SPRING AHEAD....................

                                   WELL HERE WE ARE.......TIME TO SPRING AHEAD AND MOVE OUR CLOCKS UP ONE HOUR......I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND IT WAS ALMOST EIGHT......THINKING I HAD GOTTEN AN EXTRA HOUR OF SLEEP  IN......AND THEN I REALIZED I SET MY CLOCK AHEAD LAST NIGHT AND MY BODY REALLY JUST THOUGHT IT WAS ON SCHEDULE AND WOKE UP AT IT'S REGULAR TIME.......SEVEN!  EVERY SIX MONTHS OR SO THE GOVERNMENT PUTS US THROUH THIS.....TAKES SEVERAL DAYS FOR THE BODY TO CATCH UP WITH THE NEW TIME........
                                  TODAY THE HORTINS AND PANNIERS AND I TOOK IN THE ANNUAL HOME SHOW........PARTLY BECAUSE ROB WAS ASKED AND AGREED TO WEAR A PLANT SOIL SACK AND ADVERTISE POTTING SOIL FOR HIS FRIEND WHO HAS A LANDSCAPING BUSINESS.........AND WE ALL GOT IN FREE..................HE LOVED IT AND WE REALLY ENOYED ALL THE VENDERS......I AM LOOKING FOR WINDOW TREATMENTS FOR MY NEW PLACE AND WAS CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT IS NEW AND FUN;
I GOT TO PUSH THE STROLLER WITH AARON IN IT OR I NEVER WOULD HAVE MADE ALL THAT WALKING........NICE DAY.

LIVING ON THE EDGE

 

They say if you aren't living on the edge......you are taking up too much room!........Well since October I feel I am getting closer and closer to my edge......I just hope I can hang on until I get moved and everything gathered up that was dumped on the kids and still in my house and in the trunk of my car and.....and......and.  I thought it was just a cute saying......about living on the edge......seems I feel ready to topple off or maybe jump........only with my arthritis now days I have taken JUMP, HOP, RUN etc. out of my vocabulary........so I guess I would be a candidate to just fall off the cliff....you know nervous breakdown kind of thing........Lets just say I am dangling on the edge.......waiting to get my condo sold!

Played yesterday......so today I am washing my hair and my cloths and trying to get caught up with the mail.

Our time changes tomorrow and so we have to adjust to a new schedule AGAIN............

 

50 Shades of Grey..........

 

I truly believe we are all in charge of our own happiness.......No one can make you unhappy unless you let them.....but believe me it is harder said than done.......I know, I lived with an expert who did it to me for 30 years........AND I LET HIM!   But moving on almost 29 years later I am in charge of me.  Had a busy day with coffee this morning with Patty and then off to the movie this afternoon with Shirley and Bonnie.  Last night Rob talked Pam and I into seeing "50 Shades of Grey" with him........not impressed or depressed......if people want to run around with no clothes on that is their concern not mine......I just hate to see any woman let a man use her body for his entertainment!  Yesterday went through my house it is really coming along.......been busying buying bath towels and rugs and a few things I am going to need. 

 

 

JUST WHEN YOUR ABOUT TO...........

 

            I read this now and then and try to remember it as I lay awake for hours at night or cry myself to sleep because of the turmoil in my family over the this darn house thing!!!!!!  I feel sorry I have caused so much extra work and time spent trying to help me get through the move.......It wasn't my idea and I cannot at this age do it all myself.......... as I did after the divorce 29 years ago.......Went through the new place today and it is really coming together and I am excited about it.....but I still have a lot of hurdles to cross......sell my condo......or take out a loan.....and hope there is enough money to pay for the new house and pay back everyone who has stepped forward to help out when it sells eventually.........A couple of people interested.....but need to sell their place first......I close in three weeks and not sure that will work.......and so we move on one day at a time!

Yesterday I had a dermatologist appointment.......so today I have some scary looking spots on my face......also he biopsied a thingy on my arm......Today it was off to the tax man to get that over with. ......never a fun experience.......Got to think of something fun to do this weekend.........Sunny and cold today.

I DON'T THINK I'M SEXY.......BUT WHAT IS MY OPINION AGAINST THOUSANDS OF OTHERS????

Just trying to convince myself......I am still OK......I guess..

MY GRAND BABY........AARON

 

I HAD A GREAT DAY HOLDING, FEEDING AND ROCKING THIS LITTLE GUY THIS MORNING.  GRANDMA PAM IS TENDING ARRON TWO MORNINGS A WEEK UNTIL THE DAY CARE HAS AN OPENING SO WE GET TO WATCH HIM GROW AND LOVE HIM LOTS.  HIS MOM HAS GONE BACK TO WORK 1/2 DAY FOR AWHILE..........MY YOUNGEST GRANDCHILD IS 13 AND IT WAS TIME TO GET A NEW BABY IN OUR FAMILY TO LOVE AND SPOIL........WE GOT OUR FIRST SNOW STORM OF 2015.....THE LAST BIG SNOW WAS ON CHRISTMAS DAY......I'VE BEEN LOVING THE WEATHER THIS WINTER.  PAM WORKING TONIGHT SO ROB AND I WENT OFF TO KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN  FOR DINNER.....PAM DOESN'T EAT CHICKEN.......WE WENT DOWN TO THE ORIGINAL FIRST KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN RESTRAUANT.

NOAH'S ARK.......

Some days you just have to stop and figure out what and where you are headed for......... One minute things look bright and sunny and the next black and discouraging........I have a million questions about what is ahead........but then I see if I just take a look at some of the lessons Noah's lessons.   For so many of is while we are waiting for our ship to come in we have missed the one will take us into the life we have been destined for.......And I bet everyone at one time or another feels he missed the boat!........Plan ahead, have some goals and stick to them.  If you need to get a better job, educate yourself for one......if you want to lose 20 pound......quit eating!!!! Build your future on high ground and for safety.......always go with a friend when the situation is ify.....and no matter the storm, when your with GOD on solid ground there is always a rainbow.   Wow....I feel better already.

GIGI.......

GIGI........This is my constant companion, care-taker, watch dog and best friend.   She is 13 and getting deaf like I am.......she tries very hard to be a good girl, but now and then gets into trouble.......like scratching the Panniers carpet when locked in the bedroom......not a good day......but their Charles chewed up the woodwork in my bathroom once and ROB had to repair it for me......so I guess what goes round, comes round.......We will be glad when we get moved into our own place though.

It's a quiet Sunday ........the Pannier kids are coming over for dinner tonight.  I love having the grand-kids and now even the great-grandchild in my life.  I miss the Cooks and Christensons.  I did have a nice dinner with one of my favorite nephews and his wife last night.......it so fun to catch up now and then.  Now days it is my family that is keeping me going.  I need a home and to sell the one I just left.....both a worry, but I can only take it one day at a time and trust that it will all work out.  I do have a wonderful place to stay and they really spoil me here,,,,,,I will probably forget how to vacuum, dust, etc......but have tried to keep in practice by emptying and filling the dish washer and taking the garbage out.
