Not sure how much longer I will keep this blog up, since I don't update very often.

I'M SICK

I started getting sick last Wednesday with body aches, low grade fever, flu symptoms. Then I started feeling like it was a Sinus Infection, and I just was getting worse over the weekend.  I went to the Doctor yesterday, and I not only have a Sinus Infection, but an Ear Infection. Then last night, I ended up in the ER with a busted Eardrum, and there is a Puss Pocket behind the Eardrum.  Needless to say, I am in some pain.  I have had 3 Major Surgeries, and have not felt this much pain.  I tried to lay down for a little bit in the evening, and the pain and pressure just got worse.  My husband heard me coming down stairs, and we just stood at the foot of the stairs while I cried because of the pain, and that is when the Eardrum busted.  I screamed it hurt so bad!

The ER doctor put me on different medication than what my  Doctor had me on, and I have to follow up with an ENT.

MISSING IN ACTION

Apparently Candy has gone MIA!  Blog is gone,e-mail is gone, and she is no longer on Facebook.  Candy, Please come back.

PRAYER REQUEST

Our 3 month old granddaughter may have a hearing loss, we will know more next month.


Last week her parents took her in for a hearing test(she leans her head to the left), because they thought maybe that might cause a problem. The left eardrum did not move at all, and the right one moved just a little bit, so we took her to her Pediatrician to see if there was any fluid behind her eardrums. The left ear was clear, the right ear had a little bit of fluid, but it was clear fluid.(The fluid started draining the next day).  Any way, she goes back for another hearing test next month.  Please Pray that all goes well.


Also next month, I go see an eye specialist to be tested for Glaucoma.

ANNUAL VACATION

We have already taken our annual vacation to Arkansas.  Got back yesterday afternoon.  We did not go to the second destination this year due to finances, so we just came home.  But hubby is still on vacation for another week, so we will be doing some day trips on the motorcycle (if my hip will let me)!

I had a birthday on Saturday, I am now 50. I  did NOT like the idea of being a half century old, but since I do not look my age, that helps a little.

Not much else going on.

NEW GRANDBABY

It' s a  GIRL!!  Faith Elaine Pitts was born on the 19th at 10:15 p.m.
Weight: 7 pounds, 9 ounces
Length: 19 1/2 inches long

Sorry, I don't have any pictures at the present.

I'M STILL AROUND!

Just don't feel like doing much on the computer!

Had surgery last Thursday to correct Trigger finger on the middle finger of my right hand, had the stitches taken out yesterday.

I have been reading a lot, and I finally got to go back to a Bible study this morning that I have been to before, but my family and Satan always got in the way and wouldn't let me continue.  Maybe this time I'll be able to go for a while.

Hubby may have to sell the Motorcycle because of his Arthiritis.  If that happens, then he will probably buy himself a Sports car.  That way, with 2 cars, I will be able to go to a church that I want to go to!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I hope and pray all Mother's have a WONDERFUL DAY!!

WHAT TO DO!?

Many of you may have read that I grew up in the Catholic church, and that I left said church when I married my first husband.  You may have also read that my husband now joined the Catholic church last year at the Easter Vigil, and that I have been going to church with him because of having only 1 vehicle, and my NOT being able to go anywhere else.

Well, lately, I have been feeling a TUG ( not a pull) to go back to the Catholic church. Partly because I love the Liturgy ( I always did)!  And there are some of things I do agree with the Church on. For example; Abortion, Homosexual relations, the Right to Life ( even for the Elderly), etc.  BUT, there are things I just can not agree with, and will NOT agree with, for example;  The Marian Dogma.  Where do they come up with that stuff?  There is NO Scriptural basis for any of it.(At least not that I know of)!  And, Hubby is sort of pressuring me to go back.  I just don't know what to do!

SO FAR....SO GOOD

with the headcovering for today, that is!  It seems to be staying where I want it to be.
These are great for keeping stray hair out of the way also!

