CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!

Call the land line! um please

I know that sounds like a shocking idea. But remember back in the day? Back before we had cell phones? Back when we had to write letters to each other in order to communicate? Then came phones with looooooongggg cords attached to walls. Handy for walking around the kitchen and doing dishes while chatting. Then came the intense novelty of answering machines. Actual machines. That you plugged into the wall. And then we finally got all high tech with digital voice mail and cell phones and 8 frajillion other ways to stay connected at all times.

But here's the cuckoo nutty thing: if I don't answer my cell when you call, and I don't call you back when you leave a message, and that happens for five or six days, don't you think PERHAPS, just perhaps, the problem might be that I've lost the damn thing? Or that the battery is dead and the charger is broken? Or that there is actually a reason I CAN'T get your message?

And  if you really wanted to talk to me, instead of leaving a dozen increasingly frustrated messages on my cell, you might try calling my actual home phone number. Because, honestly, there are days, weeks that I don't turn my cell phone on or remember to charge the stupid cell phone battery. But my home phone? It always works.

Okay now I got that off my chest! and now I feel better.

On my mind

I've been thinkng about the decisions we make and learning to live with them. It really got me thinking. Most of the major decisions in my life have been made because of other people and what they want or need  first.

Let’s take for example getting clean and going to rehab years ago. It wasn’t that I woke up one day and said, “Gee, I sure don’t like getting high anymore. I should get clean!” Far from it. I still loved it and felt I needed it and I really wanted it. But when I looked at my boys and Husband and  saw what it was doing to them, I knew I had to change things or they could be hurt, killed or left without a mother. For them, I decided it was time to make that life changing decision. And I was absolutely right in doing so, but the catalyst for getting there was not my own desire. It was my desire to make things right for others. And then for myself. (But trust me, in less than a matter of hours that focus changes quickly and you learn how to be in rehab for yourself and yourself only.)

I have always tried to be one of those people who does not live with regrets. You cannot change the past. You cannot undo things that have been done. There are no do-overs in life.

There are friendships I would have ended much sooner and some I never would have ended at all. There are jobs where I would have done everything differently. There are some “secrets” I would never have kept and some that I would never have shared. There are things I would never have said and things I would have said much sooner.

But to what end does any of that bring me? Every decision I have made, every friend I have had or lost, every opportunity I have grasped or let pass me by have brought me where I am today.

 No matter how much I wonder about (and I do wonder about stuff), taking a different path, making a different decision, choosing a different way of handling things, I cannot go back and do anything–not one thing–differently. And so I live with where I am, who I am and all of the good and bad, whole and broken, happy and sad wrapped into this person I am today. But some days…some days I let myself wonder. What if…

in the end it is all about love. Having it. Keeping it. Sharing it. I have had a wonderful life of love. I have great friends in my life that make me laugh. I have children who amaze me every day. I have a husband I have been with for  30 years. Every decision we make brings change. If you are blessed and have a bit of luck on your side, through those changes, love remains the same.

And you can push forward.

Oh No! Bono!

Chastity Bono is having a sex change to become a man. Daughter of Sonny and Cher, says he "has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity and began the sex-change process earlier this year.

A few weeks ago Rudy, myself, Jon and Kelly had dinner down on 2nd street and were stopped by a woman who was from Celebrity footage and wanted to get our take on Chastity's decision to become a man, Um I defiantly opped out on that interview, I'm a bit camera shy and with my new smile I felt it was a bit to uncomfortable. As much as I want America to see my beautiful smile I stepped away far away from the camera.

 If your wondering how I feel about this whole sex change operation

Changing your sexual identification, might solve some problems, but ... what if your problem is actually something else?

Jon and Rudy in front of one of Chastity Bonos restaurants

Rudy Had a lot to say about this matter, You see 21 years ago one of Rudy's co-worker a man had a sex change to became a woman so Rudy had a lot to say about this topic. 

What the heck is it?

