Call It Maybe (NFL Replacement Officials Parody)

weekend wrap up

To say the least I didn't get a lot done this weekend.

• shopping... check
• cleaning... check

not much more then that. A few things got in the way. I started to feel sick again. Not sure i like being older and not shaking colds.
Winston on sat night got very sick. I woke up to Len saying "whats wrong" to the dog. All i saw was this little 4 pound dog walking across our bed and looking and acting like he had a seizure. He crawled up to my face/shoulder and was shaking and then he wanted to walk around. he looked drunk.
to took him to the door to see if he needed to go outside... Then he puked. poor thing. he looked at me like he was just about to die.
I picked him up and went back in the house. he was shaking again.
then he wanted to be held. then all of a sudden he got sick again. At this point Len is on line looking up signs of a seizure. Me holding my boy and hoping its nothing more the him eating something that didn't agree with him. Praying inside that's all it is.

Len takes Winston on walks at least 5 times a week. So maybe that's all it is. Grass.. maybe when they walked he ate grass....

So at this point it 1 in the morning and Winston is still in my arms snuggling tight in his favorite blanket. Me in bed sitting up and Len sitting next to me. I put the TV on know there is no way in hell i would be sleeping any time soon. Len fell asleep. Winston finally fell asleep... me sitting up looking at both of them. thinking to myself and hoping that nothing more was going to happen. Knowing that if we lost Winston Len would be sick over it. Yes, I would be too  but this little 4 pound wonder has brought so much joy to Len. That I think it would just put he over the edge.

So as I sat awake till 4:30ish in the morning hoping and praying to my Lord to heal this 4 pound wonder. Thinking and wondering how in the hell my life would be like again with out a dog.
:/

I fell asleep and at 8:30 jumped out of bed. not sure why I did. Got in a shower and waited to see if Winston would wake up better and yes he did.
So it must of been just an upset tummy. I will take him to the doc's and have him checked out.
Thank you God... 

Sun I didn't get much done I felt hung over from lack of sleep. I went in to town with Jen for a bit then came home watch a movie with Winston on my lap.
Now I'm in my scrap room thinking of my weekend and how this past week was a week of sadness....

• a friend is sick and the docs are not sure what direction they are going to take
• had a client and friend pass away
• talking things over with a friend on their wishes if something were to happen to them in the future
• seeing one of my best friends kids sick in the hospital

then one of my favorite quotes came to my mind.

• Real tears are not those that fall from your eyes & cover your face, but those that fall from your heart & cover your soul. 

as the night has wrapped up and i am planning a few things for the up coming week. I want to take a moment to say something to you all.

Take each day to  live it~love it. remember be kind to all those around you. Say thanks to those who do things for you not because they wanted to but because they love you and  DON"T ever take a friend for granted they might not be there tomorrow.  Far and near keep everyone in your heart, smile when you think of them. out of sight out of mind in my book is a cop out.... say you love me when you feel it. I do... I believe feeling what you feel at the moment, because it my never happen again.  
I will not live forever... I do feel my life will be shorter the yours. I am older and with that I want you all to know I love you and I am glad we have each other, I miss you when you are gone and I am happy when we see each other.

I know for me, my heart is a home with rooms. each of you fill it and have a place to live forever in it.


till the day I pass remember you are loved. you are never alone. you own my heart....



peace out

BETTER... NOT GREAT :(

Yes, I do feel better just not great. Still very dizzy and I so dislike that feeling.
I don't need to see the doc, no fever. I will let it run it's course and hope by tomorrow I will bounce out of bed. (need to have plans this weekend and want to be 100%)

I'm working and Winston is sleeping on my desk. Very casual day.

Happy Wed and we have 4 sleeps till FALL which I'm looking forward too! I love this time of the year.

• falling leaves
• apple cider
• homemade apple sauce
• homemade pumpkin pie and bread
• pumpkin spice lattes (mmmmm my favorite)
• decorating my porch
• halloween & candy sacks
• camel apples

Getting ready for my scrapbooking weekends with the girls soon. Looking forward to this. Time on the mountain is so meaningful to me. A time to scrap, talk and enjoy Gods wonders. I am very blessed to live in a beautiful state. I miss the city life of L.A. at times, but to have Mt Baker in my backyard is the best too.

