How I wish this week could of lasted....

As my sister stated in her blog, this week has gone by way too fast. A lot of memories have been shared. Tears have been shed. Laughs, until we cried. We have eaten until we almost popped! Told many stories and old jokes! It was a week of emotions. Through all of this, we had quite a bit of drama...if you have been following my sissies "C" blog, you may know of her relationship with her daughter and our middle sister. Well, throw all that in the mix, with us, me and my brother coming up, and LET THE DRAMA BEGIN!! It wasn't much, but it was enough to make my oldest sister Chris, you all know her as "C" go into a tail spin with worry. She wanted this week perfect! She worried the whole time that something would happen almost to the point of sickness. Poor thing. But she has always been that way. Always the mom to all of us, looking out for each of us and making sure we were taken care of. I tried so hard to make peace between the two sisters, and the mom and daughter. And even Dennis tried. Between both of us, I think we did good. We patched it up, at least for the week. I don't know if it will go beyond that, that will be up to them. We have decided that life is way too short to waste it on bickering over small petty little crap. We all came together there and it is much to rare an occasion for us to argue and gripe over NOTHING major. STUPID STUFF!! So let this be a lesson to all you bloggy buddies, take a point from us. There is nothing worth arguing over, NOTHING that is so important that should keep you away from family. Now....put down that coffee, or put aside your computer, and make that call. You know the one, make up with that family member you have not spoken with for the last 10 years. The one that you don't even know WHY you are not on speaking terms with. Life is too short. Be the mature one. If something happened to you or your loved one, God forbid it, one of you would never be able to forgive the other. So please, don't wait. Do it now. While you have the time. Life is precious. Time is flying by, and love, well, tell them you love them. It is not said enough. And this time, say it like you mean it. I love you, Toone. Je t'aime.

FAMILY REUNION 2009

What a wonderful time we are having with our family together! I would never of thought that we would of all have had a chance to be together again. The last time we were together was in 2001. Way too long for a family reunion, especially if one of the siblings is thought to have a terminal disease. Thankfully, that was not the case. Well, we have not gotten ALL the results yet, but for now, we are all together and we are making memories. Pictures will be following. I have yet another party to prepare for. So...off to the store we go...two more days! I don't want to think about it!

PC's, Packing, and Partying!

voila!! my wonderful husband has restored life back into the ole girl!! well he reformatted her. poor thing. we had to do complete by-pass (i had to go through and save everything near and dear, put it on his laptop) then he just completely took everything off and it was just like it came when it was new again. i think. now i have to go and "JO"-ize everything all over again. but it is better than buying a new one. again, i think. well i wanted a new one. i am ready for a MAC. but he wants one too. and until we can both get one, i dont think i am getting one. i am lucky to have this one. it is me lil baby come back to life. bless her little cd rom. so, now the chore of getting her the way she was...but all in due time. meanwhile...i am off to pack...i have a trip coming up, ya know! me and me lil delly jo (my laptop, so lovingly named) are off to NE in a couple of days to see my brother and sissies. a BIG party is a plannin'. it is a surprise, so don't tell. my middle brother and sister, they are twins, are turning 50, don't know i am coming. it will be the 1st time in over 10 years we have all been together. SO...i am so excited...of course "C" my oldest sister and i will be posting pics of the gang, and the extravaganza's, i am sure there will be more than one while we are together. my brother, he is the one we were worried about with the cancer, was cleared of intestinal cancer, but still may have lung cancer. we won't know for another week or so. darn doctors just make you wait. enough to drive you to drink when you are already sick!!

it's dead, morte, no life left to her, buh bye, capoote....

Can we have a prayer and funeral for a computer? She was a good ole girl...she was only 18 months old, just a baby really. She was faithful. Followed me everywhere, did everything I asked, most of the time. Then she got it. It came out of nowhere, I swear I didn't know! The poor thing didn't know she was even infected with it. I guess that is the best way to go. My husband, bless his heart, stayed up the last 3 nights with her, trying to diagnose what was her problem. Some kind of weird virus going around he said. She just gave up, she died early today. So as they do with these things, we just go on. We just have to. She would want it that way. Good ole DELLY JO, she was a trooper.

