I'm not going anywhere today!!! :o)

                          Good morning!
I woke up too early this morning. It was a little after 1:00! Not good. I only was able to get a few hours of sleep. my pains woke me up. It's -3 degrees out right now and it's pretty cold in here as well! I don't mind that part at all, because I can put my house robe on. :o)
Well, I have finally gotten all of my errands done yesterday! YAY! lol My mom took me around to where I needed to go, and my daughter went with us as well! :o) It was so much fun...like a girls day out! :o) I haven't had that in a very long time! My mom needed to get her hair trimmed too, so we both had our hair done as Wal Mart while we were there shopping! :o) I had some photo's to get developed, so while they where doing that, we had our hair done...I tried to get my daughter to get her hair just trimmed, but she wouldn't have any part of it! :o) So, I went in first ....there was some waiting. Because I was getting a wash, trim and a style. :o) <----happy couldn't wait smile! While she was doing my hair, she was giving me curls all over! It looked so pretty! :o) I loved it! Then she asked me if I wanted her to give me an updo! I've never had someone else do that for me ever...I've always done them myself, like when I was modeling, I had to do my own hair! :o) So..I was excited! :o) All she did was pull a few little rows of hair back and put bobby pins in to hold it! That was it! :o) Wow! And it looked like that she did more to it! :o) I can do that! But Nena would have to curl my hair for me! :o) Then it was my moms turn! She just got a trim! lol :o) So...each time I go in there, ( they know what I have, and they know that I'm not able to do my hair very easy so they give me easy ways to do it) they are going to show me different way to do my hair! :o) I thought that was so nice of them to do for me! :o) Plus...I give good tips too! :o) They don't really know how much I so appreciate what they do for me! :o)

Yeppers!!! Dreams are made of this!!! LOL :o) Well...some are! ;) <------evil grin! lol :o) Just some eye candy...woo hoo! LOL
So, when we were done with our little hair do's, we finished up our little shopping trip. :o) My daughter's birthday is this month, and I asked her what she wanted. She wanted a CD player for her car! :o) So, thats what I got her! :o) She was happy. :o)
I started a friend of mines "Care Package!" I think she'll like what I've chosen to put in it. :o) My son came in here last night, and he seen what I had and asked me what it was, and I told him! He came over to me, gave me a hug, and told me how nice of a person I am to do something like this, and to put my problems aside to help someone! :o) I couldn't believe he said that! The hug, yes...but he is very sentimental. He knows how caring I am to others and maybe thats why he's that wat too. I don't know. :o) It's the thought that counts, and the love in your heart! :o)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Yes I will!!!! LOL :o) ^^^^^^^^lol More eye candy! lol
Today, I have no plans whatsoever, to go out today! No way! :o) My right eye has this "goopy" stuff in it, and I have a tissue wipping it to keep it so I can see. I probably have a cold in my eye. So far so good with catching a cold....since I was out in his cold 3 days in a row! I can handle the eye, but it's harder on me of course if I get a cold and then it's goes right in my chest! When I went out each time, I wore 4 shirts! And put a sweat shirt or a sweater over them! I was making sure I wasn't going to get too cold....but amazingly enough, I did freeze! That wind just went right through all of my clothes! Yikes!
Well....on the 14 this month, is our 21 aniversary! :o) I think I deserve a plaque of some kind! LOL Kidding! I do think that he did stay home yesterday to watch over me.....someone had mentioned that in a comment. When I walked in with my new do....He look at me and smiled and said, "I love your hair, it really looks good!" He doesn't do that! lol He never even notices my hair! lol So it must have looked good for him to notice it. :o) I'll have to try and re do it today and take a picture. :o)
My hips feel like I'm actually in labor! :o( Ouchie! :o( They actually feel like they are spreading and of course, as if the bones in side have been carved on! And like I have these steal rods going through them side ways! :o( My thighs are nothing but these large muslce cramping that are sticking out. My thighs are sooo sore and hurt so bad, it hurts to even touch them! Or to have anything tough them! :o( I'm wearing silk pj's because they don't feel like burlap on my body! Oddly enough...even my hands are so cramped up, they are in that shape again of a "c"! Yesterday, I put them up against a wall to get them open and straightened out. It hurt as well. They're swollen too. I'm going to keep putting them on a wall or at least something like that, to keep them as open as posible. So....that's my life! :o) The rest of my body hurts as well, but not as bad as what I had mentioned. So, I'll just say that my whole body, including my face and head, is killing me! uuuhhh! Today is nothing but a rest day for me! :o) I know I really over did myslef...and pushed myself way too much! Just glad I'm done! :o)
I'm going now...it has taken me an hour an a half to write this! Geesh! lol
Thank all of you for your comments! :o) God's blessings to you all! :o)

~Me, like it or not~

Well I more then likely have a few people mad at me, but do I really care, no.
Moving on.....

