Wrestlemania and Out of the Mouths of Babes.

I did absolutely nothing today.  Tomorrow I know I will do even less as it will be near 100 degrees.  Ug.  We did have rain early this morning or it could have been late morning as I sleep in.  My son, his wife and my two grand kids left for Vegas this evening.  My other grandson went with to help with the driving.  We had sooooo much fun last night when I took them to dinner and then back at the house.  I  wrestled with Cami for about and hour.  She is so fucking strong!!!!!!!  I am not kidding you.  I am no slouch myself because when I put my mind to something...watch out!  I figured I would be absolutely a mess physically today but nope.  I'm fine.  I made sure that every time I flipped her....she wouldn't get hurt.  She was awesome crazy and I said....freakishly strong.  Josh, on the other hand, kicks.  Like a girl.  Josh is the girl in the family and Cami is the boy. Hm.  'Baby they were born that way.'  Except....Cami is only 7  but she has the dance moves of a 20 year old stripper and the brain of an adult.  Lock her up NOW!  I wish there was a way I could explain the way she talks.  She is not an "old soul" like my grandson Cain.  It is her thought patterns and the way she puts sentences together.  For example:  I was pulling into my ex's driveway to see the kids.  They were staying there.  We all get along.  His wife too.  Anyway,....my ex and I always kid around and when I pulled into the driveway, I drove right up to where he was standing.  Up close.  As I was getting out of the car Cami says, "Did you almost run Pu-Pup over because he broke up with you?"  Whaaaat?  Where did she ever get that idea?  So I immediately told her "Yeah."
Yup.  I miss them already.  I will be going there next June but may have to go sooner.
Peace.

Saying Goodbye.

Went to dinner with friends in Aurora, Illinois.  Then to a play their grand daughter was in.  I love plays so much.  I get totally caught up in them.  This one was "Foot Loose."  It was all I could do not to get up and dance. Really!

Will be going out to  see my son and his family tonight to take them to dinner.  They are leaving tomorrow to go back to Las Vegas.   Grandson Cain is going with them so that Jennifer doesn't have to drive the whole way by herself.  Cain recently got his license and I hope he does OK.  Please pray they have a safe trip home.  Cain will fly home.  I would like to go with them and help drive but I have several appts. and more so, my anxiety has reared it's ugly head for the last week or so.  I honestly can't say why.  My son and daughter have been on the outs for a few years now.  They talked for about 45 minutes yesterday regarding Cain's going to Vegas.  I am thrilled for that.  I have told them many times that at some point they will have only each other although they will always have their spouses and kids.  John and Jennifer will be taking Cain to church with them Saturday night.  They really want my daughter's family to embrace Christ.  Pray that they do.  It  doesn't take away problems but it will help them deal with them.  They will know to lay their burdens at the foot of the cross.  And more importantly...they will get to spend eternity in Heaven. 

Not much has been going on here with me.  I hate that I am always so tired.  I hate that I feel I don't have the energy to do the things I want and need to do around the house.  It is often just a matter of getting off my lazy ass to begin and more often that not, I start getting a kind of momentum.  Then I keep going.

Heat.  Don't want to eat. When I do, the food doesn't stay with me very long.  Can't weigh myself cuz Hunter threw the scale out.  I wish we still had it.  It weighs us at 30#s less than we really are.  Then I can pretend that is my true weight.  Oh...I do alot of pretending.  Facing reality is a bit too difficult at times.

Hunter took Maggie to the farm with him this morning.  I tried to talk him out of it.  When he got home....he let her out of the car to pee and she didn't.  Then the little fucke puppy instantly peed in the house. 

High of 100 degrees again.  I am sure they will cancel Meadow's ball game.  Is heat really different in dry climates?  People say it is and I tend to believe them.  I'll find out when I visit Vegas this coming June.

Wishing you all peace.



Hope you are all well and able to escape the heat.

The little black puppy, no whining she makes.

I thought puppies cried at night.  Maggie doesn't.  The only whining she does is if she wants to come in and also right before she has to pee.  You should see me fly around to pick her up and get her outside.  Often it is mid-pee but we are getting better at letting her out.  That's right.  Anytime she is awake, we take her out.  Ha.  No.  It is still to hot.  Not fit for man or beast.

Nothin' much going on because of the heat and we are tired.  Will probably buy her a pool and a little fenced thingie like a playpen for outside. 

Don't hear alot from my kids but I guess they are busy.  We seem to be having mostly meat every night.  Hunter grills.  Chicken tonight and last night he grilled venison, hog ribs and some normal meat (steak) for me.  We are eating like cavemen.  I just can't imagine eating a big meal.  Fruit, salad.  That's enough.

Haven't made vet appt. but we need to take her soon.  Hope she is well cuz I sometimes hear a cough that I worry about.

Have a great week!

I feel like I am in a dream.

