Hey Everyone So My Allergies/Asthma have been bothering me for the last couple of weeks more than what I have experienced in a long time- Actually my Asthma usually starts up In october but this year I almost made it till December!  The last week or two I have been running the humidifier 24/7 and sometimes I even put breathe blend oil or eucalyptus in this little crockpot thing I have with water (I would put it in the diffuser but that generally has other oils in it for night time- I guess I need to get another one!) Anyways, I have been hacking my head off so I might need to just get out the mypurmist and see if that don't do something for me (I am sure it will I just always tend to forget about it!) Then to top it all off David came home yesterday swearing he was getting sick! The next thing i know he is sniffing and hacking and going on half the night and he like to never went to sleep (and neither did i with all that going on) I hate to say it but I vaguely can feel myself … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well.. David ended up having to work yesterday to make up his time, so there was no trip to my grandmas - which sucks for sure - but Making up his time as much as he could was pretty stinking important too so it was all good. I know that Friday evening I had the house in order, everything pretty much packed and pretty much all i had left to do was take Marley out and take out the trash and David finally sent me the message that he had to work. I was bummed for sure but it just was what it was. I even had "real" clothes on instead of jammies lol. He pretty much worked until 2 yesterday and I slept in for the first time in I don't know when and then I watched lots of tv and hung out with Marley and Sam until he got home. We didn't do a whole awful lot after he did get home but I was fine with that :) Today I have done a few random things in the house , ate some Chinese food and tried to take a quick nap (it is so loud here it didn't even last 30 min !)It was o.k … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well.. I am sitting here waiting on hearing from David at lunch to see if he will be working to make up his lost time tomorrow or we will be able to travel with my parents to my grandparents in Va! I am torn on which way I want it to go so I just at this point would like to know. I have generally got everything around the house done and have made a pretty extensive what to take list (even though it is only overnight- you know how I am lol)  I am hoping that I will know by lunch but with my dad having worked at the quarry for 30 years almost (and david almost 10) I know how they are! ( C R A Z . Y  lol) My Dad doesn't work Saturdays either way-we used to be crazy religous when I was younger so.. he's kinda granfathered in that no matter what he doesn't do saturday- plus he had vacation hours to cover his time so.. I mean I am not worried if David can't make it up exactly because we can for one time in the 11 years we have been married pay rent late but.. I don't like … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well I was wrong about the weather. We got Snow and of course everyone has lost their ever loving minds! I had thought we wouldn't even get the trace amount of snow but we got several inches and David ended up getting sent home about 10 yesterday morning which SUCKED because that didn't even hardly give him enough to be considered a half day! He is already a day down for other reasons - which as long as we would only be one day down it wouldn't be a big deal but.. two or more its pretty bad! Anyways they had said that he could go in at 11 today and then there was some confusion about that and well thankfully they still let him and my dad both go in at 11 so ..we'll see how long they stay! I am hopeful till 4 or 5 or maybe 6 or so! It wouldn't be so stinkin bad if it wasn't rent check + our rent goes up as of Feb! We might just have to be 2 days late on the rent and pay a late fee. Which we have lived here FOUR years and never been late so .. just one time I guess … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone I pretty much knew that I would not be blogging very much until up into January after the big rush with my gift guide/trip reviews/gift guide part 2 but I thought I might miss it a little more than I have lol. It seems like January is just that kind of that way for me usually :) I have been having a ton of relaxing fun with David and the Fur folks (and David had a few short weeks with Christmas and the New years)  watching tons of random tv (my story, and I just got Hulu back after a long time) Then I have been trying to make the guest room into a office but I haven't quite got everything in there the way I want it just yet - and I would love to pick up a few random things to stick in there so I'm happy to have a fun little "project" so to speak. I have hung out in there a few times and I like the way it feels in there :) I have also been cleaning out in my big closet a bit again and just enjoying life offline for the most part! I need to get me a good balance … [Read more...]
