Falling....OOOUUCCHHHH!!!

This morning I was checking a text message that someone sent to me, when I fell down the stairs at my house.....I strained something in my ankle cause it hurts like all get out and ended up with a rug burn on my knee. Of course everyone is now telling me to hang up the phone and walk....

I am hurting :o( but I guess sometimes you deserve what you get......

Keep smiling!!!

Frustrated with the Cable Guy

Yesterday I set up an appointment for the cable company to come out and install, cable, phone, and Internet at the house.....CAN YOU BELIEVE IT TOOK HIM 5 HOURS TO COMPLETE THE INSTALL!!!!! I am not a real patient person anyway, but my goodness, why in the world did it take so long??? He did not call in when he got there at 12:30pm, and so during the time that he was there, I received 3 calls telling me that the service tech would be there at 2:30, 3:30, and then at 4:30.....What is up with that???? Then when he finally did call in he told them that his time of arrival was 2:00........I left work and was not able to get back to work for the day.....as much as I needed the time off, I could not afford the time off right now.....oh well that is the price you have to pay sometimes.....what is worse, we did not watch any channel last night that we were not available with rabbit ears....What is up with that??????

Oh well, as always, Keep Smiling!!!

Veteran's Day

Yesterday was Veteran's Day.....and Happy Birthday Mother.....Brandon was all dressed in his uniform for a parade they were having at Byrnes High.....

We are really proud of him....He also has made the riffle and saber team at school......

WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND GIVES MY SON AN GUN AND SWORD???????

Keep Smiling!!!

Crazy Daze...

It has been some crazy daze!!!! I know that it is no different than anyone elses lives, but for me it has been some up and down days.

We have moved into the new house...here are some pics, excuse the mess still getting settled....

It is fun, but still crazy having a new house, I just wish that I could get out of the boxes.

Brandon has brought new meaning to testing his mom. I am not sure what to do with my 15 year old boy. Things that he is saying and doing are really starting to scare me, please pray for us.

Bradley was recommended to try out for regional band....pray for him and wish him luck....I am trying to find a silver trumpet to buy him....HHHHHEEEELLLLPPP!

Lainey is good too, don't want to leave her out :o)

Well the days maybe crazy, but atleast I am alive......

Keep Smiling!!!!!

Happy Halloween!!

Hey Friends,

Happy Halloween!!!!

Keep Smiling!

Moving Day

Well it is finally here, MOVING starts today :o) . Jim and I went last night and picked up the keys for our new house. We are so excited although not really thrilled about the thought of moving things from one place to another. Who knows, we will see how it goes. The lot is huge and so Jim and I decided that we would walk down to the lake on the back of the property. Well we started and got halfway down there and decided I would not be going through the brush to get there. Ticks and snakes scare me to death. OK I know that ticks and snakes are more likely in the Spring and Summer, but lets not take any chances.

Let's see how it goes, will post pics when I get them :o)

Keep smiling!!

Not Into It

I have had some rough days these past few days....between boredom, crankiness, and headaches, I have not wanted to be at work for some reason. Is it the work, not its been ok. Is it the people, partly, but no they are like this all the time. I don't know what it is. I am just not into it.

Well I get the keys to my new house today after work :o) I am so excited about the new house, but not about moving because it takes way to much out of you to actually pack up everything, move it to a new location and unpack it again. I am just not into it. But into it or not it is something that must be done. The house is good, bigger than the one we are in and less money a month, the important things.

Dodi brought me some of her awesome Apple Cinnamon Jelly this morning, I am so excited about going to get some toast and having that for dinner. That I am into :o)

Keep Smiling!!

Back to Life

Well we just got back from a fun, FANTABULOUS, weekend cruise to the Bahamas. Thanks Dodi!!!!!!!!!!!

I will post pic later, but want you to know it was a great first cruise for me!!!!

Hey Dodi, really he only gave me 3..........pairs, along with one other :) with you.

Keep Smiling!!!

Tomorrow, Tomorrow I Love Ya Tomorrow

I can not wait, I am leaving town tomorrow for a fantabulously planned weekend with the girls.

I keep singing the Annie song in my head knowing that the sun'll come up tomorrow.....

All we ever do at home is argue and I am tired of it.

Brandon's birthday was yesterday and Dodi made a truely delicious cake for his birthday. He wanted a book cake and she put a dragon on it from one of these books tht the two of them tend to read. Although she could tell him to read the phone book and he would do it. Jim's parents came over so that was nice.

I JUST AM READY TO BE GONE!!!! TOOOOOOOMORROW, TOMORROW I'LL LOVE YA TOMORROW, YOUR ONLY A DDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!

Keep smiling!!!

Weekend Whatevers w/ a Monday Twist

Well this weekend was pretty much there...nothing exciting...nothing unusual. Friday night we did much of nothing except a family night at Burger King. Sounds like fun huh? Did you know that they have Mac and Cheese kids meals now...AWESOME with Apple Fries :)

Saturday, I watched Cody, Rachel's (Dodi's cousin) little boy for a few hours and had fun!!! We played around on the floor and watched football...then of course he would look at me and say "Bill" because I had turned it from Noggin where Little Bill was on. We spent a few hours just having fun. On the way over there, I had passed and antique sale and saw a desk that perfectly matched the dresser in one of the kids rooms....I was so excited, they held it for me and then when I got done playing with/watching Cody, I got to go back and pick it up (Thanks Rachel!!!!)

