~Cleaning tips~

2011-06-22T14:50:00.000-07:00

Well how about that Kym has learned how to clean ....

These are some tips to help do it more naturally then those harsh chemicals that we use now days. I have found that I have a severe sensitivity to smells and spray chemicals. In other words..I am ALLERGIC to Febreeze!! Yes , Ladies it is true. I so not run around with a cough as I did when I was using Febreeze all the time.. Here we go!

Household odors: Ie..Bacon, urine,dusty, musty etc..
Simply mix vinegar and water into a spray bottle , spray your room or floors or fabrics with it. It will smell like vinegar for a bit , but let me tell you after wards is odorless.
Urine Stains: I do love (insert plug) Kids n Pets, you can get it at Walmart. I should get paid for that and I would if I had more than 2 readers. Here is a kinda cheaper and more natural way to go about cleaning those stains. Borax mixed with water as a paste rub on stain, beds, carpets etc..and let dry then vacuum it up. VIOLA!
BORAX has so many different uses~ You can buy a box and read about the different things you can clean with it..It costs about $2 dollars a box compared to $4 for one cleaning product! SAY WOW! say it again! It will save your household MONEY!
Arm & Hammer Baking soda is good and cheap as well has many uses..I use it to clean counter tops, carpets,Silver sinks that get stained. Also, It is the SECRET in those expensive Magic Erasers..Oh yeah!
My ladies READ LABELS!! take Baking soda mix it with water and clean walls, fridges, many many things..I am truly so excited to share this with you Ladies..

:0) Let me hear from you about some of your tips!!

In the Beginning!

2011-05-18T20:17:00.000-07:00

Couponing is not an easy task to take on but if you have these few simple rules that I have been following then it makes it worth your time and money.

1) NEVER buy anything that is not on sale !
2) NEVER buy anything that does not have a coupon!
3) No one really needs 100 bottles of tylenol unless they are a food bank.
4)Do not I repeat do not go into a store with more money than you plan on spending and your list.
5) Many companies have Rain Checks take them up on them
6) Shop online the weekly ads for the best deals

NEVER NEVER NEVER buy just because you have a coupon!

This is Challenging ! I am an impulse and day by day shopper..Meaning I go to the store everyday for meals.
I have stopped doing this completely.
Today I took my Rain Check,plus my coupons for Bic Soleil to Walgreens .

Razers 6.59
coupons 3.00
bogo1/2 off 2.00
Paid .74 cents for two packs of razers

I have literally halved all my shopping bills just by doing this!! Remember Smart shopping = Super savings!!

My Frugalness

2011-04-21T06:51:00.000-07:00

So everyone is catching on to the coupon train!I have always tried to save and be frugal with what we have to work with. I am going to be seriously couponing! I am learning the rules and finding more awesome website on how to really do this!! So like anyone really reads my blog ...if you have coupons you do not want to use from your area or mine you can mail them to me...message me and I will send my address.

LIKE TESTing Testing 123

2011-02-23T10:09:00.000-08:00

TESTING ,TESTING....While testing the waters with the medicine I am feeling a little better today! I took it last night before bedtime . Only problem with that was I woke up at 4 am kinda groggy but nothing like those first few days I took it during the day.
Noticing I see things clearer than before..less glazed look!
My heart isn't as heavy and I am more laid back...I mean I haven't sweep the floors twenty times yet today! Don't know if that is GOOD is BAD BAD....I like a clean house!
I am smiling and laughing more!!!! Thank God!
ALSO, that I have a lost appetite BUT feel my tummy growl so I eat and that is good so I eat more! WHAT? lol Think I might gain some weight .FOR REAL like I need that!! Anywhoooooooooooo just an update for anyone listening to the voices in my head!

Whoa Down!

2011-02-22T08:08:00.000-08:00

WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

So , since we have last talked in my head, I have got some meds. YUCK they make me feel happy inside but YUCKY all over! Drowsy, Nauseous, a little Dizzy,loss of appetite(yea). Which is worse? I do not know yet , but I will let you know! we may have to change meds. Citolapram is the medicine anyone else taking this?

My mind ,heart and soul! Dealing with depression!

2011-02-16T06:19:00.000-08:00

Everything on the outside is perfectly happy! I have spent the last few years realizing the people around you can only help you achieve happiness NOT make you happy!

I have fought and battled depression for many years ..since I was a teen. I go through various stages of depression some more severe than others. God has helped me in so many ways to deal with it ,but I feel this time I am having an even worse time "shaking" this bout.

EVERYthing else in my life is wonderful! Great God, Great husband and Great family. SO WHY CAN I NOT FEEL HAPPY INSIDE?

My mind, heart and soul feel so heavy some days!

