First came Ike......then Tuesday my mom passed away....today I tried to get to the cruise ship to give my dad some company and
1. my flight from Houston to Miami was delayed 2.5 hours
2. this caused me to miss the ONLY flight going to Grand Cayman in time to make the cruise ship before it sailed
3. American Airlines automatically put me on the next flight to Grand Cayman which I declined and booked a flight to Cozumel which is the next stop for the cruise
4. Arrived in Cozumel.....taken to beautiful hotel all set up by the cruise line...however....my luggage is not here.
5. Call our wonderful assistant from Royal who tell me I must go back to the airport and report this.
6. Got ripped off $10 for a cab.....they say they have no record of my luggage ever being checked.
7. Luckily...I have the bag check number....they are going to look for it tomorrow...after all it is 5pm and they close
8. Only one flight into Cozumel tomorrow.....2 thirty.....if luggage is not on that flight I must wait another 2 days......
9. Tried to call from room and left message on Jacob Count cell......needed someone who would answer and he usually does.
10. He did not answer so left a message at 25.00 a minute.
11. Left message on everyone blog.....complete info is on thecountsfamily.blogspot.com
please....if anyone reads this......let my family know I am alright and need some help......I am safe....staying in hotel....not walking streets of Cozumel.......would love to have some English TV!!! Guess I will try to get some much needed rest.
Please pray for my family..........we have many tests this week. I am so blessed by my immediate family. Kim, Dan, Jill, Jacob, Kristy, Curtis and Kaylee (placed in order of Schwartz family membership...no favoritism shown!) I love you all so very, very much. I miss you all. Thanks for helping! Sorry about the goffy blog....typing on a Mexican keyboard....and YES it is different!

Grandkids
As my grandma once said, "Aren't they grand?!" I had a great day yesterday. Jill and Jacob had to teach NFP (Natural Family Planning) at the church and Kim was working so I had 5 hours alone with Curtis. It was WONDERFUL! We biked to the lake and fed the ducks, geese, turtles, and fish. Then we went to the park and played on the swings and slide while watching a soccer match. Then we came home and baked chocolate cookies together. It was so much fun watching him learn. He was amazed at the turtles (or as Curtis says Tu-tle). Then whilst baking, Curtis was covered in flour but loved pouring the ingredients into one container and then the other. He also loved eating the chocolate chips, dough and finished product! Now today, I get to babysit Kaylee! Ahh....I like this new position in life!!!! All in all, a great week-end. I leave for South Padre on Wednesday for work but will bring the laptop along.

Normalcy?
I have 1/2 a battery worth of juice so will try to add some more information. We are still without Comcast......phone, TV, internet. Guess we learned not to put all our eggs in one basket. The city came by this morning and are finally clearing the roads. Of course, the neighborhood residents had already done this by sawing and moving to the edge of the street. Now they are composting all the leaves, etc. Kim did go up on the roof today and we do have a little roof damage. Just a shingle tab missing and some nails that have come up. We'll call the insurance company to see what they think we should do about it. We'd like a pro look to see if it's something we should worry about.
I have to share a funny time during the morning after. The entire family was sitting in the front room with all the windows and doors open (no elect = no a/c). Kristy said she was going to get a drink. She opened the frig and realized that things were melting. That meant giant ice cream party for all! It was so funny! At 9:30am we had a 1/2 gallon of vanilla, 1/2 gallon of butter pecan, some ww fudge bars and ww ice cream sandwiches. It was hilarious!!! We truly were blessed though because that night we got power so our meat was fine. We put everyone's freezer goods into one freezer and never opened the door so 18 hours later it was all still frozen solid.
We're a little disappointed that the national news has stopped covering the devastation. We sure heard a lot about Katrina! We have a POD set up close to our house (point of distribution for ice, water and RME's) and the line is still very long daily. Almost 80% of the Houston and surrounding area is still without power. Scary since the weather is going to get hotter today. We've been truly blessed with temps in the 80's. Our neighborhood has set up it's own ice distribution. 1/2 the neighborhood has power so the "have's" have been making ice and putting it into coolers in specific yards for the "have nots". Kim was doing some yard work this morning and a woman just walked up to him asking if he had ice. We gave her all we had. It's strange that you can feel so guilty for having power.......
Hope I've notified everyone about our status......I'll continue to update when I can get out. We don't venture far from the house often since gas is still in short supply. I need to get to the grocery store today. We're out of veggies, fruit and dairy products.....as of yesterday they had not restocked any of this yet. We continue to praise God for the blessings we have. We are so much better off than the majority of people here.

