MOVED still working fulltime, and well sick now!

    Ok so the biggest hurdle it over with wonderful, Moved into house, stress pretty much gone, now what comes.... yes of course your body says you put me through to much and now you have to recuperate, Yep I am sick, sinus and body aches as well as what might be the signs of the flu have hit me.
    Though I feel sick and what not I am actually able to get the rest that I so overly need. Stress effects everyone differently... me I get sick, really sick. However I do have to admit this time it isn't so bad. However maybe it is because I need this time to get a hold of all my bearing and come out ahead again. I have fought my way here, and now that the battle is over, it is time for me to strengthen my forces. At least that is what my body tells me lol. To stay in the game of life I take what comes and handle it then and only then. Someone told me a long time ago, (My Husband) Don't sweat the small shit, everything is small shit. It'll work out for the best. That is true enough.
     So now my body is having it's time of healing, and my mind is free and clear of things to do. It is on to everyday living and breathing..... anything that comes along is not worth my time in worrying about. I ll figure it out in the end with help from those around me and God. The barrier that I have put up, the walls that protect me, the fence that you can not come through shall hold another day... maauuuaahhhaaa lol just kidding. I do have the walls built the barrier up stress doesn't effect me as much as it once did, but it has it's toll on me eventually. I find myself in those times that I just have to sit reflect and remember past experiences of how it use to be then from somewhere deep inside I find my answers coming through. I believe that is called growing up. Instead of reacting I reflect, find answers and go on, brush it off most times.
      My job is doing well, a  little stressful yes, but all jobs have that, you have to it is how you know and stay in the game by the challenges that is brings to you.  A learning process if you may, I appreciate these challenges. It shows me my limits and helps me to spread my limits out further. I enjoy my job through and through.
       School it's going well to, have two more semesters to go through. I ll get there slowly but surly I will. I am going to getter done eventually. No need to be in a hurry there. Just going with the flow in that area. I will get that goal dealt with promise. 
       Well time to rest up, I still have clothes to fold, and put away, and do some more. Just taking my time as usual when it comes to cleaning. Have to not let the small crap bother you..... after all that is one thing that will wait for you ha ha ha!

Moved and Well, Busy with unpacking and working!

  Well, I had four days off to move from one place to another. I managed just as well though the **** went through the fan, I Had everything settled and ready to go for the 15th. However the people taking over my trailer through a fit, and well, wanted us out on the 14th. So I had to scramble through Thursday and Friday to make arrangements to change everything I had done already.  I was able to get the movers to come on Saturday instead of  Monday. I was able to pack and load everything into the garage by Saturday morn at 9 am, so the movers could get to it easily.
   I was able to get it all over to the new house by 11am that Saturday and we sat there till 3pm until old owners of our new house came to give us keys. I cleaned the old place up, We stayed there the night got a motel on Sunday night. Closed on Monday morning at 9 am.
   I heard along time ago, that everything will turn out ok in the end, so if its not ok right now well then it's not the end. That saying could not be more true then it was through this move. As is everything did turn out ok. Even though my break down did eventually happen, on Thursday I was still able to cope and carry on with what I needed to get stuff done. However it is a prime example of what women do theses days all by them self. I worked full time, I tended house and family full time, I handled looking, searching and finding a new home, the bank and realtor stuff. As well as packed organized and set up the move, all by myself. Now it is time to relax and unpack and get house in order after all the stress has finally passed.
   Problem is now that I am in my new house, I feel I am taking to easy with the unpacking. I think however my husband as wonderful as he is will help more with the unpacking and setting house up. I am glad for this as in time our house will be in the condition we would like it to be in, sooner then later.
    I have company coming this weekend can not wait it will be exactly what I need to get relaxed and gain my strength once again in order to continue on in my life. Life is hard no body promised it wouldn't but why does life have to be SOOOO hard. I guess it is as hard as you want to make it, and can be fairly easy if you allow it.

Life of a full time working family mom! I can do it so can you!

   Do I look tired well I should, Reason I haven't been able to write on my blog lately is because being a full time mom, full time Asst. Manager takes a lot out out of you. I also am in the process of moving, I did finally find a house, and it is in the process of the close.
   So much has happened since the last time I typed upon this page. That I most likely will forget more then half of what I wanted to tell you in the first place. I know I wanted to mention that anything worth having is worth fighting for and working extra hard to get. I have done that and continue to do just that.
   I do know that I have learned a lot while trying to find and buy a house, it is not as easy as selling a house, I have done that twice now  in my lifetime. I am done moving, Yes you heard me right this gypsy gal is done moving at least for many many years. I don't want to even think about moving this time but I will have to move twice I am sure in the small amount of a month. Move out of my current place, into a temp place until my house closes. Then when closed on house move into it, I am not expecting to move from current right into knew place timing may not be that well on my side. If we do great I am happy, but if not ok I ll deal with it then. One day at a time is all I can think of right now.
   My husband still on the road, will be coming off it soon enough as I have told him if I am working this full time career now, he can start looking for a career here locally, no need to be over the road anymore after we get settled into our new place. So by the beginning of next year I have high hopes he will be home for good (off the road). He is happy to hear I am sure, I know I am more happy to look forward to it.
   My kids are excited as well to move, gypsy love to move around a lot, and well they are a part of me. My husband not a gypsy (we call them gorgers) doesn't like to move that much but has for the sake of me. He loves me so there we go right! So anyway all in all I promised him that we would not move again for a long long time lol, when we got this house, I am an old fashion type gal, don't care much for the newer kind of homes sure their nice an all but give me an historical house and I ll take it before the newer one. My house was built in 1941, the last house we had and sold was built in 1888. So I am getting another house. LOVE IT!
   So here I am beat tired writing you a quick update on my life, I am not sure how many of my readers are interested in reading about me, but I am anyway a personal note if you will. I can not wait till we are moved in to our house and I can finally relax enough to put my whole heart into my house, kids, family and work..... sigh it is a long road to travel, but with GOD on my side in my life I know I can achieve what is meant to be. Good night my readers, and I enjoyed reading all your comments, Please keep commenting I love to read them all.

