Where the time went...

Let me see the time went to too many 60 hour work weeks, then when I wasn't doing that, I was busy sleeping too late. Now the time has come short and I have been getting up early, but not doing anything more productive with my time then what I was doing before. Where did my ambition go? That should be the real question.

Not sure

I'm not sure if anyone reads this blog anymore so I haven't been posting a lot.
I am sad that summer is over, it feels like it was such a waste. I hope anyone reading this didn't waste their summer. Happy Fall.

It is that time.....

No, not that time of month! Sick people. It is that time in every parents life to count the number of beers in the fridge. My husband swears there were two and now there is one. I pay no attention because I don't drink it, I drink the harder stuff. I hate to think that one of the kids would have taken it, espeically since the two I think could have done it are 12 and 13. I knew the time would come though. Well, ok I didn't know for sure because I never stole beer from anyone because it tasted nasty. I also know the time may come when my FIL may come up missing cigeretts however, that could be the kids hid them because they don't want him to smoke. LOL He won't think it is funny but, I'll laugh. Anyway, it is possible that one of my daughters friends took it. No matter what though we need to start keeping track of them.

My patient

My patient passed away on Friday morning. I wasn't there but I had been there less than 12 hours before. I was meant to be there that day, I am now sure of it. It was my daughters birthday on thurs. and I had asked them to find somelse so I could be with my kids. No one else could be found to take my spot so I went in all jacked off. I didn't let my patient know or see how upset I was. I held his hand often, he likes to know that a friend is there. I talked to him about going home the next day and how nice it would be to see him at his house and not the hospital. I showed a new nurse to the case what to do and I left, to finally go play with the kids and have cupcakes. Then the next morning he was gone. I was suppose to be there the day before just to say goodbye I think. I am now glad I was and sorry that I was so upset about being there. Next time I have to work when I don't want to I will have to remember that I have a higher purpose for being there, not just to work. It could be someone's last day, who knows.

So tired

My husband has been sick all week. I have been working with a sore throat and I am just plain and simple tired. I am getting loaded with hours which would be ok if I felt better. No more 60 hour weeks for a while though.I just wanted to check in and let anyone who cares know that yes, Virginia there is a Santa Clause. Oh, wait wrong line I'm alive. That is how the sentence should have ended.

The good and sad

My youngest girls held a lemonade stand the other day and raised money for a local animal shelter. They made $4.00, so mom kicked in some money and we went to buy some dog, cat and puppy food, plus litter. Then today we went to one of the animal shelters to donate the stuff. Ofcoarse, we had to visit the animals. While we were there my youngest cried, " I want them to all to go to a home." she cried. I reassured her that each one would find a nice home but, in the meantime they would enjoy the stuff that we brought. She says that her and her sister are going to hold another lemonade stand and do this again. It was hard for me to be there too. I always want to take home two or three animals. They had a lot of bunnies there today.
Well, my husband and I are going to the Pirates V. Yankees game but, first he has to do something for the radio station. Have a good day.

My Poor Bum

My Bum Bum hurts from horse back rideing yesterday. My husband and I took the kids and we had a blast.I think the most fun part was the different attitudes of the different horses. My husband horse had a major attitude. He tried to bite any horse that was next to or in front of him. My horse was the joker, when the horses got a drink of water he splashed everyone! Tiffany's horse was lazy, she was always way in the back. Felicity's horse sped up when he reliezed the barn was in sight. Jordan's horse was laid back and took it all in. We had a blast, they even let us have our horses run. That is a definate do again!!!

To freddie

I hope my brother sees this.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREDDIE!!! Love, sis

Home made chalk

I know you can buy sidewalk chalk at the dollar store, but this is fun and gets your frustrations out.
You need:
7 egg shells (dry)
1teaspoon flour
1table spoon water
paper towl


Crush egg shells the finest you can. Add flour and water. Stir toghether, this should make a paste. Shape, roll up in paper towel. Dry for 2 days. It really works, we tried it!

In my garden

In my garden is where I find peace,
Pulling the weeds, watching things grow.
In my garden I don't know,
what will come up,
what will be eaten.
It is here that I don't try to beat
those bugs that eat what I plant.
Oh, i try in small ways to stop them,
but is it here that small disappointments
float on the breeze.
Yes, I often sneeze,
pulling those weeds.
But when you have found your peace of mind,
it doesn't really matter,
come what may.
As long as those vines stay out!