There's no way it can be this hot for this long.  I don't live in that place.  I want snow!!!!  It's been too busy also.  I don't see a reprieve until Thursday but WAIT!  I can't wait for Thursday!  We are heading over to Iowa to see and probably get a Black Lab!  And they also have small labs?  Like not miniatures but.....I think they are half sized?  I know what I mean but I can't explain it.  I WANT ONE!  Will name it pixie or dixie or I don't even care.  I am excited.  Beyond excited!

Today I had my hair "striped".  Looks blond enough for Hunter to go, "Whoaaaa!"  What?  Noooo.  I didn't get it done because I will be seeing my ex tomorrow.  We are going to his house where my grandson will be having his birthday party. 

Sunday is church and then dinner with Matt, Deb and the grand kids.

Monday I have dentist appt. for a broken tooth.  Ya know, I go to the dentist ever 6 months.  Why does this even happen?  Then I see the psych. for a med check.  I am going to have her cut back on one at a time.  Ever since I have been on the thyroid meds my depression is gone!!!!  I am always afraid to say that - like it's a jinx or something.

Tuesday is dinner at my friends house with other friends.
Wed is......NO. WAIT!  Wednesday is the day we will go to Iowa unless we go to Meadows ballgame.  Hmmmm.  She has more games coming up so....I choose the dog!

It's still too early.

I am hot and tired.  I feel terrible for all those who are having even hotter weather and/or have to work in it.  Today we are going to meet Hunter's son and Matt's family at the Dells.  So what do you wear to play mini-golf and then go to dinner at a place that requires reservations?  Doesn't really matter because well, it's Wisconsin after all.  Plus, I will be a bucket of sweat once we get there despite an air conditioned vehicle.  Mini-golf may just be a thought on Hunter's part and if we end up sitting outside the pool in the sun for a few hours.,......that will not sit well .with me.  I could bring my suit and... even though I couldn't care less about changing clothes in public like beside my car or at poolside, I think that could get me arrested.  We plan to get there around 2pm and dinner reservations aren't until 7pm.  What will we be doing in the mean time?  We just wanted to spend some time with the grankids doing something other than watching them swim.  Sure, that would be fine but they have a pool at home and they go to resorts/waterparks almost every weekend so their house stays clean.??????  So don't you think we could just play games or laugh or do all the things we do with my son and daughter and their kids?  Please don't think I am doing a preferential thing regarding my kids against his kids.  I am not like that.  Well, we have much more fun with my kids' children but Hunter's kids all have their shit together financially so.......

For instance.....Saturday my son, his wife and their two kids (plus Tebow) came over.  Jennifer and Cami went to Jenn's grandma's and John and I went to the flea market.  Hunter watched Tebow.  He loved it because he really misses having a dog.  And yes,....it was really hot but John and I had the best time at the flea market.  We were able to sneak a little time in front of the fans in some of the semi-open buildings and there was also a large building that was air-conditioned.  Love being with that boy.  Then once we got home we met up with Jenn and Cami at Buona Beef to eat.  Afterwords, Jenn wanted to take me to her new favorite store that she discovered with her grandma.  There was one  on the way home to my house also so we girls went and John and Hunter went home.  The store is called Charming Charlies, not that most of you are familiar with it, and in fact, I always though it was a restaurant.  It was fun!  Lots of trendy and inexpensive jewelry, hats, purses, some clothes and other inexpensive accesories.  I bought 2 hats for Cami because she looks so damn cute in them and....she actually wears them.  I only bought two scarves.  They were so delicate and victorian looking and...What?  Well yeah, I do literally have at least forty scarves but they don't take up any room so it's not like I am adding to the clutter.  Oh, and some perfume just because it had a roller ball applicator.  Now what?  Yes as a matter of fact I do have alot of perfume already but this was just a tiny little vial.  Now leave me alone!

Once we got home, Jenn and I went up to my bedroom and showed Cami all my purses.  Now you'd think a girl her age would be all ooooo and ahhhh.  Nope.  She is kind of a little adult at times.  She's like....why do you have so many?  You don't have room for all these.  Why do they still have price tags on them?  (that little shit!)    I'd already given her a tiny coach purse and a Kathy Van Zealand purse.  Plus while we were up there looking I gave her another coach purse and another purse.  Then we looked at my necklaces.  You know, going to Grannies is like shopping at a really cool store.  I had already given Jenn a Brighten purse and when we were looking at the jewelry, she liked a Lia Sofia necklace so that was hers.

But this is what I am talking about.  Sure we made plans to go to the flea market but they were running late and that was fine with me.  No strict time scheduale.  Just fun.
I will be bringing a good attitude to the Dells.  We will see what transpires.  At the very least, it will be a nice drive and I know I'll get a good meal.

Sorry for any errors in this post.  Either spell-check is broken or I am getting really good at spelling.  I am laughing my ass of at my comment about spelling.  Let's just say I will never enter a spelling bee.

Lakes, pools, lemonade for everyone!!!!!

Hotter than Hell?

