Well, I'm on holidays for a week. Took a long time getting here. I sure do need this break. I have a list of things I want to get done this week, but I'm sure I'm not going to get it all done. I always do that. Plan to get more done than I have time for. I thought spring was here but mother nature fooled us and we had a two day snow storm...geeze..it's the end of March for pete's sake. We sure didn't need it. Now we are battling flood waters. Going to the World of Wheels today...never been should be fun..
It was very cold Friday, but it's warmed up today. Very beautiful today. Hubby is cooking us lunch, waiting on drag racing to come on........that is about it. Maybe finish watching the last 2 movies I rented for us......Hope you all have a great day!
Hi Everyone! Hope you have a great holiday Debbie and hope yu get all you want done. What is World Of Wheels? Just a lazy day today. It's been raining all day and our driveway is starting to flood. *sigh* Have a great day everyone!
NOthing much here, like I said we were lazy today........watched drag racing, then watched two movies........it was fun spending time with hubby........relaxing.......now off to bed.
The World of Wheels is a big car show. It's got oldies and new ones. Some awesome looking cars and bikes there. We took the kids, we had a good time. Off to my Mom's to wallpaper her livingroom. She's not home, I'll be there myself. Hopefully it won't take too long.
Hi Everyone! World of Wheels sounds like a place my sister and her hubby would love. They are so into cars! LOL! Glad you had a good time Debbie. Hope you got the wallpapering all done. I've just had a few errands to do today. Nothing much really. Hope you all had a good day.
Well not much going on now, earlier I had an easy time with the baby, the 3 year old was fun too. Hubby is still here, they have no loads worth him taking right now. I have really enjoyed him, but he is getting kinda antsy so I think he is ready to make some money! lol
Well off to finish the boards before our dinner is done being grilled.
I have such good news I had to share. I will be gone for 2 days, I am going to visit my oldest son at Ft. Hood. I haven't seen him in almost 3 years and I am sooooo EXCITED!!!!!
Beanie did you win any money at bingo? If so you going to share? lol
Had a fantastic time with my son. I didn't want to leave. We had the best time. We went and watched a movie last night, the Monsters vs Alien one in 3D. Wow what an experience that was. lol
Sounds great Trish...I'm glad you had this chance to be with him. Not been doing much here....been too sore. I overdid it when I wallpapered my Mom's livingroom. I'm not ready to go back to work, the list of things I wanted to do this week just haven't gotten done..
Hi Everyone! WELCOME BACK TRISHYPOO!!! I missed ya! I'm so glad to hear that you had such a great time with your son. OMG! You went to see the movie I've been dying to go see! How was it? I love the character Bob! Did you like it? And no, I didn't win a dern thing at the bingo! LOL! Oh well, c'est la vie as they say. Wow Debbie, you really do need to take a rest before you go back to work. Take Saturday off!
Beanie I missed you too Babycakes! I loved Bob, it was funny him falling in love with a jello thing......lol
You can either see it in 3D or not, we did the 3D thing and it makes you feel like your right there..........
It wasn't the movie we were going to see, but my oldest, the 24 year old, well he saw the 3d glasses at the front and so we traded tickets and saw that, which is fine, I just had a tough time with the glasses on my glasses.......lol
I want to move to a big city.......I miss it.
I am at a crossroads, when my youngest graduates in May, OMG, like next month, he will be gone, I will have like so much time, that is if I stop watching kids, I might as well, and maybe I need to think what next???? I just don't know........
Hi Everyone! Trish, isn't that called the 'empty nest syndrome'? You might consider taking some classes. Things that have always interested you but you never had the time for. That might help.
Beanie, there isn't much in this small town to do, so taking classes would not be easy to do. What I wish I could do is maybe travel, I loved doing that, and who really doesn't? I just know that everyone who has small kids, cherish them, they are gone and then you feel left out, and I need to find something to fill that........
I do know I want to move from this town, I like the big city life, and I just need to ask hubby if he will come too........
Hi Everyone! Hey Trish, what about travelling with hubby? I mean you two can spend time together and see the world at the same time. That sounds like fun to me!! I had a very busy day today. I volunteered for the Daycares Annual Easter Egg Hunt/Fundraiser. Whoa... talk about kids! LOL! You should hear them after they are all sugared up with chocolate and candy. Needless to say, I came home with a headache from the noise.... but it was fun!! LOL!
Beening on a truck while traveling is OK, but I have been there done that with him, and its hard to enjoy the sites and go where you want to go..........your company kinda has you on a leash if you know what I mean. I would love for us to get a 5th wheel someday and travel the country..........
Hi Everyone! I've got a cold. Feeling kind of rough today but I have a Hospital Committee meeting tonight that I have to go to. It's our last one. We've been fund raising for 5 years to hit a goal of $100,000.00 and we did it. Even made a bonus of $40,000.00. Now we get to present everything to our Chief and Counsel tonight. I'm looking forward to what they are going to say!!
Hi Everyone! The meeting went very well Trish. The Chief and Counsil we very impressed with how we've done. They are going to have a plaque made and hang it in the office with all the members names on it. I was so happy! It's nice to be appreciated for a job well done! Hope you all had a great day!
Hi Everyone! Had my blood test today. Hopefully the resuklts will be good. I won't get them till next week. Had a great day today, went shopping with Mum and then went out to the bingo. I won 50 bucks! Not too shabby! LOL!
Hi Everyone! It's a glorious Good Friday here today. I think I'll take Mum and go for a nice long drive. It's just that beautiful here! Hope you all have a great day!
