Heading to FLORIDA in → 6 hours←..

Scott and I was out selling Swagger and found out his dad is in really bad shape. We are leaving for Florida at 6am. Its sad and I feel bad for Scott and for his step mom. But most of all his dad.

As you guys know I am running behind on everything. I won't be getting weekend notes up either. Just grab a sales paper and look at what sales are going on. Instead of blogging much tonight, I am busy packing... Lots and Lots to do before I get to bed. I am waiting on laundry now but I have most of my stuff packed. I think we are only going to be there a couple days. Really we are not sure. So much depends on his father. He is elderly with Parkinson's Disease and is having all kinds of serious problems. My grandmother as has the beginning stages of it and I have to be really careful what I say to her about him because I don't want to scare her.. and I have to talk to her tomorrow.. so yea.. that's another aspect that is upsetting.

We are in no way prepared for this trip. We just decided on it 5 hours ago. Scott wants to say goodbye to his father and that is understandable, so that's why we are going. With him doing much more at work now, we can't stay the entire week. We will be there for a few days ( I think ) and then if need be fly back later. I have a ton of questions right now.. he tried answering them the best he could.. but this is the type of situation.. when its hard because its not planned. Is that terrible. It seems I can't do anything that not written down on my calender. I am just having to wing it.. and wow is that hard. We just got home around 10 pm and I am cleaning, doing laundry, packing, leaving notes for the house sitter..

I was not happy with Scott last night.. and 2 of my girlfriends are having trouble tonight.. Is it in the water or what??? And we are all pretty close to each other. Scott and I are much better today. But it goes to show... life is hard. Its not easy.. its not the easy that defines us.. Its when we are a mess and in doing the best we can in the hardest of times is what defines us. I think all 3 of us girls will be just fine.. and with that said..

Back to getting things ready.. plus I want a hot bath.. So going to squeeze that in and finish up.. 6 am is going to come fast.. Clearly I will blog when I can.. I ask if you are reading this.. please keep my father in law - Mr. Jaggers - in your prayers. I think now.. the most important thing to do is keep him from any pain and leave this world when God and he are ready.

Love,

K Jaggers

Blessed Dreams to ALL

Hello friends. Its a late night here - shocker huh? - and I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving and a great Friday!!

I will try to not make this post too long, but no promises!!

For the most part, Scott and I had a very lazy day. We were lounging in the bed till after 3 pm. We had coffee, snacked up eventually ended up in bed watching tv! As you can see from the picture above, we were not too cleaned up today but I had to get a Thanksgiving picture! We don't have to look beautiful all the time.. because to each other we are beautiful every day in every moment. Cheesy but true!

We took off to town and was heading to dinner and ended up stopping by our friends, Rick and Karen's for a few minutes to say hi!

They already have..

their tree up!!

with a pretty little star on top! She was busy decorating while I was there!

We hadn't seen them in a while and it was nice hanging out. Her laptop is on the fritz and I brought it home to see if I could help... nope. I think its over heating and causing all kinds of problems. Wish I could have done more, but I feel a little better about her taking it some where after looking at it.

Anyway, Scott and I headed out to Golden Corral for dinner. It was busy there all day. We got there a little late, about an hour before closing and it wasn't too bad. I didn't want to go here. I really didn't. However, I put off finding a restaurant and making reservations so this was husby's suggestion.

But here is some fun Thanksgiving Facts..

Yep.. we are a part of that statistic this year.

I got there. Buffets as long as the building..

I got mostly " Thanksgiving Type " food but I did mix in a little Chinese too!

Plus a plate of other goodies.

I don't know what kind of veggie casserole this was..

but I loved it.

By then it was time to head to the dessert bar.

That chocolate fountain had my name all over it.

I couldn't wait to get a whole bunch of goodies!

Is this not beautiful.. All kinds of yummy things in chocolate..

Everything from pineapple, strawberry's, marshmallows, rice crispy treats, macaroons, and cake.

I was in heaven. I made a complete mess. I had chocolate all over me from my ears to my nose and it was just bliss..

Scott was just laughing left and right taking the napkin and wiping my face for me!

After the first plate was almost gone, he thought it was time to leave.. NOT.. I wanted more chocolate covered pineapple. He wanted me to leave the tip but I refused until he got me more dessert!!

Long and behold he came back with

only 3 because we got kicked out of the chocolate fountain because they were closing it. That's ok.. I had had enough and if I would have stayed longer, I would have definitely ate more chocolate! This was better than cooking and cleaning. I wasn't exhausted at all with the day. This was not the restaurant I wanted. I was thinking white liens but surprisingly it was rather good.