End of the week

Thank godness it is the end of the week. I just finished a 60 hour work week and am so happy to be home. Last weekend I had to work a 24 hour day...isn't being a nurse fun! I really don't know how many hours I am going to end up with this coming week, but that is ok. Since I have some extra money I am going to take the kids horse back riding on my next day off. I just hope it is a bit cooler, not that I am complaining. Well, i hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far.

He didn't!?

My dog and his dog friend were playing outside the other day. There must of been something intersting on the ground because the "dog friend" stopped to have a look. At that same moment, in that same spot my dog lifted his leg and took a pee, right on his friend's head!! My mouth just hung open, I didn't know what to say or do. The other dog didn't seem to care, they went right back to playing. All the other owner and I could do was laugh. If it didn't bother them I guess ot shouldn't bother us, however the other owner did have to wash the other dog's head.


Keep tuning in to www.1007.com everyday there is something new!

See My Husband

If you would like to see my husband or the other intern at 100.7 Star ( radio station ) have to do dumb dares, then go to www.1007.com click on the morning show and then click on Dumb dares. My husbands first dare was on 5/20. This is video of them doing the dumb dares. Have fun watching them as they are haveing fun making themselves look goofy!

Mom needs quiet

I need some quiet time, away from the animals and the kids. Nobody wants to listen, not even the dog. Everyone wants to bicker about everything, even the dog and cat. I would have liked to go out side and watch the baby bird hop around and try to fly. I would have liked to weed my garden now that it finally stopped raining. I tried to sew the blanket I am making for my brother's new baby, couldn't do that either. Thank goodness it isn't that long until bed. Then I am going to curl up in bed and watch tv. Tomarrow will be another long day but it will be semi-peaceful. May peace find you.

Wet Weather

We have had some cooler, wet weather recently and it sucks! I was able to get my garden planted on the one afternoon that it was not raining, it did rain that night though. The only thing that is not in the ground are my tomato plants. I had to go to 3 different stores just to find some. Finally I found some and was going to plant them today but guess what the weather is like. Yep, cool and rainy. I hope all this rain is good for my plants. No flooding yet. My rose bush is doing ok. Well, it really hasn't done anything, not grown or died, it is just kind of there. I guess we will know in about 2 weeks if my garden will be coming up. Hope your weather is better then mine.

No movie night for Mom

So last night my 8year old wants to spend the night at her friends house and my 13 yo. wants to spend the night at her friends house. This is also the weekend that my son goes to J.O's house and we don't have my step-son. That leaves our 6 yo. here with us, crying. I tell her that we were going to have a nice mom, dad and JJ movie night with popcorn. This is GREAT, she loves the idea. In the middle of our movie and popcorn the phone rings, its our 8 yo. I hear from my husband " What's the matter?, What?" then, " she wants to talk to you".
" Mom I smashed my finger in the garage door and it hurts really bad. Jen's mom thinks it's broken." I say " ok be right there"
I drive up in my pj's and Fuzz (my 8yo) is sitting on the porch and I can hear her crying as soon as I turn off the engine. We go inside. The mom says Jen is hideing and crying because she thinks it is all her fault. My daughter pipes up and says " it was my fault for not paying attention". I tell her it is no ones fault it was just an accident. I look at the very white,pretty flat middle finger. I can tell that the nail will be black in the moring and her first knuckle is probley broken. No point in taking her to the hosp. because what they will do for her there I can do just as well and quicker at home. Before we leave her friend comes out of hideing, I thank her for being such a big help to my fuzz and say that if she is feeling better they can play the next day.
I get home, clean up the dirt on it, get two popsickle sticks ( thank you son for bringing home a box of them), medical tape, tape the sticks to the top and bottom of her finger so it can't move, give 3 advil and now I am tired. Never did finish movie night.

Wheels out, Legs in

The price of gas is getting out of control! It is about $3.55 here. Pretty soon I am going to have to do grocery shopping on the way home from work and then park it. We may have to cancel some things that we had planned to do in May and June and save the gas for work only! Maybe we should buy a horse, I think it would be cheaper. The Amish are probley laughing at us because they will be going more palces than us "English". Maybe I'll buy a horse and buggy off them and build a stable where my garden is and then instead of mowing the lawn the horse can eat my grass. That just may work! LOL! The good thing is that the more I walk and ride my bike the thinner I will be. Did you know that for every hour of exercise you will gain 2 hours of life. Talk about a good return on your investment!! Happy Spring!

