Con Artist
Posted 1/21/2008 8:57:24 PM
Went to the Dr today...
I don't have to go back until Thursday....
I begged him not to make me go today so I wouldn't have to spend mine and my daughters birthday in the hospital....I'm such a con artist!!..LOL
I think I'm doing much better and just two more days might make a big difference, and I may not have to go at all.....so there you have it, Granny wins again, at least until Thursday!

Two Day...an Update
Posted 1/17/2008 5:40:03 PM
Okay, I went to the Doc. He isn't happy and neither am I.
This is a quote....
"Here's the deal Rita, I'm gonna give you a little shot today...up your meds some, and send you home to rest for a couple of days....we'll see how you are in a couple of days. If you haven't improved, we'll say 90% by Saturday, I want you in the clinic here or in the ER and they'll call me. We'll go from there".
Well, I know what that means. That means the same thing it did the last time, back to the hospital, more shots, more IVs and more of the same old, same old. He doesn't think I understand. Oh, but I do, all too well.
What he doesn't understand is that I WILL be better by Saturday.
So, I am housebound until Saturday. Guess you guys will be seeing a lot of me....LOL
I called my sister and gave her the job of taking care of Mom.
Wish me luck and say a prayer. I'm stubborn. No big deal.

I May or May Not
Posted 1/17/2008 11:16:20 AM
I'm going to the see the Doc in about 2 hrs...
Depending on my report, I may or may not sign on for a while. I'm really down right now. Things are not going real well lately and I'm thinking I'm not going to like what I hear. I've had some reprive from meds and treatments for the past few months and I've enjoyed that. I think all that is about to come to an end. I usually get in a stinky mood when I have to start all this over again, you'll forgive me please if I don't check in for a while.
It's nothing anyone on NB did or didn't do. It's me. I'll be in one of my dark moods and I'll get over it. It just takes me a while.
Then again, I may be concerned for nothing. It may be something entirely different and he'll give me a magic pill and fix everything within a week or two.
Say a prayer for me.
Right now, I'm just not very happy.

I'm Back...but catching up
Posted 1/13/2008 7:06:14 PM
Well, things have calmed down around here. My neighbor's hubby came home in time for the funeral. He's here now to help her through things and I'm thankful for that. She really isn't taking things very well.
I on the other hand have neglected things around my house and need to catch up on things.
I also realized at the funeral that my friends father was the same age as my hubby. That really hits home.
Far too young to go. Makes me want to hold him even closer and appreciate him even more.
We should all realize that time is so unpredictable. Love those close to us, because we never know when they may be snatched away from us.

I'll be busy for the next few days so may not be around...
My neighbor's Dad passed unexpectedly today. He was 62 yrs old and had a sudden heart attack.
Teresa's husband is out of town right now and until he gets home, I'll be helping her out with her Mom and sticking around her house while she is out.
So I'll see you when things have settled a bit.
Love and ((((HUGS))))

LOTUS...THIS IS WHAT MY NAME MEANS...CAN THIS REALLY BE ME?
Posted 1/8/2008 12:15:48 PM
You are wild, crazy and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definately are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.
You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited...which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.
You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. Your're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you in trouble.
You are usually best at everything...you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and agressive.
You have a "Type A" personality.
Okay, I agree with some of this, because when I worked at WPAFB, we actually took a workshop for a week and had to take a personality test...guess who was the biggest extrovert in the 60 plus office I worked in..LOL
BUT....I DON'T like to travel, and I don't start a lot of projects....I do however like to get a project done quickly, which is why I don't start a lot of them, because it drives me crazy to leave something unfinished...does that go along with a Type A personality?
Oh well, yeah, I tend to get into trouble and hubby will tell you I'm agressive, opinionated and I would argue with the devil, except the devil won't argue with me cause he's afraid he would lose, so he don't come around anymore.
This was kind of fun lotus, thanks for giving me the chance to do it.

