Lifes little slices - April 2007

we have 3 little puppies!!!!

April 30th 2007 17:30
lil'bit
"Lil'Bit!!!"
our Yorkie Lil'Bit just deliverd puppies. she had two girls and one boy. i'm 99% sure she's done. she's napping now and the pups are all healthy. my daughter Kaitlynn camped out in my room incase she delievered. i talk her through the delivery and Kaitlyn performs. shes our lil vet in the family.a,smiles> it use to be what she wanted to do when she grew up, either taht or a dr or a nurse, but changed her mind as she got older. i still tell her she sooo could be a great one.probably a nurse instead of vet., she is sooo good at taking care of everyone. even when we go see my mom at the hosptal who she never realy knew. almost as soon as we walk in the door, she freshens her water, and gives her many drinks while we're there, feeds her, puts peanut butter on her crackers and all.

well 3 little yorkie pups born the last day of April.

"The small things mean the most!!"

April 30th 2007 17:23
charlie
hubby with the kids on an aligator airboat ride!"
it's the small things in life that mean the most and make for a great marriage. not alot of husbands would be supportive if he walked in the door from worked and learned his wife and two of his children where leaving town on a last minute trip, leaving him, with everyday work, and now on top of taht 3 horses to feed, 1 pig, 8 chickens, 2 birds, 1 snake, and four dogs. he smiles, gets excited for us, runs to the ATM. fills up my tank, even packs soda for us. then to top all that off, when we call and are on our way home early. i tell him we're going to make it home in time to go to the drive inn. something that we had planned for friday night, before this trip came up. since it was an all girl trip, i realy wanted to get home to take my son. when hubby finds out, he gets busy after working all day, and had just worked two doubles. i didn't even know what he was up to until i walked in to the smell of burgers. he made hot dogs and burgers with all the fixen, had them made up and in zip zocks for the drive inn. he also had pop iced up in a cooler, covers ready and all the such and the best part is, he wasn't even going to be able to go with us. he's a very un selfish man and i adore him. we leave for two weeks on thursday and once again, he'll take care of the pets and do so sooo well that it'll look like us girls never left. we'll come home to happy, well taken care of pets and a clean home. now alot of times when a women goes away, the house isn't so nice when you come home. i sooo apreciate this little gesture from charlie. i wouldn't care though if i had to clean when i got home. no big deal but it's like icing on the cake when you don't.

horses,friends,& Drive Inns

April 30th 2007 05:11
horse show
one of my favorite shots."
Kaitlyn took this shot and i'm soo impresed with it. she wants to go to art school, and also take photography after high school. she's like her mummzy [this is a special name she calls me] and LOVES taking lots of pictures.
horse show

we got to this little spot early so we could see. there where people sitting on blankets everywhere. just before the show started, all kinds of people jammed in front of all the ground sitters, standing and blocking them. <smiles> the girls, being young, sqeezed in front for a great picture taking time.
horse show

This was a lsat minute invite. before the invite, we had already had plans to go to the drive inn. The Reaping was on, and we all wnated to see it badly. also the Hills Have Eyes 2 was on. This would be my last weekend home with all of my children. we leave for Myrtle Beach on thursday. Tow or three days after we get back, my two eldest, Krystina and Chris leave for seven weeks to their fathers 11 hours away. CjHris wasn't going to the horse show, "Kind of a girly thing" <smiles> but siad we should skip the driv inn and not pass this chance up. so we did. great though, we got back in time today to take him anyway.i'm sooo gald we did because the Reaping was soooo good. The hills was pretty good to. a little too much nudity in a couple places, i'd rather not have but my kids will all be 18 and 19. so their plenty old. it was just breifly anyhow.
horse show
it's 1:00 AM.i'm off to bed.Tammy

