Ooooops

Just another quiz

This is Missy she seems to think she is one of the puppies except she can climb trees. 

Peekaboo.....This is Sarg. He is 3 whole pounds and full of personality. 

This is what life is all about........Grandson and daughter-inlaw.  

This is Holly our new little girl isn't she sweet!!! 

It's Friday fun day

It's Friday yea!!!!!!!! This is the day I wait for all week long. Not that I have any big plans this weekend . I never do it's just nice to be at home. I have a lot of homework to finish up and reviewing I'm going for my test in a couple of weeks. The real estate office I work at are ready for me to be licensed. And I'm ready to start making money.
Well I added a new puppy to the household. She is the most beautiful little yorkie. She is only 2 weeks older than my male they were almost like littermates . Last night was her first night at the house , she has been at the kennel up to now .So it's fun having 2 puppies and a kitten around the house it's a constant form of entertainment. I'll be taking pictures this weekend.
Well the other big thing in our lives right now is we went to the lenders this week and started paperwork on a loan to buy the cabin. We were preaproved so now it's paperwork and seeing how the place appraises.It's very exciting and scary at the same time. I've never owned a house before.And with it being my dream house to top it all off. I can't imagine living anywhere else.I just pray that it all goes smoothly.
So many people I know are having a rough time my heart goes out to them all. I wish I could share the peace I have found and the joy I have in my heart.Thru all the turmoil and heatache I created in my life I have finally come to a place that is good. And I feel this has come from living my life in a manner that harms none.Simplicity...... that's how I manage things in my life today. Keeping it all simple.Asking the question am I harming anyone with my actions? And what is the simplest way to deal with things.And try to keep my needs as simple as possible . I feel a freedom I never felt before .
Peace and love I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

HNT MY shadow is all nekkid but don't tell anybody. 

Good morning

Today is one of those days that the words won't come. Maybe I'm not awake yet.So I'm going to give you my favorite poem from my childhood.

If I can stop one heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one life from aching
or cool one pain
or help one fainting robin
unto it's nest again
I shall not live in vain.
Emily Dickinson.
I think this says a lot.
Nakutakia siku njma, zenye furaha na kila anina ya matumaini. Have a wonderful and fulfilling day full of joy and happiness. Swahili.I have made a new friend that is sharing his lanuage with me.

Sunday night-Cool breeze

Ahhhhh ! It's finally cooled off there is a nice breeze, the fireflies are out and the moon is fairly close to being full.
I just got done pickin' green beans I love them raw fresh out of the garden.I love the smell of dirt. I could get by without the mosquitos.
Today was a lazy hot day. I waited till this evening to do my outdoor chores.I really wish we'd get some rain.
As I was gathering up my things and getting ready to come in the house I remembered a song we used to sing in a round it was from a womans gathering years ago.

When the day is over and all the work is done
we'll fly away home
when the day is over and all the work is done
we'll fly away home
fly away home to dreamland
fly away home
fly away home to dreamland
fly away home

It sounds very pretty with many women singing. It was a comforting moment remembering the joy I shared.I was about 28 years old when I found a group that celebrated being a woman . They taught me how to trust , how to be a sister and a friend. They showed me many things , the one greatest thing of all they showed me was ME. I got to look inside and there I found a beautiful child with big brown eyes and joyful smile. She told me it was ok to play and laugh and sing and dance and run around in circles till I was dizzy.Today I allow my child space to be free and to grow.
So now I am going to sing her my lullaby and tuck her in bed so she can dream..........

Sat morning

Me? listening to Eve Cassidy and Nora Jones , drinking Strong coffee w/ carmel vanilla creamer ,smokin' way too much ,cut off sweatpants ,my hubbies rudedog tank top black bra....
I overslept a little bit so I was late getting up to the kennel to help my Aunt with the dogs.I'm learning how the groom the dogs. They are wiley little fellas trying to cut their little nails isn't as easy as you might think!But I do love it . They each have such different personalities.We have Yorkies in case you didn't know. They are so sweet. And the puppies we have that are almost ready to go are sooo sweet .I told my Aunt I wanted a puppy blanket they are so soft and cuddly.
Well My Aunt has here own blog now.We set it up yesterday http://www.kissyfacemargie.blogspot.com/ stop by and give her some words of encourargment.I think she is really going to enjoy it.
I'm gong to just hang out today I have a lot of yardwork and housework and homework to do today. Maybe I'll make it to the creek today. If we don't get some rain we maynot have much of a creek left it's getting kind of low.
I have some herbs ready to dry does anyone have any hints for drying dill I pulled some and hung it upsidedown to dry and it tuned an ugly brown
I thought it would have some green color left to it.?????
We got a new kitty yesterday to add to the family . Her name is Little Missy , she is grey and was covered with fleas.I found her outside the office , someone had dumped her , she was panting so hard it was really hot outside so I gave her some water and that was all it took she adopted me on the spot She is soo sweet and I am such a sucker. It didn't take too much for Allen to cave in either.Hee hee.Big macho guy turns into butter with one little meow!
That all for now .I hope everyone has a good time this weekend.