Yesterday was another busy day again! :o) My physical therapist came this morning and really worked me over! Yikes! Even my hands had little muscle cramps! lol I was up talking to a friend of mind last night through email and I haven't typed that much in sooo long! lol :o) But I had fun! :o)
My whole body was in a mess this morning, and I knew I'd be paying for going out of the house! Oh well, I had fun! :o) And I need to go out again today. I should be finally finishing the rest of what I need to get done today! Whew! When I really could have gotten it all done in one day, but it was/is just too cold to be out for too long! So I just cut the times in 3's! :o) My mom is coming over to take me, so I won't have to go out by myself today. :o) Thats good! :o)

Again, I'm not about to wash my hair, and it really upsets me. I'm losing abilities right and left! So, my mom and I are going to get are hair trimmed today, and I'm going to get a wash and style as well. :o) Thats the only way that I know how to have my hair washed, because I don't know of any place that can come and do it for me.
It's embarrassing, but what can I do?
Last night, I had a pretty bad stomachache. I couldn't eat. I hope I'm not coming down with anything. When I got up this morning, it was 6 below zero degrees out! Yikes! Now thats too cold! Oh...it's getting warmer now, it's -1! :o)
My husband stayed home today...he's not sick or anything, so I don't know why. It's very unlike him to do this unless he's very sick and can't walk! He told me that the night before that he had a dream about me. But then...he had to make a joke from it...lol! He told me to stay out of his dreams! He said he sees me enough when he's awake! LOL :o) Too funny! :o)

So, after I get the rest of the stuff done, I'm coming home, and getting in the tub! :o) Then rest a bit. Because I already know that my body is going to react to this cold. So I'm already going to prepare for it. :o) See, I'm not so stupid when it comes to some things! LOL :o)
I did get a set of walkie talkies. I use them for when I'm sick here at home. We used to have two sets of intercoms at our old house because it was so huge! But I can't find them anymore. I would love to have more of those again. The other ones just got old and died on me. Since then, I haven't been able to find any. These work fine until I can find them again. :o)
I need to go. Hope everyone has a great day and please stay inside! It's too cold out! Thank you all for your emails and comments! :o) Gods blessings to all of you! :o)

~Boycotting~

Well, tonight I read one of my friends journal and she is very upset! The drama that is going around in the graphic making communinity is plain childish!
It has now gotten to the point to where she is going to go private! :o( Is that fair? NO! If it's the same person thats doing it again that was doing it before needs to get over herslef! To you; "You are not all that!" I've decided to boycot your journal and your graphics because if you chose to act in such a manner to chose to act in a grammer school way, then I do not want to associate with such a person! I'm an adult, not a child!

It's obvious that you won't care about my decision because you certanly don't care about others feelings! How about trying to stand in their shoes for a day, and see how it feels like! I doubt if you would! You being so full of yourself, having photo's of you all over your journal, you can't see past that! How sad! So, you find someone that you know that everyone likes, and start picking on them and harrasing them! And why? To stroke your ego? Thats all I can come up with!
Maybe the next time you decide to start more drama in J-land; you might want to remember how WE ALL do stick together! No one goes for someone that just get their kicks from picking on someone!

~Living in Anartica~

It is so cold right now! It's 0 degrees right now! bbbuuurrrr! And the wind chill factor I have no idea, I just no it's cold!
I went out yeaterday and did a few errends that I really needed to get done. Wow! The wind actually blew ME back a few steps! If it can do that, then thats some strong wind! lol :o) It just cut right through you! I just could take it....so now I'm going to try to finish my errands today. Just want to get them all done.
I woke up this morning with all of my blankets  off of me and all over the place! I do remember dreaming something that was kind of scary. And that I was having sleep activity in bed...I think if I wouldn't have woke up when I did, I'm afraid I might have sleep walked! :o( Not good! This has been happening more and more recently! :o( I'm glad I have an appointment to see my sleep specialist soon. Whew! I can't have that happening.
My son played at The Brewery last night....my daughter went to see him! :o) She also is the one that takes the pictures for the band to put on their website! :o) I can't wait until she wakes up so I can see what she got! :o)