Go home IKE!
Well, Ike did hit us. We heard today that the national news is no longer covering it. That upsets me!!! It's not good here. We were blessed. The house is fine. Jill and Jacob had some roof and fence damage but no water got in the house. Dan and Kristy faired the best. They had some trees leaning but they didn't even lose a branch! The even have cable and electricity! We have electric but nothing else. Jill, Jacob, Curtis and Gracie are all staying with us until the power is restored in Pearland. No one has school and have no idea when it'll be up again. I'm typing this outside at a Panera bread that is closed but their wi-fi is working. My battery is dying so I'm ending this. Will try to get to free wi-fi again later. I'm going to try and download some pictures on Picassa. We'll see if the battery makes it.

Hello Ike
Well, it's looking more and more like we may get a storm after all. Right now, which as everyone knows is subject to change at any moment, Ike is poised to hit just south of us. That means we'll be on the "dirty" side of the storm. Jill and Jacob's county has a mandatory evacuation beginning tomorrow so we've got their room all ready to go. It'll be cozy with the 5 of us in one room! HAH! Denny and Jane have been sweet enough to offer their house to us all. We may just take them up on it if we lose electricity! It's one thing to listen to the storm. It's quite another to sit in the heat and listen to it!!!!! I'll post more when I get more info. Shout out to all my yankee family members and friends who have no idea what we're going through!!!

And Life goes On
Today is a good day. I had a dinner date last night with an angel who happens to be my granddaughter. Dan & Kristy invited me to dinner - I was feeling kinda lonely since Kim had a game (talk about that later) and they called! What a Blessing! We all went to Red Lobster and ate WAY too much while Kaylee slept. Then, how's this for exciting? I got to take Kaylee back to my house alone and give her her evening bath! AWESOME!!! She loves bathtime and I've not had the joy of doing that. Kristy got back from taking Dan to work just in time to feed her before she went back to sleep. What a great night!!!!!
Now, today, I'm going to see my little man, Curtis. Kim is, of course, working again so I'll have some company for awhile. I'd planned on quilting a little today but this will be much more fun. It can get pretty lonely this time of the year.......I'm a truly blessed with my children and families.
As for the football game....well......it was about 45 minutes away...not a big deal....but they were charging $12.00 a piece to get in! Now, I have a free pass but the kids don't. I honestly have no desire to sit in the stands and listen to people put my husband down by myself. I'd rather be home enjoying a movie or bathing my granddaughter ANY DAY!!! Don't get me wrong, I love Kim's chosen profession but it's gotten much different since I don't know the kids and the other wives don't chose to attend the games. I'll be going to some of the ones closer to our home with one of the other wives and/or my family but to drive an hour to sit along....thanks but no thanks.
Shout out to Sabrina.......hope your hubby came home yesterday.......now take yourself a break!

Days turn into a week
It's been 7 days, one week, since we learned of the passing of Jill and Jacob's Gabriel. It's been a hard week but one that we can honestly say had us grow closer to each other. Jillian was told by her specialist that she needed to have the baby removed so she underwent the procedure on Wednesday. The doctors are testing the tissue to see if they can find a reason for their loss. Poor little Curtis just can't understand why mommy can't pick him up.....we've told him that Mommy has a big owwie. He seems to understand that, but, of course, being 20 months old he forgets that on a regular basis and needs reminding. He is such a wonderful little man....he just wants Jill to hold him all the time. I tried my best to fill in when I could.....but Nana is not mommy. I've taken off quite a bit this week but as I told Jillian, there is nothing more important than my children....I know that, as a mom, she understands that. I just wish I could take the pain for her. I've never been through this so can't say I understand her pain....I can only say that I can see her pain and, as a mom, that's one of the hardest thing in the world to go through. We continue to lean upon our Lord for healing, physically, mentally and spiritually. Thanks to everyone for their continued support and prayers.

Answers.......
This was sent to me by Kimberly, Kristy's sister. She knows the pain that our family is going through and found the perfect answer to my questions in my previous post. Thank you......
Why, my Lord—dare I ask why? It will not hear the whisper of the wind or see the beauty of its parents’ face—it will not see the beauty of Your creation or the flame of a sunrise. Why, my Lord?
“Why, My child—do you ask ‘why’? Well, I will tell you why. You see, the child lives. Instead of the wind he hears the sound of angels singing before My throne. Instead of the beauty that passes he sees everlasting Beauty—he sees My face. He was created and lived a short time so the image of his parents imprinted on his face may stand before Me as their personal intercessor. He knows secrets of heaven unknown to men on earth. He laughs with a special joy that only the innocent possess. My ways are not the ways of man. I create for My Kingdom and each creature fills a place in that Kingdom that could not be filled by another. He was created for My joy and his parents’ merits. He has never seen pain or sin. He has never felt hunger or pain. I breathed a soul into a seed, made it grow and called it forth.”
I am humbled before you, my Lord, for questioning Your wisdom, goodness, and love. I speak as a fool—forgive me. I acknowledge Your sovereign rights over life and death. I thank You for the life that began for so short a time to enjoy so long an Eternity. -- Mother M. Angelica

