Adventures in Space!

No I have not been to the moon! I'm talking about MySpace. I created a profile thinking it would be like blogging here...Boy was I wrong! Its just a free on-line hook-up site. I had married men email me! The only good thing was I reconnected with some family members, so it was not all a waste of time. I just deleted my profile and came back here, where the conversation is much more interesting. I hope you can all forgive me!!

Have a super hump day!!

Word for the day!

There is only one road to true human greatness:

through the school of hard knocks.

Albert Einstein

I graduated with honors!

Happy Mothers Day!

Had to share some new pictures with all of you!

Have a great weekend and a Happy Mothers Day!!

OMG!

Please tell me its not true!!! Even though I watched it myself, I still can not believe that Chris is gone from American Idol! Who in their right mind would choose Taylor over Chris. I'm in total shock right now. It is just so freaking unbelievable!

I think I need the day off!!!

She is finally here!

Penny arrived this morning at the airport and had a safe flight. She is just beautiful and has taken to our family well. She even had a little romp in the sprinkler!

I spent the week in Las Vegas on business and am so glad to be home. I took my sister with me and we had a great time. It was her first trip to Vegas and she won $1000 right as we where leaving the hotel for the airport. I was so excited for her. I came home $500 ahead so not a bad trip.

My grandpa is getting stronger and I hope we can have him back at his ranch soon.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Grandpa Update!

Well, as of yesterday my Grandpa walked, with the aid of a walker 75 feet!! He is eating and drinking, and getting stronger. They have stopped giving him morphine and he seems to have come somewhat back to reality. As soon as he is strong enough, we are going to get him back to his ranch so he can be home and happy!

Thanks for all your support!

Have a great and wonderful week!

Just to let you know, I have not dropped off the face of the earth. I'm still alive and kicking.

My family has been taking up much of my time. My Grandfather is now in a rest home and it has broken my heart. He wants to go home, but my evil step-grandmother does not want him there. Its his ranch, he wants to die there. So he has chosen not to eat or drink. He will not keep his IV in, which at this point is the only thing keeping him alive. He will not take his medications. We have done all we can to explain to him that in order to go home he needs to do what the doctor wants, but his mind is going to another place. It kills me to see him suffer so.

Well I'm off to visit my Dad, his headstone is finally in place, and I need to see him.................

Long time no post!

Been sooooo busy!!! Looks like spring has finally sprung! Thank God for that!



Penny is now almost 6 weeks old and almost ready to make the flight out to California! We are so excited to welcome her as a new addition to our family!

Speeking of new additions Below is my oldest son newest addition.

Hope you are all enjoying the great weather!

Have a super week!!! Ot at least whats left of it!

I hope your day is filled with family and friends!!!

I have linked this post from Suzie. I feel it is very important that we do as much as we can to shut these sites down. Yes I believe in free speech, but this is just wrong!!!!

Busy!!

Long time no post!

I have been super busy. My Grandfather had to go to the hospital this weekend. It was scary. He is 91 and starting to be forgetful. He injured his back and was having muscle spasms. He is home and resting. I know he is old and will eventually pass, but I am not ready for that. I'm still missing my Dad real bad.

Yesterday was really sucky! Over the weekend we had our cube at work expanded.....bigger cube & a raise....I'm moving up!!! So yesterday I tried to turn on my computer and I got *gasp* the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH! My hard drive is shot and will need to be replaced. I know..it sucks big time. You do not realize how much we rely on computers until your is gone!

Hope you all have a super Tuesday!!

Guess what??

I'm expecting!!!

A baby you ask?

Hell no......

My fellow bloggers, I would like to introduce you to Penny. Penny is 4 weeks old and currently lives in Oklahoma. She is an English Bulldog and will be totally spoiled in my home.
Check out Blackfork English Bulldogs. You can see Penny and her brothers & sisters.

Have a super weekend!!!

Happy HNT!

Happy HNT!

Life is just that way!

Life is turning back to normal after last weeks small detour. It feels great to just sit and enjoy the evening.

Thanks for all your kind words.

Been gone!!

What's the easiest way to cure your own pain? Have your child call and say he is in pain.

The call came Wednesday about 3pm, as I rushed over there feeling not my pain but fear for my son. I hoped it was just the flu that myself and his brother had both had. But when I say the look on his face I knew it was more than that. So after 2 trips to two different hospitals my son had his appendix removed Thursday night. He is home and resting and I am finally back to work!

I will post more later when I have time.

Have a super Monday and I hope you did not forget to move your clocks ahead 1 hour!!

Why?

Day 3 of my flu, I'm starting to feel better but the illness has caused my FMS to flare big time. I don't often speak of my illness here because I choose to ignore it and it makes it better for me. But while battling a common flu turns into a major fight, I feel the urge to bitch just a little.

Fibromyalgia is a nasty thing to have. There is no cure and no proven treatment that's works 100%. Trust me I have tried them all.

Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is often called the "invisible disease," because outwardly, we may look perfectly healthy. Inside though, we may have intense pain throughout our bodies, we may be constantly fatigued and weak, we may be dizzy, confused, lacking sleep, suffering digestive disorders, and generally living a poor quality of life. There is no known cure for Fibromyalgia, but there are ways to treat the symptoms, to improve that quality of life.
FMS is a type of neurotransmitter disorder, in which the pain-signals that our brains receive are intensified, and our muscles do not get the healing nutrients they need. The current diagnosis is usually made by a Rheumatologist who will find 11, or more, "Tender Points" on your body.

I have had this illness since 1998 and generally deal with it well. I refuse to take pain meds and rely on mediation and basic meds to make it through each day. Somedays are better than others. Today is a bad day, I'd much rather be at work instead of sitting here in pain. Sometimes the pain is so bad I lay awake and cry and wonder why. Why me? No I'm not looking for sympathy. Just venting, and it does feel good to vent!!!

Ok I'm done bitching. Have a super hump day!

EEEWWWW!!!!

I have the flu and it sucks! My whole body hurts and I think I my die soon..........I have not been able to eat since Sunday night. I'm getting lots of rest and drinking fluids and they are finally staying down, so I must be getting better. I sure don't feel better.

Hope you all are having a better week than me!!

When I count my blessings,

I count you twice.

Irish Proverb

Live in the present.
Do the things that need to be done.
Do all the good you can each day.
The future will unfold.



Peace Pilgrim

Have a super weekend!!

Half Nekkid Thursday!

Happy HNT!
