I had an eye appointment today. Everything went well. As I suspect my vision has gotten worse since the last visit which was 5 years ago. I tried on many frames and finally decided on a pair. They are black square. Like the modern kinds. I didn't know if I could wear them. But KC said I looked really good in them. So then I sat down. the receptionists said was I aware my insurance didn't cover frames and lens?? Oh NO!! I called ahead and made them check to see exactly how much my insurance would pay. All I had to pay was the co-pay and that was all I was going to pay. She went to the back and came back and then told me there was a mistake. My insurance pays for everything up to 200. I just have to pay for the co-pay. I was so relieved. so for that price I got a new pair of frames and lens. then I tented my old pair so I would have a pair of sunglasses. the old pair isn't as strong as the new pair BUT I don't wear sunglasses all the time so it wouldn't really matter. Also while I was at the eye doctor I asked him if my daughter had an exam and she had 20/20 could she still have problems reading up close? She says her vision is blurry. He said yes she could so now I have to make her an appointment. Or I could buy a small pair of reading glasses and see if it helps. Overall I am happy about my visit!

there was a book on the shelf that you found about a year ago. You had never read it or even took it off the self to see what kind of book it was but you wondered. Finally one day you decided to take the book down and look at the front cover. You really liked what you seen. Something about the cover aroused feelings inside that have been dormet for a long time. Could you open the book to see what is in it? Not today! So you placed the book back on the shelf. You took the book down many times and just look at the front cover. One day you were bold enough to open the book just to read the first page. Your body starts quivering. What is it about this book that drives you almost insane. Could you stop with just reading the first page? No so one day you opened up a little more. Could the author feel what you were feeling? As you read further you can't control yourself. You must know more and more. You must experience more and more. One day you come to realize that why did it take you this long to open a book written this good?? Could you ever finish it? Could you ever put it down? NO! You don't want the book to end. You don't want to put the book down but there are times that you have to. You opened this book about 6 days ago. 6 days have passed since you read one word. Tomorrow you shall open it again. Wonder where the book will take you?

I woke up this morning around 8 am. I was laying there debating on what I was going to do. My daughter came in and laid beside me. It hit me like a tun of bricks. I asked her if she wanted to go to the lake. It was a pretty day, not to hot and no rain. She wanted to go. She wanted to go to church also but she said we can go next week. We don't have many days available to go to the lake. We piled everything in the truck and headed out. I called a friend on the way. she wanted to go. So we ran by there to pick her up along with her two girls. Well then her brother in law wanted to go. So he drove his truck with his two kids. Wow we had 7 kids going. We got there and unloaded. Milo also went with us. We all swam and played chicken fight. We had a ball. Milo didn't care to much for the water so I put him on a surf board. Now that he liked just as long as I didn't put him in the water. One thing is my friend and her BIL didn't bring food. I am so glad I brought enough. I know those kids would be starving. So next time she is bringing the food. So we all headed home about 3pm. If I went alone I would have stayed all day. But that is ok. 10-3 is enough. MAG slept all the way home.
I observed some behavior things out of KC that I didn't like. so needless to say I had to have another talk with her. There was a 17 year boy that came. She was all over him. I told her harshly to get off. she knew I meant business. then she started flirting with 2 15 year old. Turns out she ended up giving her cell phone # to them. I waited till we got home to have the talk. She said oh crap another talk. I was firm with her. I told her I will refuse to sit around and watch her act like that again. if she wants to stay at home at all times then this will happen. If I can't trust her to act like a lady when I am with her then I can't trust her to act like a lady when she isn't with me. I fI hear of it or see it again I will be her worst enemy. I know she has friends but that is all these boys will be. I will send her butt to juvy in a heart beat. plus I will press charges on these boys. I mean business. She can learn from this or she can start hating me. If she starts hating me then all heck will brake lose and her life will be hell because I refuse to back down. only time will tell if my talks work. Other than that our trip went fine. Oh my MIL didn't call. Now that is unusual for her not to call with MAG is here with just me. MG must have called her and told her he is fine not to call. Because by now she would have called a million times. OR she might think it isn't best to call after the blow out. Who only knows. I am just glad she didn't because I would have had to put my foot down once again.
Thank you for such a wonderful day. Now I am ending this day with a nice bath, dinner, and a good movie!!

I walked 3.2 miles today. I feel better since walking BUT my feet hurt. KC has been after me for a while to walk with her. she begged from the time we started if we could walk the entire 3 mile circle around out house. I hadn't planned on walking the entire circle. Well we made it half way. She started complaining she can't make it. We should call dad to come and get us. So I called. Sure enough he was going to stop playing his game and come and get us. haha. I told him no we were fine. She wanted to walk it that is what we will do. We finally made it home. I think we will walk it again tomorrow.