Questions.....
Why does God give us such wonderful blessings and then take them away? Jillian and Jacob lost their unborn child yesterday. I just don't understand. Why would He give them the answer to their prayers and then pull out the rug from under them? They are such good stewards and are such wonderful parents to Curtis. Why would He do this? I know He has a plan........I honestly can't see it now. We continue to praise Him for the blessings we have.........just are very upset, dissappointed...and yes, even angry right now. What we had thought would be such a beautiful day ended up being so sad. I did enjoy taking Curtis to the Butterfly museum while Jill and Jacob went to the doctor. We did find out that Curtis is afraid of butterflies! I think he thought they would bite him like a mosquitoe. I am so glad we have him.......he is Jillian and Jacob's true gift.
Please pray for us.....this will not be an easy week-end......also, pray for all people in the path of Gustav. This hurricane looks like a big one.

It's my birthday!
I know....I'm not supposed to be excited for my birthday. But I am! Every year! I guess it was something that happened as a little girl. My parents must have made me feel very special this day. I don't know.....all I know is that I love my birthday! :) Today I'm 50+ and I still enjoy it. I've had a blessed life! I woke up this morning and had lost a total of 13 pounds and could get into my old "fat" jeans (which unfortunately are now my skinny jeans!) As I told my beautiful daughter today....I am blessed with so many wonderful friends. I was taken to lunch on Wednesday by an old friend from the kids swim team, then yesterday I was taken to lunch by 3 wonderful women from work. Today my husband took me out for lunch and my bestest friend took me for an adult beverage. Tomorrow, I'm going to dinner with our friends, Jan & Daryl to celebrate both Jan & my birthday and Daryl's new job (go Daryl!). Then Sunday it's family time! WOW! I'm so blessed!!!! I stopped by the chapel at church tonight just to thank HIM for the wonderful life he has given me thus far.
On a very sad note, I had a call from my bestest friend from HS, Laura. Her mom passed away this morning. We still e-mail almost daily and when I didn't hear from her I knew something had happened. Please keep her family in your prayers. Her mom was my second mom all through HS. She is with her Lord feeling no pain and seeing her husband again. She was very loved while here and will be missed greatly.

God is sooo good! After Jillian & Jacob's loss in May, God has blessed them with another pregnancy. They saw the baby's heartbeat last Friday so we can finally rejoice with everyone! We are so excited for them. They are such awesome parents - Curtis is a beautiful little boy in every way. They are quite a pair and supporting each other in everything.
So.....in March I will be a Grandma again. How cool is that??????

Well, we spent a very relaxing week-end at Toledo Bend this week-end for one of Dan's best friends weddings. I've posted some picture on our picassa. Congrats to Villis and Tina!!!
My life is exhausting right now! The grandbabies are wonderful but work is about to kick my butt! We're going through audits and the boss has decided to take another vacation right in the middle of board documents time....I can handle it but it sure is a lot of stress!!!!
Wish I could write more......leaving for dinner.

Wonderful Friday
I love Fridays off! I'm working on putting things where they belong.....I know....what a concept! I've found our camera charger but still can't find my blue tooth. I'm afraid we left it on the cruise ship because it's been missing since we got home. We've babysitting Jill & Jacob's dog Gracie this week-end while they go visit Kelly and Jacob. I'll be praying that Curtis can handle a 5 hour car trip to Baton Rouge!
I've been praying constantly for Dale and Paulette. They live in the Harlingen area and Hurricane Dolly has visited them this week. We lost touch with them two days ago but at that time the eye was pretty much past them and they were fine. They did lose the three trees in their yard. Dan & Ryan (their other son-in-law) are plannng to drive down there tonight to help them get things cleaned up. Woods family....our prayers are with you!

Happy Belated 4th!
Well, life is getting back to "normal". Kim's begun the patio project and I'm trying desparately to get my "secret" project back on schedule. I was experiencing a little stomach upset yesterday so we didn't go visit Kaylee. I certainly don't want her to get sick! I'm feeling much better today so plan on making a stop to visit with Kim this afternoon before mass. Enjoy the additional pictures. Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!