I was finally able to get a pair of sunglasses too yesterday! YAY! :o) Having fibromyalgia has made all of my senses so heightened! Even on cloudy days, I have to wear them! I even have a pair that I wear in the house at times! I had a pair, and one day I could find them...well, that was when my grandson was learning to throw things away! LOL :o) Well gee...I wonder where my sunglasses went then? lol He knows now what he can and can't throw away! lol Too funny! :o) We've also learned to lookd through the trash cans before they are taken out just in case! lol :o) So....I'm keeping the new ones way up on the highest shelf so he can't get to them! :o) At least I'm hoping he can't! lol He's been climbing lately too...uh oh! :o) :::shaking my head:::

Well....today is SUPER BOWL DAY!!! So....that means in this house hold....it's going to be a MAD house! aaahhhh! lol My husband is all ready getting prepaired for it! lol Too funny! :o) I don't mind watching, it's just funny how much they really get into it! LOL :o)I can just sit in my room and can tell who's winning...just by how they all yell at the tv.! LOL :o)
I need to go now. I want to get an early start out. It doesn't seem as windy right now. Whew! :o)
Thank you all for you emails and comments! :o) Gods blessings to you all! :o) And I hope your team wins! :o)

~Here I am again!~

                                 Good morning!
I do hope that all of you are alright, and are feeling at least up to par this morning. :o)
I have some good news! Well, it is to me! :o) In the Troy Daily News paper, My son and his band had a whole page dedicated just to them!!! Wow! :o) Thats the next town south of us! Our news paper really doesn't have anything in it, if we need to know anything, we buy their paper to find it out! lol And it's true! :o) But, They have pictures and interviews and everything! YAY! :o) They were practincing on Tuesday and a journalist came and did the interview and the pictures! :o) They play more in Troy anyways at The Brewry! I love that place! I used to go there just to dance! LOL :o) No kidding! And now my son plays in his band there! :o) My son had mentioned my grandpa/ his great grandpa and how he would play the drums, and would listen to the Big Bands when he was little with him! My son's favorite drummer was my grandpa's as well, Gene Croupa (sp)! :o) One of the other band members said that when they play, they have to keep up with Jason because he plays so fast! LOL :o) He's been playing most of his life! :o) And had a great teacher! :o) So, the band members really rely on mt son! Wow! :o) Seeing and reading it really made my day! :o) They are starting to really go places with their band! :o) To see these kids grow up with my son, and to see them now....it's just great! :o)

He took my camcorder with him last night when they were practicing, and got alot of my son! :o) I don't know how to put the stuff from the camcorder and load it on the computer yet...because I want to show off how he just plays when he goofs off as well! I'm very proud of him! :o) He really needs a full drum set here at home too to practice on...I'd love to hear that! :o) I love to hear him play! :o) And to think he just hears it once, and can play it through! And can't read music! :o)  They play tonight! YAY! :o) I would just love to go, and he would love for me to go too, but he gets worried that I might get hurt! :o)

My daughter got her scores yesterday, and is doing great! She's doing a 98% and a 96%! YAY! She came home and sat down on the couch and just exhaled big time! lol :o) I told her that she would be alright! :o) I'm so proud of her as well! :o) Well....I'm very proud of the both of my kids! :o)
This morning when I got up...it was 6 degrees out! Wow...I think this is the coldest it's been this year! Yikes! Big time bbbbuuurrr! Boy I don't like this cold weather! I dream of moving! Thats how bad I wish I could move out of this weather so my body could feel better. My doctor told me to, but again, I then told him...only if he pays for it! lol :o) He laughed! :o) Does the weather in Savanah Georgia (sp) get like this? I've always wanted to move there. Or anywhere in that state?
Anyone know about Mississippi? Just checking around. :o)
These northern states are just way too cold and unpredictable. My old body can't take it anymore. Or...how about a different country? How is the weather in other countries? :o)

Well....I have something on my mind that I really can't talk about in the journal or with anyone of my family members. I've been praying on this, because I know God will lead me in the right direction. I feel like I'm being pulled in two different ways. Uh! Oh well....I will get through this situation on my own. ;o)
I think I'll go now. :o) I need to get a few thing done. :o) Then, I need to rest my legs and my hips because they are hurting so bad, they're making my eyes leak! :o(
Thank all of you for your emails and ecards! Gods blessings to you all! :o)

Nothing important, really

                          Good morning all! :o)
Yesturday I had an appointment at the Human Services to reinstate my medcaid and food card. Which seems to take forever! :o) I found out that next month, they are giving us the rest of this month to pick from "3" insurance groups! 3! Thats it! And if none of my doctors are not on them, then I HAVE to change doctors! Uh! :o( Thats a bit screwed up now! And, you don't get a list with the 3 insurance groups of doctors until you chose! Thats just wrong! So, you won't know until you make your decision! ggggrrrr! The government always has to do something to screw everything up....and no, this is not a free country here by the way!

