July 01 Goodbye history.Happy Hump Day all!
Hope that your Wednesday is full of sunshine and cool breezes!
Today here it's a bit chilly, when I left the house this morning about 7:45am it was only 58. hmmmm hows the garden growing in this cold? hmmmm
I was pretty sad the other day. I had my office door opened and heard the crunch... big machine noises and more crunching. It was so sad, I had to shut the door so I couldn't hear it anymore. This is what was happening..
Old farm house demolished. So sad we lost such a beautiful piece of history. If you go to read this article, ignore the comments at the bottom, there are some nasty people in this world! (shhhhh... I went there and got some mementos from the "foundation" and a piece of wall paper, and a portion of the porch spindles..I'm a sap! ) Today I'm doing pretty good. Having lunch with a friend of mine, which I'm looking forward to. Maybe if the rain holds off he'll pick me up on the HD. Wahoo!! Not going anywhere this weekend. Just hangin around the house. I do however really really really want to see some fireworks. Hope I can make that happen. I'm going to try and hook up with my lil brothers and hang with them too, but that is about it. UNLESS... mom's apartment gets done being cleaned. Hopefully it will. I would love for her cats to go back to her. We are having issues with them and it's starting to really anger me... I just keep saying to myself... soon it will end... soon... Speaking of Mom she got a great report from the doctor on Monday. WAHOO!! He said the meds are doing their job by slowing her heart rate down. So hopefully the heart rate will get to where he thinks it should be in order for her heart and valve to repair itself. hmmmm Hope that works. In the meantime she's not liking the way the meds make her feel. I told her to hang in there and if she wants to come stay with me for a while if that would make her feel better. She's thinking about it. O.k. guys you may not wanna read this part.... Ladies this will crack you up! Lil man (almost 4 yrs old) was at my house. He called me into the bathroom. I go in there and he shuts the door, from under his shirt he pulls out one of my bras. He says "is this yours?" I said yes. He asks: "what happened to your boobies ?" I asked him what he means. He said "there are no boobies in the bra what happened to them?" (I believe he said this because the other ladies bras that he sees are padded cups and they hold their shape when removed. Mine, need no padding at all and so when you take it off they do not hold their shape.) I told him that I keep my boobies with me at all times and sometimes other girls leave them in the bras. He responded with "oh I like Mommy's boobies better." And he hands my bra back to me and off he goes! tee hee ha ha So that's about it in a nut shell. I hope you all have a great weekend! Take care!! xoxo me PS.....I added some photos of my lil brothers skiing, check em out they are pretty cool.
June 29 This day belongs in the toilet!Well the weekend was certainly eventful!
Friday Night went to Kzoo to have some fun with my brothers before the graduation. It was fun. Some beer was drank, some beer pong was played and I got to see naked college boys. WAhoo... WHO wouldn't like that?!?! tee hee!! The boys decided to go skinny dippin and well they ran right in front of me from the pool to their apartment. Tee hee ha ha It was funny!!
Saturday the graduation was good. I didn't expect for it to hit me the way it did. When he got on to stage it was like he was four again. Odd! He's the baby of all of my siblings and well of course when he graduated from High School it was wow he's a man now... but when he went on stage Saturday in that college auditorium, WOW!
My dad was weepy all day! I kept seeing him wiping the tears. Of course he didn't want us to know he was weepy, so I would just love on him. Needless to say by the end of the day he was exhausted. Baby Bro graduated with a 3.95 gpa! Wahoo!!! Now it's time to find the right Med school for him. YIKES! He wanted to take a year off and pay off some of his student loans but nobody wants to "hire" him. They want him to do an internship which is working for nothing. That's not gonna pay the bills! So he's still looking... Hopefully something will come along.
Today, well it's been not so good. I'm trying to fix our toilet at home. And who would have thought that a flapper thingy would be so freaking hard to find?!??! I went to the plumbing store and took it home and put in on and nope it doesn't work! So back to the store and they told me they don't want to sell me another until I have the numbers from the toilet. O.k. well now that I've wasted my entire lunch hour on said toilet, I've got to try again tomorrow. UGH! So now instead of it draining 1/2 the tank with one flush it's sucking the whole tank down.
So much for saving on the water bill!!
I'm hoping that the rest of the week is better than today for sure.
Mom had a doctors appt today and she insisted that she was "fine" to go by herself. Hoping to hear from her soon.
Have a great day!! XOXOXOXO
June 25 How does your garden grow?Hello!!
Well it's another hot one out there!! WHEW! But this lil girl is not complaining. Nope not at all. I'm very thankful for the A/C working at my job and home.
I went home for lunch today as I always do and was amazed that just since this morning how many flowers have opened up. It's cool! I wish I had the time to just sit and wait and watch them open.
And my veggie garden... WOW!!
I'm excited for the storm we are supposed to get because after mother nature waters for me everything grows like crazy! Isn't that funny?!!? Seriously I water every morning I'm out there in my PJ's @ 5:30am hose in one hand coffee in the other. And yes it helps believe me. (And it's an awesome way for me to start my day.) And I do notice the flowers and gardens growing a bit here and a bit there. But after a rain storm. It's like you can tell my tomatoes grew like 4 inches! crazy I tell ya!
