Hopeful

.....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. God bless you!......



I had a day to do a lot of reflecting on so many things yesterday. I made the time to do so. It was well needed.


I've written about so many things in my journal. To go back and to re read, I feel that I have grown so much as a person inside. I've said before and I'll always say this, I don't regret anything that I've done because it has made me the person that I am today. And this person that I am today; I can live with! And I like it!
There come a time where a person gets a bit tired of feeling the need of walking on egg shells, when there's no need to. Too many ego's getting in the ways. So many game playing. Is that fun? I don't want to be a part of that. It takes too much of my energy away from me, which I don't need. I love life! I love to be happy! I don't feel the need to have to explain my every actions, everything that goes on my my own home for the sake of different screen names, how many people that live in my home, why I write about my illnesses and not about this or that. I choose not to. Thats that!

I am who I am. You either like me or you don't. Thats fine with me. I'm not in any kind of a contest of a popularity either. All I do is want to just write in my journal the way that I do with no drama. And yes...it would be nice if jl would stop all the fighting. Is that wrong of me to ask? It used to be a place that was very differnt. Not anymore. Again...it goes back to where I feel like I'm walking on egg shells around jl. I don't like that feeling.
I put jokes in my journal for a reason. Trying to put some laughter throughout! Even though I do have my pains in my everyday life...I do my best not to make that my main subject. I have ms and fibromyalgia...and yes, I am in pain 24/7. Ok, thats establishied. Now, I move on in my life. Just because I have those, doesn't mean they have me!

No, I'm not leaving jl. I'm here to stay. I'm going to be very busy this weekend with my grandson, so I probably won't be posting. Again...I don't feel that I need to go into full detail about it. And this entry is in no way towards anyone. These are my thoughts and my feelings.
I choose to have certain things or people in my life for a reason. If they are going to be toxic for me, then I need to extinguish it. Then move on with my life! Just that simple. I have a lot of friends that I love dearly! :o) And I appreciate all that they have done for me. Thank you! :o)

LOVE LIFE!  LIVE LIFE!  ENJOY LIFE!  :o)


Gods blessings to you all!

Thursday

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. God bless you!......


 



Good morning! :o) Hoping all are doing and feeling well today. ;o)


Just a few more pictures of some that I had scanned for my daughter and I just thought that I'd post them. :o) I know...you're probably sick of seeing them. :o) Just let me know. :o)

My daughter was sick yesterday, so she couldn't make it over. Bless her heart. DH took over some Tylenol and some 7-up and some goodies for our grandson too...to help her feel better. :o)

My physical therapist came this morning. uuuhhh! A big Ouchie! With all of this sudden change in the weather...it's just been playing havoc on my body! ggrr! Not cool man! I told her that all day yesterday that I kept tripping and almost falling! Yikes! Don't need that to happen! It was all about the right side. I didn't know if it had something to do with my foot, ankle or my hip...all I knew was I was an acident ready to happen! And I was doing my best to NOT happen! :o) Whew! Sooo...this morning...she found out what the problem(s) were. I knew she would! lol :o) It was all three! My whole right side was flared up! Again, she had me in tears after she was done. Lets just hope that today I'm not going to be so "off!" Not a good thing!

I didn't sleep well at all last night because of my right hip. I woke up several times and had a hard time trying to find a comfortable spot to go back to sleep. So...I just got up. :o) What else is there to do?! :o)
I had this weird dream about my grandson too! Which made me wake right up in a cold sweat! I hate when that happens. Probably because I had my daughter on my mind. :o)

I'm just so used to being the one thats the care taker and not the one that needs to be taken care of! And with her not being here...and being a mom...I worry! :o) Just being a mom! :o) That will never go away! :o)

Today...I'm going to do what my physical therapist told me to do....rest! Yes...I'm actually going to listen for once! lol :o) I have to...I'm in way too much pain today to NOT to! So I don't have much of a choice. Bummer! :o) This is what happens when I push myself! When you feel good...you don't realize it...but you pay for it later! And yeppers...I'm paying today! :o) But, thats ok...I'll recover and be right back again! :o)

I do appreciate all of your comments! They really do help me with getting through my days! ;o) Thank you! Gods blessings to all of you!