I have tried so hard this time to not revert to medication, but I am leaning that way again. Every three to four years I have these periods of depression. I have taken meds 3 times in my life... I have to return to it..get straightened out chemically , then I will be fine for a few years! Why do I torture myself to deal with my depression? BECAUSE we Americans over medicate! You can rarely get me to take tylenol!

This depression that I feel bleeds over into my family life I know!! I try so hard to be Happy, Smile , Laugh and adjust . I am getting so tired ,sleepy and want to cry all the time! FOR NO REASON!!! This is one the most honest blogs! Many people try to hide it! I am finally embracing it and going to get it taken care of! God knows I have tried other methods! Please pray for me !! I am almost excited to see what can become of this..will I become the "OLD" me or is it to late? Maybe this is the big one ! ARGGGGG!

My Yellow Rose of a MOM!

Today is my mom's birthday! Yea her!! I am writing this blog just for her.

Many times has she shined ! My mom is a light from God in this world. My mom has done a lot of transforming over the years and adapted to many things happening in her life. Mom is a survivor even in the biggest droughts. She has taught us how to be one as well. If I can say one things about her that is the biggest and best is that no matter what she has always loved us and always will until her last breath.
Mom ,reminds me of a yellow rose! She is bright,delicate,fancy and delightful, but try to break her off her stem and she will poke you with her thorns! She brings joy to me when she is around . She did the best with what she had and I think we all turned out pretty well!! I miss you mom and love you!! Have an AMAZING birthday!!

To Home school or not to Home school ?

2011-02-04T11:11:00.000-08:00

To Home school or not to Home school that is the question?

We are thinking about Home Schooling Abbi and Lyman. They have some really great programs here that would suit them great. Abbi has always been a mediocre student BUT is smarter than she lets on and does not like to do the work that leads to the test that leads to passing . Lyman ,He is a good student no complaints really . Never have we based their educational value on their grades .
We (I mean I) am constantly battling with Abbi about her grades. I feel that if I have to be such a watch dog over her and the grades that I might as well be the one making sure she is doing her work and taking her tests. By no means are we wanting her to have an easy out . These programs they offer are tough and very time consuming!

My life long goal has always to been get my children through high school and on to a higher education. I do not want them to have to constantly fight and battle in the crazy world like we have had to do. What kind of an example have we been if we cant even get her to keep her grades up now there is probably no way she will go to college. Argg mental and physical frustration has over taken me. SO I am laying it in God's hands. Praying, praying, praying and more praying!

I just need some input from both sides of the fence. I am not asking for arguments or a huge debate.

GOD Goodly and GOOD GODLY!

2011-01-24T10:10:00.000-08:00

I fell trough on my promise to blog everyday but here goes....

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Amazing how good life can be!
We have had a few snags and bridges but all in all LIFE IS GODLY GOOD!

We are living in The Un-Christian era...Christians should attempt to read this book.

Un-Christian by David Kinnaman

Here is some Quotes:
Eight out of ten students participate in church during their teenage years, but most of them will take a permanent detour from active faith at some point soon after they get their driver’s licenses. . . . The vast majority will cross over to the other side; pronouncing Christianity boring, irrelevant, and out of touch. . . . If a young person is not challenged by hands-on personal ministry, their faith will likely be sidetracked and even sabotaged. For some, that hands-on experience is a mission project across the ocean. For others, it’s a role in a family production or a place behind the ladle at a soup kitchen.

But within a decade, most of these young people will have left the church and will have placed emotional connection to Christianity on the shelf. For most of them, their faith was merely skin deep. (page 74)

More of the same lightweight exposure to Christianity, where a decision for Christ is portrayed as simple and costless, will fail to produce lasting faith in young people. (page 76)

Do not want this for my young people! I want to live Godly GOOD!! My Children will live Godly Good ! Forgiving and moving on from where I was yesterday! Dear God please forgive me and Place us where you NEED us most! We want to be Godly People to other Godly and Un godly people! AMEN

Imitation is the Best form of flattery!

2010-11-01T05:24:00.000-07:00

Learning the concept of imitation is the best form of flattery:

This is a picture of my girls and myself. The mouse in front would be Ms. Angie Pangie, smiles in the purple is Ms. Abbi DOO and the frowning fancy will be Ms.Princess LALA. When I grow up .. I wanna be like these girls. Their personalities are all so much different ,but when put together they make perfect harmony. They all have a little piece of my personality which flatters my soul to know that even when we think we do not make a difference or have an effect on this world,I look at these girls . My son is missing in this picture,but I can tell you these children are my form of flattery! I love them dearly!!!

It's Been awhile!

2010-10-28T11:55:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile! Going to do a quick mic check for my 1 follwer! This thing still on.
Promises: I promise to try and write in you everyday,be more creative and less whiny!

Prayers Please

2010-01-24T19:52:00.000-08:00

As these final days unfold..Our fast is almost at the end. Yea! BUT I am learning more and more things about myself and my walk with God.

