Sunday Cleaning too

Barf. First things first, Juan is doing very well. Went up there last night and he has made a wonderful friend named Jerry. Juan's extremely worried about Jerry. Jerry's dad is in jail, his mom doesn't want him, so he's dropped off there because he is angry. :( Who wouldn't be angry. They have no place for him. Juan and Jerry were the only ones who were allowed up stay up late last night. All the other kids had their mattresses pulled to the hallway and had to sleep under watch. You know for just anxiety, my son doesn't belong there. But stupid insurance won't cover anything different, so what do you do. No one ever visits the other kids. No one. It's extremely sad.

I woke up this morning more CLEANING. UGH, this time I stripped the laundry room apart, cleaned out and organized the wardrobe in there. Not finished with that yet, it was a chore, so when I finish I'll share the pics in there. That was a HUGE job. I'm moving at a snails pace now. BUT I washed all the walls in the living room, stripped the wood floors, got under all the furniture. Cleaned behind and under everything in the room. Did my curio cabinet. Even cleaned the ceiling and all those beams. UGH. It's about time to start getting ready for the hospital. BUT...... Tomorrow I should be able to finish the rest. I even maintained the upstairs. Funny thing is, I do this once a week for the most part. Not under everything like I did today, but I can't understand how it's still dirty. Me and the mommy loop girls, literally ALL do this once a week. Before and after cleaning races and you know what. Racing really does motivate you to get it done. Today, I am racing with Annissa. We update through emails our progress. She is keeping me going, I am keeping her going. Whatever works and friends are the best in the world. Here's my living room all done!! I used some new stuff on the floors, made them shine, but they are slicker than snot! Oh and I have to keep pillows on the couch now, in the last pic it's dark but you will see Claire barking at the Little old man, She stands all day on the back of the couch barking and she's flattening my pillows ARGH!



LOL Opies wakin up stretching, gearing to growl at Little old man walkin dog

Above is Claire stretched out on the back of the couch growling at the man LOL she does what we call poodie Whistlling a mixture of barking and growling and yodling!
Happy Sunday

Saturday Morning Project

I got bitten by the cleaning bug. Me and the mommy loop girls do cleaning races LOL today I think I beat them ALL!!!!! I did the whole upstairs!! I did fans, washed walls, stripped the wood floors then waxed them. Washed all sheets and blankets. Smells like an ocean breeze up there. I missed having Juan complain about the vinegar though. I thought I'd share pics of my accomplishment for today!! :) I did the bathroom too and scrubbed the fridge. Took every shelf out and scrubbed! Tomorrow is the middle floor, then the cave basement! I hope I hold up that long. As you can see from the pics, Anthony is fully using Juans room while he is away!
Melzie, post some pics of your progress, I know you are in on the cleaning today too!! I think Annissas gonna leave us high and dry! I have to quit and get ready to go to hospital today..........but here's my pics proving I raced today!! :P I've been slacking on the racing lately, sorry gals!




Above are Juans room and Anthony using his video games!



These are Anthonys room which always look the same because he keeps his room spotless!!



Above Vannahs room!!
I wish we could hurry and finish this house :( It's so old and takes so much time and energy to fix. I want it done so we can move on!! Just the bathroom and the part of the basement to go! Shouldn't take too much stuff.
Happy Saturday, be clean!

Hi everyone!!

Hope everyone is well.
Things have been very tough here lately.
I'm so exhausted it is unreal.
Juan is in the hospital right now. That's all I really want to say about that at this point. I miss him horribly and cry ALOT. When I go to see him and leave as a mother, it tears me up inside. I want to grab him and take him with me. But know right now that is not possible.
After visiting with him this morning I left got to moms and did something I never have in my life. I sat on her couch and within 3 minutes completley and totally fell asleep. I am emotionally drained.
I smiled for the first time in 3 days last night. It felt very, very good. I am rarely ever not smiling.
Today I have a huge migraine. My head hurts so bad. I have to go back to the hospital in a few minutes. I am dreading being out in this heat. It can go away at any time and would not hurt my feelings. We are on alot of days over 100 degrees.
My friend Melzie just had me LOLing so hard it's unreal. I feel guilt that I am laughing when my son is in hospital. But I appreciate the laughter. Such a wonderful woman. For my baby boy a song a hear and think of him. All we do need is a lil patience.


Patience

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said woman take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said sugar make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(inhale) Patience...
Ooh, oh, yeah

Sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes, I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said woman take it slow
Things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said sugar take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, Oh never break it
'Cause I can't take it

...little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah,
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more pati... (ence, yeah)
I've been walking these streets at night
Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeah)
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don't change but maybe the name
I ain't got time for the game
'Cause I need you (Patience, yeah)
Yeah, yeah well I need you
Oh, I need you (Take some patience)
Whoa, I need you (Just a little patience is all we need)
Ooh, this ti- me....

Round 2

So Juan gets up, gets ready. Starts giving Kyle trouble about going to school. Kyle tries to drive him down to bus stop, he won't go. Bus comes, he stands in middle of street. Will not get on, will not go. So I call the school and ask if someone can be patient with him etc. etc. She starts defending her counselors etc. etc. I say "All I AM ASKING OF YOU IS THAT YOU BE NICE TO HIM RIGHT NOW" She was like well he has to keep his shirt tucked in those are the rules. Screw the freaking shirt at this point, I'm trying to get him in the damn front door.
So Kyle is taking him there now. I haven't a clue what will happen. I got very mad and hollered at him because he kept throwing his backpack out of the car. I am frustrated beyond belief. Kyle could lose is job and is losing pay everytime he takes off work for this. He's getting mad at me, but either or, someone has to get Savannah off to school and get her ready. Someone has to be at both places.
I am so stressed it's unreal. All these problems and one more with Juan thrown right back on top. I'm beyond angry. I have spent 11 years dealing with Juan and his problems. I am tired of them. I don't really feel sorry for him anymore. That may make me sound like a horrible, horrible person. No one knows what it's like to every day walk on eggshells so you don't start a fit. Deal with phone call after phone call from school. Sure he has very good days, but there are so many bad too. I can't get myself together, I can't take care of my problems because I am so wrapped up in Juans stuff, Kyle and my troubles, insurance woes, trying to hide Savannah from Juan so she doesn't pick up on his fear and then we have 2. Anthony gets neglected because there just isn't any time left after messing with Juan. I'm tired. I am officially down, I don't even have enough strength to wave a white flag.
I play Toon Town every day and no one really understands why, imagine for just a little while going to a different world where there isn't any of this crap. It takes me away for just a little while. I need a break. A big serious break and I will never get one. The punches fly at me from every direction. This will happen again tomorrow and then again Friday. Saturday there will be some reprieve then Sunday fits will start and then Monday this whole shebang will happen again. I Have done this many, many years. I haven't the strength to do it again.

