A little bit about our children...

Just got home from my last cleaning job. I am exhausted! Greg is still working. It's funny, he's working for the same lady I clean for, only he's on the roof. He is spraying their roof with some kind of toxic chemical that kills moss. She really needs a new roof, but Greg says it would cost them $12,000, which they do not want to spend right now. I really am very fortunate, as I only work out of the home now on Thursday evening, Friday and part of Saturday. When the children were growing up I... Sign in to see full entry.

Helping the girls set goals for the day...

I have 5 minutes to write. I decided to clean the doctors' offices today, as only the office manager is there. It is difficult cleaning when there are 3 or 4 people. So, I got off about 45 minutes ago, taking a rest and then going to another house cleaning job. I helped the girls get their school work and work goals today as I would be gone all day. When they were done with everything, I told them they could call me and IF they got everything done they could do some things on the computer. That... Sign in to see full entry.

Depression

I do not think I will have time to write tonight. Today is a windy cold day. Last night I could hear it rain. I had opened the window to let some fresh air in and I could hear the wind blowing. I like stormy nights and the sounds they make. Soon the sun will shine and make it warm again. I have been fighting depression off and on since last December. I had a lot of things happen that caused me to start to go down. I foolishly was fooled in December and lost some money. But I am wiser now. It... Sign in to see full entry.

El Infierno

It was a pretty laid-back easy day. I stayed home ALL day! I helped the kids with their school work and read a little. I read Psalm 71, which was pretty encouraging to me. Yesterday I heard about an earthquake in Baja - only 20 miles from where we lived for a year. In the village we lived in there was water coming out of the ground and it smelled like sulfur. That made me smile, because when we lived there we could smell sulfur quite often. Before we moved there we were warned that it was "very... Sign in to see full entry.

Pets...

Time is still gold right now. So that means this will be short. Recently, our cat died in Mexico, but I already told you that. Tonight I found out that "Davy" our friend in Tucson's dog has throat cancer and in 1 week will be in doggy heaven. I also am very attached to that dog. He is very affectionate and puts his head on your knee when he wants to be petted. The only pets we have in the USA is a fish that Clemy just bought. There are many neighborhood cats, all too wild to pet, but they keep... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I plan on writing about past and present life experiences and what I have learned from them. I also want to tell stories of things in my past, some humourus, some serious and some trivial. I have done some traveling and want to describe those places and people accurately, maybe in some cases changing names if I see it could embarrass someone. I will write out of my heart and hopefully give hope to some of my readers. I do not have all the answers, but have lived long enough to know there are many trials in life and obstacles. I want to examine life, it's simplicities and complexities and share my observation and at times opinions with others.
