~~ Life with Linny ~~

ach year in the middle of May our town has a huge parade called the Lilac Torchlight Parade. We live less than a 1/4 of a mile from one of the high schools in our town and so each year around parade time that HS's band practices for the parade by going up and down the back streets around the school. It is so fun to go out every morning and sit on my deck and watch the kids march and play their music they will be playing in the parade. I also enjoy watching the cheerleaders and dance team girls. I just wish they would do it more than just that one or two weeks in May!

ou know, I have been thinking a lot about this lately. I almost wish that Bo and I would have never gotten married. I never thought I would feel that way about Bo. He has been my best friend, my lover since we met. Ever since he and I first started talking on AOL I was in love with him. But over the past several months things have gotten so bad. It seems on a daily basis he gets meaner to me. He says things that cut to the core. They break my heart. I am getting so I can't wait for him to go to work. I go to bed earlier than normal just so I don't have to listen to him yapping at me. I don't want to feel this way about him. I do love him. I just wish he would stop being so mean to me all the time. I am wondering if his parents are going to notice the strain there is between us while they are here. There is no way I could ever afford to be alone. I need Bo's salary. It's sad to say but it's the truth since I can't work.

he past several days he has been very mean because he's really stressing about his parents coming. The house isn't in perfect shape. He's worried we aren't going to get it to a spotless condition in time for them to arrive. I don't know what he expects from me. Because of my health the house isn't always as clean as it used to be. I can't help it. But the next few days we are going to be cleaning a lot. We have to shampoo the carpets also. Going to the dump is got to be done also before they arrive.

still haven't gotten to see the new Star Wars movie. Hopefully soon. I just have a hard time with crowds so I have to wait until the lines aren't quite so bad. 

Sites of the Week:

Since it is Memorial Day Weekend I decided that I would give
military sites this entry.

This is amazing. It's a sand storm in Iraq. I can't believe how dark it gets and fast. A great video to watch.

This one is also a military video. But it is a fun one. I loved watching this!

Dumb Laws of the Week:

In Delaware it is illegal to show "R" rated movies at drive-in theaters.

In Florida women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner.

In Georgia no one may carry an ice cream cone in their back pocket if it is Sunday.

"THE READERS POLL"

The Last Question I Asked You Was:

I would like to know how many of my readers are
Mom's since it is Mother's Day weekend.
So, are you a Mom or Mom to be?

 

Yes - 26

No - 4

My Next Question Is:

Have you or will you be going to see the new
Star Wars Movie: Revenge of the Sith?

 

Yes

No

 

uesday has always been my Mom's golf day with her lady friends. I told you in my last entry that she was really worried that she won't be able to golf this year because of her surgeries. Well, the good news is...Tuesday she went golfing! She told me that she actually did far better than she thought she would. The only thing she had to do that was different was ride in the cart in between holes rather than walk like she unusually does. I was happy to hear this.

ow the news of my son! Tyler and his girlfriend, Rachel did get back together. I am happy for them. She usually comes over here every day after school with Tyler and then he takes her home on his way to work at 5. Her and I talk a lot of evenings on MSN messenger and she asks me advice. She also volunteered to come over this weekend to help us clean the house for my in-laws arrival on Tuesday! How nice of her!

peaking of my in-laws. They are in Seattle now and will come to Spokane on Tuesday. They have lots of things planned over in Seattle so I am sure they are having a fun time. I was really worried about the weather while they were here because we have been having lots of rain. But mother nature decided to be nice and the past few days we have had some gorgeous sunny days and it's supposed to stay warm for a while. It is almost 85 today and I have the AC on! The only problem with the warm weather and not the rain is that we will have to do lots of things outdoors!

nd speaking of that. My health insurance still hasn't approved my scooter. So, Monday I will have to go and rent a wheel chair to use for all the walking we will do while they are here. That will be far more embarrassing for me but what am I to do? I can barely walk to our mail box without hurting like heck.

ne of the things we hope to do while they are here is to go to that great restaurant we went to last fall. I talked about it in my journal but I am sure I have lots of new readers that didn't read about it. What it is is a like a chuck wagon dinner theater. You first go out side and watch a skit they put on. Like the wild west and they have audience participation. Then you go inside and go through a line and have food like they might have had on a cattle drive in the 1800's. (BBQ Chicken, Beef, Ribs, Beans, Rolls, Salad and Cake). After dinner they then put on a live show of lots of toe tapping cowboy music. With the fiddles, guitars, bass and more. It is the funnest evening. It is about a 4 hour evening. It is a bit spendy but worth every penny.

