Lifes little slices - June 2007

Took some days of relaxation!!!

June 30th 2007 22:34
I just felt sooo tired. Yawning all day, a little pain and a mind that just couldn't hold anything. So i listened to my body and just rested. I feel wayyy better. It's six and i'm just starting to yawn again. atleast i made it alot longer. Occasionally when i go through bouts of whatever this is, i just get super tired. Once, i slepped for three days almost straight and for me, i NEVER take naps. NEVER have. I'd get up long enought to eat and then fall right back to sleep. i'm not at that point, but i'm tired. so i have been doing nothing but relaxing. i mean, we did go to home depot and get cross wood. we did go out to eat for chinies once, and Olive Garden the other. we did go to Joanns crafts and replaced all the paint, and glitter for crosses, because i had sent all my wood, and all my cross suplies home with my Maryland friend taht came last weekend. She already painted two crosses. she did change some of my color and design but i just sent her close ups of my crosses, and will soon, maybe even in the next couple days, drive down there and take her all the real crosses i have done. i just think it's important that we keep all the designs the same. i ordered 750 business cards today. i'm sooo excited about them. They have the American flag on them which is kind of my theme. i worte to a friend that writes poems to raise money for school uniforms and all taht such for some children she has adopted in another country. Gautamala or something like taht. I gave her all my info on what my crosses stand for and i'm hoping she can write me a poem for my site. Not sure if she will be able to do it because my donated crosses cover things from 9/11, flight 93, to cancer, MS, Katrina victims, fire victims, to car crashes, to domestic violence. Kaitlyn and i started a poem, but we havent gotten very far. even if it did turn out good, i'd never know it since it's my own.


Hubby and i went yard saling this morning. Kaitlyn had to work. so it was just us. we're BBQ'ing right now. it smells sooo good and i can't wait until it's done.
The first puppy went home day before yesterday. the others get their shot on tuesday. Tinkerbell goes to the groomer tuesday to get her hair all trimmed up. I can't wait to see her. If i go to Maryland, i may take her. Not sure what we're doing yet. Denise was sending text to my phone while Kaitlyn was at work. Her phone was dead so she had to take mine instead, so she could call for a ride home after work. I got a HUGE shock when i got Krystinas sell phone bill. It was $240 dolars over. A few bills back it was like $80 or $130 over. can't remimber but it was pretty high. The total bill was well over three hundred, just for her phone. I havent talked to her about it yet.
ok, i'm off here. I've just been mostly resting, until i get un tired. <smiles> i'll keep doing that until my body says it's ok to get back to orbling and such.

"22 hours, for a 10 minute visit!!"

June 28th 2007 14:43
11 hours up, only two days to stay because 1. we have ALOT of animals and hubby was already set up for a double starting last night, so animals, especialy 7 puppies, neededme, 2.i had to get weighed by july 1st or the whole thing would be off for good with the weight loss surgery.
over six hundred dollars for this trip and i only got 10 minutes with my mom!!! It was the worst timing ever, to go. As soon as i did the 11 hours to The ST.Louis area to see her, she was switched and in route to Barns Jewish Hospital in ST.Louis, where maybe she'd FINALLY get the care she needed. So the first night, i couldn't see her at all. Instead i picked up my other two kids that had been there since the end of may visiting their father. We ordered pizza, swam, and hung out. The next morning we got dressed and headed to ST.Louis to see my mom. got on gloves and gown since she has blood poisening AGAIN. Got in to see her and they show up to take her for CT scans. I help her drink down her liquid that has to be drank, tell her we'll go to the cafateria for some lunch and come back. 3.5 hours later, they still don't have her back, so i go to the gift shop, buy her a 24 carot gold, glass blown healing angel. pay for it, walk out the door to the hosptal hall, and when Kaitlyn tries to hand it to me i'm shaking, and drop it while i'm walkiing, and then kick the poor thing breaking her wing off. She is still holding the ssign that says "Good luck with your surgery". <grins> They do exchange it though. Go up to see if she is back and they say it'll still be a few more hours.
ok, i'll have to finish this. Time to get weighed. I'll be back. Tammy

Heading to Illinois, moms not well!

June 24th 2007 23:50
My moms back in the hospital. She was going in to get her foot and maybe some of her leg removed. They are blackened from diabetes, but now they can't do it. She won't survive the surgery. She has a pelvic infection too, amongst other comlications. My kids went and saw her this morning. She isn't well at all. She is sixty.
I'm leaving in a few minutes. She is in ICU and youhave to gown, mask and glove before going in. It crushes me each time i see her. Wondering if i'll ever see her again or not. I LOVE her sooo much. She was bald last time i went. It's hard seeing her this way. I feel a strong urge that i must go and tell her it's ok to pass. I don't want to let her go, but i can't be selfish when she hasn't been able to walk since november. Her life isn't realy a life at all in the nursing home. But how do you say to your MOM it's ok to dye??? How do you do that?? The word DEATH, to someone that has to know she's about to dye, about to not breath air, or see and feel rain, someone that doesn't know possativly that there is life after death? i know these things, i've had experiences, but my mom is from the old ways and doesn't know. She also did some things that she never was able to forgive herself for. Not sure where she will go.
ok, i realy gotta hit the road if i'm going to leave tonight at all. I'm the only driver and it's an 11hr drive. I'm going to stop in Ohio or Indiana i'm hoping, to make it that far. i'm a little tired already though, so maybe even laying down for a nap first, may be in order. I just have a strong sense that tells me to get down there.

"A Hen goes for a ride!!" Night 1

June 23rd 2007 05:07
On my first night, which i think was yesterday but i realy feel like it was a month ago. It's weird, i just feel like they have always been here in mylife.It's such a beautiful feeling.
I left with Kaitlyn at dark to meet my visitors at McDonalds to show them to our home. We stood in the parking lot chatting for about ten minutes, Then head to my home. We drive down the sometimes busy two lane highway right in front of my road. i pass the creek, go over the railroad tracks, [or is that the other way around? <shrugs> i'm tired<smiles>, head up the hill, turn on my blinker, get ready to turn and theres on of my chickens in the road. She was kind of cowered down.My heart sank, i stopped, my visitors stop and i put my arm out stopping traffic while Kaitlyn runs to retrieve her. She is fine. just scared. It's the last one we have left. I'm thinking how the hell did she get all the way down there. Our road is over a mile long and curves alot. Later taht night Charlie calls and tells me exactly how it happened and i was like OMG i forgot!!! Just the night before she had taken up her nightly perch on my back bumper. <smiles> We learned this when we found all the Hen POOP all over it when we went out for chinies. Maybe taht was yesterday to. I think it was. My days are all running together, but i a realy great way. So, apparently what happened was, when i went out last night, jumped in my truck, it was already dark, so she must have been on my bumper. She made it all the way down my street, fell off when i turned onto the small two lane highway, and stayed there in that off and on traffic road for more then fifteen minutes until we came back. I'm sooo thankful. But you know the funny thing... as soon as we got back, with our guest, she jumped right back up on my bumper!! Now i have to get in the habbit of checking for her.
So something happened that i didn't expect. I LOVE my firends mom as much as i love her. She is sooo fun. at 55, she is just sooo much fun. she rode four wheelers and even got back on after flipping on one. My friend flipped, and flew over the handle bars, Kaitlyn and Ally flipped. The only two of the bunch taht didn't flip was me and Tabitha. There just little 90's and we where in a HUGE open field, so it was just little flips. The kind you get up, laugh and shake it off

"I had the "Best" night!!!"

