WEll here I am in August ... Had a awesome time away last week.
Time away...
VERY MUCH Needed
A time to slow down
Cares were put ON HOLD
A Place to go and have FUN
T ook time to just remember what playing like a KID felt like
I started to remember what summer was about
Open to taking another week.. Yea right in my dreams
NEED to TAKE MORE TIME FOR ME!!!
That's the acronym for this year!
We went swimming, played games, saw horses, paddle boats, ate when we
wanted, slept when we wanted and even took naps.
Did word puzzles and started some reading in a book..
And of course we had our two favorites the GREEN MILE and
the Wizard of Oz.
The other habit I started was picking a word and a bible verse for the day..
I put a App on the phone too for the dictionary.
I a App of WAZE from brother n Law. I could have gone App crazy but
have to have limits too.
Oh yes and before the start of trip I got to spend some time with my adopted
Grandson who is nothing but a JOY to my Soul. He is full of life and laughter
and just seems to show me each time I see him that its ok just to BE..

July always Starts in a Bang
The 4th. Fireworks. hotdogs. family. picnics. parades. But today none of those for me.
Its not all bad. Got some chores done. Some puzzles. Made some bracelets. Me TV.
I guess you can say a slump.
OK so that's what was JULY... MAN

May OR CAN I have some FUN
I still feel like time is going crazy so I decided to get my May post in before it became May.
Ok why do I put these rules on myself? Really? Is there rules??? I know the only one that makes
sense to me right now is posting once a month and keeping things interesting..
May once again is flooded with Bdays.... And one baby shower so far.. So I am determined to
find some New FUN ideas. You know I have my lists and fun ideas posted in journals for
FREE things to do But I really need a revamp. Maybe its because I work for a survey Company
that my mind is always looking for other peoples opinions. But I guess Birthdays always remind
me of time going by and celebrating which is supposed to be FUN.
My husband is at the month and I always have to think of some creative way to NOT spend money
but make sure he knows that I celebrate him... He can be a bit of a downer and my mission is
to find out what WOULD be FUN for him.. But I guess everyone's definition of FUN can be different too. So that is a partial project for the month.. Gifts for men always seem harder. Don't know why.
OH I do have to share... The word MAY has been such a ANGRY word for me this month...
Normally in a sentence I will say at work:
Can I please have your number to be able to call you back
BUT NO my Supervisor INSISTS I SAY:
MAY I have your number to be able to call you back.
. Now I know for some Grammar professionalism maybe that MIGHT
sound right but its JUST PLAIN ANNOYING to me.. Can and MAY.??????
Words Words Words.. Yes I know there are allot smarter people out there than me..
I have another RANT for this month for PHONE Technology but I will spare this area
and yes stick to my hopes and being positive!!!!
So bring on May full of Sun and FUN!!!!

April To Bring Showers
Well next week will be April so getting this in now..
I sure hope we get those showers and NOT more Snow.. We are having funky weather so who
knows what will come next.. But each day is a gift so I try to remember that.. Not being negative
but just trying to see it as something special..
April starts the month of my only sons birthday. I just don't know where the time has gone.
I just shocks me to think he is going to be 32.. NO way . But he also is starting to act it.
I hope. He has his own place and full time job and talks about working hard and paying
bills and not having a life of fun. Welcome to the world of being a adult. Reality.. LOL
It makes me smile to think of him sitting down righting out a check.
Its also the month for my dads birthday. He is working on retirement. He has two jobs of
his cleaning service. I give him a lot of credit for that. He informed me last week that he
is going to get serious and start downsizing this summer and plan to move to VA where is
other grand kids are. So I must make a effort to get a visit in soon.
As far as April being a month of showers I personally like that rain at night it makes awesome
sleeping weather which has been my favorite part of the day lately.
My hope for April is to get a cool pic of the rain and some times outside just breathing in
some fresh air. Winter is supposed to ended March 20 so I am ready to get outside and
enjoy the beginnings to May flowers.

Marching on to March
This for some reason didn't post in March so I am sending it now to update March. I said March but most people are running.. Already talking about Easter that is in April and some stations are talking mothers day! I scream in the car SLOW Down People but no its not happening. Time is moving fast on me. Its already March 7.. Ugg.
So I have many Birthdays this month but two very important ones.. My adopted daughter and my Mom.. Both which are such major part in my life. Demands, requests and Questions they don't stop each week. I learn so much from both of them and do need to be truly grateful and try to make most of my time with both of them. I do truly feel blessed and depressed at the same time.
But they say that spring will start this month and like thousands of others I can truly say I am so ready. The poor people on the east coast can truly hope that it truly will start but I can say I am
sure its going to take a bit longer for them. So another thing to be grateful for NOT to have
to be searching for the side walk.

Farwell Jan. February begins wildly
On Tuesday January 20th we took our babies to vet and
both were just to sick to come home back to our home.
We have had the 15 yrs and I am still in such mourning for them.
Pets can be better family than humans. They both bought us such
joy. They were my protectors, comforters and companions.
The house feels so empty and I alone but its ok.
I got a plant. I can light candles. And have a list
of things I can do now that I couldn't when I had the sweet babies.
So now onto February. Birthdays and Valentines.
They say its a short month and I am sure it will fly
by and I will be wondering what happened.
February started out with a bang. He is a view of us looking at
car and can see the side walk depth of the snow. Yes its the
fun time of winter. A friend told me yes the brave live up north
and the rest go to FL. (alot of our friends do live in the south what does that say)

JAN 2015 Starting out the year with treasures
Wow where has time GONE... But yes it does go even when you are NOT ready and just
spend days walking in your sleep to get by and look for good moments and treasures.
spend days walking in your sleep to get by and look for good moments and treasures.
Starting with this puzzle from a coworker. Which is 1000 pieces but in hopes
of my husband and family to have fun doing and enjoying each others company.
My NEW 2015 planner that will have to do this year.
Normally I have atleast 2 or 3 but this year No this one will have to
be it.
A journal my neighbor gave me .
And the last treasure I have got this year and love is a blanket
that my dear friend gave me.
It is the softest thing I have felt. Its like the fur from my sweet queen kitten.
I treasure it because its like getting a big hug.
I know the bible says a lot of treasures but these things sure help my life down here now
go just a little better each day.
My hopes too that I KNOW things have to get better each day...
Happy 2015..
