Dance of the shopping carts

This morning , I woke up at 4 AM , wide awake . So , I got up and decided to go shopping at Walmart . I was one of the first people there . Grapped a shopping cart and waited in line for the store to open .
Five o'clock came around and the fun began ! I had already looked at the ad and decided what I wanted to buy . The store was lined with palets of stuf in the main asless . Around and around I went , picking up things to buy . It was astually fun ! People were nice and not pushy . You must think I was on a another planet . I could not beleive it , the spirit of Christmas is still around ! And people have it here this year ! They were even giving up some of there thingd , so that others could have them ! This was like a dream ! I swear I was awake and not sleep walking !
I found all the things I planned on buying except for two of them . And all in 30 minutes . I even found a line that had no one else in it ! HOt dog !! I spend $136 and got a bunch of stuff ! What a wonderful day !

Dear Santa

This Friday Night , the town here is having a Christmas lighting down town . There will be all kinds of family things to do . And , Santa will be there. We plan on taking the kids . So , I asked Lucas what he was going to tell Santa he wanted . I had to laugh at what he said , " A box of nails , a hammer , a helicopter . and a guitar . " Don't know what has on his mind to do with all this. So , I asked him . He said , " I need to make toys , then fly them to kids and play music ." Well , Lucas , we will see what Santa can do . :)

Dog Days

Yesterday Morning , I was sitting enjoying my Coffee , when I saw a New dog walking down the street . He looked to be a Blue Heller cross Hound dog . I thought nothing of it until he came over our fence to visit my dog .He would not leave ! I tried everything . Finally , I called the animal control . They got here to find him sound asleep in my back yard , as if he belonged here . The animal control guy said " You got him ! We have been tiring to get this dog for 2 weeks now ." He had been going into the local Basha's,into the meat department stealing steaks and cheese . But no one could get to him . I guess he liked me and our home . So, you could saw I caught the town theif ! I hope they find him a home our his owners .

Small Town Halloween

We just got back from taking the boys Trick Or Treating . And I have to say , it was the best Halloween I have ever seen . We live in a mining town in AZ , so it is very safe . The whole town was out ! It seemed like a Halloween from the 50's or from an old Halloween family movie .
Lucas was of coarse Spider man ( who wasn't ) and Jeremy was a bear .Everyone acted like Lucas was the only Spider man . And all was as nice as could be . It was like I was dreaming .
We first went down our block , then came home and handed out candy , while I got the little one to bed . Mind you our bags where half way full . And not with crap candy but the good stuff ! Then Lucas and I went down to the streets where EVERYONE was at . I only took down 3 blocks of that , and we were very tired . So, back home , we came with now a full bag of good candy . Very good Halloween . Wish it could be this safe everywhere . Now to try to get Lucas to bed .LOL!!! Good luck , huh ! :)

Numb

The winds of change are upon me . My Dad has been sick with Emphysema for about 10 years now. And now the final stages are kicking in . This is very hard and probably harder on me because I am an only child . The only way I can truly vent is here on my blog .It is too hard to talk about . yes , I have my husband but it is hard for him to talk about it too .

A couple of weeks ago Mom had to rush Dad to Tucson , V A hospital . He was having strange blood pressure readings . Very low and then spiking High . Breathing not good too . The Dr were afraid he had phenomena . ( Thank God he did not ) He stayed there for 4 days .

During all this my Mom is becoming someone I do not know . Very hateful and saying things that cut to the bone . I am sure it is the stress of everything but it still hurts.

Dad told me that at this point , he does not go to the hospital to get better but to help cope . He is ready to go . He is just waiting . They say that he could go at any time . But he does not want me to know that the Dr's have said this .

I know all are appointed a time to die but his is hard .Mainly the treatment from them . I will be glad when this is all over . I know that sounds bad but I am tried of seeing him go through this .
What does emphysema do ? Well , it is a slow suffocating death . You have no energy . It becomes hard to walk , talk , eat , go to the bathroom and bath . All takes too much energy . You end up on oxygen 24 / 7 and most of the time in bed . Most die from heart failure or coughing and chocking to death , then some go in their sleep . It is not a pretty thing . So , if you smoke .... think twice . Do you want to end up like this ? Not only is it hard on you but think of your family .

