A reminder to me..................

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. I'll always be with you.” Winnie the Pooh

I keep having to remind myself that I do matter...............not sure I like being female with all the emotions that go along with it!

Where does time go!!!???

I had last Thursday off and even though I started the day rather late I cleaned, went to laundry mat, cooked and shopped so that day was gone before I knew it. I worked Friday and on Saturday I went straight to Meijer, Wal-mart and Kroger. As soon as I got home I started some Chili, sloppy joe and a pan of brownies. Grabbed a shower and head washing. Jacob's girlfriend and her parents came to town so the 2 of them could spend some time on a date. I took hubby to work and dropped Jake and Rachel off at the mall. Came back home and hung out and played a game with the Wilts. Time to go back to get the kids. When I got back from there Abby's friend and his mom were at the house. We all went back to the mall where we all shopped and hung out. Came back home, gave them some chili and realized I had to stay up until 11 to go get hubby! Cleaned up the kitchen, they left and I fell asleep for about 10 minutes. Got hubby, came home, crashed within 5 minutes and woke up to start all over. I am not sure how long I can keep up this schedule! I am becoming an old woman I think. I can't wait until early April, I have to pull a double but I will get to sleep past 6:30 for 1 day!

Where are you, Spring???

You just had to tease us last week, didn't you? I know what happened. You stuck your head out, twitched your little nose around and decided to go back inside for awhile. I understand...........it is too early for you. I just look forward to when you come back again and I can open my windows everyday and take long mind-clearing walks. I am also looking forward to not stepping in mud. I do believe when I get old I will be a snowbird..........Michigan in the warm months and Florida during the cold months. I like the sandy soil of both of those places. You are welcome to visit anytime, my friend, Spring!

Dinner at mom's

I had a great dinner at mom's. I mentioned to Dano that I couldn't believe he actually got me a purse for my birthday since I have several already. He said it was the most "romantic" thing on my list. Romantic??? He said, that maybe that wasn't the word but nothing else was fun. I said that I am just practical and couldn't think of alot that I need or want. Seth said that birthdays aren't supposed to be practical. Maybe not, but I am just that way. I honestly don't need anything and am not big on wanting stuff. I have been told I am low maintenance. I suppose I am. I could be high maintenance if that is what they want. Hair color, jewels, you name it...I just prefer to be like I am! I think they are all ok with it too since I have been told I am, "THE WORLD'S BEST MOM!" The preacher did a fantastic job on the cake! When in doubt, MAKE IT RED!

My Birthday!

These are the flowers I picked out for my Birthday. I had a great day! I would of loved to share it with a friend but sometimes things just don't happen our way! All in all it was NICE! I fixed what I wanted for my dinner~ fish, mac/cheese and broccoli soup! Weird combination but it was MY day so.........It was nice to be queen for a day. I got some nice cards as well as some nice gifts. Thank you to all my friends that sent me Birthday wishes! I was preoccupied and poured Tea in my soup bowl! I am glad I hadn't dipped my soup yet!

Almost time!!!!!!!

On Wednesday the 16th I will find out just where I am with my eyes. I am hoping for good news. Right now with all that is going on in my life I am not sure I can handle anything but that! I know that somewhere inside me is the strength I need but I am not feeling it right now. I can't believe the way this past week has gone. I am glad it is over!

Ho-Hum!

My life is pretty much day by day right now. I am enjoying the time I get to be home and trying to be a good caregiver when I am working. I like to talk to a friend when I am off work as well as cook and make cards. I really need to scrapbook before my pictures get out of hand again.

hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

Not sure how but I think everything is going to be alright in my world. I will go to the specialist on the 16th of February to see what can be done about my eyes. I do ok in the light of day but when the lights are out and I am all alone then it seems as if nothing can ever be ok. I just have to believe it will.......either that or lose my sanity all together!