My family is in need of prayers..My Uncle Dale is having Heart Bypasses tomorrow. My grandmother is not holding out very well. She is full of worries.

I have come to wonder things lately.. Do most "Christian's" attend church only to get something in return or is it because they truly love God and Going for the fellowship.

For instance:Someone was going to church ..wanted a pony ...didn't get the pony ...so they quit going to church?

God is not a God of Convenience ..he deserves us at ever season in our life!

Please Pray for our families!

Senior guard’s play drives Springtown girls past Saginaw

2010-01-23T09:56:00.000-08:00

SPRINGTOWN — In a physical game, with bodies bumping and crashing to the floor, Springtown senior Christian Cassity had the toughest assignment.

Drive to the bucket.

Springtown coach Ken Thompson figured she could find a lane somewhere against Saginaw’s zone defense, and he was right. His 5-foot-11 guard scored 19 points and put in a driving fourth-quarter layup that stabilized the game for the Porcupines in their 44-36 victory Friday night, earning them what could be a valuable District 6-4A sweep against the Rough Riders.

"We felt like this was a must-win for us," Thompson said.

Which meant finding a way to get inside against Saginaw, which would in turn mean going up against Saginaw post Karli Mellegard.

Any volunteers?

Mellegard made her presence felt, blocking four shots and collecting six rebounds for the Rough Riders (22-6, 7-2 district), but Cassity and fellow guards Christina Jack and Brooklyn Horton got points inside when necessary. Horton went 7-for-8 at the free-throw line in the fourth quarter.

Cassity sank a jumper to start the second half after Saginaw had closed the first half on a 7-0 run that cut the lead to 25-18. Late in the third quarter, after Saginaw’s Gionna Jackson (23 points, five steals) had converted a 3-point play to tie the game, Cassity’s put-back gave the Porcupines the lead back at 33-31.

And in the fourth quarter, after Saginaw missed a second-chance shot that could have cut the lead to one, Cassity drove the lane for a runner that made it 38-33 with 4:20 left and put Springtown (22-5, 8-1) back in control for good.

"We had to win," Cassity said after the matchup of two of the three teams who began the night tied for the 6-4A lead. "The whole team got together the night before and said we needed to win this game."

The Porcupines led 14-5 in the first quarter and 25-11 in the second quarter before Saginaw got its offense going. Jackson scored six consecutive points to cut the lead to 25-18 at the half, and Savanna Trimmer and Mellegard put together another 6-0 run to cut the lead to 27-24 in the third quarter.

But Cassity — who else? — scored the next four points for Springtown for a 31-26 lead, and after Saginaw tied the game, Cassity came through with her seventh and eighth points of the quarter, accounting for all of her team’s scoring in the period.

She also led the Porcupines with nine rebounds.

"The zone that Saginaw is playing right now is tough to score on," Thompson said. "Both teams played really good defense tonight. It was tough for both teams."

Day Four fasting..

2010-01-13T19:56:00.000-08:00

Day four fasting....

Still doing well..wondering how I could ever eat without bread . Man, Everything except salad has some sort of bread to it.I am surprised they havent figured out how to bread salad and deep fry it as well.

I am getting tired of blogging lol

I was looking at myspace pages today and noticed something..

1) Kids whos parents monitor their myspace have more self respect ,kids whos parents do not ...well they have a lot of gangster wanna bes in their friends list!
2)What is it with the Dis and dat ? wat wanna and the double I meaning y?
3) I am glad I deleted mine ,but still monitor my girls.

My husband says that myspace and facebook is a social experiment the GOV is conducting.

I also ad this song stuck in my head..Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

Sometimes a mental breakdown always helps lol

Day One Fasting

2010-01-10T17:12:00.000-08:00

This is day one in my 21 day of fasting ..

No facebook, bread or coffee today! yea! I am taking charge in my life and not letting my circumstances affect my outcome! Taking control of what I once thought was uncontrollable. Realizing that we are the outcome of what we think and how we perceive things. In this time of fasting trying to focus more on my God and Family I will blog once a day .
I am Praying hard that this year I will become what God Expects of me. Also what it is that we are suppose to be doing for his purpose in our family . Realizing in this short of time how I thought raising my children was a chore instead of a joy. I am working on having more joy with them from this point on! They have all the Good stuff God and We have instilled in them . I am very happy about that. Holy holy holy to the lord God almighty !

Sorry If I can....

2009-08-21T18:00:00.000-07:00

Lets see..I recently humiliated myself..

I asked my "real" father for help in a matter that I need dire help with. Mind you I have never asked this man for anthing except to care about me and my brothers. This matter is very important and I needed him to step up . Without a doubt I recieved the response I was expecting!!! "I am sorry I cant help...but if I can help any other way let me know!" Brought back all those feelings of being dirt under someones feet.