"feeling our ages!!!" <smiles>

April 28th 2007 21:42
we walked about seven miles today. and now both of us elders in the group are snapping and popping like a bowl of rice crispies. guess where the teenagers are??? working out. can you believe it!!!! lol the weather was beautiful. we both took great pics that we'll share on each of our blogs, when we get back, but after we both aprove them. <grins>
my girls and i leave tomarow mornng. we ave puppies due!!!!!!!!!! cannot wait for them. Kaity said sooo many times that she was having fun but it made her want to rush home and ide her horses. they've been training them for jumping. they are doing pretty good. Great childhoods they are having and that makes my heart smile. i think it's pretty cool that she'd rather be with her own horses. <soft smile> they had a blast though. we are more western, not english. we LOVE barrel racing, the rodeo and such. i'm glad we where invit or we would have always wondered if it was for us or nt. we're for sure western horse people. i oved the fair type stuff here though and it along with hanging with friends, the nigh at the hotel and such made the trip soooo worth it.
my back is killing mie. wish my jacuzi was here. i'm surprised they don't have one here. it would have been inside anyhow and i LOVE outdoor jacuzi's. well, unless it's an indoor tub type for two with LOTS of bubbles. <smiles>

i miss my Charlie!!!

April 28th 2007 02:20
This was an un expected trip. last minute invite so i didn't get to prepare emotionally for leaving him. he called when kaitlyn was outside with my phone and when sh old me he called i got all excited like on a second date. we've been together going on ten years and i still get butterflies. he is everything to me and the kids. not alot of stepdads or adopted dads like him. when we first dated, it was a blind date. after the thrd date he still didn't kiss me, he was such a gentlemen.
i miss him!!! ok, my friend is out of the tub now. gotta go!!!

"I'll be back on Sunday!!"

April 27th 2007 07:42
The horses

i'm leaving in the morning to meet Wendi and Stinkerbell to go with them to the Rolex Horse show. i'll be back on Sunday night. we've never been to a horse show. we have been invited before but have never realy been interested in going. BUT this time when we where invited we thought we'd go check it out and see if we like them. i KNOW we'd enjoy the rodio, barrel racing and jumping. This will have jumping but i don't thing barrel racing and i know not a rodeo. or atleast i think i know. <grins> it'll be something new. and i'm sure we'll have fun.
our gardens

"Well, Thats about it!!" i'll be back in a few days

The horses
Krystina on her horse Blazing Fire!"
when Krystina was younger we couldn't have horses because we lived in the city. to make up for it, she spent 3.5 years every single week in riding lessons. she also had a friend that had over 70 horses. so she had plentyof time around them. at about fifteen she was thrown off HARD from her friends horse and got a cuoncusion. she had had a few accidents before this, but this was the one that did it. "Giving her the fear of horses."
the horses
"Look at that smile!!!"
it brough tears tomy eyes watching her up there for the first time since she was fifteen. she'll be 19 May 12th. she has been on a few times, but only being led. not just riding. she was on a few minutes once while i was out of town but i didn't get to see her. i'm sooo happy for her. she was nervouse but rode around and was having alot of fun.

gardens

i stepped out into the sunshine.sitting looking at out the veiw, my statues in gradens we put in with our own hands with our kids. when i feel hurt, all i have to do is retreat into my own world. it's safe in here. no one using words to hurt and laughing about it. knowing they can bring others down. it only ever brings me down for a VERY short time. i think about life. i try to NEVER hurt others with my words. my life is beautiful. full of wonderful family, a great place to live full of peace, the best animals, a home we put our own swaet and tears in to make it ours. i think things come back three times fold.if you are good to people your life will be full of beauty. if you hurt people, and do so to get a kick, or bring them down, your life is what you'll pay with. you will ALWAYS have hard times. i wonder if its worth those few moments watching someone hurt!! i just don't think it would. Take a look at whats inside your life. if you see great things and not many hard times, chances are your a kind hearted sould and only want to help others, but if your world has been almost non stop hard times,pitfalls, and never seeming to get anywhere, Then stop and look within yourself. see if theres anything taht you need to change. are you intentionally hurting others!!
i love being in my little world and although i do travel alot, you still stay in your little world with family or friends. not talking to others.except maybe a Hello

"Fighting back the tears today!!!"