What I did miss was my family and Scott's family. This year we all pretty much stayed in our own areas of the country and only spent Thanksgiving with who was in our immediate lives. I have to say, I rather didn't like it and hopefully next year we will all be together. I missed the kids too. Of course I didn't hear from my father.. He better watch out, with all he's doing, he might just win the father of the year award. Sorry.. just had to say it. One I thing I have learned is that I will not treat my kids like he treats his. No way, No how. It would have been nice to hear from him but I didn't figure I would. Whore Hope was only there an hour or so, and unable to really rub off on the kids during that time. Like I said, she has her own family.. I just wish she would stick with them and leave mine alone. She might be blood but all that went the window years ago. I try to not speak of her too much anymore because she is just not worth my time or thoughts but she imposed herself tonight and that's nothing new. Glad I don't have to think about her anymore for a while. I don't really hide my feelings to anyone about her and it was kinda funny because tonight Brittany and I were just giggling about her. When all else fails.. LAUGH!!

We made our way back home and saw one of our neighbors house all

decorated up. Does that not look like the most beautiful American house. I actually think I will go back another night and video it because this picture just doesn't do it justice. Its Beautiful and I love it!

I am finishing the night off with

a wonderful glass of eggnog.

And Gizmo is

laying here beside of me all tuckered out from our big Thanksgiving day!

I am thankful for so many things. I have a beautiful family and even though we didn't all spend Thanksgiving together we all talked many times through out the day which made it easier. I really did miss my mom and I don't know if I am going to spend another Thanksgiving or Christmas without her again. I didn't like it. I almost teared up at dinner because she wasn't with me. Sounds crazy right? She can be one of the biggest pains in my ass but I sure love her to death and I don't like not spending holidays with her. Last year we were at her house for Christmas and I am really really happy this year she is coming here and next year, we will have to go back! I love Scott's family too and you know what's great is, we have just mingled the two families right together on more than one occasion and it has worked out great! I missed his mom today too. I think many of us would have given anything to have her here with us. I am sure she was with each and everyone of us in spirit. I know she was. Same goes for my grandfather and brother. They all surrounded us with love.

Even though, I missed a lot of people, my life with Scott is enough. I know if it was just US for the rest of our lives, I would be ok. I prefer our families but it is just us, that's ok too. My home is where he is and that makes me extremely thankful. My wish is everyone feels the love in their lives like I feel for him. however, he was annoying the shit out of me today with his bad tv and messes that he likes to make. He cooked himself an omelet and didn't clean anything up. But I went right behind him and got it straightened back up! Being messy is just part of my hubsy that I don't know if I will ever be able to change!

~  On To Blogger Notes ~

I got an email today about some of the pictures I have been posting lately of housewives back in the 1950's. The first wanted to know what my inspiration is or was and where am I finding the pictures at?

( I would just copy and paste the email but I am too lazy right now! )

Maybe a month or so ago I watched Mona Lisa Smile. I hadn't seen it in years and when I watched I was really taken by the time, the look, the attitudes, and I am just kinda following that lead a little bit. I have just been searching online for pictures an magazines from the 50's and 60's and the more I read the more consumed with the time, I get. I love the pen curls, the make up, the clothes, the housewife attitude, I love it all. So I am sure you will be seeing more pictures from those times. Clearly these are not my own pictures and if you like them, feel free to click on them and save. I am not near as picky as most bloggers when it comes to pictures. I don't mind a bit if someone uses something off this blog. I prefer that my exact words are not posted but I am not going to make a huge deal out of it either which way. But yes, I am finding more and more pictures from the 50's and you will be seeing them in upcoming post!

--------------------------------------------------------

I also changed up the blog a little bit. I took A LOT of stuff off. I was tired with how full of crap it was. I am sorry if I deleted your pets pictures but I figured they belong on the kitty blog, not this one. I also changed labels to a " cloud " and the archives of this blog are now in a drop down menu that you can find right under the " I LOVE SCOTT BLINKIE " Its a lot smaller now, you will have to look for it.

-------------------------------------------------------

I did get the THANKSGIVING MARRIED LIFE POST up today so if you haven't checked it out.. please do and send me your thoughts - kishajaggers@aol.com -

-----------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of that post, I have added some new links at the top of the right hand column. You will see the link for the WEEKEND NOTES first and then you will see one for - Married Life  - , - Our Cattery -, and for our - fairytale-. Just click the pictures and you will get to the either the post or the websites. Pretty easy stuff and looks much better now instead of the way it was!

----------------------------------------------------------

I do think I am going to change up the big picture at the top tomorrow night sometime. I will probably leave the tree picture but add it to a new frame that I like better!