God sends you what you need at the right time.

Funny how things work out in life. Why things happen, when they happen. Jay, Lindsays husband came over tonight to talk to Juan and take him out to dinner to find out what's going on with him. We were sitting on the couch talking and I started telling him about how in Virginia I worked at this Karate studio for Mr. Nichols. How I loved it, seeing the kids learn discipline etc. I truly LOVED that job and so respected Mr. Nichols. He was so talented, worked at the Pentagon, had a successful business. Was such a cool, cool man!
Well no sooner than I got finished telling Jay, I sign on and 7 or 8 years later I hear "You've got mail" It was from Master Nichols!!!!
I could almost cry to know that 7 or 8 years later, I made such an impression on him as a worker that he took time to look me up and email me.
That is the most special I have felt in so long and I am sitting here trying not to cry.
Funny, I would never ever of thought I would've crossed his mind. :) Maybe I'm not as bad as what I think I am
Here is his website and where I used to work! He moved to the front of the building but same location!! I miss living there sometimes
Master Nichols
Thank God for that. Just when I couldn't feel any worse about myself in life that gives me a glimmer of hope.
:)
Thanks for all the cards. Lois sent me a boquet of flowers yesterday and today a big boquet of daisies. They are my favorite. They always look as if they are smiling. Daisys are Ladies :) Lois is my TT buddy , my friend. Thanks Lo Lo!!

:(

I am so suffocated and stressed.
Today is my birthday and it has gone horribly right off the start. I'd expect no less because every year it is completely freaking awful.
Juan WILL not go to school. NOT, refuses. So now it's a trip to Kosairs for me where I will spend my whole day in the ER..........So Happy Birthday to me!!!

Everyones in this house is always made special, Everyones and every year, same song and dance for me. More stress, more headache. I should've expected no less.

Saturday, Saturday!

Ok no one knew where the sonnet was from............... Sense and Sensibility!! Come on peoples!!! LOL Doesn't everyone know that stuff?
Had a really bad afternoon yesterday. Woke up this A.M. feeling alot better and more clearheaded. Thank God for that.
Getting ready for Anthonys party. It's supposed to be hot! Owooooooooo
Nothing much else going on. Have a Happy Saturday!

Ever read Shakespeare?

I love this sonnet! Tis my favorite!! Most of you know why or will know why LOL

SONNET 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Found the book downstairs when I was digging out school supplies and that was highlighted :) I can pretty much recite it verbatim!! The middle I have a lil trouble with.
It's Friday. I'm bored. Anthonys party is tomorrow.

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings that I do
And I blame you!

Happy Friday! Hope to see alot of you at Anthonys birthday tomorrow!!
Then Sunday its Karen and Tommys photo shoot WOO HOO :) Look purty for me.

Boys deemed blog worthy

Okay, so my oldest comes home from school and now has an "Official" Girlfriend. We sit out in the kitchen eating pepperonis and talkin about her etc. She wants him to go on a date tonight to her church. Okay...........all fine and good.
Fast forward my middle son comes in and after we talk about his day at school, Anthony tells him about his new girlfriend and stuff. Anthony leaves to come check his email in the living room, so Juan and I start talking about girls. He said he has no ladies yet and that usually it takes about 3 weeks. I kept telling him maybe they are intimidated or something. Then he says it will just take awhile and proceeds to drink his milk........... From the other room we hear "It won't take awhile if you are hot and sexy like me" That milk shot out of Juans mouth across the whole kitchen and we both were laughing soooo hard. Not that my son isn't cute, because they are both adorable, but that comment was friggin hilarious. I look at the milk on the floor and Juan says "I'll get to that once the sickness passes"
Literally made me LOL
Oh geez!!
Reminds me of that song by Right Said Fred
I'm to sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it hurts!!
Happy Sexy Wednesday!

My baby is 16 today!!

I tried to make him a video BUT.............Scanner is broken :( But, he is getting big. I can't believe he is old enough to drive and get a job. It's so depressing!! Maybe not for him. He came home from school with girlie phone numbers. Sigh! Happy Birthday Anthony!! Big party Saturday WOO HOO!!!

Someone sent me this and I LOLed it is soooooooooo true!!


You know you're from Louisville when........


Your "International" airport has only one passenger flight that actually leaves the 48 contiguous U.S. states and is also the size of a average mall

The in-state sports rivalry is paid more attention to than the national championship.

You live in an area that occasionally gets considerable snowfalls, floods, and tornadoes... but has no capacity to deal with any of the above.

You pronounce the name of your city different than anyone else you've heard.

You think the rest of the people in Kentucky sound like hicks.

When you think "Kentucky" you don't automatically think horse racing or fried chicken.

You ask your doctor for an allergy cure and he tells you to "move"

You've shovelled 10+ inches of snow and worn shorts in the same week.

When people ask what school you went to, they don't mean Vanderbilt, Yale, or Harvard; they mean Ballard, Male, Manual, Trinity or St. X.

You know what the Bambi Walk is.

Your last ten vacations were in Panama City or Destin.

You make an emergency run to Kroger for bread and milk at the first sighting of a snowflake.

You've lived here for years, yet somehow you get hopelessly lost each time you attempt a shortcut through Cherokee Park.

You're convinced turn signals are useless options on a vehicle.

You hold up traffic to let a motorist you don't know into your lane.

You give directions based on landmarks that no longer exist or street names that have changed, but your directions never confuse any of the other Louisvillians

You have never been to the Derby, but wouldn't miss the Oaks.

You call in sick to attend the Oaks and spot your boss - who also called in sick - at the next betting window.

You think all the REAL hicks live in New Albany IN.

You think the only thing Southern Indiana is good for is buying pumpkins.

When introduced to another life-long Louisvillian, you spend the first part of the conversation finding out how you are connected. It's never as many as six degrees of separation - usually three will do it.

You think a pervert is someone who would rather have sex than watch basketball.

You've built a shrine to Rick Pitino in your basement.

You can read about Rick Pitino in at least three different sections of your newspaper.

You think the rest of the world knows what Benedictine spread is.

