Update

So I haven't been writing as much. I have been preoccupied with Ancestry com. I have been working on my family tree. I have found out so much interesting stuff about my family. Especially about my Uncle Boggs who is my Grandpa Collins brother. Uncle Boggs was a hero a war hero. He was in the Army and was given the Distinguished Croas I believe its called. They even wrote about him in a book. Grandpa Collins was in the Army too he was a cook like me. Mom's side has Army and Dad's side has Army.

So I have been sick for a coupke days. I am so done with being sick already. I have been constantly blowing my nose. That's all I have been doing at work and at home is blowing my nose. Ita irritating. I have taken medicine ao hopefully goes it away soon.

This morning a drunk guy came in and I ended up talking him into buying a jar of Oysters lol. It was a busy day today. I didn't get much of the cleaning list done but I was busy today. And we start raising money for MS tomorrow so I had to get ready dor that. Last year I raised over two hundred dollars for MS and won a three hundred dollar Best Buy Gift Card. Wonder how well I will do this year, we shall see.

So last night Uncle Harold, my Grandpa Collins brother died. Its a sad time. His mind was going, at least now he won't have to suffer. He is in heaven with Grandma Collins.

Jen is off today and laying on the couch. She don't feel well either and I think I may have gotten her sick. She was coughing. I feel bad if I did get her sick. Ita not fun being sick. All day at work I felt miserable. My voice ia different cos my throat hurts and I can't stop coughing and sneezing.

I am going to work on sending the email to Thurmon King who runs the Sackett Family Website. He needs the information on my ancestors. The website has my Great Grandpa George Sackett on there so I am going to start with him and go down to me. It shouldn't be too much to type if only I can concentrate while doing it. Cinder likes to interupt me cos she wants attention. I can't wait to get the information on the website. That way I will feel more like I am part of the Sackett Family.

Sackett Family

There is a website completely dedicated to the Sackett Family. It has Sackett's from all over the place on the site. I have been working on the Sackett part of my family tree. I have come to kind of a dead end but I am hoping that the Sackett site will help me with that. I stopped at Israel Sackett who is my Great Great Grandfather. If that is my Great Grandfather's father. I need to do more research on it. I sent an email to the Administrator of the site because my Grandma wasn't on there and so now I have to send him the info with descendents so he can add them on there. I need to do more research before I do that just to make sure.

Thanksgiving Dinner

I miss the traditional Thanksgiving where we'd go over Grandma Collins house and eat Thanksgiving Dinner around the table with all the family gathered there. And eating all Grandma's delicious foods that she cooked. And after dinner sitting around talking and catching up on things and talking about memories of the past. Mostly I miss the traditional Thanksgiving Dinner where we'd go to Grandma and Grandpa's house and spend time with family. I miss my family and I really miss my Grandma. Thanksgiving isn't the same without her. I think next year I am going to cook Thanksgiving Dinner myself. This year I went with Jen and her family to Golden Corral to eat Thanksgiving Dinner. We waited in line for 40 minutes until finally we got a place and could eat. There was 14 of us so they had to give us two tables. Ladt year Jen and I had Thanksgiving Dinner at our house when we lived up on the mountain and we had her family there and we ate and watched football, the way its supposed to be on Thanksgiving. Football, family and food. Next year I am cooking Thanksgiving Dinner and hopefully Mom and Dad will come over and Jen's family and Grandpa and Bear and Scoop and Eric. If not I will eat and watch football by myself. I am sure Bear and Scoop and Eric will come. Every Thanksgiving before I got with Jen I always them three over for dinner. The tradition got broken I am going to have to make it a tradition again. I had a good Thanksgiving this year. I only worked 5 hours today and then went to eat at Golden Corral with Jen and her family. But, eating Thanksgiving Dinner at a restaurant isn't the same as a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner where you eat at home with family and watch football and everything that comes with that. I am definitely cooking next year.

Thanksgiving

Jen came and picked me up and we went to Golden Corral. The parking lot was full, there wasn't one empty parking spot. So Jen and I went and parked at Lowe's. We were an hour early so we decided to go to Starbucks and then we went back and parked at Lowe's and sat in the car until 3. Then we headed up to Golden Corral and met the family. There was 14 of us and we waited in line for about 15 minutes or longer. Finally we got in there and sat down. We all had to sit at two different tables. The kids were hyper and wouldn't listen to Brittany. She was getting frustrated poor Brit. Jen and Brittany together are crazy. It's like being around escaped mental patients but it's fun being around them because they are hilarious. Half the time I don't understand what they are saying, it's like they are speaking their own language lol. Brittany said I look like a mental patient lol because I had my Tennessee Vols Beanie on and my Real Tree Eskimo hat on. Lol. I pride myself in NOT looking normal. I don't care what people think. When I am cold I will do whatever to stay warm. I wear a lot of hats and clothes in the Winter. Lol I am a nerd but oh well. So I missed the Macy Day Parade unfortunately but oh well. Maybe next year I can watch it. I always miss it every year. Jen and I are at home and I am watching the news and Jen is laying on the couch trying to rest cos she worked third shift last night and hadn't slept today. They're talking about Black Friday on the news, let the craziness begin. Hope everyone had and has a great Thanksgiving. Enjoy your evening. Have a great holiday weekend and be safe.

Thanksgiving Day

Went to work and did paperwork and then helped Peggy clean. Then I decided to check out of dates. I didn't finish because it was time for me to go home. Came home and Jen wasn't home so I took Bella and Cinder outside. I missed the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. Then I gave the dog's water and mopped and swept the kitchen. Now I am sitting outside with the dogs. Next I am going to start laundry because I am so behind on it. Not sure what else the day will be like. I got off at 12 and Jen still hasn't come home but she is at her Grandparents so I understand that she should be with them cos its important to spend time with your family on Thanksgiving. Mom and Dad don't celebrate Thanksgiving. I figured Jen would be home when I got here so we could apend Thanksgiving together. Oh well its all good. I am spending Thanksgiving with my dogs Bella and Cinder. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Be thankful for everything and everyone you got. Enjoy your day.

Sick

I am sick. Took Niquil last night and went to bed then woke up this morning and my throat was sore and still is. Went and got orange juice and drank one this morning. Took some Mucinex DM. My throat is sore, my nose is running and I keep coughing and my chest hurts. Ahh I hope feel better soon. I feel like crap.

Family Search Making Me Angry

I am searching for anything I can on my Grandma Kirchner and Uncle Georg Kirchner and I am not finding much. It is frustrating me and I am getting very angry and want to punch someone in the face. My family has secrets things I don't know but I seek to find out. If only I knew where my Grandma went after she left my Grandpa. She had to of taken Uncle Georg with her because as far as I know he didn't stay with Grandpa Kirchner. Grandpa Kirchner was a violent angry man from what I have heard. So what the fuck happened to them? There has to be something, anything about them. If I had more information about them I could probably find out more about them but I got nothing. I just feel like with the way my Grandpa was and how he acted that is why there are so many secrets and no one wants to give up information. Maybe he was a bad man, maybe he killed Grandma Kirchner and Uncle Georg or maybe they escaped from him and if they did where did they go? Back to Austria where my Grandma's from? Or did they escape to the United States? Ahhhhhh I am so frustrated, I want to know the truth. I am seriously angry right now. Frustrated and angry. Its like there is no trace of them. Or have I seen information about them and overlooked it because I didn't know it was info about them? Grrrrr. I need to take a freakin anxiety pill. I will not stop until I find out the truth. Its important to me. I found my dad's siblings, I have gotten this far so I am not stopping now.
