Thanks From My Cats

My cats say thank you for all the nice comments. They may have saved their happy home this morning. When I first got up this morning and went to the bathroom half awake I stepped into puke from a cat. She managed to do it in the middle of the rug in the middle area of bathroom door. GROSS YUK! There was no way I could miss it. With my small bathroom I was able to accomplish two things when I sat down; Wash my bare foot and the other reason I went in there. I hate being efficient that early in the morning. Yes Rebecca I do love them but does my love have to be tested like that?
I guess this country girl could have put something on her feet but so early in morning when I'm barefoot most of the day.

Creative Juices

For some reason the juices have dried up. I don't have any ramblings that are worth publishing. I have checked around other blogs and they are good. I noticed that my old ramblings always have that trash can next to them. That is not an ego boost for sure.
I had a 4 generation day last weekend. It was wonderful but also I was tired when it was over.
There are so many interesting blogs out there so if I don't post all the time I am sure it won't be missed.

Trash

Today was the day! I took tarp off and hauled out old tires. At least I started. I could only get 4 in my car at a time. DIRTY & WET Why don't I have a pickup? I only made two trips to the disposal place.18 miles round trip, so 2 trips were enough. My car needs to dry out and I need to rest. One trip didn't seem worth getting dirty (and I got dirty). I have been planing this for quite awhile since I found a place to take the tires. Eight tires down some more to go but not today. My get up and go got up and went.

My friend

She was better when I talked to her Thursday . The pain is still there and everything she plans on didn't work out on Thursday. Sunday her two brothers are coming to stay for a week. She is looking forward to seeing them. I pray that all goes well with the visit.

Bad Day

I was not a happy camper last night and was about to vent on my blog when I came home. I couldn't get my blog to work and you were saved from my venting. It wouldn't have changed anything and I would still have been tired. I spent the day with my close friend. I drove her to her cancer treatment. She was having a very bad day and the pain was over what it usually is. After the treament and the doctor visit when we left the hospital her car was acting up. (I think it was my foot on brake and gas at same time) The car was moving and she asked if the car was running? I said yes and she wanted me to park. I wanted to keep on going-not be stranded in parking lot. We went a short way farther out of parking lot and we parked the next place she wanted to go. I turned off car then turned it back on and everything was fine. We had no more car trouble. The stress of the day got to me and you can imagine what it did to her. It was a long day since she had to go to another doctor in afternoon.
If any one wants to give me a shame shame go ahead. My day was alot better than hers and I let it get to me. She has never had as bad a day before and maybe fighting cancer for 12 years will do that to you.
Please say a prayer for my friend.
Question? Who do you think made it impossible for me to vent? I have my own idea on that.

Great Women

While I was reading a lot of blogs today I found out that there are a multitude of great women out there. They are dealing with all kinds of things and doing it well. I wonder what would happen if for 24 hours the women would run the world.
Husbands don't get upset because the women I am talking about love you and the kids. Do you think after a battle or a rocket we could sit and eat some ice cream or chocolate?Could we difuse the hot spots of the world? Could we get the leaders to see the tears that are flowing and the pain the children are in? If it was only that easy!
Well I turn it over to God and pray that all the battles large and small come to an end. May all the wives and husbands out there give each other a kiss and a word of praise.

mom's surprise

Friday my eldest son came to see me. I hadn't seen him since February. We talk on the phone almost every week but I don't see him. It was nice. He left first thing this morning. We didn't spend all the time together as he had things to do and I wasn't the reason he came up.
My son is a grandpa twice. He is losing hair and it is turning grey. It is strange how you don't see what your looking at all the time. I saw him-really saw him this week end. I love the man.
When you live alone things like this mean alot. I wonder if being alone with my sons makes me appreciate them more. I really hope note because children should be treated as what they are "Gifts From God". But remember God has a sense of humor.

Brain Freeze

Last night I got my pills out-ice water from the fridge and then I didn't take them. They were still sitting on my kitchen table this morning. When I do things like that I wonder why I am taking so many pills. My blood presure wasn't that bad and my blood sugar was okey when I checked . Can you tell I don't like taking pills?
Independence is fine but there is no point to go to the doctor if you are not going to listen. Just wish I could talk him into cutting a few. He is young like my sons but motherly tricks don't work.

cherry tomatoes?????

I have always thought of cherry tomatoes as round inch size circles. I have a plant in a pot on my porch that has me puzzled. It has small plum tomatoe shaped tomatoes,some little little round like grape tomatoes. I am beginning to think(I do once in awhile) that they swept the floor in the nursery and took a bunch of seeds and put them in a pot and out came my bush. How did they know I could handle such a strange batch? It is fun to see what is going to come up next!

Prayer of Thanksgiving

One of my friends had surgery this morning to remove some scar tissue and check for any more infection. This was the third operation within a year. She is already back at home and the doctor didn't find any thing else.What he did find could be fixed quickly. I told her it was a birthday present from God since today was her birthday.

A Little Humor

Who is the smallest man in the Bible? PETER; He slept on his watch. Remember I said little.
If you don't like Mondays a little humor may help. My pastor told that one plus a few more
that I couldn't hear. Audio mess up till a new micraphone(Spelling) hooked upduring the service.

Great Three Generation Day

This morning my son came over with his grandson. He is 17 months old and finally can allow his greatgrandma to hold him and talk to him without crying. He is Well Loved (Spoiled). We went out to eat and some shopping. He was so happy and smiling at every one. The lights on the ceiling in WalMart almost put him into a trance. On the ride home he went to sleep and I almost did to. He wasn't here that long but it made my day.
Sometimes its great to be tired. My son took me where ever I wanted to go. And this trip was far from organized. I did accomplish somethings that I needed to do.
I always have great days when my boys visit. I suppose I shouldn't call them boys since the youngest is 40 and two of them are grandpas. I can say that they are all different and each of them show me so much love. Not in the same way for all but I can say I am well loved. Maybe not always liked but loved.
I never had that girl I wanted but those boys make up for it.

August

I know that a year is 365 or 366 days long but this year is over half gone already. When you get in to your 70's you wish it wasn't going so fast. Or the things you had wanted to get done were done.

Weather breaks

Well the rain came and we our cooler. I know that in a few months we will want the heat. I still am so happy that we have changes and seasons. I know that there will be 120 degrees difference from the heat to some day this winter. And we will have 6 to 12 foot snow banks. That is all part of living in northern Wisconsin.
