No Power!!!

It's like this: I have no power, my computer is currently running on a small generator (I really need to think about a laptop) and the heat index is currently 102!!!! It's official this heatwave SUCKS! Our water is on an electric pump and the generator is big enough to run the fridge, the computer... Sign in to see full entry.

Live Like You Were Dying

One of Carl's favorite songs is "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw. It came on the radio this morning and I had to simply turn the speakers up loud enough to irritate others around me. This song was released shortly before Carl left for Iraq and I can kind of guess why he liked it so much. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Would Sombody Please Turn Down The Heat

OK, I love summer, I love the temps between 80 up to almost 90. I have no clue what the temps are right now, but it's FREAKING HOT! Even now that the sun has gone down and darkness is falling when I sit on the porch I am sweating. Have I mentioned it's hot? Would sombody PLEASE turn down the... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Just One Of Those Days I Guess

Maybe the heat is making me overly emotional or something, I don't know. It started with Rumored's post on Ugly the cat. Of course Blonde had to post something that made me furious with stupid people. Then Carl did it to me. We were talking about things to come and he asked me if I was happy. The...

What Happened To My Little Girl

We went to the lake yesterday and while Carl and I were taking a break on shore Pam came running up for something or another. I watched her as she walked away and I guess Carl noticed the look on my face. "What wrong?" "What happened to my baby?" Carl gave me a rather wistful smile. "She is growing...

What Will Our Children Inherit

As I look around me today, I realize that someone near and dear to all of us here at Blogit could have been harmed yesterday. Each morning when I come to Blogit, I check my favorites and I am always pleased when I find Blanche has something new posted. I realize this morning could have been very...

If You Had One Wish

Something I learned last week. Putting your hopes, dreams and wishes out there makes a difference. OK so I had my own personal Fairy Godmother come along and sprinkle some magic fairy dust all over my wishes and made them come true PLUS more. To be honest I am still in shock and waiting to wake up.... Sign in to see full entry.

Strong Woman Or Bitch???

I just made a rather smart assed remark on Sunny's blog and it got me to thinking (uh oh!!!). I am one of those women who fares better among men, usually. I don't do so well with women because many don't appreciate my dead on honesty when they ask me a question. I don't try to be mean but I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

What Is Hate?

There are many of my regular readers who will very likely not agree with a word I say in this post but I MUST say it! My husband did not spend a year in Iraq to come home and have his own countrymen act like fools! He served in a combat zone where some wanted to kill him and others wanted to hug...

A Hot Bath And A Drink!

I am worn out! I have had all of this day I want. Way more than I wish to go into. Vickie is working on her end to get social services involved and Carl was adviced to see if he can get Pam's mother to simply agree to remove the step-father from Pam's visits and if she refuses then start the process...
