July 24 FridayStill alive.
Very emotional.
Trying to file for unemployment.
Hubby is not being understanding anymore. Actually he's not speaking to me.
Tomorrow is the grad party for my brothers. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
I'm proud of them and all but do you really need to invite 300+ people over to say congrats?
I've got mom's apartment almost done. She's not really done much. My nephew and I have done most of it. The rest of the family just dropped boxes and left. No help what so ever. They must've forgotten that she had been in the hospital a short time ago. However I've had so much fun with my 18 yr old nephew that I am not complaining. Yesterday my face hurt from laughing so much.
I'm trying to figure out where I'm going from here. Tee hee... a grin comes across my face because any time we asked that in front of one of my grandparents they would always respond with.... To hell if you dont change your ways..................... So I better change em!! tee hee!
meeting up with some friends that are in town from AZ tonight. Hopefully that will make me laugh.
I'm sure things will work out. I'm trying to be patient. Hubby needs to realize some things soon. He doesn't even comprehend how he is I don't think. Oh if I could just record him talking sometimes....
Oh well what cha gonna do? For me I'm gonna get off this computer, go grab some beer, visit with some old friends. Then I will go home get on my knees and pray. And tomorrow I will smile all the day long.
have a good one all. Like I said, please know I'll try and get to see you soon. I appreciate all that you have said and done for me. xoxoxoxoxoxoxxooxoxoxoxoxo
July 21 Michigan's unemployment ratehello!
I'm not sure if you heard the latest numbers but Michigan's unemployment rate is at 15% and now that I am unemployed it only increases. That's right I lost my job yesterday. OH BOY!
But what are ya gonna do? Maybe this is exactly the way it's supposed to be since I've had some major struggles at work in the past year and I've been praying to God that He will guide me and tell me what I'm supposed to do. Well I guess he figured it out for me. So that's the way it is.
It's spooky and exhilarating all at once. I'm excited to see my next adventure, but sad that the previous one has ended. And with the unemployment rate as high as it is where in the world am I going to find a job. That's spooky! I'm glad that I've been smart with my money kinda feeling this was coming and had set up a savings account just for this reason. So that should help out for a few weeks any who.
Hubby took the news well actually. I was terrified to call him and tell him. So I waited until he got home from work. But he already knew!??!?!? He called my work and boss told him.... She doesn't work here anymore. Hmmmm...
Oh well so that's where I'm at. I'm not sure what I'm feeling, but I'm sure it will all work out in the end. I can't be down because that's only going to keep me still. And right now that's not what I need at all.
I'll have very limited computer access so please be patient with me, I may not be by here for a while and I have no clue when I'll make it by your place.
So have a great day go on and enjoy it to the fullest. I plan on doing just that. Take care all. xoxox Shelly July 16 Thanks old lady!Tee hee ha ha
This is funny, so please feel free to laugh with me.
Last night I saw this lil boy pushing a pink bike. He was about 5 or 6 years old. I walked out and asked if I could help him. I think I startled him as He practically threw the bike at me. I was thinking O.k. I'm a stranger to him so this was o.k. and the good thing to do. So while I'm fixing the chain on the bike the rest of his siblings come around and are watching and asking what I was doing. So I told them got it fixed and they said thank you and rode away. Well today at lunch two of this kids stop by my house out front and this is what the conversation went like (LADIES BE SURE TO EMPTY YOUR BLADDERS BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER):
Boy 6 yrs old: HI (acting all shy)
boy 7 years old: Hi shelly (I told them my name so that I'm not a stranger danger)
Me: Hello boys hows the bike working today?
Boy 6: It broke again and mom said Dad will fix it.
Me: Oh that stinks! I hope he can fix it so it wont break on you anymore.
Boy 7: Yea we told her that the OLD LADY from down the road fixed it for us so she should be able to.
Me: You told her that?
Boy 6: Yea he did.
ME: what did mom say?
Boy 7: To make sure we told the old lady thank you.
Me: Well tell mom the old lady said your welcome.
