When one door slams in your face you can’t wait until another opens

Originally posted 2014-05-05 14:03:04. OK, this post will be relevant to some…others not so much. My husband was in the Marine Corps, loved his job, but he wasn’t born a stick figure. There are some people who just are “built” bigger than others. He did his job and did it well. He just needed more exercise than some. So when your so-called “leaders” are more inclined to not PT (exercise) then it hurts others. He didn’t…

Worried Tears

Originally posted 2020-01-13 18:00:01. I have back surgery in the morning. 5:30am check-in. I could use your prayers. This is my 25th (or 26th I lost count) surgery and I am more nervous about this one than any of them.

As you can see it wasn’t a horrible…

Movie Monday

Originally posted 2019-01-07 13:00:59. Gilbert Grape (Depp) lives in Endora, a place where nothing much happens. The only times the police had something to do is when Gilbert’s autistic brother Arnie (DiCaprio) tries to climb up on the watertower nearby. Taking care of Arnie is mostly Gilbert’s task which can be pretty demanding, at least while you are working at the local grocery store. Then one day Becky (Lewis) and her grandmother passes through Endora…

Don’t get me wrong my son does well when he vaccums but when I have to hear him for over 2 hours and he does areas repeatedly it will give you a headache. This thing is a game changer, a life changer! and it sounds like it is taking off when it empties the bin 😂😂…