April 26th 2007 17:00
i woke up extremely nausous [whatever] today. sooo much so taht i litterly feel like i'm going to pass out. still no diognoses on what it is. i get these boughts strong and hard very often. i think i'm extremly sensative right now because once again i have failed to loose not one sigle pound. i chainged my eating and i execised daily. all my bloodwork came back good to no thyroid problems. i just don't understand. i want to do a gastric bypass to loose the weight because anything i try just isn't working but when doing recent research i learned of something called drop down, stomach drop or something to where your food goes down sooo fast at times that you get extreme nausia, and weakness. i already have been fighting extreme nausia for years now. i don't want bto make it worse but i have no choice. the world doesn't except me like this. they think i'm gross. about fifty pounds ago i vowed that if i hit a certain weight i'd kill myself then because the world just doesn't except. i'm now just twnty pounds from that goel. no i'm not going to kill myslef BUT i feel like i should hide from the world. just a couple days ago in line at a store i heard two woment chatting about someone being overwieght. a friend of theres and it just saddens me. people are sooo blunt. i jsut wanted to say "Hey, i'm fat!!" and go into detail on what i do and still can't loose. people just don't understand or care. why have people become sooo blunt and not care about others feelings. how can someone like me that struggles every single day about my weight not take that as a blow to me, and if i do get hurt because of it, then why then am i a bitch or toooo sensative???? i just don't understand this. can'tpeople just think about it a little bit and try and understand where over weight people are comming from!! i don't over eat, i baerly ever drink soda, i'm active every single day and my weight won't budge. now i have to turn to a surgery taht will make me sicker then i already am because the world just can't except taht we're all different and some of us come in bigger packages and that doesn't make us "LESS". because thats how i feel i'm seen. as LESS. not important but i wasn't living that way until i hear about people being over weight soooo much and how gross they are. i was just fine before then. yeah, i know i'm fat but i was staying that same fatness. why can't i be excepted the way i am and not feel that i have to go get my stomache cut the size of a pea becuase i'm less because i'm overweight. why can't i be seen as pretty flaw and alls. why can't people understand what I will feel like if they say things about people being fat, gross, slobs. why can't they just get together with all their skinny friends and talk about it away from our ears?? i have the best life and some times i think it's intentional to bring me down. to bring me to my knees. hurt with words because thats the only way and then giggle about it later, or even in front of me when the tears come. it's been building for awhile and now i feel like i just can't take one more comment about fat people. makes me want to run and barf after i eat because I HAVE NO RIGHT TO EAT. if i eat out in public i feel like all the skinny people are stairing at me like i have no RIGHT to eat. THis is a HUGE issue in mylife rihght now and will be until september, or well probably oct. since i'll be gone the whole month of september. i wish people could feel how hard i struggle and just can't loose. 1 in 200 die from gastric bypass. i am already hugely sensative to food, and practically everything. i know i shouldn't even be doing the surgery but i know i have no choice. it's either mess my self up or live in a world i'm not ever going to be excepted in.

Living with color!!!

April 25th 2007 18:26
"I think one reason i'm such a happy, possative person and not much can bring me down, is because i soround myself in color!" color ooz's
my bedroom
happiness.
my bedroom
"my master bedroom!"
i think just about Everyone can have their special retreat in their home. i see sooo many times that people don't think they can but pretty much everyone can. you just have to think about whats most important in your life. get in the mind set of saying everytime you do something like go out to eat. "i just ate my room."i just got a new pair of shoes instead of my room. i just went here or there instead of my room. if you get in the habit of doing this, anyone can have that special place in their own home or yard.
my bedroom

we have many rooms in our home, or spaces outside of our home and even my truck, are all retreats. filling places with color helps keep your mood up. i LOVE my world and try not to add anything toxic to it. if i do, it's because i'm trying to help fix something.

we planted plants for the church fundraiser and our non-profit in styrafoam cups because they make for a faster, cheaper sale. you don't have to add the cost of sometimes costly containers. The spagheti dinner is in three saterdays so they should be popping up by then

Charlie
"This is my husband Charlie and many foster children we have had!"

we've been together almost ten years and i'm more in love with him each day. he's such a wonderful husband and father. we've both gained some weight over the years. he's had some hair loss, but we still adore each other after all these years and chainges BUT i know tahts because of the way we treat each other. if he gained two hundred pounds i'd still find him sexy because of who he is and how he treats EVERYONE. wether in our family or outside our home. we've had about ten foster kids, pluss our three children.one adopted through foster care and two from my previose marriage. i've never realy looked for looks anyway. i look for whats on the inside. the way a person acts. i've met beautful people taht after getting to know them are ugly because of the way they treat other people and vice versa

i laid out, and played for about an hour or more then the baby oil all over me hit me. HMmmmm dads in bed. the kids are tanning. only one dog inside and tahts Tinkerbell. i tell the girls i'm going in to do a little business on he fundraising for our non-profit we just started. sneak in, slip out of my clothes, and slip into bed with dad. after he wakes up which happens fast, and with a smile, i show him the baby oil. Tinkerbells on the floor, heavens just starting to apear and she jumps up licking my foot.

