Horace found him a Bed....

I have recently bought new pillows for my daughter and myself. I was also going to continue using the old ones because they are not completely worn out. But my cat Horace decided that this one pillow will be his bed from now on. Every day he runs in my room to make sure its still here. You can tell he runs through the house because he stomps.


Sleep tight...

Usage of Cell Phones......Hang up and Drive.

At times like these we tend to forget the most important things. Like for instance who we are what matters in our lives, our jobs, our children, our families. It can really make you think about some things. The one thing I do know is death isn't one that is easy to get over. But do you know if you are ready. I am, Thursday a person I knew died in a car accident, she was using her cell phone and not paying attention and pulled out infront of a vehicle and was struck. Here is the link to the report about the accident, also its been all over the news in my local area.
This scares me because I see people everyday and countless times a day using cell phones while driving. You can prevent this from happening. "Hang up and Drive" I lost an acquaintance. I did not know her well and surely not well enough. But my friend was the car behind her and she witnessed the whole incident. Misty is traumatized because she thought that could have been her. I pray right now for her and the girls family that died. It is a scary thought. Yes I could have been one of us, who knows when the Lord will come calling.
God of power and mercy, you have made death itself the gateway to eternal life. Look with love on our dying brother/sister, and make him/her one with Your Son in His suffering and death, that, sealed with the blood of Christ, he/she may come before you free from sin. Amen.

I am back!!

I swear there isnt anything out there right now that can keep me down. Im happy to be back to myself again, now if i can get off the doctors restrictions i will be happy.

To those who have no idea what im talking about I had surgery Friday April 11, 2008. It was a scarey one. One that i found out that isnt something to fool around with. Its a cancer that nearly killed my mother. Starts in the cervix then spreads rapidly to the rest of the female organs. Ive been lucky enough to catch it in the beginning stages. Yes it was cancer, not HPV. I mightve had traces of the HPV virus but they couldnt tell because it was already turned to cancer within the period of three months. Too freaky for me.


So I went ahead had them remove what they could find so far now we sit back and watch if it comes back i have to have a total hysterectomy, then if not well we will wait and see what really happens.

My doctor told me he has never see something spread so fast like this before. Scared me to hear that. So Ladies or whoever reads this please get your checkups and take care of yourself.

It is important.



I am a single mom, with hardly any family around (no dont feel sorry for me im just independant) I chose to live out away from all of my family. I love where i grew up and i enjoy it here. But im just telling you something.........................when life gets us down there are friends and family out there that will lend a helping hand, a gentle shoulder, and the comfort of a listening ear. Trust in those, they are closer than you think even when you live so far away.

I want to thank all my etsy friends in the etsy street team. They have really been there for me through this whole ordeal. Its great to know there are people out there who still will call you "Friend"....

take care and blessings from me

My Gift......




The past few days, actually the whole week last week was a horrible one for the two of us. Casey and I have been getting closer I guess you could say and I suppose its gotten to the part that we cannot go one week without seeing each other as often as we want to.




Spring break was the week of March 24 to March 25, and both of our kids were out of school. Man it was rough, my daughter didnt want to do anything.


And his wanted to act up is what we mainly complained about when we talked on the phone. A few minutes of just peace and quiet would have been nice but its been so busy for the both of us all week.


Including the weekends tacked on each end of spring break that the kids are home anyway from school. Yea not fun just crazy. The one weekend we were supposed to have with each other and not have kids was the weekend my daughter was supposed to spend with her dad. Uhhhh nope didnt happen.




Her dad decided not to get her that weekend. Not fair on my part, I really wanted to spend that special time with Casey, in fact we needed it. We have been fussing and arguing for a while and finally realized we needed some alone time to just go out and have fun and spend time with each other other than just hanging out at my house or seeing each other at work......




No..Im not saying its my daughters fault, she couldnt help it. But it bothered us. So finally friday (march 28) I suppose I calmed down. A bit I still want my special time arent I allowed to be greedy about this. We hardly ever get this. Been going out for almost a year and only went on two dates, No its not fair but how can it be changed.




We had a really and i mean really huge fight Back to me saying about Friday. He text me telling me to check my mail box.


Given the fact that we both still had our children (no they havent met and we dont bring them around each other yet) So I had a little surprise in my mail box when I got home.

It was so sweet even though he couldnt give it to me in person he sent it that way. It to me was a little bit better than giving a gift in person kind of like a surprize.
He knew I am Irish, by blood decent. Im an american and always will be. But he knows how true I am to my family roots.
Told me that peice made him think of me so he bought it for me.
Its the sweetest thing he or anyguy has ever done. Im grateful he is in my life right now. Hopefully I will have him around for a long time.