35 Years ago Today
Posted 1/3/2008 8:01:04 PM
I was late signing on to NB today....I was busy preparing a celebration dinner for two of my favorite people in the world....
35 Years ago today I received the first of many wonderful gifts from God I would receive in my life....
My son, Richard was born. 7lbs 9oz, bald, blue eyes as cystal blue as the ocean. 35 yrs later he's bald and still has his Grandfather's crystal blue eyes and is my pride and joy along with his sister, who will also have a birthday this month.
Tomorrow, will my TT's 8th Birthday....she was born on the 1 yr anniversary of my sister, Sandra's death....Red hair, brown eyes, an exact replica of my Sandra. God sure knew how to help me through that day. TT has been a bright and shining star for me since her birth.
I am so very blessed....

I'M DROWNING
Posted 12/28/2007 11:44:33 PM
Will is complaining about the snow....I'm complaining about the RAIN!!! Rain everyday for three days! At this rate I'll need a boat to get to the mailbox tomorrow..
I have an eye infection..stupid doctor gave me a prescription for an ointment...I get to the drugstore, the pharmacist says "Rita, you do know this is an ointment that you have to put in your eyes don't you"? "Well, no I didn't, 'cause I can't put an ointment in my eyes, I have lens implants". OK, so then we have to call the doctor, he has gone home for the day, I'm standing there, half blind, red eyes running stuff from 'em like there is no tomorrow, I'm soaking wet, 'cause IT'S RAINING and my umbrella is in the garage at home, I'm not smart enough to put it in the car! I get out my cell phone, call doc at home, he OK's the eye drops instead. By this time I'm pissed, really pissed!! 90 minutes later I have my eyedrops...how long can it take to get a bottle of eyedrops off the shelf and stick a label on it and hand it to a customer? 90 minutes, that's how freaking long!!!!!!!!!!
My eyes are swollen, my head hurts, I'm wet, I am not a happy camper!! I'm sure if the gates of hell opened up right now, it would be wet there too!
What a way to end a year! No parties for me...unless it's a masquarade party...these eyes would scare anyone to death if they looked at 'em right now.
There's only one thing right now that would really make my blood boil more! SNOW!!

THE MEMORY BOX
Posted 12/12/2007 9:48:28 PM
I recently attended a funeral of a dear friend...his nephew spoke and as he spoke he opened a small wooden box he called his memory box. From this box he pulled a picture. A wedding picture, then he pulled a note, from an old friend of his uncle, another note, yet another note....the list went on....I never heard such an amazing eulogy in my life. As I sat there listening, I thought how wonderful that this memory box was created, how wonderful that my dear friend had the forsight to keep these notes and keepsakes in his memory box. How tender and touching of his nephew to bring these things to share with us, because he knew it would comfort us. It did bring us comfort, because we all knew that our friend cared enough about us to keep these little memories of us and tuck them away in his memory box. He kept a part of our friendship with him always tucked away in that box. We all loved him and knew he was special, now I know why he was so special. I don't think I've ever been so touched in my life as I was at the funeral of my dear Mr. Bill.
Now, I have started a memory box...in it I'll keep special memories of my friends. A note that I receive that touches my heart, a picture that makes me smile, a dried up dandelion flower that my grandchild picks for me. All the special things that touch me and wouldn't really mean anything to anyone else, but they will mean something,someday to those I love. Yes, I'll fill my Memory Box with love.
Ask yourself a question, What would you put in your memory box?

