And if you might take an entry wrong and feel that it is about you, I'm sorry but It isn't, it just may seem to coincide with your own life. May God bless you!......

 

We had an over cast tonight...so, I didn't get very good pictures tonight. But...here's what I did get at around 10:30.

 

 

 

They're no nearly as good as last nights as all! :o)

Have a good night!

Amid stresses and strains,
much too many to mention,
And pressure-packed days
filled with turmoil and tension,
We seldom have time
to be friendly or kind,
For we're harassed and hurried
and always behind...
And while we've more gadgets
and buttons to press
Making leisure time greater
and laboring less
And our standards of living
they claim have improved
And repressed inhibitions
have been freed and removed,
It seems all this progress
and growth are for naught,
For daily we see
a word more distraught...
So what does it matter
if man reaches his goal
And gains the whole world
but loses his soul?
For what have we won
if in gaining this end
We've been much too busy
to be kind to a friend?
And what is there left
to make the heart sing
When life is a cold
and mechanical thing?
And are we puppets
of controllled automation
Instead of joint heirs
to God's gift of creation?

The moon from last night!

I was up late last night and decided to take advantage of it! :o)
I took my camera and went out side and took a few pictures of the moon. ;o)
I'm not sure if you can see it, but when I loaded them on the computer.....I could see the 'blue' just starting around the outer sides of the moon! Beautiful! :o)
It was bright too! :o)
Here they are!

My grandson's doctors appointment! :o)~

.....Just to let you know, nothing in this journal's entry is toward anyone in specific, I use it to write my feelings, and about my illnesess,and in hopes it might help someone else as I do. And if you might take an entry wrong and feel that it is about you, I'm sorry but It isn't, it just may seem to coincide with your own life. May God bless you!......

 

Today...I went with my daughter to my grandson's doctor's appointment for the first time. :o)
Knowing him, like I do...lol...I knew this was going to be a fun little trip for me! LOL
Of course, he didn't know where he was going, just that I was going too! :o)
I get in the car and I take my camera with me. Not my digital...didn't think of that...I had a few pictures left and I wanted to take the rest to go ahead to take in and get developed. :o)
We are walking towards the buiding and he's showing me the water fountains and all of the other pretty things out side. :o) Once we get in the waiting room...it has a big fish tank and a huge block for little kids to play with! :o) He was showing me all of these really cool things! :o)

He was in heaven! LOL Then...he heard his name called! He ran for him mommy! We go to the little room and he has to be striped down to his diaper! :o) Uh oh! LOL That did it! This child has the strength of 3 grown men! No kidding! :o)
Time for him to be weighed and his height! :o) My daughter and I and the nurse were doing our best to hold him down and still for this! lol Didn't work! :o)
My nick name for him is "Bam Bam!" She finally got his weight...but then his height! Oh boy...another struggle! lol It reminds me of his mother 20 years back! LOL :o) Her doctor would laugh at how she would fight him off! LOL :o) Now he is just like she was! The apple didn't fall very far from the tree! :o)
Ok...got his height....then back to the room. :o)
Not a happy camper! He's sitting on my lap clinging to me! :o) Then the doctor comes in!
The poor thing was out of there!!! LOL ;o) He'd had enough! LOL This to me was funny! :o) Because I'd already been through all of this! lol :o)
The doctor of course needed to check him over. Well not without of good fight..and she knows him! :o)
After she was able to do her check...he fell asleep in my lap. ;o) Bless his heart! :o)
I bet he felt like he'd been through the ringer! lol :o) My daughter got him dressed and he relaxed more as soon as we left the building! :o)
After all of that...he deserved to go out for lunch! :o) So thats what we did! We went to Wendy's for lunch. ;o)
On the way home...he was so tired, he fell asleep again. ;o) My daughter called me to let me know that she had gotten to school ok...and I asked how he was doing. She told me that he was still sleeping when she left! :o) Poor thing had a hard little day! :o)

So...that was our day at his doctor's appointmnet! :o)

