Hi again

Hi everyone,

On Friday my son, Shawn brought me my new computer and installed all kinds of stuff and now I am up and running again.

Hi Sarah, it's good to see you as a follower. I feel bad that I don't know how to get in contact with you anymore, but we aren't there either. You can leave me a message on Face Book sometime and let me know who I could contact to reach you. I really hoped more people would be able to get my new book from where we used to meet , but it came out about the same time 'the you know what hit the fan.' I think it's a really good book and maybe sometime you could get it and I think it would bless you. I know others have told me it has blessed them and that was the whole plan.

About the book, anyone who reads it will be following the life of a young woman named Beth Hurley. She made one fateful mistake by taking a girlfriends dare and her life was turned upside down for many years because of it. Beth thinks God will never forgive her, and she keeps making things worse by keeping a lie going. One woman told me she was in a similar situation as Beth but God sent four friends to help her get out of it and she ended up marrying one of these people. She said my story had touched her heart in a special way.

Okay, I have had a request from one of the followers of this blog to keep going about my life. I have always thought it would make a good book but never could make myself begin it. It is embarrassing for one thing and even though I believe the Lord wants this to happen, I just don't know how to do this. Prayer support might get me started, but I can't promise anything.

Another person who got the book on-line at Barnes and Noble said they would like to see a sequel. We'll see because I have already started something else.

I'm going to close for now, I've been catching up with e-mail and Face Book for hours now, and my honey needs to be able to spend a little time with me tonight.

Maybe tomorrow,

God bless you my dear family and friends.

Short continuation

Well, I should just shut up and continue with my busy life and forget about babies. Right? Okay, soon. Fifteen months after losing the baby I was pregnant and ecstatically happy. And very, very sick. But nothing unusual. normal pregnancy except I was huge and everyone teased me about having twins. My dad's sister had twins, and John's grandma had twins, so it could have been possible. At a late term doctor appointment, my doctor said she thought she felt two heads. So, I was off to ultrasound, after drinking about a gallon of water. What did they find? One baby. I had about an hour before the test to think about the possibility of two. Three weeks later, Shawn Michael came flying out of the shoot. Don't I wish it was that easy. He weighed 9 lbs.. 2 ozs., a good size little guy. Three years later? I know what you're thinking, no we didn't have any more, but we did become grandparents then. I became a Nana at 36. Well, I could quit right here or go on. So one of my followers better give me some feedback. Please. are you bored or do you want me to continue. That's the story of our seven children and some of how we got started.

Don't forget WHAT'S DONE IS DONE is on website at B&N and I'm going to check now to see if anyone else has it yet. It's a great story, I think you will fall in love with Beth (sooner or later). I would also love for some suggestions about my next novel. Look forward to hearing from some of you about this. Follow along and maybe from time to time, maybe I'll ask for help making the next one as good or better than this one.

Until then dear family and friends,

God Bless all of you.

very short

Hi friends,

I am at the library and I don't have much time left. I will write in a day or two. Shawn is planning on bringing out my new computer on Friday. Praise God, I'll be up and running again. Sorry about this short note.

Will return soon.

No more after Scott, okay,sure.

It's been weeks since I've been on this. I still don't have my own computer back yet, but Shawn says next week I should have everything I need. Probably at the end of the week. But some of you don't know about Shawn yet, do you? Well, I am going to make you wait a little while yet.
The novel is done and it can be ordered on-line at Barnes and Nobles. Just search book title or my name. WHAT'S DONE IS DONE or SUE KELLY. I'm told it will be on Borders website soon too. I also have cards if people want to buy it directly from me. But I would need to know who was interested to send you a card with my info.

We had a couple of very good friends visit from Farmington Il. To make a long story short my friend fell in the motel and broke her arm. I drove them home because the plane trip with those tiny seats wouldn't have been good for her. She was in a lot of pain. I was there a couple of days and they graciously got me a ticket to fly home. So, that is a good part of the reason I have not been writing on this.