CHRISTMAS COMEDY & PARADES
Posted 12/10/2007 8:50:32 AM
The weekend was a busy one...I was supposed to be at Matt's game at 10:00 a.m. I didn't make it because I thought it was at 11:00. I wondered why Grandpa left an hour early...Matt and Will spent the night with us Friday night and he was taking them home to get changed for the game, so being the ditz that I am, I thought he was just going to visit with our son for a while before the game. I passed them leaving the school as I was going. So I turned around, met them at my son's house and found out I missed the game. We hung out there until time for the Christmas Parade. My son lives in a small town called Breman...he was this years Grand Marshal of the Christmas Parade. So after the car picked him and his family up for the parade, hubby and I went up to Pops (his wife's grandfather) to watch the parade. Pop lives on Main St. So we had an excellant place to watch. The kids thought they were something getting to ride in the parade and having police escort with sirens going. They all wore red with Santa hats and were sooooo cute!
After the parade I left for Drama Team practice. Our Drama team is doing the Christmas play at church this year. Lord help me, I can't seem to get this together. We spent most of the practice constructing costumes. We were successful at this. I wrote and am directing this years play. It is based on somewhat on what happened with Ebenezer Scrooge, only Jesus will be the one to come and take a small group of children through the town of Bethleham and teach them the true meaning of Christmas. The opening scene is one of two children running in to their Dad and asking why there are no presents under the Christmas tree and the Dad begins to tell them about the birth of Christ. Some of the neighborhood kids come in and as he reads and tells them the story they all fall asleep and Jesus appears...A spotlight highlights different scenes to the story along with Christmas music and the narrative to the story....BUT we have one little guy Austin, who just wants to tell the story himself...I think Austin might have to have his mouth taped shut for the Play!!!
During practice we all fell apart when Donald the the 19 yr old who is playing the part of the father, jumped up and said, "I WANT A DIFFERENT CO-STAR, I'M GOING TO MY TRAILER"!!!! Austin just kept saying, "I know the real meaning of Christmas!! Why are we doing this"? Mind you, Austin is 4 yrs old!!!
We are still going to use Austin somewhere, I'm just not sure where, his parents graciously brought him to practice when we announced that we needed some little ones to play the part of the neighborhood children....I'm not sure where we're going to put him though...LOL
Maybe we'll wrap him up and put him under the tree!!
IF we can get it together, it will be beautiful...the ending will be done entirely with black lights. After the scenes are all complete, the children will all wake up and talk about the wierd dream they had about Jesus taking them on a tour of the place he was born and how strange it was that they all had the same dream....then the lights will go out and with black lights, my Will and Tori will do Behold the Lamb against a black background, they'll be wearing, white hats, white socks, and white gloves....they'll do this using sign language and dancing. It's a powerful song about the birth of christ being born into sin so we may live again.
We have until the 23rd to get it right.....I just have to figure out what to do with Austin....he's such a doll....I'm sure I can put him in there somewhere.
Wish me luck!

The weekend was a busy one...I was supposed to be at Matt's game at 10:00 a.m. I didn't make it because I thought it was at 11:00. I wondered why Grandpa left an hour early...Matt and Will spent the night with us Friday night and he was taking them home to get changed for the game, so being the ditz that I am, I thought he was just going to visit with our son for a while before the game. I passed them leaving the school as I was going. So I turned around, met them at my son's house and found out I missed the game. We hung out there until time for the Christmas Parade. My son lives in a small town called Breman...he was this years Grand Marshal of the Christmas Parade. So after the car picked him and his family up for the parade, hubby and I went up to Pops (his wife's grandfather) to watch the parade. Pop lives on Main St. So we had an excellant place to watch. The kids thought they were something getting to ride in the parade and having police escort with sirens going. They all wore red with Santa hats and were sooooo cute!
After the parade I left for Drama Team practice. Our Drama team is doing the Christmas play at church this year. Lord help me, I can't seem to get this together. We spent most of the practice constructing costumes. We were successful at this. I wrote and am directing this years play. It is based on somewhat on what happened with Ebenezer Scrooge, only Jesus will be the one to come and take a small group of children through the town of Bethleham and teach them the true meaning of Christmas. The opening scene is one of two children running in to their Dad and asking why there are no presents under the Christmas tree and the Dad begins to tell them about the birth of Christ. Some of the neighborhood kids come in and as he reads and tells them the story they all fall asleep and Jesus appears...A spotlight highlights different scenes to the story along with Christmas music and the narrative to the story....BUT we have one little guy Austin, who just wants to tell the story himself...I think Austin might have to have his mouth taped shut for the Play!!!
During practice we all fell apart when Donald the the 19 yr old who is playing the part of the father, jumped up and said, "I WANT A DIFFERENT CO-STAR, I'M GOING TO MY TRAILER"!!!! Austin just kept saying, "I know the real meaning of Christmas!! Why are we doing this"? Mind you, Austin is 4 yrs old!!!
We are still going to use Austin somewhere, I'm just not sure where, his parents graciously brought him to practice when we announced that we needed some little ones to play the part of the neighborhood children....I'm not sure where we're going to put him though...LOL

Bah-Humbug!!