Thanks and GOD BLESS you all!

Liberated or Not liberated which would you rather it be!

    Women have been doing it for years, how do we do it,  well we just do as it is something women know they must do. For if we do not do it then who will, your children .... right! Your husband.... good one. All in all I am not saying that our children or our husbands don't do a lot, however what I am saying is women are the back bone. The joint that holds it all together and there fore do it all when it all needs to be done,
    Seriously if we handed our job(s) off to your husband and or children... what would they do, would they even know where to start seriously. I don't think so, we woman in our families are what brings it together and keeps it together. Yes our family members may help here and there but then again more times then some we are at it by ourselves. Expected, almost to do all that no one else will do. So why if we are so used to the multitasking of our lives do we get so exhausted.... You tell me.
    I have been working full time, been a mother full time, wife full time, and then throwing in this and that's when I can and then some. The work just keeps piling up but I keep adding it and just throwing what I can where I can in the time I have each day. Amazingly I still get up in the morning and do it all again with new stuff added to my already busy day with out missing a beat.
    Yet I find my self saying what crazy woman took off her bra and burned it, to make a statement for me, saying I wanted this in my life ha ha ha ! I know I didn't ask to be liberated I would be just fine staying home keeping house, with my children.... but since women have been liberated I find it that those women only caused our women of today more work and misery at times. I mean look at it , prices of EVERYTHING has gone up because now both parents can work, and add into the family... taxes, gas, food, etc: the list goes on and on... Those whining women had it good when it all started..... however they also found out that just because they got liberated and were able to do what ever the men did, they still had to come home and take care of the children and the house.... with little to no help from their families... Makes me wonder if they ever put a second thought of it after all was said and done.... ummm I guess we will never really know that answer.
    I am not saying I hate being liberated nor am I saying I hate my life because of it, I am just saying I never asked for it ! LOL! So women of today think about it, if you could go back in time, would you have stopped the event that changed it all for us women of today... or would you have let it happen without a hitch?

Full Time Assistant Manager at a Clothing Retail Store!

    Ok so it is not the easiest job out there, however it is easier then Assist. Manager at a Fast Food Restaurant, this I know for fact. I have done both, I find myself enjoying my job everyday, it is easy to go in and work there. I am not saying the job itself is easy, it is just easier to go to work and want to work there. Over a Fast Food Restaurant is all I am saying.
    I am on my third week on the job, and all is going well, I am learning very quickly, and liking it each day. The customers are different to deal with the bosses  are as well. The job entails many things that are different but the same. I am catching on pretty well, now that I am set I hope I can continue down this road. I believe I have found where I belong in this working world. Time will only tell in the end.
     I have always said that you have to try before you deny yourself to see if you can do it. Well I have tried and I have liked, therefore I continue on this path that is before me. Everyone it is scary to start something you haven't had experience in, However don't let those fears control you, in the end you will find out that you are capable of doing the things you want, easier then you think.
     Believe in yourself and you will go far, in the end you won't wonder what if, but you will know.
You are your own brick wall, you are your own hero, and above all you are your own person. Don't let others tell you what your not capable of doing, or what you are capable of doing. You won't know unless you try it yourself in the end like me you may surprise yourself.

Love the USA however this is about freedom our four fathers faught for! Where is it going?

    I have a few issues I have to get out there, and though I may be wrong I feel strongly that my point is right. If we don't watch it we aren't going to have our freedom much longer, Lets begin shall we.....

1) Freedom of choice where is that gone to?

        Part of freedom was to make our own choices, however they have been taken that away little by little and people do not realize when they vote against certain things and for certain things they are not only taking others freedom of choice away but their own as well.

         It started with guns laws, where is that lead us to. Only officials and criminals are basically allowed to carry them. People that make one little mistake that is hardly enough to have their gun rights taken way have had it done, EXAMPLE; first account domestic violence. You can not carry a weapon or gun. Nor can you get a job that requires you to carry a gun because of a domestic violence charge on you, Now wait a minute I myself can carry a gun and I myself have no such charge on me, though this doesn't imply me it does effect me.... I don't like that, it should be consider on how high the charge is, was the person violent with a weapon, if not this should not imply to them etc:

       Our right to choose to smoke or not, that is getting out of hand to, I am indeed a smoker so this does effect me, we should have the right to smoke. It has gotten to the point that business's will not even hire smokers, and if they should you are not allowed to smoke near, around or on the premises of such business. Other business's own their building but do not have a choice anymore if they want their business to be smoking or non smoking..... WRONG if you own your business it should be your CHOICE to have it smoking or non smoking, that should not have been allowed to be passed in some if at all any states. Listen up people if you take others choices away what makes you think they will not take your away to.... alcohol will be targeted next believe it or not it will eventually, or other enjoyable social habits will. How much more are we going to take. Oh don't worry the buck doesn't stop here keep reading on.

     Our right to carry our AMERICAN flag where ever we want to,...... ummm this should be  a given but apparently there are some places/people out there that feel that carring or showing  the USA flag can offend someone... ummm well if it does let me tell you this...I am not racist by any means, however if you come to this country respect our rights, our FREEDOM, Our FLAG! You came here....
                                                               

Patriotic “Flag Boy” gets Parade — & Apology!

                                                       

                                                              HELLO THE TIME TO WAKE UP WOULD BE NOW PEOPLE!!!!!

OBAMACARE REQUIRES RFID CHIP IMPLANTED FOR PATIENTS BY MARCH 2013--------------------------------------------------------------------------                  More and more each day we lose our rights by choices you all make when voting, however its not everyone's choice.... by taken some body elses choices away your only slowly taking your own away to... wake up people, we are not in a freedom country anymore... We can not choose to watch what we want to watch when we want to watch it. We can not just go anywhere anymore that we want to. Foreigners can get in this country easier still and make it big here is America then our own Americans can! Don't get me wrong I do not mind this ... however I do mind when it is harder for our own American people to gain any thing in their own country, but a stranger from somewhere else can move right in and prosper quickly with help from our government and our tax dollars.... ? Can anyone else see there is a problem there...           