I need to leave here soon, so I'll just give you a little taste of what is coming next. After Scott started school I was a happy camper for a couple years, then, yeah you guessed it I was wanting another baby. We agreed that we couldn't afford another one and at the same time agreed that what was one more. So, we soon were expecting again. But this time something was different. I asked my doctor if someone could really be pregnant and not be feeling sick in the beginning and she assured me that a lot of women aren't sick and yes, I really was pregnant. She did say that because this was unusual for me it could be a signal that something was wrong.
Bottom line, at thirteen weeks I had my first and only miscarriage. Boy, that was as bad as delivering a full term baby. The contractions were as hard, but it was over quicker.

Need to close for now.
Goodbye dear friends and family.

The Next Page

I promised to tell you more about that night in the hospital with Wayne. So here it is.
I didn't sleep much that night and sometime during the night I just was resting on the bed, and as I looked up at the ceiling I felt like everything in the room and the hallway went dark. All I could see was a bright light that looked like it was was up at the end of a tunnel. Iwas facinated and kept staring at the light. I didn't see anything but the light. Now if this sounds strange to you I don't blame you, but it was there. Finally, I said "God, I'm going to assume this is for me to talk to you. So here is what is on my heart. I might be crazy, but you know I have secretly been thinking about another baby. Now, all I want is for Wayne to be ok. If you will heal him, I will never ask you for another child."

I think most people will try to bargain with God if they are scared enough. Even people who aren't sure they believe He is real. So, I asked, and meant it with all my heart.

The next day we went home after Wayne's tests and went back to a normal life. The following month I found out that I was pregnant. I was a little confused about my feelings for a couple days but then realized I had kept my end of the bargain so I could relax and be happy. I told John on Christmas eve and he was happy too. Our new little one was due to arrive at the beginning of August but he made his entrance on July 28, my birthday. He was another 7 lb. and ? oz. We named him Scott Marshall. What a blessing he was to us. And still is. Well, we're up to six now and I have always said we had the two, John wanted and the four I wanted. Was this perfect or what!

Now, I had my hands full and you can believe that. Our life was very full and my wonderful husband decided to take up a hobby for himself. It was a CB radio. He loved it, and I hated it as much as he loved it. Probably more. All his spare time was spent talking to people on this thing. He did his best to try to get me interested in it but I wanted no part of it. It got worse when he worked nights and came home about 8:30 ish and was on the radio until about an hour before the older kids came home from school, then he went to bed and I had to keep the noise level down so he could sleep untill about 10:30 in the evening so he could eat and go to work. Most of the kids only saw him on his days off. I became more and more depressed, and yes, very angry. This continued for about four years. I tried to go to a christmas party and a picnic with him a couple of times but I couldn't enjoy myself. I think I began to experience some of the old panic attacks I had in school. I just would shake before we got to one of these gatherings. I didn't tell John about these anymore than I told my parents about school. I'm sure if I had told him we would have resolved this radio issue long before we did.
Well my time is up again and so I need to go. My girlfriends are taking me out tonight for my birthday. I have already been out twice this week. First, my boss (and good friend Sharon)and four ladies I work with took both, John and I out to eat. The next night was my(our) birthday and we took Scott out for dinner to celebrate our birthday. Now, tonight one more outing. I feel pretty special. Thank you for all the birthday wishes they were sent to me from facebook.

Goodbye dear friends and loving family.

What is next?

Wow. It seems like forever since I've been on here. My new computer will be here next week and then Shawn is adding some programs for me, so that will take a little extra time. I know that he does work a full time job, takes care of three little ones on the nights that Lesley works and has a life of his own. But he still finds time to do this for me? My kids are grown, but everyone of them are so good to me. I don't deserve all they do for me. At the same time, I really appreciate it.

