A SUCKY THING

Today I logged on to classmates and thought it would be cool to try an email some old friends. Guess what...... They won't send you e-mails unless you pay ( and through the nose I might add ). Not only that , Your friends can not read your e-mail you send unless they too pay . How crappy is this !!!! I think it should be free !!! I know people need to make money but come on . Friendship is a priceless thing . And we should be able to reconnect without all the hassle !

CLASSMATES.COM YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF We Make Through Dec.

I can not believe Christmas is once again upon us. I am sooooo ready for this year to done and over with.This has been a trying one!! I have counted 11 deaths of people I have known. My husband and I have been to the Dr. More times then I can count! He lost his job last spring. The in-laws are just getting worse and worse!!!!

Now there have been some very good things happen too. We moved on and my husband found the best job as a Planner for a major company , all the results from the Dr have been good. And I gave birth to our second son. We helped start a new church in our town with my husband as the music minister .

But all in all I pray that 2007 will be a better year for all !

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Happy New Year !

AWESOME CHRISTMAS CONCERT

Christmas time is once again upon us. There are all kinds of programs to go see but I have found a wonderful one, I love. That would be the Trans-Siberian Orchestra . They do a rock -opera Christmas program that is heart warming! I saw them four years ago in St. Petersburg ,FL ( where the band is from) and WOW! I would go see them every year if I could. A two year old and a three month old tie me down right now, so I was unable to go this year. But next year if I can find a babysitter....... I will be there. If you can not make it ..... You should buy one of their CD's!

MYSTERY OF THE OPEN GATE

It seems like every morning our front gate and back gate would be standing open . This was very odd. You see we locked them before going to bed. We leave in a very quite neighborhood . So how could this be happening ? This kept going on for weeks ..... And then the backdoor would be open . ( Yes, we locked that too) Do we have a ghost? We had a man come to fix it and found nothing wrong. Very odd. All I kept thinking of was all those scary movies with these things going on.

Finally , the door stopped coming open . But the gates kept on opening up. So, I decided to close them and sit and wait , to see what was going on. I waited and waited. Finally...... The gates opened up and low and behold............. Two big dogs where in my yard playing with my little Westie. I watched to see how they got in. I could not believe my eyes. One of the dogs pushed the handle up and opened it !!!!

The mystery finally solved. So we put a chain on the gates and the dogs can not open them up anymore! As for the door .... That is still an unsolved mystery.

UPDATE....................

Sept. 8 at 2:50 p.m., I delivered my second son ( Jeremy Hollis). He weighed 6 pounds 10 ounces and 19 and a half inches. He is very cute!!!! I will send pictures to family and friends soon. The c-section was very easy this time and the recovery is going well. My 2 year old is having some jealousy issues . Which I hope will be over soon! We even bought him a present from his new brother ( a sing a long Elmo) but he is still not real sure of this new child in his life.

HOW MANY TIMES

I will be 37 weeks pregnant tomorrow. The Dr. Wants to do the c-section on the 19th. Yea, you may say, today I went in for my NST ( non-stress test), I was having contractions. The nurse checked me and I was dilated to a 3 and cervix is thinning. We all thought the Dr. Would do the c-section . WRONG!!!!! He sent me home. Can you believe that said to stay on bedrest and drink lots of water. ( I have been doing this ) Come back if pain gets bad or water breaks , other then that , he plans on waiting for the 19th. This is making me and my husband very mad and scared! I feel like I will be pregnant FOREVER!

Oh, yeah , I had a sonogram yesterday. The baby is fine, weighs 6 pounds 14 ounces. But my fluid is 3percent higher then it should be. The baby will be 8 pounds or more when born if we wait! Reminder..... I am only 5 feet tall !!!!!!!!!

FEELING ALL FLARED UP!

19 days to go and the Dr. Plans on doing a c-section. I don't think I will make it that long. I have already been in labor and had them stop it twice , in the last two weeks. I am on strict bedrest. I feel like I am on house arrest! My in-laws are making me crazy! ( That is a whole different story ) And my husband is talking stupid . Wanting to go back into ministry full time in the near future .
He has a great job now , making great money, with awesome benefits,and doing a lot of ministry work volunteering . Bang my head on the wall!!!!! So , how is your day going?!

Good Reason

" Children are our purpose in life. Remember someone once took care of us when we were small ; now it is our turn to take care of one so small "

TODAY

Today I feel like a cat. All I want to do is sleep and eat. Going into the 7 th month of pregnancy, I get lazyer and lazyer. I will be glad when this little guy is born.:)

WHY IS IT.....?

Why is it when people get old they do some of the things they do? What do I mean ? Well ...... They can not miss a game show for anything! Price is Right , Wheel of Fortune , millionaire , and Deal or No Deal, are the most important things to them! All will break loose the day Bob Barker kick the bucket!

Chewing with mouth closed is out of the question! These seem to have their conversations while eating!

The wear the same clothes for days . The may bath but forget putting on clean clothes! The say. " I don't do anything . So why change everyday"

And if they get mad at you, they go to their room and say I am so tired , I just need to rest.

