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.…

The truth can be hard to see

Originally posted 2014-05-27 14:15:09. Originally posted May 27 2014 Well it has been almost 2 weeks since my last post. I have been having an enormous amount of discomfort from whatever is going on inside of me. Today I go for an ultrasound. Thank goodness someone finally ordered something I needed. I have just been beyond ready to find out the problem. On the other hand ignorance may be bliss because if it is something…

Update to Cancer testing

Originally posted 2023-04-13 09:00:00. FINALLY!! So I went and had the cancer testing done to see if I am genetically susceptible to getting cancer. Now, this doesn’t cancel out my risk since it is a family history thing but it doesn’t mean I will get it either. This is just to see if I from a genetic standpoint. I had the test done by UNC Oncology. The test was just a blood draw and that…

Don’t remember part deuce

Originally posted 2023-03-26 18:17:06. So… I was talking to my daughter. Not sure how we got on the subject but it is what it is. We were talking some of the things that occurred while we were in Las Vegas and California. She was asking me if I remembered some of the crazy shit that happened in Vegas. Of course… I didn’t. I really wish I knew why I don’t remember things. Maybe it’s a…

Gingerbread Social

Originally posted 2020-01-19 23:10:55. Dusty was invited to a gingerbread party. It was originally planned in December but life got in the way. She decided to postpone it and it ended up two days ago. He thoroughly enjoyed himself. Granted it was mainly girls there but my friend made sure he felt included. He won 2nd place in the gingerbread house contest. He brought it home and started eating the house today. It is now…

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…