e will also be celebrating my MIL's birthday which is June 3rd and my youngest son, Willy's 15th birthday on June 5th. I am thinking we will have a joint party to celebrate.

ome of you may have noticed that I put back in my Readers Poll. I didn't have it in my last entry and I got several people asking me why I took it out! So, I have put it back in!

k, as for the American Idol finals. What can I say. Sure I wanted Bo to win but I am hoping that the same thing will happen as in season 2 with Reuben and Clay. I love Bo and I actually have him on my desktop background right now! He is so gorgeous! Specially when he takes them terrible sunglasses off! How many of you watched the 3 judges, Ryan, Carrie and Sexy Bo on Larry King Live tonight? What a good show. I just wish that Bo would have spoke a bit more.

love my TiVO! It is the greatest thing ever. I can go back and watch Bo all I want! I also really liked Scott so I have his performances saved also. In fact, Kathi  (private journal) sent me a bunch of Scott's MP3's and I was so excited about that! So thank you Kathi!

ave you ever had something on your mind that you don't want to say out loud (or in this case saying it in your journal) because you know that once you have said it then you know it is actually a problem?  But if you keep it to yourself then the problem isn't really there since no body but you knows about it? (Did that make any sense at all??) Well, I have something that I know and I have been afraid to tell anyone, besides Bo that is. I actually didn't tell him he discovered it on his own.

hat am I talking about? If I admit it to you all then I know I need to have it checked. A couple of weeks ago I discovered 2 lumps on my stomach. Inside kind of...under the skin. Like a lump you may find on your breast is the closest I can describe them I guess. One on each side. And since then I have gotten a couple of more. One of them on the left side hurts. Specially when I sleep on it since I sleep on my left side. That is when Bo discovered them was in bed one night. They also hurt when I drive from time to time if the steering wheel bumps the spot that they are in. I know that I have to get in and find out what they are at the doctors but I told Bo that I am going to wait until after his parents leave. After all I don't want to ruin the trip for them and us. Bo and I are both really worried about them. I haven't really told Bo how worried I actually am and also how badly they hurt. Especially the ones on the left side. That's the main reason he is so mean to me anymore...he is so frustrated that I am always sick.

hy is it that I continue to find problems with me and my health? I just want to be healthy. I am so scared that these are something really bad and I once again may have to have surgery and possibly more.  I was going to mention this in my last entry but didn't want to share it with anyone yet. Because then if I didn't maybe it will all just go away. I know this isn't the case though.

nough of the downer stuff. Time to be more upbeat once again. Do you all have plans for the Memorial Day weekend? We are going to a BBQ Saturday and also the dump before that. Then Sunday is major cleaning house day. Monday will be finishing up with any house cleaning we may have and also I want to go to the cemetery to put flowers on my baby girls grave and my Dad's. And Tuesday will be Bo's first day of vacation and his parents will be here in the afternoon/early evening.

lease don't be offended if I don't get to any of your journals next week and leave comments. I am sure that we are going to be too busy with the in-laws.

ay you all have a fun but safe holiday weekend!

  Hello Linny-
  I am so worried that your last entry was May 27th. I hope you are ok? I also took a break from journaling for a couple of weeks, but Im now trying to get back into wriitng and posting to my favorite journals again (one of them is yours).
  Your hubby problems sound like a repeat of mine. We are also going down the tubes very, very quickly. He is not the same man I married and has essentially turned into a very mean, bitter and scary man. I am at the crossroads of leave or endure this abuse and crap. I've tried everything to make it better and so far nothing has worked. I want out Linny, plain and simple. Those are words I thought I would never, ever say. When my Mom passed away on April 30th of this year it woke me up: I want to live and to be happy and the best person I can be and so should you! Your such a sweetie, a great Mom and very talented with your web design's.
  So just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers always and I miss your entries in your journal, but understand the need for a break here and there. If you need anything I am just an email or an IM away, ok? ANYTIME girlfriend!
  
  Peace,
  Gayla