You think the rest of the world knows what a Hot Brown is.

You have never eaten fish that wasn't fried.

You think the whole world puts spaghetti in chili.

You want another bridge built over the Ohio River, just so long as it doesn't cut through YOUR neighborhood.

You've experienced a "salt storm" after a two-inch snowfall.

You're still complaining that Dillards took over Bacon's

You're still calling Bashford Manor Mall a Mall and it has been gone for 7 Years.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Louisville.

First day of school

First day of school went off without a hitch. Boys got out on time, Savannah got out on time. Went and saw Dave and got a huge adjustment. You guys have no clue how the tension just drains away from your body when you get one. I had therapy on my back and Ahhhhhhhhhhh!! Oh what a relief!! Here are some pics of Savannah. She was in her carseat and very nervous. The bus came, we got out of the van and she took off running to the bus. Around the block we ran into her bus and she saw us and she waved wildly from the bus!! She's not home yet, but I bet she comes home exhausted!!! I can't wait to hear how her day went!

So flipping sad

My last baby starts school tomorrow. I made this video,cried all through it, cry when I watch it. I enjoyed my days at home with her for 5 years and now someone else gets to spend their days with my baby. I'm so sad I cannot even express it. Our daily zoo trips or shopping trips. :o( Someone gets my days with my baby girl. Here's my video of her first 5 years. The first pic is right when we came home from hospital with her :)
Have gotten a couple questions about video. The girl with the boy and Savannah
is my friend Melody whom I met offline and she ended up becoming my best friend in this world. That is her son John. We were pregnant at same time and had babies at same time. Was wonderful. The other question is, is that really me holding Savannah LOL Yes it's me! My hair was brown from not being able to color it during pregnancy!! My face was so swollen YIKES!! Pregnancy does that to you!! Hey at least I had earrings in!

Peace and Flutterbys!

Happy Friday!

It's hot! HOT. Last night we had Savannahs orientation, it was so hot I could've sworn my Crocs were melting to the pavement. I had an asthma attack from the ozone. Haven't had one of those in FOREVER and EVER.
Savannahs gotten so big. Got all of her supplies together and she is all ready for Kindergarten. Be prepared to be overwhelmed with pics and tears on Monday. It's so bittersweet.
I also have made the decision to go back to a shop. I truly, truly liked it. Just work in the day while kids are at school. Then be home when they get home.
Not much else happening. Did I mention the heat? Good grief.
I think my fish are frying out in the pond. That water in there is HOT! poor fishy fishys. Raccoon boys tail has grown all back in. He finally can swim upright! YAY!
My dogs are good. Geeks, but good. Opie is a HUGE dog as you guys know and he is trying to lay on my lap as I type. I have to keep reminding him that he is not a lap dog.
I put some squirty cheese in Claires Kong toy and it has kept her so busy. She is tossing that thing all over trying to get it out. She is soooooo stinking sweet. I cannot thank Deborah enough for choosing us to take her. She has been an absolute joy in all of our lives!
I laid in bed yesterday and watched Ever After. I Love Drew Barrymore and I Love that movie. Claire bear and opie both snuggled up in bed with me. Savannah watched it with me but got upset when I cried!! I'm such a SAPPPPP it's unreal! I guess I will never let her watch Titanic with me. Holy crud that's a real tear fest there!
I like movies though that stir up some kind of emotion. Whether it's laughter or tears. Either of them! I enjoy. I have a stack of unwatched movies on my desk. Guess I'll do that this weekend!!
Okay, my kids are hungry, I'm guessing I should feed them or something LOL
Have a happy Friday.
Be blessed

Tuesday!

Okay, girls I'll call the shots today and ask the question!! I always leave it up to you guys. So here's a project. What's dinnertime like at your house? Here is dinnertime at Dianna's LOL. My dinner consisted of some fries and icewater. Are you jealous? Anywhoo, this is what I have to endure when I sit down to eat and what I look at while I eat. Can you say Drool?????? :) I don't think I have seen a hotter man in all of my life.
The first couple are of my babies. They follow me everywhere!!! So when I eat, they beg and beg and these are a couple pics of them, doing what they do best!
Ya like my Andy Warhol, pop art lookin table cloth :P I love it!

Here's Claire trying to sneak on the table. God love her heart!

The next one is of my view when I eat. Doesn't look like much a door. Oh wait, below is the close up. Swoooooooon :) hot hot man!

Thank you aunt Sandy for that calendar! I have waited all year for August. Not cause of my birthday or anything, but because of my calendar pic!!

Below I wasn't giving my lil puppy any food, so she decided to jump on the bench with me!!


Isn't she sweet?? My dogs are so special to me. They melt my heart!! And are so kissable!! :)

Happy Sunday!

It's only about 2 oclock and I am already worn down. I got up about 10 and super scrubbed the kitchen. Did the walls, under the fridge and stove etc. I usually get those once a month so it wasn't so bad. I flipped my calendar to hotty sawyer. Swoooooon :) got the floors all scrubbed. I have some haircuts coming over. I'm beat.
I have to get up early. Savannah has a gastro appt at 10:30 am. Then there's lots of school stuff and birthday stuff I have to get together. Anthony will be 16 this year. Owoooooo! So much to do and it's so hot outside it's unreal.
Weekend was kind of dull. Went to moms for a bit yesterday. She kept the boys. Um other than that, I pretty much cleaned or played on computer. I'll be glad when the heat breaks.
Anyone been up to anything good? Annissa I know just started another Loopy Loop!
My poor Melody is having such a hard time. :( I think me and Mel should meet half way between where we each live and move into together! Come on Melzie!! You've stayed at my house a few times, we are highly compatable. Could Scrabble all day and all night and yak! :) All kidding aside, I hope you cheer up soon. I don't like hearing all the bad that happens to you. You are way too good. I'm gonna check in on you in a bit and hopefully you are smiling!! Love you very much!!
Jenzie has fallen off the face of the earth. She met a man from Austrailia and he came here and they are madly in love and she has dropped off the cyber face of the earth.
Mandy and Jayme are on vacation I think. I really need to read my emails I have um 941 that I have not touched. So maybe tis I who dropped off the cyber earth too LOL
Okay gals, updates. Let me know what your up too. Send me some pics!
Annissa I'm reading the email on your new loop, I have to clean out my mailbox and join and I'll promise to play along!
Happy Sunday guys
Love you lots

