All Buttered Up

Originally posted 2023-05-05 10:00:00. Yesterday was one of those days that you just want it to hurry up and be over. I took Chewy out so many times I ended up with over 10,000 steps being accumulated. I knew he needed to poop but every time I took him out something distracted him and then he seemed to forget he had to poop. Was yesterday a full moon or something? Or was it something in…

Sweet difficulties

This past few weeks have been an absolute tollercoaster of epic proportions. From happy to sad from mad to sad then excited to absolutely amazing then by the end of it all… numbing. We have been going back and forth to my mom’s house to clear everything out. It’s being sold, even though I don’t really want it to be, but there are other people involved, so I don’t hold the sole decision. My stepfather…

And I can’t ask Why me?

Originally posted 2014-06-30 01:51:25. You know that age old saying, don’t ask why me? Well at least that is what I believed …that was something you just didn’t do. Even if you went through a crap ton of stuff you just didn’t ask why me. I don’t know about you but sometimes I sit back in my head (somewhere in that mass of echoing space that I call my mind) and still wonder why it…

This is awesome!

Originally posted 2023-04-25 11:51:39. For folks like Dusty and myself this can be a game changer. I couldn’t tell you how many times we have had to take antibiotics. Probably TOO MANY. Even know I have to take them numerous times a year either from my sinuses or from effects of hidradenitis suppurativa. Always having to use the hibiclens – the antimicrobial body wash i spoke about in this post. http://www.wral.com/duke-using-new-test-to-detect-bacterial-infections-in-1-hour/16830078/

No CPR?

Originally posted 2023-04-24 10:43:11. I dropped Chewy off this morning for his ACL surgery. I have never had someone ask me if they have any problems during surgery did we want them to attempt CPR. Uhhhh. There are people that say no? I mean, the money you are spending to get the dog’s leg fixed and then you don’t want to attempt CPR? I mean, God forbit anything like that happens but yes, by all…

Our lives are about to change

Originally posted 2014-06-13 22:43:09. We are at the end of one chapter of our lives. Our son graduated last year and now our daughter graduates tomorrow, June 14 2014. Every time I think about it I end up in tears, not necessarily sad tears, I think they are a mixture of emotions. From where we started to where we are now I thought things would have never been the way they are now. I have…

A passion for helping others

Originally posted 2014-08-11 01:49:08. Here it is on a Sunday evening and I am sitting here watching my husband sleep. Which I am ok with. He is trying to struggle with his current job to try to transition from years in the Marine Corps to now transition to driving CDL (commercial driving) for a living. I recently had a big explosion of feelings return to me after speaking to my biological father on the phone.…
