Hallowen

Well another Halloween is over with. This will probably be her last year. We took her to the mall this year and to a church for trunk or treat. She won't walk up to the houses to trick or treat. A couple of years ago she got the bejezees scared out of her so now she's scared to walk to the doors. So I won't have to be aggravated by it anymore unless it's a party to go to.

Bob started another job. I hope to God this one is a better company and the checks will be consistant and not up and down all the time. This last company he worked at , I don't know how any of the drivers made a living driving for them. They don't give them enough miles. He sat a lot with them and when a driver is sitting they are not making any money.

Other than that not much else going on.

Bad Blogger

I can't believe it's been over a month since I blogged. Not much really to blog about I suppose. We just been sitting at home not doing much. At the end of September we had the family reunion. It was fun. Quite a few people came this year. Several of them was the first time they had come to it.

We just stay home and compute and homeschool. She's working harder on math right now. Maybe she has finally come to realize she has to learn it and may as well try anyway. LOL That wouldn't be my luck.

Our furnace has been on the nlitz so I've been using the kerosene heater. It gives me headaches though. But it does warm it up.

I guess that's about it. Oh Jesse has been dog sitting this week. She made 50 bucks for it though. So she's in money heaven right now. LOL

See ya later

Oh What A Day (Yesterday that is)

Well I did a good one. I thought I had a blackhead on my face. Yes I am a masher, can't stand it. If I know I have one on me I just have to mash it. Well I went to the bathroom morrior and looked and it seemed to be one. NOT. I mash it and blood starts flowing out of the place. I have blood running down my cheek on my blouse and the floor and even my toe. LOL No it's not funny but now that you think of it you have to laugh or I do. So I have blood pouring and can't get it to stop and I have toilet paper in my hand applying pressure and it still isn't stopping. So I call mom. Mom what do I do? I can't get it to stop bleeding. So she tells me keep the pressure on it and lay on the couch flat. So I do that. I've went through toilet paper, 3 paper towels and laying on the couch with a fresh one. Jesse keeps bringing me a fresh one. So the next thing I know, knock, knock. It's mom and my step dad. So she looks at it and all and tells me you need to put ice on it. So Jesse gets some ice and a wash rag. I put that on there for a while. It starts to alow finally. I manage to get a little band aid on it and it flows over it. So I put another one on top of it. So now I really look freaky. I have a bloody shirt on and two band aids on my face. But it did stop bleeding . The only I can figure is instead of mashing a bump I cut a blood vein.

Then we go for a walk every evening. So I go do my thing to go. As I'm walking down the darn stairs I fall. Yep I fell down the porch steps. So my left leg goes up under and behind me at the same time, my right leg does something else and my hand is trying to catch the fall at the same time. Let me tell ya I had no idea my limba could even move into those positions anymore if they ever did. So I don't know what happened to make me fall. But I got up today and my feet are hurting, my anklles, my legs and my right hand. My middle finger is swollen and hurts like hell. So I guess I sprain it or bruised it badly.

Oh well days like this happen but it had been quite a while since it happened to me. LMAO

Fair

We went to the state fair on Monday with Michelle and Kaya. We went to the World Championship Horse Show and she loved it. It wasn't my cup of tes but the reason I went was for her.
It was my first time going to it. I have never wanted to go and didn't have the desire to go to it but it was kind of fun.

The rest of the week was spent at home just hanging out and homeschooling. Nothing glamorous. Oh we did go to Mom's for two days.

I got her health book and a new World History book. So we start those next week. Now I need to find her a good reading list.

I started getting more scrapping done, finally. I have been in such a funk lately and haven't really done any. I have kept up with my 365 and it has helped to scrap about thigs that have happened.

Well til next time
Be safe and be good

Tanner

Well we finally had to make the awful decision to have Tanner put down. He had two seizures Monday and another one Tuesday. They really did a number on him this time. He was acting different this time after having them and it lasted far longer than it had before. He wouldn't lay down, eat or sleep. He didn't use the bathroom for a day and a half. Do I called the vets office to take him in. I knew this time we would have to do it. We had thought of it before but never went through with it. I just couldn't don it, ya know. We got to the vet's and he looked at him and said he was healthy. Jesse told him about him being hit by the car last year and then he started having the seizures about 6 months later. He said that was probably what caused them and it was brain trauma. Well I kind of knew this. He talked to us about the seizures and meds. he said they may work or may not that he couls still have them. He also started talking about brain damage and that was why he probably didn't eat or go out. That the nerves in his brain had went haywire and he forgot how to. So he said it was more humane to have him put to sleep. (don't ya just love that damn term) So we decided to. Tanner seemed like he came around for just a few seconds and he looked at me with those big brown calf eyes he had as if to say It's ok mommy. Then he went back to the staring . So the vet gave him a sedative and when it started taking effect he had a small seizure and I held him in my arms and told him it was OK just go to sleep and the pain will stop. You won't suffer anymore puppy. He went to sleep after the sedative took effect. Then the vet gave him the shot. He layed in my arms til he went to sleep forever. He took three deep breaths and he was gone. Forever. I'll never see him again. God I miss him too.