Happy Saturday

It's early. Savannah got up early so that means mom has to get up early.
OOF, I so did NOT want to get up.
The week this week drug on very slowly. Next week will go by quickly because I have a million and one things to do.
My boys are a mess, an absolute mess. Both of my boys are cute and are at the age where girls are coming into the picture.
For my youngest son, I had no clue at the rate they would be coming into the picture. I am betting when school starts it is going to be that much worse. Phone rings constantly, emails constantly. Oye. I have a long road.
He asked me to take some pics for his myspace page. Keep in mind he's 12 soon to be 13. I tell him to go get on some nice clothes for his pictures. He comes out with no shirt on and rhinestone hearts on his um nipples, for lack of a better word. I look at him and say "What on earth are you doing" He said "Obviously starting a fad" then out the door walks Savannah in the same attire. I tell him to go inside get a shirt on and come on. He then said "Aw, I have to remove my pasties?" How does a 12 year old know about pasties? He would never of heard it at home. Never, ever, ever. So what I wanna know is how he knows what they are? Anyways, that threw me for a big loop and I should've gotten a pic of that to use later in life.
I took a few pics of him for his page and took some of Anthony, but Anthony didn't like his. They are both so different it's unreal. Gonna post some pics of them.
Here is Anthony with some basketball players! Makes him look short but he's tall LOL

Here's the one Juan wants for his Myspace. Lets just give an eyeroll, but he said the ladies will like that one???????? The ladies, will like that one?????Ladies???? So, all of my family that has myspace, add Juan to your list!! Keep a close eye on that one!

6 short years ago, they were this. From these sweet boys to pasties. Sigh

Happy Saturday!

Sad today

I am having a hard day today. Mostly just sad. I can't figure people out. I can't figure out, how they work. Why they do the things they do. I am close to no one. Absolutely no one. I never could figure out, why I don't let people in. More and more me not letting them in, does me more good than bad.
When I had Savannah, I was going to stay at home with her, til she went to school. So I took in a couple kids to watch and did odd jobs, hair, etc on the side.
All of my family knows Maddie May. I have had her since she was a baby. We kept her every single weekend. She would stay over night. She stayed weeks at our house. Almost every holiday. Every Halloween. I loved her.
Well, as you guys know, her mom hasn't treated me the best. Especially for all the things that we have done for her. Taken her on our trips, spent our holidays with her. All of it. :(
Well, over a week ago, her mom told me Maddie would be here Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. She didn't show up Wednesday. No big deal, with them that happens alot. I never say anything, because Savannah loves Maddie so much. I didn't want to strain my and Karens relationship so that Savannah and Maddie can always be friends. I knew that when they both started school that Maddie would quit coming. I just figured even though it was never talked about.
Well, I called to find out where Maddie was and when she was coming back and her mom just up and hung up on me. No hi, bye, kiss my ass. Nothing.
Be an adult, tell me she won't be coming back. Now, that she hung up on me, I'm extremely torked off. I did nothing. Never have been rude despite all the rude things she has done. So now Savannah has lost her best friend. Almost 6 years of them being inseparable. I am used once again in my life and tossed aside like garbage. Why do people take everything they can from me and just leave me? It's hard not to be sad. I had a part in raising her. I loved her.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why people use me so much. Maybe I am an easy target? Maybe people see doormat written on my head. None the less, that is exactly why I tell no one anything. Why I share nothing. It's easier in the long run. If you tell stuff, people generally use it to come back at you later. Gotten a good dose of that with several people. I've gotten too many doses of alot and can't figure out why. What you see with me, is what you get.
In ending that, I don't know what to do as far as trying to figure people out.
Absolutely do not understand meaness, hatred, using.
Things on my I do not understand in life list.
Happy Wednesday.

Kerplunk is the sound of me hitting the floor

The sun set and I just finished the back room. The heavy china cabinet I pulled out and decobwebbed behind it and mopped, dusted and conditioned all the wood on the table and chairs. Conditioned the china cabinet too. Moved all the furniture, mopped underneath everything. Cleaned every single window. Owoooooooooo I'm exhausted! Here's a pic of how shiny it is and Claire bear fixing to mess it all up again! She's actually watching Vannah play in the sandbox, but LOL she'll mess it up!

On one of the hottest days

of the year, why do I take on the Florida room??? Just call me stupid. I had to take a break, it's sweltering out there. I am giving it an overhaul, but I may have to wait to finish til the sun starts setting. IT'S HOT out there. Phew Owoooo. I think it wore me out! I had the boys pull out furniture out there so we could get any spideys! Good thing we did cause there were some spideys. Gag. Boys were petrified and so was I, but it was so hot, I grabbed a shoe and squished them up good!
Happy Monday!

PS

I updated my photo blogger to the right. I am going to add on when I can contact them (Flickr) to get my passwords. I totally stink at that!
Hope you enjoy!

Some beauty!

Howdy! Happy Um, what day is it? Thursday?

Hi everyone!! Hope everyone is well!
Been a long day, I took a long nap!
My boys are always trying to be cool and what not, so I thought I would try to embarrass them a little :P
We were driving to my moms house and there was a car full of girls next to us. What is more embarrassing to 2 teenage boys than to have their mother do stupid stuff.
So I turn on the 80s station and Electric Avenue was on. An old techno like song. Don't you know I turned it up, full blast to where the van doors were vibrating. I felt like I was in the Cheech and Chong movie. The car full of girls next to us looked over. Juan was slouching far down in his seat..............What do I do?
I start dancing in the van while driving! YEE HAW. Ohhhhh they were embarrassed!! The girls looked over and smiled and I Loved it!! When they bring their girlfriends home, I'm going to break out the eyeliner and color all my teeth in black! This is Kentucky, I'm gonna be a hillbilly! Juan gets really embarrassed and I so totally love it. So we pull up at my moms and all their friends are standing out front and I turn the radio up even further and Owoooooooooo, they jumped out of that van so fast and started downplaying the music, saying their ears hurt and it was junk. Har har har. We gonna rock onto electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher :P
They have a long road!

Hi at 11 PM on Wednesday Night!