The Schwartz family is home
Dan, Kristy and Kaylee are all home today. I can't believe that a short 48 hours after having major surgery Kristy is ready. What a trooper! Paulette & Jillian cleaned, Kim mowed and I stayed home waiting on the bricks for our backyard. YUCK! Kaylee was introduced to her room but not the dogs yet. It looks like Molly has some kind of infection on her eye so at the moment Jill & Jacob are watching her. Kim and I may take her back tomorrow but our yard is definitely not good for dogs right now since it's totally torn up. We'll work it out though! Better for the dog to be here than around either of our grandkids! I've posted more pictures of everyone. Enjoy!

Anniversaries and babies
Today is a wonderful day in the Schwartz family. It's Jill & Jacob's third anniversary. They are a wonderful example of married love. Curtis is one lucky little man!
As for Kristy & Dan's baby, Kaylee, she's doing really well. Her blood work is finally normal. We're suspecting a little jaundice may be setting in but we'll see from the doctors report. Dan and Kristy seem to have fallen right into the parenthood world. They are working on the breast feeding and changing like a true team. Dan has even changed a "tar" diaper! This is the man who has never changed a diaper before. He always said that he'd learn when it was his kid! Well, guess it's time to learn!
Happy 4th to all. Hopefully I'll get a chance to post a few more blogs.
Happy Birthday to our Godchild Megan! Once again we are late with our card! Sorry!!!
And of course, Happy Anniversary to Jacob & Jillian! Hard to believe it's been only 3 years. Our lives have all changed in that much time.

Marriage is a give and take
Like the title? Well, Kim and Dan are talking at this very moment about buying a boat. I'm not going to stand in their way but I sure don't have to be overjoyed about it. I promised that I will not be angry....but why is it that when I want something, even if it's free, I get told we don't need it....or it's too old? Or that it's *&(*&(^*&!
On to happier things......I got to see my sweet little Curt-Burt last night but he sure wasn't the sweet little angel I'm used to! What did Mike do to him? HAH? He's running a temperature of 103 and didn't know what he wanted. Poor little dude! Poor Jill!!!! Guess God is just showing her what her mom went through with all those ear infections she had.....YUCK! That was NOT FUN!
Tonight we're all heading to the Heights to see Brent & Adriennes new house. 4 fireplaces! WOW! Amazing! They go back to DuBai next Thursday so we're trying to get our fill of them quick. Their little Hunter is a sweatheart!
Pictures to come later.

Missing my little Curt-Burt
Well, it's Sunday and we don't have Jill, Jacob & Curtis to enjoy. We spent most Sundays as a family so we're really missing them today. I'm ready for them to come home. I know they've had fun in Minnesota but its just not the same here without them. Kim and I watched a little of the ball game, went to mass, and took a nap. Then he worked on the deck while I picked up some comfy sweats to wear on the cruise next month. No quilting today. Kim and the rest of the Schwartz men (sans Jacob) are all going on the annual Memorial Day fishing trip tomorrow. I haven't seen Kim this excited about something in a long time. After they catch their limit, they'll come back here for showers and pizza before everyone breaks for their respective homes. Should be lots of fun. I'll post some pictures of the fisherman when they return.

Sick and sad
It's been a long sad week. Monday, Jillian and Jacob went back to the doctor and found out that the baby has been lost. We pray that nature takes its course this week and she can be spared a D&C. We can only continue to pray for their sweet Catherine. Their amazing faith has gotten them through this. I am forever telling people what an amazing woman my daughter is, this is just further proof. I have to also add that they have such an amazing marriage. This would tear some couples apart. They have bonded even stronger through their faith. Jacob is an amazing husband and father.
Then on Tuesday, Kim and I went to Pearland to babysit Curtis so Jillian and Jacob could have some "couple" time. It was a blast and I'll post some pictures. On the way home I started to feel a little ill. By the time we got home I was all-out sick. We thought it was food poisoning but I ran a temperature of 101. I haven't been that sick in a long, long time. Lost 6 pounds in one night! Not exactly the best way to do that though. YUCK! I'm still home from work today but my fever broke last night. I'm just sore but figure I'll be fine for the mom's day celebration tomorrow. I just hope that crawfish isn't too much! I'll post some pictures of that soon.

Prayers and Blessings
I have enjoyed having some special time with my sweet little "Curt-Burt". Unfortunately, it comes at the expense of the possibility of losing another grandchild. Please keep Jillian & Jacob in your prayers. Their unborn child has not formed in the womb. It looks as though God has placed an egg sac but no baby inside it. We pray that His will is done. Monday we see if He put a child inside the sac or not. This is a very anxious week-end for Jillian & Jacob.....we continue to thank God for the blessings he has bestowed upon us. Please pray for peace in Jillian's heart.

