I was thinking about my grand mother and what a constant she was in my life since moving to Kansas from Florida (Where I wish I lived now).I was thinking how she was a different woman then the woman my mom knew....and my great grand mother a different woman then my grandmother must have known and the granny my mom knew her to be. I am lucky to still be able to visualize my great grand mother in my mind today. My mom loved her to death....I was a little scared of her..but still I stayed the night with her off and on. She was never mean...She would have you do some strange things at times....I remember one time in particular she told me to go wash up in her bathroom...she had a large kitchen in which she put to good use...she was making biscuits from scratch at the time. I think I wanted to help her...tee hee...and now that I am writing she may have did what she did just to keep me busy til she got finished....I bet that was it...any way she told me to go to the bath room wash up and make sure I wash my eye balls too..not eyes ....eye balls...tee hee. I can still remember walking into the small closet almost sized bathroom thinking to myself...does she really want me to wash my eye balls...I take the was cloth...wet it...lather up the soap like she said and wash my face...lightly going over the out side of my eyes so not to get any soap in them....I walk out of the bath room and she asks me if I washed up and I said yes as I walk over to her she asked me did you wash you eye balls...I say yes on the out side...she tells me no to wash my eye balls out...what the heck..she takes me to the bath room after I tell her it will burn my eyes and washes hers...now I can't be for certain if for sure she puts soap in her eyes or not but it looks like it...then she tells me to wash mine and off she goes back to making the biscuits....I was in that bath room for a long time before I came out...needless to say I did not wash my eye balls just the out side again. When I came out she was already done with the biscuits and was already cooking on the stove. She asked me again...careful not to get to close to her cause she might know I set out the dishes on the table and off to bug her grumpy husband I go....LOL...all another story...but any way she was to me like a Godly time of person because of the stories my mom would tell me..and although I was scared to stay away from home I would sleep well in her house after giong to sleep...I spent a lot of nights at home wide awake and scared to go to sleep. So at least I felt safe. Back to the main topic....so as I was saying each woman different to the off spring of the child of that woman. The stories my mom told of my great grand mother were of a woman who was the world to her...but to hear my grand mother although she ALWAYS talked highly of her mother she would tell me what it was like growing up and all of us woman know we change through the years. We learn that some things are worth fussing over and some just aren't. So her mother was a strick woman with good Christian values and not much time for love to be dished out. And they same goes with my grand mother for me....I could not say too many cross things about her and my love over flows for her....But the thing that is the same with each of the woman in our family that runs to each generation is one thing for sure...Each of us straight down to my daughter who is grown and on her own have this one thing we share...we are the worlds greatest person to talk to and give sensible advise but we are notorious on never taking the advise we spill out to others....I am happy to say that when I told my daughter to find a friend and she would find love that she found that love...someone who has and shares her interest and that loves her because they are best friends....the other woman in this family have all didn't really head the advice given from the wiser woman who all lived it.....But one thing I have learned from my life and I feel from my grand mother is....there is no true love greater than the love of a child...so if you are out there and lucky to be single at the moment and looking for love and feeling like you will never find it...I tell you find a friend...stop looking for love...let love find you...you know when we start thinking it will never come we settle for things that we would never expect our daughters to settle for...and if you are one of the woman like me...who interfered with the plan that God had for them...learn to live...stop worrying over what some nut case wants or thinks...You never know what you might get yourself into that you can't get out of....right now...I can say that
Sharing some family things...still have to upload some to share later.
Well I can't find them on my puter so will just share a scrape of Carlie...she got her hair cut the other day this is when it is long...will be taking some pix of her new style..she is loving it...she has not let me get her hair cut since she was 3 so it was time..and thank goodness she came around...it is much shorter than I am used to but cute..here is her long hair she is with her cousin they adore each other.
Well have a great day you all! I am off to clean the house.