June 22nd 2007 06:17
Not just I and Denise hit it off but her mom and i hit it off too. I am having the best time. we talked and talked and talked. The girls even just stayed talking with us almost the whole time. Then they went off playing pin ball. We're all settling into bed now.
I'm just happy it went the way it did, and i figured it would but you never know about these things. We are soo much alike. All of us are.
night, Tammy

OMG Theire down the street!!!

June 22nd 2007 02:33
I just got sooooo nervouse. I do not always do well meeting people for the first time. It just feels like sooo much rides on my shoulders. Will they be like, "What the heck are we doing here?" Will they have fun! willl they tell me if they want something? I've never met anyone on my terratory first before. I feel like i'm going to throw up. lolweight wont be an issue cause we where almost the exact same size. I've already shown her plenty of pics of me, so she knows what to expect. I know she is sooo much like me, because everytime i got a call today to tell me where they where, it was her mom. LOL Thats sooo how i am. Even if i've been friends with someone ten years, i can't pick up a phone and call them very easy at all. What do we do when they get here, tonight. Normally we'd go fish, ride the four wheelers or something. It's almost 11:00 pm. i know i'll first show them to their room. The aro beds all blown up and made. They are bringing their pregnant bunny. Thats something we can talk about. We could get in the hot tub, or is it still raining out? i think it stopped.
we used a little too much pine sol and my chest feels heavy. I am wayyy sensative to stuff so i hope i don't have a panic attack. i'm meeting them down the street. so i'll get some fresh air atleast.
we have movies and it's alot like a theater watching them with the soround sound and big screen. we also have a kareoki machine. we could play with the dowsing rods

"My Friend will be here @ about 9:00!"

June 21st 2007 20:55
I am sooo excited i could just scream!!! we have been wanting to meet FOREVER and i just think we're sooo much alike. She seems like she lives life everyday like me. She's goofy, tries her best not to let her words hurt others and gives ALOT of thought into that, She likes haunting stuff like me, fishing, crafts and wants to open a store one day, she homeschools, she goes to church and doesn't cuss, which is something i so have been working on not doing. "i'm doing pretty good at it too!" i've been chainging ever since i moved here. i've just got to keep staying near possative people because i do notice chainges in myself when i don't. I've got to know when it's time to say enough with trying to help others because when i don't, i notice myself molding to some of those ways. Life is about you and your family. I cannot help everyone ofr fix everything. <soft smile> Wish i could but i won't sacrafice my families, or my happiness.
I hope i have read her right. you just never know until you meet face to face. It could be a complete disaster. I think i'm more concerned about her mom then her. He mom only came because we where all going to a two or three bedroom timeshare in DC, but as we had it all planned with my friend, her daughter 14 [Kaitlyns pen pal], my friends mom which seems sooo fun. i've seen ALOT of their family pics on Tagged and they look like a crazy fun family like us! They are also bringing Tabithas best friend Ally 15. I offered for her to come, because her and Tabitha are always together. Tabitha is kind of shy. I thought it would make her feel at ease.
I think it will be fun!! I think we'll be having MANY get togethers after this

"Bridge To Tarabithia!!"

June 20th 2007 04:35
We just finished watching that and OMG it was beautiful, super shockingly sad adn then aboslutely beautiful again. I was just jaw dropped shocked in a certain spot. so was Kaitly. You felt like you knew the characters and where running right along beside them and then BAM shocker time. The ending made it beautiful again though and for that i am thankful!
I'm saving this one for Densise's family for friday night after our bonfire with hot dogs and smores. It'll be a beautiful ending to a great night.
I just knew she would show up in tarabithia!!! <pouts> "Thats just wrong!!" there needs to be a number two. I am demanding it. <smiles>

"Wouldn't ya know it starts to rain!!"

June 19th 2007 21:58
I wanted to stain the deck earler, bought the time i get out there, it starts to rain. I come in here, get online, IM for like two hours, everyone leaves, so i log out and it's sunny out. Well, it got sunny before the last person left. I get off, get out there, open and stur the redisg brown stain, get comfortably seated on the ground, put stain on three long boards, and in comes the darker clouds, adn thinder roaring in the horizen. The breeze was perfect. Ahh well,s hut the stain,w ash the brush and i'm off to paint on the mural again. <smiles> It's only six, maybe it'll blow over. suppose to be clear on thursday and they won't be here until LATE.

Waiting on her Mural to dry!!

June 19th 2007 01:01
Simple Plan is playing in the CD player. I just painted some of her portal and i'm wiating for that to dry. She drew a HUGE saturn on her wall which i wills tart painting soon. We have black light paint to add." She is going to draw a pegasus and faerie going into the portal. I have pink, blue and purple clouds on her wall. Theres a lighthouse ready to paint in mystical colors. A huge moon with a face. Theres a waterfall with rocks and a faerie from awhile back. Sooo much on this wall to do. It's a nice break from plain old bathroom wall painting. <smiles>
So far i'm still on the antique white. But when i get to the ocean/turqiose'ish blue, Then it'll be fun. I NEED to paint in color. So, if anyone would like to step up, do the boring white, i'd be sooo happy. <smiles>
Ohh and the greatest thing is, "I'm not missing any of my shows!!" The new PVR is recording them all. YEAHHHH!!! So tonight i will watch Wife Swap and "Little People big World

"Still knocking the list down!!"

June 18th 2007 17:04
Last night we got almost one whole coat of anitique white on the bathroom wall. I figured i should use the cheap paint to cover the mauve up before putting on the realy expensive paintso maybe one coat will cover. OMG that will teach me not to just give the dude at the paint store my palet of color and walk away. lol Atleast it should hold up longer and probably was better for a bathroom anyhow. Almost thirty bucks a gallon. Gesh!!! Better just need one. But, the great thing, i almost re-did a whole bathroom, not new sink and the such, but everything else for under two hundred or right close. "Not bad!!!" It's going to be sooo pretty.
I sspent about four hours last night re-doing pretty much my whole crosses4acause site. I just hadn't put "me" into it. It's now sooo me and i love it!! I also got the soldier cross up, the twin towers and flight 93, i have a fire victims cross i'm doing now taht still needs made and a katrina victims. i still need a down in the line of duty for police and firemen. i thought of a new cross too. One for all these shooting sprees in school and at work and such. I'm going to cover all the national disaters.
Right now though, my site is more ready for launch. Instead of a cross as the logo in the corner i have a globe of our wolrd, and instead of the light blues, i have a bold, darker blue. I just think it's perfect. I made my waiting list longer since after my first request i realized it needs more info. It was hard cramming my questions on one line, but i did it, Then i launcehd. Then i realized i can make taht "multi" line, so my questions will look better and be sentences, so i need to go back and do alll that over again. But i figured "Not tonight!" <smiles> That was yesterday. We'll see, maybe i can do it tonight

"Nino's for Sunday Brunch Cont....