I should get back to work. I have missed most of the week. so as I sign off I have Lady Gaga singing one of my fav's... Bad Romance...

peace out

I didn't see it coming....

Dang... I wish I saw the mack truck that drove by my house last night and got it's licences plate.

I wake up with an nasty head cold. I feel like crap and I am just about to leave work. Yes I went in.
The chills are now setting in too. Summer colds are the worst. (insert sad face) :(

So this is going to be short and sweet...

Happy Monday and back to the old ways on Mondays.
Miles of smile.

• cozy bed (waiting for me)
• meeting the new group of AFS kids last night
• chicken soup... good for the soul (and this cold)
• Winston who just want me to feel better and all he wants to do is snuggle with me.
• great boss how is looking at me now like I'm nut for blogging
• good friends

Have a great day friends and I hope you don't catch what I have.

peace out

My heart is heavy toady. I will never forget what we all went though on this day 11 years ago.
God bless the men and woman who fight to keep us safe each day.
Bless the families who have lost loved ones and continue to heal each day.

Today and always remember we are blessed to live in a beautiful place called America.

Land of the free.
Home of the brave.

Peace

where has the time gone....

I feel it's been forever since i posted a real update on my life.
( it has been like 5 months!)

So let see if i can get a few things updated for my few followers.

• Jake has finally gotten taller then me and now I'm the center of small jokes. (and i love it!)
• Jake is in 6th grade and I don't see get him off to school each morning. I have had mixed emotions on this for a few weeks and I find myself at least once a week missing your morning goodbys. (the side lean in for a hug and a thanks with an i love you see you tomorrow thing) 
• soccer is over for one Jake and the other Jake just started soccer. I love to watch this sport.
• over the summer we went to Europe. France Spain and Portugal. Hope to be post some pictures soon on our adventurers.
•  fell in love with France!
• i now want to move to France
• started back up walking. I want to do an 1/2 marathon soon. Hoping my left hip will not give me any more problems. 
• looking for a part time job. I miss traveling to see my friends and at the same time want to see more of this world we live in. 
• did i tell you i feel in love with France!
• Winston is loving his walks with Len or I. Yesterday we went 4 miles. I walk him on Saturdays when I so see LJ plays soccer.
• work is ok. i found out i dislike filing. I used to like it but now... dislike.
• I miss having a good cheese dinner with family. Not much fun with 2 people. more fun with 4 or more. 
• which now has me telling you again I miss France and I want to go back soon... 
• fell in love... (france) 
• painting in my scrap room again. Not sure I like it. will post pics when done. 
• NEED to finish Jake grad gift. (before he comes home for a visit) Jake is in collage in CA now. I hope he is having a great time in sunny Calif. (hint Mr. Moser... need address if you want you bday gift sent) :)

I think that's most of things going on. I tell you all the truth life has been very different for me in the last 6 months of my life.  Hard to explain it all in a post. I have had many days of emotion. I have felt lost and confused.  Seam at times I just don't know what to make of it. But it passes and then I feel better. Change is a funny thing. It comes in all different stages of life. Even at 52 I still want my mom to talk with and I miss my dad when we hug. Not having them around has been hard.

I think it's time to go home for a 3/4 day weekend just to sit with the family. I haven't been home in 2 years.

Well friends I hope to keep in better touch the second half of this year.

To Rita and family HELLO and I loved being with you all this summer. Thanks again.. I miss you all and we need to Skype soon.

To my SD friend... I hope all is well. Miss that smile of yours and send me your address. I hope collage is fun and you are doing well.

peace out

Landslide by Dixie Chicks + Lyrics!

Childhood.... where did it go. This songs floods so many memories for me . As my life is changing so is yours. I will miss you each morning and know I love you and I am so glad I got to spend my morning with you Jake! You gave me strength when I didn't have any thing else to hold onto.  God blessed me with you when I lost my baby. God knew we needed each other.

Love you snug~a~bug!