IN MY BORED WITH THE COMPUTER MOOD

...so I have been reading quite a bit lately.
Have gotten back to reading my Lamplighter books.  Have read "True to the Last", and am now reading "That Printer of Udells"!   "True to the Last" is very good.   I highly recommend ALL  the books from Lamplighter Publishing!

OK, I'M TRYING THE HEADCOVERING AGAIN!

And it feels weird!  I like to have mine closer towards the front of my head, but it wants to go towards the middle, and it feels strange!

If there are any headcovering ladies in the K.C. area,  I would like to chat with you.

THIS SENDS CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE! Please Enjoy!

ALLELUIA!

Christ is risen.  The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia!!

HAPPY EASTER/RESURRECTION DAY!

DAMN THOSE BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS

It is a SAD day, now that the House has passed the Health Care reform bill. Why is it SAD you ask?

Because the American people are now paying for Abortions, whether we want to or NOT, we are!
In about 4 years time, we will be FORCED to get health care coverage, whether we can AFFORD IT or NOT!

I am calling on ALL CATHOLIC BISHOPS  in the United States to EXCOMMUNICATE ALL DEMOCRATIC CATHOLICS WHO VOTED FOR THIS BILL.  That includes you Nancy Pelosi!

As far as I am concerned, those DAMN BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS will go to Hell, and they SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CROSS THE THRESHOLD OF THEIR CHURCH'S! 

THIS IS JUST STUPID!

There is at least 6 inches of snow from yesterday's "First day of Spring" snowstorm, and I had the backdoor open because I was getting hot(The furnace was on)!  What gives?!

IT'S SNOWING!!

The first day of Spring, and it's SNOWING!  This is our 5th snowiest winter, and by the time it will be over with, it will be the 4th.

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!

BE SAFE!

I'M STILL AROUND!

Just haven't felt like posting anything!  But I will now.

My son's dog had pups at the end of January( 9 in all).  The runt died within 24 hours.  Mom got an infection in one of her breasts when the pups were 2 weeks old, and the breast virtually blew up,  I mean there was NOTHING there, so we ended up having to put her down, and son and I bottled fed the pups for about a week and a half.  When they were 3 weeks old, another pup died for no apparent reason, which left us with 7.  They are now 5 weeks old, and we have already gotten rid of 5, possibly 6, and the last one is spoken for.  YEAH!  

Now for the hard one;  I imagine some of you are wondering why I have not said anything about  "Pinky" and "Fred",  well, they were taken away from their parents by DFS ( Division of Family Services) in June.  We were denied custody because of the unfinished construction work in the house. (we still have holes in the walls) and they deemed it unsafe for them, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY HAD ALREADY LIVED HERE!

I have not seen them since Sept. for "Pinky's" birthday.  Hubby saw them in Nov.  Neither of us has seen them since.  And the parents have had their rights  taken away from them.  And the mother is pregnant again with number 3, that she says does not belong to her legal husband, but to her boyfriend.
I'm sorry, but she should not have been allowed to get pregnant again, but this state is stupid.  She couldn't be bothered to do what it took to get her other 2 kids back, and the state of Missouri does not allow sterilization unless you have had 3 children or are the age of 21.  That is one person who person who should not have had kids to begin with.
My husband and I are so disgusted with her right now, we really don't want to have anything to do with her.

Sorry you got all this, I had to vent!!

A MUST SEE MOVIE!

I just finished watching "The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn" on Netflix.  That is a must see movie.  Sidney Poitier is WONDERFUL!

I finally got to finish watching Emma today (the 1979? version)! Very Good movie!

I should have added to the last post, that I have also seen "Great Expectations".

SLOW COMPUTER ON WEEKENDS!!

I may have to stop getting on the computer on weekends, because it just runs way to slow.  I have a really hard time doing anything!

MOVIE WATCHING

I have not done much online lately, except watch movie from Netflix!  So far, I have seen the following:

Pride and Predjudice (1980)
Jane Eyre (1983)
Mansfield Park (1983)
Persuasion (1995)


I really like these period pieces that take place either in England or America.  I do like the English ones better though!  And of all these movies that I have watched, I have only read 1 of the books, and that was Jane Eyre!