So I remember a few of you showing photos of your gardens earlier.... JoAnn, Beth Marie...(Stephen did you get one in?).. . any body wanna show the progress.... Don't worry bout showing da weeds! Every garden has em! But I do wanna tell ya I've shared this with some of you already. Great product.... Preen. Pull out all the weeds (yes I know it's tough) roots and all scuff the top two + inches of dirt and sprinkle this on and water and no more weeds. Yes it works believe me. The only thing that will come up is the weeds that you did not pull or the ones where the roots weren't removed.
However... the only downside to this stuff is you can not use it and plant seeds. Plants must be approx two inches tall.
I went over to a friends house last night and worked in her flower beds for approx 2+ hours... WOW was it hot! She kept spraying the backs of my legs with the hose to keep me cooled off. And of course I had to wet my head about 4 times from the hose cuz man it was HOT! She tried very hard to talk me out of working out there but I had to it was driving me nuts! tee hee ha ha ! And then it happened.... I got stung... thank goodness I'm not allergic.. but I've had a lot of fun with the whole "swelling thing" seriously fun! I got stung right on my boob! tee hee and since I was extra extra extra blessed in that department I was asking my hubby this morning asking OMG does it look swollen to you?!?? tee hee ha ha ha
O.K. well I look forward to your updates on your gardens!
take care all & enjoy your day and remember this lil girl thinks the world of you!! xoxoxo
June 22 update on mom and observations of mineO.K. well Mom had a doctors appointment this morning. She got good and bad news... the good news is that he doesn't want to do surgery on her. He's going to be changing her medications and seeing what effects that has. The bad news is there is no "quick" fix and she needs to take care of herself and watch the effects these drug changes make on her.
She is an awful patient... let me just tell you. I'm supposed to be caring for her and making sure of this and that and she is hiding stuff from me. I find that out at the doctors office and I'm trying not to get angry really trying... My aunt was there as well and said, your sister called me and wanted to know why you refused to take her to the ER when she needed to go. HUH??? WHAT???? UGH! Not gonna stress over it just happy mom is doing good.
Golf...
I don't know if you watched any of the tournament over the weekend or golf on TV ever but why when the guy hits the ball, why does a moron man yell at the top of his lungs "GET IN THE HOLE!" It drives me crazy!
Teens and Parents....
Why is it that Parents today try to be "friends" with their teens? Seriously... it could really harm them. I heard a mother talking with her teen and laughing on the phone and when she hung up she told her friend, we need to stop over at the teen friends house and check to see if we can tell they had a party and take the beer cans back for them. WHAT?!?!? The teen she is talking about is 15 !!! When did it become o.k. for 15 yr olds to drink??
Stupid... I don't think they will get it either until their teen either dies, gets pregnant, or gets a std. DISGUSTING!
WAKE UP PARENTS!!!
Dogs...
Hubby insists that he doesn't want another dog. I feel like a child that wants to bring one home and will have to hide it. UGH! I'm 38 if I want a dog I should be able to get a dog! I'm not a kid and your for sure ain't my daddy! (tee hee) Easy Shelly!
The lady came by to do the home inspection for the prison dogs. She said we passed with glowing colors! Wahoo! Remember the 3 legged beagle I told ya about? THe lady that came to inspect was her foster mom and she was over the moon to have me ask questions about that little girl. Then all day Sunday while at the brother in laws house hubby asked me to show (on the computer) the dog to several different people...hmmm... what does that mean? WHO KNOWS! tee hee ha ha I did get a chance to show hubby the other little girls photo on the web, the one I mentioned as well... so he's thinkin.
O.K. enough typing, gotta get busy.. I hope you are having a great week! xoxo
June 19 MomMom is resting at my house as I type. Hubby is there with strict instructions that if she wont stay laying down or taking it easy he's to sit on her and call me home.
Yesterday was a long day. Mom went in for a stent. Well once they got in there they noticed only a 30% blockage not bad at all, but saw some other bad stuff too! So they elected not to put the stent in at this time.
Mom's heart is in bad shape from the sounds of the doctor. He told me that she's got a moderate leak (mild moderate and severe are the categories for that) in her valve. Her heart is enlarged and there is severe damage to the heart. Oh and it skips beats. GREAT!!
So we have to go to the doctor on Monday to see what's next. Mom was super disappointed and was terrified yesterday that while she was under they were going to do open heart surgery on her. Took some time to calm her down. Then some more time to wake her up to come home.
Last night she was doing great and then stood up quickly and was howling in pain. FREAKED ME RIGHT OUT! I thought for sure something horrible was happening like they told me to watch for, bleeding inside and etc. OMG I thought I was gonna lose her. We got her layed down with an ice pack and some pressure and she fell asleep. I was like a new mommy. I left a night light on in her room and went there to check on her all through the night.
This morning she said the pain wasn't as bad, just sore and she feels better.
I got out of the shower this morning and she was cleaning. STOP!!!!
Gave her a scolding and hubby some instructions and have others going to check on her too!
So thanks for your thoughts and prayers and please keep them coming we are not out of the woods yet.
I told her last week at the dr.s office nothing with you is simple so please do not think this procedure will be.
Guess I was right.
The hospital we were at was HUGE! Like 2 city blocks huge! but the way they do things made you feel like she was their only patient. Never have I seen that before. It helped.
Well I've got tons of work to catch up on.
Take care xoxoxo