DONE DONE DONE

My kitchen is done! It looks good. My husband says why don't you paint this ( in the kitchen ), I told him to be my guest. When it comes to paint I don't want anything to do with it for a while. I am going to be working a lot so I won't have time to blog.
My husband statrs his internship in two weeks! He is at the top of his class so he should get a good internship.
My oldest daughter has just turned 13! God save us all!
I must go my six year old is crying because she has nothing to do. I have plenty for her!!

No Title

Every muscle in my body hurts, even the entire bottom of my feet. I think I have a touch of the flu. I have felt like this for 3 days and the only thing that makes it better is Advil.
Since I am unwell we did not go try out for Deal or No Deal. My husband did obtain, through school, a free ticket to tonights Pirates vs. Reds game tonight. He is sitting in the FSN ( Fox Sports Net work) box!! I think that is so cool! I am so proud of him taking the chance and going to school. He is really opening up major doors for himself!!

Finds

I found some interesting things this weekend. One of those things was an under ground bumblebee nest in my garden. The good thing was that they were still dormint so they didn't fight back when I beat them. Then I poured boinling water over the area that I had found them. I hopeing that that will take care of them.
At the thrift store I found a doll that had a few scuff marks on her, other than that she was in perfect condition. I brought her home cleaned her up and added her to my collection. I love thrift stores.
I also seen an ad on tv that Deal or No Deal is coming to Pittsburgh for audtions and I am making my husband try out. I am excited!!! You may see us on tv in a few months.I'll let you know!!

A fishy named Felicity

I am so proud of my 8 yr. old daughter, her name is Felicity. She has found her sport, swimming. Last year when she took swim lessons she was moved up a group in the middle of the lessons. This year she has been moved up two groups in two days, which now puts her in the top group. Since she is doing so well, if she would like, I will put her on the swim team next year. She had wanted to join this past year but I din't think she was ready. Now I am excited for her because I know she will have fun. Her brother will be joining the jr. high team next year, which he will enjoy better because he won't have to give up an entire Sat. for the events. Now I have two fishies in the family!
P.S My youngest wants to be a REAL mermaid.

Emergency chicken

In Case Of Emergency, Break Glass.

Complaining

I just needed a place to bitch for a minute. I had called a friend so I could bitch to her, she is always bitching to me, but as always she is busy ( like I 'm not).
First it started when we paid our township taxes in full. They charged us $40 becuase we didn't pay this year quarterly, we just gave it all at once. Yes, folks we were penilized for paying the town early!!
Next I am one week late with payment on my dishnetwork and they shut off everything but the shopping channels. WTF do I want those for? I can't win!!
I am sure that in the next week or two the lady I work with will be in the hospital and that means I get to go there to sit. Quick someone give me a book to read!!

I've been tagged

Yes, I would rather do this than paint my kitchen! 4 1/2 cubboards left.
I've never been tagged before so I really am not sure what I am doing. Big surpise there, do I ever know what I am doing?
Ok here goes. Six words that describe my self.
1. Busy
2. creative
3. Sorceress ( see itisi blog to find out about that )
4. Fun
5. Busy
6. busy

ok, for those that I tag see fizzys website to get the rules.

Remoldeling the Kitchen

I started last month painting my kitchen, I am still at it. I am getting closer to the finish, but still have some painting left. One thing that I painted I accidently painted upside down, so I have to do it over. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I started this because I had left over paint and it was not going to cost me anything. Well, I ran out of that paint so, it cost me a gallon of paint. Still not a bad deal for a good size kitchen. It is the time that it is taking that is killing me. I may or may not have it done by April. I do work 3 long days a week , atleast that seems like a good excuse as to why it is taking so long.


HAPPY EASTER!!!

Entertain me

Often I think about what I'd like to post about and then I sit down to post and poof my head is empty.

I haven't talked to my good friend in weeks.I mean I have called her and we spoke briefly but, not our usal. We have both been so very busy. Things don't look like they will be letting up any time soon either. My husband has his first day of school in the morning!! I am just as excited as he is! He goes 4 days a week from 9-1.
I went to NY State this weekend to see my family. I had a nice time, just me, my girls and the dog. I always bring my dog even if there will be someone at my house to take care of him. Eddie really enjoys going to play with the other dogs and he has a lot of room to run at my grandma's house. Going up there always make me feel strange because they are so much further behind Pitt. in tech. I am always glad to return back here where businesses and such are up to date. However, I am ready to move. I want a new adventure. Another words, I'm bored!! Atleast I had people to entertain me in NY, only because I don't live there though. Entertain me someone!!