  I had a Physical a few weeks ago and since than my life has been a rollercoaster with it's up and downs. I found out my Cholesterol is so high, I am due for a heart attack or stroke an minute now if I don't change my diet. Well I didn't have to think twice about my new lifestyle change. I am finally eating healthy and stocked up on my Omega fish oil and walking 5 miles a day. My Doctor decided not to put me on medication for my high cholesterol YET! She has faith in me that I could lower it with good eating habit and daily exercise.

  

My Mammogram test showed a few lumps, But with more testing it turned out it shows no evidence of Malignant disease. God is so Good! I just have Lumpy breast, Ergh! 

This morning I picked up my ultrasound CD from the Radiologist because tomorrow I will be seeing a specialist about my Pelvis ultrasound.  As I looked over my ultra sound pictures I wonder what the heck is in my Uterus? Yikes!  I know I can't be Pregnant, Rudy and I decided to shut down the Baby factory years ago! Ha!  

Keep me in your prayers tonight and tomorrow as I go get myself checked out again! Hopefully I only have a Lumpy uterus...... 

3:00 am Do you know where your husband is?

Ah! I'm sure my sweet Husband is sound asleep! He's been working so hard attending Launch parties, News Conferences and taking care of Business. 

Um, come to find out my sweet Husband has been out all night long! ( Ah'Hum) excuse me while I clear my throat!

Now many of you know my hubby is out of town on company business. He's in Brazil, South America. Yes I know he needs to be there, He's has a lot of responsibilities there and "I KNOW" he has to attend important events!

"BUT REALLY"    

Arriving at your Hotel room after 3:00am?

YES! 3:00 AM.  That's not acceptable!!!

I know my hubby, When it's 11:oo pm it's sleepy time for him!  I practically have to carry him to our bed, he's so tired!  Not so on his Business trips. He seems to always be wide awake and raring to go! 

Your probably wondering how I know about his after 3:00 am all nighter,

I guess he didn't realise, Brazil is "FOUR" hours ahead of pacific time! when he called me to check in! I guess he forgot about the time in Brazil, Duh!  I'll just blame it on Jet lag or one to many drinks for my man!

But is he so BUSTED! and that's not a good thing if your married to ME!

The only way he could make it up to me ( are you reading this Rudy?)

Is if he brings me something nice and expensive!!!

Delete, Goodbye Forever! My so called Friend

I deleted quit a few people off my Facebook friends List yesterday and I'm happy with the number I have now. I'm not trying to win any popularity contest. And no one should be offended or upset if they get taken off as a friend. It's life. Everyone does it and everyone has it happen to them, for various reasons. I know my name has been take off at times. Yikes!

This whole social networking thing is beginning to swallow my humanity. Being friends with certain people I haven’t talk to in years is too impersonal for me, and to be bombarded with pictures and comments on my wall of acquaintances and their friends' activities feels like I'm intruding on their privacy and frankly I could care less to respond. There's some people that have tried to add me that I know, but I've rejected the invite, These are people (mainly from the past) whom I'd never really talk to in real life. If I ever bumped into them, there wouldn't be a friendly comfortable conversation. When I see people with lot's of friends on their list, I wonder and think what percentage of those people are actually friends they know, or people they'd actually talk to in real life. Sorry to be so pessimistic Ha!, I like facebook, but some people do take it overboard.

The term “Friends” on facebook is a loose term because a person’s definition of a friend all depends on how they use it.

For me, I have facebook because it help me stay more socially connected (through events, photos, and feeds) with people, "My Friends" I really like and care about, but don't see much because of distance. And because of Facebook, I have connected with several wonderful classmates, I thought I'd never had the chance to get to know. and can't wait to meet again.

I don’t use Facebook as an alternate universe for real life, New friends still come from real world connections. Facebook just provides the infrastructure to make them work better.

The real value I get from facebook is;

"Staying connected with Family and old Friends I care about."

Going to Triplet land

Tomorrow morning I'm heading off to Colorado again. Angela is a bit overwhelmed with the move to their new home.  Poor Ang I could tell in her voice she is screaming out for help due to all the unpacking of boxes and trying to keep up with the Triplets and the lack of energy she's be experiencing lately. 