Ok so not all old people are old people are like this. But those that are ..... Why? I hope I am not like this when I get old. Want to be a fun old person.

LOVE IS.......

Love is....... Never letting go of each others hand. No matter what life throws at you .

THOUGHTS OF DAD

Father's Day is coming upon us again . This brings many thoughts of Dad. I think of the times he would take me kite flying, teaching me to ride my bike , BQing for me anf my friends, telling me how to manage money , and many life leasing. He always put his family first. I love that he instilled in me the importance of God and family.

He is a strong man. For now he fights the battle of enfazeama. Everyday he wakes up to thank God , he has another day to live. He never knows if it will be his last. Every breath is a work out for him to take. Walking is not easy , nor is eating. Even breathing is hard. He is on oxygen 24 hours a day. And walks with a cane or uses a wheel chair.

He goes thorough life singing " Trading My Sorrows" :

"I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my pain

I'm laying them down ,for the joy of the Lord!"

If only we all could be that thankful. I admire him for his faith !

UPTO DATE

Well, we got away from the church we where working at. We are doing a lot better. My husband has a job as an electrician now and does ministry work volunteer. He is in a Christian band working on a CD. He is much happier. ( So am I)

The pregnancy is going well. I can not believe I am 6 months today! This one is going fast! It is a boy! I am very happy. My two year old son will now have a buddy! And my husband will have two golfing buddies! And two new band members LOL ! The only problem I have ,is High Blood Pressure . (HMMM. Imagine that ) But it is going down with the help of meds. I have a wonderful DR. This time. So, I know all will be well!

God has Blessed us and I know we are now in his perfect will and plan. Sometimes we just do not understand why he does things like He does. But He does. :)

BAT GIRL A WHAT??!!!!!!!!

I was very sad to hear , that DC Comics has now made Bat Girl a Lesbian. When I was growing up , she was Bat Man's girlfriend. Why the change? Did Bat Man make her that mad ? What next ..... Bat man and Robin lovers? Sigh .... This is just sad! :( I liked it when it was ok for a heterosexual women could be a super hero too. Then again in the real world ,us mom's are. Are we not?!!!!)

HERE WE GO AGAIN!

It seems that the Bully has won the fight. The women in my husbands choir , that hated him and made our life a living hell, finally got her way. I don't know how , but she convinced the pastor to fire my husband this last Thursday. They did not even give him a real reason . Just that they wanted the music ministry to go in a new direction. Yesterday was to be his last service. Office to be cleaned out by tomorrow , and us out of the house by April 15. ( However , we are moving out Sat.)

How cold is that! What kind of person does this with me being 3 months pregnant! Our phone has been ringing off the wall , with people crying and wanting us to stay. It is very heart breaking. I know not all Pastors are heartless . So please , if you are one of the few that still loves people , sticks up for your staff, does not let jealousy , and mean women run your church,puts God first, let me know you are out there. This really hurts!!! I am afraid my husband may leave the ministry for good. We really need some encouragement!

BULLIES BULLIES GO AWAY

Why is it , when we are kids , bullies seem to make our life a living hell! Our parents tell us not to take it. Just give them a taste of their own medicine and they will leave you alone. Ok, so why is it , as adults we seem to fold under the bullies? They seem to grow up and become bigger and badder! You know what I am talking about. They are the ones at your job acting like they are the boss, when they are not. Somehow , we still act just like we did as kids. Run scared and let them win! I am sick of this kind of people!!!! Why don't people just grow up! Stop being so envious of others and spreading lies , and turning everyone against they good people . Come on ! We are adults now! Stop being a bully and stop letting them win!

COULD HAVE BEEN US

The other day, my husband received an e-mail from the church in Mississippi we worked at in 2004. They wanted us to check out their website and look at the pictures from Katrina. My heart broke. That could have been us too! God is truly watching us and directing our paths. My prayers are with those there. I am glad to report, no one from that church was hurt during this monster of a storm. And they are getting back on their feet! You can check out these pictures www.escatawpaassemblyofgod.com

SICK GAME

Parents beware! There is a very dangerous game kids are playing around the country. It is called "THE BLACKOUT GAME". It is a sick game of choking until passing out. Why would anyone be so stupid? This is a very horrible thing kids are doing to each other for a "thrill". Some are even doing this alone , resulting in death. Kids life is a gift from God! Enjoy it!Don't play this death game! Parents talk to your kids, worn them of the dangers. (Signs to look for are: marks on the neck and bloodshot eyes, interest in passing out and choking)

HATE VITAMINS

Doing good with this pregnacy except for the prenatals! I feel great till I pop one of these babies! I forgot how awful they are! I know I have to take them but awwww. It seems the only way to keep them down is with diet Pepsi and crackers. Any suggestions?

THE DR. YEAR

Looks like this is going to be the year for the Dr. Thank God for insurance!! My husband had his test ran . We will know the results next month. They did a sonogram on his liver and took 10 vials of blood. ( They must be vampires! LOL)

I will be making my share of trips this year also. I am expecting our second child in Sept. This is good news! Just going to be a very hot summer ! Living in Florida ,expecting, in the summer ( scream) :) Oh well, it will worth it all in the end! I love being a mommy!