A late post. I'm trying to go to sleep, but I'm not tired at all.
Owoooooooooooooo
I watched a few Love movies today. They are my favorite. One thing that I really have picked up on, in all my lil love movies, is the way the directors capture, that exact moment when someone realizes that they truly love another. This is what I love about those kind of movies.
Sense and Sensibility, Edward and Eleanor, their love story seemed rushed for me in the movie, but the one they captured so well was Colonel Brandon and Marianne. The moment when he walked in the room, when she was playing the piano. The look on his face. Priceless to me.
Tonight watching The Bridges of Madison County. When they first got to the Bridge and he hands her the flowers and she says they are poisonous, he drops them and they both go down to pick them up. They look up. The look.
Sigh. I love that look. But in real life, no one ever really gives that look. Or so I thought.
We sat down to watch American Inventor..........A fireman was on there and was almost crying, talking about how he loves his wife, how he hears her voice telling him he can do this or do that. The look on his face when he talked about his wife. You could see, he truly, truly loved her. Six children later and he loves her.
Of course I had tears in my eyes listening to him talk about his wife, While Kyle is behind me laughing at the guy. :(
Maybe some men just clearly cannot see, that all any woman in the world wants is to be loved. To have someone look at them, like that first time and then to look at them like that til life ends.
When the looks stop and when the looks turn to those that you really feel this person hates you. What happens then?
I think I am just a whiney sap who needs to go to bed and get in the real world.
Happy Wednesday night.

Hello, Hello

Been a few days since I have updated! I went and looked at my blog and it was really boring with no pics. Annissa wanted to do a thing where we document our whole day with pics and such. Too bad for her my life is boring, so I skirted around the idea with my Saturday and Girls...........You better follow along! Nikki made a nice video of her day. I can't keep up with that but I expect to see some pics!
So here is my Saturday well the part that was interesting LOL. I even will include a very RARE pic of myself, since as my family knows, I never let my pic be taken, but my daughter took it. It looks like I have freckles and is grainy, but I have no freckles!
I'll start first with the most beautiful girl in the world! :o) She melts my heart


Here is my middle son! My oldest will NOT let me take his pic. Just like his mom :)

My mother is going to beat me for this, but I think it's an excellent pic of her!

To show you how boring my life really is, here is my purse. I know you were all just dying to see a photo of that
:P

Below is one of my favorite things I own. It's my pool bag and I try to keep it safe! I love, love, love this bag. Snoopy is on it and snoopy makes me smile. I hope it lasts forever because it's one of my very few treasured items.

And UGH last a pic of me Savannah took. I think she may have some photography flair. Feel free to vomit at any time! I am the epitome of geekiness and have my lil mischievous grin :P I wasn't playing any pranks that day, but mischievous all the same! Oh and me and mom both are wearing our Ugly Minnie Pearl Pool hats! LOL they are so ugly!

Okay, hope you enjoy my boring pics, Annissa I'll head your way first, then to my Melzie welzies puddin n pie blog!
Love ya lots!

Happy Saturday!

Got up early and started my weekend cleaning. I clean every single weekend. I just keep the house picked up and swept during the week and when Saturday comes, I turn it over and shake it out. It's 11 am and so far I have done 2 loads of laundry. Pressed and hung Savannahs clothes, pulled both computer desks out, swept and mopped under those. Got the couches all cleaned, pillows all cleaned. Everythings dusted. Windows washed. I pulled out the big screen TV and got under that and um.... WOOPS, I'm not sure what i did but the picture is gone, but there is sound. I'm sure I just pulled a cord loose or something.
Every Saturday, Juan wakes up and says "You're cleaning aren't you" LOL he says this because I use vinegar for everything and he hates it.
I only use vinegar on the wood floors and our house will smell like it all afternoon. He gripes til it goes away. :o) I personally love it! Makes me want a pickle.
Boys are reading the new Harry Potter. I'm feeling all better. Dogs are being geeks. Nothing else much going on. Boredom at it's finest. Getting ready to go scrub the kitchen down. I really need to do the Florida room but it gets so hot out there, I dont like messing with it.
Maybe I'll do that this evening.
Happy Saturday!

Thursday, Thursday

Ack, My brother came in this weekend and stayed with us and now has strep throat. I'm soooooo sorry. When my throat hurt, I had no idea I had strep. I feel awful about passing it on :( Sorry Johnny.
Today, I felt fantastic. We went to moms and went swimming all afternoon. It was so hot out and the pool felt awesome!! My mom always picks me and her up pool hats. Well, I couldn't find my Minnie Pearl hat, so I had to wear this black one, that looked like it had never been worn. So of course being in a pool with that many teenage boys, it gets wet. I get out of the pool, go to take a shower and I have a black ring encircling my head. LOL the dye must've stuck on me. Thank God, it came off.
It was very, very nice.
My stepbrothers were very pleasant and everyone got along great. It was a very nice day!
It stormed so badly here today. I was skeeeered and my yard was flooding. My fish pond sure is full now! I mean it rained to beat the band.
Antibiotic taking is going very good. It is really bothering my stomach. I need to pick up some Acidophilus and take it. I can't eat yogurt because of milk.
We went grocery shopping and came home.
That's about the extent of my day.
I have nothing to do, so I guess I'll lay on the couch and go to sleep. ZZzzZZzz
Have a Happy and Blessed Thursday!

Wednesday

I'm so sleepy! I took a nap yesterday, so last night I couldn't fall asleep at all. I think at 3:45, I finally went to bed, but had to get up early to take my antibiotic.
Feeling alot better. Still very weak and tired. But no more fever. Throat is 100% better. I'm getting back to my chipper old self.
Today I was sitting here, thinking and felt like I was missing something. I'm not sure if you know what I'm talking about. But anywhoo something was missing. It was the nagging headache I have had for 2 mos straight. I have had a headache ALOT lately and never thought about it, but it was probably a sinus infection. Anyways, its GONE :o) Nice not having a headache. I am so suprised about how much better I feel taking these antibiotics! My head feels clearer, no eye pain, no stuffy nose.
Making a mental note of this the next time I feel sick to take the meds. It probably all started on mothers day when I had that dizzy virus. That was the point the non stop headache started.
Thats about all thats going on. I'm gonna go take a nap and then I gotta meet my friend on TT for her Maxing party :) YAY! I'm so excited and gotta get my clever on to think of something to do for her.
Have a happy Wednesday everyone.
Be Blessed

Feeling 150% better than I did over the weekend and same with yesterday. Not up to my old usual self, but today the whineys are gone and fever is gone. Achiness still there some. Sore throat still there some.
You know, I am soooooo afraid of taking pills, not because of their size or anything, but because of the side effects. This time, I am taking them without a single twinge of anxiety. ::Shrugs:: I guess I felt so badly and know that the only way I will get better is to take them.
I actually ate today. I have been living off ice chips and pudding. So today I did eat some cereal. So YAY! :o)
It's early, I may chat again later. But wanted to update that I am healed!!
:) YEE HAW!