So Auntie Norma decided it was time to fly out to Colorado and give Angela and Patrick a big hand and help out in anyway I can.  I know it's going to be so much work  and I learn first hand with Triplets it's a never ending job, the minute the Triplets wake up till the second they fall asleep at night, it's non-stop work but it's all worth it at the end of the day.

I thank GOD for allowing me to be able to do this for the Weydemullers, and I'm so lucky to have a wonderful husband and our boys Jon & Cory who are very understanding when I'm away from home for 2-3 weeks. 

I've been thinking, I know I'm irresistable but...

This is my Friend Earl, He's getting a little upset because alot of you people who expect me to post don't even bother commenting on my stuff. You don't want to piss The Earl off!!!!

Leave a frickin comment. umm, I mean… please.

You come to my blog, you read it and you take off as if you were never here… and you leave the blog owner baffled… well, at least interested. Ha!

I want to know who you are. I want to know why you keep coming back, I know I'm irresistable but... I want to know how you found me. Is that too much to ask?

Most of you come often, daily even and I thank you for it. You are a repeat offender. And yet you don’t comment.

Listen up my Peeps! You don’t even have to have an account or register, to leave me a comment did you know that?… Click comments below, and then click anonymous and send me so Love... Come on don't be shy.

It's that time of year of Greed, Selfishness and Sheer Madness

Mary Bell and I flashing Mr. Santa

 Okay as you can see by my long post I really dislike Christmas. Before I start to sound off about Christmas I want to let you what this season means to my family and I. First let me say my childhood Christmas has always been exciting and fun and full of wonderful memories. My Parents and siblings don't understand why I have become such a BahHumbug. They all go all out every year and have competitions with each other on who has the most decorations up.
 I started hating Christmas about 10 years ago. I don't know how to make my story short enough where you could understand why we don't celebrate it without boring you. Hum I'll just say The Ramirez Family don't do presents, we say everyday is Christmas we get whatever we want all year around. We never go without anything. Our Santa (Rudy) is the most giving, generous person in the world. I have what I call a never ending supply of money checking account and so do our boys. So you see who needs a day of Christmas Presents when we have everyday of the year to receive presents.Yes we do have a big dinner on Christmas day. We spend that day with friends who don't have a family to spend it with. I love it we have been doing this for a couple of years now.I do put out a Christmas Tree only because My friends from Walmart know I don't do Christmas and thought they would change my mind by saving me a remote control Pop up tree with all the decorations and light already on the tree all I have to do is plug it in and the tree grown about 8 feet tall. A couple of days before Christmas last year I was shopping in Walmart and the employees from Walmart surprised me with this tree. I took it home and fell in love with it. I've always hated Christmas decoration they just seem so cheesy to me so I don't bother.and don't ask me!
.....................................................................