So...until I get my self back together...it may be a few days...I have hubby's but it won't be the same. I will be back and "restored" in a few days. Thanks for putting up with my antics. Jo

THANK YOU BLOGGY BUDS!

Thank you bloggy buddies for all your concerns and prayers. My brother got good reports on his colonoscopy. NO CANCER!! He still has to hear back on his lung tests, but I feel this is a good sign. He feels good, he is out mowing his yard, and he is going up to see my two sisters in NE. And unbeknownst to the two birthday kids, he and my middle sis, they are turning 50 on the 29th, I am flying out to surprise them. Only my older sister Chris knows. You all know her as "C". She is the glue that keeps us all together when the pieces seems to come apart. When things like this happen, she is like the mom that we all never had. She seems to talk on here like she never had that relationship with "our" mom. She may not have, but she was always like a mom to all of us and was the best one any could ever have. we love her like she is our best friend. we can tell her anything like a friend and she is there no matter what. whenever one of us needed anything, she and dave (the A-hole she speaks of now, but then had a decent heart) never said no and took us in or gave us money, or whatever it was we needed. all 3 of us siblings all lived with her at one time or another in our life. some for short times and some for extended times. i don't know that i have ever said thank you. but i don't think that would EVER be enough. So...when we have a chance to get together like this....all 4 of us, I try to make every effort to make it there, come hell or high water. And believe me...it has been raining something fierce over here....lol! The water is high, but I am still on my way. With our brother going through this scare, and we still don't know how it will turn out, the last time all 4 of us got together was over 10 years ago. So...this is going to happen. WE WILL HAVE FUN.... and pics will be posted! So stay tuned.....my bloggy buds....for there will be a great party happening in NEBRASKA next week!

Life is too short, get a long little doggy....

We found out that our brother may have intestinal cancer. "C" and I are praying that some glitch on the test or someone maybe misread or something...I don't know. I feel angry....I feel hurt...he is a young man, married happily, could never have children, although they wanted them desperately. He is only 49. He is a twin to our other sister. He is such a good person, always wanting to good for other people....I know there is a reason, I am a Christian and I understand that God works in mysterious ways. We just don't see it in His time line. But in my human eyes, I want to understand so I can comfort him and his wife. I want to tell them it will be okay. Well, in my own mind, I know that is for me mostly, not so much for them. God will take care of them. Please keep us in your prayers the next few days while the testing is being done and we find out all the specifics. Thanks. God Bless You...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, MOMMY

the kids are all home, dad has fixed lunch, he even did the dishes! imagine that! now it is time for mom to take her much deserved nap. kids leave her alone. but will that happen? NEVER!! they love you too much to let that happen. one needs their shoes, one needs a uniform washed for a game they didnt tell you about, another one wants 4 dozen cookies for the class party on monday, and yet another NEEDS "mom" time. so....what day is today? oh, i forgot, its MOTHER'S day, yeah, that is why you are getting all the attention!! YEAH RIGHT, GIVE ME A REAL BREAK, WOULD YA? AND THROW ME A BONE?

I CAN'T SLEEP, AND THIS ONE DROPS LIKE A ROCK ANYWHERE, ANYTIME!

faces only EVERYONE can love!!

