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..

Close to December
Thanksgiving just passed.. Very interesting day. Not the normal experience of lots of family
food and fun. This year we went traveling to my son. Lately I enjoy so much comfort of the
car. Knowing I will have time with my hubby... Music and feeling going somewhere with
not allot of effort. Which it great lately because I feel so many aches and pains lately.
The drive was great. Except the nervous coming home in dark with crazy drivers pushing us
to close to cones and feeling like we could crash.
Seeing my son well was great a joy. No crises No big pains. Him working and looking forward to getting his own place. Two girls fighting for his attention and him just happy to have them care.
Now that the day after black Friday stuff just makes me look at this world and shake my head.
I love getting a deal and will not pay full price for many things. I have learned to be cheap.
But going to store on this Friday forget it. But now its ok for it to feel like its Christmas time.
Even though others went from Halloween to Christmas and some would be ready to celebrate
tomorrow. Tree up, presents bought and wrapped, and planning there menus. While I am this
year still enjoying the Turkey and just thinking of a project that I maybe able to do for Christmas.
But my sister N Law says to me this year is called distress time . She had a fire and I have
been in Care giving a sick mom so we are all about keeping things simple.
But I am also in the mists of down sizing and sorting things. If you know we I love calendars
and journal books. I don't have huge collections of books anymore. Since I have the privilege of
the library and my kindle that helps in the area of hording. But I still have the notebooks from
years ago. Plus agenda books as far back as 2006. So as I was sorting threw them taking up
allot of space wondering what to do with them. My heart doesn't want to give them up. The paper
the tags, the pictures, the notes of the day... What to do.. It made me sad taking them apart. But I
did take some apart and let go of some of them. I wish I was in a club of calendar keepers and
knew what they did in the past with theirs. Now that will be a new google search for me.
So December come along with all your treats and Joys. I am keeping it simple and just doing smaller ways of celebrating. We shall see I already feel like this year is different. I hope by the close near to Jan. I will have a better attitude and less stress..

November
Rush Rush Rush.. Months are going by so fast, told the hubby this morning I feel like It
was May yesterday and Now in November. But allot people are already ready for Christmas.
I had a rant on Facebook about this and I still not fully recovered but feel a little better.
Its really hard for me this year nothing seems right. All I am doing paper work for my mom
for a nursing home program. And I am NOT taking time for me JUST to be and have FUN.
What is that word lately. I have forgot how to have fun. It just makes me so sad.
In the past I know fun to be makeup, library, crochet, movies, talking with friends,
taking pictures, beads, drawing, poems, journaling, walking in the park.
Hey that is a nice list. I have to get back to life. I feel like life is passing me bye
and even complaining and panic is more in my life than being thankful..
I know Thanksgiving is this month and its not going to be the same. Hubby family
going away and mom in nursing home... I just have to find a new tradition for me
and the hubby. It takes me being creative but I just have to start thinking.
It seems my creative juices do work when I get OUT and be with other people.
Fears, complaints, all or nothing thinking and depressing thoughts have TO GO!!!
Everyone has pain at some point its just how you want to react to it and your
attitude. For the moment my heart says WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE Possible.

August & Sept and NOW Welcome to Oct
I just woke up from a time warp and realized that two months have gone by.
But that is what happens when you lose computer access and get depressed..
Well I shouldn't say get depressed sink back into depression. I hate the word and believe
most of the time I can fight it and try to be a happy go lucky person. There is just to
much to be thankful in life for and we have so many choices and I do feel that here in
America we have so many blessings.
1. Clean Water- Real happy about this one because we keep having water shut off by city.
2. Electric for our homes.
3. More than 2 pairs of shoes
4. More than 4 different bibles in the house
5. More than 4 different journal books/Pens of every color
6. Food choices- Even at my lowest still had cereal, bagels, fruit or pizza
7. Books- now with the lovely Kindle I can have 400 books in one light weight
machine and don't even have to get up to change a book.
8. Free TV- Yes even though I don't have cable we still have over 30 something channels
that can normally find something.. (but if not READING is much better anyways)
9. A cell phone in which again can look at calendar, calculator, email and games ALL in one
spot..
10. A bed or coach with soft blankets to lay my head..
So THIS is a list for me to remember that I am BLESSED..
AND Most Others are TOO..