OK..so I don't have all my Christmas shopping done. Nowhere near done. That's not a problem. I'll get to it.
Don't have everything I need for Christmas cookies and candy that I make for all the neighbors yet...I'll get to it.
My back has done a number on me, it's getting better, I'm almost back to normal..IF I EVER WAS NORMAL, there are some who would call that into question.
BUT, today I got got an invitation in the mail that now hubby and I are disagreeing on and I want to just smack him accross the face with it, but I can't!! Want to, but I can't.
Mr and Mrs "Stick in the Mud" request our presence at their Holiday Open House on Dec 16th for good cheer and good friends.
I don't even like these people. My husband does, I don't!! They just want to show off their new 2.5 million dollar home on the golf course. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy they could have a home like this, it would be even better if they were the type of people who deserved this type of home. They are the most arragont people I've ever known. I don't feel like getting dressed up and making nice with a bunch of snobby, drunk political stick in the muds...that's all I could think of to call them without using some really bad words.
We all have our holiday get togethers and we invite them..our homes are very comfortable and very nice. A lot of people would love to have homes like ours. Mr and Mrs never come to our get togethers...always have an excuse. I really want to make up an excuse not to go to theirs. But it would be a lie and hubby just won't let me do that!! Besides, he likes this guy...go figure!!
There isn't any warmth in their home. They never had kids. Some of the other wives called. They don't want to go either, but good ole golfing buddies incorporated are all for it.
So, I'll put on my smile, put on my fancy dress and go listen to a bunch of blithering idiots and come home with a headache....that is unless my back stays really bad for another 11 days!!

Profile Pic for Unie and No New Boyfriend
Posted 11/30/2007 9:28:25 AM
OK Unie, here's a new profile pic of me with my brown hair....I like it....sorry Brian, I know you like redheads, but I've been one all my life and I like this new color. Although now my daughter wants me to go have blonde streaks put in it. Now, I'm not bored enough yet to get that adventurous and I don't know when hubby is going to go play golf again, so that may have to wait for a while...LOL
As for getting a boyfriend on the side to occupy my time, well, I figure it took me 39 years to train hubby to put up with all my little crazy quirks and I know as Mistletoe said, he calls me "God"...LOL, so I don't think I'll be doing that!! There probably isn't another man in the world who would give me the reigns of freedom that this man has given me in my life. So yeah, I think I'll be "Standing by my man", so to speak.
So whattaya think? Like my new brown hair? If you don't, it's okay...I like it. Still don't know if hubby likes it or not, he didn't say, he just said what he said and shook his head...LOL, but then again, he never does complain about what I do, he just complains 'cause he can't trust me to be alone!!

For My NewBlog Family (PLEASE READ)
Posted 11/16/2007 10:03:26 AM
Seldom do we bloggers find a website where we can blog and meet people who touch our lives the we have here on Newblog....
This morning I logged on and read Gary's blog about his anniversary here at NB. Of course he said something about writing paragraphs and saying nothing, but to those of us who love him, he was saying "something". We all look forward to reading what Gary has to say. Just as we look forward to reading what everyone has to say.
We've grown into a family. We pray together when someone asks for prayer. We've all stood anxiously by as Will (Devildog) goes through another hospital stay and rejoiced when he comes home. We waited for word when Brian was hospitalized a few weeks ago and when bleu was hospitalized. We weeped when Badjuju and Bridget lost their baby and rejoiced at the news that they were blessed with another pregnancy.
We've grounded JK and dared him blog so he could keep his grades up. We've prayed with Cindi during her crisis with her son and been so thankful that things worked out for her family.
My NB friends gave me the greatest support during the year that my son was in Iraq...so many prayers were sent up. Unie never lets us down on prayers. We've only to look at our friends list to see how much we're loved, our comment section to see how many hugs we get everyday. Mistletoe NEVER lets any of down and lotus races me everyday to get to my first! (I've got to get better running shoes..LOL) Goose sees only the positive in all of us....Figgy keeps us straight! Ballz gives us humor and a reality check.Beth reminds us that we're all human.Rainbow is just that, a rainbow in our lives....and the new family members just keep coming.
I could go on, I know I didn't mention everyone, but you know who you are, you're all out there...The fact is, we've all become a family. We all check in each day to find out how the other one is doing. We care about each other. We can have our MySpace pages, our "Other" blogging sites, but this is our "Family Site" where we can complain about our jobs, ask for prayers, talk about our problems and we're not judged for any of it.
I don't even remember how I found this site, but I'm glad I did. I'm even happier that I found the wonderful people that I found here. Because all of you are so dear to me.