This is my grand daughter Molly, the number 2, in the yellow sweater. This is taken in Venice, Italy. The caption read that she was eating a carrot, but of course I had to make it say she was puckered up to give me kisses. I miss her terribly. They were here for 6 weeks and just left last week. The other two, Jordan and Samuel, are siblings and belong to my son, (Molly belongs to my daughter) and they live 9 hours away. I won't see them for a long time either. I guess what I want to say to everyone is please don't take your family for granted. I have read on numerous blogs about arguments and things between family members, (me included! I'm guilty now and then!) about how we don't get along, they did this, we haven't talked for this many years, and most of the time, nobody remembers over what! I look at these little faces and I think of how time is flying by and how I can not spend just a few days out of year with them. And here other people have their families right there and they throw it all away on petty little things. It makes me angry people! Yes I am living with my in-laws, but it is not the same as blood relatives. Sisters, children, grandbabies...life is too precious and too short to waste it on trivial nonsense when people can just GET ALONG!! Be the big person and make the first move and reconcile with that one person that you have had words with or have not spoken to in years. You will feel a lot better after it is all done. I promise. Jo

She's Gonna Blow at Any Minute!!!

Enjoying the weather and beauty of nature...

As i sit and enjoy nature and all the wonderful weather that we have been having, it makes you think of the one who made it all. What a great God we serve and all that he has made! For people that don't believe in a Creator all they have to do is look out side and see for themselves the wonders of the earth. What started this was a few days ago when I planted my garden and saw all the worms and buggies that make everything work. I remembered when my kids were little, (really young) and they were grossed out at worms and bugs and dirt. I took that opportunity to tell them about the life cycle of how things grow, we eat it, then it goes to waste, and gets back into the ground and so on. How one species lives off the other, etc. It was so special. I remembered all that just being outside and planting in the garden! But it doesnt have to stop there! It can go so much further. You can teach a whole plethora of ideas and things to your kids from nature. All you have to do is DO IT! Anyway, off my soapbox for the day.

This was just going to be me, being melancholy and remembering all the wonderfull beauty there is all around me. Sorry for getting off on a limb. And what a wonderfully, cute and flowery limb it is. Oops, there I go again! Well, I will go now. I think I have said enough here. You all go out and enjoy the weather where ever you may be. If it is snowy, enjoy it, or rainy (which it did that later this afternoon, yeah! love it!) enjoy that, or if it is just plain, jane old dreary foggy, and cold, one of my favorites too, enjoy that especially! Have a wonderfull day no matter what, and remember, there is beauty and wonderment all around us, no matter what the weather is doing. So enjoy it with the one's you love now. For we know not what tomorrow may bring. Jo

Oh death, why must you sting?

today marked the passing of a dear beloved friend who was such a kind and dear lady, i feel a void knowing she is gone. she was elderly and had a very filling life. a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother she was. anyone who knew her instantly liked her. she was one her drew people in, made them feel at home, never knew a stranger. i only knew her 5 years, but felt like i had known her a lifetime. she was like a mom or grandma to many. just before i left kentucky, she became ill enough to have to move in with her daughter, who happened to be my supervisor. she lived in the dorms where i worked at the school. i saw her everyday. another lady from our school wrote a tribute to her that just brought tears streaming down my face. it was so touching. heart-warming...she will be greatly missed. she lived her love for the Lord everyday. her faith stood strong in all those years. the integrity of this lady, it speaks volumes. if you looked up the word in the dictionary, i am sure her name would be there! our loss today is Heaven's gain. i will miss you, Miss Betty, but save my place, i will see you again.

Why is it so hard to say GOOD-BYE?

This is my daughter Jennifer, and her baby, Molly who is 1 now. The came from Italy to help us move from KY to NC.

My two girls left today after
being here for 6 weeks. i really miss them now. the house is quiet, no one to put to bed, no diapers to change, no one to follow around the house, ho hum....on one hand, yes it is quiet and peaceful. but i like the "busyness" of having a family around. call me strange. i like that meals have to be made. food has to be bought, things have to be cleaned. yup....i am a mom and now a gramma. that is what we do. i got so used to having them around. now there is an emptyness. a void. my husband and mother-in-law came home from eating supper out (thats because we didn't have to come right home and get a little person to bed) and when we all came in, it was soooo quiet.

so now we have to find our niche. we moved here when she and the baby were here. now we have to "find our own way" sort of. i have to find my groove. so, for now my bloggy buds, i am off to bed, i am worn from emotional energy spent today. if you have any suggestions for me, i am all mouth, ears, eyes and noses!! lol g'night......zzzzzzzz