              There is so much more to be said there is so much more proof out there that our freedom is being slowly taken away from us, Our FOUR FATHER'S and even our men and women of today fought and fight  to give us freedom, yet everyday we sadly let it slip away...... with out even a worry, care, or another thought.. so I say to you all the next time you go vote for something or against something that may or may not effect you, why don't you stop and think.... our we ok taking other peoples CHOICES away from them just because we don't or do like something... If you don't like smokers ok, fine, no body makes you hang around them, you don't like to go to a smokey restaurant or place then find another place to go or hey here is a clue,,,, go make your own place open it up and have the CHOICE TO MAKE IT NON SMOKING!                 

              This is not just about the Non smoking state I live in, I have been against that law since when I fist heard about it, However What I am upset about is how little people care about their rights.. We can not even have GOD in our schools anymore however other children because of their reg-lion can have their CHOICE to study their own religious beliefs at their will in our schools. How is that right... there is so much that we people WE THE PEOPLE are allowing ourselves to be blind to...

Buying a house! Be ready for the stress with in the fun of it!

    Buying a house can be fun, but very stressful. Between discussing business with your banker (loan officer), realtor, and maybe even getting to meet the owners of the house that is for sale its a ball game anyone can win and lose at.
     There are many options, many choices, and above all many houses to seek out and then choose the best that fits you and your family. It is a big step a commitment you should be ready to make before you jump into it.
     Make sure you go in with all the facts and how to's before you just run out and look at your homes, this will make things so much easier, Consult your banker and your realtor ask questions even if you think they are stupid or awkward. It's their job to inform you on what to do and how to do it correctly.  Save yourself lots of stress and headaches by educating yourself about home buying.
     Home buying is fun, however make sure your not going into it for wrong reasons, that you are indeed ready for the payments. Good ideas to take with you before you close on a house is ask about closing cost, earnest money, See if you can get the closing cost paid for by the sellers, Ask how much on average is the earnest money if any is needed. make sure you know what your banker and your plans as well as your realtors plans are. Be honest, firm and above all serious about your requests,needs and must haves in your home.... Get something you will love, this will be your home for the rest of your life.
     Do research on the homes you are thinking about buying, do not rush it, there is nothing like rushing into a home YOU think you like, only to find out a few months maybe a couple years later your not as happy as you thought you would be... with your home..Therefore be sure to find the right home for you, make sure you find a realtor that works for you and cares about your needs, one that tells you the truth about homes rather then sugar coats them to make a sell.
    DON'T sign anything with a realtor until you know that the realtor is one you will like and be able to build a business relationship with. If your not comfortable with the realtor... it's ok to move on from them... Just don't sign any realtor to being your agent until you are sure he/she is right for you. Your realtor is as important as the house you will be buying....ABOVE all do not look at any house without your own realtor.... don't be fooled into dealing with the sellers realtor find your own realtor that doesn't have anything to do with the sellers or the home you are interested in. Unless the sellers realtor is your own realtor, the one you already have built a trusting relationship with.
      Again I add take your time, breathe, never make an offer without consulting banker and your realtor first and don't make offers in front of sellers or their realtors. Also go into every house as if your really not interested in it put your poker face on and leave it there... Oh and leave the excitement at home. Good luck house hunting... have fun!

How to get old debts off your Credit Report!

     I am writing this to make it more knowledgeable to those who have no clue about their Credit Reports. Did you know that in many states there is a limit to how long a debt can be placed on your report? Well there is. I live in a state that says the debts can only be on your report for 6 years, after that they need to be removed. However many companies that hold your debt, won't remove them..... In fact they rather not as long as they are on there then your credit report will show the results and therefore continue to give you bad credit. These companies hope that this will help collect the debt, for your credit will be negative and you will have a hard time buying or using your credit to better yourselves.
      I have done research up on research about this, and it has helped me. I want to share this with everyone in hopes to get these companies to rethink what they are doing. Companies know that theses laws are out there, they also know they have to abide by the law... however if no one asks then how will anyone who counts know to do anything about it, if they don't remove it. On another note, if the debtors do not know about the laws or so called rules, and just let it happen the companies can get away with it more and more. So in a way I am doing a public awareness, and notice to help you help yourself.
      With out further a do, I will tell you first, get a copy of your Credit Report, (not score) then look to see what is on this credit report, if the debt is questionable then you need to dispute it first and foremost. You can do this several ways one while looking at your report there usually is a dispute button near or next to the debt, depending on what internet company you are searching the report through, if not there should be directions on the website to tell you how to do so. Then print out a copy of your report, You can go to these Credit Report online sites, some of them are free and some of them charge a little fee. (Make sure you get a copy of your report from all 3 bureaus AKA -TransUnion, Experian, Equifax)

Free Credit Reports sites:

True Credit

Free Credit Report
Annual Credit Report

      There are many free credit report sites out there and your free to look at them with out it hurting your report or score. Once you have printed out your report, and have disputed some of your reporting debts if they are indeed worthy of disputing. Do not easily think you are done after disputing the few you have, now here is the thing just because you disput it on the website doesn't mean they will listen, now what you need to do is this.

       Look at all the dates when the debt had been placed on your credit report, if the dates are longer then at least six years old chances are they are to old to be able to be validated... you need to write the collection companies to validate the debt, do not admit you owe the debt but also do not, not admit  you owe the debt if that makes sense. Chances are the debt is so old that they will not be able to validate the debt and will have to remove it. However in this off chance that they can not validate it, then you have to wait 30 days after asking them to validate it and then send them a request to remove the debt from your credit report. Also even if they validate it, there is also a chance it can be a zombie debt... yes I said it, a zombie debt and in this case you may be able to get it removed still..., so here is how to do the validation and the zombie debt letters and further help on the Credit Report clearing. This resource I found and is very helpful. It is where I got my info and I want to share it with everyone...