June and JULY
My Life OH boy... June is gone. Days are fly and I just cant keep up. June has been a real month
of learning for me. My life came to a crash in the middle of May and I just wasn't able to function.
So a New start for me began again. Its been hard getting used to New med.. And I know I am
leaving so many details out. But the speed of the days and me being able to express them hopefully
will come.
July is off to a good start. Back to work and just trying to get back to doing things better.
Thinking of going back to school but that's down the road. But need to put some thought into that.
I so want to get my drivers licence but the way people drive really make me nuts. But then I will
not be any nutty then them.. I have wanted it for So long. I will really celebrate it when I get it.
Wish I had a picture to describe how feeling but not at this time but will not wait so long to keep up with
the blog because I do enjoy doing this exercise .

VERSES ON WAITING
So much of my life I have spent waiting on things...
Dealing with my Mom right now she is very impatient in dealing with her
illness and waiting for things to happen.. She wants everything done NOW and
sometimes I feel like I am the Mom and she is the two year old.
So I decided to use some creative juices and get some bible verses for her and
I will give them to her to put in her purse or maybe even hang on the wall.
(we shall see what I end up doing)
I got 7 note cards. One for each day and I will hope she will take them to heart and
memorize them. I know I hope to! I have a hard time waiting too..
Here are the verses:
2. Micah 7:7
3. Psalm
27:14

A for April
Getting close to April.. Man time just flying by..
So what can we say about A..
April
Abject to having MORE SNOW. waiting for spring to come.. Doesn't seem never will..
Abundant things to do but NOT being able to motivate to do them.
Accomplish One thing at a time. Got my lists and just needing to follow threw.
Anonymous like that word for some reason.. LOL
Abundant of ways to look at a problem.
Able to find away to stay sane.
Adapt to my life now as a caregiver
Appears that I am on a roll.
Apprehend the person who said I was dumb.
Affliction of having people near me who think that life should
Applaud them for being
ALIVE and THANKFUL
Applaud me for wanting to TRY..
Aspire to be a better person.
Audible voice in my head that tells me I will be OK..
Awe of the Friends in my life who seem to make LIFE look easy.
Address the need of Showers in this house.but NOT
Appropriate place to discuss the need for that NOW.. LOL
Animals that are both
Adorable but VERY messy..
Act to become more
Addicted to having a clean house and life.
Appear to be getting close to being
At a pause for this session of As..
I like doing these.. Words are my friends and I always HOPE to learn
new things each day!

Flowers, Favors and Forget
not a big celebrator for many things.. (birthdays, holidays) He used to spoil me allot more the first
5 yrs of our marriage. But He also has had a bypass surgery and became diabetic
so that changed our lives allot.So this was a VERY nice surprise.
Flowers did help cheer me up from getting kinda a bad report from the doc.
Good news not major surgery ,
Bad news I do have a polyp and small mass in one
ovaries and not sure of the other. And she wants to do out patient treatment. Which I am so
glad about except I am care taking my Mom who WANTS to be waited on hands and foot.
Favor is for that I will find the right answer to handle this situation and also in care giving in
general. Mom is compassionate but also difficult at the same time.I am trying to reach out
online to ideas from care giving sites. And just hope and pray that I can find the right person
to connect with.
I also must say I DO have favor having such a awesome sister N Law that has taught me
so much about care giving. .
Forget.. I hate how things can pass threw my mind so quickly.. Forgetting birthdays..
Which this month I am on overload.. (I had 4 on Feb. 13) I have tons of calendars for this
reason and paper I cant have enough. But lately just seem to not be able to remember
anything. So I just have to write more which is OK because I do LOVE writing..