--------------------------------------------------------

About Black Friday.. I know its late, but I am not staying up, just to go shopping. I did post a lot of the Black Friday information for you guys but for me, I don't like to get out in the cold, early in the morning to go shop. I just don't care for it. I do have to shop tomorrow but I am hoping to miss the crowds. I am going to go to CVS and see what I can find on sale, and I am also going to do some shopping for household, and do maybe a little Christmas shopping. Not sure about that yet. I also have  to spend the evening paying bills. Yep, doesn't that SUCK!! I am just glad to be able to pay them all.. thank you baby! I wonder how many of you guys are going Black Friday shopping. I would love it if you emailed me and let me know if you found any incredible deals!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Well friends, I am heading to bed and will talk talk to you when I get up. I will have a busy day tomorrow so I won't be doing much blogging till the evening!

Hope everyone has a GREAT FRIDAY!!

xoxo

The Night before THANKSGIVING!!

Hello friends!! I found this wreath online and wanted to share it with you and what a better time than the night before Thanksgiving!!



Is this not adorable..



All it is,







painted clothes pins on a wire wreath frame ( you can get from craft store )



And you hang the cute little sign in the middle



and..







anyone that comes in and out of your house writes what they are thankful for on a clothes pin.



I LOVE THIS..



And if you don't have a lot of people coming in and out, then just do it once a day yourself or have husby do it when he comes and goes. I will for sure have one of these hanging either on my door or in my house next November.



Anyway, hope everyone had a great day. I have to admit, I have had better days myself. I had a melt down at the grocery store today. I was grumpy with Scott all day, grumpy with the animals, grumpy with family and it just was not a day I want to repeat, that's for sure. I am going to work hard on not making tomorrow anything like today. I really wanted to tell Brittany to spill her drink on her but thats not a good example and I didn't do it.. but it sure crossed my mind!



It was just not my day. I got into an argument with an uncle via facebook over him being a fool and actually had the nerve to tell me what I could or couldn't say. Yea.. that's going to work out for him.  I also found out that my children are going to be around whore Hope for Thanksgiving at my fathers. Wow.. what a slap in the face. Just in case you don't know that the cousin of mine who had an affair with my ex husband. I swear I would love to just take her in a plane, drop her off over South Africa with a parachute and no passport and tell her to never come back. Sigh.. Its just a test and I am just not going to think about it. Hopefully the little disloyal gathering will not last long and my kids won't have to put up with her for any length of time. Funny thing is, she has a father.. why does she have to keep coming around my family? Gosh.. she's like a little bug that drives you crazy,  that needs to be swatted.



I am going to focus on the good rather than the bad for the rest of the night and tomorrow. Husby is home of course and I want to make it the best day for us that I can. I really wish we would have headed North for Thanksgiving but I guess it's best to just have a holiday to ourselves every once in a while. I am lucky that he is taking me out instead of cooking.  I know its not the same as being around a bunch of family but its still nice not having all that stress and mess! I didn't make any reservations any where and husby came home with the bright idea of going to Golden Corral for Thanksgiving dinner. I was not too pleased with that idea but... I think it might just be good and I am going to give it a shot! I will take some pictures and let you guys know how it is! I really wish my mom was here. I miss her on holidays but Christmas is right around the corner and she is going to be here. Actually she is going to be all over the place because they are doing a ton of traveling over the holidays but she will be here Christmas eve and for 4 additional days. LOVE THAT! I think my sister is still coming too!



I feel like a mess tonight. I hope this passes with a good nights sleep. I should be blogging about being grateful and not bitching! I am grateful for the life I have, even on days I am not so happy. I have a beautiful husband who loves me as much as I love him. I have beautiful children and a beautiful family. What else could a girl want! And.. I have..



My beautiful babies to be grateful for too!

Picture of Swagger from today

Here is Gizmo's picture also from today

Sweet pea hanging out while I worked on the computer today

And here is Ferinand being lazy tonight..

How sweet is that face!?

While I picked up some groceries tonight at that dreadful market...

I also got a couple of things that make me happy..

Good bath reading material..

and a new pen!

Both made me happy.

And in an effort to be in a better mood, I fixed.

Pasta for dinner.

Here is the new Barilla Pasta Sauce that just hit the shelves the past couple of weeks.

As you can see,

thick and

rich with a beautiful color.

I got the

pasta dropped, garlic bread popped in the oven

and

dinner was served!

Couldn't forget the cheese

Does this not look delish!?

This bite was pure bliss for me!

And it did help to put me in a better mood!

Well for a little while anyway.. Scott and I were watching a movie when I told him I couldn't wait till it was over, so I could go get in a hot bath. So what does he do?? He jumps up about 10 minutes before the movie and gets in the shower.. I wanted to SCREAM at him but I didn't. I watched the end of the movie and went and got in the bath. He didn't really appreciate that but I didn't appreciate him stealing all the hot water from me either. I didn't have as much hot water as I would have liked but I had enough. And my bath felt amazing anyway.. with no fighting over the hot water!

Afterwards, I came down stairs and started playing around online. I also organized my favorites which were like 200 websites and that took me over an hour and a half to make new folders and sort them all out. I also backed them up in case something happened and I lost them, which has happened before.