After that we drove to Greenwood to see Bill and Becky...they were camping....I don't camp for two good reasons...1) No camp site is complete with out a fire......did I tell you I am allergic to smoke? ... Two hours later we had to leave because I was having an asthma attach... and reason 2) Camping means outdoors....did I tell you that I am allergic to trees, weeds and such....not good...Not to mention that I got carsick on the way, so it made for such a pleasurable evening.
Came home...went to bed.

Sunday we packed most of the day and I packed for the cruise.....is it time to leave yet????

Dodi and I went to lunch today, it was good to get to go somewhere for lunch with someone to talk to since people have not exactly been very open to me spending lunch time with them lately.
Thanks Friend!!!!

Keep Smiling :)

Why ask if you are only going to be mad???

Well I know that all I ever do is complain, but since only one person is reading this and I normally complain to her anyway, she is use to this.

Why is it when you want to know the answer to a question, you get mad when you do not get the answer and when the answer is given to you, you get mad at the answer. It is a crazy world!!!!

I am so ready to be on the cruise. I do not want to talk or think about anyone on the mainland at all for those days.

I need a break!!!!

Keep Smiling!

Random Blah, Blah, Blah

Ok so I can't spell....Dodi is my BEST friend not my BEAST friend....I have a number of them too....

Also what is it with men? Why can they not just tell you what they are thinking when you ask.....DANG IT a chick will tell you and 5000 other people how they feel and what peeved them off, but a guy can not even tell you if you mean something to them. All ya get is a dance around the flippin question.

Lunch today was interesting.....went to Fatz to celebrate Linda's birthday...We get there and there is not enough room for everyone at the table so I get to sit with the main group. That was cool, conversations were good...but still uncomfortable...would I have been better with the other group? Probably not, one of my bosses sat next to me so we talked a good bit, which was good.

Ok and then there is a vendor that I have been talking to for the last few weeks trying to get some issues fixed with his account....man that has been so interesting...wonder what he is really like.

Ok just random Blah, Blah, Blah

Bunch of Emotions

Mostly I am am excited that I will be going on a cruise in a week...well technically we do not get on the boat until a week from tomorrow, but I am leaving the "real world" in a week with my beast friend, Dodi, and two other friends Dawn and Erin. Well really I do not know Erin yet, but I am sure that if she is friends with the others, that she will be fun! We are going to celebrate Dodi's birthday.

Well let's see not the not so good emotions...why is it that people have to act like they have no clue. Especially over stupid stuff! Then why do people profess to be you "chistian" friend and treat you worse than those friends that don't profess their christianity, not saying that they are not christians, but that they just don't throw it in you face. I know you should not put your faith in people, unless you know that your faith is trusted with them, but still don't people care about others feelings anymore? And then there are people that do things just to peeve you off, like talking until you walk into the room and then all of a sudden they get quiet and don't say anything....MAN THAT TICKS ME....especially when one of them is trying to convience you that he is trying to win back your heart. That is not the way to so it.

Oh well enough of that....I hope that you have a fantastic day and remember to Keep Smiling!

Just Another Manic Monday

Well, so what, that is basically my feelings of the way that Monday went. OMG I about wanted to scream yesterday because of dumb questions. Last night on Jeopardy, there was a catagory of dumb answers, I felt like I had just lived the research for that catagory. I mean when you have to tell somone something over and over again, and it never seems to get through. Oh well enough of that.

Last night was really hard, storms scare the crud out of me and I was all alone last night in my first storm. I thought that I was going to scream!! It was so bad that it scared Sugar, my oldest dog, too. Harley, my baby dog, crawled up in my lap and licked me on the leg, kinda like telling me that I would be ok. But still when you know how much something scares the world out of someone, and that you are supposed to care about that person, even if that person is pushing you away, but the insist that they care about you, that they would at least pick up the phone and call to check to see if you are ok....Oh well what can you expect right. But thank you to the friend of mine that texted me through it all and my pups that love me...luckily the storm did now wake the kids...the couch is not big enough for more than a few of us.

Oh well like I said, may have been a mistake for someone to tell me to vent my opinion online, but I will do my best not to intentionally hurt someone's feeling.

Well, Tuesday is another day, let's take it to new heights in happiness, or at least try not to scream out loud at Milliken. :)

KEEP SMILING!!!

Dodi said to

Well I have started this blog because Dodi said that this was a really good way to vent my emotions, which as of late have been up and down. This sounds like a good idea, until you realize that you are really not sure that you want people to know what you are thinking sometime. I often have a problem keeping my mouth shut in times that I think that I should, but then all of a sudden it just all seems to flow out.

Well I look forward to just letting it out here, and prior to you reading anything else that I may find myself blurting out for no reason whatsoever that may offend you, I am sorry, but there are days when ya gotta say what you need to say just so that you do not bottle it up any longer and kill yourself on the inside because you have no one that you can talk to and let you feelings flow to.

Then on the other hand I will do my best not to let all my feelings flow, because not all the things that I feel are cared about and can affect our relationship and can then put a damper where dampers need to stay out of.

Ok there ya go...Happy Days are here again!!!! KEEP SMILING!