Age and illness
Well, my baby is 25. Now that's hard to believe! Happy Quarter Century Jillian! I hope I tell you enough how wonderful I think you are. Not many moms can brag that neither of their children even gave them a difficult time. You and Dan are true gifts from God...I hope I never that those wonderful gifts for granted.
Now.....since my "baby" is 25, that must mean I'm getting old. The Good Lord just had to prove it to me with a slight case of pneumonia. Not full blown but enough to totally wear me out and put me on all sorts of medications. Guess I needed a break! So, I'm off work at least through tomorrow and sleeping more than I thought I could. Can't even call my mommy to whine....moo and doo are on another Caribbean Cruise. Hope they're having the time of their lives! Another blessing....my parents are financially, medically and emotionally able to enjoy their lives together. What a beautiful example of married life I had!

Spring Break
AHHH! That's the sound of rested people. Naps are such a good thing! Of course, we're getting some projects done that we've been putting off forever. I finally finished Greg's curtains and put them in the mail. Now if he'd just finish his end of the bargain and e-mail me! Kim is hard at work putting a new top on our patio/deck. He's also been going for some routine medical stuff....spots on his face and eye exam. It's sure not fun getting old and our young dermatologist doesn't make it any easier. "Let's see Mr. Schwartz....that's just an age spot....there's nothing I can do about that.....oh yes, Mr. Schwartz, that funny skin coloring is just the effect of the sun...nothing to worry about." Young whipper-snapper!

My boy and a girl
Well, Dan & Kristy got the best of news today. Kristy is carrying a healthy baby GIRL!!!!! Yee-Haw!!! I'm sooo excited and can barely wait to go shopping! Dan says I'm going to be called Grandma by his kids. This'll be tough for me when they're all around but, hey, I'm thrilled to be called theirs!!!! So....my daughter gave me my first Grandson and my son gave me my first granddaughter! How cool is that! I am so blesed!!!!!
I'm still in Austin at the TASBO conference. Awesome speaker today - even purchased his work. Sometimes these meetings aren't as productive as you want but today was well worth it. I'm ready to go home though. It gets lonely after awhile.

Happy Valentines Day
I just had to say Happy Valentines day! My sweet husband had flowers delivered to work. I was the only one to get some making it even better! I love being the envy of all the women! Of course, with a husband like mine, I'm always the envy of all the women!!! :) Having a romantic night of a movie and champagne in front of the TV (No Reservations). Love to all our fellow bloggers. Be sure to check out Jill's blog. I love that pictures of my little Curt-Burt!

Luke Anthony
Just the name of the post sounds Holy - doesn't it? Well, my neice had her baby boy baptised yesterday. He is now officially a Christian......and his name? Luke Anthony! He is a very blessed child to have been given a Christian family to raise him. He has a wonderful brother, Drew, who calls him "Baby Luke". Kelly and Jacob....God has given you such a wonderful gift! You can see pictures on our blog.
Of course, Nana and Pops got to enjoy Curtis at the baptism. He's learning to make the sign of the cross and can even sign Jesus. He behaved really well and enjoyed the piano and the man singing behind us. Of course, he saw the baptism pool and figured it would be a great place to take a little swim. Good thing we were able to persuade him otherwise!
Love to all.....ME!

Yeah!
What an exciting time! Dan and Kristy got to go back to the doctor and have another ultra-sound. It's so much fun to hear your son talk about how cool it is to see his baby growing. I can't wait to see him as a daddy. I think it will open his eyes to so many things!
Then Curtis said Nana today! Jill brought him to our house (he was being a little toot in a SL store) and he walked around saying "Nana". He was looking for me! I get to babysit tomorrow night while Jill & Jacob go on a date. I can't wait!!!!!
I am soooooo blessed!

Curiousity
OK - gotta ask.....is this a waste of time or does anyone check this site anymore???? I haven't had a comment in a LONG time so kinda wondering if I should just shut this puppy down.
Just in case......today I had to go back to work. SUCH A BUMMER! The same people that were Bit*** before the break were Bitc**** after. So sad! How can some people walk into an office and not even say Good Morning? All she ever does is give dirty looks (except to the boss of course!)......something must be really horrible in her life to give her that attitude all the time. I'm still praying for her daily but it gets harder and harder!
My little dumplin' had his 1 year check-up today. He's 75% for height and only 50% for weight. Must be taking after his Nana - YEAH RIGHT!