Gardening, it's good for the soul, BAD for the sunburn!

today i planted my garden. all my 10 herbies, and my tomatoes, 3 kinds, cukies, squashes, jalapenos, and watermelons. got them all nice and comfy in the ground, fertilized and watered. labeled. put all my junk away. so proud that it is finally done. done. and done. i walked in the house. the daughter and husband had been grocery shopping and started cooking lunch. they looked at me and looked at each other, and asked me if i had felt OK. i said i was hot, thirsty, and i hurt my back, but other than that i was fine. i just wanted to sit and revel in my accomplishment of the day. as i walked past the mirror, i saw what they were talking about. my face was soooo red, it looked almost purple.i was totally flabergasted. 1st because i had been going to the tanning beds for the last 2 weeks with the daughter so she could be tan for a trip she is going on. 2nd because i was only out there for maybe 90 minutes. then of course, i get the lecture. did you not put sunblock on? i walked through the house, on into bathroom and took my nice long soak. i was in a good mood, and dadgummit, i was determined i was not letting the husband or daughter ruin my good accomplishment today!! but boy did i ever look bad when i saw myself in the mirror. egads.......i could slap myself if it wouldn't hurt so bad. why didn't i put the stupid sunscreen on before i went out? i use it before the tanning beds and everytime i go out for any length of time. well....this is my bits of advice: after my nice soak, and re-hydrating, re-freshing, and re-moisturizing myself, i went in and ate of the bounty the daughter and husband had to offer. and NEVER, EVER go out without your sunblock on. you will grow old and wrinkly. well, everyone grows old, but you dont have to be wrinkly. your skin can be nice and supple and young looking if you take care of it. so that is my two cents worth for today.

How to Make a Doxie Sandwich in 3 Easy Steps

A New Horizon

I think I am going to tackle a new challenge. Yup. Even more than the ones I am facing. So me bloggy buddies, out of no where, but always in the back of my warped little mind, I have always wanted to write a book. No particular kind, just a book. This one happens to be a children's book. No specifics yet, but it is something near and dear to my heart. I have no clue where to start, but then that would make it easy now, wouldn't it? And would it still be called a challenge? So I will keep you posted. As for settling in, we are still unpacking many boxes. The problem is, we don't have places to put the darn stuff! So my wonderful husband is building and renovating as he loves to do. Mom and Dad-in-law are about the same. He won't be coming home from the nursing home. He will stay there permanently. Slowly but surely we will get it all done. And my little writing adventure....we will see how that turns out. My daughter wants to draw my pictures for me. She is pretty good. We will see. Have a good weekend my bloggy buddies. Enjoy the great spring weather where ever you are!!

Happy as a Hog

Well, for right now, all is good. I am doing fine. No complaints. The house we moved in, my in-laws, will be undergoing construction for the next several months. We, my husband and I, will be taking care of his mom. His dad is in the nursing home. He may or may not be able to come home. But in that event, we have to be prepared. So...we have to make the addition for them to be handicap accessible. And also make some updated additions. All is going along good. So for now, life is sweet, and I am like this picture, happy as a clam. lol or hog.

Why Do I Feel Like This

Like you are working so hard at something and everything is against you? Like you pull and pull and never get anywhere? Well, my friend, join me in this little hullabaloo i call "my family."

it is like this. some days you love them, some days you want to bury them. yes? i think so, too. some family members who shall remain nameless...they may know who they are if they read this. well, there are days that are just dandy and fine...and then the next it is like all hell has broken loose and we have a whole different person. do you have anyone like that? i thought so. see? i knew our family wasn't the only one. whew....i'm so glad we are normal, anyway, let me tell you if this doesn't stop, someone is going to be missing some essential body parts that are pertinent to some bodily functions. i can tell you that much for certain, right now. so hang it up now, lose the attitude buddy, and honey...don't come crying to me if you find out you got some of your favorite clothes missing, either i don't have it, OR i can't remember where i put it after i washed it! lol (revenge....i love it!)