PMS + A SCREAMING 3 YEAR OLD = AHHHH!!!!!

I do not know what has gotten into my 3 year old ! He has become a hard to handle child ! I swear he is 3 going on 16 . He screams all the time , whines and tells me and my husband to " shut up " . I am ready to call in supernanny ! And yes , we desipline him . Nothing is working ! Help ! I feel like I am failing as a Mom :( . Thank God the one year old is good ( hopefully he will stay that way ) The two are like night and day . The bad thing is they already fight . I need a vacation !

FOR THE LOVE OF FREEDOM

The other day , I was blog surfing and surfing on other sites and began to find many blogs from our American soldiers. To see their pictures and read their stories , my heart filled with pain and tears began to flow down my cheeks . We do not even know what all they have and are going through for us . They have a deep love for mankind and our country . The have and are putting thier lifes on the line every moment to protect us . Sacrificing their minds and body , all for love ! How many of us can say that we would do that ? The Bible says we are to love our neighbors as our self , and no greater love then those that lay down thier life for their brother . I love our soilders , pray for them daily and want to say " Thank you !!!!!" I challenge you to thank them when you see them . Remember what all they are doing for you ! Only one other loved us as much and more , Jesus Christ .

Fall colors ( will a girl ever learn)

Fal began last Sat . so I thoguht I would make my hair a darker blonde . Went to good old Wlmart and bought a carmal blonde . Looked like a nice color . Got to my Mom's and put it on , waited the 25 minutes , then rinsed it out . Oh , my Goodness !! It had turned GREY !!! Now normally a carmel color has a red undertone , not this one ! It had ash ( green ) ! Well , Rob likes red so I thought lets try red . Off to the store again . Bought red and went home . Put it on , waited and rinsed . What the heck!!!! It was now burgandy ! Rob said don't worry , we will get it fixed .
He called my friend , Lee , who is a hairdresser and also on his praise team at church. She said she would fix it . So , off to her house we went . Now mind you , they where to have band practice in two hours from the time we got there .
We began the process . She weaved in blondes with foil . Time got away from us and yes , she missed practice . However , being the bosses wife , it was all good !:) We then put a brown on the hair left out of the foil . Waited and the rinsed and cut . It turned out so cute and I love the color ! All of this and she did not want any money . Thank God for friends ! ( Yes , I paid her anyway )
now the funny thing is .....I am also a hairdresser , so you would think I would stop playing with my poor hair . Someday it may fall out and call me dirty names !LOL

Jeremy's 1 st B- day

Sept 8 was my baby's 1st Birthday . Time sure goes by ! It seems like I just had him !!! Here are some pictures :)Our new Kitty even got cake !

In Loving MemoryOf Natasha

Aug 2002 - Sept 4 ,2007 We miss you Girl

Natasha

This is in loving memory of my dear Siamese , Natasha . Yesterday , I had to have her put to sleep . She had Feline Leukemia . She was 5 years old . This is a hard thing to see a cat go through . She stopped eating , and had a hard time going to the potty , and got where she could not walk .
Natasha was a wonderful cat and I am so glad she was a part of our family . We got her when she was little thing , fit in the palm of our hands . She would meet me at the door everyday , ready for milk and petting . She had been a part of Rob and I from the beginning of our relationship .
After I had Lucas , she would help watch out for him . The same for Jeremy , when he came along .She loved those boys ! Even though she was so sick , she continued to watch out for them . Sleeping under their beds .
She was also a great hunter . She had no claws but still could kill the scorpions and all the other bugs that came along .
I think she knew she was getting very sick . Two months ago , she would wake me up ever night , hitting me in the head and then having me get up with her . She would eat and then come back to bed , snuggling up to me as close as she could get .
She also loved to play catch . And we had her toilet trained !
I am going to miss Tasha ! She was a very special cat .

Hello , out there !

