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!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Wow, what a year 2005 has been ! It seemed to be the year Mother Nature showed us She was very upset ! Storm after storm moved through the earth . Yet , one more Hurricane is lurkung in the sea . Yes, hurricane season was "over" Dec, 1 .

This was also the year we saw gas prices jump through the roof . This seemed to make people go crazy , here in Jacksonville. They would do anything for the "Gold" fluid. From stealing from stations , other cars , letting thier cars run out of gas and leaving them , to killing one another.

Yes, this was a trying year . Let us hope 2006 is better . Keep our eyes up and say a little prayer . HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MAY GOD SPEED !

HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH

My husband , sister in-law , my son , and I all went to Disney World the day after Christmas . Talk about the wrong time of year to go ! There were so many people there , it made Christmas Eve at Wal-mart look peaceful.

I was shocked to see they way they rip you off! You have to pay 9 dollars for parking ,then $56 ( Florida residents) or $63 ( for non- residents ) . When you finally get to the park you want to go into , you are very hungry . So, you go to get something to eat . We chose hotdogs , thinking this would be the cheapest , it was $30 for freaking hotdogs!!!

It was very pretty ,all decorated for the Holidays. The Christmas parade was going on when we got in. Very nice . And the Cinderella Crowning was cool . But not many rides , and when you finally found them , 45 min. To 2 hour waits ! Not many characters either.

All I could hear was the sound of money . And thinking "Can you Imagine all the money coming in this place every day?!"

I say next time , we will put the money into a resort there and then go to downtown Disney . It is free to get in there and they have all the stores the parks do . Just no rides or characters.

HAVE A HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS

Can you believe it , tomorrow is Christmas Eve ? I have all the gifts wrapped and stockings stuffed ! Hope to make good memories for my son. Christmas holds many fond memories for me . But the best times were at my Grandma's house in Pagosa Springs , Co . She was the greatest Grandma around !!!

My Dad would always load up the car , Mom and me . Off we would go on the two hour drive. I would get so excited the closer we would get . It seemed to take FOREVER to get there . Oh but it was worth the wait !!

Finally we would arrive , lights all through the town and snow everywhere! It looked like a Christmas Village you would buy in the store . Grandma and Grandpa would be at the door with many hugs . Her house would be decorated like Macy's department store. Red and silver . Outside would be lights and Christmas characters build by Grandpa and Dad . ( They say Grandma always put more out front , so the handicap man across the street , would have something to look at ) She loved everyone and always put them first.

After we would get there , my Aunt and Uncle would come over . Sometimes we would have a special visit from my Uncle from California. I loved when everyone from the family could be there. We then would eat , visit and sing. Finally , we would open up gifts . The house never seemed to rest . People from all over town would stop by to say Merry Christmas . Grandma had a gift for all .

I miss those times and Grandma and Grandpa. It makes me sad to know my son will never meet them. But I can try to make Christmas like they did and tell him how wonderful they were. Hope you make your Christmas special for your loved ones too. :) Have a very Merry Christmas.

WHAT NEXT?

Now I have seen it all ! Cyber Santa. Yes, if you are to busy to take the kids to see Santa , or if the lines are to busy..... Now you can just logg on and talk to Santa on-line. He has a web cam and you can see him and talk to him. How cool is this. Of course I would be watchful . You never know what sick o's may be posing as Santa and just be out there to be a perve. I think I will just make the time to go to the mall and deal with the long line. This way you are with your kid and "Santa" does not get personal info. Unfortunately , it is not a nice world these days.
