Birds are of the DEVIL!

O.k, so you all saw my wonderful garden and how beautiful it looked,,,,,yea looked...so I set my little vegetable children (just babies) out to get a little sunshine on my front porch today and went into town for a couple of hours and when I got home I was mortified to discover they had all been eaten by birds. Their little green heads laying all over the table, their little roots thrown all over the place, looked like the scare crow after the flying monkeys scattered his straw! So it's back to square one. So here is my plan, when I get them to grow back again, (I planted more seeds) and it's time for them to go outside I'm putting up electrical bird wire and I'm going to ZAAAPP!!! their feathery little butts. I need to go now, time to mourn my loss. Darn Birds!

The Grand Kids and I.

Yes, this is my beautiful family! Can you believe it 6 grandkids and all just a awesome wonderful kids.

The beginning of a Glorious Garden.

O.k, back in the saddle again, after computer crashing....I think it was because I opened an account on facebook and right after it crashed I had heard allot of people were having problems with face book so I don't think I will be going back to it,,,,it cost me too much time and stress getting my computer back and I lost everything on it...yikes!!!

So let's see, well Dad is doing well, the Chemo didn't do too much but the radiation did help with the pain so he is going to go for more radiation and he is starting to gain some weight back again to that is great news. My Sister Tawnee just moved back to AZ from UT with her kids and they are staying at Mom and Dads, Zsaneen and Joseph moved out of my house and into their rental just when Tawnee was on her way down so I moved back into my house so Tawnee could stay with mom and dad....pphheewwww!! confusing...yep I know!

Just trying to keep my head up and stay positive so I am on a total do positive be positive, eat good, be good, exercise, and just an overall take care of myself and try to be a better person. This world is so full of stress that it is killing us all so STRESS is my new enemy. I want to fill my life with positive good stuff, kinda like penicillin for stress. It is hard to change your life habits of stressing over everything and being responsible for all things, and I always felt that it was my job to stress over everything and take care of everything,,,but guess what I'm retiring from stress. Well, as much as possible as you'd probably have to be dead not to feel stress or have a little stress in you life.

Today I have an appointment with a Heart Specialist and I'm going to see what can be done with my bummm ticker. He is going to tell me that a miracle has happened and that I am absolutely healed and I could run a marathon if I wanted. Positive thinking,,,,positive thinking....

I'm at Ala's right now visiting with the fam, stayed the night since my Dr.s appt is in Tucson. The kiddies are all getting so darn big. I am trying to talk Ala into coming over to my house and spending a few days since there is no school this week for the kids. It would be great to have them back into the country getting dirty and chasing javalinas.

Well, my peeps, hope to hear from you all and now that I am back in the saddle, as far as my computer, I will visit your blogs soon.

So, howz everyone?????
Here is the newz from the battle front....
The wind started blowing last Sunday and hasn't let up, it's going to be a typical February winter in Arizona. Dad has lost 10 lbs in one week and is not doing to well, Mom and I are doing our best to try and stay one step ahead of everything and give what comfort we can. Lane and his clan are doing well, he is trying to find grader work out here but ya know the economy and such. But he and I are still working on getting the DJ business up and running. Laurie and the dogz are same ol, same ol. Zsaneen and Joseph are here now and staying in my house until one of Mom and Dads rentals is vacant which should be Feb 21. Joseph is looking for work. Pooch stinks and needs a bath and if she doesn't stop barking I may have to operate. As for me, well, just dreamy ya know. I'm reading the Eragon series and am on book II Eldest, it's nice to have an escape from reality which I need on a daily basis. I miss everyone and plan on visiting you all when things get a little better down here.

Keeping it real

Good Day To Ya Govna!

Howz my peeps doin in 2009! Well I could go on about how dire things are out here and all but why spend any more energy on the negative and why not hope for best. Dad is hanging in there like a real champ, keeping him going keeps me goin so that's good. I am now reading the Eragon book series, yea I know Vampires to Dragons but what the heck life is just too real right now and I need the distraction. And just so that you all know if I were a dragon I'd be ruby red with emerald green eyes.

So even though I am way down here in the sticks right now I keep an eye and ear on all of ya and wish I could be there. This weekend I get to see my BABIES! Oh my I could just run out and climb a tree I'm so excited! Ihi is coming to visit also and that will be fun, we are going to have a movie marathon at the theater,,,,that is until they catch on that we are jumping from one theater to the next and kick our butts out. OH but the adventure of it all....hey could this go on a criminal record?

Keep laughing until you want to vomit, cry even if someone is looking, and live like a Dragon bold and beautiful........til next time.......keep it real peeeeps!

Thanks all and here's to the new year!

Thanks everyone for your kind words and encouragement. It really helps to know that you can reach out and some one will take your hand for awhile and help you through.

Well, I take each day at a time and it seems the funny stuff is really funny and I laugh really hard and the sad stuff is just respected for what it is. Sad stuff or stressfull stuff has lost it's sting and I now look at it with as little emotion as possible except to respect the situation and do the best to deal with it. If that is what they call putting up a wall then so be it but getting depressed or making myself sick over things I cannot control is not going to help any one especially me.

Here are my plans for the future....!

I want to go to Irland and kiss the best looking guy there.

I will get into a size 9 by dancing every day and laughing until it hurts.

I want to ride horses again and play the french horn again.

I will write one letter a month until I have written every person I hold dear to let them know I love them.

I want to be the best Grandma in the world.

I am going to volunteer at the hospital to hold babies and children who are sick and who's parents can't be there.

I want to fall asleep in the arms of my daughters every once and awhile.

I want to pray like it may be my last prayer.

And....I want to make 3 people smile every day.