June 17th 2007 22:28
here are the last four pictures of our fathers day celebration.
Nino's Resturant
The dinning room we had brunch in!" They set out fresh juices, v8, 5 star deserts, sliced fruit amongs a whole buffet set up wedding style. It's casual to fancy dress. It was pretty full when we got there but because we had a later brunch time, the room had cleared by time we where done. Perfect for pictures.

Nino's for Sunday brunch with dad!!

June 17th 2007 22:14
Today for fathers day we celebrated with Sunday brunch after church. We went to Nino's which is the favorite place to go around here. 1:30 reservations meant time to stop off and pick out paint for the new bathroom and stain for the hot tub deck.
This is a favorite place because of the stain glass, antique cashregsiter and decor. There food is excellent too. Here's some pictures of our day. None holding any of us because one of us in ever picture looked stupid.

"An Enchanted Bathroom!!!"

June 16th 2007 23:27
I have been holding out for what felt like forever, for the perfect Faerie bathroom set. All i've ever seen is dark sets, or non complete sets but today i found it!! I was walking back in a store i had just visited, running to get some chamomile plug inns when a feary down one of the iles i was pretty much running by, yelled out at me. "Thats just how it happened to." <smiles> "hey over hear, look at me!!" I had passed the isle, stopped dead in my track and slowly backed up, and there she was. Hands held out. I almost cried. Bath mat, shower curtain, bar soap holder, liquide soap holder and "Moon!!!" Toothbrush holder.
I LOVE the colors!!! now i'll probably need to paint my whole bathroom, but waiting to see when i put it all inside. The color may go perfect. So it's all going in my main bathroom. The bathroom for company. I should check the bedding area. They may have a bedroom set to match it.
Faeries
Heres the shower curtain, Bath mat, and little what nots.
99% sure i'll have to paint. They also have a toilet seat cover, trash can, toilet cleaner, Towles and such but i have to go back tomarow and get them

"I Tried Shark today!!"

June 16th 2007 18:27
I woke again to the smell of something cooking. On todays menu was "Shark with onions and tomatoes. I kind of curled my nose to it. Not sure how excited i was about trying it but sooo apreciative of the fact that although hubby still has a cast like thing on his arm, and will be working in a super HOT steel mill for 8-12 hours, he'd still get up and start a specila lunch that is once again "Diet" Friendly. <smiles>
My first bit, Yum!!! iI even came in her eto write and had to run back for more. But the yum soon went to "HMmmm,i don't know if i like it!" Maybe it's because my first bite was just shark and the rest where shark, tomatoe and onion. it just has a weird after taste that kind of sticks with you. "Jury's still out on this one!" Wonder what Kaitlyn will think when she gets home from work today. Thinking wether i should just tell her it's fish at first. i mean it is fish!!" <smirks> She's tried aligater, Frogs and snake. so she would probably try it anyway. Me, i just tried frog and i didn't think it tasted like chicken at all. yuk. mMaybe i tried a bite of turtle soup too but not too sure.
So yesterday i Stained the whole pool deck all by myself with a roler. I'm sooo happy i got it done.I have a ton on my list again today but i'm waiting until Kaitlyn gets off at four. Just would be funner with help. we could atleast have a paint fight or something. She's off tomarow for fathers day. Today may have been her last day anyhow

"My day so far!"

June 15th 2007 23:03
I got a little done on my list of "Want to get done." I made up a bucket of hot amonia water, scrubbed the cover to the hot tub.Looks a "LITTLE" better but not as good as i had wished. Thanks to the raw egg fight me and my children had last summer. It was alot of fun, but wasn't as fun once i saw that it ate the cover to the hot tub and paint off the house. <smiles> Good thing my husband is a kid at heart like i am or i may have been in a little trouble. <smirks> When he came home and saw, he asked what happened. Shook his head and laughed. <winks> It's not soo bad now, just a little faded in the spots where the yoke had hit. The rest of the lid just doesn't seem to come as clean anymore from being five or so years old. Still, it does look better.
Next i got on my hands and knees with a toothbrush and started scrubbing the line of algea that had worked its way onto the bottem of the hot tub frame and deck just around the edges. That came off pretty well and after some rinses of fresh water, doesn't look too bad. I still have to scrub the entire rest of this deck but i think i may get the rest of taht done tonight or tomarow. Kaitlyn only works until four tomarow so i may wait to do it with her.It would probably be more fun.
I have the stareo on. I ate some left over from what hubby had cooked for lunch. I would have drank a slim fast but my work had zapped my energy and i was running on empty

"To do or Not to do?"

June 15th 2007 18:25
"Thats the big question of the day!" I did pretty much nothing all day yesterday.I'm hoping thats not whats in store for today. <smiles> i will soon be home alone until around midnight. Except ofcourse my fur kids. I dragged out some ceder deck stain, some redish burgundy stain, brushes, a toothbrush and bowl for scrubing the lower part of the hot tub thats covered in green from winter. "I have faith i'll for sure get that done because it's such a small amount. I took pics of both decks for before pics incase i actualy accomplish anything today. <grins> i need to first scrub or mop it all, cleaning off the winter/spring yuck. I swear i have to re-stain all these decks every single year. whats up with that. maybe i have to treat them before or after. <shrugs> i like doing them though. Gives me something to do. I'd like to get the front of the trailer painted before Krystina comes home. It's her place and the outside is pretty ugly. I did get some painted last year but it takes sooo many coats to get it to cover.
Kaitlyn organized some of the cabinets. Taking everything out, putting soup all on one shelf, cake mixes on one, spices and so on. Labeling each shelf. It looks pretty good.
I want to get some crosses taht i'm selling for crosses4acause up on e-bay, BUT first i have to finish them all. <grins> i've got Daughter done and i LOVE it. "It has horses on it!" iI think i do a son and mom and such with that same design too. I have "Mothera" almost done. Even if i just painted those most of the day i would be happy that i atleast accomplished something. <grins>

"I'm freezing tonight!"

June 15th 2007 00:54
Just sitting here contemplating what i should do about it! Silly i know, but i'm being totally lazy today. I realy havent done a damn thing all day. Got up and down from the computer. Ate a little pasta, Drank a french vanilla capachino, i'm drinking a vanila slim fast right now. iI did the gazel through half of one whole music video. <laughs> "i'm a lazy mess." I'd get in the hot tub to warm up but it's not dark yet and it's just not worth the effort, messing with wet clothes that freeze the hell out of your boobs on the way off making you practically scream on the way up over your face. If i'm going to go through all that torture i'd better atleast get to see stars and the dark sky for doing it. Maybe i could try putting in those hand warmers or something.lol
"i'd run the jacuzi tub. It's an old, small thing but still lovely." Add some lavender bath salt, kick back and read something New Age. Maybe palmstry or such. I've wanted to write a story on the haunted Lemp Mansion forever but keep putting it off. I have some Lovely black and white photoes somewhere of it to share, but i'm not sure if they are on a disk or as pictures. i do have colored pics on a disk. I got lazy taking them all off the computer and had Chris take over doing the job. Telling him not to worry about writing on any of them. That i'd do it later. Well, nows later and i still havent done it.
I did walk out and talk to the faehier about riding lessons for Kaitlyn. He'd taught her a couple years back. Then she tried a few others but nevcer stuck with it long because she liked doing it here with him best. He's the only one that will come to our home and use our own horses. We don't have a starting date totaly set, but sounds like he can start anytime

"Bye Bye, Blazing Fire!!"