This man was one of those deadbeat dads! We never ever relied on him for anything nor has he ever offered us anything. Mistakes were made to where I tried to have him in my life ..he gave me away at my first marriage which he shouldnt have even been invited. my highschool graduation..I was a terrible person for what I did to my real dad Robbin! It took me until I was 30 to actually realize who my dad is! I regret Even asking EDDIE HUMPHREY for any assistance..becuase to no avail he let me down one last time in my life . I am done with that chapter!
This man doesnt even know us or his grandkids ..His loss really! Good bye I hope that someday you will realize what good people We are and how much you missed out on and are missing out on!

Now I weep!

Beautiful life thingies...

Let Me think about this...

2009-08-18T19:53:00.000-07:00

Truly at my wits end...

I do however usually post or blog about the drama in my life . Lets start from the beginning..
Kayla is my step daughter from Lyman . She does not live with us becuase when she was 13 she moved with her Mom.Well Kayla is now 16. We have been trying to be involved in her life Read earliar blogs.
Kayla has recently moved out of her moms house and was staying with a friend. I talked to her aunt to get her to check on kayla and get her to go stay with the aunt. They the aunt and kayla started harping on us that we needed to give the aunt (whose maturity level is about a 18 yo)gaurdianship of her. We said no that isnt the thing to do. We dont trust the aunt enough to give her custody. Since kaylas Dad told her he wasnt doing that she has been very ugly about everything. he did tell her he would help her other ways but that wasnt good enough. She goes around telling everyone that he abandoned her and malarky...
Well her and her aunt call threatning us with lawyers and they are suing us for custody. I say go ahead we need your lawyers name so we can have our lawyers contacts your..their lie! Well first rattle out of the box her Aunt is already stressed out..kayla is going and still doing whatever she wants. She calls me all stressed out . I ask her if she wants us to come get her several times? no. I call her mom asking her what we can do to help . We decided that a boot camp or girls camp would be a good place for a few months. So kaylas aunt calls threatning again..I tell her we will come get her again and we can have her put to a girls home for a few weeks. So kayla gets wind of that and she calls me cussing me up one side back down the other .
I tell them both we dont cuss and not to call and threaten. Her mom has her phone cut off becuase she was trying to make things a little harder on kayla but she was undermind by the aunt ..Kayla and Angies grandad went into the hospital So was putting Pray for the grandad and kayla in my status on myspace and facebook. Well kayla didnt like that so she called me from her new number cussing me again and telling me not to act like I care about anyone in her family. Then came the texts..I was texting her everyday once a day to tell her we loved her and god loves her if she needed anything . Then I get a text and phone call telling me not to contact her again or she was filing Harassment on me . I told her go for it . I texted her one other time and she told me she was serious and I talked to the aunt about it. The aunt say yes she is becuase she talked with a officer about it I live next door too. Since then I havent texted her not once! BUT Kayla can call to cuss me or text me whenever she wants but if I reciprocate a text or call she is suiOh needless to ng me , filing harrassment and going to have my kids taken away.(what she says)
I was looking on her myspace and seen a pic of a tat...SHE GOT WHEN SHE WAS 14 along with her tongue peircing! Talking about how Kaylas mom hasnt been in her life for a long time and she was missing out on alot ..that brought me to the point of you know they ALL knew this was going on long before Kayla moved out of her moms house. NOT one cared then! Brings me to the point I brought up yesterday...Not one person has even really tried to be involved in angies life or they would be and I was blunt about it. They have our number, address, email! I told her aunt that they al need to make the calls and care about angie. Low and behold I get those threatning phone calls from kayla again, she doesnt realize her threats are petty. My kids cant be taken from me , they can tell the courts anything they want to know. They cant throw us in jail. Becuase i told the truth and it hurt their feelers and hit the nail on the head!! They are not involved in Angies life last time Kayla talked with Angie was her birthday for two minutes. Her mom calls her on her birthday and major holidays. Her grandparents never call they did write her a letter and sent her a birthday towel this year. Now kayla calls threatning becuase I told her aunt and mom angie was not coming up there until Kayla straightend her act up . I have all the texts and voice mails exchanged . EVERY Threatning one... telling me how she is sending us to jail and filing on her dad for the "things he did" going to have our kids taken away and make our lives hell...and they all let her do this ! Oh and that doesnt take the cake..she got a job for a week, went and stayed a week with some guy named Patrick in Shamrock for a week. All that is ok so I told them We arent playing there games anymore and how far does she have to plunge before someone resposible steps in? WE are suppose to let our daughter Angie go be in the middle of this . DAD says NO , I her MOM says NO! When Kayla starts acting right she can visit them again , but not until then. I tell them how None of them are in angies life and guess what kayla called but I wasnt home to let her talk to angie so I was cussed and she was filing harrasment and taking my texts to her aunt to the courthouse. Then today I get an email from the grandmother asking if my email was the same and phone number .. Magical They all need to take responsibility for
their actions . KAYLA is not the onl child in that family! I only blogged half of it , but if your really interested you can email I will tell the whole truth!
Sorry needed to vent!!