So yep I'm the OLD LADY of the neighborhood. tee hee ha ha
Flippin funny! Mind you I am actually the youngest of all of the women from my home to theirs which is about 8 houses away. Tee hee..... Well gotta run the senior center is running a special on fiber today!!
tee hee ha a
Crash/explosion  I'm not sure if you are familiar with I-75 or not. It's a freeway that runs from Michigan all the way down to Florida. Well last night there was a tanker truck carrying gas and diesel fuel and another semi that collided and the tanker truck exploded and took an bridge out plus damaged the road so badly. Obviously the fire burned hot hot hot and the smoke could be seen from 10+ miles away. One of my bosses has a daughter that lives 1 block from the crash site. She said she heard the crash, felt the explosion and within moments could feel the heat and was choking on the fumes. She quickly got her young son and dog into the car and left the area for the night.
The most amazing thing is that both truck drivers survived this crash. I've not heard all the details yet this morning but I did see film last night and this morning showing the site and the fact that anyone survived is AMAZING!
I'll put a link if you want to read it. It will be a long time before this stretch of the freeway is open again. And there is no easy way to avoid the area a detour I hear is up and it takes you at least 20 minutes to go through. That is not going to go away anytime soon either.
So glad that as far as I know that no one was killed.

It was a wonderful weekend. AMEN!!! Hubby was being crabby so me and mom left him at home and just went north ourselves. We stopped for some yummy flavorful good for you Pizza at Unos and man was it good! We made it up to the cabin in daylight and that's always good because of the deer and wildlife.
Took a bit for her and I both to start to unwind from the week we had but by bedtime we were there!
Saw what we think was the intl space station flying across the sky (very large bright light moving extremely fast) on Friday evening and we both took it as a sign to stop look and listen and relax!!
It was a weekend that we both needed and when I got the call from Hubby on Saturday night that he was sorry and missed me well that was just icing on the cake!
Sunday a neighbor up north decided to burn his garbage (yuck) and left for home (downstate) after he started it burning and we had 40 mph winds. Hmmm not too smart and yes it started a grass fire that went under his house and the fire dept just destroyed his house making sure there were no fires. Stupid head! I'm glad that it was caught because with those winds it was getting close to my place and the dog that I take care of when I'm up there.
Found out when I got home that someone I know threw away 30 years of marriage for a skanky hoe! UGH! When will men think with their big brains? UGH! Just sad. Do I call her and say, sorry? I'm not sure I'm supposed to know. I'm just going to pray for her for now and let the dust settle a bit and then call her and feel it out I guess.
So I'm refreshed, recharged and ready to take on the world!
tee hee..... Just talked to baby brother and he is on top of the world he was shadowing a heart surgeon today and got to be in on 2 surgeries and do rounds with the doc. He was over the moon I tell ya. Tee hee !! So cool for him!
I gave the brother hell the other day for not inviting me to his party. He said it wasn't a party we just had some friends over and I said O.k. can we be friends then? teee hee... he apologized.
So I'm doing good almost excellent for a Monday. hungry and waiting patiently for lunch time.
Hope you are having a great day with me!!!

July 09 You friends rock!You are so awesome! When I'm down you always pick me up.
Today is a new day. That is my motto for today.... Good thoughts in bad thoughts out.
I can not control other people and the things they do. I will not let what they choose to do or not to do affect me today.
Mom's gonna get out of the hospital today, just waiting for the call for me to go and get her.
I'm going to the demo derby tonight, I called and left messages for the brothers telling them I will be going and if they'd like to join me to do so. Trying to decide whether or not to take lil man. I know he will love it for sure but I'm so angry at his mom right now, I just don't know.
Told hubby last night I'm done fighting and being in a hostile house. I'm starting new and I hope you can too... And then I showered him in kisses. tee hee I'm not sure he dug that part too much. tee hee ha ha
But he was a wee better this morning.
So I'm trying to stay on the sunny side. Your comments yesterday/today are so great. I thank you!
For it is you that made me smile today.
So remember if it's outta your control, do not fret just Step back and take a look and head in the direction of controlling yourself.
Thanks again all! You've made my day yet again. Where would I be without you? I'm not even gonna think about that!
xoxoxooxoxoxoxox
XXOXOXOXOXOXOO
luv to you from me and hugs too!
July 08 What did I do now?this is a venting post. If you are in a happy go lucky mood please proceed to another blog immediately.
UGH!
Mom's still in the hospital. Her Dr. said she should be able to go home tomorrow. Which means to my home. Not that I don't want her there, believe me. I would rather have her with me so I know whats going on with her.
HOWEVER... I do not understand why this is all my problem. My mom has three daughters I am the baby of my mothers children. One sister (lil mans mom) is being so selfish right now it's about gotten me to flip my lid. Seriously if your mother is in the hospital... can you please answer your phone?!?!? And if you are unable to could you please have the decency to call me back!?!? UGH!