A Must Read

I Have read thousands of books and there are few that really move me. I mean not just do I crawl into the book or can't put it down. But, I in a way, become that character. My Enemy's Cradle is one of those rare books. It is by Sara Young and it feels so real that you feel like you are in Holland in the 1940's. A young blond girl who is half Jewish and half Dutch. You want to yell at her for being naive, but then you remember that it is 2008 and the only reason you know the truth is because the war has long since been over. You feel the hunger that everyone felt, when there wasn't enough food to go around. You feel your heart pound everytime hers does.
I feel a releif knowing that my grandparents lived in the United States during this time and although there were hardships here, they were nothing comapred to Europe. Sure we rationed here, still it was nothing like the fear and hunger felt by thousands of people across the ocean. You just have to read the book...

Good wife or Fool?

Some would say that I am a fool, others would say that I am a good wife, I say I am a good wife.
A year ago this month I told my husband to go ahead and trade in his perfectly good car, that had been paid off, and buy his dream car, a Mustange. I just wanted him to be happy.
This month, this year, his supervisors are really giving him a hard time at a job that he only trained for a week on, they expect him to be an expert. He asked for more training and didn't get an answer. Out of the blue one day a Broadcasting School calls him to see if he was still interested in them , classes were starting soon. ( he had gotten some info about it months ago. )
I told him that if he wasn't happy with what he was doing now, then go ahead and leave your good paying job, with good health insurance and follow your dream to be in broadcasting. The school is only 4 months long and I can get health insurance through my job. Between my job and my child support I think we can make it for 4 months. It will be tight but hey, I have been in tighter. I want my husband to be happy. Going to school will also give him the oppertunity to try out for some differnt bands that play at local clubs, another thing he has always wanted to do. That is why I bought him a drum set, after all. So call me a fool, call me a dreamer, but I think everyone should enjoy what they do. It does make the world a nicer place to live in when you are happy. " You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one..."

Believeit or Not

My husband has to take pictures everynight at work of freight that he inspects. Work gave him a digital camera to do this with. While takeing a picture the other night he caught something on camera that wasn't visable before he took it. Could it be a ghost? It is really hard to tell. This is the first time it has happened to him and he takes these kinds of pics. 5 days a week, in the same general area.

Still painting and more

I have a headache from painting, the last 3 days. I wanted to be done by this weekend, HA that will be a miracle. I did enlist my youngest daughters to take the hardware off the cubboards. They thought it was cool because they learned how to use a screwdriver. Then I let them put down a base coat of paint on a few items. They were thrilled but soon got bored and left me. ait was fine that they went and played because then I could paint the hardware that they took off and touch up the base coat. I even got 2 more cubboards ready to hang!! So I felt that I was very productive.
My oldest daughter had court this afternoon for the fight she was in last month. The judge gave them both 100 hours of community service. I thought my daughter would get less because the judge asked us parents if the girls had been punished at home. My daughter had been grounded for one month and the other girl wasn't punished at home. Still, they both got the same punishment from the judge. What was the point in her asking us then? They have 90 days to complete the community service. Tomarrow I will call the local nursing homes and see if my daughter can do her service there. I hope this is a lesson to all my childeren to keep their fights out of school.

Where to start...?

There is so much going on right now, I don't know where to begin. Lets start with my kitchen. I got tired of looking at my gross brown cuboards. I don't know if they are papered or what the heck is on them but they are gross. So I started painting them white with the left over paint we had. Then I got a great idea from Design on a Dime and bought a stencil and stated to stencil. There was too much white in the kitchen for my husband, so he wanted it to be sponged red. Ofcoarse then it has to be sealed so we can wipe them down. This makeover is turning into a huge deal!! I have six cuboards drying right now and can hopefully put them up tonight. Then there is my friend that had her daughter put in the mental ward today to have her evaulated because the girl threw my friend around, and this isn't the first time. To me this doesn't make a lot of sense. She will have her daughter 302ed but keeps hopes alive that the judge won't put her husband in jail for almost killing her. I feel for the women she goes through so much but, why not keep the husband far away also???It is not my place, I know but I am the one who lends the ear and shoulder when this stuff happens. Where is Dr. Phil?