Officer Randy Whites Funeral procession

2009-04-08T14:10:00.000-07:00

YESTERDAY, I was taking my sinister in law to her Dr. App. Not knowing we were about to be blessed!
Officer Randy White of Bridgeport,TX. died in action when he was assisting in a road block and The person ran into his SUV and killed him! He left a wife and 5 yo little girl behind!

I know there were at least 80 Motorcycle Police, 200 Cars ,3 helio and numerous others in his procession. He was a well loved man and officer. It is a sad day on earth when someone's life is takin so tragically!
We were blessed because we got to take part in honoring him in that short time! Seeing the magnificent force of the North Texas Officers and their respect for a fallen officer!
Be with God !

Photography is a favorite Hobby of mine. I really enjoy UTATA.org and have a few photos on there. My skills have improved and Projects are getting better and more creative. Well I post and yet only one person in two years has commented on one photo. I am learning they are like a photographer click either your a kiss butt or not. I think I am the not! I disagreed with quite a few of them about photographing Charles Mason. Being in the same room with the devil incarnate is not my thing!! They say things like "not my business what his morals and blah blah were" GIVE ME A BREAK HUMANITY! So all the projects that I have done for this group are now just sitting mildewing..It would be really nice to actually have some recognition for my projects because I do them out of boredom and in the thought I might impress someone important with my photographs.Maybe I just think they are good...But it is a learning experience!
Oh and I am saddend becuase my Pro account has expired(due to NO MONEY) and I have limitations on uploading my photos. :O(

Dr Blah blah ....job!

2009-04-08T12:32:00.000-07:00

So SO my friends we meet again! Many people will read this and go where is the punctuation ,grammar or just all around funness of a blog! WELLLL English was never a strong subject!

I have a on the job interview for three days next week and they need to plan to be wowed! Very competitive @ learning new things! I will be a medical assistant...Dr blah blah...get the patient roomed , charts ,appointments and so on! I am so torn in my head and heart with not getting back on the truck! Needless to say this new job entails long hours 8-7 M-F...or I could get a job working on the truck 36 hours a week with 24 shift and 12? Up side to Med ASS. job they will help with tuition for college..When planning to go to PA school that could be a plus..full benefits after 90 days..off weekends ..There are pluses and negatives for both!
Christian my oldest yard ape finally stopped mooching of us lol she is working @ sonic and loves it.
Just some thoughts today!
Where do we find the subjects to write about if not from everyday life?

Stinky Teens!

2009-04-06T05:57:00.001-07:00

Okay help me out here...
I really need the manual on teens. I looked on their feet when they were born and NO fine print! No one ever told me they would be loving one minute and thinking they could yell @ me and throws mood swings left and right lol It upsets me when they are not considerate and loving to each other! Maybe I have stupid rules or am too tough on them. They want to be grown up so bad !! I want to be young again without worries! Oh well guess I will play it by ear and if they are messed up adults then we will know I failed!

Count Your Blessings!

2009-03-31T13:33:00.001-07:00

Count your Blessings name them one by one!!! Count Your Blessings see what God has done!!

First off everyone that knows me knows I don't take a bunch of guff! NO DRUGS ,NO ALCOHOL at my house.. Lets see I will start with the Cops coming to my house Thursday night and searching it for Kimberly Reeves!! I was talking to my mom and looked out the window around 1230 at night . Well there was lights in my yard so I let the dogs out ! Six Cops were in my yard snooping around looking for her and such! To go backwards a bit we tried to help this woman to clean up her life last summer. She wasn't helping herself and still on dope ,so I told her she was not welcome in my home!! So now foward...the searched my house. Not a blessing !
BUT you know when you pray.... They are not suppose to ever be back out here !
Lyman went to work today!Yea!!!
I put in for some jobs !! Yea
We got some money we were not expecting!
God Blessing Us for trying to be blessings!

Seventeen and Legal

2009-03-25T06:29:00.001-07:00

This morning Christian and I had a conversation about her being legal. I asked her to define her being legal to do what?
This is her answer and I quote: "If I decided (which I wouldn't) to go have sex with a Twenty year old man , You could not do anything about it." My opinion to that statement was " You can not vote,buy alcohol or cigarettes as legal adult, but you think you can make decisions on having sex with men?" her " Yes because I am legal."
I stated to her just because she will be turning 18 in Oct. doesn't truly make her a responsible adult. She hasn't ever had to do anything really for herself.
If that is true being "legal" at seventeen ,then they need to be able to vote,buy alcohol & cigarettes . Having Sex to me is a bigger decision to me than voting is now days! Voting won't kill you!! Get you pregnant! Or hand you and STD although some would say BHO is like a case of herpes!
I was legal @ seventeen ,I was married and 3 months away from being 18 . Shortly after my Marriage I was pregnant with her! I try to explain things are different in her life. She Has many dreams that do not include Children at this point. I can tell you something I have taught my Girls better . If it did happen, we would figure it out! That decision would never include the morning after pill, the horse pill or any form of abortion!

