Happy Thursday! Enjoying the last sleep late day of the summer. Will and I enjoyed a leisurely breakfast before getting our day started. Owen is at his last day of BFS for the summer. He is growing bigger, faster, and stronger as we speak.
Sam called this morning, and she will soon be a grandmother once again...little Jackson will be here any minute. Lori will manage The Bus Station, and the boys & I will help...a little. We have a lot going on at TBS. It is turned upside down...get ready for a new store! We have a great time at the shop.
I have had a great summer with the boys! It has been a lazy time, which every kid deserves. After a trip to Colquitt, we will head to Bainbridge, then a vist to Granny who will be 88 in a few weeks. She has so much to teach us...she is the best teacher in the world. Life lessons, you know.
Hard to believe my baby will be 10 next Saturday. Where does the time go? Seems like only yesterday he was sucking on a pacifier with back up pacifiers in every pocket...including his diaper! I love my baby boy!!!
Until later,
Janna

new blog name
Hello, everyone. I renamed my blog today for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, I wanted to protect my son's privacy. He may not like for everyone to know everything that I post. Right now he may not care, but the teen years are approaching fast, and if a girlfriend or buddy found out something about him through my posts, he would be devestated! Also, since I have had a diagnosis of adrenal fatigue, I feel it should be a part of the post. Both conditions affect our entire family from the foods we eat to vacations we take decided around food menus and doctor appointments. I chose "growingupincolquitt" because we own Grow Drug Co. in Colquitt, and we have all lived here our entire lives. We know a lot about growing up in Colquitt, believe you me!
I love the history of our area, and sit with my grandmother, Lucy Lane Hornsby, for hours at a time getting her stories. She is one incredible lady. My sister, Lissa, and I visited with her this afternoon. Granny will be 88 in August. She is awesome!
Before that visit, my sister and mother helped me "rearrange" The Bus Station. We moved furniture in, we moved furniture out. Our corner is having a yard sale next Sat, July 31. Come by and see our stuff. We are making room for all of our new things we found at market. I especially excited about the new purse line that my friend, Emily, and I are putting in together. It is called Spartina 449, and it is awesome!!!!! It will be here soon so come by.
After I got home, I cleaned off the carport. The boys helped of course because they are great!!!!!! Much more to do though.
Have a great evening,
Janna

Boys are back
Yeahhhh!!! The boys are back from camp. They went to Student Life church camp in Shocco Springs in Alabama. Anthony was a chaperone. They had a great time, but I am sure they are glad to be home with their queen.
After 2 days of hard shopping, being stuck in traffic for hours, a sleepless night, I had to get up and go to work. At least I got to go in later this morning. Thanks to my Grow Drug crew for making that possible. They are the greatest guys in all the world, and I appreciate them more than they will ever know.
Please pray for the Justice family tragedy as they all prepare to go on with their lives without their loved ones. God is the only one who knows why this tragedy happened, and it is to Him that we have to turn to.
Kendall at work has been diagnosed with Hoshimoto disease, a thyroid disease. We have started her on the thyroid capsules and hope she will be feeling better soon. I feel so much better since starting my adrenal complex and other supplements. I have changed my eating habits too and that has helped as well. Hope it continues!!!!!

July in Georgia
Gnats, gnats, gnats. I think God invented gnats to give us patience. But, that is the price we have to pay to live in south GA. Other parts of the country have bugs and critters of some sort. At least gnats are quiet. I was watching House Hunters International the other day, and this one are had a bug that was so loud. It was a resort area for relaxing, but who could relax with that noise?
I just got back from Atlanta. My business partners and I went to the Mart. It is tiring, tiring, tiring work, but also very rewarding. It did not start off too great because the hotel was short on rooms. We had reservations, but some adults destroyed some of the rooms. The first room they sent us to as a king had a miniature bed in it. It was somewhere between a twin and double. The second room was smoking. So they put us in their last room - right beside the lobby. And when I say right beside the lobby, I mean it. Well, when I went to check out and I asked for a receipt, the man said he couldn't print me one because the rooms were complimentary! WOW! Then my friend went to pay for her airport parking at the hotel, and that was complimentary also! The Lord was really looking out for us! And, for the first time ever at Mart, we had FREE parking for 2 days, so basically we had a free trip to Atl except for ALL the $$ we spent on merchandise.
We found some great things at mart. I cannot wait to get everything in.
Owen, Will, and Anthony are at church camp. They have had a great time. I miss them sooo much especially since I was with them last year. They will be home tomorrow with big eyes and bigger stories. I cannot wait to see them.
Owen is off his Vyvanse(ADHD med). My sister who tutors him thinks we can leave it off when school starts back! That is wonderful!! He is in such a great mood now. He hugs me all the time. I think it is th GABA and Taurine supplements he has been on. He takes many supplements and vitamins a day, but I had rather have that than Owen being so moody and unhappy all the time.
Guess what? Barry is back from vacation!! We had to let him go for awhile, but he came home on Friday, hopefully for awhile. Our new doctor, Julie Buckley, said he needs at least 300 hours; a far cry from the 36 hours we have logged. So, Owen will be seeing a lot more of Barry. He may even sleep in it some nights, which is pretty normal from what they tell us.
Well, I hope to be blogging more now that my laptop is fixed. Hope you continue to follow our journey.
God Bless,
Janna