Good morning! :o) Today is going to be a full day for me! :o)
I'm going to go to the doctor's with my daughter and grandson. ;o) That will be fun! lol
She called me last night to tell me that he was dancing up a storm!!! LOL :o) He is too cute! :o) I talked to him on the phone and he was telling me all about how he was dancing and all about his day! :o) Bless his heart! :o) So, I'll get to spend my day with him! :o) Thats great medicine for me! :o)

I finally was able to get ahold of my neurologist yesterday. Not an easy task. I have been with out any kind of ms medicines! I also let them know that I haven't recieved their fax yet. She let me know that it had been sent out weeks ago! What? But...not to me. I asked to who, and she gave me a number that I didn't reconize! gggrr! I need those papers. Like I told her, I can wait. :o) I've waited this long, I can wait longer. :o) The nurse was upset to hear that I was still not seeing nor on any meds yet. They looked in my charts and yes, it is wrote up for me to be seen by an ms specialist and to start me on the meds. Well...somehow, my charts just sat there! She just kept asking me if I was alright! Well...no, I'm in alot of major pain, but I just told her ues. What can be done now? She told me that it would take too long to get me into the doctor in Cinncy...so my neuro is going to try in get me into someone in my area asap! Whew! After I hung the phone up...I just thanked God for His help in this matter! :o) So much was lifted off my shoulders at that time! Whew! :o) Because when I was explaining what I have been going through...I guess isn't good. I don't know, this is all new. So...it looks like things are starting back up once again. :o) I can wait! :o)

I did sleep good again last night! :o) My body really needs that.
I woke up at 8:30! Wow...thats late for me! lol :o)

I do hope though...that everyone else isn't in much pain today. I know how it feels. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
I do want to thank all of you for your continued suport. It means alot to me. :o) It does help when you do have friends that do stand by you when you're going through difficult situations...no matter what! :o) Thank you! :o) Gods blessings to all of you! :o)

In my opinion.....

 

People write in there journals for so many reasons. Some to talk about their everyday lives, some about thier families, their trips and adventures, their health, to vent, or just about anything they want. And who's to say that just because if someone writes about something that might have been a bad day for them makes them an unhappy person that doesn't know how to make themselves a happy person? Do we really know each other? Just by reading? Especially the people that have been writing in these journals for a long time! In my opinion....I do really know alot of the people. And I do really care about them too! Why? Because I know that they are somebody! I know that they are writing about their lives from their hearts! And whats so wrong with that? Nothing! In my opinion...I've never read anyone's journal that doesn't know how to make themselves happy! Including mine! Just because I'm in pain...or having a bad day...does not mean that I'm not happy! what I'd like to know is why do others have to insist that if someone writes about what I wrote about above....is an unhappy person! I push nothing down anyone's throat when I write. I don't try to convince anyone how I think they should live, write in their journals or what to believe. I also don't try to convince anyone how happy I am in every enrty! Becasue I know that I am...and thats all that matters to me! The people the know me now...know ME NOW! Simple. Like I've said before...I'd rather be hated for who I am....than to be loved for who I am not! People change. And I don't hold grudges....but surely someone still is! I've moved on in my life and I've changed and just by reading my journal doesn't mean that you know the me now! Advice....

-Free your heart from hatred

-Free your mind from worries

-Live simply

- Give more

-Expect less!

Man has responsibilitiy, not power!

-Native American proverb

Is anyone having this problem too?

For days now....I've been trying to switch around some graphics in my side bar. I usually change some graphics every now and then. I try to put them in where I want them....and they go straight down to the bottom! I'm not able to move them anywhere else! I was only wondering if anyone else was having the same problem. :o)
I'll just have to re do the whole side bar. :o) I was able to get a few on there...but thats was pure luck! LOL :o)
Have a good one!