HERE, MADE IT, BUT NOT WITHOUT SOM E COLORFUL MOMENTS

Ok, so the day before we left, our truck shows 4 dummy lights! Like we needed to have this added to the never-ending list of tasks already to finish as we are loading the moving truck! so off i go to the ford dealership. they want to keep the truck overnight. i told them they couldn't because we were leaving the next morning. they promised me they would have it finished by 10 am. but...i needed the vehicle to put all the stuff in that we would use for traveling. i guess i would make due, somehow. more on that bit later. then the car that i borrowed to follow me out there in, well, once we dropped the truck off, we went to walmart, and it starts smoking in the parking lot. so we pull over and raise the hood. there's a busted radiator hose. so we are stuck an hour away from home with someone else's car, and much packing yet to do. i call my knight in shining armour and tell him. he calls someone to come get us. i feel really guilty leaving the "borrowed and broken" car there, so i call the owner. she laughs. but, i dont want to leave her stranded, so when our ride gets there, we drive the busted car across the road to advance auto. they tell us, it is against their policy, but they could "fix it on the side." so our ride leaves, poor guy, came out for nothing! anyway...we made it home after 5 hours, tired, hungry, and a bit peeved. and when i got there, i STILL had to finish the packing that needed doing.

the next day, we didnt have our truck, remember. the things we wanted to pack in our truck for the trip...stuff for the hotel, etc. got packed in the moving truck until we got to the dealer. once we got to the dealer, we decided, hey...we can just leave it in the moving truck, this will make for a lighter load in the explorer, right? or so i thought. i had the baby and the dog with me in explorer. my daughter and my husband were in the moving truck. they, bless their anal little hearts, decided to get up at 4am to get a head start, unbeknownst to me, and left ahead WITH ALL THE STUFF I NEEDED!! so they get to the storage unit in NC at the other end, about 6 hours before i get there, and because my stuff was last in, it is FIRST in the storage unit!! now i have 2 pairs of shoes to my name! both crocs! bright orange and red! the rest in storage until they get them back out! and one bra! don't know what or where they went, i had more, now they are gone. i had like 6, and think i left a trail of them along the way...so if you find some along I-40, they're mine!

anyway, we got here safely, other than those few minor hiccups. thank you all for your kind words and prayers. i really do appreciate you all. we are now concentrating on getting a place or renovating/adding on to my in-laws home. and also getting my husband a job. please keep us in your continued prayers. more updates to follow! Jo

Moving Right Along...

As we get ready to depart this place we have been for the last 5 years, we contemplate many things. Are we doing the right thing? Is it a smart move financially? Where will we be 10 years from now? What about the kids, they will be so far away?

Then I got to thinking...we prayed about this move. It's what we do about every major thing we do in our lives. We had a peace about it. So no matter what may come, God will handle the rest. So now, I have to make myself believe this. This is the time that doubt and satan come in and do battle in my brain and cause me to question everything. So, as easily as it gets in there, I have to remember my 1st decision and GET IT OUT!! My bloggy buds, please remember us as we are traveling the next 3 days. My husband and I, our daughter, and her 1 year old, and our dachshund. 1 big 26' truck, and our SUV, driving 12 hrs across the Smokey Mountains, into NC all the way to the coast. Then we have to find a house, sell a house, find a job, and take care of his dad in the nursing home. Not in that order, of course. So...we have our work cut out for us. I may not have time to post, but I will do what I can to keep you updated. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Jo

Looking around the house to downsize....