Dirty Old Woman!!

Unie cleans cabinets...
Gary even cleans closets....
Oh yeah, Unie even cleans windows and blinds for petes sake!!!
I need a maid!!
I hate housework...but I do it, it just takes reading about a single man like Gary doing all that housework and then reading about Unie climbing up on countertops and cleaning the tops of her cabinets and then cleaning blinds and windows and in November no less!!
I'm a dirty old woman! I need to get motivated and I think I just did!!
I'll be cleaning for a while, but first I think I'll have a cup of coffee.

Last night was a flurry (is that a word?) of Drama Team performances, Football Banquets and Basketball games. Of course I couldn't be in three places at one time having a migraine headache, I decided I would forego all and let someone else have all the fun.
My daughter fullfilled my duties and hers as Director of the Drama Team at the Pathway of Hope Banquet where our Drama Team performed. She was beaming with pride when she returned home. Giving me all the details of their performance. With over 100 people in attendance, she boasted about how the Team got a standing ovation and the many kudos they received about their performance. I'm very proud of them. They are such a hard working group of young teens. Dedicated to their God and their craft. I'm so looking forward to their competition on December 1.
Will's Football banquet was last night. He received two trophies! The one he is most proud of is the Trophy for "Most Improved Player". Not bad for the kid who came in and wanted to quit because, and I quote, "Granny, they're going to kill me".LOL His Dad took him to the banquet and was so proud of him. Now Will is looking forward to the next football season. For now, he will play basketball.
Grandpa took Matt to his Basketball game....Matt scored 8 points. This was a great accomplishment for Matt. He is our "Special" little man. We work very hard to make him feel like he is just like all the other kids. He is getting leveled out on his meds and since he has gone to live with his Dad, he has come a long way. Of course, Grandpa was was walking on air when he came in and was telling me what a "Great Game" Matt had.
So you might know, I missed it all...but I was there in spirit, and I am soooo proud of all my little munchkins!
So that's alright....I'll just take pride in the fact that my babies are all gonna be ok.

