VACATION!!!
Thank God I am on vacation this week. I am so tired. This past month has been so tiring and stressful.
Last week we got hit by Hurricane Ike...who knew..earthquakes and hurricanes..unreal!
My daughter and her husband finally got moved out into their new house.
My busy time with work is about to start and I'm not at all ready for it. I need to get mentally prepared before this year starts...otherwise I wont get through it!
Tonight I am just rambling...venting...not making sense to anyone <sigh>

Tired!
To say I am tired would be an understatement.....I had a certification in Tampa this past week for 2 days. It was absolutely gorgeous there. I was there for 4 days and only had to work 2 of them. On Saturday, the day I was coming home, my daughter called and told me she was going to the dr because her side was hurting. My flight home was not until 2:15. There is nothing worse than being far away from your child when they need you!
I was able to stay in contact with home until it was time for take off. My flight was delayed for about 20 minutes due to storms in the area and the plane couldn't take off yet. The 2 hour flight home was horrible with not being able to know what was going on at home. My flight was originally scheduled to land at 4:23, it didn't land until almost 5. The hospital she was in was 2 hours from the airport, the trip seem to take forever. God put wings on my car and I made the trip in less than an hour. I arrived at the hospital 5 minutes before she had to go into surgery for an emergency appendectomy.
I have not had time to rest much since getting home. I am tired. My next vacation is at the end of September. I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!

On Saturday I celebrate my 23rd wedding anniversary (I married young ok!!) I gotta say it has not all been happy years...I truly do envy these people I meet that have been together 40, 50, 60+ years (I work with the senior market) and are still in love.
A dear family friend of ours went to visit his wife of 60+ years a month or so ago at the nursing home she resided in and shot her in the head then shot himself becuase they didn't want to live without each other. How sad, but what a strong love. Rest in Peace Harry and Myla.
I think there are phases of love and people do fall in and out of love over time. I also believe that they can fall in love with other people during those phases. I tell my husband that I was madly in love with him the first year.....but only stayed the next 22 to spite his mother..:) (she said we would never last a month..lol) I swear that woman will out live me just for pure spite!
Anyway....23 years ..... 2 kids, 1 son in law, 1 soon to be daughter in law, 4 dogs, 1 cat and 15 goats later life isn't all bad....:)

I have the afghan for my new niece, Savanah, about a fourth of the way done. I am hoping to complete it before her birth. She is due August 18th. I will post a pic of it as soon as I get it done.
I am going on Vacation in August so it will be my luck that she will be born while I am in Florida. Normally births of babies aren't a big deal in my family, after all I do come from a family of 8 girls and 2 boys. My poor brothers.....they went through hell! Anyway, this baby will be a big deal as my sister is the youngest in the family and the last of us to get married. This is her first child.
My sister is 8 months younger than my daughter. I am hoping my daughter doesn't get any ideas of making me a grandmother anytime soon. She just got married this past March and is still in College.
I am way to young to be called Grandma!

It has been a while since I have crocheted. I have had quite a bit going on in life and just haven't had the desire to work on anything. I have to get an afghan done in a month for my new niece but haven't been able to force myself to work on it.
This year hasn't been the greatest year for me. In January, I had to have some surgery that I wasn't looking forward to. In the courses leading up to that surgery, I was feeling the need to talk to a certain friend, only to find that friend avoiding me for whatever reason. In my needy state, I became upset.
In March my daughter got married, we had a major snow storm and after months of careful planning the wedding just did not go over as planned. We begged her to reschedule the date due to the storm but because my uncle flew in from Florida, she refused. I guess something deep inside her told her that would be the one and only time she would ever meet him. Again, I needed to talk to this friend, he wasnt there. I sent him what I had written about my daughters wedding, but he deleted it. I was hurt.
I wrote something on my blog in anger intending to get frustration, hurt and anger off my mind which I often do, then delete. I most normally write everything in my diary as I am a very private person. But when I am really hurt or upset to the point that I want to hurt someone back in the heat of the moment, I will do it in a public display (my blog), because it gives me a release of my anger, hurt and frustration. I delete it quickly before anyone hopefully has a chance to read it, usually within the day or so. Unfortunately the last time I wrote in anger on here before I could delete, the person did read it, for some odd reason he read my blog. Regardless, I wrote it, I will pay the cost I am not making excuses. For the public writing I am sorry. I deserve the punishment.
In May, I got a call telling me that my uncle was sick and had been admitted into the hospital. 4 days later I was told he was in a coma. 2 days later I was told I needed to come to Florida. A week later I received another call saying he was gone. Again, I made the trip to Florida, this time for his funeral.
On Tuesday night, I emailed my old friend and asked him if we could talk. This time, for the first time that he has ever just pushed me away (and God knows there has been plenty of times) he said we had nothing to talk about. This time he at least I know why he wouldnt talk to me. For that I am thankful. All the other times in the past I was left wondering what I did, he would always tell me "it is not you" this time he told me what I had done. Thank you to him. I can no longer turn to him when I have something on my mind, We will no longer have our flirty little chats, No longer will he inspire my ditzy little poems or my monster crochet projects , I no longer have him to laugh with till wee hours of the mornng, I no longer have you Yogi and for this my heart truly does feel an emptiness, but I gotta say, with everything I have been through and the loved ones I have lost, I am sure I will get through this ok.