Tomorrow I doubt I will be blogging a lot. I will have a few post up but that's probably about it. I am going to be doing a Thanksgiving MARRIED LIFE post too! But it should be a day of being with family and loved ones and sharing what you are grateful for. I know it sounds Corny but we all should EAT, PRAY, LOVE.. No, I am not talking about actually watching the movie but follow those 3 key steps for the day! I promise I will be in a better mood tomorrow!!

I wonder how many of you guys are putting your turkey's in the oven tonight!? I know my sister in law is putting hers in to cook all night at 250. Boy, I have a story about the last Turkey she cooked but I will wait to tell it. I think this is only her 2nd time cooking a big turkey and I am sure she will do a great job!

Well this grump is calling it a night.

Sweet Dreams..

♥ How BLESSED I Really Am ♥

It hasn't been a stressful day. In fact, it was very much the opposite. I have to admit that being home is where I am happiest. Making my own schedule, doing what I want for the most part and spending the day with my beautiful kittens. I don't know how much more in love with my husband I can get for giving me this life. Its truly a gift. Yes, I know that sounds mushy but its really how I feel. I was talking the other night with a online friend and pen pal about how so many women out there would kill to live like we do. Yes, she is a stay at home wife too. We both complain sometimes about things like how messy our husband's are, how we are always feeling like maids, or how the world sees us as " kept " women. Like I told her, we have great lives. Yes we feel like maids at times, cooks at other times, a dry cleaner, a pet sitter, and the list can go on and on. But for us and women who stay home our job is to find the charm in chores, the love in cooking, and knowing at being a stay at home wife is a very big deal. We are the CEO's of our homes. And nothing is more important than that. Nothing.



I don't know why I am thinking of this right now. I guess its because I really feel blessed. I look around my home and I know my husband has worked for almost everything in it. My mom has also blessed me with tons of great things and all those things sit around here with things I have had all my life. But for the most part, it's been my husby who has provided everything for me. I look at my cats and think about the joy they bring me. Who got me those cats? That beautiful husband of mine.



I went upstairs a few minutes ago and I looked into the bedroom and saw him laying in the bed. I still think he is the most attractive man in the world. I'm serious. I don't know how this life happened. He picked me. I didn't pick him at first. He was there to pick me up with everything had fallen apart and from the MOMENT I took his hand, he never let go.



We all have ups and downs. I mean he was ready to kill me a few days ago for the dog going missing on my watch.. But let me tell you the words that have never come from either of our mouths.



I don't love you



I hate you



I wish we were not together



and



I love someone else



Those words have never came from our lips in 8 years. Never not once. I think we both like spending time with each other more than anyone else and when we are apart, we are wishing we were with each other. It was YEARS before I ever spent one night away from him. Even the first time, when I went to see my mom in Florida I was scared being without him. I couldn't think of anything else while I was there. I have never in my life known a love like this. I have been in love before but this man, this life, these feelings are completely different.



I don't ever want it to end. I really don't. However, if it ended tomorrow I know that the love would live on in me. I doubt I could really go on but I know that everything I am now is because the help of him. He has helped me grow, helped me learn so many new things, helped me see things that I normally would shut my eyes to ( he's a republican! ) , and all those experiences has made me a better person. A lot of times, people don't understand our relationship. Husby complains a lot.. not always about me but just is kinda a bitchy guy! I don't even see it like that anymore but to people who are not use to him, that is the way he comes off. But I see a different man. And he melts my heart.



I still have a ton of insecurities but he keeps knocking them down and reminding me that our life is not just blessed its by choice. We are together from the choices we made and stay together with the choices we will make.

Between him , my children and my family- mainly the women in my life ( my mother, sister, grandmother, and Scott's sister ) are the people that make me who I am. They have ALL been so instrumental in my life. My sister is younger than I am. By about 10 years but even she has inspired me. My mom and I talk 4-5 times a day. She is as loyal and as loving as mom that anyone could wish for. Yes there are days we totally disagree but that's ok too. My grandmother is one of my best friends and she has taught me many lessons. Scott's sister has been there for me for years and my children are the best things I ever done. THESE ARE MY BLESSINGS. The people who have passed like my grandfather, Scott's mother, friends have also been my blessings and now they look over me and I really believe that they are part of why I am so happy and blessed now.



When I say happy.. I don't always mean on a daily basis, I go around with a smile on my face 24 hours day. What I mean is. I am happy when I lay my head down at night and feel the love all those people give me. The world stopped being a war when I stopped fighting. I am still feisty and very opinionated and out spoken but I don't carry around anger with me anymore. Its gone and its mainly because my husband has loved me, cherished me, and made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.



I know so many of you are wanting this life I have. I know it. And my advice to you is this.



Say your prayers and wait.



