We Currently Do Not Have A Restoration Update For That Address

UGH! I woke up to a power outage. Luckily, my little generator will run the computer, tv and a few lights. Every couple of hours, I will unplug those things and let the fridge run for about 30 minutes or so. We can't run the fridge with anything else. To make matters worse, our water is well water...

How Does This Happen

I hae been avoiding the news for the past few days. The majority of the information that I have had on our missing soldiers came from Saul_Relative. I didn't want to watch the news because in truth I already knew in my heart that these boys would come home in a flag draped coffin. Well, as you all... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am A Housewife

Another post brought this to mind for me. The post was not negative in anyway, it was simply about others trying to tell one how we should live. About five years ago Carl and I made a joint decision that I would become a stay at home wife/mom. I have never been one who enjoyed going to a job... Sign in to see full entry.

What Brought This To Mind?

I always chuckle reading Maggie's blog because I know how some of these parents must feel when their children come up with some real zingers. Today for some reason it brought back to mind a memory of Pam when she was just a little one. She couldn't have been more than 2 or 3 as we were still living... Sign in to see full entry.

I Just Don't Feel Like It

I don't feel like doing much of anything today including blogging. I don't want to clean, don't want to watch TV, though I did get my writing in for the day, I didn't even feel like doing that, so I suspect I need to go back and look at it again because it is probably lacking a great deal. Pam has... Sign in to see full entry.

One More For Father's Day (a happy one)

I wanted to share with you the two men that I find to be wonderful examples of fatherhood. My Grandpa: I adored this man and he adored me. We had our own mutaul adoration society between the two of us. He was biggest man I ever knew, though there have been others along that year that may have been... Sign in to see full entry.

Daddy Tried

Reading some other Father's Day posts I for some reason have decided to write this one. Before I begin, let me say this: I loved my father. My father was messed up big time. He was well meaning and genuinely had a good heart, but he was MESSED UP. So many times I have heard my family say "You should... Sign in to see full entry.

Whatever Happened To Lazy Summer Days??

I thought summer days were supposed to be laid back and lazy. Yeah right! Today, we have to pick Pam up from camp, then we have our nephew's grad party (his going to attend CMU and study pre-law) and then I have to work this evening. Mind you this is after turning down two other invitiations as... Sign in to see full entry.

Able To Breathe At Last--THANK YOU ALL!!!

No long post here just a very simple message. The judge signed the order, Carl has custody of Pam!!!!!!!!! I cna't wait to pick her up tommorow and tell her. She has been so afraid that her mother would interfere again. Thank you everyone for your thoughts, prayers and support!!! Sign in to see full entry.

Can You Write??

I hope you will all bear with me today, I am nervous and until Carl comes through the door with papers in hand that says Pam lives here, I am going to be crazy. When I get like this I babble and I usually babble on paper because otherwise I would drive everyone around me crazy! Anyway, onto the... Sign in to see full entry.