Boredom

Good morning, I'm sitting here drinking my first cup of coffee trying to come up with something to write about and not finding much. My life is has slowed down so much I fear it might even be boring. I have never been accused of being boring.I use to surround myself with people and activity.Constantly on the run.In the middle of some drama or another.Taking on way to much and spreading myself way to thin.Now it's just the opposite .I don't really miss the drama but I do miss being involed in stuff.I don't have very many friends around here and I haven't been driving for a while. I live in the country so I don't get around much and now I'm starting to get that itch.Maybe because I getting my license back soon.
Boredom can be dangerous for me. When I was doing drugs I was never bored and I had lots of friends . Well as long as there were drugs there were friends. And keeping up drug habit kept a person busy.So I guess I'm just trying to identify why I'm feeling buggy.I really had no idea when I started out writting where this would go but here it is. I'm coming up on a year without Meth and that's what is making me feel weird. I think I need to meet some people and do something to keep myself out of trouble.I haven't been to any meetings around here so I guess that might be a place to start.
I normally don't share much on this subject but I felt the need to try and figure out why I was feeling the way I do.Sometimes I think if I don't talk about it it will go away or it doesn't exist . Not true .I have to remind myself were I came from and remember I don't want to go back there.
So now that I know why I'm feeling this way I can do something about it. Thanks for your support.

I am finally answering the questions someone dear to me asked over a week or 2 ago. Sorry I have been negligent and lazy .These were very good questions.
Interview questions;

4. How do you think being a grandmother will change you.
Hmmm, I'm not sure yet. I'm sure it will change me in ways I would never even think of and yet I don't see myself making any changes anytime soon. Maybe in the way I look at my children they aren't kids anymore. But they are still my babies. Does than make sence? I know all you Grandparents are laughing at me right now .I guess I'll find out as I go.
5. If you could choose now, who do you think you would like to come back in another life and be and why?
Now this one is a good one ,I have really thought about this for a long time. Would I want to be rich? Famous?Maybe.But I think I would want to be someone who has made an impact on a nothers life. Maybe a spiritual leader like the Mother Teresa or Gaundi.Then I thought who made an impact on my life. And not until I sat here writting did it come to me. Mr. Nebble, my 5th grade teacher.He came into my life when things where very scary for me .My Mom was getting a divorce and all of the men in my life up to that point (except my grandpappy) had hurt me in many different ways. I was acting out a lot and trying to get in trouble. See Mr. Nebble gave swats and at one point or another everyone got one. But he was very gentle and patient with me. He taught me to trust and no matter how bad I tried to be , he accepted me for who I was. And he wasn't going to let me feel like I was bad.Thank you Mr. Nebble . This is who I would like to come back as.
Thank you for asking these questions they were good made me think a lot and helped me to remember some things.

HNT..... If you could see his eyes you would see the blue.My baby boy!!! Poor baby. 

Words I live by......

Think deeply, speak gently,
Love much, laugh often,
Work hard, give freely,
and be kind.

I really love this saying.I've been trying to live my life this way.I'm about half way there. I don't always think deeply , I kind of go off the top of my head, so I need to slow down and think. I don't always speak gently it kind of goes with the thinking thing it needs improvement .I've always been a little loud and bosteroius and full of life (or something).I fully live the rest of this saying.I love the simplicity of it.
Lately, I haven't been in the mood to write. Actually I haven't been in the mood for much.I've been busy with family stuff . But my creativity and energy has been low. I don't know what's up with that.So once again it's time for me to slow down and recharge and keep it simple. Maybe I'll spend a quiet day at home and make my list of the things that are important to me and take it from there.
Has anyone else been feeling this way? Kind of drained? If so what are some of the things you do to fill yourself up. Thanks for sharing and thanks for listening.