June 14th 2007 22:17
horses
Blazing fire in background, Apache Dreams in front.

Blaze has been riding wonderful for my two daughter and her friends, but some of his ground manners just werent exactly where i want them. so about a week ago we set up for him to be picked up and be broke. The trainer was in an autamibile accident the night before the pic up. So things we're put off but now we're back on track. Next friday june 22nd he will come pick Blaze up. The checks already been written and handed over. He will keep Blaze for one whole month and we wont be able to even visit him. We're excited about this because we do occasionally get riders that arent experienced. Now anyone will be able to ride him. He may even do some jumping training with him. Next he'll take one of the other two horses, and then so on. We hadn't planned on getting them all broke but Charlie was left a little something from a relatives passing and we figured what better way to use it. <soft smile> Not sure which horse will go next. <shrugs>

A Night out under the moon!

June 14th 2007 04:28
Pennsylvania nights

Kaitlyn and i sat on the front porch tonight enjoying the patio lights we just added. The feeling they give off is just amazing. i like sitting outside under low light. especialy colorful low light. I went to get some more of these lights but they didn't have anymore but instead i found some cute dragon fly ones. Worked out better that way. Dragonflies are one of my favs. i don't have the gragonflies up yet, but tomarow i will get them up. with company comming, icouldn't have picked a better time to get them. i have tiki lights for outback on that deck, and little lights for out front on this one. each part of the yard gives a differnet feeling.
Pennsylvania nights
The lights all lit and pretty.
it's the little things that make life wonderful. nights outside watching stars under low light. a perfect, almost free night.

"Tonights Pennsylvania Sunset!"

June 14th 2007 02:59
Tonight the puppies went to the vet to get their shots and worming. They are all very healthy. OMG you should see them attack their food bowl! i've never had a set of puppies want to eat like them. usualy they whimper wanting moms milk. not wanting broke. I'm so glad they are like they are because it makes me sad to take them off mom. <softsmile>
Pennsylvania Sunset
"This pic was taken from the truck, comming over the hill!" would have turned out better if i could have gotten out, but it was a curvy, hilly road with no pull offs. it's still pretty.
Pennsylvania Sunset
Another on the same road. i LOVE our ride to the vet. It's just a beautiful drive. i also LOVE our vet. He is just the nicest guy and even has an old man as the door man. just country charm!

"Night Terrors!!"

June 12th 2007 17:06
"What a night last night was!!!" i havent had night terrors in a realy long time but i sure had them last night. now i feel groggy and ill. i just got up about a half an hour ago so i'm hoping it passes soon.
I never saw anyone in my dream. instead i saw one of those old, metel trays with wheels and two sehlves that you'd see in hospitals wayyyy back. The hospitals they'd do weird, painful expeirments on. "CREEPY!!!" it was being wheeld toward me. it was covered in stuff on the top shelf. weird stuff. i cannot remember what was on it but it was just stuff that was out of place. The thing on the edge toward me had a realy long pointy thing sticking right at me. As it got closer, i jumped sitting up and screamed, but first i leaned up on my arm and focused my eyes better to see if it was still there.It was. usualy they disapear when i focus. after screaming and sitting up, it did finaly disapear. I fell back asleep and then it happened again at some time, not sure what the time was. but this time i jumped totally out of bed screaming and trying to kick it away. The background didn't seem like it was my room, but almost like a dark cave like place. i was sooo scared i got on a long sleeve, longer night gown. If i was going to die, i wasn't dying barely dressed. it's weird how your mind thinks when you've just been scared half to death "Twice!" Lol when Kaity came in my room this morning i said to her, "I had BAD night terrors last night!" she said "I know, i saw what you where wearing and said to myself, ahhh mom must have had a bad night." i've had night terrors since i was about 18. They are different in each home we've lived in. sometimes i know i pick up stuff from a REALY long time ago from the land. When i lived in Illinois in the progects i had a dream about a viatnameise looking boy. he was standing over my bed wearing a rain coat, rain cap with the front bill flipped up and holding the biggest knife i had ever seen. he just stood there looking frozen. when i told my sister in law about the dream she freaked. That land had been a concentration camp durring a war. he was probably just trying to protect his family. Thats all i remember from what she told me. That was twenty years ago. The only thing i know about this house is it use to be a HUGE pig farm. probably maybe even where they would slaughter some [SHhhh, Don't tell Petunia!" <smiles>] "Nope, sorry, wrong house. our Troy home was the one taht use to be a pig farm. when we'd have yardsales this man about in his eighties use to pull up a chair and tell us staories for a good hour or two, and then just get up and walk away. we wouldn't see him until the next years yardsale. i don't know any info about this house. other then that the old owner didn't like hunters so when deer season came he'd play realy loude music with gunshots, into the woods, so all the sorounding woods that people where hunting couldn't get anything. The sherrif when we got our permit to sell amber alert watches told us that. he haited the Bells that use to live here. i LIKE them and think it was a fabulouse idea.
ok, Thats it for this'n

"I have Guest comming!!!!"

June 12th 2007 03:17

"I am sooo excited!!!"
"I just found out tonight that a realy long time computer friend is comming with her family next weekend!!" My family and i are sooo excited about it. we've all been wanting to meet for probably a couple years now. She homeschools her daughter like i do. My daughter and her daughter are pen pals. So the girls are just as excited to meet as us adults are. we're going to do sooo much stuff around our home and Pennsylvania. Go see Pittsburgh maybe at night. Not sure if we'll make it to pitt because there is so much fun things we can do. we're going to for sure go to Ohiopyle State Park. BBG, have a bonfire, swim in our pool, get in our jacuzi, play cards out on the deck in the tiki lights, we'll fish from our fishing dock. i'm getting a couple extra poles so everyone will pretty much have one. we may go to the crash site of flight 93. we just have two days so i know we won't fit everything in but we'll get in as much as we can. we'll ride horses, ride the four wheeler, sit and chat learning about each other. you know what one of the coolest things is?? we where planning a trip to DC to stay in a timeshare together if they werent booked, and if they where we where going to go to Lancaster and get ajoinging rooms, going to a waterpark and ride park, but whenever i told her, "and sometime you have to come here, and i started naming off all the stuff we could do." she said "That sounds like more fun lol" i said "well, i don't care what we do!" and she said "Realy?" and that was it. we're doing our house instead. and she has done timeshares before so she knows what they are like. it makes me feel soo good that she chose comming here to my home instead!! we do have a beautiful life and that isn't even about having things. i have been pretty poor and owned hardly nothing and still EVERYONE always loved comming to our home. we LIVE life to the fullest every single day. we have fun! we just always have and always will. i can have a blast with just some music and a deck of cards. A pool, horses and hot tub are ofcourse nice additions, but they are not needed. We just happen to have these things too. "I am just as excited, wait, no, i am MORE excited then i was when we where going to the timeshare!" <soft smile> i can always save those points for any other time of the year. i'm also staying at one in N.Carolina for a week the end of june, and four different ones a week each in sept. so i'll have plenty of timeshare time. These points will be great to save for nov or dec. we like to go to Williamsburg at christmas. or maybe Atlantic city to swim in the indoor pool, just to get a break from winter. i'm going to Lancaster with the youth group at church for christmas. we're taking a coach bus