Not much been happening here. Same ole. Going to paint Easter Eggs with the kids today and they will be here for dinner on Sunday. Weather's been so-so...not great but not bad. Still have snow on the ground. We are having a very slow melt.
The kids had a blast painting Easter Eggs. They ate some took some home and the rest we will eat on Sunday. They turned out pretty good too. Got a couple of errands to do today and then stop by my Mom's for a bit. I always get her an Easter Lily for Easter. She was quite upset when she found out we were'nt going to be there for Easter Dinner but I think it's for the best right now. My sister has said some really cruel things and I don't want any trouble at my Mom's.
I'm going to my sisters for the day tomorrow. I don't know if I'll be on here... maybe late, I'm not sure. So I've popped in to wish you all a Happy Easter. Hope you all have a great day!
How is everyone? Me I been a veggie, planting myself on the couch and watching the hallmark channel all day. What a tear jerking day! Its nice when you have your house cleaned, and you can relax..........
What a day of mixed feelings. Cooking Easter dinner here. The kids will all be over. But it's also the day 2 years ago that my Dad died. So much has changed in these 2 years. Stopped by my Mom's yesterday, I got her an Easter Lily...I always do on Easter. She's upset that we won't be there today. First Easter dinner that I've missed. Then went to the cemetary to see my Dad. Couldn't find excatly where he was...I'm hoping it was the right spot. It's mostly all still covered with snow and ice. My brother phoned me on Friday, he suggested the 4 of us, me, my Mom, him and my sister, get together to talk about what's been going on. I told him a few of the things my sister has said and he said I never heard that...I just said Of course not...she's not going to tell you that. At the end he said that if I do want to he will come too. But I didn't go...I just felt that with Easter, especially on the anniversary of my Dad's death, was not the time to get into all of this and really upset my Mom....Maybe one day. I would like the chance to talk with my Mom alone a few times first. Sorry for going on and on....
Didi I don't know what is going on with your sister and family but I do feel for you. Especially now, when it is happening around your dads death and it seems to be making you feel sad. YOu can come here anytime and tell us how you feel, you can go on and on, it don't matter, that is what WE are here for.
Mine is alittle different than yours, my husband's family seems to forget I am alive. Yeah I am here to babysit or whatever else THEY need, but today, they knowing my husband is not here, and they all have thier families, not ONE called, or anything, did not invite me to dinner, nothing. They are all at the lake with the kids hunting easter eggs and cooking out, and I just accidently heard this, not one has invited me there. I guess I am only good for one thing, mmmmmm.
Hi Everyone! I'm sorry you two are going through so much this Easter. You both can talk about things all you want. It sometimes helps to vent with your friends. People who won't judge you. Families can be so complicated. Mine for example. I felt so bad for Mum this Easter. Usually every year my brother sends her flowers. This year nothing. In fact he hasn't been over to see her since Christmas. I know it bothers her but telling my brother is like talking to a wall. It's his way or no way. I don't know what his problem is but I wish he not take it out on Mum. *sigh* Other than that... we had a great time at my sisters house. I think that brightened up my Mum a bit.
Hi everyone! Well, had to go to the hospital this morning. I woke up and my hand was swollen up like a balloon and it was sore as heck! When I got there the doctor said it was infected. *sigh* Just what I needed. Now I'm on a round of antibiotics and in a few days if it gets worse I have to go in for an IV antibiotics. Not to mention that my vet suggested putting my cat to sleep because this is the fourth time he has caused someone to go to the hospital with bites. I'm not having a good day! :c(
Hi everyone! My hand is killing me. I haven't been able to do anythng for a couple days. It's still swollen but not worse. Hopefully it gets better soon. Mum and I have decided to put my cat to sleep. The vet can't do it for 10 days. It's for legal reasons because he bit me. *sigh* I don't want to but I can't trust him anymore. With my having diabetes and Mum being a senior. I can't afford to have him bite me or her anymore. :c(
Beanie I am sooooooooo sorry you have to put your cat down, but you have to do what is best for all of you! I feel for you. Not an easy decision I am sure.
We are expecting rain, and under a tornado warning.........so best get off here soon.
Hey, folks. Decided to browse through this thread, as I seldome have time to. Usually, I hit the Attic before work and certain daily posts, I feel must be done , make what-ever siggies have been won seem to eat up the time real fast. Sad that you have to put down your cat, BEAN'ette, but guess there's no way around it. Maybe you can get a new kitty, or a puppy. So sorry to learn about your hand though. Must've been some bite! Didi, I concour with Trish and BEAN'ette - if you can't let it out here - then where? We really don't care if it takes you 3 sentences or a complete novel. Friends aren't going to judge you on the length of a post. And writing it out can be very theraputic.
Well its a typical monday......enuff said. The baby started talking today, well for "her" it was, she is only 4 months but she sure was a gibbering to me. Then she would laugh, it was so cute! I just love this stage, she is getting less cranky, and taking more naps, and well so enjoyable.
Hi Everyone, Thanks guys... deciding to put my cat to sleep was the hardest decision I've had to make in a long time. He went today. Thank God for brother-in-laws. He went to the vets for me and also buried him for me. I was so sad all day today. I miss my Nemo so much. That's it for me, no more animals for me and Mum. It;'s way too hard to deal with when they die. My hand is slowly getting better, it still hurts like heck but the swelling has finally gone down. Hope all of you are doing well. I've missed you guys and missed posting too.