 It will happen if you allow it and want it. I had no idea that I would get this life. None. I hated my ex husband even when I vowed to love him forever. I was unhappy and I was ashamed of my life at that time. That has passed. I don't take for granted one second. I am not a fake person. I tell people who I love that I love them and I try my hardest to show it. Its not just about receiving love and blessings. Its about giving love too. I am sure Scott would tell you that he has never been loved by another woman as I love him. I would follow him to the end the earth. In good times and in bad. And when its hard and I feel like giving up, all I have to do is look at him and all the love comes sweeping up on me like nothing else. I can't stay mad at him for very long. I don't want to waste time fighting or arguing over things that really don't matter. He's worth it all to me. I will fight for him, for us, forever. The same for my family. They are my world and they are what matters most.



 What I want is to make all the best memories I can with the time I have.



I wish this for all of you too.



With all that said.. this happy, in love, blessed girl is going to bed.



Sweet Dreams

Hello Friday!!

Afternoon everyone!

It feels like just a little while since I blogged last. Its just terrible falling asleep lately. I woke up to my mom calling.. She called once.. I didn't answer.. She called back.. I answered.. told her I was still sleeping.. and then my friend texted me so it seemed like I was suppose to get up. Well, I talked to my mom.. She was very upset over something that happened last night. I can't go into the details on here.. but if you are reading this, please say a prayer for my family. I don't wake up too often to my mom crying and I can tell you now.. it broke my heart. No matter how angry or how many fights we had in the past, I love her and when she is upset or hurting.. I get upset and I actually get a little angry that she is having to deal to with something that is upsetting her so much. But everyone is ok now...thank goodness!

I just got done feeding all the cats and boy do they have some food energy..they are running around here like they are in a race.. They are leaping and jumping on the furniture.. running circles around the dog and just raising all kinds of hell! Their energy will run out pretty quick and before I know it they will all crash out for a long afternoon nap! I told Scott last night that I don't intend on quiting breeding them. He basically just smiled. He knows how much happiness they bring me and that just makes me love him more! I mean to find a man who loves all my cats as much as I do is just a blessing from God!!

I don't have that many plans today. I need to toss laundry around.. pick up the house a little but that's about it. Its been raining all night and the wind is blowing..you can barley tell that the sun is out and its not even 60 here today.. So the fireplace is going and I am staying home today. I am going to do my very best to stay away from CVS today!! God knows, I am in there enough! I will have the swatches up from the new lipsticks that I got in Yesterday's Haul and in a week or so, I will get a review up on what I really think of them! I have a ton of products that I want to get reviewed for you guys. I know I have been doing a lot of beauty post on here lately.. All of you know by now, its one of my passions. I love it. I do use some high end make up but most of the time now, if I can find something at a drug store for a cheaper price that works just as well.. I choose that. I like to find things that I don't have to go to a mall to get or order online. And from a lot of the emails I get.. I know that a lot of you ladies like the beauty post too!

I do have one post that I am going to be writing soon that would fall into the Married Life category but I am going to write it and just add it to it even though its not going to be posted on Thursday. I really want to try to stick to one post a week about married life but I saw something on tv a few weeks ago that kinda shocked me and then just a few minutes ago I saw something else on tv that is like a follow up to the first thing I saw.. So with that said.. Be looking for that post later today or tonight.. Its another hot topic that I think many of you are going to be able to relate to.

If you didn't check out this weeks Married Life Post please please click → HERE ←  to read it.. I am already getting lots of feedback on it and I want to hear your thoughts on it.. So read it.. then send me an email to kishajaggers@aol.com and let me know your thoughts. If you agree with it or disagree with it.. is fine with me! I just want to hear all your thoughts on the topic!!

I hope everyone has a great Friday!!

I will be back in a bit to talk more with you!!

Tired..

Hello.. Hope everyone had a great Thursday..

Nothing too interesting went on around here. Did  A LOT of laundry.. and that made me feel really good. Last night I was complaining about the mess and disorder of the laundry room and tonight I can say.. Its all organized and laundry is done! Wooooooo-hooooooo!!! It basically took all day to do it. but now wont have to worry about it until we come back from the wedding on Sunday.

Tomorrow I am going to be super busy.. I have to go shopping.. Find a dress to wear, get things for the animals for while we are away, pick up Scott tux, go by the post office.. and I know I am forgetting things. Once the night comes upon us.. I have to get our bags packed. And Saturday morning we take off! From what Scott was telling me tonight, it suppose to be pretty cool down there on Saturday. The wedding is taking place outside in a park around 6 or 630 pm. So its going to be chilly! But one thing that really made me happy tonight is that I remembered I have a bran new beautiful black bubble jacket that my mom got me a while ago. I haven't wore it yet so this will be the perfect time to get it out and wear it! Soooo exciting!