Now that I have supplied some information here for you I hope more and more people out there will be more knowledgeable about their credit. If you know someone that needs help lead them this way, or to the sites I have shared with you... More accurate info is on the sites I have supplied, I hope I have helped someone out there in any event!
Thank you!

Pizza Cake, ok well with small changes,,,,, HA HA!

    Anyway went to make a pizza cake, for my brothers b day cake. However he likes chocolate cake, so I decided, I would make a burnt looking pizza by making it with the chocolate cake mix.. then For the sauce of the pizza instead of making it easier on my self and buying red icing, I just decided to get white frosting and red food dye..... well it turned pink as I assumed but hoped it wouldn't.....(lesson learned just buy the red frosting next time.... ).

   All in all the cake turned out ok, it tasted great.... what did I put on it you ask that is easy peasy!
I used fruit roll ups for the peperoni, whoppers for the sausage, gummy worms for the green and red peppers and of course got white chocolate bakers bars for the cheese then shredded them like the cheese. It taste great, I got the idea from my step son...... he made them once and placed them on face book to share with everyone, at that moment I decided that was going to be my brothers b day cake as he LOVES him some pizza almost on the daily, why not have a pizza cake lol.

   Great fun ideas with a little mix never hurt anyone at all.. So to get some ideas look around ya they are all over and so easy to learn as the internet is full of ideas, if you have any you would like to share please comment I always love to bake and learn new recipes and improvements as well...

Romance, Fever, sharing and caring.... Slowly reveal the real in each other!

    Sometimes in our lives, your two hearts meet as one, You feel the need to explain and let each other know just how much you mean to each other, Asking about your lovers past is not wrong, it shows interest, with the right kind of trust and interest, they will tell you, You must not show jealousy for it is a life before you, what is in their life now is what counts, and hearing their past helps you to trust each other more as well as learn about the others wrongs that can be prevented in yours now, My husband and I have share these thoughts feelings once in a great while, just out of the blue, it is nice to learn something new about your partner, so never rush their past up on you, share it every once in a great while so your interest in each other feels a new once again! There is always something you will be surprised to learn about your partner if you keep it somethings untold for a later time.... Nothing ever says you have to share everything right away! But Sharing can bring you closer, if its given at the right time.
      In the meantime enjoy each other, show not tell each other how you feel, learn about your partner not only emotionally, but mentally and sexually as well. There is so much more to a person then what you seen on the outside. You must search with in ones self before you can expect your partner to reach out and share with you to, explore each other in every way, leave no stone unturned. However do it respectfully and both in agreement. Never push maybe you need to open the door and give a little information, before they will open up to you, if they do not open up right away that is ok, give it time. Relations are meant to be built up over time not in a day or night... Take it slow.

Pam Tillis Let that Pony Run lyrics Great song!

Mary was married with children,
had the perfect suburban life,
'til her husband came clean with the help of Jim Beam
and confessed all his sins one night.
Said he'd fallen in love with a barmaid,
said she made him feel reckless and young.
And when he got through, what else could she do?
She just let that pony run.

(chorus)
'Cause you do what you gotta do,
and you know what you know.
You hang on till you can't hang on,
then you learn to let go.
You get what you want sometimes,
but when it's all said and done,
you do what you gotta do
then you let that pony run.

Now Mary moved to West Virginia,
after the shock wore off.
She got a divorce and a chestnut horse
and a barn with an old hayloft.
Sometimes she rides down by the river,
said it makes her feel reckless and young.
She just closes her eyes, and she holds on tight,
and she lets that pony run.

Youngest first interview

Ghost of Grandpa 1999

Nephew Jason, visited by what I believe to be our Grandpa Hatch in 98 -99. To welcome Baby Jason into the family..This picture has been annualized by professionals and they all agree it has not been altered in anyway. I also know it hasn't been altered in any way because I was the one who took the picture myself, This ghost like figure could not be seen with the naked eye, only after developing the film did I notice this,

Cure Kids Cancer! A way I would like to help and a way you could to.

    Yes just as the title says, I would like to help in every possible way, So I came up with a plan.... Yes it is my Birthday today, but today I am not thinking of myself, I am thinking of the children, teens, young adults and adults going through treatments and life with Cancer.  My grandma died of Cancer as so many have in the past, and yet today we see many out their still suffering.
     I may not have much money, and my problems are considerably small compared to those who deal with cancer everyday of their life. Many have donated money to help the cause, and that I am grateful for. I also remember that sometimes a gift to a child or young adult can be just as helpful, So on my Birthday I have decided that I am going to start making blankets, and pillows handmade with fabric.
The materials are not as expensive as one would think, but for one person to make as many as I intend to make it can be a big expense. Our Kids castle here in Sioux falls houses many children with Cancer, and sometimes they don't see exactly what others donate to them in the sense of money, Some to young to even know where all the money to help them come from or that anyone at all is helping them. This is where the gifts of the blankets and pillows come in. They will remember and understand a gift such as this to comfort them in their greatest time of need.
    I want to be able to be close to those children, I want them to know people out their may not know them but do care enough to show them they are thinking and loving them as well as praying for them.
I am going to start making these blankets and pillows with in the week, It cost about $15.00 dollars for enough material to make a pillow or blanket for one person. I can do this alone, however it will be a very slow and long process, with out help with funds or materials, I am not asking anyone who doesn't want to help for anything, and those who do feel they would like to help in this project may do so. By either sending materials to me, or donating money to my blog here. there is a donate button to the right of this page. I am not asking for $15.00 per person, I am only asking for what you can and feel comfortable in sending to help with this project, all money/materials collected will be funding the project fully 100%. If you would like to send materials please contact me and I will let you know where you can send them.
    If you would like to make blankets and pillows, feel free to contact me to get the information you will need to send your gift to them yourself. I will also be posting pictures of the gifts that I make that you are helping with. There is no greater good that one can do then to give to a child, What I will get out of this is the greatest satisfaction in the world, to see the child have a smile, and love the gifts I bring them.... and what greater way to help my purpose then to give materials at the least....
   I am going to be looking for children's patterns, Toy Story fabric, Princess fabric, Sports Fabric etc: Flowers, animal print, soft and cuddle fabric. I usually buy a yard and a half of to different fabrics, to sew together for the blanket. I then buy a yard of matching fabric to one of the two fabrics from the blanket  to make the pillow.... I usually make a body pillow or a normal sized pillow for a bed. So these are just a few ideas for those of you who would like to help.