WEARING A DRESS TODAY

My goodness, I'm in a dress today!  I have not been in a dress for over a month.  I tried wearing my new headcovering, but it just will NOT stay on!   I GIVE UP!

BLOG NAME CHANGE

I changed the name of this blog, mostly to reflect my feelings of how I would some day like to live!

Now I need to find a picture of some sort to put on my header.  A log cabin would be nice!

THIS WAS CHRISTMAS MORNING

ANOTHER PICTURE

I know the picture isn't very good, but I don't know how to crop them for blogger, and I do have some more on my facebook page.

THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH SINCE CHRISTMAS!

WE'RE HAVIN' A HEAT WAVE......

Well, not quit a tropical heat wave, but we are going to get into the low 40's today, so we should have some major melting going on.

TO ALL HEADCOVERING LADIES....

I need help!  I have worn headcoverings before, but, I have trouble keeping them on.  How do I do that?
Any help would be appreciated!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I FINALLY WENT OUT TODAY!

Not that cabin fever was setting in or anything like that, but it did feel good to get out of the house for a while. We had some shopping to get done, and the car payment to make.

It is supposed to warm up this week! YAY!!

To AL GORE: Take your Global Warming crap and shove it where the sun don't shine!

SNOWED IN

Well, not quite. But I do LOVE not going anywhere in this weather. It's cold(We are under a Wind Chill WARNING until tomorrow), and it's really snowy! I really like telling kids that I don't have a car during the day and can't go anywhere.
It is supposed to warm up some next week, so that will be nice. Maybe then we will be able to shovel some this snow. It's just to darn cold right now!! I did go do some shopping on Monday night in advance of the storm, so we were set for food for a few days, including tonight. Hubby and I will have to get out tomorrow and do some more grocery shopping for the coming week.

Don't worry, I have stepped outside to get some fresh air, so no cabin fever here! Although when it does warm up, I will enjoy going out to do stuff. But for now, I am perfectly content to stay put!

MORE SNOW ON THE WAY!

We are under a Winter Storm Warning again, so I'm getting ready to make some Oatmeal cookies. No raisins this time, maybe next time!

GENERAL STUFF

I hope everyone had a nice New Year's Day. I fixed a traditional New Year's dinner of Blackeyed Peas and Cornbread. It was yummy!!

I did not make any resolutions because I do not/cannot keep them. So this year I said the heck with it, not gonna do it.

Hubby went back on the day shift at work today. I have enjoyed not having a car. I had told everyone that that was going to be the case from now on. So what happens this morning? One of the kids calls my cell,
Kid: Mom do you have the car?
Me: No, what did you do, miss the bus?
Kid: yes
So, needless to say, she was late for work. NOT MY PROBLEM!! I gave them all enough warning

Back to not having a car during the day, we did this partly so that I will quit driving so much. This brand new car, only 5 1/2 to 6 months old, already has over 12 thousand miles on it. NOT GOOD!!
Also we thought my husband would be getting a different job, ( the lead tech at a different location). He did not get it. Very disappointing, but he thinks it may be a Blessing in disguise. I hope he is right.
Anyway, back to the car, again. We are also hoping it will cut down on the gas consumption also. Anything will help at this point. I'm tired of being a taxi!

And with me being home all day, maybe I'll actually get off my duff and do something. Maybe.

We are supposed to be getting more snow on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, so I have to have hubby take me to the store this evening to do some shopping for the rest of the week. That way I can stay in the house, which suits me just fine, because it will also be very very cold, like below zero cold.

Over Christmas we got about 6 1/2 inches of snow, then more snow over that weekend. Hubby's oldest daughter came down from Omaha on Saturday, and did not leave until this morning because it snowed over this weekend.
We had the 3rd snowiest December since the city started keeping records. 15 inches of snow all together.