We are told that "He is the reason for the season", which anyone can see as a lie to most of society. ."Shopping is the reason for the season." It's better to give than to receive? Yea, right. If everyone just sat around and waited to receive, no one would be shopping! I think that the modern Christmas that we celebrate now is nothing but an artificial holiday invented by retailers I seriously don’t think anybody can truly lay out it’s true meaning anymore…
I remember it use to be about an attitude from the heart of sharing, reflection, and spending time with the ones you love. For those who believe in Christianity it is supposed to be a quiet remembrance of the Biblical Christmas story. Most of the traditions make no sense to me. Why decorate my house with lots of colors like Red and white and stupid Christmas decor " LIKE FAKE SNOW" Especially fake snow on your front lawn and windows. What's up with that!!! I live in sunny Southern California it hardly ever rains here so when I see fake snow on peoples Lawns and windows it drives me crazy. 
When you actually start to shop, it's sheer madness. You can't get a parking spot, the lines are endless, tempers flare, etc. After you endure all the chaos of trying to find that 'special gift' for everyone, You come home with a bad headache and tired and still have to clean house and make dinner for the company you forgot was coming. You start to want to kick yourself in the rear for offering to have Christmas at your home for the whole entire family. (usually about 35 show up) and If your family is like mine love/hate relationship and full of dysfunctional individuals who love to pick fights right before the big gathering because I invited or disinvited someone (You know what I go through.) When Christmas comes, everyone gets together and watches as everyone else opens gifts and puts on a horrible display of bad acting because the gift they got sucked and pretends its great. 
Soon after Christmas, retailers whine about how shoppers were stingy this year, and how they didn't make any money. They are bombarded by people returning gifts that sucked. And when your credit card bills arrives, you realize that you have absolutely no financial self control.And why do I want to receive a Christmas card from someone I don’t communicate with the rest of the year telling me they wish me a happy holiday. Oh I get it they don't care the rest of the year to call me to just say Hello and how am I doing? Or you get a card in the mail from someone you forget existed. and let's not forget the ones who only send E-mail Christmas Holiday Cheer. Okay someone shoot me now! ERGH! I dislike Christmas cards. They are the biggest waste of money and natural resources ever invented by humans. Yet of course before Christmas, everyone gets so competitive about the process, purchasing and distributing them by the bag load. I hardly sent out Christmas cards but it's the least I can do to show a little Christmas Cheer,I just send them out to my immediate family to shut them up. Ha! So every year I experience awkward situations when people hand me a card and I give them nothing. Fortunately, most get the message once, and avoid me the year later. I have gotten better the last two years in the send out Holiday card department (Yikes) 
 And my biggest problem with Christmas is :I hate how everyone remembers the poor and homeless people for two weeks, They can't get enough of signing up to buying Christmas Holiday cheer for them. and then promptly forgets about them again till next Christmas. Do what I do. I tell everyone I don't do Christmas and You will not be buying any gifts. You will not be happy to receive any gifts. And "why can't we all say to our "loved ones', "As a Christmas gift, I want you to save the time and mental energy of finding a present for me. Use the money for something you would like at a time most convenient to you." Now, that actually might be pleasant.
 I don't care what other people think of me when Christmas comes around. I know everyone thinks I'm a rude, cheap human being who doesn't have the Christmas spirit. SO WHAT! I am not mean Spirited. Just a Bah-Humbug for Christmas I DISLIKE everything about it and can’t wait until it’s over!

Is it snowing yet?

As I was getting the Triplet's ready to go back home to Colorado, They asked me if I was going with them . My heart broke as I explained to them that only the Triplets will be going with their Papa. They didn't quite understand why? So I kind of told them that Auntie needs to stay in California until it starts snowing in Colorado. I made a Promise to the Triplets right before they left and told them "When it's start snowing, Auntie Norma will be on the first plane to Colorado. When I call the Triplets just about everyday I ask them:

• Auntie: Is it snowing yet?
• Triplets: No not yet Auntie
• Auntie: Do you remember what you have to do when the snow starts falling down
• Triplets" CALL OUR AUNTIE"

I've got my bag packed and ready to go! You would think I was having a baby soon. Ha!

Weekend Happanings!

Friday I got HornBlasted. 

For years I've been watching these silly video's of unexpected humans getting Horn blasted and I would laugh myself silly at people's reactions to this loud horn and thought how much these people over reacted to this horn that sound like a freight train.

Well Friday I was a victim to this obnoxious loud nuisance. It scared the life out of me. 

I never knew how far up my right knee cap can touch my nose and how my arms can swing the way they did! and how I can close my eyes real tight and sing opera at the same time (oh so talented me!) ERGH! and I just never realized how loud the blast makes till I got Blasted.

Friday early afternoon I was walking towards my car in a supermarket parking lot and out of no where this car drove by me and tooted it's mighty horn!!!  I now promise I will never laugh and make fun of these poor innocent victims in these HornBlaster video. "I will laugh with them" Hahahaha!  

Why oh Why?

I can count how many years I've had a computer and been online by counting the inches on my butt. HA!