A boring Saturday

Hey everyone. Good morning. It's early for me and usually I'm not up this time but around 10 or 11 am. I was up til 3 am and up at 6 am. Bob had to leave. Bobby and Benjamin stayed the night because Bobby was going to take Bob to Sellersburg, IN to pick his truck up. It had to be worked on. So early day.

Not much has been going on. I started walking a few months ago. I figured I needed to get off my fat ass and get to moving. So I have stopped so many Cokes and snacks. I did it for my diabetes so I could get a better grip on it. It still runs high but not as high as it was. Instead of being in the 2 and 3 hundreds now it's like 150 to 191. So that's good for me. Plus I have lost 33 pounds now. YAY me.

We started back to homeschooling this week. I can't believe it went as smooth as it did. She did great. No complaining, crying or a fit. She did everything even math. So good job to Jesse.

So I guess today I'll clean house since Bob is gone. Need to finish up the laundry. Joy joy. LMAO

Talk later

Monday

Nothing new going on. Just sitting at home chillin with my hubby and daughter. She has a friend staying this week.

We finally got out of school. She passed all of her end of year tests. She did good in all of them except for math so I'm making her do 'summer homeschool' for that to help her. Hopefully she'll get it.

Other than that not much else I suppose. Bob's birthday is on Thursday. He'll be 59 this year. So we didn't know if he'd be home or not next weekend so we fixed his cake this week.

See ya later

Well it's Over

Well the funeral is over and now everyone has gone their seperate ways and trying to deal with it all. For the ones that don't know my granny Opal died on the 19th. It was 3 days after her 77th birthday. They think it was a massive heart attack. I'll miss her cause I was visiting her in the nursing home and she wanted me to feed her. I never thought I'd ever be feeding my grandmother one day. But now I am so thankful I got to do a little something for her.

Talk to ya later

Busy, Busy, Busy

I can't believe it's been this long since I've wrote on the blog. A lot has happened. Jesse's play was wonderful. She and the other kids did a fantastic job on it. All of them had their lines down. They had a great time after the play just playing and running around.

tanner is still having seizures. He had two the other day and even quit breathing with the second one. I just know one day it's gonna kill him.

I had my birthday on the 10th. I turned 41 this year. Ah where does the time go?
I've been giving Jesse her end of the year test this week. So far she's done good on the ones she has taken. Next week she'll be finished and we'll be out of school til August.

Well that's it for now. Talk to ya later

Tanner

As a lot of you know we have a Sheltie named Tanner. He's a goofy dog but I love the piss out of him. He's a loving dog and loves Jesse. She bugs the hell out of him and he never bites her and loves to play with her. Bob gets him going too. He likes to grab his pants leg and tear holes in them. LOL
But he started having seizures a few months ago. I called the vet about it a few minutes ago and they recommend having him put to sleep./ That's tearing me up. I hatew to think of it but I know he's just suffering when he goes through one of them. They're getting woirse too. So now we have to make a decision.

Talk later guys.

Derby and Rain

Well this week has been all about the KY Derby coming up on Saturday. It'll be the 135th run for the roses. So of course Krogerr is busy making the garlands. I hope it doesn't rain. It has been some this week and it's in the forecast. Let's hope the weathermen are wrong. I don't go to it. I have lived here all my life and never been to a derby. I just don't have any desire to go up there among the madness.

Worry

Hey everyone. Well most of you know I homeschool Jesse. I've been homeschooling her since she was three. Of course 'officially' it's been about 4 years. Our school year will end June 12 and I'm already worried about next years curriculum. A wonderful Mom and Friend, Michelle, had us over and let me go through her stuff and she gave us a lot. As a matter of fact I have just about everything for next year. I guess a health curricula is the only thing I'm missing and I don't know if I have to teach it or not every year.
I drive myself crazy about this every damn year. Am I teaching her the right things, what should I buy and on and on it goes. So this year I'm not going to stress out about it as much as I usually do. That's what I'll keep telling myself anyway. LOL

She's doing good in all subjects except for math. So now I'm faced with this question, to advance her to 5th grade or keep her back? I'm totally arguing with myself on this one. Of course Bob says do what you think is best. Jesse is just tee totally pissed off about it. She was so mad at me when dshe heard me talking to her daddy about it. So solution still not found.

Oh well enough for today.
Take care

Rain Rain go away

It's been raining for two days now. It's doing the grass wonders, growing and will probably have to get the mower out this weekend.
Last night Mom and Chester came over for dinner. IJesse and I fixed lasagna and salad. We had garlic bread to go with it. Mom brought a peach cobbler. It was very nice and she even complimented me on the lasagna. LOl

That's about it my hum drum life. Take it easy

Comments and such

Hey all. I know it's been a few since I've been here to write anything. But thought I'd hop on and write a few things.
Not much going on right now. The doctor took me off the insulin and put me on pills. My sugar has gone down but it's still too high. I hope it keeps going down. I think he'll increase the dosage when I go in next month. I started alpha lipoic acid supplements too. Michelle from crafty scraps blogged about how it had helped her so I figured what the hell I'd give it a try. I haven't been on it long enough to tell yet but hopefully it will help. I think I'm going to start taking Estoven again too. It helps with the freakin night sweats and all the other lovely things that go along with menopause. JOY JOY JOY. You know what I'm talking about.