Remember if you don't want to donate to this project, start a project yourself and give the gift of love to a child or someone in need, the thought alone will mean the world to them, and they will remember it for a life time. Check your local Hospitals and other areas to see what you can do to help to.
    
THIS IS STRICTLY FOR DONATIONS TOWARDS CHILDREN'S CANCER! ANY HELP IS GREATLY NEEDED AND APPRECIATED.

Haven't written in a while but that is because a lot has happened since the last time.

    Little man Angel got sick with RSV well I got it in return and was out for at least a month or so with it myself, I am still healing from it, though I am better from the RSV itself, I have sinus and allergies that reacted as well right after. That alone is enough to put you down again.
    I just recently also took my eldest daughter to get her wisdom teeth taken out, actually this morning to be completely accurate with the day. She is doing fine, and the surgery went very well. She is on her way to mending quickly. Before all that went on though and after the I got the RSV virus, my youngest got it to, so I had to take care of her to. What a mess it was the last two months.
    On a lighter note, I can not complain to much at all about the weather here, it was and is still very awesome... I am looking for spring, and summer to get here, I am pretty sure we are already well on your way to both lol.
    Hope to write again with updates on everything, yes still working out the kinks on my website, it is up, it just needs the minor and more tougher details that will take me the longest to get done... Thanks once again for reading.... and till next time.

RSV FLU whatever it is was, I am glad I am through it to!

   My nephew was sick a few weeks ago, I did not know at the time that he had RSV, I gave him his usual kiss good night when I left his house... the next day he goes into the hospital with RSV.

      I did not get sick right away, in fact it took a couple of days, I started to feel it, and knew I caught it. Not a nice thing to get btw, but it was my nephew what could I do.. I still love him.... I went to visit him as much as I could when he was in the hospital, I ll tell you I was not feeling very well at all. By that weekend I was in bed not getting out of it at all. My children and husband were very helpful and for  the most part quiet for me. They let me sleep, and get the rest I needed. Thank you family!
     Angel cake buttermilk biscuit got better and was released that Friday,he spent a week in the hospital. Once he was out I should of went in lol. But I did not. I laid in bed and refused to go near him as I did not want to give it to him back or give something worse to him. He grew stronger as I grew weaker, but he was healthy again and that is what mattered most.

      While I was still on the mend come Monday, I was taking my children to get their stuff done including but not limited to getting my youngest daughters hair done, she was so happy.... she paid for it herself, with the money she worked for from her Uncles business.

     So I was feeling much better, and felt I was good to go, thought to take a nice picture of both my daughters. So proud of them... they were being so good, and helpful love them so much. Here they are being good and funny and for once Sisterly!

     Then after a couple more days, I started feeling like I had a sinus infection, which I knew also comes with the Flu or RSV.. when your body is at the lowest something always come up after.... and well I caught a bacterial infection there after, it floored me as well. I took a few antibiotics that I had from the last one, but because they were old they helped but not as much as they could if they were fresher.. So off to acute care I went and saw the Doctor, they updated my meds, and sent me on my way...  Now 3 weeks later, after the Flu/RSV I had, and fighting this Infection now, I am on my way to fully mending.. Thank the heavens for the help they gave my nephew in getting better, and my youngest who caught some infection as well (she got better quicker and through it faster),and of course the help they provided me with,.
     Noticed hubby came down with something to, hope he will get better fast to without to much fuss I ask for the heavens to help him through it to. All in all those that are sick I pray you get better quickly, Those who are well I pray you stay that way, Those that have been sick I pray you remain sick free for the rest of the year. God Bless and remember be nice to one another, love not war, selfless not selfish... These are things that help the world become a little nicer and less hateful and stressful.

The Mothers Song — Jean Auel The Sheltor Of Stone

                         

The Mother's Song!
Out of the darkness, the chaos of time,  The whirlwind gave birth to the Mother sublime, She woke to Herself knowing life had great worth, The dark empty void grieved the Great Mother Earth.
From the dust of Her birth She created the other, A pale shining friend, a companion, a brother. They grew up together, learned to love and to care, And when She was ready, they decided to pair.   Around Her he'd hover. Her pale shining lover.
She was happy at first with Her one counterpart. Then the Mother grew restless, unsure in Her heart. She loved Her fair Friend, Her dear complement, But something was missing, Her love was unspent.
She was the Mother. She needed another.
She dared the great void, The chaos, the dark, To find the cold home of the life-giving spark. The whirlwind was fearsome, the darkness complete. Chaos was freezing, and reached out for Her heart.
The Mother was brave. The danger was grave.
She drew from cold chaos the creative source, Then conceiving within, she fled with life-force. She grew with the life that She carried inside. And gave of Herself with love and with pride.
The Mother was bearing. Her life She was sharing.
The dark empty void and the vast barren Earth, With anticipation, awaited the birth. Life drank from Her blood, it breather from Her bones. It split Her skin open and sundered Her stones.
The Mother was giving. Another was living.
Her gushing birth waters filled rivers and seas, And flooded the land, giving rise to the trees. From each precious drop new grass and leaves grew, And lush verdant plants made all the Earth new.
Her waters were flowing, New green was growing.
In violent labor spewing fire and strife, She struggled in pain to give birth to new life. Her dried clotted blood turned to red-ochred soil, But the radiant child made it all worth the toil.
The Mother's great joy. A bright shining boy.
Mountains rose up spouting flames from their crests, She nurtured Her son from Her mountainous breasts. He suckled so hard, the sparks flew high, The Mother's hot milk laid a path through the sky.
His life had begun. She nourished Her son.
He laughed and he played, and he grew big and bright. He lit up the darkness, the Mother's delight. She lavished Her love, he grew bright and strong, But soon he matured, not a child for long.
Her son was near grown, His mind was his own.
She took from the source for the life She'd begun. Now the cold empty void was enticing Her son. The Mother gave love,But the youth longed for more, For knowledge, excitement, to travel,explore.   Chaos was Her foe. But her son yearned to go.