Our grocery store had coke products on sale this weekend. My daughter was putting up all the cokes. She laid out 100 coke cans on the table. Took a picture. Then she said she was going to build a pyramid with 100 coke cans. I didn't stop her. I love the way she uses her imagination to do things. My step son doesn't know how to do this. Anyway.. she built a small one. Took a picture. then she sat and tried to figure out how to build one using all the cans. Then behold she got up and started putting the pyramid together. you could it wasn't sturdy. I took a picture really fast. she began taking down each can. Guess what?? They ALL fell. ALL 100 cans went everywhere. Well guess what else happened?? Some busted open. Coke was going everywhere!! You could see the stream going to the ceiling. MG and MAG got up and looked to see what happened. KC and I couldn't stop laughing. MG was so mad. I told him just to go back to his game and let me handle this. I laughed till I can't laugh any more. She is now in there cleaning up the mess. I didn't get mad. I thought the whole thing was funny. I asked her what did she learn out of this?? She said "Cokes will explode."

No matter how overwhelming the task in front of you, remember you have the same 24 hours as George Bush has today and Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Leonardo da Vinci and many other big producers had before. The answer may well be in how well we use those same hours using basically the same golden rules of time management like planning, prioritizing, delegating, dividing big task into smaller ones, measuring progress, etc.

Remove the stinger first by scraping it away with a dull blade, then grab an Alka-Seltzer tablet, moisten it slightly, let it fizz and apply it to the sting. The fizzing process allows both substances to travel beneath the skin providing immediate relief. Alka-Seltzer contains baking soda, which reduces inflammation and aspiring, which relieves pain.

Let's Pray
Sweet Father, I pray that You will give me the discernment to hear Your voice in my life. When I'm feeling overwhelmed, please make clear to me what I need to sacrifice in order to be in Your perfect will. Thank You for Your hands of protection that cover me when I'm ministering and catch me when I'm spent. I pray You will be honored in my life as I seek to take up my cross daily and follow You. In Jesus' Name, Amen

my SIL called and asked how to do something on windows media. She was trying to put music on Morgan's mp3 player. Well the mp3 player he has is different. so I headed over to explain how to do it. Well her music from Limewire wasn't going to her media player. I worked on it. Anyway I got passed that part, letting her know I don't know why it won't BUT if we do it this way then we can download music to his mp3. she had to do it this different way in order to work anyway. Well this is what Morgan said. His grandmother won't let him bring the mp3 to my house (where the file is on my computer and I know how to download music on his mp3) because I WAS the one that broke the first one. He said he told her I wasn't the one that broke it. It was the volume control that wouldn't work any more. Not the music. I was so mad. For her to tell a 9 year child that I broke something of his was a lie. To talk to Morgan as if I was a dog made me so mad. I got up and told Stacie I wasn't able to do anything. If Jennie thinks I broke the first one then I shouldn't be touching this one. I got home and told MG that I was mad and what was said. Well he said for me to tell Jennie. Call her and tell her. Don't wait for her to call me. So that is exactly what I did. I was nervous. My hands were shaking. My heart was pounding. When she picked up the phone I told her she hurt my feelings by telling a 9 year old child that I broke his mp3 when it was a lie. She said she didn't say that. Morgan' Lied. She hung up on me. I called right back. I told her I went over Stacie's house to download music and show her how but something wasn't working on the limewire part. But since she told that lie and won't let Morgan bring the mp3 here now he doesn't have any music. And she hurt my feelings telling her grandchild a lie about me. She was wrong. I hung up on her. I didn't want to hear her explanations. I didn't want to hear her mouth at all. My hands were shaking so bad that I couldn't even open a gallon of milk. Then Marty said what did she say. Like he really cared what she said. I told him what exactly was said. I also told him it isn't right for her to talk about me and put kids in the middle. If she hates me that is fine. I don't care but don't put kids in the middle. Kelsey said Mom it will be ok. I told her I know it will be ok. Because now she knows she can't just talk about me the way she does to you kids and get away with it. I really really can't stand that woman. It is about time I stood up for myself. No need of waiting on others to do my dirty work. She will know for now on that I won't be talk about like that and I won't be run over.

Ok the cord I spoke about earlier. Well it didn't work worth a flip. I guess because it is an old cord. So last night while I was at walmart I bought a small speaker box for the same price of a cord. Now this morning when I plug my mp3 into it, it turns out one of the speakers doesn't work. So now I have to take it back tonight when I head down the mountain. I really hate when that happens. I hate taking anything back. But I will this because I won't both speakers to work

Kc is going throught this stage of really wanting privacy. she gets aggravated when i ask her what she is doing. she is taking attention to herself more. this is all good but I feel as though she is pulling away from me. I guess this has to happen but I don't have to like it. She is all i have. She is my only child.

He has $120 left. guess what? We have barely anything to eat. I asked him early what does he want me to go to town to pick up to eat (at the grocery store) he said he had no money. He had 100 to pay for a hood for his fucking car and only 20 let for the rest of the week. Well what the heck are we going to eat till then?