So...as we are packing, I am looking at all the junk I have collected over the last 27 years. That is just my married life. Not counting before, my 21 years of collecting crap. And there was alot then too. My daughter, God bless her, is here, helping us move, along with her baby. I get to watch the baby more and she gets to do more of the work. But she is "helping" me go through things. Or should I say, get rid of things. "Mom, this is like from when I was 8, you don't need it anymore. And this is so old, Gramma would throw it out!" Then she went into my closet! OMG, I thought I would slap her silly! Poor little Molly, that is my grandaughter. I thought she would be an orphan. Or at least motherless, by the time she was through. She got rid of over half of my things! She had the nerve to say I had no taste in clothes! And....that I didn't need all 78 pair of shoes. How dare she! Well, I did want to downsize. But sheesh, couldn't we throw away the couch and chairs and get new ones? Or maybe order new linens and stuff? Why of why attack my poor wardrobe? What did it do to her? I asked her, "Are you from that show, 'What not to Wear' secretly coming here pretending to help me move? Because this is NOT funny!! Anyway, Jin is still alive, bless her, and I have way less clothes. And somewhere, sometime, someone will get alot of nice clothes and shoes. Mostly, new....dad gummit, and mostly my favorites!!!! I'll get even!!! I will!!

THIS IS WHAT I WANNA DO....

But packing is what I need to do...YUCK!!!

Packing, packing, packing...very slowly

Moving right along, yes...very slowly, but surely. Boxes everywhere...coming out of every crevice in the house. I have never seen so much junk! Where did it all come from? This is not all mine! Where did I buy all these beanie babies, and WHY? Who in the world has 3 large bottles of orange listerine? Why do I have a case of dryer sheets? I also found like 14 suitcases in my spare bedroom!! Some I never have seen before! What is going on here? And who is putting all this stuff in my house? My husband asked me, "what are you doing with a laundry basket full of yarn?" Where in the heck did that come from? OMG, it's raining craploads of CRAP in my house! Someone make it stop, and now I have to pack it all and pay to take it with me? Oh, HECK NO, look out, Good Will, Salvation Army, here I be coming!! I'll be renting my 18 wheeler and lugging this all in. all 12 loads! This week! Right after I go through it all and see what I wanna keep! LOL! Jo

Has Spring Sprung?

What a wonderful day to go for a swim! Well not for me, but for these little babies here. I found these little guys on a web site, and thought they were the cutest!! I have them participating in all kinds of activities! So...you will see them enjoying all me blogs. Hope you do too! Have a happy Springy day!

Renewing in many ways....

Well, it is Spring time, and with that comes Easter and a season of reflecting on what this all means. I think it is a renewing of many sorts. First and foremost, Easter...the time when Jesus came, suffered, died, and ROSE on the third day. HE IS ALIVE!! For that reason, we all may live. As believers, this is the foundation of our faith. THE ULTIMATE IN RENEWING!! Next, we have, Spring, with it comes all the rains and all the new born flowers, trees, birth of all that has slept all winter long. The rejuvenation of all that is green! With new smells, new vigor and strength, buds and stems are pushing their way through to show their vibrant colors and babies are being born to all manner of animals. This is new life in it's simplest form. The renewing of the species. One of my most favorite times of the years. And....as this all is happening...I feel like I am "renewing" myself in that this move is a new beginning also. A new adventure. Another chapter in our lives that is yet to be written. And what a perfect time of year to do it in, as all is coming into their own "new chapters" also. The new smells, the new sights, the new sounds of a new place. Arriving in a new season.... Jo

may you be blessed with all of the luck o' the irish.

Made it Home..Now to Packing!

Never thought I would appreciate the Air Force for this reason before. Yes, I thank them for all they sacrifice for us, my husband was one of them. Gave twenty one years, my father-in-law also gave 21 years, plus another 13 again for civil service, then my daughter served in the Air Force before, during and after the war and beyond for 6 years. The sacrifices are many, and YES the prices are very, very high. We moved a total of 5 times, (some of those don't include multiple moves on the base from house to house!) once out of the country, and we SURVIVED! BUT what I would like to thank the military for that some may not know is those in the background....the MOVERS!! Yes, now that I have to move AGAIN, and have to pack all this up AGAIN, I would like to salute you, the one's that make it all happen when they say we gotta go now, you get us or now them, there in one piece. Well, mostly in one piece. I have only had a very few broken items in all my 21 one years. They know their stuff. Again, thanks for your hard and back breaking work! I'M HAVING TO DO IT NOW!!!