We got our green light for our Jr Drama Team! Is that a good thing? Well, yeah I guess it is. Yes, it definately is a good thing. I'm excited, I'm happy and at the same time, I think I must be out of my mind. I can barely find the time to do all the things I have to do with taking care of my Mom and doing the practices I'm doing with the Senior team and now I'm taking on a Jr team. What on God's Green Earth are you thinking Rita? OK, I'm thinking we've got these little 6-12 yr old kids that have all this energy and they're so excited about being able to form this group and do the things they see the bigger kids doing. Now comes my BIG QUESTION!! Can I corral that energy? Can I keep their attention long enough to teach them a drama? To teach them a dance? My daughter will be teaching them a lot of the routines. OK, she's a cheerleading advisor for the elementary school, she has a LOT of patience with little ones. I'm a grandmother, I can handle this, I know I can. I'll just do two hours with the teens on Saturdays and two hours with the little ones. Piece of cake! OH DEAR LORD HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Cross of Freedom
Posted 10/21/2007 10:43:31 PM
I've given a lot of thought lately to the reasons why some of us feel so inadequate sometimes. I feel inadequate when I fail to help someone when I want so badly to reach out to them and I feel I just can't find the right words. I can't find the right scripture. There was a time when my son was struggling so desperately during his divorce and I felt like such a failure because he wanted the answers to "When will it stop hurting"? I didn't have the answers. No magic words, no magic hugs. The only thing I could do was be there to listen and try to hold onto him to keep him sinking into the darkness and despair of drugs and alcohol. His miracle happened in one visit to church with me, with one word from a visiting evangelist who wasn't even scheduled to be there that night. A man sent by God an answer to my many prayers. That seems like an eternity since that night and my son nor I have ever looked back. He has gone on to remarry and now through the grace of God has continued his military career, remarried, has custody of his sons and is happier than he has ever been.
I watched my daughter go through a painful divorce and had no answers there. Today, God has brought her happiness.
I have the teens from my Drama Team come to me with their problems and I want so desperately to give them the right answers. I search the scriptures with them, pray with them.
It's so easy to blame ourselves for our problems and in the end, we all have to realize that we are human. We were all created by God. Created equal in his eyes. Humans make mistakes. There was but one perfect being on this earth and he died on the Cross for us. He died on the cross, so that we could be forgiven for those mistakes. All we have to do is ask recognize that is our Lord and Saviour.
I always feel so much better after I've had a long talk with him. He's the only one I can talk to that I KNOW REALLY LISTENS TO ME.
AND THAT SETS ME FREE!

GET THESE THOUGHTS OUTTA MY HEAD!!!!!!!!
Posted 10/17/2007 8:31:42 AM
I have to be a glutton for punishment!!
I'm crazy, I know it. In every sense of the word I'm crazy!!!
Our pastor preaches that you go where your heart leads you. I've done that. He says if your heart leads you to a ministry, you should do it. I DID THAT. I work with our teens at church. I do the Drama and Dance Team. I put in long hard hours of practice with them. I give up my Saturdays to spend with them. I go to other churches, counties, states, you name it, I'm there! We're hosting competitions, we're doing competitions. We're out there doing performances at civic events. This is a lot of hard work!
Then why, would someone please tell me why for the love of God, when I am sitting in church looking around at all these little pre-teen faces in church, would I keep getting the urge to start a Jr-Drama and Dance Team?
The Pastor keeps preaching "some of you have a deeper calling to your ministries and you're fighting it". Why doesn't he just SHUT UP!!!
I talked to my daughter the other day, she helps me with the team. I told her my idea and she said "Oh Mom! What a wonderful idea, let's do it"!! Okay, not exactly what I thought she would say.....so, tonight, after church, I guess I'll approach the pastor with my "brillant" idea and see what he thinks. I'll have to get the church's approval....maybe they won't think it's such a good idea. Maybe then this little voice in my head and my heart will "SHUT UP".

An Open Letter to Exes
Posted 10/14/2007 9:10:12 AM
Dear Ex,
Why is it that when a divorce happens, some ex-spouses think they have the right to stay around in the ex-spouses life and snoop?
Is it because they are so insecure that they can't let go?
They are so evil that they just want to make that persons life miserable?
Granted, if you have you have children together, you are tied together for life...or at least until those children are adults. However, there is absolutely no reason to set a bad, ugly example for those children.
Do you really want those children to know that you're calling and harrassing Mommy on the phone about something that is NONE of your business? You aren't her husband anymore...you chose your own path in life, LIVE WITH IT!! The old saying "Have your cake and eat it too" just doesn't apply. You can't have it both ways. You can't live your life the way you want and expect an ex to sit around and wait for you to "Grow Up".
In order for your children to grown up mentally and physically healthy, they have to have a happy, healthy Mom. Mom can't be happy unless Dad lets her lead a happy life. She can't be happy when she is constantly being harrassed by an ex-husband who likes to drink and get his kicks from watching every detail of Mom's life and then calling to harrass her.
Get a life of your own. Concentrate on doing what's right for your children. Concentrate on letting go and moving forward with your own life. The past is behind all of us. None of us can go back and change one thing. What we can do is craft our future.
We can craft our future into something that will bring us more happiness than we ever imagined.
To live in the past only brings defeat. To live in the future brings victory.
Signed
Been there-Done that