The Mirror....! :o)


There was once a magic mirror in a ladies room in a bar. If one stood in front of this mirror and tells the truth, one is granted a wish. However, if one tells a lie, *POOF* you are instantly swallowed up by the mirror, never to be seen again.

A redhead of questionable looks walks into the Ladies Room and stands before the mirror and says, "I think I'm the most beautiful woman in the world." *POOF* The mirror swallows her.

Next, a rather large brunette stands before the mirror and says, "I think I think I'm the sexiest woman alive! *POOF* The mirror swallows her.

Then an absolutely gorgeous blond comes in and stands before the mirror and says, "I think..." *POOF*


 


 


Blonde Cousin Ellie is the world's worst at getting instructions mixed
up. When she got married, her husband bought her one of those fancy,
electric coffee makers. It had all the latest gadgets on it.

Salesman Riley carefully explained how everything worked; how to plug
it in, set the timer, go to bed, and upon rising, the coffee is ready.

A few weeks later, Ellie was back in the store, and Riley asked her how
she like the coffee maker.

"Wonderful!" she replied. "However, there IS one thing I don't understand.
Why do I have to go to bed every time I want to make a pot of coffee?"


                          ( I have often wondered that, myself)...hmmmmm M.


 


A great day babysitting! LOL

Good morning! :o) I hope that everyone is doing and feeling good today! :o) I'm doing and feeling the 'usual' or the 'norm!' :o)


Yesterday....my daughter had a doctors appoinmtnent to go to and I watched my grandson. ;o) Yay! :o)
The first thing he did when he walked in the door was bypass my open arms for a hug...and go straight for his drums! LOL :o) So...I went over to him to get my hugs and kisses from him! :o)~ While he was doing that...my daughter left. He also has a little guitar here and he likes it if you play it while he drums! Soooo...I was the one that was playing the guitar! lol :o) We were singing and having a great time! :o)
He is really getting good on those little drums! (btw, Cindy...he's on the second set of sticks!) Yesterday, he is now 25 months! Wow! It just doesn't seem like it! :o)

My son came home for a bit and brought out some of his pieces of drums and set them up in the living room for him! His eyes got as big as saucers! LOL It was so cute to see him play on those! :o) He wailed! No kidding! :o)
Then we had to watch his favorite show, The Doodlebops. :o) He doesn't take his eyes off of that show. :o)
Finally my daughter came home, and he was so tired from playing. ;o) So he took his nap. :o)
It was so nice having my daughter and my grandson here last night! :o) Her boy friend came over too and we all as a family had supper! :o) I loved it! :o) Thats one thing I really miss. ;o)
We had went out on the front porch to sit and relax. And all of the sudden...my grandson noticed that he could see the moon! He loves the moon! :o) Too cute! So...he goes and sets on the second set of steps all by himself to just look up at the moon! :o) Adorable! :o)
I had to get pictures! lol And one of our neighbors was walking his dog that comes by everynight...asked if he was afraid of dogs...nope! Not him! :o) So he let him pet his dog. :o) He loved it! :o) This guy is super nice. :o)
It was getting late....so we had to go in. The had to get ready to leave and he was getting tired too. :o) He had a full day, and so did I! :o)
I hope that everyone has a great day! :o) Gods blessings to all of you! :o)

The Supermarket


A new supermarket opened near my house. It has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain.

When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and experience the scent of fresh hay.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cluck and cackle, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

The veggie department features the smell of fresh buttered corn.

I don't buy toilet paper there any more.


 


 


Simple Home Remedies


1. If you are choking on an ice cube simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. Presto!

2. Avoid cutting yourself slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold while you chop.

3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink..

