Crappy Day

Hello my internet friends....Debbie Downer here! More of a vent than anything else......When I opened my eyeballs this morning, my day went to hell.
I got up and got ready for work.... my hair wouldn't fix, felt like crap, my clothes didn't dry, my kids wouldn't cooperate, and I was running late. I finally hurried everyone up and we were out the door by 6:10am. As I was going out the door my pups were laying on the front porch sound asleep. We got in the car which was 10 feet from the front porch and I put it in reverse. Well I hear a yelp....A LOUD YELP. I hit the favorite dog out of the 3 (whos suppose to be asleep on the front porch). I didn't run over him but I bumped him. I ran back to get my hubby to go check on the pup so I could go on. We were late without all of this.
I dropped the kids off at the bus stops and went on to work.
Needless to say, the dog has no broken bones but he has intestine damage and he's bleeding in his lungs. Hubby took him to the vet where they don't expect him to make it. I feel guilty, angry that I hurt the kids and hubby, and I feel stupid cause that dog was asleep before I walked that 10 feet to the car.
I stopped by the vet when I got off of work....I held the little guy, felt bad that I caused him to be suffering. He forgave me....he buried his head in my chest and kept wanting his ears scratched. Anyway, tomorrow I hope to know where we stand. If he makes it then he's going to be one spoiled little dog especially by me. I've never been that crazy about this dog yet I sent my family on a 8 hour drive to pick him up and sent some mega $$$ after finding him online.

Then the second phone call came in that my 19 yr old niece was rushed to the hospital with her heart. She has advanced stages of heart disease. Things aren't looking too great for her. Another blow to my crappy day. God I hope you give these doctors that knowledge to treat her and give her life. I've always been crazy about this girl! She was the little flower girl when I married my husband. I've watched her grow up since she was 4.

I'm personally not afraid of death but fearing death in others horrifies me. Once death occurs, you can never get back anything or make anything right again.
I struggle with this subject because we have jackasses who molest kids in prison and they'll live to be 90 yrs old. Only the good die young is a true saying.

Gotta have faith which is hard to have at times.

Here's to a better Thursday otherwise I'm going on a Margarita binge!

Bama # 1

After a lovely weekend, freezing my bum off, watching the game, cooking out and all other fun stuff that we did, I'm happy to announce that ALABAMA IS RANKED NUMBER 1!!!!!

T-Town and all of the BAMA fans couldn't be happier! I've gotten all into football this year. Unusual!!!!!!!....I've even told my hubby a few things about football players and rankings that he hadn't heard yet. ROFL
He asked me what was wrong with me!!! Oh nothing! Now if LSU will beat Auburn and I aint no LSU fan! LSU shouldn't have a problem since Kentucky just beat Auburn for the first time since 1966. Anywho, football is getting interesting. Mark Ingram is da bomb and I think we just might make it to a National Championship! Fingers Crossed!

Hope you have a great week!

Roll TIde!

Yay! Alabama won AGAIN! They played a great game although I do admit to napping from the 2nd quarter to the 4th quarter. Old women can't stay out late and be at work at the crack of dawn the next day. HEHE!
They're well on their way to beating LSU! ROFL (I have LSU fans in the family now) Whoda thunk it?

Great week so far around my neck of the woods....got to meet some of my bloodlines last weekend. I have pics but I rather scrap them and then share.
I've been editing them on Photoshop. I bought PS6 last year and I've never used it. Installed it this week and played with it.
I'm in love with turning a picture black and white then adding color on the colorful spots. Awesome accents to a plain pic! I have some ideas in my head but PS6 will take some time to learn.

Have a great Sunday!

Family History

It's come down to meeting a long list of family members that I've NEVER met before. I can't put my finger on my emotions but I am anxious. I am really glad that I'm going to see where my grandparents are buried...see their graves and be with ALL of my siblings at one time. This has never happened before! I am really excited to get a group picture as well. I know it won't look like most sibling pics since we're spaced out for 20 years. We didn't have our cute little bro/sis pics sitting by the Christmas tree....none of us ever laid eyes on each other until the past 6 months.
The kids and I are going to my biological fathers family reunion. I have a list of questions that I hope to get answered.
Anyway, I can't wait to see my 2 brothers and my sister again. I really love the time that I spend with them. It's good memories that I will NEVER forget.

I hope to learn more about the family, ancestory, some personal questions about my fathers life, and spending time with my siblings. This is going to be a great weekend that I almost passed up.

Hope that you're having a fantastic week. I am standing by for the weekend!

SUUUUU WEEEEEE

We went to the game yesterday and had a blast. Even in the pouring down rain at kickoff......thank Gawd for ponchos. We went with my dearest most mature friend that I have, REBA! She's a hoot to hang with! We all went on our cruise together and had a BLAST!

Anywho, the pigs got slaughtered yesterday! Alabama 35 - Arkansas 7 All that was left of the pigs were a few chitlings. LOL

Got to see every play and every touchdown.......got to hear the elephant squeal MANYYY times.

Getting home was a NIGHTMARE! Football is a second religion in Tuscaloosa.

A good day spent with the girls and my hubby......I haven't seen him much lately so it was nice to hang with the old man for 2 days. HEHE! We'll that has come and gone....back to reality. No husband, kids, school, and long days at work.

Here's a pic of us girls......We were soaking wet so excuse the horrible picture at the concession and smoking area.

Went Shopping

I went shopping when I got off of work so that I could spend my gift cards and birthday $$$. I love Bath and Body Works... I racked up on some perfume, candles galore, lotions, and room sprays. If you love candles go sniff the new "Leaves" candle. OMG, this candle smells GREAT! I should have been a witch since I have an obsession with Yankee candles and Bath and Body Works candles. Instead I am just a WITCH without the W and insert B. HEHE!!

I racked another purse which I can add to my healthy collection. Don't know why I keep buying them because my closet is in serious need of more clothes not purses. My son even commented on how "crazy" it is to go shopping and buy "smelly stuff" and "bags"..... how I love a boy who just doesn't get chicks!

When I get that Versace purse that I have my eye on then I will take my purse collection to the Salvation Army. Oh how I love to dream!

Great week so far....Thank God tomorrow is Friday. I have a mound of paperwork at work to hit earlyyyy in the morning. I don't wanna wake up! LOL

Alabama plays Arkansas on Saturday......Kick some azz Alabama!

Have a great weekend!

Another Bday

When and if I wake up I will be another year older.
I can say that this was a year of truth for me. Sooooo much stuff happened. I will never forget it and will always remember how it has shaped me in both good and bad ways.
While I know the truth about a lot of stuff, I also have a lot of apathy and resentment.

This year:
My father in law passed away
We went on a fabulous cruise...got to see Cozumel and the Grand Caymans
Got to see my son kill his first deer
Got to see my husband and son kill their first wild hogs and a few to follow
Deer hunting ruled the roost around here
Had a wonderful Christmas, the best ever according to my kids
Husbands grandmother lost her house in a fire (STRESSFUL)
Totally remodeled our other home in less than 3 weeks
Got 2 new weiner dogs (grrrrr)
Lost my job that I loved because it closed
Started another job
Pit bills killed my beloved cat
Found that my biological father passed away
Found 2 brothers that I had no clue about and met them
Met my sister for the first time
Got to meet new neices and nephews
Watched my son become a dare devil that is scared of nothing
Got to see many other wonderful things but I honestly can't remember crap right now.

Yep, It might be a crazy life but it is my life!
I will never forget this year....lots of good and bad things happened but it's made me, ME!