Every night I tell myself I won't be long on the computer so I could get a good night's rest. Every morning I tell myself I'll log on for a minute or two.. just long enough to enjoy a cup of coffee. (I know you're smiling because you know what comes next.)

The next thing I know hours (and HOURS) have gone by. There are time I manage to rush around and tidy up enough to satisfy myself that the day wasn't a total loss.. but the inches keep adding up. At least this is my only addiction! Right?

Where's Cory?

This is our Cory

Last night I called my son Cory to say Goodnight, I asked him what he was doing? He said he and Jon were at his friend Joey's place.
After talking with Cory I called the Hubby to say Goodnight and here was my conversation with him;

• Hubby: Hello
• Me: Hi Baby calling to wish you a goodnight, Where is Cory?
• Hubby: Um he is in Jon's Room.
• Me: Oh ya
• Hubby: Yes
• Me: (trying not to get mad) "DO YOU KNOW REALLY KNOW WHERE CORY IS?"

ERGH!

Than as I informed him , Even though I am two states away I know where our son is! As I help watching over the Weydemuller Triplets, I ask myself who's watching my children.........

Who you callin Grandma?

These past couple of weeks as I took the Triplets out shopping or the beach, people have come up to Me and flat out said "Oh Grandma must be proud of her triplets or what a lucky grandma, "WHAT" I want to say to them "Who you calling Grandma?" I don't know about your thoughts on how a Grandma or Grandpa should look like, Is it the many wrinkles around the eyes or the tired look or is it that they see how much love I have for Kieran, Haydan and Presley. Huh! As much as I am looking forward to being a grandmother, right now I'm not ready to be called Grandma!

I love this picture of this Granny. Pretty cool and funny with her own sense of style and not a care in the world as she smokes her cigar. I always believe you are only as old as you feel! and I'll bet this Granny feels real good about herself and never want to grow old. YOU GO GRANDMA!

I am at peace now and trust Gods decision.

May I go now? Do you think the time is right? May I say goodbye to pain filled days and endless lonely nights?

I've lived my life and done my best, an example I tried to be. So can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free?

I didn't want to go at first, I fought with all my might. But something seems to draw me now to a warm and living light. I want to go I really do. It's difficult to stay. But I will try as best I can to live just one more day.

To give you time to care for me and share your love and fears. I know you're sad and afraid, because I see your tears.

I'll not be far, I promise that, and hope you'll always know that my spirit will be close to you wherever you may go. Thank you so for loving me. You know I love you too,that's why it's hard to say goodbye and end this life with you.

So hold me now just one more time and let me hear you say, because you care so much for me, you'll let me go real soon.

............................

I found this poem and wanted to post it.

I believe if Molly could talk she would be telling us exactly what this poem says..

..........................................................

My family and I are so sadden by our Molly's health failing so quickly. She now has very little use of her back legs and will no longer eat and drinks very little. I finally broke down and gave my Molly to God. I put all my trust in him, whatever God decides for Molly I will be at Peace.

Update on Molly

Okay here is my update on our beloved dog Molly. Sorry it took me a while.

Last Wednesday Molly came home from the Vet. AGAIN! The Vet took more test and could not find nothing wrong with Our Molly. I was getting very frustrated with Molly's situation and the Veterinarian. I started to look to the internet for any possible answer. After reading up on some sites I decided to give my own Diagnosis of what is wrong with Molly! Ever since Jonathan moved out and the Triplets left for Germany, Molly shut down and became distant to the world. My poor dogie I know now that is what it is. I would call out the Triplets names and Jonathan's name. Even in Molly's lethargic mode she would get a burst of energy and look all over for them. It breaks my heart to see her sadness when she would give up looking for them. So here it is my Diagnosis: "Depression" Yes like humans dogs also get depressed. I read what to look for regarding depression in dogs and all the signs Molly was showing was there. After reading different sights I decided that she is suffering from depression. I could look into getting her a dog Psychologist. Like Cesar Millan you know "The Dog Whisper"

Only if I hit the Lotto. Do you how much a shrink cost for a dog sessions. Wow it is unbelievable. It a whole lotta mula. ( I checked already).