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer..

5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button .

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives.

7. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

8. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.


Just alittle more! :o)

Good afternoon! I hope that all is well today! :o) It's suppose to be hot here today...but we did have some pretty nice and cool weather. :o) That did give me a nice break for awhile. ;o)


Photobucket was giving me a hassel earlier...so no grapics today. ;o)


I'm having alot of fun scanning pictures! lol I'm sure you can tell! :o) I shared what pictures I do have of my biological father. And the rest of the pictures I have. I met him right after  had my daughter in 1985. I'd love to really know more about this side of my family...especially about medical! Thats very important to me because my doctor has told me that alot of my illnesses has come from my father! So...I've tried calling him and asking, but...didn't get very far! :o) Oh well. :o)


In the pictures of me....it shows how I was naturally thin. Which my matabolism was high...I couldn't gain weight.
It was when I was 15...when my mom said to me," When I get older, she see's me getting fat!" That I felt as a teenager was pretty devastaing to hear! I was trying to gain wait and I hear this from my mom! What? Thats when I became what is now known as anorexic!
I've been struggling with this disease ever since! It will always be in the back of my head....it does not go away! The eating part! Yes...since then...my mom and I have talked about all of this and she of course didn't realize that just by saying what she did would put me in such a state. Well...neither did I! Who does? It happened!
I did get the help I needed. But...I still struggle every single day of my life with eating! I guess it's like drinking. I don't know. My weight gain now is because of my medicines. What I look like now is what I seen in the mirror when I was 15! I know alot of the tricks and how to be sneaky to get out of eating. It's easier then you think. And it all came from an innocent comment.


Today....my daughter and my grandson is coming over!!!! A big YAY!!! :o) I can't wait! :o) More pictures! lol :o) I haven't seen them in a week! :o) Thats a long time for me...I'm having withdraws! ;o)


I want to thank all my new readers! ;o) Thank you for all of your kind words. ;o)
I need to get going! :o) Gods blessings to you all! :o)

~The best of times!~

.....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. God bless you!......


 



Yes....I'm sharing more pictures! :o) These to me are great memories! :o) No, they do not make me feel like I'm at all stuck in a rut. Why? Because I have no regrets at all of what I did! :O) None! :o) I lived my life to the fullest! :o) The best that I could. :o)
Yes....seeing these pictures makes me wish I could do those things again, but...I already have done them! :o)
With every opportunity that I had, I seized the moment with my family and we did what we could to have the best of times! :o)

Even on Thanksgiving...lol...I had fun with our turkey! lol I put a foil bikini on it! :o) When it was done...it had a nice tan! LOL :o)~

I've even done things in my past that most of you would gasp at! lol Oh yes...me! :o)
And, I do not regret this at all either! :o)
My Dh was going out with his brother on the weekends. I would come home and tell me that all they were doing were just "riding around!" Yea right! I cought him in a lie! I called him out on it! He fessed up to it and told me that they were going to this place in Dayton called the Excaliber club! So, I told him that I wanted him to take me there so I could see for myself what this place was like. :o) What it was was just girls dancing on a stage. No nudity. So...while we were there...one of the girls sat down at our table and started talking to me! LOL :o) He didn't like this. He wanted to leave...I said no...you like this place so well so we're staying! That night...I ended up getting a job! LOL We stayed until the place closed! I made sure of that. :o) The next night, I went in and danced for two nights...the weekend! I wore this outfit that covered me very well. I quit after that! :o)~ That stoped him from going to thoseplaces! And I just danced! Since I was a new girl, I was only on the stage and nothing more! :o) So, thats was fun! I don't regret it one bit! :o) It was a tastful place. And that was that! :o)