Oh I want to get this puppy he is bassett hound eagle ... But can't !

Racist Vs. Racist

2009-02-24T06:40:00.000-08:00

Yesterday listening to the Christian radio and what do I hear?
People complaining about how most WHITES assume most BLACKS voted for BHO. What flipping CRAP! I know whites that voted for him! I did not vote for BHO!! My decisions in voting were not based off of his color! The constant Racism going on Between both races is getting to be ridiculous. I am a little miffed to the fact that It wasn't a Presidential Color race. When there is a WHITE man voted back into the Presidency ...you won't hear the Whites going Wow it is amazing we have a white man in the white house again ! Lol THINK that sounds racist?
WE all have to get along ! GET over your color! I am concerned about how the GOV is being ran and the moral values that go with it!!!
Blacks /whites ,Brown/purple,Yellow/red? Who cares...Remember Racists breed Racism on both races part!!
Just frustrating really!! I will not be attacked because of my color and That I didn't vote for BHO!

Trying this out!

2009-02-19T21:29:00.000-08:00

Ehh! ..We would alternate squells!Lyman comes running from his shower to see what is the matter ..we say a mouse ! He giggles tickling his nose lol and says where is the flyswatter? I about wet my pants laughing!!Oh happy days!

I found out today threw my mom that we are 14th generation Americans going all the way back to the late 1600's. Maturin Ballou the Huguenot.....

The Huguenots were members of the Protestant Reformed Church of France (or French Calvinists) from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.

Pretty cool!

Choir, Christmas spirit and ruby red slippers

2008-12-10T05:20:00.000-08:00

My family will be having their Christmas here on the 21st..I am totally excited! I have a turkey/ham.I am needing help with some cool new ideas for appetizers and such! I love cooking for my family...It makes me feel needed. That is alot of the reason we eat at home more than we dont..Christmas was not my favorite time for a few years..but now it is like a flashing set of bulbs went off around me !My husband is actually going to hang lights for me?? EEKKKK! with excitement! I actually have ruby red shoes, christmas earrings and ready for the holiday! I am not going to let anyone damper my cheerful spirit! So any suggestions for anything would be appreciated!
So we will have turkey and ham with the fixin's. The normal Pies and such....I want Michelle's Cherry PIE! HELP
Last night we went to Abbi-girls choir concert! I can tone others out and just hear her sing..her choir teacher wants her to try out for varsity choir next year,but I dont know. Abbi is really really shy. She has this coping mechanism of giggling when she is nervous...so She starts giggling last night on stage! Choir teacher was upset I am sure. Abbi is a giggle box! she really cant help it, but we explained she has to bite her lip sometimes... It was fabulous except we sat there for alomost 3 hours to hear her sing in two songs? I was disappointed that I didnt get to hear the Soprano come out of her for the high notes in the last song..because she has been an alto and just recently been promoted! We could however hear her giggling lol well off to begin my day of taxi mom! Feliz Navida

Just Crap

2008-12-09T06:40:00.000-08:00

I was really trying to have the heart God wants me too and taking advice.

To set the record straight that way when all comes around Kayla can not say we didnt try to be involved with her . More with her than they are with Angie...

I have been texting /talking to her about coming to see us since December 06.. Well she had told us numerous times that she would be coming .Just to let EVERYONE know we really want her to be a part of our lifes. She is the missing Bearden

We have been trying to help kayla out with clothes , moral support and such.Been telling her have a good day, we love her amd miss her.We did things for her that her mom didnt time to do or would not do so says she... We have texted maybe Six major times and all were when she wanted something only twice when she just wanted to talk. I just listened gave advice and told her that her mom was right for the way she was doing things . She needed to listen to her mom becuase she was right. I never bad mouthed her mom to her at all. I still wont to her! I bet she does about us to Kayla! I asked Kayla to take that stuff about her dad being a JURK off her myspace. She can keep the stuff about the mom and brother, but she doesnt know the story . If it was all so fatastic why did she move to her moms? She has a Sister here that she never talks to but holidays and birthdays,A Step sister she was raised around, A half sister and half brother. So yes it is slightly offensive..but it is her Choice! THis is my blog!