I also wanted to give DSG a shout. Thanks to the fantastic ladies who run it for making it an AWESOME site and the wonderful ladies who comment their asses off on the beautiful LOs that are posted everyday.

See ya

Sunday

Hey everyone. I know it's been a while since I've been here but thought I'd post something.
It's freakin 71 degrees here in KY today. There was tornado watches and warnings and some storms. Thank goodness we just got a little storm here.

I haven't really been up to anything but doing some LOs for DSG. I pretty much just go there now. Some of the other sites are getting bored. At DSG the gals leave wonderful comments on the LOs all the time and we carry on and are a bunch of Goffy Dorks there. I have a lot of comments and at the other sites I haven't got close to what I have there. I try to leave comments on the sites but when you don't get any you don't care I guess. But I really love the DSG site.

Tomorrow is another drama club meeting. They're going to read through the play again and suppose to bring what costumes or outfits they have from home. So it should be a fun oine.

Talk later

I Guess I'm a Bad Blogger

It's been a while since I've been here to write anything. It gets discouraging when no one stops in though and says HI. I try to also but I know life gets in the way.

Jesse's drama club is full steam ahead for the play. It may be called Just Imagine or The Daydreamer. Their not sure yet. She's having fun though and she's so expressive. I just can't believe it really.

Other than that nothing's going on. Just boring old stuff.

Later

365 Project

Well I don't think I'm gonna put anymore of the 365 LOs on the blog. It's too time consuming for one thing so I'm calling it quits with posting them.

Thanks are slowly getting back to normal around here but I'm still not back in my normal routine.

Lynn did the ADSR challenge 10 and she had to ask me questions and do a LO. She did a fab job on it. It's really awesome.

Ice Storm of 2009

Well it's been a hell of a ride this week. Monday we had an ice storm to hit. We got about three inches of ice here. Then it snowed a little. We didn't get as much as they thought we would. Thank goodness for that.

The power went out Tuesday night. So no heat or lights and of course no internet. LOl I missed it some but not as bad as I thought I would. Thankfully we had a kerosene heater and that was a lot when there's no heat at all. Of course we had food in the freezer and fridge. So I was worried about that and the fact we couldn't drink the eater. I had ran three gallons as soon as the power went out though. I also ran water through the good old Bunn coffee maker to get a pot of coffee and put it in the carafe for the next day. I gotta have my coffee. I am very grumpy without it.

I was running low on kerosene and had a half tank and my little brother said well hell that'll only last 6 hours. So he brought me some up Wednesday night. He filled the heater and left me some. Then I talked to Bob and he was close enough that he said he thought they'd let hi come home. So he got home about 1 am. I feel a lot safer when he's around. He had to go out though so Jesse and I went to Mom's to stay. We got a shower and god that felt so good. I took what we had in the deep freezer over to her house. She cooked all of it. I was so glad it didn't go bad. That was a relief.

Kentucky has been called a disaster area now though. The govenor called the National Gaurd out and they were suppose to start checking door to door today to check on people. Western KY got hit the hardest they said. Tree branches are down everywhere and electrical poles have been snapped in half and we saw one that had been broke in three parts. It was just unreal when I first saw all of it. It's amazing what mother nature can do. I feel so sorry for the lineman out there fixing the lines. And anyone else in it that's helping folks out. The American Red Cross has set up two or three shelters here in the county to help out too.

But we're home now and have heat and can use the water but still have to conserve on it.

What a day

The latest LOs of my 365.

Well today and last night we got round 1 of the snow and ice storm. It's a hell of a system moving this way to bring more later on today. Now we have freezing rain falling. Joy joy.

I haven't been up to much the past few days. I was sick last week and I had a couple of bad headaches. I got over it though.

Monday we had a play and drama club. The play sucked and the drama club was interesting. The kids wrote scenes for the play and all I can say is it'll be funny and they seem to really be pleased with how it turned out.

Have a great day!

Boring Day

Not much going on here just sitting around. It's wet and I hate to get out in it. But we did earlier cause I had to go get my insulin and a few groceries. We got out of WalMart without spending 100.00 and that's rare.

Ya'll have a good day. Gotta go work on some LOs.

365

Well I have 3 LOs of the 365 pages for 2009 done. They look pretty good too. I'm doing the Resolve To Scrap over at Digitals. They have a wonderful challenge for it. Divine Digital does also but I figure I better not get too much on my plate.

Has anyone else noticed that more of the scrap sites are going to points or things like that for posting bonuses instead of a mini kit or a QP? I'm not really liking the idea all that much but trying to get use to it. Gotta Pixel I think was the latest one to do it.

Bob will be getting home sometime tonight well early this morning now. So I'll be glad to see him.

Have a great day!