More wolves

For anyone that hasn't read itisi posts, here is a little catch up. She had blogged about dreaming about wolves. I had told her that I had been signing petitions to help save the wolves. Then last night I dreamt about tons of wolves, along with a bear and its cub. This morning I realiezed that last night hadn't been the first time this month that I dreamt of wovles. In fact I have been dreaming of wild animals on a regular basis, from mt. lions to bears to wolves. Sometimes they are all in the same dream. In one dream my pscho x-babysitter showed up at my grandma's house. Yikes!
Anyway, in my dreams my dog chases away the mt. lions, but the wolves are roaming my grandma's yard. We stay away from them and when they get too close we go in the house ( dog too). The bear cub, the kids in the dream always want to play with, but I won't let them get close because Mommy bear isn't too far behind. Sure would like to know if all this means anything or if it is just something my weird mind thought up. Maybe I'm suppose to go to my grandma's house to be protected, but from what? I don't know. Maybe it isn't even really about me. Who knows.

Shiny things

I work in this place where the walls are shiny in almost every room. Even the ceiling in one of the bathrooms looks like someone outlined it in glitter. It is the shinest place I have ever worked at. There is a giant Dalmation that lives there, but he thinks he is a lap dog. When I come home at night my dog has a sniffing fest with my pants. Jealous!!!
I got really lost going to a different place to work the other morning. It was dark and the wind and snow were blowing me all over the road, it was scary. By the time I made it back home I had been on the road for 3 hours!! Needless to say I never made it there!!
Will now has the flu. I had LB call the dr. to see if he should be seen because he did just have surgery and now he is throwing up. She got a hold of a forgien MD that basically didn't know. Well, we could have told HIM that!! Dumb Ass!


PS You may want to read a book called Speak. It really hit home.

Jumping beans

My nerves are soo jumpy today. There seems like so much to do, but there isn't. My brain is racing a 110 miles a min. Am I this jumpy because I work the rest of the week? Maybe it is that Will is having his surgery today. That would make anyone jumpy. I don't know. Must take a shower and get the day going before I go bannanas. How exactly do you go bananans(?) any way?? If I don't shower I will find out. Bye Bye

All alone

I really don't like the schedule my husband is working. I feel so alone. I am finally back to work during the day and am feeling more lonely than ever. My son is happy because daddy is home when he gets home. He really missed seeing him everyday. I will only be able to see my husband a few days a week because I will be working 12 hour shifts.
I have one friend in this big city, I keep telling my self that is all I have time for. Well, that is the truth, no one who has less than 3 kids understand what it is like to walk in my shoes. Some days the chaos makes you want to scream until your voice is gone. Then their is other days where they get along so well you wonder why everyone doesn't have this many. I tell people that it is always a party! When it comes to the holidays and birthdays we have enough people that we don't need to invite anyone. I try to let them ask one special friend over though.
Am I just babbling on and on? Can you tell I am lonely? I am babysitting, which is even easier than what I do when I am at work. Ok I'll stop. TTFN

The Saga Cont.

I thought you may want to follow the soap opera that I have been a part of ( ie: real life ).



So yesterday my friend and I took her oldest daughter JB to drug rehab. She is 16 1/2 and is starting to tumble out of control. We live in the lovely state of Pa., where the law states that anyone over the age of 14 years old has the right to make his/her own decisions about whether or not they need thearpy, including drug rehab. Also they may fill out their own paper work and put down whom ever they want as a contact person, Boyfriend, friend, whomever. So JB puts down her grandmother, who her mother is not speaking to right now, as a contact person. This means that the thearpist and such can not give her mother any info. My friend spent 8 hours on the phone trying to find out how she could check up on her daughter even though she wasn't on the contact list. Finally, JB's thearpist got her to sign a sheet stating that they could speak to her mother.
You thought that was the end of the drama didn't you?!
The next day the place calls saying that JB is signing herself out of rehab! Good thing this place is ffar away from home because she had no way of getting anywhere. Again, she was conviced to stay awhile. I am just shocked at home much power these kids have or something so serious! We need to write our congressman!!! I also want to know who thought this law was a good idea?

2 families

Sometimes I feel as though I am running 2 families. When my friend is having a crisis at her house ahe calls me and I run over to help her. Meanwhile, my kids start calling me with the usal he did this, she did that. Why does it always happen when my husband is at work? Tomarrow I have to go to the high school and make sure that my daughter can return to school safely.After I am done there I am going with my friend to take her oldest daughter to rehab. I don't mind helping but sometimes it is a little much, but I hate to leave her feeling helpless.
I don't know what to tell her.