Good morning everyone! :o) I do hope that all of you that do read  are feeling good today! :o)

Last night, we had a cook out. My daughter had already had plans....so it was just us and my son and his girl friend. We had brats and hot dogs! Boy did that hit the spot. ;o)
I stayed awake the rest of the day...and it wasn't very easy either! Whew! :o) I watched some old movies again. I watched the original version of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre! LOL Too funny! :o) And to think it once scared me! LOL :o)
It was getting late for me...around 7:30..( I know..I was beat)...I was needing tooth picks for my eyes! I was trying to stay awake to get my sleep schedule back to normal. 8:00 came...and I couldn't keep them open any longer! :o) I went to sleep! :o) I did it! I slept all through the night until 5:30! WooHoo! :o) Boy did my body need that! :o)

My physical therapist came this morning and my body wasn't hurting as bad. So she could give me the deep tissue massage. That hurt...but that always does. But at least she could do it. ;o) Am very thankful for that!


My legs are doing better too. :o) I'm hoping that I'll be able to go somewhere maybe tomorrow. :o) By my self! YAY! That would be nice! Like go visit my grandson! :o) Boy do I miss him! :o)

What a true saying in this graphic! I could also maybe go and visit my best friend too! :o) I really miss her alot! Going through all that I have in these past 7 months....well actually 2 1/2 years....she's the only one that has stood by me! :o) Like they say...when you're going through a hard time, is when you can tell who your real friends are! Boy isn't that the truth!
Sometimes...done't you just feel like someone is behind you doing this!

And you know they are! :o) Oh well! lol Let them! :o) In my eyes...there loss! :o)

I ran across this quote by Mother Theresa. I love it! It say alot!

"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat. We must find each other."

That says alot! Especially for someone like me...that isn't able to get out into the world everyday and go here and there and see everyone like I used to! Again....the only person that has stuck by me through it all has been my best friend! :o) I'm very thankful for that! I have many friends her on line as well too! :o) And many that have decided to 'just disappear.' Friends mean alot to everyone. :o) It'd be nice to hear from them again. ;o)

I just hope it won't take that long! LOL :o)

I also believe in angels on earth! :o) Thats why you should be nice to people that you don't know. ;o) You never know...! :o) I know that I've been blessed by many! :o)
Thank you for you comments! Gods blessings to you! :o)

I woke up early his morning! :o) Well...I had to be woken up. ;o) I wasn't able to get to sleep last night until around 4:30 this morning.
The parade starts at 9:00. So...I was already running late! :o)
Then I get a call from my daughter after a few sips from from first cup of coffee...asking if I was ready! lol She had over slept too! Whew! :o)
I didn't get to finsih my cup of coffee. I did the best I could to get woke up enough to get dressed, get my caneras' and out the door.

By the time we get to the main street the parade goes down...it was late! :o( I felt sooo bad. ;o( I didn't want my grandson to miss a thing! But he did. :o( My fault.
We found a place to stand so he could see perfect! :o) I took some pictures and then I had my daughter take some for me. I wasn't fully awake yet still.
I was showing him to wave at everyone that went by! :o) Then he started to blow them kisses too! lol :o) Even the big guys driving the huge Army trucks! :o)
(sorry aboutthe pictures...thats the only way that I could display them)
Our parade only lasts maybe 10 minutes at the most! Nothing too big, but it's a tradition for us. :o)
After it ended...my daughter was headed out to the cemetary to her grandmother's grave. I'd take her there myself every year.

Since I was a little girl...this day was a tradition for me as well. My grandparents would come to our house and pick us up. They would already have chocolate milk and doughnuts for us to have while we watched the parade! :o) Either the parade was longer and better back then...or it was because I was just smaller, I don't know! ;o) It was great though, just to be with my grandparents! ;o) It was an every year tradition that I always looked foward to. ;o)
I did the same thing with my kids too! They too looked forward to the chocolate milk and doughnuts for the parade! :o)
This year...we got them just in case! :o) In came my daughter and had some before we left! :o)
Just good memories and traditions! :o) I hope that my kids will carry these on as well! :o) It maybe something small...but it's something big! :o)
Gods blessings to all of you! ;o) Have a great day!

A portable closet/parade/and my opinion

.....Just to let you know, nothing in this journal's entry is toward anyone in specific, I use it to write my feelings, and about my illnesess,and in hopes it might help someone else as I do. And if you might take an entry wrong and feel that it is about you, I'm sorry but It isn't, it just may seem to coincide with your own life. May God bless you!......