LOL pic

This pic Kyle said was back when I liked him still LOLLLLLL
That's funny stuff. I am dubbed unlovable :P
Tis okay, My dogs love me!
No worries Kyle, I'll still like you on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Ah the joys of marital problems! You should've driven me to the Dr, I would've liked you today too. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Have a happy Monday dear. Said very sarcastically of course! LOL
PS to see all my July Archives, you have to click on July to the right. I dunno what's with blogger lately. I've been back to posting so if you missed some just click right. Miss a day, Miss alot LOL So NOT true :P

Back from Dr.

I am such a baby LOL :P I bawled all the way to the Drs. My neck hurt everytime I tried to turn it to drive and I was crying and crying and crying. Mom can vouch for me that when I am sick, I am a BIG cry baby LOL .
Well, I get to the stop light and ugh was wiping my eyes and I hear HONK, HONK.... I didn't look, then I hear Honk, Honk again. I look over and there's this painter guy in his truck motioning for me to roll down my window. So I roll it down and say with my muffled cryey voice......."Is there something wrong?" He then says "Buck up" I'm thinking to myself, who is this Ahole telling me to buck up. Then he saves himself and says "You are much to pretty to cry like that" I thought that was really sweet and it made me stop crying for about 10 mins. So thanks Mr. Painter guy.
Okay, I get to the Dr. His nurse Bonita takes me back, I have a fever 102 and look awful. The Dr. walks in and says "Uh oh she's not smiling, she must be sick" They know me very well LOL and sure enough, rapid strep came back immediatley positive. Stinking strep throat. :(
I had no gas at all in the van and I totally didn't want to stop and get it. Didn't feel like moving. So the image of Kramer (Seinfeld) popped into my head, where he was going to take the line to the furthest of the E that it would go. It was pretty low and stupidly I don't know why I did that, but I was going to push it.
I made it to the drug store. Got my meds. Nice big fat Amoxicillin pills. Took them and am home. My line goes pretty far below E :)
I'm over my pity party. I'll probably be whining til my fever breaks! :P So I'll stay away from blogging til I am whine free.
Happy Monday
Be blessed

Early Monday

Didn't sleep any last night. Still feel horrible. Waiting for the Dr. to open. I have asked Kyle twice if he's going to take off to take me to Dr. I guess it's a big fat no and I'd expect no less.
I'm lightheaded, weak, fever. This should be an extremely fun drive.
Not to mention I'm very angry.
I would love for someone just to take care of me when I am sick.
Would be nice.
But, that only happens in the dreamworld.
Not much else happening. I have eaten so much ice it's unreal.
My dogs are geeks.
That's about it.
I'll update after I get home from Drs.
Happy Monday

UGH My 10 year friend returns

For the past 2 days, I literally have not moved out of my computer chair, other than to go lay down. I have been freezing and have an extremely sore throat.
I have a bad headache, have a fever. Went downstairs to see why my throat hurts so bad. Wouldn't you know. Tonsilitis.
I'm sooooooooo sad. I have to find the strength tomorrow to take myself to the Dr. and sit in that waiting room with all the kids.
There is no gluten free Tylenol, just the kids stuff, so I have to get some of that. I have asked Kyle to go get me some and he's not being too nice. Hollering, yelling at this or that.
Anywhoo, keep me in your prayers. You know my fear of pills. I haven't taken antibiotics since I had Tenosynovitis in 2005.
I'm gonna go lay down and cry and try to lay my clothes out for tomorrow so that's one less thing to do
:(

Boring Old Saturday

Nothing going on today. Absostinkinglutely nothing. I scrubbed the bathroom. Scrubbed the living room.
There has been an ongoing CFO marathon in TT and I have done that um 19 times now or so.
Kyle made dinner. Meatloaf, Smeatloaf. I haven't had it since getting this stinking disease. But he made it with rice and it wasn't too bad.
Johnny and Angie came over. Johnny wanted to play me in scrabble LOL
I whooped up on him pretty bad. :) I am very, very, very good at scrabble!
I shall change my name to Wordsmyth! I actually used to read the Scrabble dictionary for fun and I have the 2, 3 and 4 letter word list memorized.
I am truly 100% nerdy! I love every second of it.
Get it from my mother :) One time her and I and Kyle sat down to play Kyle on a 3 person match. He was watching TV or something and kept taking his turns and cheating. Like mother, Like daughter!
Anthony just got home from his trip. He had an excellent time.

Not much going on. I need to make Dr appts. Savannah needs her shots. I need my autoimmune disease blood check up, to see if this stinking disease is in remission or not. Anthony needs his school physical. Juan needs his school physical. Opie and Claire both need heartworming and Opie needs his shots. Kyle needs his Skin Cancer screening thingy. So much to do, so little time!

School starts in a month. I am secretly smiling inside, very, very bigly. Back to the salon for me. I have 4 senior pic appts, but those can be done on weekends! I have a wedding and engagement photo shoot soon. As for hairdressing I shall skip all the way to my chair. :)

Have a Happy and Blessed Saturday!

Bible School Program and Ice Cream Social

I have the cutest lil bugger in the world, who just speaks her mind and tells it like it is. Tonight we were leaving bible school and Memaw asked her if she wanted to go say goodbye to Father and she said "The man who wears the dress" LOL so cute! I explained to her that it was a robe and she informed me that he wore a necklace too. Too much to get into with her, but I tried to explain. So cute. Here are some pics. She did so well! Before we left I put her hair in Piggy tails and she said "Mom I have to have a headband" I told her that you do NOT wear a headband with piggy tails. So she whines, cries and I decide that she can wear the headband. I totally did NOT get the memo that this is what the girls are doing. Sure enough, all the girls were wearing headbands with pony and pig tails. I have alot to learn about girls. OYE!
Pics below of my sweetheart. My son Juan was bored to tears and found absolute pleasure in watching one little boy constantly dig way up his nose. At least it kept him entertained. However I was fairly certain he was going to reach his brain. He was hard at work! Nooooooo You don't do that kind of thing in church ARGH! Boys!