This is just  a little sample of the mothers song that can be found in the book by Jean M. Auel. My all time favorite writer, there really has never been another to surpass her from my favorite, The book that this is from is called the Shelter of Stone, this is her 5th book in the series of 6.

Angel Cake in the hospital, RSV you are so bad!

  Praying for my nephew to get better, was admitted to the hospital yesterday for the RSV bug. I hate it when the children are sick at anytime, however when it is something like this I hate it even more. Hoping now that he is in the hospital he will heal more quickly and get better. I already miss him, and I have seen him tonight but that does not do my worry any good.
   As his Auntie, I feel that I am close to him as he needs those around him to lift his spirits up. As he is in the hospital most of his living life so far. The months out of the hospital have been great but he does get sick more often then most kids. I only hope this changes as he gets older, If you have ever read my earlier postings about my nephew here on my blog you would know why and what I am talking about.
   My nephew wasn't even suppose to live past 3 weeks to a year, with his left front part of his brain dead, and thought to be blind and not able to hear or walk, and talk. With a shunt in his head to release the water in his brain, he has proved all of them wrong thus far.. I only truly hope he is strong as he seems to be.... but how much more can a little 2 year old take. He only knows pain most the time so to him it is normal. The days with out pain he welcomes and his happy none the less. Never know when he is hurting as he is just a great kid that doesn't know how to let you know. He has mastered more with pain in his two years of life then most in their entire life span. What a little brave man we have in our lives and we thank God for him every day,,,, at least I do. He can hear, speak, see, and think and is so very smart, no one knows there is anything wrong with him unless we tell them ourselves.... God has made a miracle through him, thus faith will always be known in my heart mind and soul that God does exist.

Hubby home for the weekend dinner with my brothers family!

   All kinds of things are happening how wonderful is that. Spent a wonderful weekend with the husbands and kids, movies and games, dinner to. Could not ask for more, all healthy and doing well. So been real busy this whole week kind of feel like I need a long break and a me time kind of day! Got to take puppy's in tomorrow for their shots and hope that they do well.
   Other then that nothing much to tell that is why I haven't written anything much lately. Still trying to transfer files from my old PC to my new I MAC, takes time considering the husband or kids are on the PC at most times, hoping to be able to transfer tomorrow as well with a day off just for me. Can not sleep the day away like I usually like to do HA! but never the less it will be busy tomorrow just like always it is. Guess once the kids get older it gets easier however you become taxi driver more an more.
   Taxi Driving isn't so bad when it is for your children, but it gets old quickly, I would rather take them myself anyway. There will be plenty of me time when they have moved out and on with their own lives. Then they will be calling me to taxi the grand-kids around ha ha ha ! Got to love them all kids, grand-kids, nephews and nieces, they are gifts not to be taken for granted.God blessed them all!

Husbands b day yesterday, New iMac for me today!

   So I am happy to tell you hubbies b day went off with a blast he got my computer, new game, went out to eat, and will be getting a new graphics card for the computer he got. It is basically new only a couple years old.
    Today I got my new mica, it was the deal we made long ago if I get my mac he gets my computer I couldn't resist the deal so I got my mac today he got my computer a couple of days ago. It all went well for both of us. He is a great husband and I would not trade  him for the world. Just awesome at everything and more.

Is he right for you, how can you tell if he is the one? Here is a few tips to find out.

   Frist and for most when you invite him over does he want to spend it watching a movie, wants to talk, or just hang out with you... or rather still does he want to play x-box......? Well, the answer is simple, if he is playing xbox, or even computer games, etc: you are looking at your new future, a forever case of playing xbox, is his way of thinking is that if I am home, or around you I am spending time with you.... therefore no reason to complain... Is this the guy you want to spend the rest of your life with?
   If he comes over and does different things with you, like watch a movie one night, play board/card games the next time, hangs out with you another time, then xbox on another night then you can fairly say he likes the games, but he also makes a point in trying to spend equal time with me. Is this the type a guy you want to be with for the rest of your life?
   If he takes you out on dates and spends time with you  at home or out, then you have a pretty decent guy,even if he plays video games on whatever system. Is this the type a guy you want to spend the rest of your life with?
    I figure my man is the last option here, and I am willing to spend my life with him. Marriage doesn't mean you have to spend every momenet together doing something together. The relationship will quickly go down hill fairly quickly. However my man works a lot and deserves hours of play which is fine with me, he also makes sure that he spends time with family and spends time doing other things. He does not always play games but it is a big part of his life, but I am a bigger part of that and he makes sure I know that.  This is the type of guy I want to spend the rest of my life with.
     SO WHICH GUY DO YOU HAVE OR WHICH GUY DO YOU WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH?

Just a few ways to lose a man fairly quickly..... am I right?

   1.    Text him over 200 times a day or more.
   2.    Text him threatening msgs over 200 times a day or more.
   3.    Call him every name in the  book everyday,
   4.    Have children you can turn against him,
   5.    Isolate him away from his family through out the whole time of the relationship,
   6.    Call his family harsh names that you think will anger them as well as him,
   7.    Harass his family and close friends, until they hate you,
   8.    Harass and call his family members and him 200 time or more a day,
   9.    Call the cops on him for everything,
 10.    Find ways to put him in jail, then put him in jail,
 11.    Be very phycially, mentally, and verbally abusiveness towards him.
 12.    Follow him in your car, all over even while he is working.
 13.    Go to his work and sit out in front of his job for hours on end,
 14.    Climb on his vehicle better if its his work vehicle and refuse to move until he talks to you,
 15.    Track his phone and computer and anything else you can so you can keep track of him,

 There are so many other ways to lose a man, I will think of more and update this list as they come... good luck in trying to lose your man to! These are sure fire ways to get a start anyway... specially if you start from the beginning of the relationship...Good Luck with that!