 

Good evening! Not able to sleep again. Whats new..right? :o)

This morning my husband went to Wal Mart to find a portable closet for me to be able to hang my clothes up. I haven't had anything place to do that since we've lived here.
He found something nice that I liked that had a cover over it so my things would still be nice. :o)
For now, I have it in this room. Tomorrow I'll put it where I want it to go and then start hanging all of my clothes up! :o) YAY! :o)

My son came home after he had put it together and he doesn't have a closet either. He really liked it too. I told him where he got it and that he should get one as well. It's a perfect size for him too.
He's been in and out for the past two days. From working swing shifts at work and going to his girl friends fmailys functions for the holiday and yesterday....and today's work..he's really dragging his butt! He has another very busy day tomorrow as well! That was the only time we talked was earlier today...and he was on his way to bed so he could get a few hours of sleep before more work! Whew! :o)

I was sitting in my bed resting my body again. I called my daughter to see if she was going to go to the parade tomorrow morning. She was up in Wapakinata at a camp site! :o) They were up there on a little family break from all of the activities that were going on this weekend! :o) They needed it! :o) Also looking at a possible camper to buy so they'll have a place to go to escape the city! :o That would be so nice for them. ;o)
Well, She didn't know yet if they were going to go or not. So, I started to watch a movie. It was called Heathers. I've heard of it, but never seen it! lol It was different...thats for sure! :o)

She calls back at around 11:45! LOL :o) She's lets us know that she's going to the parade tomorrow morning! The parade starts at 9:00 am.! :o) And I'm going to go to! :o)
She had a bust day too....so she was up late as well..so it took her awhile to make up her mind to see which one they where going to go to...ours or another one. :o)

Today....I read a good friend of mine's journal. She made a very good point! It's been stuck in my head all day. When the subject is wrote about...and the way it is layed out...it is so well done! An excellent writer! :o) And what was said...in my opinion...was true! And I feel the same way. I've held my tongue about this subject becuase it really seems to be a very touchy subject...but I feel the need to express my feelings more on what she had wrote. Yes, when people are afraid to confront either religious figures or people that are religious. Meaning...a Luthern, Cathalic, etc...because some people take the fact that they 'are'  religious and then 'use' it against others! In the wrong way! In a bad way! Mean way! Which then makes others feel inferer! And or, less than! Even when we can belong to a church group...and we are all the same....there is always that someone that thinks they are 'better than' and will use scriptures out of the Bible to you to put you down! Is that right? Which makes people afraid to go to the religious figures of their church becuase they feel that 'they' are the ones that are wrong!

It's wrong! It's like it goes to their heads! Is that what Jesus would want? I'm just asking. And then to here the words of filth just flow right out of their mouths when they're not in or around their other church friends or groups! In my journal...I don't push anything....and I've been called..."A Jesus Freak!"...I've been banned from a journal because he told me that since I started commenting in his journal..."All of my Christian friends had been tormenting him and his friend!" What? I know of ONE person that would do that! And would do that to me!
And would do that to the person I'm talking about! And that wasn't very nice! And this is one of the things I'm talking about! "Using" your religion to get to people in a 'mean' way! It just not nice!

Yes...I have my beliefs...but I would NEVER do what I just said above! Never! Like I told a friend of mine a few days ago...the truth will come out in the end....and all I'm doing is sitting back and waiting! :o) The truth will always prevail!

I hope I didn't make everyone mad. It just really upsets me when people 'use' certain things such as their religion as a 'power' to hurt others. Plus...it's blaspheme. My opinion.