"Apocalypto"

June 10th 2007 19:55
we watched this movie last night. That was such a great movie. i already want to see it again. it was sooo sad and not at all what i had thought it would be like. i thought Mel Gibson was in it. i kept waiting for him to come. i know i'm a dork! i feel better except the pain. just writing this out of your head is sooo healing. i also am a fast bouncer backer. <soft smile> when i'm down, i'm never down long. not saying my darkness is over, just saying for now, i feel better. i'm just tired from not much sleep and the pain makes you irritable.
still havent attempted a nap because with the crawiling in my legs, especialy feet and ankles, and the pain, it won't come easily.

"Please give my beauty back!!!" Too Real

June 10th 2007 19:22
Ohiopyle State Park
Ohiopyle State park,in PA"

i finnally got alittel sleep last nigh. about three house to be exact. after i got off here, ilaid on the couch,legs propped up with pillows. Kaitlyn messaged them. while she messaeged, the pain was lifted, but when she'd stop, it would start right up. shriley she couldn't massage all night, because we had chruch today, and she has to be at work at six PM. she's brilliant and came up with a GREAT idea. she has this hand waxing thing. you dip your hand in heated wax, leave it on a bit, then peel it off. it comes with these two big, messager gloves that go on hands or feet. she put them on my feet and plugged them in. it was sooo great at first. i just couldn't fall asleep. so i left them on about fifteen minutes, just to get some reliefe long enough to "stop loosingmy mind." Then i knew i HAD to atleast get alittle sleep. sometimes when i work out on the gizel it helps long enough for me to doze of. it worked. now, here i sit and the pain, tingeling, almost burning is worse. i'm loosing mymind because of it. it's moved to my shoulders, hands, wrist. i'll get through it. i always do. a few tears, some frustration. i just wnat to slam them agaisnt a wall. atleast then theres a reason for the pain. i am soooo sleepy. i wish it would stop long enough to get a nap for a little bit

Wanna sleep but legs wont let me!!

June 10th 2007 07:18
i am in sooo much pain over every bit of my legs not just pain but this weird tingling numbness that seems to move, and get hot as it moves. almost like someones dumping hot coffee in them. i laid down at about 1:30 hoping to fall asleep early for church, but after laying there in misery fro about an hour, i finally got up. i have taken tylonal arthritis but it won't help i know. i'm sooo exhausted taht i'm almost asleep on this keyborad, but then the shooting, tingle and warmness flair up stronger. This sucks big time!! what the hell is it? i've been nautouse again ALOT, and aches all bouncing around my body. not strong enough to bring tears yet, but the legs are sooo right at the edge. "I just want to go to bed!!" Is that too much to ask. sleep, no pain, no tingles. i feel like mylegs don't belong to me. The tingeling is just too weird. i've never realy had this tingling. i've had the pain, the hot coffee, and numbness, but not this and nothing this strong. i wish just "!" more test would give me results. tell us what it is. i got sooo sick and tired of getting MRI's, ct scans, upper GI's, blood drawn, blood drawn again, and still again. finally i just stopped going.mymemory is sooo horrible. i was reading my journal earlier. one from 2003. it was a year before i moved here. i wrote about having my best friend Cindy over with her husband and her three kids. it was february and had gotten in the 60's. at just before dark, we all loaded into my van and headed to the park to see the animals. They had just a few, but the gate was already closed. instead we stood wathing the frozen pond. Ducks would fly in and when they landed on the ice, they would slide. it was sooo beautiful and i remimber them sliding sooo clearly. but i don't remimber anyone else being there with me. it's more like a dream now. i wrote on saying after the park we all went back to my house. it was almost my birthday. Cindy had brung me a birthday cake and cooked moscacholi. "I don't remimber one single thing about that day, but the ducks sliding." i can see them as clear as if they where sliding right now before me. i learned i need to start reading all my journals. what else have i forgotten? i've lost sooo much of my past/ i don't remimber when my dad, my grandma, my cousins or grandpa passed. The only reason i remimber when i got married is because we married in 2000. so it's whatever year it is. 7 years now. i don't remimber when my kids did alot of their first and thats something moms don't forget. maybe all those years i journald where because of this tahts here now. This thats getting worse. sometimes i feel like i'm loosing my mind. or i need adult supervision. altimers doesn't run in our family. it seems to get REALY bad when the pain comes. when the pain comes i have problems with the ringing in my ears getting alot stronger, and i get dizzy alot. i've got up, spun around like i normally would do, and feel flat on my face. i've fallen down stairs twice. i've been tripping in stores and what not alot, when nothing is there. The stabing pains in my kidneys are gone and have been for awhile. i just want to know what it is so i don't feel like i'm going crazy. and, i just want it to be nothing. atleast something taht can be fixed and i don't have to live with pain all the time. right now, the way it is, i can deal with it. it comes, then goes, then comes back. sometimes it starts and then just goes away before getting strong. then other times i'm doubled over, stomache killing me, body horribly shooting pains all over, bones, joints and all. sometimes it gets so bad, i want hand cuffs so i can cuff myself to something. because i REALY wnat to chop an arm or leg off. but i can't because if you chop one off, you still get pain from it even if it isn't there. Thats not fair!! i should be able to chop it off if i want, to be releived from the pain.
hubby took me to Red Lobster today and i was sooo dizzy the whole time we where there. and then dammit. i saved my steak for later tonight. came in and left the box in a bad spot and my stud Harley got it and ate the whole thing. <smiles> i only got two bites. he was jsut getting to the Biscuits and my crab alfredo. so atleast i saved some of it. <grins> i ate all my crab legs while out. it would have been funny, seeing him try and open them.
we got decals to put crosses4acause.org on my blazer. we got enough wood to make ten more crosses. i got turqiose tissue paper to go in with the cross when i ship it

i got my 1st cross request!!!

June 9th 2007 09:10
i could just scream with excitement!!! it's from Santa Fe New Mexico from our trip in March and April. we have something we call "Cross mail." it's a newsletter expaling what we want to do which is to donate crosses showing how people have lost their lives in autamobile accidents, like DUI, no seat belt, speeding and all the such.
crosses4acause.org

i think if people see these crosses, it will tell them how many people died from waering "No Seat Belt" and maybe they will buckle up, slow down, or hang up their cell phone.
i can't stop smiling!! i knew it would take awhile to get request. People don't go to these memorial sites all the time. Maybe just on special occasions

"Keep mymom in your thoughts please!"