Molly has been eating a little more. Somedays are better that others it's driving me insane! What dog would turn down a great big piece of juicy steak or a big pork chop smothered in gravy. Yup! Molly has been getting the royal dog treatment. The Veterinarion told us to feed her whatever she can eat. That includes table food. Rudy hates when we use to feed Molly our leftovers from dinner, But Hey Doctors orders. I am trying everything possible to make her content Molly is still very Lethargic and that is driving me crazy. She use to be such a happy dog. She use to be my daytime shadow, and my Greeter when I walked through the door. But lately she just lays on her dogie bed. Errrgh! If anybody has any suggestions "Please" E-mail me.

Thank you for all the nice E-mails and Keep praying for Molly because I do believe that Miracles can happen!

Molly does look a little bit better than last week. There is hope for her!!

Please pray for Miss Molly

Wow what a couple of weeks full of emotions. I keep thinking it's going to get better and right before I see the sunshine it rains again. My poor Miss Molly is back in the Hospital! It going on 2 weeks now that Molly does not eat! She just drinks lots of water. I tryed just about everything to make her eat. I even bought a big juicy steak for her and she refused it. It's not like her to do that. I am really getting worried. She is down to 42 pounds. she is very skinny. Rudy took her back to the Vet's for more testing this afternoon. This time they X-rayed her and found nothing and we are waiting for more more Blood test results.. Errgghhh! She had to stay over night for more IV feedings. and again we will be expecting another expensive vet bill. I don't care as long as they make my Molly well again! Please pray for her.

Molly is in the hospital!!

My Baby Girl Molly has been Hospitalized! I feel so lost without my day time shadow! On yesterday's post regarding Mollys costume I fail to mention how sad my doggie has been since the Triplets left to grandma & Grandpa's house last week. For all I know she was depressed and I was doing my best to make her happy, even buying her costume early. Molly has not been eating in the last 4 days "NOTHING" She did drink lot's of water sometimes way to much like she could not get enough of it! She even stop Barking at the Mail Man and that crazy driving UPS truck. As I was taking her Halloween Super Dog costume Pictures I notice her so weak only one Picture I took out of many she sat up only because I made her, My poor baby. I looked straight into her hazel eyes and notice her joy was gone. I immediately rushed her to Veterinarian. There Dr. Giannone check her out and said My Molly Lypmphnodes are very swollen. The Doctor needed to run some test on her to make sure she does not have "Lymphoma" All I heard was CANCER Oh my God my Molly Cancer! Also the Doctor needed Molly to stay in the hospital for a couple of Days so the can put an IV in her because she was very weak and very dehidrated. I checked her in kissed her goodby and left! Oh the tears we shed for our beloved pets. I had to think positive or I was going to lose it. It took me till this afternoon to compose myself and pay my Molly a visit. She was so happy to see me & Cory. She even wagged her tail. I about lost it! I just wanted to crawl in the cage with her and tell her it is going to be alright. One of the employees notice Molly so happy with us he decided to give her some of his Lunch (Tuna fish sandwich) She has not touched food in 5 days. He figure she's happy she might eat "SHE DID" she ate half of his sandwich Oh how Happy that made me! Molly is such a great dog; so affectionate, so caring, so smart. It really breaksmy heart and everyones hearts who knows her that she’s going through such troubles. She’s such an important part of my life, and my family’s life. She’s young, only six years. Please Pray for her and my Family. As Tomarrow we should know the results of her TEST! Thanks,