Ok...I'm off of my soap box now. ;o) Sorry. ;o)
I just get upset to easily..I'm just too sensitive I guess. :o) I need to work on that! :o)
A friend of mine was sending me some video's tonight of one of our favorite shows that we watch. :o) While I was there at youtube....I had this song in my head and just could shake it! gggrr! lol So...I looked it up and I had to listen to it! I love this song! :o)
It's called Beautiful, by Christina Aguilera. :o) Here are the lyrics;

Don't look at me Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone and the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words won't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words won't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times

We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

Now I'll have this song in my head all night! lol Thats ok...because I do like it alot. :o)

I also found some good quotes and proverbs too. ;o) I was looking for something else and ran across them! :o)
I need to go now...I have to try and get to bed. :o)
Gods bleesings to all of you! :o)

Good morning to you all! :o) I hope that everyone is feeling good this morning. ;o)

I had such a wonderful time yesterday! :o) Yes...lol..I do have pictures also! :o)
Even though my night before wasn't a very good one...it all turned out to the good. :o)
I have my cell phone next to me, in my bed...just in case someone needs me. Well...lol...my ringtone is "Crazy Train," by Ozzy... and my daughter happened to call me bright and early! I was up!!! LOL Of course..she didn't know the night I had, so usually I would have been up already! :o) lol She just has a question to ask me...that was all! :o) lol Yes, my phone is turned up all the way! :o)~  I had to un-cross my eyes before getting out of bed...then go and get my coffee! LOL Whoo!


After doing my best gulping down some coffie...and trying to read some journals....I realized I was running late! lol My only speed is slow anyways...so I knew I had to get moving and start getting ready for the party! :o) Even though I had 2 hours....that still wasn't long enough! :o) Still having only one eye open...I'm trying to find something to wear! :o) How fun is that when you don't have much to choose from! :o)
The bathroom was empty....I thought I'd better hurry up and jump on that one....and worry about what to wear later! In the mean time...my mom and sister are on their way over as well. It takes me about 25 mintutes just to take a shower! Whew! I know...yes, that IS a long time! Oh well! lol :o) Then I have my hair to dry. Which I come back down here to do. :o) By then, my mom and sister are here and my best friend too! Yay! :o) I was running late! lol
I got my hair done...put my mascara on...then my clothes! YESSS!!! :o) Looked at the clock......I was going on a half hour late!
I rode with my mom, because of her seats in her van are much easier for me to get in and out of. :o) I wanted to drive my car because I have air in it...but...I weighed out what was the better for me to do...mom's van! :o) Roll the window's down! lol :o)
Thankfully...it didn't rain! :o)
We got there and I went over to my grandson! :o) He was sitting at a picnic table eating. :o) He didn't look like he was in a very good mood at all! Bless his heart! He reached for me and I had to pick him up....I just can never deny that...no matter how much pain I'm in! He held on to me and gave me such a big hug!  He's going through the stage now where he gets embarressed and is shy now! Bless his heart!
He felt better...and it was time for him to open his presents! :o) He wasn't even in to doing that either. My daughter sat with him and helped him through this! :o) Then time to blow out his 2 candles! Nope....didn't want any part of that either! :o) But...he did it! He blew one out....took a swipe of some frosting...looked like it gave him the energy to blow out the other one! LOL :o) But he did it! :o)

I was really in alot of pain. But wanted to stay as long as I could! :o) It was getting to the point to where my body was feeling like it was locking up on me! I told my daughter that I needed to go, and told everyone my good byes. ;o) Especially the birthday boy! :o)
As I was walking to the van with my mom...my legs and the trunk of my body was feeling the same way. I don't understand these feelings. I had my walker. My legs gave out on me a few times. And the same pains I've been having as well. I felt as if I was turning to (for lack of a beter word) cement! And walking in it! Along with having all of the pains I've been having as well. I'm not understanding these at all. I know that I was told they are the ms stuff going on...but since I'm in a progressive state right now...I don't know what to think or anything. It's just the oddest thing to go though right now. I need to find out so much more on ms...but haven't been able to. My eye sight has been getting worse as well. Just have to go and get them examined. :o) Just waiting on it all to pass. Keep me in your prayers. :o)
I guess I've rambled on enough now! lol :o)~ Thats was my day yesterday! It was so much fun! I had a blast at my grandson's birthday party! :o)
I'm sooooo far behind on all my journal alerts...I'll get to them as soon as I can! :o) Don't give up on me! :o)
