RESPONSE TO "Community and the Leaving Concept - Response"

Nobodyschild99,

I would have left a comment on your blog, but you have it so that nobody can comment..LOL

People are weird. They are weird in real life and they are weird online.

I am also tired of expending energy on people who think its ok to just pop in and out of my life on a whim without a thought to how it might effect me. I have been online and part of different "online communities" for a very long time and I have seen this happen time and time… Continue

SAVING A BUNDLE ON FOOD

For the past 25 years, although I have always worked outside of my home, my main job has been to raise my daughters and run my home. I have not always been happy to be called a housewife or even a homemaker, but nowadays, a part of me wishes I could go back to those days with the knowledge and experience I now have.

I think I would appreciate my daughters so much more. I would appreciate every hug, every kiss. I would look forward to 4 pm when they got off the bus and we had to start… Continue

FIRST BABY PICTURE OF MY NEW GRANBABY...

OK

so this is an image from a cellphone, so its not the best. Baby was kept for 2 extra days in the hospital due to jaundice, but is home now and is keeping mom pretty busy. Mom is a little worse for wear but its not anything that any new mom hasn't gone through.

I'M A GRAMMA

Reighlan Malin was born on August 5th, 2009

She weighs 7 lbs 12 ozs and is 20 1/2" long

She has a full head of dark hair, eyes like her mom and is very curious about the world (also like her mom) According to my daughter, she looks a lot like her dad (except for her eyes) including having his hands...

My daughter, Aley had a pretty easy time of it, surprising for her first child, but epidurals will do that for you.

I don't have any pictures yet, but when I do, I… Continue

IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT....

So.. today is my birthday and I am sitting here at almost 2:30 in the morning contemplating my life...

Actually, I seem to do that every night so really this has nothing to do with my birthday...

So I am 46 today, that is almost 50. In dog years I am 322. Wow.. almost 50, when I was a teen ager, I thought 63 was as old as I would ever get, that gives me another 17 years of life..LOL.

Can you imagine? I actually thought 63 was like OLD. What a laugh that is now.… Continue

STUMBLING AROUND IN THE DARK

A friend of mine recently said this to me in response to a comment I made on his blog,

"One of these days I'll learn to just turn on the fucking light... but the shock factor alone at seeing all the mess at one time would surly kill me, maybe that's why I can't find the light switch, hell there might not even be one, so stumble through this I will, and not gracefully might I add...lol ... I'm ok with that. "

It struck a chord with me because that is how I kind of view how… Continue

This, That and The OTHER Thing

This is why I don't go to bed at a normal hour. Last night I went to bed a midnight...I actually fell asleep... and woke up an hour later, raring to go. I tried to go back to sleep.. I explained to myself, "self, it isn't time to get up, it's still the middle of the night." Myself answered, "but I took a nap, I want to get up now." I again tried to explain to myself," no, you have to stay in bed and sleep like a normal person." But myself just wasn't buying it. I finally gave in at around two… Continue

What's it all about...

You would think that as I come upon my 46th birthday, that I would have my life figured out. You would think that I would know what I want to be when I grow up and that I would no longer be suffering from the amount of doubt and self loathing that I deal with. You would think... but no. Here I am, about to turn 46 and I am still wondering what it's all about.

There was a time in my life when I knew exactly who I was and what I wanted out of life and quite frankly, I don't know how I… Continue

Right after that..my mother in law took a turn for the worse and wound up back in the hospital.. we were told she had about 2 days to live...… Continue

SAD NEWS

On May 9th at aprox 3 pm, my mother-in-law passed away quietly in her sleep with my father-in-law sitting by her side. In the last hours of her life, the nurses aid came in a gave her a sponge bath, rubbed her down with lotion and even fixed her hair, giving her the dignity she deserved in her passing. My father in law sat quietly by her bed saying his prayers, after which, he leaned forward and told her it was ok to go... she passed 15 minutes later.. I know that she was waiting for him to be… Continue

Losing people you love is so difficult...

My mother in law has been in the hospital now for almost 2 months. She is almost 85 and has smoked for most of her life. She has emphysema and has had a pace maker for the last 15 years, she is also on blood thinneres. She went into the hospital because she pretty much stopped eating, maybe a couple of ounces of food each day, but it through her meds off, well, the cumaden causing her blood to thin to much and pool around her heart.

So she wound up having some kind of surgical… Continue

Why?

Why do people have to get sick or die before we realize that we should have spent more time telling them that we love them? Why don't we take the time out of our busy lives in the here and now to spend time with loved ones, to get to know them better, to say, "I love you" and "you matter to me"?

My Mother in law is dying. She is old, we knew it would come some day,,, but not yet. I use to call her every day, we spent hours on the phone, but as she got older and I knew that her time… Continue

If anyone sees sleep, can you tell it I am looking for… Continue

Cheapest airfare ever.... check this out

Due to my mother in laws recent illness, we were forced to look for a quick and inexpensive way to get from TN to FL, what we found shocked and surprised us. There is an airline out there charging fares as low as 19 dollars from here to there... that is what I said...19 dollars.. of course there are other fees and taxes that make it more like 35 dollars... but for 70 dollars it can get you there and back again, that is cheaper then taking the… Continue

Depression hurts....

How many of us here suffer from depression? I don't mean the "I'm a little blue today" type of depression, I mean the "mind numbing, strength sapping, can't sleep, eat or think" type of depression. The kind of depression that jumps up on you when you least expect it. The kind of depression that makes you so tired that you are surprised when you take another breath. the kind of depression that makes you wonder if tomorrow is really going to be worth waking up to? I'm not talking about suicide,… Continue

Been a bit blocked lately

and I don't mean constipated....

I have not been able to bring myself to write a blog for the last few weeks.. even responding to blogs seems to have become difficult for me... again. I have begun to respond to some really good ones,,, Syds blog about her disbelief in romantic love and now Ram's blog about gun violence.

I'm forcing myself to write this and I probably won't make a bit of sense because what ever comes out is getting posted...

There are things going… Continue

Where am I?

That is what I have been asking myself lately... where the frack am I?

In all of this blogging and even my recent vlog... WHERE AM I?

I have noticed a difference in myself, others have noticed a difference in me.. I think that is great. I really am grateful for the strength to have pulled myself out of a self inflicted prison. I have been hiding my heart behind a brick wall for so long, I almost forgot I had one. It feels good to be free but its scary too.

I have been… Continue

Never Choke in a Restaurant in the South!

A funny from Debra

Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation. Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is inreal distress.

One of the hillbillies looks at her and says,'Kin ya swallar?' The woman shakes her head no. Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?' The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.

The… Continue