June 9th 2007 04:23
i got news tonight that she's getting an amputation. i want to say, "it's JUST her toe!" That seems weird saying it like that. but i mean, it's not a whole leg. her toe has balckened. there hoping to gte it all, so it doesn't spread to the rest of her leg. She hasn't been able to walk since nov 1st. so i guess loosing a toe isn't too horrible. who knows though, maybe some day she could have wlaked again. not sure what toe it is anyhow and if it's even one taht matters as much. This sooo probably isn't sounding right.
we where in the beginings of watching "Happy Feet" when i got the call. imagine the coincadent, to be watching a show about "Feet" and get a call about an amputation on feet. <shrugs> ok, so they say bad things come in 3's. charlie getting kicked, Krystina getting attacked, and now my mom. Things should be looking back up. <takes a deep breath, and soflty smiles in relief>
ok, back to watch happy feet. oh and we watched Eragon. That was REALY good

"Charlies maybe getting out today!!!!"

June 7th 2007 16:39
he just called. i was actualy getting dressed to go see him, when the phone rang and he said for me to wait a little bit because they said he could probably go home in a little while. he'll call me so i can bring him clothes."I could just SCREAM!!!"
Lighthouse
"I took this picture, i think in Pompano Beach!!" can't for sure remimber. i LOVE lighthouses and have LOTS of pictures of them from all over the US.
it's such an exciting day. we broke Wildfire and Blazing fire for riding, and most ground work, but we had thought here an dthere about sending them off one at a time to be broke by a professional. well we came into a bit of extra money from charlies family, and decided to just start sending them each out. starting with Blaze. The baby. he's the one that can be a little stubborn at times. so he gets.picked up today. i'm proud taht we broke him for riding. and he even rides right straight from our house down the street, unlike Wildfire. she has to be walked up the hill first and then she'll ride. she can be stubborn with riding at times, but after you ride her a week, she does beautifully. she just won't ride anyone else. now Wildfire, we've had alot of teens this spring, come ride him and he does wonderful. The problems we have with him are, when it's time to take him in from grazing, now he doesn't want to go in anymore. checks already written, he gets his feet done today along with the other two, and then he'll be loaded into the trailer and be gone for, i have no idea how long. he's just about two miles down the street though and we can see him all the time. our breaker does barrel racing, and jumping shows and he has been begging to break Blazing Fire for like "Forever" Blazing Fire is our one horse that we get people begging us to sell him to them all the time. he's a three year old Gelding half qaurter/paint. he looks like he has fire in his color. he was one of our most gentle horses, but now he's getting onory. now Apache, we have people taht go crazy over him too, just not as much as Blaze. Apache Wind was my horse but since i'm scared to ride [heights] he's now Kaitlyns. he's a halflinger/qaurterhorse. he's breathtaking to me. i just LOVE his mane.

"You go girl!!!"

June 7th 2007 00:59
we have four wheelers taht havent worked for awhile. pretty dumb because they where brand new. one, i understand because it was wrecked, but this one here, it had only been ridden like twice. no one could get it to stay running. Kaitlyn fixed it and has been riding it for a few days now. i thought i'd share her fun time.
four wheeling
These are just 90's but trust me, they are plenty fast. already wrecked one from going a little too fast. i was afraid they'd be too small. but nope, they are perfect.
four wheeling
"She said she LOVES the rush she gets from riding!"
four wheeling
"Last one!!"
i even LOVE riding these. i have a LONG skirt on today though, so i'm not riding today. we hooked the screen up on our umbrella and patio furniture, set up the tki lights and are spending outr evening outside playing cards, listening to music. the high was 67 today so it's perfect out.
Have a great night. i know i am. i'm back to me.i have to not let other peoples choices affect me or change who i am. learn to close my ears to it all. i jsut care too deeply for people, wether i know them or not. "There are sooo many ways to do things and i try to always do so with honesty and caring for how other people feel

"our 1ST Bath!!"

June 7th 2007 00:27
and nope, we didn't like it either!! we where freezing even though the water was realy warm. mommy tried to blow dry us best she could without scare'ing us half to death. we didn't like that either." Now just look at my hair!!!" good thing i already found me a home, Thats what the pink ribbon stands for. with this hair, who'd want me!! lol maybe it's the new puppy style, i don't know. <shrugs>"I thought mow hawks where still in style. i'm just a puppy layen around in my pen most of the day waiten on my other mommy to bring me some of that oohh sooo good, warm milk that puts me straight to sleep. The news around the crib is, sooon we'll be getting teeth. "OUCH, that sounds like it'll hurt." wonder if it's worse then a bath!! i hear the foods gonna be mushy at first. what'a they take me for, a baby!! They think i'll choke on it.
puppies
"Don't i look cutre!!" i'm a little girl and the runt of the liter. guess what runt means?? it means i'm the tiniest little thing and that always means people pick us first. They think i'll stay the smallest and so far i have, but sometimes we surprise them and grow twice the size. i have a yorkie brother already at my new home. he came and saw me when i was picked. "Sniff's, i don't think he liked me, but my mommy said don't waorry, one day he'll ahve his paws all over me, and then i can snub him if i wnat, but even if i think i will, i probably won't be able to resist. <shrugs> "Don't know what she means, but maybe it has something to do with all those noises comming from mom and dads room at night. "Good grief, glad he's in the hospital, i'm getting good sleep now. lol
puppies
another of me. i'm a ham to the camara like my big sis Kaitlyn, mom says.
puppies
ok, thats it. excuse my momies writing. she was having a sad day and drank two screw drivers and she never realy drinks. she's haven a great day now. Bye, see ya when i get more hair.

sunset in FT.Lauderdale
sunset in FT.Lauderdale!!
i am having a REALY bad day today. i don't know why i am effected by negativity sooo deeply but i am and it can just ruin my whole day. my aura has been totally drained to the point taht i feel like i'm going to colaps in a heap on the floor. your in the operating room so i can't hear your voice on the phone, you can't hold me and tell me what i need to do. answers i already know. your sooo good at fixing me. i drove and drove and drove, listening to "Big Girls Don't Cry" like fifteen times. The mountains and breeze taht normally fix everything didn't help. "Why do i feel things that happen outside of my own body sooo strongly!" my body is stiff. i think i felt it comming yesterday. about halfway through the day my right side went numb. well, can't even say realy that it went numb because it hurts like hell. it's my ear, my neck, above my breast, my under arm and my whole right arm. my arm isn't much use. when i went shopping with Kaity for movies and junk food for movies, if i wanted to look right i have to trun my whole upper body. Charlies been gone awhile and i havent realy had anyone to talk to about how i feel because i know no one thats in love. anyone i know are either divorced, on their way or just not relay in love with who they are with. so no one i know knows how in complete i feel. it scares me to be this in love and falling apart with him away. if i'd had a warning it would be different maybe. if i was on a trip, it would maybe be differnet. if we are ever seperated by death, waht will happen to me. i can barely breath now. i don't drink but like once a year but i think i may have one tonight.
when he wakes up and is doing better he's going to call. i'm two miles from the hospital. i'll head there as soon as he calls, damn, see i cna't have a drink anyway. i'd probably hate it anyway