I am sitting here waiting on Billy..yesterday he was late to school so he has detention today after school....since he may now be late to another day of school tonight I told him he can get to bed earlier and wake up earlier as well...I can tell you I am not a hit in his books right now...but..if he wants to be treated like he is growing up then he needs to act like it...and that means pushing yourself of a morning to get ready and be on time to his school....with the age 13 comes alot of drama folks...no kidding..it is like a stage in life that automatically gets pushed...all wanting to become their own person and with some really new cool looks...those same looks would get our faces slapped all the way to next week for some of us...kids...for sure he will be late again....now letting him know he will have detention again tomorrow cause I am not going to walk in every single day that he could be there on time and ask them to excuse him...nope...why...I get an extra hour of time before I start running for kids and he learns a life lesson...you have to be on time or you pay the price...I am not even going to stress on him any more he knows and now he can suffer yet another day after school.
Well am back home I think just maybe he might have made it...not sure if not...I told him well there is your other detention buddies...LOL..I said I think you made it only if you hurry to class...so we will see....maybe he will get sick of the after school thing and get going...it is getting too close for school to end....speaking of that...Spring is here at last...I checked the forecast and we will be having 70's or higher all week...yes yes YES!!!!!! I am so excited....yesterday...I took down the cabinet doors took off the old finish and re-did them...I hope they turn out okay...I am sure anything will be better than what they were...they were getting yucky...wish I could get new ones..but this will just have to do...told myself if I ruined them..it would mean I would have to save to get new ones sooner...LOL...I am going to go look for some new handles this week...may have to wait to get them next month depends on how much they cost..will see..I wish I had the money to knock every wall out and start all over in here...I think the best thing would be to get the heating and air conditioning out of the house to gain that space too....that would get me some laundry space as it is...my washer and dryer are part of my kitchen...but...thank you God that I have one at all.
Carlie is watching her morning toons then she will be getting dressed and heading out the door soon. I don't know if I will be finishing the cabinets tonight or not..it is supposed to rain tomorrow..but I started tasting that stuff last night late...yuck...and because I was bending over when I was putting on the gel stain when I went to stand back up...I almost couldn't...wow...my lower back is out of whack...lack of nookie I am sure...LMAO!!!! Well best get Carlie around then am going to check some mail and make a few sends...I was hoping to lay down for a bit but I think I am on a coffee charge so that wont happen...Oh...and cause Mark not caring what I think let his brother come stay here..he is sleeping in the RV and then comes in all day and bugs the hell out of me...I mean grow up go home take care of your kids or something...don't come here and take my kids food...grrrr...if he had let me know he knows I would have said no..this is the brother years ago I was talking about..I don't trust him with my daughter...she sleeps with me..and I plan just told her...stay away from him and if he touches you...you tell me and also tell him to leave you alone...I don't leave her side for a moment...grrrr..Well have a wonderful rest of the week..I am sure mine will suck for the most part but sure will be glad when he gets on a bus and takes his free loading ass else where!

Subject: Some Fun
Time: 12:22:50 AM CST

I got this from Linda Lost in my own thoughts , who got it from kathy who got it from Kelly who got it from Bernie, Sounds like fun :)
Who wants to play along...be quick there are only three winners!
Here are the rules:
1. ~Leave a comment on my blog that says you want to play. The First three folks to comment will get a gift from ME.
(Email me to Let me know how I can contact you.)
2. ~Do the same thing on your blog. The first three folks who leave a comment and commit to doing this on their blog, too, will get a surprise from YOU at a surprise time in the next 365 days.
On another note..my shoulder and collar bone has been killing me. My daughter is back at school..but also told me that she don't feel good whileshe is there and sometimes cries...she says she hurts...we all are just getting started on some type of stomach flu thing now. Great..your stomach hurts really bad and you feel sick to your stomach. Mark did get sick..which he also missed work after only being there for almost but not quite 3 weeks yet..and this is another good one...so am so hoping they don't let him go for missing..I told him he should go in and show them he isn't feeling good then maybe they would not mind so much? They just fired some guy for missing and he worked there before and went back there three months ago..so am keeping fingers crossed and praying feverishly that he don't get fired. I still need to do my taxes something I need to get on the ball and get done. Well as soon as Billy clothes are done it is off to bed for me...Remember if you are wanting to play along email me your info if you are one of the first three to reply and leave a comment saying you are playing so that the next in line will know what number they are. Have a good week all!
Thank you Phyllis for the great tag!

