I AM GOING TO LONG BEACH! BUT BEFORE I DO THAT I HAVE A LOT OF STUFF TO GET DONE AROUND HERE. LOL
TAKE A SHOWER, IRON SOME CLOTHES, LEAVE A CHECK FOR THE GARDENER, AND MAKE OUT A LISR OF EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WHILE WE ARE GONE..
I ONLY GOT ABOUT 5 AND A HALF HOURS OF SLEEP LAST NIGHT, BUT I FEEL SO GOOD.
I AM THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE FRIENDS WHO WILL KEEP OUR CHILDREN SO THAT WE CAN RUN AWAY
Well it is a little after 2 a.m. and I am winding down for the.. morning! LOL
I cant WAIT to go to long beach and see the queen Mary! It will be just Rusty and I alone for two whole days! I have been wanting to see the queen Mary, but now I get to sleep on it!
Work went o.k. tonight. It seemed to drag on forever, but I made it home. That one dude who thinks I hate him is really starting to scare me. He startd talking shit about the white office help as he was coming tword me. I swear Rusty will hurt him if he hurts me.
So not to much else is going on. I am going to grab something to eat and then go to bed. We will be leaving for long beach in the afternoon, so I better get some sleep.
I will chat with everyone when I get home!
I am thankful that I have the chance to spend som alone time with Rusty!
Well, I coned my husbands ear last night and I am having a hard time believing that there is still so much wax in his ear. I am going to do another cone today because he has to go see the ear doctor. Rusty says that he is not hearing any better out of his ear, but at least it does not hurt any more.
I finished me daughters quilt top yesterday. I really hope that she likes her quilt. As you can tell from the picturesthe cats like the quilt!
I am still working on the bench. I the detail work is taking longer then I thought it would, but that is o.k. I told Rusty ysterday that I am really starting to like working with cast iron. I had a blast grinding the rust off of the bench and the tub. I think what I like the most is seeing all of the "errors" in the cast. Nothing is uniform, so when you paint the item it looks so cool! Errors and all.
I have to work tonight, and for some reason it is not bothering me. I usually just want to go to work. Maybe it is because I know that I wont be there on Sunday! I really should not complain about work because it is paying for christmas this year.
Our son Ryan wants one of these electric motoercycles. I am thinking about buying it for him. When Ryan asked me if he could have one I told him no, but I am thinking that Santa can bring it, as long as Santa brings a helmet! LOL
Well I need to get busy and get the house cleaned up before I go to work.
I am thankful that Rysty's ear no longer hurts
Last night our water heater sprung a leak. We got that fixed last night but I now need to go get the wet rugs out of the garage and clean up the rest of the mess that we made. This was so not on my list of things that I wanted to do today.
I am just about done with the quilt top for Amber. This blanket is going to be so cute! I am thinking about making a matching pillow case. I just hope that she really likes the quilt.
We will find out on friday if Nikki made the football team. I am so proud of her for going out there and proving to everyone that she can do anything.
I have to go get some more cones today. I am still in shock at how much wax is in the ear. I am just so glad that the cones are pulling it all out. The doc wanted to go into the ear and scrap all of the wax out. OUCH!
I worked on th bench yesterday, but we are not done with it yet. The water heater kinda took all of our attition yesterday.
Rusty ( my husband) told me that his mother called on Sunday. She is going toEngland for Christmas. I did not say anything to Rusty but I was.......I dont know. Rusty has TWO heartattacks and she does not come visit him, but she has the time and money to go visit her other son in England? Whatever. Like I said I dont know how to feel, and Rusty has not really said how he feels. So I am just going to leave it alone.
Anyway, I need to go get the rugs up. I am glad that it is windy today, so at least they will dry quickly.
I have been very busy today and it is not even noon! I dont know what has gotten in to me, but..... anyway. I made a chicken pot pie for dinner, started more laundry, and helped Ryan with his school work and it is not even noon yet!
Yesterday my husband I started fixing up this old cast iron bench. I wish we would have taken a picture of it before we tore it apart. But I will post a picture once it is done. So I need to go get some paint so I can do some of the detail work on it.
Here is a link for everyone who has never heard of ear coning. This really works! Some o.k. a lot of people think that I am crazy because I use alternitive medicine, but hey if it works.....

our youngest daughter, Nikki, called me from school yesterday and asked me to pick her up at 3 because she said that she ws going to try out for volleyball. When I get there I ask her how volleyball try outs went and she said. "I changed my mind, I went out for football" well o.k. I am all for that, but the coach told her that even if she makes the team she will not be able to play in any of the games because it is flag football and someone might "grab" her. Nikki said that she is still going for it because she wants to prove to herself and everyone else that she can do it. Rusty and I told her to go for it.
Well, I should be up doing some stuff. I still have some laundry to do, I need to work on the bench, and I could start on Ambers quilt for Christmas. So I am off and running.
Today I am thankful for the energy to get up and get moving.
I think I am starting to get this graphic thing down. Thanks to people who have helped!
Today is looking like it is going be o.k. Ryan is doing his school work and I have started cleaning up the house.
When Rusty has his heart attack he blew out an ear drum. So the doctors would not bo anything about the blood that came out of his ear because they could not see how much damage was done to the ear. So here we are two months after the heart attack and we are now trying to get all of the wax and the dried blood out of his ear. Nothing was really working and then a friend told me about ear candles or ear cones.
Now if you have never seen or heard about these thing they really work! I am not sure what it is made of, but it a long cone that you light on fire and then put the other end in the ear. The smokes goes down into the ear an it then sucks all of the wax out of the ear. It is really cool! We have been doing this a couple times a week and I am amazed at much wax and dried blood was impacked in the ear.
Enough about setting my husbands head on fire.
well I am off to finish laundry.
I am thankful for the people who are helping figure out this image thing!
O.K. so I did not mak it San Diego, but I am going to look on the bright side.
On the bright side Rusty and Tony got to spend the evning just hanging out and talking. That is what a friend is for. I am glad that they had the one on one time. I am greatful that I did not go because I would have been a third wheel.
On the bright side Amber and I put all of our cards on the table. We dont agree on everything, but I we did agree on a few things. I am greatful for the chance to talk with Amber.
On the bright side, I slept alone last night. This was the first time since Rusty came home. The up side to that is that I missed him so much that I now cant wait to go to bed and snuggle in next to him.
I like the comment that was posted about us sucking the life out of our parents. My mom will tell you that she was a child of the sixtys, but did not do any of the things that went on durning the sixty's. My father on the other hand.........lived life until I came along. While in th army he learned to skydive. He even continued to skydive until one time my mom got scared. See my mom was prego with me and my mom was on the ground watching my dad jump. Then someone said "his shoot did not open" Well it was my dads shoot that did not open, but his reserve shoot did open. That was the last time he went skydiving. My dad was stationed in Germany and he saved up a bunch of leave time. So he went hitch hiking through Europe for a month!
So I now wonder if my father gave everything up because of me? Or did he give everything for me? Maybe I should ask him. I wonder if he would do it all again?
I so like to live life and try new things. If I could teach my children just a few lessons here is what they would be.
1. love your husband more then you love yourself
2. try something new and over come your fears
3. help other people when you have the ability to. and most of
4. never allow anyone to tll you that youcant do anything.
come to think of it that is what I learned from my father. I still hold true to my favorite sayings. My shoulders are strong so come lean on meand mountain get out of my way.
Well I need to go get cleaned up and get some sleep.
tonight I am thanful that I get o go to bed and sleep next to Rusty