Just because I have my illnesses...doesn't mean that I'm not in here..if that makes sense. :o) I'm still me! :o) I'll never be in a rut, nor will I ever be stagnet! :o) I'm one that keeps things going! lol :o) I love changes...! :o) And even though I'm not able to move with my abilities...I am in my head! :o) If there's a will, there's a way! :o) God's proven that to me already! :o)


I also really want to thank you for your comments to! If you only knew how much they really do help me keep going! :o) They do so very much! And I thank you! :o)
Have fun in life! Hug everyone! :o) Laugh! :o)

This morning, I woke up at 2:00! Good grief! :o) So...I got started on a project that my daughter's boy friend asked me to do. ;o) He wanted me to go through my photo albumns and copy some pictures for him of my daughter throughout the years! lol :o) Noooo problem! :o) I posted a few of what I copied this morning. ;o) He's making a slide show for their wedding of her. :o) It's going to be so sweet! :o) Plus...as her mother, I have a few pictures of her that she wouldn't want anyone to see! lol :o) But...I'm not going to do that! :o) Just the cutie ones! :o) So...thats why I have the pictures posted...just wanted to share. :o) I think that my grandson looks alot like she did when she was his age! :o) Well I know he sure does act like her! LOL :o)
Going through those albumns really put me in a state of mind that I really wasn't ready for. It's been awhile since I've looked through them. Yes...we all know that I am a picture-holic and I love pictures! But these pictures are from a different time in my life. The better times. Seeing them put smiles on my face! :o) All of the things we used to do and the places we used to go to and the vacations we used to go on! Wow! :o) We did so much as a family! :o) We had a blast! And I have the pictures to show for it! :o) Thats the happy part! :o)
The weird part is I grieve for the lose of it all. I had a great job and a busissness that I had out out of my own house, that was successful. I so miss working. Plus I did volunteer work for meals on wheels. And we still did all of this! :o) We would go camping, Florida on spring break, all kinds of things. Taking in deep breaths.

Amazing how your life just stops! Just like that! And so did the pictures too.

My physical therapist will be coming this morning...so not looking forward to that! uuhh! Just knowing how thats going to hurt. ggrr! I was thinking about going ahead and calling the pain clinic again. Thats my last resorce on any kind of pain relief.


I'm going to leave now. She should be on her way soon! :o)
Gods blessings to all of you! :o)

Funny....


Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. As they lay down for the night, Holmes said: "Watson, look up into the sky and tell me what you see".

Watson: "I see millions and millions of stars".

Holmes: "And what does that tell you?"

Watson: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Theologically, it tells me that God is great and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"

Holmes: "Somebody stole our tent."



 


After driving for about six hours, a trucker decides to pull over and sleep for a little while. As soon as he falls asleep, he is awoken by some knocks on the door of the cab.

"Can you tell me the time, please?" asks a jogger.

"Yeah, it's 4:30," answers the trucker. He falls asleep again, but he is awoken again by another jogger who wants to know the time.

"It's 4:40!" yells the trucker. Deciding to really try to sleep a little, he writes on a piece of paper: I DON'T KNOW THE TIME. He sticks the paper in his windshield.

But he is awoken again. 'It's 5:25," says another jogger.

Good morning! Hoping that all is feeling and doing well this morning. ;o)


We've decided to stay and not move. Cheaper for us in the long run. Right now, he's looking into getting a railing for the front steps. He knows the extent of what needs to be done to this house to make it up to where I'll be able to get around in the wheel chair. Door ways widened, another ramp in the front, the front door has to be widened and fixed so I am able to get out of it and on to the porch. uuhh! A very long list! Just one week at a time. :o)
We were going to rearrange this room last night...but we both just didn't have it in us to do it. I didn't have the mind frame to think where I wanted anything, and he didn't feel very well. And the person that lives with us was in bed. Maybe today. :o)

Dh and I had dinner together while watching tv last night. There are some very mean and weird people out there! Just down right mean! Why? I've always wondered why do they make it a point to just make a persons life a living hell? Torture them! Is it fun? We couldn't even wrap our brains around the hatred and the meaness that these people seem to posses! They found the body of the missing woman that lives here in Canton, Ohio....dead! :o( Again...I just don't understand it. What possess these people to be and do such things? Why? And then go and live a "normal" life. How? How can someone be so full of hate and meaness and hurt others and then go about their "so called normal" lives? I just don't get it. It upsets me.


