YES IM ALIVE TAKES A WHOLE NEW MEANING

Hello all I just logged in and made my way here and sat and read my last entry. Life was so simple then but it didn't seem like it at the time. A few weeks ago I was over visiting a friend for the weekend. It was suppose to be a overnight thing but we had so much fun I decided to stay another night. On that Sunday morning we stayed up until five am only to hear my phone go off at six am. I thought I was dreaming and tried to fall back to sleep. It rang again so I finally got up and checked my voicemail.

The first message was from the sheriff asking me to call him and the next was from my sister in law in tears asking for me to call her. All I could think of was something happened to my husband or daughter. Hubby was delivering papers and my daughter was in the city at a church weekend function. My phones signal sucked but I attempted to call my sister in law. It was valentines day an I had planned on going home and spending the day with my family but my sister in law told me through tears that it was gone. I asked what was gone,, she said the house an I asked who's house... she said your house. The connection was lost and I freaked out.. I went into shock. I later found out that if I had been there I wouldn't of made it out. For some weird reason we were all out at six am on a Sunday. Thank god

Unfortunately our amazon bird and beloved mamma cat along with two hamsters from school did not get so lucky. I will continue this story which has become my life soon. Take care all and hold onto the ones you love because you never know.

Yes,,, I am still Alive lol

Hey all it's me.. wow it has been a long time. I havn't logged on blogs for a long time and have been staying away from my computer for months but not sure why. Maybe I needed a long break lol. I have no clue how to do any of this anymore so you will have to bear with me hehe. I think I may go check out a few blogs now... though I did keep tabs on a few via my phone. Hope everyone is doing well and such. Hope to be on here more often to post.. take care all

Yes I'm still Around

Hi all. So sorry I haven't been on in a long time. I don't know I think this weather is effecting me still. My days all meld into each other and I find myself with not much to say lol. School is still a big struggle with my daughter as she is failing most of her subjects. I called and now have a plan in place for her to get some tutoring and less work on her plate for the upcoming semester. The in laws are still in limbo as to what they are doing. I don't think they will rebuild because it will cost more then they have and of course taxes will skyrocket. My friend had her surgery and is doing better so far. Other then that all is pretty slow and uneventful. I hope to be back more often..take care.

Long Time No Blog

Hey all. Hope everyone is doing good and making it through this super cold snap we are having ..brrrr. I know I have been gone since Christmas and I'm sorry about that but I was in a bit of a funk. It always happens to me soon after the holiday hoopla has ended. I was tired and worn out and a bit bummed that it was all over lol. Oh well, I'm back and hope to post more in the new year. Happy belated New Year everyone lol.

A couple of weeks ago my in laws house burned down. My father in law was not home and my mil got out just in time. They don't live too far from us and I didn't even hear an engine or siren that morning. We are all shocked and saddened. This was the house my husband grew up in and his parents are in there 70's and it's a shame that they had this happen to them. I lost my home when I was 8 years old and know how it feels to loose everything. Well I'm not sure what they are going to do but will keep you all updated when I do. We had a problem with our water pressure this past weekend and had very little water. It's so cold here and we had to have the water dripping as we are prone to frozen pipes in this house. Hubby and I decided that we are going to move this spring/summer as this house will never get worked on like it should and it is owned by my brother in law. So after living here eight years we will move on. Easier said then done and it will be a true adventure for sure.

We had a good Christmas and the picture above is of my daughter and her new cousin on Christmas Eve. Ok I will update more later..stay warm out there.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Hi all. Just wanted to stop by and wish everyone a Merry Christmas. We will be leaving for my aunts house in a few minutes and I'm not sure when I will be back on. Take care and have a great holiday.

Thanks to Sonya for the great tag.

Holy Snow Batman lol

Hi all. Hope everyone is warm and cozy at home. It has been crazy here with high winds and tons of snow for the past few days. Friday and today my daughter had snow days. She goes back for one day then it is vacation time..woohooo lol. Two different storms have passed through here since Friday. It's so crazy that my hubby couldn't even deliver the newspaper last night. Tons of vehicles stuck in ditches. Even the plows themselves were in ditches. I just hope that Christmas is not going to be bad as we have a 45 minute drive ahead of us. Fun times lol. Oh and my husbands windshield wiper broke lol. Perfect timing I guess lol. We also need to get new tires on my car as it isn't too good in the snow. Gotta love winter lol.

I'm all done with my Christmas shopping thank goodness and we have made the cookies. The party was nice and we all chatted and baked and had some wine lol. My friend that was in the hospital is doing better. There are things she still has to follow up on that will suck but at least she is healthy enough to enjoy the holidays. We are going to bingo tomorrow and exchanging gifts so that will be a fun outing. I'm crossing my fingers that the snow will stay away as I drive there and back lol. Ok take care all and have a good week. Thanks again Sugar for the pretty tag :)

Christmas Countdown

Hey all. Hope everyone is doing well and staying sane from all the running around they are doing with the holidays approaching so quickly. I can't believe there is only nine days left. This month has flown by lol. Good news is I am about done with my Christmas shopping and about done sending out my cards..woohoo. Just have to get some stocking stuffers and wait for my shipments to come in and wrap them all up.

The other day I got a call from a good friend of mine and she was admitted into the hospital with a terrible kidney infection and they spotted a growth on her ovary. All that and she is also having problems with her colen. She is a breast cancer survivor and when I heard she had a growth I thought the worst. Well it turns out that is a cyst they think and are going to give her medication to shrink it after she recovers from her infection. They told her if she would of come in any later she might of had to get the kidney removed so I am very thankful for the good news even though she has had a bad time of it. I speak with her everyday and she seems to be improving and they may let her go home in a few days..woohoo :). So if you can please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.


This Saturday another friend of mine is having a cookie exchange party. I went to one last year at another friends house and it was crazy. Tons of people and tons of cookies lol. I know this one will be smaller but I will still make the only cookie I am good at making....chocolate chip LOL. Ok well I'm going to head out now. Take care and have a good week. Thanks again Sugar for the cute tag :)
