Hey Everyone Well the power fiasco lasted pretty much exactly 19 hours- we lost power Friday evening around 820 something and it came back around 320 something on Saturday afternoon - We had left my moms a little before 330 and when we got here it had been on about 8 minutes or so- we could hear the a/c units running and when we looked up towards our dining room we could see the light on so that was great. We had finally got an update that it was supposed to be back by 4 but I was a non believer at that point lol I had just decided if we didn't have it back I was going to move all the refridgerator goodies to my moms so we didn't loose them. I had just went and got some eggs, milk and a few other things at the store with my mom on Thursday so.. It sucked though because my mom and dad ended up leaving later than they were supposed to and with stopping a few times for things we actually left and came back home about 20 min before they got home. It was a really weird day being … [Read more...]

power outage :(
Hey Everyone Well...I am writing to you via tablet at my mom and dads with Marley beside me while we lounge on the Lazy Boy Lounge Chair... My parents aren't at home- they had went out of town yesterday to virginia to visit my grandparents and what not. David went back home just a few minutes ago to check on Sam. Yesterday evening about 8 or so we started getting a really really powerful rain storm- thunder, lightening and the works. Well.. it was a bit sketchy and Marley had started to act a little bit weird beforehand but the rain was like.. WHOA...anyways the power flicked one time and had just came back when it went out totally around 830 and NEVER came back. It was so early and we were so bored and hot we finally just gave up and went to bed. .. We had a very hot restless night and about 7 this morning we gathered up electronics and whatnot and headed over here to see if my mom and dad have power. I figured they would because in the 15 years we have had this house they … [Read more...]
is it really wed?
Hey Everyone Well I have been a bit quiet today because I finally realized part of my whole sleeping a whole lot more than I should be thing might not only be heat related- but also because today marks 6 years since my great grandma died. I was 26 and she was basically the first person that I was close to/loved that died and it took me almost 2 years to properly deal with her dying and sometimes I still don't think that I have made it though the grieving process the "right way" but then people say there isn't a "right way". Anyways I guess in my subconscious that has been there the past few days so it makes a bit more since to me. I know I was awake pretty much since 230 this morning on and off. I did manage to not nap but I did lay with Marley for a little while around 1:00. Needless to say not much has got done around here- but like I keep saying - not much really NEEDS to be done so...actually I do need to make the bed and finish up dinner (heat up some potatoes and green … [Read more...]
Heat, Sleeping Too Much and getting through the fireworks
Have you ever got to the point where you are quite sure you are sleeping too much? I know it sounds crazy but from time to time I know that I do it even though I don't mean too! I mean I started going to bed with David around 10:30 and most mornings when he leaves at 6:30 or so I could very likely be o.k. to get up and get the day started but I really don't have that much that I need to get done so I have been sleeping in - which granted I now get up around 9 vs when I used to not get up till 11 but still... Then by 2 I am dying for a nap! With inactivity and maybe a smidge of boredom and a bit of lazy- well it all mixes together there and I need to find some ways to put some pep in my day. Sure I have a few reviews but 2 I just got and 2 I am having to try out a bit longer than usual so.. that only really leaves 1 and I will likely have it fixed up by the weekend! Saturday David and I went to the Christian Ministries since we were both actually up once early on a saturday- well … [Read more...]
Friday Rambles
Hey Everyone Well - today so far I am eating bacon in a salad- of course I don't eat pork but Walmart has started having my beef bacon back in stock so I have been stocking up on it lol. I think the last time i had it was over 3 years ago! I am wanting some fries so I might ditch the salad and bake some. It is weird to say bake when it comes to fries but when I got my instant pot I ditched my fryer for counter space - plus I was always getting steam burnt on the blasted thing! I gave it my mom - the funny thing is we haven't had it in months and last weekend when Davids dad was over he's like I would have liked to have had that fryer you all had. I was like in a hair of being like well I gave it to my mom because she takes us places, watches marley, buys our groceries and has on ocassion helped with car payments and what not but I kept my mouth shut lol- sometimes it is hard though! Davids brother got a job working at a grocery store that I can't believe with that whole … [Read more...]