Moving on......


Today is nice and cool. :o) Good for my body. I got up early again, and I just went out on the porch and sat for a bit. :o) It was so nice and quite! ;o) I couldn't sleep very well last night.My room kept getting too hot for some reason. ggrr! :o) Come to find out, someone had turned the air up! So, it's now back down where it's suppose to be. Whew! :o)
My DH woke up and was telling me that his energy was low this moring too. I'm wondering now if there's something going around again. Geesh! :o) I hope not! Hopefully he just over did himself yesterday. ;o)

I'm done I guess. :o) I'll stop here. Yes...my body still hurts and I feel the same.
Gods blessings to all of you! :o)


 


HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?


You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10



No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
-- Kristen, age 10



WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10



HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8



WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8



WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)



On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10



WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9



WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7



The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
-- Curt, age 7



The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
-- Howard, age 8



IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)



HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8



And The #1 Response Was...
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump truck.
-- Ricky, age 10

Label Instructions


In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed because of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Myer hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

On a bag of Chips: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Palmolive soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???....)

On some frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).

On Nanna's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh)!

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating."(...and you thought????...)

On packaging for a K-Mart iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and...I'm taking this because???....)

On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only."(as opposed to...what?)

On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use."(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)

On Nobby's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash!)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet,eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one: On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."

On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Good morning! :o) In hopes that all are feeling and doing well. :o)


I'm recuperating from my fun filled week that I had with my kids and grandson! :o)  The shivers are now gone and all of the other things that was going all wrong as well. With the exceptions of my pains. Those will probably never go away. :o) I pray for them to. :o)
I did get some towels with some tea water on them on my back. That really helped! Thank you for the suggestions! :o) The aloe always helps. :o) The burn is gone and now into a tan. ;o) Whew! :o)
I'm still very tired feeling and my energy level is still nil. My DH told me last night that he wanted to take me to get me a few out fits today. ( Wow) But, I had to turn him down. I just don't have the energy to go anywhere. Plus...I'd rather him to save the money anyways, because we have other things going on that need to be taken care of first. I'm fine.
Still need to talk about if we will be living here are not. Or, put more money into this place to make it to where I can get around it better. Tough deciscion. We can only do so much with what we have. :o)
We've been doing alot of talking. :o) And this one is a major one.
Sooo...I don't have plans for today. Just to relax. :o) And more talking! :o) Keep us in your prayers! :o)


 



Thank you for all of your comments and suggestions! I really appreciate them all. ;o) Gods blessings to you all. ;o)



 


 


Life is an ebb and flow of constant changes.
Starting from the existence of a tiny seed
Blooming with hopeful life,
To the springing forth of a being so full of
future promise.
Who continually changes throughout the ever flowing paths of life's ups and downs!
Changing constantly in form and status
While experiencing aweakenings, frustrations, sadnesses, and a gamut of feelings,
Related to disappointments, untimely occurrences, unwanted occirences,and exciting
occurences,
Often rarely prepared for the changes to come.
Dealing with the making of new adjustments,
While letting go of the familiarity and comfort of the past.
Knowing that what was so secure yesterday was just a fleeting moment in time.
As we go through life continuing to make adjustments related to life's happenings,
Seeking to find that inner peace and happiness,
trying to adjust to each step of life's
neverending changes!