Now, for the novel information. They are sending an express copy to me to review, again, for printer errors. I think it should be here tomorrow or the next day. If it is okay. I'll call them and they can start printing some for me. I'll be giving everyone I can a business card, so you can order from me. I think I'll be able to give local people a break by delivering to them and then they will not have the shipping and handling fee which is pretty high. If you want to order it from Barnes and Nobel they give a discount and a smaller S&H fee. My card will just give my information. Actually, having this virus problem with my computer I might be a little gun shy about opening e-mail from people I don't know. My phone number will be on it, but you won't find anyone before 10 am. You can leave a message and I can get back to you at a convenient time for you. I'm guessing I will have some books about the same time as I get my new computer. Now I am getting excited. I will keep the blog going about my life but I need to get people a little familiar with what the story is about also.

Today, we'll continue. When Wayne was 8 months old, I picked him up from his crib and there was a small amount of blood on the sheet and in his mouth. So, off to the hospital we went. He was kept overnight for observation. They even brought in a hospital bed for me. I couldn't hold him because he had an IV in his foot and they didn't want it moved very much. I think he would have moved it less if I had held him, but I was worried so I listened to the doctors. They had a meeting with John, and I, and said whatever it was, it could be very serious. They were calling in a ear,nose and throat specialist to see him in the morning. Our pediatrician wasn't worried, she said a small capillary in the back of his throat probably burst. No big deal. Long story short, she was right, but he did have to get an upper GI and an exam which was not pleasant when the doctor shoved his fingers into his little mouth and then up into the back of his nose. I can still see it in my mind. I have to go now and I really want to keep going and tell you about that night in the hospital. What a great experience I had. I guess it will have to wait till tomorrow.


I have a friend in the hospital who had major surgery today and I know of a teen (girl) who is in very bad condition from an accident so if you read this and believe in prayer please keep these two in your prayers for healing.

God Bless dear family and friends.

6 am ?

It really can not be that I have been awake since 6 this morning. Can it? Well, I really have been and since about 6:30 I started thinking about what I would write for you all today. I went over in my mind where to pick up from yesterday because I'm not comfortable with the coming home day. After praying about it, I have decided that it's not that it was a bad day, actually it was a great day, but a very private one in my mind. Now, I know Todd remembers some of it but I'm not sure about Bob, but Mary and Ginny were too young. In fact Virginia was only about nine months old. So if any of my kids, even the ones who came later, want to know, they only have to ask and I'll go over the day with them. But I feel for the general reader not related, I'd like to keep that part private. Maybe I'll change my mind later, you never know.

The first five months we lived with my mom and dad. John went to work for my dad in his construction company, but he found another job in about three weeks. My dad was a hard person to work for. He wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty and worked right along with his men but he wanted everything perfect. It is very hard to work for someone like that. My brother even had to quit because he could never please Dad. Being the boss's son, RT had to be above the others, and he couldn't live up to Dad's expectations of him.

I started talking to John about the fact that we cheated our families, especially the grandparents of being around when I was expecting and being at the hospital when I was in labor and holding their newborn grandchild. It took some convincing on my part, but we finally decided that one more wasn't going to be a big deal. So about 15 months after we came home, we had another little boy. I went into labor on my mother-in-laws birthday but I was so tired I just took a nap and the contractions stopped. I remember watching a movie at my parents house. We had rented a house in Avon then. But decided to come into Henrietta to be closer to the hospital. When the movie was over my dad said, "I'm going to bed, you're not having that kid tonight." But at midnight the pains started again and at 4:35 the next morning I delivered a 8 lb. ? oz. baby boy. We named him Wayne Patrick.
I was not well at all the first few months, and not being around me for the others, my mom and John's were whispering about the fact that I probably wouldn't carry this baby for long. I did and he was perfect. Still is. That's just for you angel baby!

Before I quit for the day, I want to tell you that I am getting a new computer. One of my two computer savy sons has found one for me and is ordering it today. Thank you Shawn Sr.,my honeyson.

Until next time dear friends and family,
Goodbye and God Bless you all.