Our friends are going with us. It was just going to be them but something happened to the baby sitter and they are bringing their son along. I am not sure how well he is going to like it but hopefully he has a good time. There should be other kids at the wedding for him to play with. Fingers crossed he is good and takes it easy on his mom! She really wanted to go and didn't find out about the babysitter ( its actually her ex ) until last minute. I would rather they came and just make the best out of this romantic weekend. I just worry that it won't be too romantic with a little boy there but I am sure they will figure it all out! I think we settled upon driving separate. With us smoking, I didn't think it would be good to put her in the car with us. She is pregnant and that just won't be good for her. I am kinda hoping the guys take over babysitting a little more and give her a little time to herself. I think she deserves the break!

Well back to tonight. .

Our dinner was very very simple..

Yummy pancakes.. I was just craving them so that's what we made.. And to me it was delicious! Scott seemed to like them too. We sat back and watched Grey's Anatomy and just hung out before he went and climbed into the bed. He was tired tonight. The computers shut down at the dealership today and it was a lot of work selling cars without being able to get online. I mean, he can do it.. Has done it many times in the past when he needed to but it just makes things that much harder.

So sorry I didn't get the comments and questions up about the Horizion Organic Milk Post. I wish I would have gotten around to that today but honestly.. I forgot.. and that's crazy because I got 2 emails about it today also.. but for whatever reason..it slipped my mind. So I doubt that it will be at least Sunday night before I get them posted. It could even be Monday. If you haven't read the post.. just click the link above and check it out. There is a lot of great information about organic milk and I am hoping you will maybe change the kind of milk you drink after reading it!

I have already prepared the Fill in the blank Friday post.. so I will get that up asap tomorrow.. but since I am going to be super busy.. check out the other post from this week..

Another Wet Night..

The rain is really coming down right now.. Its 219 am and I need to get to bed soon.. but I thought I would say hi.. I am trying to wait on the washer to finish so I can switch it over before bed.. Should be done soon!

Anyway.. the weather has been wet to say the least.. For the last few days, its been coming down.. I love it.. but it sure makes for messy floors when you have animals going out and coming back in. I have been cleaning all day and into the evening too.. I did have to take a break because I let Super Cooper out around 3ish and he didn't get back home till after 10 pm.. Scott was pretty upset. I guess I should have stood out there with him or put him on his lead.. but I didn't..  We were really worried about maybe the dog police picking him up.. Also Giovanni is missing in action too. I figure they took off together and Cooper just got back first.. Giovanni is still out.. Not too happy about that.. But I am sure he is fine.. He has been having a blast exploring the outdoors.. and with winter coming.. he will have to come back into the house soon. I am seriously thinking about changing up one of the guest rooms to the cat room where they all can stay. Not sure yet, but really like the idea of having all them in one place!

I have been working on the foundation post.. There are a ton of pictures and they are uploaded now.. I am working on actually writing it. I hope to have it done over the weekend sometime. Most of it is my thoughts on particular drug store foundation. I like a good foundation and I have found many in the drug stores that I like.. That sure helps when it comes to saving money. Hopefully from this post, you will come away with a few new ideas about what would work good for you too. So stay tuned!

I have a couple of real fun tags coming up too! I am trying to get back into the swing of things on here but I am still trying to get the house together; let alone keeping it clean, raise these kittens, look for part time work, and spend time with my husband and friends. There just seems to not be a lot of time left for me some days!



Ohhh.. I plan on starting a new Friday Tradition.. ~ Fill in the Blank Friday ~ and you will get that first post of the new blog series starting tomorrow! Should be a lot of fun and hopefully it will help you guys who are new to this blog and even some loyal followers and friends a chance to find out something new things about me! I got this suggestion from a good blogging friend and I think it will be a great addition for this blog! So stay tuned for that tomorrow!

I cleaned most of the day.. This house is big so cleaning it takes more time that our last house did. I am not finished.. I still have to work around here tomorrow too. But I have to run errands tomorrow and get a few things from the store..

So here is some more interesting news..

My sister in law was just married yesterday! She had a small ceremony at the Justice of the Peace on Wednesday!! So happy for them! Wish we could have been there but we were there in Spirit! She went from Miss Trina Jaggers to MRS TRINA O'NEIL.. Love that!!

Also.. some sad news..

One of my friends who was pregnant.. lost her baby today ~ Thursday ~. It was rather harder to know she lost it. I felt horrible. Her husband and herself are broken hearted over it so please keep them in your prayers. I just know they will try again in the coming months and end up having a beautiful family.

I also have another friend who is also pregnant. Don't want to say too much yet but things seem to be going well so far. So as soon as she lets me talk about it, I will show you the ultra sound and tell you more about it! She has so much going on in her life right now.. and getting ready to move in with that special someone to also start their family together. Exciting!

We also have Laura's Wedding coming up really soon too! We will be heading to Tenn for the wedding weekend a week from tomorrow ~ Friday ~.. Another thing that is super exciting! Watching a new young couple start their lives together. I mean, really they already have but they are tying the knot and making it legal! Since they already have a baby.. I couldn't be happier!