-Maria Perez

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 morning! I hope that everyone is feeling good this morning. ;o)


I had such a wonderful time yesterday! Being out side was great. ;o) Of course...I was in my little pool, playing with my grandson. ;o) The water felt great...it wasn't cold. Well...at least to me...again, I can't tell if it really is or not.
I made sure that I wasn't in the sun so I wouldn't get burned. I'm not suppose to be in direct sun light. I would get out and go sit in the shade, then get back in the pool again to play. ;)
I thought that would be alright. We weren't out side for all that long. But, for me I guess it was. I lost track of the time. Too much fun! :o) My back started to feel funny, and I had my daughter look at it for me. It was abit burned! Oh man! So, I stayed in the shade. It was getting really hot. I pushed myself too far.
When I came in side, I checked the temp. and it said it was 93 degrees out! Yikes! :o(
My grandson had had enough playing and was getting tired. ;o) It was his nap time. :o) So, my daughter went ahead and left so he could take his nap. ;o)
I just sat here feeling all out of sorts! I was so dizzy...sick to my stomach and not at all well! Why do I do things like that when I know better? Geese!
My energy was nil! I could barely move. Pains everywhere! All I had to take were some Tylenol, and I took them. I went to rest in my bed.
My DH came home and right away could tell that I over did myself! He helped me with getting my hair up and with other things that I couldn't do.
8:30 came around and he asked me if I wanted to go sit on the porch. Maybe thinking it would make me feel better. It made me sick to think about it. Only because of the heat. When we sit on the porch in the evenings, thats when he waters my plants for me. :o) So, last night for the first time, he watered them by himself. ;o)
At 9:00...I told him that I had to lay down. And thats the last I remember until I woke up this morning! :o) I got up at 4:30! Wow! I slept good! :o) I've had a very full week. ;o) I really need to rest. Whew! I just had too much fun! lol :o) I need to learn how to save me energy and how to stay cool while in the heat. :o) I'm still learning. :o)
It's raining out right now....so there's no chance of me going out side today! :o)


 


Joke....


A blonde with two red ears went to her doctor.

The doctor asked her what had happened to her ears.

She answered, "I was ironing a shirt and the phone rang, but instead of picking up the phone, I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear."

"Oh dear!" the doctor exclaimed in disbelief. "But what happened to the other ear?"

"The SOB called back!"

My fun in the sun day! :o)


:o)~

Always wear clean underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle..




From the Northwest Florida Daily News comes this story of a couple who drove their car to Wal-Mart, only to have their car break down in the parking lot. The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car in the lot.

The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis.

Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand UP his shorts, and tucked everything back into place.

She took a deep breath and stood up boldly to face the crowd. She looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband, who had been standing idly by.




The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.

HIPAA/physical therapy

Good morning. :o) I hope everyone is feeling as good as they can today. ;o)


The rest od yesterday, I rested up from my little visit from seeing my daughter and grandson. ;o) It's what the doctor ordered! :o) They can always make me feel better! :o)


I called her last night and ivited them over for today. ( big grin) Maybe play in the pool and have some fun here out side! :o) She doesn't have any plans...so they are going to come over! YAY! :o)


This morning, my physical therapist came in and scared me to death! LOL :o) She came back from her vacation early! I was glad to see her. My body really need the deep tissue massage. But, I don't like to go through it. :o)~ It hurt like you no what...but I do feel better. 
She had asked me how my doctor's appointment went on Tuesday. So, I was telling her about it.
I told the about the part when I heard my name called and another lady got up and went in. Well...I just thought her name was Lisa too. No biggie. Right after that, the door opened and they called for another girl. she wasn't there. The nurse had her file in her hand! They were looking for her and checking the front desk at the sign in sheet and still was calling for her. She called her again and the nasked me if I was her. I said no and told her my name. I had been sitting for an hour and a half waiting. I just thought they were busy. Not so! The nurse got my file mixed up with the other girl that she was looking for! She had my file in the room with her! She called me in and told me that she mixed up our files! So...it was my name she called. So, isn't that against the HIPAA? When I told this to my therapist...the look on her face was shock! She can't tell me anything, because she isn't allowed to. So that could explain then why I got one right script, and one script that I was suppose to get, but didn't. I was going to call the office back, but I really don't like this doctor at all. He could use a course in "bed side manners." And his staff has caused me one too many times to go without my meds. after I've called them in. Thankfully the visit was only a check up, but I still don't feel comfortable at all with him. Yes, I am still looking for another gp. But there isn't any around here that are accepting my insurance at the moment. ggrr!