TEST RESULTS

Today , my husband went to the Dr. For results of his blood test . He had these done last month , trying to find out why his colon test came out bad. The results were not what we would have ever dreamed of. The test showed a problem with his liver. The Dr. Can not figure out what it is. This is very scary!! He says it is just a small figure from being normal. What is that supposed to mean? So , Thursday we will be off to the lab for more test.

Pray all will come out fine. Hearing liver problem, freaks me out. I lost my Grandma to a liver disease when I was 12. She was not a drinker , something that just happened. My husband is not a drinker either and is only 32. This is very hard. I have to be the strong one and not let my fears show.

THE REASON ????

Could this be the real reason the seat was up again? The cat's having a party .... not the husband

BLOOD SUCKER

I can not believe what I read on MSN.com the other day. There is a man claiming to be a Vampire running for Gov. In MI. He said he feeds on blood and is a Satanic priest. He also made the comment of wanting to get our Pres. And feed off of him.

What kind of drugs is this guy on. And what kind of drugs are the people in MI on to let a sick oh run for Gov. Let alone some one making public threats to our Pres. He does not have to make a public apology but now if it had been ... Say Pat Robinson, they would have made him make one. What kind of country are we becoming?????

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??????

Did you see American Idol last night? It made me laugh so hard. How can people get up there and make such fools of them selves? The sad thing is , they think that they can really sing. And what were the judges thinking when ,they voted for the wiggly guy ,with no shoes and said he could talk to the animals. Huh???? Yep, they voted for him to go to Hollywood. He could not sing . He was a freak! This is going to be a very interesting season.

SOMETIMES A LITTLE FLARE IS GOOD

This is already one of those weeks !!!! My song for this week is " HAVE A NICE DAY " by Bon Jovi. You can hear it on www.bonjovi.com

The reason

I am so sorry for the spelling mis-haps. I try to check and clean up. But , the reason some get passed, Is my Siamese cat. She loves to sit in my lap when I am on the computer. She sometimes likes to put her paws on the key board . I guess she wants to write a blog too. lol :)

LITTLE HUNTER

I was outside the other day , with my westie and little boy. We were running and having a great time. When my Westie comes up to me , drops a small brown furry thing at my feet. It looked like a stuffed toy. But to my surpise , I looked closer , and it was a mole!!! Yuck!
I had heard that westies love to hunt . But I did not thing mine was old enough ( he is 6 months old ) And I never thought he would get a mole. This is going to be fun this spring and summer. We have lots of creatures in our yard .What will he find next ? We will see , something I am not looking forward to .

WHITE GLOVE SYNDROME

I have come to know some people with mysophobia . ( The fear of dirt and germs ) This is a sad thing to have and annoying to those of us who don't. This people continue to think everything is dirty . Even is it is bleached and sparkling clean . They won"t eat out , for fear of germs . Won"t let their kids play outside or with other kids. It is a sad thing .

You can become very mad with this people! Then again , it is fun to mess with them too . Talk about germs around them and watch them go off , maybe even get sick. Ok , Ok , I know that is wrong to do .... But it sure can be fun.

seriously , I do feel bad for them . One speck of tiny , tiny , tiny dirt is really not going to kill anybody ! Please, put the white gloves away!

ONE CRAZY MONDAY

This day started out at 6 this morning. I woke up to find that our electricity was off. Great ... No heat. I woke my husband to inform him. I was very worried because we have a 1 year old. So, he called JEA ( the electric company). They informed us it was just our house and would send someone out. The guy got here , only to find, he could not fix it . It was a Big job! So, he left for a couple of hours. He later returned with help ( four trucks !!!!) Two hours later , our electric was finally back on. Our son was fine . I kept in in his footy pj's and lots of blankets.

Next thing, I received a letter that I have been chosen for jury duty, in St. Petersburg! I have not lived there in three years!!! I call to inform them of this and all I get is a stupid recording ! Great now what am I going to do. I may just have to drive four and half hours away to go and tell them , I leave in Jacksonville!

And now my husband has just got back from the Dr. Telling me he has bronchitis (Scream) Callaghan take me away!!!!!!!!

NOT ALWAYS AS GOOD AS OT LOOKS

My husband and I decided to go out of town for New's Year. We have a 6 month old westie. So , I saw a new kennel had opened up down the road from our house. It looked wonderful! Puppy play time , swim time, private room with music. Hey, a puppy heaven. So, we took him in for the night.

We went to pick him up yesterday and I was so ticked off when they brought him out to me. He had blood on the side of his face and top of his head ! They told me , they did not know why . They said they did not have our records of his shots ( lie , I had faxed them and took them in with the dog ) so they had him away from all other dogs. He must have hit his head on the cage . Okay, whatever !! They were supposed to have had him in a room , not a cage . And he had teeth marks on him! Seeing I was mad , they did not charge us.

I got him home and put some medicine on him. They sores are much better. He also threw up a lot last night. But he is eating now and feeling better.

So, if you decide to take your animals to Pet paradise , think again. They suck!!!!!
