Snacks, clothes, my school lunches, shoes and my way into Teen town. So it didn’t take me long to realize I needed to have a job so I started baby sitting. At one time I had 28 different families I baby sat for. I baby sat any night of the week except Saturdays and that was saved for Teen Town. but if my mom found out I could baby sit on Janicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16740005832754383294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559302553778279733.post-11304699798454341182011-09-05T12:56:00.000-07:002011-09-05T12:56:03.416-07:00Some News You Need To KnowTo all our family and friends, from the Grove family in Ohio.

I just graduated from the 8th grade and would be going to high school in the fall. I will admit that I had two reasons for going to high school: 1. I went to socialize and
2. I went knowing I would graduate and education is the only thing that cannot be taken from you. I graduated mainly because everyone said I would not do it.

She and I were four years apart and we were best of friends. We had a funeral one time with our dolls. The dolls were left out in the sun and got cracked and the rubber on them melted. We felt sorry for them and had a little funeral over them. We buried them in our back yard. MLC was the preacher and I was the mourning parent.

My oldest sister, MJB, was born in 1933. I remember very little of her when we were all home. She worked at Franklin's Ice Cream store. When us kids went to the city pool to go swimming, we had to go right past the store. On the way home we would stop in and she would give us an ice cream cone. I remember one time we stopped inJanicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16740005832754383294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559302553778279733.post-53638484966252220542011-06-23T13:21:00.000-07:002011-06-23T13:21:04.527-07:00MY YEARS AS A CHILDI was born on June 18, 1944, on Father's Day. I weighed 11 lbs. 4 ozs. Yes I was a big baby. I had coal black hair and my mommy said the nurses put bows in my hair in the nursery. When I was born my daddy wasn't at the hospital he was at a bar somewhere. No I don't remember that.
I will start back as far as I can remember.

I had missed them so much. Everyday we went for my treatments. Once a week I had to go to my cancer doctor. And once a week we had to take the baby to have blood work. They were checking his thyroid, which was abnormal and was causing his reflex problem.
The first Sunday after the baby and I came home, we all went to church as a family and we had KGGJ Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559302553778279733.post-77546832157090082532011-06-17T07:48:00.000-07:002011-06-20T02:58:30.457-07:00MIRACLE BABY - Part 4We got our baby boy and we named him after his dad, a junior. From now on he will be known here as KGGJ. He was OK, the doctor said. Another prayer had been answered, but then they rushed him to the nursery. They took me to a room on the maternity floor, gave me a shot and I went to sleep. How long I slept I do not know. But when I woke up I wanted to see my baby.

Because I was getting bigger it hurt my incision. I will always remember how I could not have the girls set on my lap because the incision hurt when they did. I still wonder if the girls held that against me.
KAGH had long pretty blond hair and it was just curly enough, but because I could not comb it we had to cut it short.

I started to cry and he asked me why I was crying?
Here I am in a hospital bed with both my arms up on pillows. The doctor had accidentally cut an artery and wanted me to keep it up on a pillow until it was better. My right arm had blood going in it along with an IV. I had oxygen on. I also had 2 tubes coming out my side, and I had a catheter in.

I was only 25 at the time and away from home with my wonderful husband, who was in the Air Force at the time. I got pregnant in July of 1968 and we were so happy. The baby would be due in April, a nice cool month. Both my girls were born in August and I had to go through the hot summer being pregnant.