While I was there, I asked about this program called Passport. I've called about it before, and I was told that it was for people that were 60 years old, or older! I had my case working looking for me then what is there out there fo me? Since I'm in the middle of all kinds of help, I'm not 18 and under, I'm not with Hospice, I'm not 60 or older, and I'm not terminal! Where does that put me at? It took her awhile, but she found something! Yessss! There is somewhere I actually fit! There is a Passport for people in my age group (43) in Ohio, (not sure about other states yet). I fill the papers out, send them back to her and it will take about 30 days to process. ;o) I knew that there had to be something out there for us that are in the middle age group. I just wasn't in the mood to just sit there and listen to excuses's ....so I kept going, and asking all kinds of questions! Finally she might have gotten tired of me and she went to another lady and came right back in with everything I needed! Just like that! :o) When it seems she could have done that in the first place! Geesh!

I came home, and I was so weak! My legs wear trembling! I wasn't on them for very long. I sat in bed for awhile, and then I heard the mail come. I got my S.S.I. check. I went to the store and cashed it and picked upsome things that I needed. I was almost out of my laundry soap. I don't want that to happen! Then, I came home and my son was here off of work. He carried the stuff in for me. :o) I got my pj's on, and just crawled into bed and had to rest! I was having alot of problems with them yesterday. Visual as well! I had a night gown on, and my daughter and I were in the kitchen. My legs were hurting, and I just pulled my gown up just to look at them, no biggie. And whoa...I have no idea what it was, but I had these red "lines" all over my whole legs! They kind of looked like veins in a way I guess. My daughter just said, "OMG Mom, get in bed!" Well...thats what I was going to do anyways! That scared me! I've never seen anything like it before! I'm thinking...Now what? The next time it happens, I'm going to grab my camera and get pictures!

So, my day was spent in bed. Which I really do not like to do! I don't know how many old movies I watched yesterday! :o) lol :o) I even gave Jeremy some money because he was going to a store, and I wanted to get the movie, The Producers! lol I just love that movie, it's too funny! :o) But, they were sold out! Oh well. :o)
While in bed, I did sit there and I did my best at writing down what all I have, illness wise. I'm going to write them in here and if I've repeated any, just over look it. :o)
Degenerative spine, Colitis, Dysplasia, Stomach ulcers, a fatty liver, Palpating heart, 2 heart attacks that started but they stopped by me laying down ( I can't remember what kind it was), High cholesterol, Seizure disorder/ Myoclonic seizures, Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis, Osteoporisis, Bursitis in both hips, Spurs on my pine, Tumors on my spine, No reflexes on my limbs, IBS, CFS, RLS, Parasomnia, Hypersomnia, Face disfiguration because of a poorly made denture, Hyperglocemic, TMJ, My whole body is numb, Migraines, Facial pain, Scoleosis lumbar, Urinate and bowel problems and ware depends, and the use of my hands are going away.
I know that I've forgotten some. But, thats most of it. So, like I said, if I repeated anything, just let me know and skip it. :o)

Today...I'm just glad that it's Friday! :o) My daughter had to go to classes this morning. :o) It was snowing again earlier....ggrrr! But, at least it's warmer today, it's 25 out! Wow...nice and warm! No wonder I had to turn off my heating blanket last night! :o) lol
I'm still having problems with the computers, and I still can't get the printer to work...aaaahhhhh! So, my computer will only "let" me do certain things when "it" wants me too! Geesh...like it has a mind of it's own! lol Who knows! lol Well it's been acting like it! :o) I think I'll go now. I do need to rest some more today. My legs have a mind of their own too, and I'm not liking it one bit! I guess we're going to have to have a talk, just me and my legs! :o) And they better listen! :o) Hugs to you all! :o)

Thank you all for you emails and comments! :o) Gods Blessings to all of you! :o)