So...that was my morning. And, alittle more indebth of my doctor's appointment.


My pains are still on a good level. :o) Just alittle bit of a shock feeling now...since the massage. But that just goes with all of it! ;o)
It's called life! :o)


I had another good evening last night. :o) Things are moving good. :o)


Well...I need to get off of here to get a few things done. :o) Have a good one! :o)


Gods Blessings to you all! :o)

Shaken Baby syndrome

This is a something thats very important to my daughter and I. Please visit her journal for more information. This baby needs everyones prayers.


Thank you.


Pictures of my morning! :o)


 


Jokes! :o)~


A young lady stops by her grandmother's house on the way to a dance. She wants to introduce her boy friend to her grandmother. As they are chatting, her boy friend spies some peanuts on the coffee table. He begins munching on them as they converse.

After about an hour, they are getting ready to leave and he thanks the grandmother for her hospitality and especially for the peanuts.

"Oh, your welcome young man," she says. "I appreciate you finishing them up. Ever since I lost my dentures I can only suck the chocolate off of them."



 


An enthusiastic door-to-door vacuum salesman goes to the first house in his new territory. He knocks, a real mean and tough looking lady opens the door, and before she has a chance to say anything, he runs inside and dumps cow patties all over the carpet.

He says, "Lady, if this vacuum cleaner doesn't do wonders cleaning this up, I'll eat every chunk of it."

She turns to him with a smirk and says, "You want ketchup on that?"

The salesman says, "Why do you ask?"

She says, "We just moved in and we haven't got the electricity turned on yet."



 


While the barber is lathering the man up for his shave, the man expresses to the barber how he has a hard time getting a close shave on his cheeks.

The barber replies with a solution and pulls a small wooden ball out of this cabinet drawer. "Place the wooden ball between your cheek and gum on the right side and you will have a close shave on that side."

The man does this, and the barber shaves the right side of his face.

"Wow," exclaims the man, "that is great!" He puts the ball on the left side of his mouth, and with muffled voice asks, "Wht happons if I akkidentally swawo du bawll?"

The barber says, "Just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else.

Good morning....I hope all is well today. :o)


Finally woke up this morning with my pains in an even level once again! Yesss! :o)
So I called my daughter to see if she was busy so I can go over for a visit! :o) I miss them so much. I guess I need the noice of my grandson still around here too! lol Well...it's not noice...it's his laughter and his talking and asking me things! :o)


The weather is nice and cool...I hope it stays that way. That will also help my body stay the way it is for now at least. :o) I'd like that.

The rest of yesterday was pretty good. Since my daughter had moved out, we shared the computer...her personal use and for her classes. :o) Since then, my son had to have a screen name to get email for his band. :o) So...now..I have to chase him off just to get on in the evenings to clear my mail box for my graphics group! lol He was one that didn't like to go near the coputer...now I can't get him off it! lol He loves to watch youtube! :o) I nedd to get my lap top back today from my daughter! lol :o)
Dh came home and din't have a good day. He didn't talk. I am determined to turn this around and make things better. He came inside for something and I stopped him. I told him that I noticed something was up. He said he didn't want to talk. Oh no we don't! I asked him to please talk. Because I reminded him why! It worked! He sat down, and we talked! :o) He told me that he felt better...and the way he grew up...they weren't to do that! This is a slow learning proscess for him. Baby steps. :o)


So....today I KNOW is going to be a great day today! :o) I'm also going to take my camera. :o) I have to! lol
Gods blessings to all of you! :o)