It just goes to show you that family is everything. We see it all around us. Family's working through pains, enjoying the blessings, growing and just trying to find their ways. I love it. I think it says a lot that people are still getting married. I know our world is changing and not so many people believe in marriage anymore and personally I think thats sad. I love the idea of building a life with someone you love and having all the legal rights that comes along with getting married. There are so many.. and really what I think marriage means is.. being there.. day in.. day out and sticking it out when things are hard... and not falling out of love with each other at the same time. I don't know how I got so blessed. I have been with my husband for close to 8 years now and from day 1.. when we went out on our first date, we have NEVER split up.. NOT ONE TIME.. I think really what happened is God heard my prayers.. sent me the right man at the right time. I also think my family on the other side helps look over us and our family who is here now, helps guide us when we seem lost. We are all connected.. and family is what matters above all!

Well its late and I need sleep!

Hope you all have a great Friday!!!

Hello Wednesday!!

 

Hello friends..

Hope you are having a great day... I had planned to do a few post yesterday but things came up and I just didn't get around it. Scott came home early and we spent the entire day together... and we needed that time. It rained all day yesterday too..kinda romantic weather!!



After all that drama with the girls at the office.. a relaxing day was really needed. I saw where stalker girl said I called them Drama Queens.. Well thats not what I call them.. Clearly you didn't read that post that you said you did.. I call them the office whores.. So there.. Again.. not Drama Queens. I don't mind that he works with them.. I trust him.. but what I do care about is when it becomes more than work.. I don't think any of them need to be hanging around Scott and discussing their personal lives. I think its wrong.. I made my point and  I am pretty sure we won't have to deal with it again. Thankfully.. and If you did print if off like you said you did.. feel free to post it on your little hate blog.. I don't mind one bit! And your worried you will hurt someone.. Yea ok.. Like that has ever mattered to you! That's actually pretty funny!



Anyway.. Scott made it up to me.. Took me out.. got me a few gifts and made sure to remind me that I don't ever have to worry. I don't really worry about him but I still think at work..you should work.. and not gossip with my husband. What's wrong with that!?



My sister in law is getting married today!!! She is only going to the court house but we are super happy for her! I wish we could have been there to celebrate with her. She has been seeing this man for a while now and she seems really happy with him. After all she has been through, she needs some happiness in your life! I wish I could give her a kitten for a wedding gift but I don't think her new husby likes cats! I would post a picture of them.. but he is also private so that won't be happening unless I blur out his face or something!



Well.. late last night, I manged to pick up the house some.. but still have lots to do.. I am also heading down to the dealership to see Scott while I am out running a few errands. I need to pick up a few groceries and a few kitty supplies. Besides that.. it should be a pretty easy day around here. We had crazy weather yesterday but today the sun is out and its just a beautiful fall day! Love that!





Well.. hopefully I will be back a little later... to chat more!!



Have a great day!!

Pain.. Pain..Pain..

Wow.. is all I can say after the couple of days I have had. First off.. My tooth got worse.. I face swelled all up and Scott ended up taking me to the ER late last night. We knew they couldn't do much for me but I need antibiotics and pain medicine. So they did that and I came home and barley got any sleep from the pain. When I woke up about 5 am my face was huge. It was terrible. So my mom and Scott got busy finding a dentist office for me to go to. I went.. but they couldn't do anything until the infection went down.. but they did give me more meds.

So I have been a doped up painful mess today. Right now its 109 am and I am feeling better right now than I have all day. I am still swollen but not as much and it does still hurt but its tolerable. I am scared it won't last though. I ended up trying to call mom a couple hours ago and I am pretty sure she didn't understand a thing I said. I was still really loopy from the meds. But thankfully I am sobering up a bit and getting ready to get to bed.. again. I am still not able to talk much.. It just hurts to talk.. Mom is leaving for Scotland on Saturday so I am for sure going to make time to talk to her tomorrow. I love that she is going but I am sure going to miss her! As long as she can get online and chat via facebook, email, or just read the blog to know what's going on.. I will be fine. I know its weird but when I am feeling bad.. she is who I want. Scott too of course but there is something about having your mom around when your sick. Even if its via the phone. She sure saved the day with the help with the dentist. I was crying today from the pain and I was scared to death to go but I did it. They only xrayed me and examined me but for me that's a big deal. I actually get panic attacks going into the dentist. And they wouldn't even let Scott back there with me. But before long I was back in the car sleeping all the way home.

Also.. I got a really nice message from my uncle Buddy while I was sleeping tonight. If you are reading this Uncle Buddy.. Thank you.. and you know you can call anytime you need to talk. Send me a picture of that new dog you got too!

