Almost My Birthday

Well, it is almost my birthday. 35 years on Sunday. Not sure how I feel about this. I know that it's just a number, but it's higher than it used to be! lol!

Life has been eventful over the past two months. Justin's grandma decided that she had enough of fighting cancer and decided she wanted to come home to die. So that's what happened. She was home for a little over a week, we nursed her and made her as comfy as possible...and then she died. :( I know that she is with Jesus, but I miss her. My natural grandmothers died when I was young, I only have vague memories of my dad's mother...so Grandma Judi really was like a grammy to me. I'm glad that the animosity that was present when Justin and I first got together has disappeared, because I'd never have been able to get to know her at all otherwise.

With Justin not having a job, and his unemployment being patchy at first, we fell way behind in rent and they wanted to evict us. Justin's parents had just gotten a check of a large sum from the gas company leasing their land, so they actually catch us up and paid the trailor off so all we have to do is lot rent. of course, we need to pay them back...but they're willing to cut us more slack than the trailor park owners had been. And yes, I'm not sure how I feel about that either! lol! I've read to many letters in Dear Abby about these kind of situations going back. :/ We're supposed to end up having something put in writing, but it hasn't happened yet. I'd like to have a lwayer look it over before I sign it, but to be honest I'm a little intimidated to ask...maybe it I explain that it's not them I don't trust but the situation and I just want to make sure that I'm taken care of and don't get screwed.

I've written a couple of poems recently, but of course I have nothing with my so I can't post them at all! :( We haven't had phone or internet for a while now, another bill we fell behind in and need to catch up. Siiiiiiiiiiigh. Justin can apply back at Cargil in another couple of months and it so cannot come fast enough!

I've also been working on a free write for an old story idea. Maybe I'll be able to actually write it...??? idk, but it feels great to be writing, even if it's just a partial scene. Actually, it might be the end of the book...or close to it. It's been fun.

We've got 2 family reunions this weekend. One on his side and then one on my side on Sunday. Busy busy busy! Ok, guess I'd better figure out what to take huh? lol

Ponderisms

This comes from an email from one of my many sisters. Some are just toooo funny!!! PONDERISMS 1.) I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes. 2.) Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. 3.) The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. 4.) Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway. 5.) There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead. 6.) Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. 7.) Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. 8.) The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. 9.) Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. 10.) Have you noticed since everyone has a ca...

Too Soon

"I spoke too soon" Well....sort of. Here's a brief rundown of my first 'drop off run' - u know, taking the kids home. I get all the kids on the bus, knowing that one girl needs to go to daycare, I automatically head for the one she went to last year...as I pull up, she says, "I don't go there anymore...I go to the new daycare..." Uh-oh. Now, this little girls a little more mature than the rest, so I believe her. I tried calling the other driver on the handheld radio to see if he was still at the center...no answer....tried calling the boss...no answer...I went back to the Center...no one could see the bus becuase of the ambulance, so no one could come out. So I cart the girl around the entire hour long route.........at the first stop, I sent a message through the mother to the Center....and then there was a bee on the bus!!!! I killed it, superhero that I am. One girl wants to "swing from the chandleirs"...if the bus had them. Oh m...