She had been 'seeing' this guy who is 19 and in the Marines. She texts me last week to say she doesnt want us to buy her anything for christmas but would I please please buy this guy Micheal a weeding band off of ebay. I say what does your mom think of this 'my mom would freak out' . so we start talking about if they are getting married or engaged she said no ..but we are not up there around her to know the truth(she has been lying to us constantly) I talk to her dad and he says we will not be any part of this..I tell her and all of the sudden she is mad . I tell her I dont like being to go to gal she texts everytime she wants us to buy something. Well that set her off as to then she is not ever talk to us again..I Texted her mom to make sure she knew what kayla was up too. Which I was told by her mom that not to encourage the relationship she was trying to discourage..Hellooooo anyone know me well enough to know I WASNT ! I was discouraing her from the time I found out..But her mom let her go to the prom with him being that much older than her amoung other things ....SHE SHOULD HAVE DISCOURAGED IT FROM THE BEGINNING! Kayla invited us to her choir concert a couple of weeks ago..I figured she was over the ring. I asked her today when her choir concert was so we could check the calendars to see if we could attend...'I don't want u to come anymore bye' I say'just becasue I told you to quit texting only when you want us to buy something? I am not going to kiss your hiney, you have broken alot of promises to us,I will tell dad bye' She says'Whatever stop the bullshitim not stupid or six years old ! I havent broken any promises!! The thing on myspace is for stacie nd austin and amanda ' 'I wont take it off it doesnt say anything bad' I say 'Kayla do what you want I dont care about that anymore. what about the times you say your coming alomost every holiday and then find something else to do..if your not six then do act it! and dont cuss at me little girl!! if you do them just dont talk to me anymore...your dad didnt break him and stacie up she did ..get the full story before you point fingers. i am not going to fight with you like I said they are more important to you. when you want a relationship with us we will be here! 'She says'FUCK YALL BOTH' I tell her 'Its what you wanted in the first place, we love you have a good day' she'Leave me the fuck alone!!! I dont wanna hear that Bullshit anymore! Go the fuck away' I say Gone honey dont text me either please I dont have to hear it either . you dont like the truth abd you would be s far grounded if you were around me your disrepectful but your mom lets you so she has to deal with that dont text me again unless you NEED something.'

I know i was wrong in some aspects but I am not going to put up with that or kiss a 15 yo butt. I have never done it ! that really makes me appreciate my girls more and more becuase they WOULD NEVER talk to me like that becuase they didnt get their way. I was hoping to go to her concert if it was close enough to Christmas let angie stay and they could bring her home.. But I am at the point to where I dont want to do any favors !

I am just ranting , but I will not stand for that action that is why she doesnt come here she knows I will not!! When she is ready to respect and move on then we are here ! We love her and constantly worry about her! God knows she doesnt have any real parental supervision.

This is the day! This is the day!!

2008-10-18T06:47:00.000-07:00

Today is the day for the KIMBELLS Museum of ART! Yea!! I am so excited. It is going to be an awesome day..I wish Lyman could go, but it would bore him to death lol He is the scientific person I am the artsy one.

We did a project in Utata also this weekend of our roads less traveled, I thought I would just make is a duo project for Project 365 also....Then I said to myself "we should love God and Jesus every day of our lives" SO i think this really fits the project well. I thank God everyday for the things he has done and will do for mankind! John 3:16 read it!

This was Thursday walk 100 ..I of course took off walking around the yard and found this pretty bee ...along with alot if his friends. I snapped his picture and then scooted away pretty fast.

They are so wonderful to me.

Dont Pay Attention to the Wo-Man behind that curtian

2008-02-29T08:32:00.000-08:00

Dont Pay Attention to the Wo-Man behind that curtian......
I am one of those! Yes,a why am I here and what is the meaning to life?I have yet to be gratified with the answer. Some might say my husband,kids and so on ...YES I know all those! The over all picture is why I am searching.I am No one of importance,I am different and unique just like the rest of the world!I wish I could say that I have had some really cool things happen in my life,but I can not. I am a plain jane woman. No living in a fantasy world for me for I am a realist. I do feel at times that I am wasting my youth on the boredom of daily life. JUST existing,not living!OR is this the life meant for me...Maybe I cant deal with too much excitement. MAYBE I AM BORING! If I sit around and have to much time to think..I feel I will go insane with these thoughts..When I know I am a happy outgoing person. I have to much time on my hands.
Sometimes I just feel alot of anger! I want to screammmmmmmm out help me! Why am I angry? I have a good life.
Sometimes I feel lost and hopeless...why I know where I am and where I am going!
Sometimes I feel alot of resentment towards others. Altough I would not even want or need to be them.
Are these just natural human feelings ?
I am not depressed or bi-polar..or even skitz..just a normal average everyday woman needing to be stimulated!

Our Greatest Fears.....