And then when you do take the time to call me back 29 hours after my call to you DO NOT ASK ME if I think mom is well enough to watch your kid this weekend!! NO!
My mom's other daughter (psycho) is up to her old ways. Lying. UGH!! She called me all in a panic yesterday. Mom's coughing and passing out and omg.... I told her to call the nurse on duty as I'm at work and am not able to be there. Well all that and more that she told me on the phone ... it was all a lie. GRR!!! I do not have the patience for this right now.
Psycho has been staying at my fathers house while mom has been in the hospital. Saturday (the day Mom was admitted) was such a beautiful day outside and about 5:30pm she calls me drunk telling me that she wouldn't be making it up to the hospital due to her being "tired". But when I see her the next day she is sun burned and can't quit talking about how much fun she had at the lake! UGH! Today Mom called me so upset, I'm grabbing my stuff from my desk ready to hit the door running... I finally find out that Psycho called Mom's doctor and threatened law suits and etc if he released her today because psycho doesn't think she's well enough to go home.
What it really is that she is not allowed at my home and that is where mom's gonna be. But to get the doctor involved.... GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!! So now I have to call him and apologize and hopefully smooth things out.
UGGHH!!
Hubby is being over the moon crabby!!! I'm at my wits end! I can't believe he's being the way he is! It's worse than his normal bitchy self! So stress at work, stress at home and stress at the hospital... Liquid lunch anyone?
Then I find out that an annual thing that I've done with my brothers since they were tots, they did it without me. I am so crushed! And this comes on the tail of finding out that another of my brothers and his wife had the "most amazing" party this past weekend that I found out from reading her page on FB. So what the hell did I do to get shafted like this?!?!? And not once have they called me since my mom has been in the hospital to see how I'm doing. I've got a feeling that psycho has something to do with all of this.
UGH!
So I'm stressed to the MAX, it seems as though at every corner I'm faced with a DRAMA filled situation.
I'm supposed to go up north this weekend with hubby, we've not been there in over a month. Mom found out and told me how excited she is to be going up north with us this weekend.
So I'm thinking of running away from home... anybody want a short, fat, old pollack that can cook and garden???? Cleaning is not my thing sorry.
July 06 The weekend recap with a funny lil man quote.Hello! Well I'm glad to be at work this morning. Crazy I know, but it's been a crazy weekend.
Friday Night mom was rushed to ER by ambulance, as she was unable to breathe. Turns out she has pneumonia. I tried talking her into going the to ER with me Friday evening, but she was "FINE" as she says. UGH!
She is doing better, many tests scheduled for today. My one sister is there with her now and I'll go after work tonight to see her. I was with her most of the weekend. It's a GREAT hospital a different one from before but, the cleanest place I've ever been to. And the staff is amazing!! So it's a bit of a comfort. I do think they over medicated her yesterday so I asked them to please call me when they think she needs an anxiety pill. UGH! Our family is a bunch of cry babies. I'm not kidding, we cry at the drop of a hat and sometimes it's hours before we stop. Well they took that as anxiety on mom and doped her up. I wasn't too happy with it. In fact it scared the hell outta me! But we are all communicating and things are getting better. Wahoo!
Saturday Night mom insisted that the family have a family firework night. So we all went out on lil man's boat to watch the fireworks display. He was being such an angel, I thought for sure we had the wrong kid with us. tee hee!! When the sun was setting I told him I was magic and I could make it disappear. He so fell for it! Tee hee!! Then when the fireworks started he had on his ear mufflers...and he's talking so loud so he can be sure we hear him..this is one of his best quotes ever! " HEY!!! HEY!! How does he sleep??? HEY! hey dad!! How does he sleep? Who bug? the moon how does he sleep with how loud these fireworks are?"
We told him the Moon sleeps during the day and loves to watch the fireworks. Of course being on the lake the ducks, swans, geese are not fans of the fireworks and started really flying over us and trying to escape. He said "good thing the moon likes the fireworks because the ducks were telling me they don't like them. "
Lil man called my mom on Sunday and told her to drink ginger ale and it would make her feel better and to call him if she wants ice cream. tee hee!!!
It's little things like that that help us adults get through the stress of a loved one being in a hospital.
O.k. I'll let cha all have at the day! Take care! ttfn
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.