Subject: Gone are the Days
Time: 10:21:30 AM CST

Mood: Chillin'
Gone are the days when I was in the military and lived a military life. I like many others who didn't retire...I regret the fact....I still remember the feelings of being different...a different world...those around me in my day to day life or in my neighborhood...like me..were military..everyone else civilians. My ex and I surely didn't weigh out the pro's and con's first for sure...we seen the civilians making more doing the same thing he did...so pay was better for civilians verses the military...so we left with the idea of higher pay...however..we weren't thinking of the free health care we received...free dental and housing allowance or free housing the military offered with the bills paid...so off we left....For the first time we were then aware of the cost of living out there...and the benefits of the military far out shined the benefits of the real world as we see it. So many things that were taken for granted....now...I am in a civilian world....with struggles for a mother who is the main provider for her children...health care being a very big concern...education so they can live productive lives as adults. Each of us has our concerns when it comes to our lives. Each of us having things that will effect us one way or another....I would never not support our military men and women...some may think because I am do not support the war that I don't support them...no...I just see a war in Afghanistan being lost...a threat of Iran and North Korea more important...I feel the the Iraq people need to stand for what they believe...and that this war with the mixes of people existing forever...I don't understand what we think we would be able to change if it has been this way since the beginning of time...we had our Civil War...and the threat of terrorism will never be gone...sending our troops to Iraq will never end terrorism...evil has existed since the beginning of time and evil will always exist. If Iraq does not feel they need to stand up for what they believe because we will be there they never will.....Just my opinion. Will I ever stop praying for out troops not on your life...will I ever not think of them as hero's not on you life..I believe in our military...I support our military....but that does not mean that I don't want to see an end to this war.
I will never tell anyone else how to cast their vote...everyone must base the fact on what they feel is right for them...When I think of what is right for my kids...my family...now if my life were different...I might be thinking a whole different way...but as it stands...my life is my life...I am thankful for what Hillary Clinton has done for all working woman in the world...to be able to make a living for your kids and still be able to take care of them should they need you at home with out having to worry about losing your job...let's face it....in today's economy...most woman are having to help support the family. I personally witnessed the effects after 911....living in the air capital of the world...we really felt it. So many that lost their jobs..their homes....Yes...I seen it....my family and friends lived it. I also lived a fruitful life during the Clinton administration...and once again...that is my humble opinion of the matters. So no matter who you are...what you believe...All I say is...vote for who is best for you! And as always...I truly love each and every one of you! You are the most awesome friends I could ask for. Thanks for your opinions...and comments..as they all are always welcome...and your friendships mean the world to me..have the most wonderful day ever!!!!! I am off to meet my mom and have a super busy day...teachers meetings and Valentines party. Happy Valentines day!!!!

It's not just about the war in Iraq....It's about America as a whole. There are only 3 candidates running right now that will protect us from the tax cuts Bush has given to the rich....if you are not in the higher class...remember. Mc Cain is going to sign the tax cuts and make them permanent. The working class is in danger...we may not have Social Security to fall back on...If you have not registered to vote it is time....time to turn America around...who ever goes in office is going to have one hell of a job to do. Don't take the media's word...your on the net...do your own search...go to each candidates site...ask your questions...get your answers.
Snagged this some where.
So..why Hillary for me...cause honestly...I think it is the only chance we have to mend the many mistakes Bush has made. I still like Barack Obama I believe he will make a good President one day...just not now. for me that is...and I also like Mike Huckabee. But right now...I believe it is a now or never thing....I believe we have one chance to change things for the better...and after all my searching...I believe she is the best of all three...As for Mc Cain..never!!!!