Hey , where are all my blogger friends ? No one has blogged in a while or added any comments . Where are you ? I miss reading your blogs ! :(

Pulling out my hair

The last couple of days have been something else ! Rob had to work this week-end so me and the boys went to my Mom's . The ride went ok until half way and then the boys started to fight . Yes , already at this age !
After we got there , I had Lucas go outside to play for awhile. He loves to play outside his nana's. Later I and mom went out to see what he was doing . We found him talking to the boys next door . ( These are the neighbors that had the Pit bull , They have got rid of him ) The two next door kids were saying that they wanted to fight Lucas and my dog ! I told them we do not fight ! Then , I took Lucas in . Being 3 , he did not know what the boys were saying . I wish this people would move away !
The rest of the week-end went ok . I drove home yesterday only to find , my kitchen was full of ants! I put the baby in his crib , had Lucas go play outside with the dog , and stated to kill ants and clean them up . Fun, Fun . Fun !
I thought I had got reed of them .Was I wrong ! I opened the frig only to find ants inside ! What the ........! I did not think they would go in there ! So, I called Rob . He went and got me some traps , vinegar and killer . I once again cleaned and killed ants.So, far , so good !
I hope this day gets better . It is only 11:00 . I still have a whole day to go .

Count Down

Lucas , my 3 year old , is soo excited today . Why ? Because High School Musical 2 will be on tonight .He loves the first movie . Funny , he sings with it and does the dances . The kid is just like me , he loves music ! He heard the commercial for the movie and came running all the way across the house to the living room . This will be a fun night . I hope the second one is as good as the first .

First haircut

I finally gave in and cut Jeremy's hair . I had a hard time making myself do it . Because he has pretty curly , blond hair . But we did it ! He did not even cry !

SWEET WORDS

THIS WEEK-END , I WAS NOT FEELING TOO WELL . I HAD A HEADACHE FROM HELL ! HOWEVER, I RECEIVED THE BEST MEDICINE YOU COULD ASK FOR . LUCAS, MY 3 YEAR OLD , CAME RUNNING UP TO ME AND CALLED ME , PRINCESS MOMMY . I ASKED HIM WHAT MADE HIM CALL ME THAT , AND HE SHOWED ME MY WEDDING PICTURE . HE SAID HE HAD A PRINCESS MOMMY . THAT MADE MY WHOLE LIFE ! MY HEAD STARTED TP FEEL ALOT BETTER AFTER THAT !

All Dogged Out

Right after I wrote my last post , Rob and I got out and cleaned up my parents yard . I went in to shower and after I got out and redressed , I saw rob outside taking pictures . I asked my Dad what he was doing . He informed me that the dog next door had gotten out again and was coming after my dog again ! Rob was taking Pictures of the dog to show that he was out . He also took a video of him running around and the other neighbor putting him back in his yard . We called animal control and it took them 30 minutes to get there .
After they got there , Rob talked to them and they called the police. The animal control guy said he and the cop from the first night , were both afraid of the dog too . They could not keep him because the did not have enough evidence against him . Meaning he did not hurt anyone , so they had to give him back. He also told Rob that the owner was 18 , did not live next door , but his girlfriend's Mom did and she was taking care of the dog . he also told the animal control guy that he was a lier , the cop was a leir and I and my Mom were liers . By the way the dog does not have rabbie shots and they still gave him back with the guy promising to get them .
The police took the report and told Rob to bring the pictures and video to the station . Now we have to wait for a court hearing . The dog is chained up next door . However, I have seen a Pitbull( the one here in Morenci ) break a big chain before . Wish us luck !

The Pits

You will never guess what I saw today . We came down to my parent's late today and as soon as we drove up , there "he " was , the pit bull from last week !!! Yes , the guy next door went and got him back from animal control today . Oh, but it gets better ... He came over and told my Mom ( before we got in ) that I was lieing . That his dog never left the yard , could not jump the fence and would never come after anyone . She told him , oh yeah , he jumped on the fence and over in the yard and came after us . All he did was turn away and go home . Now the fight is on !!! I will be going to the police . They said they would call us and tell us if the dog was coming back . Guess what ? No phone calls ! I am HOT !!!! What is it going to take ? Someone getting killed . Like a little 3 year old did in Show Low , Where it is now a crime to own one of these monsters .
This story will be continued . I will keep you up dated .
