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…

Good grief

Originally posted 2019-01-10 16:42:39. Good grief, I had the roofers, the computer/IT guy, here. Trying to keep dogs contained since I couldn’t let them outside because of the roofers. Then 2 phones ringing. Then… the roofers ring the door. Then the pharmacy delivers medicine. Shall I go on with my day? Oh wait it’s not over yet it’s only 4:30pm. If you’d like to help our mailing address is Carter Family PO Box 533 Richlands…

Twelve to Twenty-Four

Originally posted 2023-01-29 10:30:39. I don’t know if I should chalk it up to stroke brain or just aging brain. Either way it is something my dogs will likely never forget. Our day started like any other… nothing special. I had to take my Kia to the dealership for some maintenance so we needed to get up and get ready so James could pick me up from the dealer. Had to be there at 8am…

Multiple times… It never ”beeped” like it is supposed to. So, I cautiously walk over to the truck to see if someone was in it or what the deal was. I get to the other side of the truck and don’t see anyone. My light wasn’t on in the…

Repeated repairs

How many times have I tried repairing these dang blinds. I have a love hate relationship with them. We have tried using duct tape to rig it enough for it to stay but it would always fall.

I mean why?

The town we live decided to start being an ass not too long ago for some reason. They either don’t like interracial couples, want my house and my bff’s house, are complete dicks, or I don’t know what else. They have put a “tow warning ” sticker on 3 vehicles in our yard. One is our daughter’s boyfriend’s car, one is my husband’s dually (truck that caught of fire lol), and other is the antique…

Busy Busy Busy

Originally posted 2019-04-29 18:27:58. This week is the start of more Hurricane Florence damage repair. FINALLY! Bittersweet for sure. Tylenol and ibuprofen will be my friends even more than normal as this will kick my allergies into high gear. BUT they will likely be here all week. Which means the dogs will have to be outside…ALOT. Good thing we bought a kennel from Tractor Supply along with a roof cover and all-weather panels (we still…