"Get'R'Done"

April 22nd 2007 18:37
i am sooo not a churchy type person. i'm very spiritual in a Sylvia browne kind of way. i do believe in God but i also believe in sooo many other things. we went to church this morning. we had been out of town and so we didn't know there was an after church dinner. i left my money in the bathroom window, Kaity forgot my discover which is usualy in her purse. dad had just got off midnights so all his money was in his work pants. i whispered to him, "we can just eat anyway, no one will even know we didn't bring anything ebcause when you bring something in, you sneak it in the back way while everyone else is already in." nope, he won't do that, but walking out after church would be ruder. so theonly money he has is the offereing which is already sealed in the envalope. he just say's, "we'll put double in next week. he takes the envalope and slips off to shop and save durring the survice. <soft smile> gets back before its over and slips the fried chicken into the kitchen. "The day is saved!!!"
The preacher sits by us and talks about that he's FINALLY making it to his cabin for fishing. firts time since fall. he's super happy. he's been trying to go forever. our preacher looks like santa clause, beard and all. just a little skinny. we go to UCC which nis a non dominational church. after our lunch the preacher slips off to change clothes and comes out wearing a faded black T-Shirt that says a very popular Pennsylvania hick saying that Kaitlyn rolls her eyes at EVERYTIME she hears it. "Get"R"Done" funny seeing the preacher in such laid back clothes. BUT thats exactly what i love about my church, and living here in PA.
ok, i'm off to soak in the sun and get some more of a tan. not for long though. the sun ages ya BAD and i sooo still look young. i don't smoke and trya nd take great care of my skin. not relay any wrinkles yet even at 38.no grey hair yet either. <smiles> i don't smoke cigeretts and i know that helps. i recently went back to Illinois seeing some of my friends. they are all either two to three years younger then me, or my age and i was shocked at how much older and wrinkled they looked. They all smoke though. i know they where shocked at how fat i had gotten, BUT i can loose this, and thats what makes me sad about them. it's alot harder to turn back aging. i'm getting gastric bypass in oct probably. i'm due september but i'll be gone that whole month

Sedona Arizona

Sedona


My family and i recently went on a little over two week vacation out west. one of my favorite places in the world is Sedona Arizona. we spent a week hiking in beautful places. The picture contains one of the places we hiked. we hiked up hills, down hills on the side of cliffs all leading to vortexes. vortex's are wonderful places for letting go or asking for things you would like in your life. we mediated, enjoyed nature and took LOTS of pics. i also had mine, and my daughter Kaitlyns auras read. something we've always wanted to do but never donw. maybe i'll shareour pics from our aura readings and explain what they mean.it was for sure life chainging. i had things conformed that i knew, things conformed that i just dreamed would be true. it was truely amazing

Life contains many little slices

April 21st 2007 19:37
some good, some bad, but you always hope the good out-weigh the bad. For me, growing up was very tough.It took me until i was about 36 for it to hit me that forgiving my mom for my childhood wasn't even about her.it was alll about me. after doing that my life has chainged in HUGE ways. now i wish i could get EVERYONE thats holding something hurtful from their past in, to fogive and undertsand what freedom they'll find in their own heart, in their own world and find 'their'way of letting go.
i'm not a writer, i don't care to be a writer, it's just not my passion. i don't spell great and do not even care about that. it use to be my best subject but over the years something happened with my memory and no matter how much i study, i just can't hold it in my mind. "i move on!!!" there are sooo many things i'm realy great at, but these arent them.
my passion however is, to help others, to show how beautiful life can be. my family and i have wonderful traditions i'd love to share. we have learned to bounce back very fast from any bad sittuation. I truely live life to the fullest and you'll never realy find me in a bad mood or depressed. i eat alot of fruits and vegies. i drink lots of water. i'm still very overweight but i'm one of the healthiest most active people i know