Her and her friend discussing the boys behavior LOL

TGIF

It's Friday! Friday I am in LOVE With you LOL. I also really like that song!
I already took my shower and putting junk on my hair to flat iron it.
Tonight is Savannahs Bible School program and I am so excited to go and watch her sing!
Plus I get to take some pics.
Anthony made it safely to his destination and is enjoying himself very much!
Savannah slept very late, Juan is still asleep. He stays up, very late playing Toon Town.
Opie and Claire are both sleeping away. Savannah is doing art and all is as it should be.
Johnny and Angie are coming in to stay tomorrow. They invited us to go on the casino boat. I'm mulling it over still. I secretly think he wants to stay here to play my scrabble game, since his is broken.
I am WAY up for a good Scrabble challenge. Melzie, you hear that. Remember our long, LONG days of games.com and the rankings LOL. We used to play for hours upon hours and she is my equal match in scrabble. We had a very good time. Then we moved on to www.isketch.net If you haven't ever played that, you should. Mary O lee you and Bill might like that. It's win, lose or draw on the puter!
Okay, I have rambled on long enough. I guess I'll mop or something useful. I could always do a load of laundry or something too. Or just not do anything, but then in turn would have to find something because not doing anything, isn't everything it's cracked up to be. LOL that's enough things to last me a full day!
Happy Friday, have a wonderful and safe weekend.
Be blessed!

It's Thursday, but feels like a Monday

Or even possibly a Sunday. But other than Big Brother being on, it doesn't feel very Thursdayish. Hmmm.
I got a new keyboard and I can not figure it out.
It's all stiff and I keep making typos. I hope it will loosen up soon.
Slept really well last night.
I kinda have a headache.
Anthony left today on his trip.
I'm waiting up for the phone call that he made it safely.
I know he's old enough to do fine, I still worry alot!
I hope he has a good time.
Called and checked on the Goose, but they didn't really give me any info.
Wonder if the Privacy laws apply to Geese.
Goose vet confidentiality.
Okay, gonna jet and watch for Savannah to get home from bible school.
Hop Hop our frog pond sits right by our door at night and catches bugs.
I never realized how big he is.
I may go feed the fish too.
Have a Happy and blessed Thursday which feels like a Monday.

Wednesday!

I called momma to see if she got and update on the goose. She called the vets and they said they are going to do surgery on the Goose in the morning.

Nothing much went on today. Seemed very long, very drawn out.

Anthony leaves for his trip tomorrow. He is so excited that he went to bed at 8:45 to make tomorrow hurry quicker.

Savannah is still at Bible School. She is so cute and her starting school in a couple of weeks breaks my heart.

When we agreed I would stay home til she went to school, I never ever dreamed it would go by so fast. Time it goes by, truly with a blink of an eye.

The day she goes, I will be crying hysterically I'm sure. My last baby going to school. Anthony turning 16. I suddenly feel so old.

LOL aunt Carol getting ready to be a Grandma, I guess you feel a wee bit older than me LOL :P

Aunt Carol asked me to be the OFFICIAL photographer at Lindsays baby shower. I am so excited and so honored. Can I have a button that says OFFICIAL on it LOL :)
Savannah has already picked out a dress to wear to it!

We'll be sure to take lots of pics to send to Sandy Mae!

Hope everyone has a nice and quiet Wednesday evening.

Be Blessed.

Happy Tuesday!
It's stinking HOT outside!

Not much happening today. Savannah is at Bible School.

I just finished up TT waiting for Big Brother to come on. Got most of my cleaning done over the weekend. I'm semi bored.

Mom called me with a story that made me about cry. They saw a big goose in their yard and it looked hurt. They took some water and stuff out to it and mom said it was drinking up the water really fast.
Their kids came out, the neighbors and their kids came out to find out what was wrong with the goose.

They finally got close enough to him and saw that he had swallowed a bunch of fishing line and was choking on it :(

My mom went inside and called the Humane Society, Nope, no help. Dept of fish and wildlife, Nope, they don't have the funding to help a goose.
This made me very, very sad.
So she decided to call our vets, the ones I posted about when Claire had her surgery who in my opinion are the best ever.
They told my mom to bring the goose in and they would take him/ her and take care of her and that they own a rehabilitation farm til the goose gets well enough to be on its own.
:)
It makes me sad how some people just don't care about these animals. How they think it's just a goose or just this or just that.
Then this fabulous group of people, who operate in a tiny building off of a busy highway, care about the goose.

Indeed, a truly amazing group of people.

So my stepdad took the goose there and they didn't charge him a penny.

My mom is going to call and check on the goose tomorrow.

And all those kids, gathered around, caring about the goose :)

You hear about all the bad in the world, but so often, the small stuff, the good stuff is overlooked.

I'll update you on the goose

Happy Tuesday.

WOO HOO on edit, it let me add a TITLE

I couldn't be any happier than if........... You insert your own words there.
But WOO HOO it worked, it worked!!!

It is driving me insane that I can not add titles to my posts. Any of you blogger experts out there HELP!!
2 posts in one day. Maybe I had better check outside to make sure the sky isn't falling.
I'm kinda bored this evening. Kyles computing next to me. Savannah's um, playing with a thing a majig that she made at bible school tonight. Juan is Wiiing. Anthony is up in his room sleeping I do believe.
Our cousin is taking Anthony, Thursday away to Gatlinburg for his 16th birthday trip. He is looking so forward to it. I have to give him a haircut tomorrow and give bubby one too. It's about that time. Dad is due, Kyle is due. Hair cut rounds. It's July and I HAVE and I do stress HAVE to make myself sit in that 6 hr continuing education class.
I do not like those, unless of course they let me be a model and I get my hair and everything done and at those things, it's usually cool stuff they do.


It's hot outside. I was out at our pond tonight and I fed all the fish. I couldn't find raccoon boy. The fish that the raccoon ate his tail all the way off. I posted about it last year. Anywhoo, I think his tail has grown back and that's why I didn't see him. He may be like all the other fish now!! WOO HOO :o) That's plum exciting in these parts!!

I Toon Town with alot of people and they got me all hooked up on Yahoo, it's kinda cool and today I hear my computer ringing and Anita messages me and tells me to accept. Of course I couldn't chat because I have no microphone, but she was talking to me and I was typing to her. It was sooooooo cool and she has the neatest lil accent. So tonight my hubby got me a microphone and I'm going to give it a whirl. Can't promise I'll stick with it, but gonna try it out!

I am not very chat savvy, so we shall see. They will dub me uncouth! LOL

Computers are so nifty in a far out kinda way!!

