Happy New Year
Wow 2014 ! We are already nine days into it and just is so amazing how it is flying by..
Been a whole Month since Mom had stints put in her heart.. Now finally back in Rehab
again.. Sadly was a hard day for me and seeing Mom today I just keep realizing how frail life
is and you just never know how long we have with each other..
Through the process I hope this year will bring us into a healthy state of mind with eating..
Since being in hospital Mom has been starting to lose weight.. I hope I can join her this year
and lose weight myself. But not the DIET way or some pill or some new quick fix.. I hope that
I will see my two big GOALS from my bucket list start
1. EAT more Healthy foods.. FRUITS and VEGGIES..
2. Get MY Drivers license and NOT JUST the permit this YEAR!!!!!!
(I have had my permit 3 times but never had a car to take the test)
I am keeping my Goals small this year but these TWO will probably take a
good part of the year to do.. Here is hoping!!!
Here is progress of Mom now moving into rehab! She is such a Trooper!

A different KIND of Christmas
I knew this year was going to be a hard Christmas because we wouldn't have our Papa Don
who LOVED to be full of cheer at this time of year..
But never in my wildest dream would I ever think that we would be spending Christmas day in a hospital room. Have Pics to prove it! We made the best of it that we could. Needless to say I wanted to
Shoot my husband (calling it a wasted day) And My brother and his wife all they could talk about was
food.. (with my poor mom there NOT able to enjoy anything ) So needless to say I got NO cards out
my joy to do. But I did have a JOY of seeing my MOM be like a child at heart when I gave her
a doll... She was so very happy with it.. Papa Don would always give her Jewelry, Perfume,
and a doll or something that would make noise.. They were just big kids at heart..
The next holiday coming in my favorite New Years , but sadly I am NOT enjoying it as much as I normally
do because I fell on Ice and Hurt my Shoulder/Arm.. And for some reason this year I only have one
calendar and one Planner. (When I normally LOVE the dollar store kind, and have at least 3. )
When feeling better me and MOM have to fix this!!!
So much to say about the NEW YEAR but with my Arm starting to really hurt it will have to be
another time!
Cant WAIT to Start the NEW YEAR!!!!!

Wow WHAT a week!
1. Mom had a heart Attack
2. My friend who I ride with went NUTS at work.. I hope she has a job Monday.
3. I found the Christmas project for this year!
4. With Moms heart Attack decided to STAY home for Christmas and NOT do annual Event.
5. My sweet kitty is acting weird and I am just not sure how much longer he has.
6. My hubby had 3 days of Late nights and I was alone for 2 nights.. Nice
7. Hopefully today will get to visit with familiar church family. A BIG deal to get hubby to go!
That is the list of high lights. I feel my head spinning. So much to learn, to change, and then the
realization now that at any moment I could lose my mom.. It just hurts so much to think about it.
I have lost many family members it scary to think I only have a few left now. That is why Church
family and friends are so important to connect with... I don't want to feel alone! I know we are
never truly alone and I have my faith but its sure nice to have people to talk to who care.
On another note I did find a easy project to do for Christmas for friends and family which is
been such fun and therapy for me to do. I will do another post of those pics another day!

Thanksgiving 2013
What can I say.. Hubby was not having it this year! He worked the day and then came
and the taste buds didn't work. But as usual we were with his family and fun was had
by all. Lots of food, games, Tv shows, and of course the phones looking at Facebook
People shopping and putting up trees is big on the to do lists for this weekend. I will
be so glad when the commercials are over about the shopping. I used to think the shopping
experience was complete happiness but it only lasts for the moment and bills come and
things that are not budgeted bring sadness.
On my to do list is Vegging out and laughing with my son for the few days left that I have with him.
I was so looking forward to having 5 days off. But then the days are slipping away. I am
so glad a friend is coming today today to do the zoo night.. I get to feel young, be with the
young and be with my close friend which is all the therapy I can ask for...
Such fun we had.. Took some cute shots.. I think these two are my favorites! I love Giraffes and the colors of the zebras like a rainbow! It was a fun night and will always cherish my memories!

The Tree
This is the field I walk before work.
This tree made me so happy the other day. The colors were as a pic of art!
I love seeing all the colors around. There have been such bright reds this year!
This field has been a walk to remember. In the winter the edges fill with snow and
its been a challenging to walk threw but for now I will enjoy the sites.
Pain
Last month I started what I feel will bring a new phase of life.
I had this huge shooting pain in my hip. I went to the doc after dealing with it for a few
days and he told me to ice and heat it 10/5 minutes at a time and gave me a muscle relaxant
and sent me on my merry way. It worked for about a week.
Now the pain is back and decided to find another doc to add to this one! Feeling I need to take
a different route. I have never been much for Doctors or hospitals but I feel a change coming on.
I feel I will be seeing alot more Doctors and maybe even a hospital stay soon. Ugg.
I am a big person of prayers so hopefully I will have a few more visits to the doctor and start
a new plan of treating this.
Sadly this time of year I would have most of my Christmas projects almost done.
(crochet scarfs, Hats, last year it was owls and candy canes) But being in this pain
and the rejection of last year just has me down. I am still hoping to find a easy project
to whip up because I do enjoy seeing happy faces but I am just NOT so sure if its
possible.
Here is hoping!