Happy B Day once again, My Angel Cake ButterMilk Biscuit !

       Yes he is Two today, what an amazing little guy he is. For someone with as many problems as he had/has he sure as let all the doctors and nurses know it is not so just because they said it was so, but it is what it is because God said it was so. Again I remind those who do not remember or know about my Angel of a nephew, he wasn't suppose to be here they said if he is born alive he will live only 3 weeks to possibly a year. Well it is his two year birth day today...... ummm shows the miracles God can do doesn't it.
     His left side of his front of brain is dead, However he is smarter then most kids his age, He is a little slow in the walking talking area, but he has no problem communicating with us, or anyone else for that matter. He does talk a little and he is walking with help, but that is only because he still is a little scared to do it on his own. He will get there in his own time.
    By looking at him you wouldn't guess what he has already been through in his life he looks and acts just like any normal child his age should. They said he wouldn't be able to hear, speak or even see. Yet he does all these things and more.  They said he would be mentally ill for all his life, yet here he is more normal then we all would ever imagine. A child that has felt pain most his life feels happy and alive everyday, even when he is at his sickest he still finds a way to make himself and others around him happy. Pain to him is his normal day to day life, but it is not his life..... he has the most wonderful parents who give him all he needs and more, and he has joy and love from all that come around him as he gives it back just the same if not more.
     He is my angel cake butter milk biscuit, not because he just acquired it from me, but because he is an angel from god to all of us, and his feet, cheeks and hands taste like butter milk biscuits... lol. Auntie loves her Angel Cake and no one can and will ever change that, I loved him at hello, the moment I set eyes on him, and he stole my heart right there and then, and he does refuse to give it back to me. I do not mind this.... my nephew, How lucky we are to have you in our lives each and everyday! Happy Birthday Angel from God!

                                   This picture was taking two weeks or so ago, He and my oldest were playing on the floor, and he bumped his hard head on her nose, and looks up at me as if to say "DID I DO THAT!"

Winter Finally shows its self! You all happy now! I am not lol!

    Well you all wanted it, and here it is.... now what are you going to do with it but complain about it!
I dislike snow, a little is ok, but truly I was looking forward to a brown winter honestly. However I still can not complain to much as it is still better then what we have had in the last two years just dreadful.
    Though it is cold, and we have had a few windy cold days, it has been rather nice I have to admit. Now though I see when I woke up this morn, that the snow fell while I slept, and continues to snow through out the day today. Hoping that work calls and says I do not have to come in today, but that won't be likely, Oh nothing says you can not wish....
     In the mean time husbands home has been since Tuesday been nice to have him here, it is not often he gets to be home more then a day or so... so when we get the chance to have him home for  a few days that is when we take advantage of it. maybe today will be a nice enough snow day that the kids will want to go slide down the hills, I know 14 and 17 it will be hard to convince them to do so... one last time before adulthood Ha Ha! Mise well make do with this snow as much as we can

    Enjoy your winter those wished for snow and have had their wishes come true..... but I ll tell you , Brown winter I want you back..... If you want snow move to Alaska lol.. Just kidding!

Mice oh my what some people think,

    Ok so some mice are cute, and soft and fluffy, they are small and very active at times. They have beady little eyes and a nose that wiggles.  I think they are rather cute creatures, with a purpose in life, every thing has one right. Well so do these little guys, though they are a very low ranking on the food chain, and yes they can be dirty and filthy, as well as carry deceases. But doesn't every body and every thing else to. I mean really take a look, humans aren't the cleanest beings on earth you know.... I have watched Hoarders, and many other shows... as well as been in a lot of homes that were just down right filthy. We also have our fare share of deceases as well.
   So mice are not much different then we are, You can have the cleanest house in the world and still have mice. There is no doubt about that, However some people make me laugh when they panic over a harmless little mouse that is just doing what it has to do to survive in a world so big and luxurious as ours. They would be stupid not to take advantage of that situation, so remember next time you kill that mouse in your house.... do it, but do it respectfully.... who knows you may come back as a mouse in your next life.
     Some people are so scared of mice that they have to call a family member over to clean the mouse traps, then refuse to use the same trap over cause it has germs on it... makes me laugh because ok yes it has germs on it but I am not eating off it, and it can be washed... and for  another thing I can use it a few more time before I throw it out and just go waste more money on a new one that is going to get all germ-ed up again.... Some people can be pretty petty about small ridiculous things such as that.         
     However there are real people out there with phobias for mice and rats and any other creature the like there of. This is ok, I understand that, however when some people are just being ridiculous to be ridiculous, and to feel and sound important, then they need some serious reality checks. People life is to short to worry about little creatures like that, deal with them and get them out of your life, and move on. But again I say do it respectfully, to yourself and to others. There is no reason to make such a big who ha deal over mice or other rodents that are in your home, chances are they were there before you even moved in to the home, chances are there was nothing you did, to cause them to come to your home. Get the job done, don't make a fuss... you get what you get and don't throw a fit...... there you have it...
     Be a big person your not a child anymore, grown ups have to do things they don't want to do all the time, like get  a job, and work all their lives... They have relatives with illnesses they have to worry about, Bills to pay etc: I can go on and on... there are more serious matters to worry about, then a mouse in your house, and where is my husband and who is he talking to.... and how can I keep track of him...... Its called growing up and facing reality,... that the world.... is to big of a place to revolve around just you, there is a bigger part out there that you should be doing, and your not because your wasting your life that was given to you by doing childish stupid things and worrying about all the wrong things. Move on, deal with it, grow up, dry your eyes and do what you have to do to live the way that is healthy for you and your family... that is with you. Get the mice out of your house and continue on the path you need to be on and stop worrying about foolish things.
    God bless the mice, God bless my readers, and most of all God bless everyone else.