Finally Auntie Norma has her triplets

Okay Now I can say The Weydemullers are all in California. You Remember reading how stressed out I was. Well the stress got so bad. I had a feeling my sister would make the morning flight to BWI, and I had no seat on any plane to get me there and it was going on 6:00pm. After many calls to the airline to re-book my flight the airfare seem to go up with every ticking moment. It went from $489.00 to $800-$1,000 plus $100.00 change fee. Oh I felt sick to my stomach. All I wanted to do was crawl into bed so I did. So what would a great Testimony be without going thru any difficulties in our life right? God is so awsome! For a while now I believe there are Angels sent by God to do his work. "Here is my Testimony" As I layed in bed I can hear God's whispers in my ear telling me to get up and go to the airport, With a weak effort I got up changed my shoes, and grabbed my purse. Rudy was thru the front door as I was leaving, he asked where I was going and like a nut I said "Going to LAX airport to standby for any flight leaving to BWI, I grab for my keys and said to Rudy don't worry about taking me, I am leaving the car at the airport, Call you if I make the flight! He looked at me like I Cracked and needed to check into the nut farm. The time was 7:15 I knew there was a 8:45 flt I could try to make, crazy huh! (I live about 25minutes to LAX) When I arrived at the airport there was a mile long line for checking in. I stopped a airline agent who was answering questions. She kinda laughed at me and said Good luck getting a flight out tonight most of our flight have been delayed due to weather in LAS and PHX. and all flight are sold out now. Errr... She gave me no hope. I called the airlines one more time only to hear the same thing but over the phone. As I headed towards home. Again I heard God telling me to Go back. So I turned the car around and headed towards the airport again. I arrived 1/2 hour later. The line has diminished. I walked up to the tkt counter line and the same agent stopped me and told me to line up against the wall with the other passengers waiting to get help. Than here comes the best part of this long story. The agent behind the counter called me over right when I was headed towards the line of people waiting for help. I went over and I explain my story to her without sobing or playing my violin (ha) I was way to tired to be a drama queen, I did play a walking zombie real good that day. (lol) I could tell she was a fairly new agent because she kept looking at a little notepad where she keeped her computer entry notes. (Ha I had one to when I worked behind the ticket counter). She called her supervisor over for help I again explained to her my problem, (Sis arriving to BWI with triplets and I had to be there at the airport before she arrived and get the back to california before my brother-in-law arrives from Iraq anytime soon. The supervisor reached her hand and touched my hand and said "Don't worry about anything I am going to put you on a priority standby list, You must hurry to the gate because soon they will be boarding" I took my wallet out so I can pay for the change in ticket and asked her How much is it going to cost me? I will never forget how she said it in a very caring voice " Don't worry it's all taken care of" Just go to the gate and if you don't get on this flight come back and see me. OH my Gosh I was in awww. I felt so close to God at that moment. I just stood there speechless and felt the work of Gods Angels... When I got to the gate they called my name, The agent handed me a paper and said hurry get on the plane. OH MY GOD I MADE IT! I arrived BWI airport with no problem and with 2 hours to spare. I now trusted in GOD that Angela made the standby list. As I waited in Customs waiting area people where finally coming out after 10 minutes of sitting on pins and needles. The doors opened up and I saw Angela and the babies come out! Wow talk about the feeling of great happiness just to see my sister again and my sweet babies. So this is my story. I strongly believe in GOD'S blessings. My Mom always told me in order to recieve GOD'S blessings you first must give. And always remember GOD is always there for you, in good times and in Bad times, He is always testing you to see how much you trust in him......

Got Triplets? "Well I sure don't!"

Got Triplets? Well I sure don't! Okay now my flight drama is getting big production, and my headache is just getting stronger! I'm still here in California, Angela did not make any of the two flights out (she is traveling standby) So I had to cancel mine and Angela's flight because obviously we were not going to make those flights to and from California. So now Angela will try standby again in the morning out of Germany. I'm checking my flights for tonight and it look pretty ugly as far as seat availabilities, I purchase the ticket with restriction what that means is the type of ticket I purchased does not have seats available!!! Errrrrrrr I'm just going to arrive at the airport again and hope and pray a seat will open up for me and I could go. If I take a morning flight I won't get there till the late afternoon and hope Angela is there if not I have to wait till midnight for her. You think I had patience for standby, I worked for Northwest Airlines for 16years I should know better, I guess getting old doesn't allow patience anymore. Stay tuned for more!
