RIP Danny Hogg

Last night I got a phone call from my mom I had no clue what was going on because she had gotten surgery the day before. I thought that something was wrong with her and was worried what it might be. The phone call was still bad she was crying as she told me that my uncle Danny had been killed a little while ago. She told me that he was working when it happened....He works for Tigers Towing and he was on call to pick up a truck and tow it. While he was in the middle of the loading the truck up onto the rollback a Big Penski Truck was driving too fast and hit him. They took him down to MUSC right away and we were told that he did pretty much as soon as he got to the hospital. Then today I found out that they are trying to charge the guy that hit him with murder now instead of just a ticket for driving too fast. They believe that the truck's mirror hit my uncle danny and killed him instantly. I just really want to beat the crap out of the guy who hit my uncle because if you are driving and you see a truck being loaded on the side of the road you are suppose to move over to a farther lane or slow down (alot) and get as far over in the lane as you can. So why would you drive really fast in a big truck for one and not move over whenever you see a tow truck loading up another vehicle. You like have to be a total idiot not to use commen sense and move over and/or slow down. Im really hoping that I will be able to go to the funeral I have to see if my husband is going to be able to get time off.
I LOVE AND MISS YOU UNCLE DANNY!

Good News

So I found out awhile ago that my Papaw had cancer and was given 3-9 months to live. That was one of the hardest things to hear. He is like one of the best men you will meet and didnt deserve news like that.....
Well Just the other day I was told that the chemo he was taking was going good and they learned that it had also stopped the cancer from grow and spreading. I was so happy to hear that it had stopped and that the chemo had been working. Later that day I ended up hearing the song "small time southern man" by alan jackson and it just reminded me of him.

Born the middle son of a farmerAnd a small town Southern manLike his daddy's daddy before himBrought up workin' on the landFell in love with a small town womanAnd they married up and settled downNatural way of life if you're luckyFor a small town Southern manFirst there came four pretty daughtersFor this small town Southern manThen a few years later came anotherA boy, he wasn't plannedSeven people livin' all togetherIn a house built with his own handsLittle words with love and understandin'From a small town Southern manChorus:And he bowed his head to JesusAnd he stood for Uncle SamAnd he only loved one woman(He) was always proud of what he hadHe said his greatest contributionIs the ones you leave behindRaised on the ways and gentle kindnessOf a small town Southern man(Raised on the ways and gentle kindness)(Of a small town Southern man)Callous hands told the storyFor this small town Southern manHe gave it all to keep it all togetherAnd keep his family on his landLike his daddy, years wore out his bodyMade it hard just to walk and standYou can break the backBut you can't break the spiritOf a small town Southern man(Repeat Chorus)Finally death came callin'For this small town Southern manHe said it's alright 'cause I see angelsAnd they got me by the handDon't you cry, and don't you worryI'm blessed, and I know I am'Cause God has a place in HeavenFor a small town Southern man(Repeat Chorus)

Lucky


I am so lucky I have a great husband, a wonderful son and another little boy on the way. I cant believe how wonderful things have been for me lately. I am so lucky to have the husband that I have Im so glad that we have made it through everything in the past and not let it end us. He has tried to be so helpful through this pregnancy and has gone to almost all my appointments with me. He tells me everyday how much he loves me and gives me a kisses all the time and loves to snuggle with me. He has let me raise James the way that I have wanted to and Im glad that he has let me be a stay at home mom. I love that so much and Im so thankful that I get the chance to live this life. On the other hand I have a beautiful baby boy that he gave me who is so much fun. He is so loving and has taught me so much just in the two years that he has been alive. I love him so much and i wouldnt change one thing about him I just hope that Christopher takes after James. Now I am being blessed with another little bundle of joy and Im so happy. It took over a year for us to get pregnant again but it finally happened and we are so happy. Somedays I just cant believe that I have everything that I have and I just realize how lucky I am.

Trying To Rest

So on Monday I had another wonderful doctors appointment and I was told that I should try and go on bedrest. The doctor said it would be really good and help make sure that I wont have another premature baby.I was like are you serious everything would fall apart if I went on bedrest. I have so much on my plate right now I cant go on bed rest I have to take care of my son the dogs, look for houses, pack since we have to move in like 2 months, clean and so much more. So I have been trying to take it easy the last few days its been much easier on me but I know it is all just piling up for me to do anyways. You would think that since my brother was here that it would be easier but its not he doesnt do anything other than make a mess and spoil James. Now I have another person to clean up after and it is just driving me crazy because no matter what I do its still a mess. I just wish that he would try harder to find a job or school or just go back home since he isnt doing anything other than playing an online game. Im trying not to stress myself out with all of this but it is hard I just dont want this baby to be earlier too. Im only 3 weeks away from when I had James and Im so worried that Im going to have Christopher early too. I just wish that I could rest like the doctor told me because then I would be worried about having Chris early. So I decided that Im not doing anything for the rest of this week other than maybe cook dinner and play with James.