it's 6/6/07, not 6/6/06

June 6th 2007 08:31
It's my sons birthday, hubby gest surgery.my daughter called crying a little bit ago. she was attacked by someone she broke up with because of violence. she hadn't seen him in awhile. he called wanting a ride, but instead, he realy wanted to try and patch things up.. Thank God her friend was with her. i'm not sure what started it, probably her saying she wouldn't go back out with him. he started pulling her hair and slamming her around in her car. her friend grabbed a baseball bat that was in the back seat and shoved it in his eye. he then grabbed the baseball bat. Krystina says they would have both been dead, but luckily a cop was driving by hearing the screams. he threw dwon the bat and ran. They caught him. The grils have been at the police station for awhile, getting an order of protection. Krystina said "Mom, it's just a peice of paper!!" he became sooo obssesed with her. not wanting to be with her, but not wanting anyone to have her. leading her on, telling her he wanted along distance relationship, just so she'd not date anyone else. well, atleast now she finally won't go back with him. <crossing fingers> she's sooo scared though. she has five more weeks down there by him. i wish she'd just scome home, but she is 19 and all her family and friends are there. hopefully he'll be in jail awhile, but that never happens. she's afraid he'll go get all his buddies and show up at her dads. Chris is there. Krystina doesn't even stay there, so hopefully he won't end up there. she stays alot of different places. i'm going to see if she'll go stay at my brothers a twon or two away. "It's rough there!!!" 20 minutes from ST.Louis. it was sooo safe when i grew up there.
he needs to leave her alone and let her go. she's not like him. she's known him for 10 years now. grew up with him, but he moved to a rough area and apparently changed alot. he's in a gang now and all. since her dad left her stranded at the vet telling her he'd only pick her up, if she'd leave her ex there to get his own ride home. she did, and she promised him she'd stay away from him. he's sooo good at crying to her, saying he loves her sooo much and thats why he gets angry. he's afraid to live with out her. us, who have heard those lines know it all to well, for what it realy is, "Bull$%#" They NEVER change, but i guess sometimes they do. her dad use to be very violent to me. he was an alcaholic. i taught her to stay. i taught her all the lines she now uses. her dad taught her taht they do sometimes change. he stopped drinking like seven years ago and is no longer violent. she thinks T may do the same thing. he's differnet though, and he won't change. i pray she realy see's that now. he's going to kill her if she doesn't!! i'm sooo relived her friend was there and she was brave enough to fight him off my daughter. she said the car she's driving, "Chris's car, is covered in blood on the inside. she was crying sooo bad when she called. she goes to the court house in the morning for the restraining order or OP.
i'm off to try and sleep. it's 4:30 AM here. she is safe at her friends mom and dads and is going to bed now

"They left us behind. wayyy behind. i got sooo scared the cruise ship would leave us there on that island. remimber how RED my face turned and i started colapsing. you practically had to carry me. The only thing i think That saved me was the cold water i pretty much colapsed in.

"Some time at the Lake!"

June 6th 2007 01:27
while Kaitlyn and i where out for our drive, we stopped at this lake taht sits behind our house. We sat on the bench talking, watching the view. "It was a beautiful day. Not hot, just perfectly cool."
MT.Pleasant, PA
"A Beautiful Place to talk about nothing and everything!"
MT.Pleasant PA
"We've never fished here, but i'd like to someday." we have our own fishing dock on a deep creek. so, we just never get to this lake. It's nice to have our own spot.
Kaitlyn
"Kaitlyn, on our day out!"
MT.Pleasant, PA

That was our day! now we have popcorn, candy and Three DVD's we rented from the movie store and four new DVD's we bought. two of which we havent seen. so, it's movie night.

"Where we live!"

June 6th 2007 01:05
We live in a place where drives are filled with beauty. Windows down, rolling farms filled with horses and cows to say their hello's, foothill mountains speak to you with their breathtaking beauty. Daydreaming about life. Realizing just how wonderful it is to be alive. my daughter and i went on one of those drives today. put twenty in the tank and just drove. Not caring about what time it wasor what we'd make for dinner."Just feeling our skin kissed by wonderfully cool breezes. Talking about silly things.
MT.Pleasant PA
"Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania!" Just the name alone means beauty. There are four Mont Pleasants in PA. Two right next to each other, where we live. we live in the smaller, farmy one. The other is pretty too. It has a littel street of shops. we consider it our town too since they are attatched.
MT.Pleasant PA
"The veiw fromm the hill in front of our house!"
Mount Pleasant, PA
"This is our town." This is where we play, live, laugh and love life!"

"Watched Black X-Mas!"

June 5th 2007 19:17
This was one scary movie i didn't like. hated it almost the whole time i watched it. i don't even know if i can explain why. "Just plain and simple, i hated it!!" it was dumb. now, my daughter krystina LOVED it and i think Kaitlyn liked it. maybe it was the blood for me. i like a good scary movie with suspense, not all the grosseness. now i lOVED chainsaw masacre and such like taht and they have blood. <shrugs> so, i'm not for sure what it was. just dumb i think. The whole movie was dumb.

Charlie has to stay in Hospital! <pouts>

June 4th 2007 20:45
charlie in hospital
my hubby acting cute!!
so, i walk in and he has this HUGE "NO" written on his left arm. i ask him what thats for. he said they took him down for surgery this morning and when they where prepping him, he told them to put a "NO" on his left arm and a "Yes" on his right arm. Then he tells me as he's laughing, "There not operating on the wrong arm while i'm out of it!!" then he goes on to tell me, havent you heard of that poor uy in Florida that went in to get an amputation and they took the wrong leg." WOW, he's pretty smart thinking of this.
charlie in the hospital
heres hubby with the HUGE "NO" on his left arm, with Kaity" "Don't ya just love those socks."
well it's a good thing he thought of the No, because here he's only in one day and they already screwed up. got him preped for surgury and when the dr saw him preped he said "What the hell are they doing, you can't have surgery atleast until wednesday. we gotta keep you getting IV fluids until then or you won't heal." off he gets sent back up. i go to hepp him to the bathroom and they never even bothered putting his underwear back on. good thing his room mate and wife werent in there or they would have been flashed his front, then he turns around, butt towards the hall and thats all open too. "Good Grief!!" do they care about a persons privacy!!! lol so i dressed him and headed him to the potty. he's going to be in until wednesday for surgery and probably awhile after taht. he's getting a plate put in his arm and two screws, chances are 96 percent the arm will be as good as it was. he's not even on anything for pain and hasn't been since we went to the ER. The nurses just shake there head and can't believe how strong he is. he did say his other arms the one taht hurts cause of the IV. <huge laugh> atleast i did find out he will get off with pay. just no overtime pay. he's hoping they'll let him back at the mill with a cast since he's a superviser. he doesn't want off for four weeks or whatever it will be.

ok, theres the update!! Tammy

"Pleassseee don't let me run out of gas!!"