Okay, I guess I had better think about going in our cave to get some sleep.
We have a leak and we can't figure out where it's coming from. Waters everywhere. We pulled up the carpet, dried it out and it quit. Now it's back again.
Hmmmmmmm my hypothesis is........... I don't have one LOL
Could be anything.
Dad came over and looked at it, thought it was the air, but it's the middle of the floor. Not even that close to the central air unit.
This sounds like a job for Shaggy and Scooby
Rut Roh
Happy Monday Night!
Melzie Welzie, I love, love, Love you and I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

It still won't let me access titles. GRRR
Anyways. It's very funny how you can be driving along one minute and then the next a song comes on the radio and everything that was good about the day just turns to sadness. Kyle had driven my car all weekend and had put it on some old rock station. I was leaving moms, hit the freeway and UGH

Ignore the video, but the song is the song Brett picked for me, before he died. He said he wanted to play it at his funeral, to make me cry.
Like I needed any help in that department on that day. But I just started bawling and bawling while driving the freeway.
Kyle gets his feelings hurt whenever I bring Brett up. I keep it all bottled in and I know it's been a long time. But it's hard for me to hold it in. He's not like a boyfriend who I broke up with and we went our separate ways. We were engaged, had a child and there were no bad terms.
So, I feel guilt over hurting Kyles feelings but also still miss Brett sometimes horribly. I can't remember his voice anymore, or anything. The only thing I remember is the cancer and the chemo.
Holy Crap it all makes me sad. It's almost the anniversary and every year around this time, I get upset. Still the piece of paper haunts me. I just want to know what he wanted me to know right before he died.
I'll never know.
One piece of paper. I'll never forget.
Sigh.
All of his handwritten notes were lost when the house burned down. Then that piece of paper he was trying to write on before he died, Sherry threw it away. I wanted the paper. I have nothing left of him anymore. The funeral pillow and all his stuff was in that closet that was my room. Someone got it out when they went back to the house, but it was severely damaged with smoke and water. The notes were completely ruined. Pictures were ruined.
Stinking radio. I'm changing it back to my regular station.

Happy Monday.

Hmmm it won't let me post a title. Hmmmmmm
It's Sunday.
Haven't updated in awhile. Big brother started. Watched that.
Cleaning up. You can probably look back to the exact day of last year and I'm still doing the same old, same old.
I have absolutely nothing to say LOL
Isn't that odd.
Let me think of something really quick.
I gotta pee LOL
Ummmmmm It's Christmas in July time and I haven't watched any Christmas stuff yet.
Bird boy hasn't killed anything in a couple few weeks.
Have a happy week!!

Simply Amazing Performance

Tuesday!

It's Tuesday. In case you didn't know, In case you didn't grab that from the title. It's Tuesday!!
I have a headache from my cold. Owoooooooooooooooooooooooo
Nothing at all happened today. Was bored. Stormed alot.
Going to take kids swimming tomorrow if it doesn't storm. It's feast or famine here with the rain. Either you have alot or you have none. We needed it, but we got plenty and it can leave anytime it wants.
No good dreams. Just regular. No fun dump trips or anything last night.
Happy Tuesday.

Hey there, Hi there, How do you do?

I had a really exciting dream last night. LOL I was really, really excited. Wanna know what happened?????

My dad took Kyle and I to the big Dump on outer Loop and I was soooooo excited, because we were finally getting to see what was over the top of the hill. We were all lined up and I could barely contain myself looking out to see any hint of poopy diapers and what nots.

Then Kyle woke me up. Anyone else ever wonder what's over that hill? What all the trash looks like all piled up?? I was about to see it, til he woke me up. Dang Nabbit.

I have a summer cold or severe allergies. Either or. Either way I don't feel well today.
Sneezing and Sneezing. Coughing. Itching eyes, sore throat.

It might be from being in that garbage dump last night LOL

Okay, trying to be a good girl and update more frequently.

Happy Monday!

Feeling HOT HOT HOT

So update on the air saga. We called yesterday they charge 115 bucks to come out and then 25 for each 15 min on sunday. We decide to tough it out til today. Went out and bought the crappiest window unit ever. When I say Crap, it was like taking 90 dollars and flushing it down the commode. Around 6 oclock we had a show on called Man Vs Elements or something like that. He was in the desert and trying to find ways to survive. Watching that i think made it harder. He then takes off his tshirt, Urinates on it and wraps it around his head. As hot as we are this isn't looking like such a bad idea LOL!
Anywhoo, it gets scorching. Our living room never cooled past 87. We went driving for a bit to cool off. Poor Claire was miserable.
My dad came over for a bit to see if he could tinker with it. Nope, nothing worked. It's broke.
So today at half the price, the Bryan man is coming and He will be welcomed with open arms. If I had a red carpet, I would roll it out and sprinkle it with rose petals for his arriving!
I would have my boys on each side playing a bugle as he waltzes up my walkway and have ushers to take him to the broken unit.
I must be having brain spasms from heat LOL
Okay have a great day. If my air gets fixed, I will be having a marvelous day!
Kyle and I are starting to feel a lil sick from HOT
Rough night for sleeping.
Love to all Happy Monday, send coolness our way!

With summer comes Bird Boy return

I am so depressed, I have the yard of death. I don't like living here. I can't feed the birds but yet she can have her yard highly decorated with bird feeders.
I have found a couple of dead yellow finches a dead robin and a few other things.
The other day the bird boy was in our yard talking to Juan and just under my tree he showed my son and his friends a rabbits nest IN MY YARD and he took a stick and dug out a bunch of dead baby bunnies. They are notorious for poisioning chipmunks and I have no doubts, since he knew exactly where they were, that he killed all 6 baby bunnies. He dug them out, put them in a coffee can and wanted to keep them. Sicko.

Well for the past couple of days, Claire doesn't want to go outside. We try to get her out, she won't go. When she does she goes to their side of the yard and then runs and hides behind the shed.
I let Savannah swim today and we coaxed her out, the grandma and the boy came out and she mad dashed to the shed to hide.
She has a big welt on her side that looks like a bb couldve pegged her. It's scabbing over and is swollen. So I dont know if he shot her and it's stuck in there. We don't know. Gonna watch it for a couple more days and see. She has a few other cuts and stuff on her. She's an indoor dog and how she would get cuts like that is beyond me.
I could almost cry because not only can I not feed my birds, I can't let me dogs out to enjoy my yard. Buying this house was the biggest mistake we have ever made and now we are stuck.
I feel like a prisoner in my own home.
If I catch them hurting my dog, all hell will break loose.