I'm guessing hell is hotter.  100 degrees last week, 97 degrees today and 90's all this coming week.  And yes.  John and I are going to the flea market.  Hunter is going to babysit Tebow I know there is at least on large airconditioned building.  I like to take my cart so I don't have vision out of one to carry stuff.  What a difference that makes.  But with the crowd of people inside - I can't imagine anyone setting up outside today - I think the cart will get in the way.  I will carry a backpack as will my son.  I worry about him in the heat.  Ever the  mother, right?  It will be difficult with his limited vision.  He does quite well and you might not even notice it but he has only about 1/4th or 1/5th of vision out of one eye and none out of his other.  The problem is with his depth perception and he certainly has no periferal vision.  So the crowds of pushy people might piss him off.  I know if he was with his wife, he would hold her hand.  I'm thinking he will put his hand on my shoulder.  The word of the day is.......WATER.  Oddly, I can't think of anything I need or want.  But despite the heat, I am excited.  To spend the day with my son is the best thing ever.  He and I are so much alike in humor and he is as easy-going as I am. 
Again......it is amazing to go through my house without needing a compass to find our way through the maze of shit.  I have a ton of stuff to go through yet but this time......it's all going to Goodwill.  It is so easy and the guys there are amazing!  Easier still is the fact that you can haul it all there in your rubbermaid totes and get those back. 

Monday we will be going to meet up with Matt, Deb and two of our other grandkids.  It should be interesting.  Hope we can at least get them out of the water long enough to be able to play mini-golf and go to dinner.    It's about a 2 1/2 to 3 hour drive for us and we plan to come back the same day.

Sorry for any typos.  Spell check doesn't work weekends.  So.  I am just checking in here.  Hope you are all well, and for anyone involved in the floods, heat, wildfires and any type of illness', God Bless you.  I pray for health and happiness.  Peace.

After the sale and more so the day after, I thought I died .......

and went to ....er, no.  I was too tired to even catch the bus to Heaven.  I slept alot.  Made a little over $300.00 as did my neighbor.  My son and daughter-in-law worked their asses off.  I smoked and drank coffee worked really hard too .  Today we hauled the leftovers to Goodwill.  Hunter says, "Now you are banned from Goodwill for 3 weeks because you would probably buy it all back."  He's right.  My neighbor -who talked me into having this sale- made coffee cake for our breakfast then a meal for us to come and get a plate of whenever we wanted.  My grandson Josh -age 9- thought it was the greatest thing ever that he could just go over there.  And man, you should have seen him selling lemonade.  OMG!  He was the cutest dude ever!  He was hollering out, "Lemonade!  Cold Lemonade!  If you want it hot, then scram.!"  He held the sign and then he was twirling it like they do in Vegas and I have seen this in Florida too.  I gave him start-up money with no thought of getting it back.  I'm Granny you know.  Damned if he not only counted it up but he also returned the start-up cash to me when he had made enough.  Their puppy Tebow is so precious!  Everyone asked if she was for sale.  The other two things that everyone wanted were the ladder at the end of the driveway that signifies a sale and was decorated with signs and a shiny, attention getting heart cascade.  And....they wanted my little old wooden rocking chair that I had brought out for Josh to sit on.  I am glad it's done and once again........."I SWEAR I WILL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER SALE!!!!!!" 

Tomorrow we are going to Cain's ballgame.  The weather will be really nice.  We will not go to Meadow's game Thursday cuz it will be 100 degrees out.  I was sure they wouldn't have these kids play in that heat but....yup, they have never cancelled due to the heat.  I also see my therapist tomorrow.

Thursday I have my sleep study.  I will have to have a talk with these people or they will just up my titration without even delving deeper.  It could be because of the type of "mask" I use or,...sometimes I wake up and my arms are all red or my stomach has that pitiqia or whatever those red dots are that indicate a person isn't getting enough oxygen.  I wish I could go to the place I went to the first time.  That guy was young and cute very patient and observant.  I do sleep very well though.  It's just that I wake up and am so tired all the time. 
I also think the synthyroid is making me tired aaaaannd messing with my blood sugar.  But I love that it has somehow absorbed all my depression!!!!!  It's like a miracle.

My son and I and his family want to go to the flea market.  It is my favorite thing to do.  My late husband and I used to go every month.  Hunter and I have gone a few times and I have gone a few times alone and/or with my kids.  John and I will go regardless of the weather.  I totally crave a funnel cake.  They also have those big pretzels but with cream cheese in the middle.  To die for!

The following week brings a whole other type of family.  Hunter's son and wife and our grandkids with them are going to be here from Florida.  There is still a conflict of plans and I am staying out of it.  Hunter and his son are two adults and can figure this out themselves.  Shit,  even as I am saying this, I plan to look up the Wilderness resort to see what/if we would pay to get into the water park just for the day.  I think it is that Monday.  The end of the week is Josh's birthday party to which my daughter will not be invited.  Remember, my son and daughter's families have issues between them.

Just wanted you to know I have survived my final garage sale.  What?  I can hear you laughing you know.

Peace.