Helpless

I haven't had crying spells in a long time. Today anything can make me cry. I haven't heard anything from my friend about how her son is doing, he's in the hospital again. This means that they are real busy and don't really know much yet. I'm worried about him. He is just turning 5 on Sunday.
Then there is the thing with my oldest daughter and the rest of the kids don't want me going back to work because they think that I won't have enough time for them. That right there is enough to make anyone sad.
I hate taking my son over to his "dad's" and it is that time again. Come Monday it brings problems with my son.
I am so lonely after the kids go to bed at night. I took for granted all those nights my husband was home and now that he works nights, I am really lonely. I think I may start on the blanket for my new neice or nephew. I don't know when my brother's girlfriend is due but it will keep my mind off the loneliness and teach me how to use my sewing machine better. That is if I have the energy after I finally get everyone to bed. Hope things are going well for the rest of my blogger budies.

Don't really want to blog

I don't really want to blog about today's happenings but I want to blow off steam. So here goes...

GGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There I feel a little better.
Just a quick question... Why can't parents and teens skip the Jr. High years and everything that goes with it?

Looking up

Things are finally looking up for me. Yesterday, I got a new job. Thank goodness!
I have been making flyers for SuperMom, my new business, and had plenty of offers to do flyers! Even my kids are helping pass them out!
I can't get my business card program to work right, so I give up. When I get some money I'll go have someone else print them.
On a different note... My medical bills are looking high again this year and this year has only started! The federal gov. has placed a new law that all kids K-12 need 3 more shots that they haven't had before. My son needs to see a specialist for his migrains and I go see the cancer doctor at the end of this month, plus I need to get a work physical next week. GEEZ! I forgot, I need to take my oldest back to the doctor for the rash on her wrist. The stuff they gave is not working. I think I got it all. Oh well, I'm lucky that it's not children's that we are always running to. Good thing my husband works nights now so that I don't have to take time out of my new job. Stay Warm!

The fight

My oldest daughter had her first offical fight after school yesterday. The girl wanted to fight her so she told the girl that she wasn't going anywhere and the rest is history. There wasn't an offical winner because our neighbor, who is in high school, broke it up.
I'm not sure how I feel about it, we have always wanted her to stand up for herself and she did. However, I was never in a real fight, either the girls were too afraid of me or I avoided them.
I don't want her to be a weakling but the thought of her fighting doesn't sit well either. I told her not in school unless she is hit first because today the schools call the cops for everything. I don't want her to be labeled as a trouble maker. She has a good head on her, I just hope she keeps it.

You know your a grown up when....

You know your a grown up when...

You understand your parents point of view

You curse snow days

You sleep in, but not because you were out late

You want your match box cars to be real

I think that you truely know your an adult when...
You shower with someone else not to save time or money, but for the fun of it!

Will never understand

There are just some things in life that I will never understand. I try not to judge, but when it just seems far from what most people would do...well...you understand right?

My friend has let her abusive husband back into the house for the 2nd time. The last time he punched two LARGE holes in the wall and probley would have put her back in the hosp. if her mother hadn't of showed up. Their son had gotten really sick recently, so ofcoarse ,he came to the hosp. to stay and now he is back into the house ( the son is ok and out of the hosp. too.). All I can do ,as her friend, is be here when she needs me. I just hate to see her go through the same thing again and again.

The defintion of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

If Everyone Cared

I have an abundance of time on my hands since I have not been working, so I have been giving my best friend my time by watching her kids so she could go to work without worry.
My father-in-law mows our neighbors lawn on the same day he mows ours ( our neighbors are elderly). My mom has given her time to our elderly Aunt when she had come home from the hospital. I have seen many people let somone with less iteams go ahead of them in line.
The other day at the Family Dollar an older women did just that and a lady behind both of them started cussing up a storm. By the time both women were in the parking lot a fist fight insued. WTF!
What is wrong with people like that?

Bud The Brave

My son "Bud" is now a member of the Polar Bear Club!! Yes, on New Years Day he, his friend and his friends family went and jumped in the river!! The water temp. was 38 degrees F and the air temp. was 32 degrees F. He asked me if it was ok if he did this with his friend and family. I said that if he was brave enough then he had my blessing. He was brave enough and they made the noon news. Can't say that it would be something I would consider but hey my son is a brave one!
I'm real proud of his bravery!
