| Priorities.......I received this little tidbit in my email today from a friend :
There comes a point in your life when you realize:
Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won't anymore...
And who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

There was the usual bit about sending it on to several others but I just ignored that part. Too bad that by the time you can really appreciate the wisdom of these words, so much water has gone under the bridge and you have given power to individuals that should have never been given to them in the first place. The good thing is that it is never too late to take back your power and use it to empower yourself again. | | |
| What kind of blogs do you like to read?The blogs I most like to read are the ones that deal with problems that people have and how they go about solving or surviving those problems. I have read some that will haunt me for the rest of my life since the blogs were written from the heart and soul.....I felt their pain. One in particular comes to mind, where a sonogram was performed and the light that is the living heart of an unborn child was not there. I still cry in remembered pain as the not-to-be Mother first learned that her unborn child would never be borned as a living baby. Thankfully, she later had a beautiful baby girl to hold and love and she shares her joy in her blogs.
I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too! | | |
| Ding Dong......Ding, Dong, the wicked, wicked witch is dead. Hurrah! Hurrah! Well......not exactly dead (wishful thinking on my part, hmmmm?), but she (if you change the w to a B in witch, you get a much better idea of what I am feeling at this moment) is now just leaving the state. From Williamstown, NY to somewhere near or in St. Paul, Indiana, THANK YOU, LORD. At least part of my prayers have been answered, she has left the state and at the same time my Husband starts a new phase of his driving career where he will be home every night. She has been quoted as not waiting for him to call any longer and getting on with her life........about damn time! All I can say is......Ladies in Indiana......watch out for her, if a man has money, she thinks he should be hers whether he has a wife and children or not. She plays the victim card time and time again and according to what she told my Husband, every man that she has been "with" during any of her two marriages......she was raped.....even though she supplied him with a key to get into her house and when she left her husband, she went to his house to stay. She was smart though, she first picked up a matchbook at the local motel to show her husband where she stayed during the time she left him after she returned to her supposedly "abusive" husband. Such a storyteller(Liar???), but she thinks it provides a good excuse for her indifferent behavior to her own children. I am not buying it for one moment. If it looks like a self-centered bi*tch, walks like a self-centered bi*tch, talks like a self-centered bi*tch, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize it is L*nda.....oh look, same number of letters and the second letter is the same! My, oh my.......I feel better already just for writing this blog. Her poison is slowly leaving my household and this move will definitely speed up the progress of our healing from her infection. At least this time she did not try to come onto the property. Of course, she could have not even came down the hill but stayed out of sight while the four wheeler was being loaded onto the moving van......but that would have shown some class. She just had to come down a dead end road that only has two houses on it, one of which is off limits to her. She was smart enough to stay in her car at least. Well, she is gone now and good riddance. Hurray! | | |
| I Am Still Alive.....My empty nest did not become a reality. My last chick flew the nest but I gained a grandson due to financial difficulties of one of my other daughters. So while they get their house in order, I am taking care of little Alex. He is doing fine.....I am adjusting! I am really glad when his nap time comes since it gives me time to catch up on my sleep too. I went too many days and nights without adequate sleep while my sisters were here from California and I am slowly being able to get caught up one nap at a time. So this will help explain my lack of journaling but will be back to tell about the wedding. Yes, she did get married and is now in Florida having the time of her life. She even got to have her picture taken with SpongeBob SquarePants. If you know anything about Jen......this is a really big thing for her. I will be back, I promise. | | |
| Partings.......I started to do this entry last night but fell asleep while putting the baby away to bed. He likes to have someone with him in the room when he falls asleep. What I was going to say was that I have just said goodbye to my two sisters and I miss them already. They left early this morning to go to New York City to do some sightseeing and to do some family history stuff. While it was orginally planned for my sister Carol to stay with me at my house, the plan got changed when my sister Debbie decided that she wanted to come too. My take charge sister, Debbie, booked a room for herself and my sister Carol at the hotel in my town. My sister Debbie did a lot of assuming without a lot of checking and as a result a few feathers have been ruffled and now there are some hurt feelings. Soooo.....to maybe help bridge a few gaps (or maybe not...depending if anyone wants to bridge any gaps), firstly, since I had planned for Carol to stay with me in the beginning, it would have been more appropriate to check with me about any change of plans. Carol and I had exchanged emails confirming the fact that she would be staying at my house. Now the confusion begins. Debbie decided that she wanted to attend the wedding (I am thrilled that now both my sisters will be here) but she tells Jen and Jen is juggling too many jobs at the moment with preparing for her wedding and does not let me know right away. I am running around trying to get everything prepared too plus dealing with family and health issues so I am not reading my emails in a timely fashion. I didn't read the one that said "we are staying in a hotel" until much later and that is only because my sister Carol had asked me if I had gotten Debbie's email. She went through my Xanga messaging and my Club Pogo messaging to get my attention. I would have liked for both of my sisters to stay with me so we could of had those late night gab sessions and memory walks plus to update ourselves about our families. But I do have to say.....it worked out better that they did stay in the hotel since 1. It is an old hotel and Debbie would have gotten spooked if she would have had to stay there alone (ghosts and all that.....plus she was on the third floor and no elevator) 2. My household was in chaos and everyone's hours would have put a strain on Carol's ability to get any sleep. 3. My husband got progressively more and more grumpy as the week wore on. As it was, he is very lucky that I have not prepared his final resting place somewhere in the backyard after expressing his "grumpyness" in my sisters' presence the last night they were here. After all, I rarely get to spend time with my sister since they live on the west coast and I am out here in New York. So Mom, if you are reading this, don't get mad at Carol since it worked out better that they were in the hotel since that is where we girls had our final dinner together (take out Chinese) and enjoyed our final moments together...that is after we climbed the stairs of torture first. | | |