     Two mice so pretty !

Back to school once again, this summer whoot!

      I am going to go back to school this summer to take a couple of courses, psychology and my English course, to get them out of the way, I also plan on taking a couple more classes in the fall, so then I can ease right into my spring classes for Graphics again. So excited and I can not wait for it awesomeness right .... So happy!

Making the cakes is so fun, But my hands freeze after two !

   Yes it is fun to work where I work, with all the desserts that I get to make, for so many it just plain awesome. I have learned how to make every dessert now, so proud of myself, and I do take great pride in making them. It is art to me, to make something with ice cream, and see the enjoyment of those that get to eat it. A childs face lights up to a dilly bar or the ice cream cone that I hand them.
    My worse pet peeve however is seeing someone else make a cone or dessert and it doesn't look good at all. I feel the need to go over there and show them exactly how to do it right. It takes practice none the less, but take some pride in what you do and make it the best,, the correct way! I was taught by my first Manager/Owner of their Dairy Queen a long time ago, and they showed us to take pride in our desserts and make them the right way, So I try to teach anyone that will listen or want to know how to do it correctly, And with time they will get it. PRACTICE PRACTICE is all that it takes.
     I recently learned how to make the cakes, I was beginning to make cakes a long time ago, but never really learned it as I left the company before the lesson was achieved fully. Now however I have learned and let me tell you.... it is fun, but Boy does my hands freeze after doing just two of them. The silver rings that the ice cream lays on get really cold really fast, and it doesn't help that they are in the freezer before you start even putting ice cream in , on and around them. In the end if I get frost bite from them, it will be worth as we make over 20 some cakes a day just to meet the demand.

  Cakes are fun to make, I do not decorate them as you see them here, but I do make it completely, But it is the process before the decor that counts just as much as the decor itself! 

Sometimes in our life we just need to let it all out!

     What do I mean, well when we are happy we need to let it out, when we are sad we need to let it all out, when we are confused, angry, or what ever emotion we are feeling ..... we need to let it all out. How does one do that sanely. Is this the question? Well then lets start there, to let it all out sanely, is not has hard as it seems to be.. if your a hiker, in the mountains yell your emotion out there in the wide open. If you are a private person, and like the private of a bedroom then let it out there.Scream, yell, laugh, love what ever the emotion let it out.
      Who dare ask why, if they don't know then it is not important to them to care. All that matters is you, and how you feel and how you care. Bottling up emotions good or bad is never good for ones soul. To be sane you have to let your emotions go sometimes. Privately if you must or publicly if you like. I on the other hand base it on what emotion I am having, and then I ll let it out where I feel it is appropriate to do so at.
       Sometimes just talking to someone else, someone you know, someone you don't know, someone you call a friend or maybe someone you would call an enemy. What ever your dealing with good or bad let it out, That is what is important here. I for one, use to bottle it all up until I would just explode with mixed emotions, good bad ugly what ever it is...... all that emotion gets mixed up and then finally it just burst and you don't even know why your upset, or over worked up for. LET IT OUT.....
       Letting it out, alone or with someone is fine.. but most of all be safe about it, and be responsible about it. I think Anger and Sadness is the worse emotions, to let out. Because some people, get very angry and can not control their anger,same with sadness  if this is one of you, then maybe talking to a psychologist would do you some good. Talking to a psychologist isn't a bad thing you know, they are there to help you help yourself by listening to you and giving you suggestions or even finding better help measures for you. Be it meds or other means. But letting it out with them is better then anyone really.
         I am a happy person, but I to have my bad days, we all do and those who say they don't well we all know people tend to lye. These are the people that we will notice need more help then the most of us. I only wish and pray for all to be able to be happy and full of joy, but even now this is not our world we live in. It is full of anger, war, hate, violent stuff. But good people exist still, and as long as they do then well there is hope yet. Isn't there?

What is that saying... All work no play Makes Jack a very dull boy!

     Well I see what that saying truly means, lol. As I feel that is all I do anymore, work on the website, work at work, work on my EPUB, and work in the house to clean... ahhhh this is what dull is lol. That is ok in the end it will be all worth it.
      Currently taking a small break on the website,Epub, and what not so that I can relax and come back to it. I may even have to take a break from the blog for a bit an so forth just to get my bearing once again. I will try to do my best, to keep you all informed of my doings, and my life interest as best I can. I have already weaned myself off of FV and Sims Social for now. That has seemed to help get my mind back into my work, now my mind wants back off that wagon lol..... its ok we will find common ground soon I am sure of it.

Website box model is complete, Now working out the kinks and adding more ! lol

So I have been working on my site, and well I have to admit it is coming along nicely, with a little more twinking here and there I should have it finished in no time. The first page is always the one that takes the longest as it is your base for the whole site. Every thing else meaning other pages are basically the same..with just switching pictures and info around and exchanging etc:

I am mostly using css and most likely will turn first page into a style sheet so all others follow that lead, or the theme of the page. Then all I have to do is link the other pages to that style sheet and I ll be more or less done, however I still have to add and exchange things but won't take nearly as long as setting the first page up.

Here is a quick look at what I have so far, however the black boxes won't be in the final. Think of it as a map to let me know where everything should go, once I got everything in place I ll delete the black borders around the boxes so you will not be able to tell its in a box model.

        So with all that being said, I am hoping to be finished or darn near finished by the end of next weekend. Also working on my book still watching lots of videos on how to EPUB my book from indesign. I think I finally found the right one that I want to use for my Epub, as there are several ways and styles to make a EPUB book in indesign.
     
        So with that being said, my friends, fans and family I hope you had a safe and happy fun NEW YEAR! I hope this year is a great year, it is however what you make it, right..... lets go into it, with a great big blast of LOVE,PEACE,AND FAITH!