2008-02-23T15:22:00.000-08:00

‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond imagination. It is our light more than our darkness which scares us. We ask ourselves – who are we to be brilliant, beautiful, talented, and fabulous. But honestly, who are you to not be so?
You are a child of God, small games do not work in this world. For those around us to feel peace, it is not example to make ourselves small. We were born to express the glory of god that lives in us. It is not in some of us, it is in all of us. While we allow our light to shine, we unconsciously give permission for others to do the same. When we liberate ourselves from our own fears, simply our presence may liberate others.’
- Marianne Williamson in Return to Love: Reflections on a Course in Miracles

Just plain Tired

2008-02-22T11:44:00.000-08:00

I guess the reasoning behind me blogging is to get my feelings out and deal with them..Not many people know about this blog of mine . I am probably going to say a few things that I should not...
I am sick of giving a crap !! I am really sick of feeling like the "other" woman! I know this sounds terrible but I have paid my dues! I am a strong woman with a very forcible opinion. I am selling all the goods in my house..I want my own things. I am really putting myself out here people so please no back stabbing me!
I have insecurity issues with Lyman and I always have. It is not him that does things he is just a niave man. I love him with all of my heart. I always have since I was 19! I want my own bed,dishes,flatware...etc....I had all of that stuff but I gave it up to move here...I still am not comfortable living in this house that I didnt buy. Mind you I have dealt with the sufferings of paying the mortgage and dealing with all the house things we women do alot longer than she did ! she was only here for 2 months!!!
I am Mad at myself for putting myself in this situation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY didnt he ever buy me all these things? I mean we were married along time ..I think it is becuase material things really of no importance to me....but I do feel strange knowing that when use the salt shakers I didnt buy them or even pick them out!! THEY ARE NOT MY THINGS!
I have asked her to stop calling him and texting him...she doesnt have any connections to him except she is money hungry and thinks we are getting alot of money from the GOVERNMENT...HA HA HA that is a funny sentence ...He has to pay her 5000.00 for divorcing him...WHEN SHE spent all of his life savings and SHE LEFT HIM for really no good reason(took most of everything)plus he paid her the income tax last year ,becasue I wasnt even in the picture then for real!! SHe said it was becuase she had to live in my shadow....well darlin you think you would see the signs before you married him that he loved me....How many men keep all of their ex wifes rings including the wedding ones? Most dishes? pictures? blankets that were made love under many many times? alot of things! SO PLEASE it has been well over a year now...and they were only married a little over a year! SO dont freakin tell me when I ask you to leave him alone that when we get what little the gov is going to give us I personally will bring it or send it to your skanky butt that your going to come get YOUR things becuase GUESS what they are not your things they are his things !You want the bed we make love in come and get it!He does not really care and I cant tell him these thing becuase i am afraid to hurt his feelings. But she is a bitch and crawls under my skin that she even thinks that I could give a shit about her things? That is why he LOVES me and always has...he told me he was happy when I came back becuase he could stop trying to replace me! I am ready to move back to Texas so that I can work and make my own money..be that confident woman again, instead of this shell of a woman that doesnt give a care anymore.I am NOT the other woman and never have been ...YOU were!
I am really a nice person, quiet and usualy gentle until you piss me off! SO STAND BACK!
ALL I WANT IS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR LIVES AND YOU TO BACK OUT OF OURS! YOU HAVE NO PLACE HERE ANYMORE SO AUSTA BITCH!

Ang

2007-11-30T09:05:00.000-08:00

Well, Ang got back from visiting her mom and grandparents. She talked about them for about 15 minutes and then she was done. Usually she talks about them for days on days after she sees them. I usually sit back and listen to her and ask her how they are and so on...but this time she was abrupt and to the point and has not said anything else , not even at school about them.We usually have a bit of trouble at school about it. Maybe she is finally realizing...or can see the differences. I dont know I am glad she went. She is adjusting very well. She loves her families all of them! She is a great girl and I do not want her to get hurt ever!

Ang Going to her moms

2007-11-21T05:55:00.000-08:00

Jealousy sometimes hurts when you have to compete for a childs love on a continuous basis. I am the one that cares for Angie everyday,rain or shine, when she is sick or when she is having a bad day. Her real MOM hardly never calls her or sees her, does not help in any way with supporting her. BUT when she calls or is going to visit it is like I am left out in the cold..I almost do not exsist. I feel I get no credit for what It is I do with angie..I get sick of her mom always being the Good MOM in her eyes!!!When her Mom is never there for her!! I know it is not angies fault, she thiks she is still 4. And it definately gets drilled in angies mind that I am her step mom and I cant be her mom. That is fine..then I say step up and be a mom!!!Go to her parties at school, make her some cupcakes to take...when she has an accident at school be the one to take her what she needs.All she does when she calls her or sees her is totally disrupt her mind and life. it is almost like Angie reverts back to being a baby instead of moving forward.I just get tired of the ex BS all of the time.