June 4th 2007 02:33
yep, i pulled an Ashley!!! <winks @ Ash and grins> i had sooo much on my mind after leaving the hospital , leaving my husband behind. i even started tears flowing strongly when the nurse said he had to stay. "It was our first night together in 5 nights dammit!!" lol i'm such a dork. crying at the hospital, having to look down so the nurse can't tell.
after leaving four hours latter from the hospital. i topok Kiatlyn to work, drove home, pulled up and thats when i noticed the 'bright orange light" lit up saying i'm on E. i had my radio blasting so i didn't hear the warning. i have NO idea when it even came on. it's a mile and a half before the gas station. Kaitlyn should be calling anytime, for me topick her up from work. i'm going to be riding by myself so if i run out at a stop light, i'll have to push it alone. i'm driving a SUV so it's not a tiny thing. it's a smaller SUV atleast. It's Raining!! i guess i'll have to get dressed instead of running in my jammies. <grins>
i'm going to be sooo nervouse when she calls. i can feel the anxiety already

"Charlies in the Hospital!!:"

June 3rd 2007 21:50
he'll be fine, but "Have you ever done something stupid, taht as soon as you started doing it, you realized it was the stupidist thing you could ever, almost possibly do??" well, hubby did that today he put his self in a REALY bad spot between all three horses and was kicked. he saw the feet rear, right when they first reared and had no time to move since he was in the middle of two other horoses, he didn't want kicked in the lungs so he put his arm up to block. he flew about twenty feet. he has a compound fracture. the bone broke the skin, but we couldn't realy see it, just the horrible holes from it. it blood forever. They admited hiom to have one of those bone dr's come look at him tomarow, and because with it through the skin, infection can happen easily.he wouldn't even go to the hospital for over about two hours. Then i finally "Made" him and it's a good thing.
just me and our fur friends. it's raining lightly. i just put the horses out to graze. i think i'll mess on here a bit and then go paint some crosses. Kaitlyn doesn't get off until 9:00pm.

"A Girl & Her horse!"

June 2nd 2007 18:39
The way a girl and her horse holds their relatioship just amazes me!! I LOVED watching this develop over all the years my grils have had their horses. i don't think Kaitlyn would have had the same bond if she didn't break her herself. it shows in the pictures i think and ijust wanted to share.
Kaity and Wildfire
Kaitlyn & Wildfire"
Kaity & Wildfire
Kaity and Wildfire


"I like to make sure kaitlyn gets a couple hours a day with her horse. not counting feedings, feet cleans and such." even though we're done with our school uyear, regular school isn't out yet, so her hours are a little limited. i'm glad about this because we hang out, play games, craft, work on non-prof stuff, have puppies to play with. our days are full, but the fun kind of full. The mostly sitting on you butt relaxing full. <grins>

Music to Deer's Ears!!!

June 2nd 2007 17:31
i heard the FUNNIEST thing about the people that use to own the home we're in now. we had to go to the police station to get permits to sell Amber Alert watches for our non-prof fund raisning. when we gave our adress to the sherriff, he told us a story of how he didn't like the people that lived here. we live high up on a hill sitting above a huge line of wooded property that runs along a creek. it's perfect for hunters on both sides of the creek. we don't let hunters use our land, but the neighbors all have land tahts wooded, and attatched. two doors downs wooded land meets with ours. they hunt, and they allow lots of people to hunt their land. The old owners of this house wnated their deer to stay and didn't like hunters, so they hooked up a stareo, cranked it up REAL loud. it was FULL of gunshot sounds and other loud noises. scaring off the deer. The sherriff was sooo mad about it. <huge laugh> i LOVE the old owners!!! i hope i run into them some day, so i can get a laugh with them and tell them how awesome that was, what they did.
just sitting here, drinking my slim fast. Going out in a few to take pics of my new crosses. i'm working on two for smoking now. one says "Smoking Kills" the other is ia little wrong, but i want these to be catchy phrases and "True" to what realy happens. it says "Finaly Stopped Smoking" my spelling sucks, so if ever what i write here is wrong, i do double check with a dictionary before i put the phrases on. <smiles>
hubby is crazy. he just got off work, is napping a little, but wants woke up at 3:30 so he can go with me to drop Kaity off, because he wants to take me out for lunch at the chinies buffet. he's silly. he has to leave by five to work, after just working a midnight, starts at 6pm, works all evening, then all night and gets off at 6:00 am. Then he's off until monday or tuesday, when he then starts days

Watched Pans Labrynth!!!

June 2nd 2007 02:18
Just finished watching Pans Labrynth and man was that a greta movie!! Kaitlyn and i watched it together.well, we watched half last night and just finished up the rest. i LOVED it. The only bad thing is it's all in spanish so to understand it, you have to read the sub titles at the bottom the whole time. it was worth it. in the begining i didn't know if it would be and after checking to see if it had an english version and a HUGE "OHH MAN, This betetr be worth it!!" lol we settled in for the movie. it was way worth it.
now we have two scary ones. one for tonight, one for tomarow. Black X-Mas is one.
ok, off to pop some pocorn and check out another movie. dad has one more midnight after tonight. he actualy works almost a double tomarow. 6pm-6am instead of midmight-6 AM

"Another reason i live to the fullest!!"

June 1st 2007 20:52
charlies accident

i've learned many lessons in life that have taught me to live everyday as if it's your last. This is Charlies car after driving it up under the back of a pepsi deisel. The wheels of the truck sat on his hood. or atleast whats left of his hood.
even after this wreck, he still has a sense of humor. he had been working midnights that night. he usualy gets home around 8:00 AM, so at 9;30 i started to worry. he doesn't believe in cell phones, and so even though we have an extra, he just doesn't carry it. he doesn't use a computer unless on a rare occasion he has too. he's just not into techno stuff

People are soooo selfish!!!

June 1st 2007 17:41
for christmas Charlies brother from FT.Lauderdale always sends the neatest gifts. we're excited every year to see what new, cool idea he comes up with. This year he sent us a fift certificate fro "American Forests." we could either have "2" tree's sent to us here in our home, or we could let American Forest take the trees and plant them where they aremost needed. If we let them take them, it would be 92 tree's instead of "2". not sure why theres such a huge difference in amounts, but probably something along the lines of "It's better to give then recieve." so, for us it was a no brainer. we'd let them palnt 92 tree's wherever they are needed. when we called, the lady was shocked. she said "No one has EVER given the 92 tree's instead of taking the "2" for their won benafit.
we got a choice of places for ours to be sent. we picked "Katrina". Thats pretty neat because we are trying to book our extra week in september near there, to show the kids how even today, all this time latter, how effected they still are,a dn now they can see, what our 92 tree's will do. "That makes my heart smile hugely>
life is beautiful and you should always give more then you recieve. it will be paid back i think three fold, giving you a beautiful life

"Had The Alien Dream again!"

June 1st 2007 04:22
For years i've been having this re-accuring dream about aliens attacking. i had it again last night. i don't remimber as much as usual because i jumped through alot of dreams.
it was pretty out, like it usualy is in it. we where outside. i don'tr even know who "We" where, but just "We', we where by a huge feild, like whats in front of my house. usualy right before the space ships swoop in, the scar fills with clouds and turns this scary green. this time it stayed blue. all of a sudden there where space ships just flying in from all over. Poeple staired at first in shock. Lots of people all over, houses scattered here and there in an almost line, in front of the feild. the ships started blasting, fire bomb type things blasting down. the land blowing up here and there. people started running and screaming.
Thats all i remimber from this dream. i've also had dreams about the night of the living dead. dead people everywhere, chasing us alive people. creepy