Please be patient, me bloggy pals, I'm MOVING!

hey all! i know i haven't posted in a bit. i have had to leave on medical emergency to my husband's family home in NC. his dad is really bad off, and now we must leave KY and go there to be with his parents. they are in their 70's and need him now. his dad will more than likely leave the hospital for a convalecent home. so we have to work out all the legal things for his mom and such. but i will keep up and keep posted here and there. take care me lil bloggy buddies. i will be checking in and reading in on yours to make time go by. and i will post as i can. blog on....jo

Ahhh, Music Soothes the Soul, the Heart, Mind, Ears

This has not been a very good week, so in looking back, I think, my heart, mind, soul and my ears need a good purging. Yes...a good "Spring Cleaning," if you will. Music has always done that for me. So I have added a little addition to my page to help "keep me focused" on what is important. Also...on top of that awful week long black week of migraine...I now have a double ear infection. I have decided the music will soothe this savage beast. It may also be pleasing to my reader also, so as you read, and browse sit and listen, these are a few songs that have special meaning and are very powerful for me. They lift when you are down. Encourage when defeated, and most of all soothe when ruffled as I was. So, bloggy friends, enjoy, from me to you. And if you would like to add music to your page you can download the player at the bottom by clicking on it and following the links. 8)

Stupid, stupid, stupid and then more stupid!

i thought these were pretty funny....but mostly stupid. i laughed so hard, tears in my eyes, then realized, someone actually made these. they actually took the time, spent real money, wasted energy, used good serviceable things on STUPID STUFF!! it totally makes me so mad that there people out there that do that when we have kids starving, some without shelter and clothes or medicines they need. and here they are wasting resources on stupid stuff!! how dumb can they be??? well....that was my ranting and raving for today....not that it did any good. but by golly....i put my foot down hard and i meant every word and i typed it hard too!! dang it!!

FRIKKING MIGRAINE!!

Why must they torment me? Why don't they just go away? Who invented them anyway? It has to be some guy with nothing better to do. It is not HORMONAL, I don't have any. I don't smoke. Check that off. I don't drink as much as a priest during communion. (sorry if your Catholic, I used to be, or still am, if you can ever get out of it!) So what gives? Why do some have to suffer the days of misery with a migraine? I have been at home now, off from work, which I love so much, I don't even call it that. I hang out with teenagers in a dorm. That is not work. It is fun. No...they did not give me the headache, when it gets rough, i just go to another room! lol, not really, it isn't that bad there. But really, just SHOOT me it would be less painful! I would rather give birth...the 18 years of the child at home would be so much less painful.

So...Okay, I call the doctor (neurologist) last week when it started. She never called me back. That was Wednesday. I called my regular doctor today, still nothing. I went to the ER over the weekend. They gave me and IV of some crap combination of motrin, zantac, and something for nausea. What the heck!!! Where are the narcotics??? Give me something to knock it out, people!! GEEZ!!! So...I just called the pharmacy and still nothing has been called in from either doctor as they had PROMISED! and now both frikking offices are closed AGAIN!! So another sleepness night with a frikking headache.....hey....where is the nyquil?

Something to make you Smile

Yup...another hits eastern kentucky! we have at this typing, 5 inches and still falling. today it was 60*. tonight it started out raining, turned to slushy rain, then snow, by the time i left work, we had 3 inches, now it is 5 inches, and it is still falling. i walked my little weaner dog when i got home, and it was up to her neck. bless her short little legs. she didnt even want to poop. who would of seen it? where would it fall? poor lil baby....and her brother, the 6 month old shepherd mix that towers over her, laughed right at her. like....ha ha, you are buried up to your neck, ha ha. it came up to his ankles. how mean can puppy brothers be?

well, anyway...just thought i would stop by and give a weather update and say hi. off to bed now. see you all later. have a wonderful sunday. love, jo