The kittens are really starting to want to explore beyond their Rubbermaid home. Right now they are all sound asleep but they are bouncing all over the house now! All 4 have started eating off a plate and even when I feel terrible they sure make me smile. So freaking cute!

Well I am only up for a few minutes. My medication knocks me out. So off to bed I go.

Sweet Dreams everyone. Hopefully I will feel good enough tomorrow to chat with you some more!

Tired..

Really Really long day!! Right now I am already in bed watching tv pondering all I have to do tomorrow.

Packing is going pretty well... its exhausting but its coming along!

This use to be the dining room.. all those boxes on the table are full and the ones on the floor are waiting to be filled up!

Then more stacked against the wall in the corner..

Then a lot of the breakable things from the cabinets found a nice home in their boxes on the couch..

The kitchen is basically done except for the food..

Boxes are piling up going down the hallway..

And just a little bit ago..

I got one of the bedroom closets done..

So I am feeling kinda accomplished! I was talking with Scott tonight and I told him that I had no idea how we are going to get everything packed.. and he actually said..

I'm confidant YOU'LL get it all done!! I could have slapped the shit out of him right then! J/K.. I don't think he has put one thing in a box yet.. Well thats ok.. on moving day his butt is going to be moving all those boxes and the furniture!

I didn't do much today other than pack and blog! I didn't even leave the house till Scott got home.. Then we went out to the grocery to get pizza's for dinner and lets not forget the

beer to go with it.. But baby was having a hard time making up his mind..

but found some he wanted.. and then we were off to load up the boxes.. I love that the store has this special little spot right in the front of the store where anyone can help themselves to as many boxes as they like.. for free of course! I'll get a picture tomorrow when I go back tomorrow to show you guys what I am talking about.

When we were loading up the Nissan Rogue with the boxes a lady noticed the dealer tag and wanted to know if we were buying or selling.. It was kinda funny..

Scott walked right up to her and gave her his card.. Then we went back in for more boxes and she was still waiting with more questions. Of course he talked to her about her car,  about getting another car, and before he walked away he gave her his card of course.. Before I got into a relationship with him, I would have never guessed so many people shop for cars..but they do.. and he finds business every where he goes! He doesn't do all the selling anymore, but he sure has the car business running through his veins!

Our little Nissan was full to the brim with boxes!! And thats just one days worth! Tomorrow I will have to get more.. But I should have enough until he is home from work.. I like him to go with me so I don't have to make a lot of trips to the car.

On to Kitty Cat News..

 ( I posted a couple of these pictures already on facebook but since I know many of you guys out there are not friends with me on facebook so I am going to post them on here too! )

Willow was loving helping me pack up the kitchen cabinets. She was in and out and just having a dandy time playing around up there! I love this picture of her!

Giovanni wasn't too far away either. They all know something is going on with the boxes and all the packing going on!

After Scott was home and after we had dinner, I came back to check on Gabby and the kittens and when I saw her..

holding one of the babys close I had to get a picture!

There is nothing like a mothers love.. even when it comes to kitty cats..

And just a few minutes ago I snapped this picture..

of them all nursing.. They are just too precious.

Willow is still keeping her distance. She is now being nice to Gabby but just doesn't want anything to do with her new brothers and sisters! I am sure that will change..I am not nervous about her trying to hurt them because most of the time she runs away from them all. But right now she is right beside of me watching them!

More thoughts..

I got a bunch of people on facebook and through my email talking about a family member of mine recently getting into trouble and landing herself in jail. I am not going to talk about the details but its a mess.. and she is facing some pretty serious problems. Thank you guys for being kind. I don't agree with what she was doing mainly because the kids were all around.. but I also know she is not her mistakes. She is basically an orphan. Both her parents are gone and she has no one. I live far away and most of the rest of the family ( the few that are left ), dont have much to do with her. I don't like the name that my grandfather was so proud of be plastered all over the news last week. I was actually in Mexico when I started receiving text messages about what happened. I am worried about her and her kids. I have seriously thought about trying to get her up here to Scott and I, if she ever gets out of jail and putting her to work. Scott would hire her.. I know he would do that for me.. but he would work the shit out of her and I am not sure she is willing to put that kind of effort into it. But its a thought. Many people have done, many many good things for me in the past when I was being as destructive as she was and I feel compelled to pay it forward. Last night I wrote her a 7 page letter and included some pictures of her late parents and hopefully some how it helps bring her some comfort. Everyone is upset at her.. rightfully so.. but I just feel sad about it all. I know she can have a better life.. but I am not so sure she will be getting out anytime soon. I will keep you guys posted because I know many of you care.. mainly my facebook friends..please keep her and her children in your prayers. I think she needs love above everything. I am not posting her name on here. The news did enough of that for a lifetime..

Again.. thanks for your concern.

Well I am going to get some sleep.. Its going to be a long day tomorrow..

xoxo
