Flaming June's Love

Tonight was a night from years past. I enjoyed it but it had a bittersweetness to it. The years that I spent married to Tim but alone with the girls I spent almost every weekend at Barnes and Noble. I went there because Tim was asleep on the couch and a real grouch and we needed to get out og the house. So we went there. The girls had their regular spots and I had mine. Funny we made friends withe Saturday night regulars back then and found that there were other women in the same situation or close to the same. Either alone or as close to alone as I was at the time. Allie Missi and I would go about 7 in the evening and stay til 9 ish when Tim would leave for work and then we would stop at Blockbuster on the way home and rent the movie of the week. We spent alot of time with my best friend Maryellens daughter Jackie at the time and we were inseperable. I think that is why we are so close now. My girls and I. Then Amy came into our lives and Barnes and Noble became our place....

Found this one after I posted the last time and have to say I love this one too. The dog doesnt get the appreciated mention here on the blog as much as I should. She is loved and she is great and I dont know what we will do without her when the day comes that she isnt part of this family anymore.

OK the first picture is of our home from the top of the dyke. We are the blue house. Andy had a dream years ago fo the day when he could stand up there and see his home. ANd this is the first pic of it. I think I will do something special with it for his birthday coming up next week. The other pics are the kids on the dyke snowsledding. You can see the river behind them and the bridge further back in the distance. The last pic is of Andy dragging Jack up on the sled to the top and then the squeals all the way down. I was at home watching out the window and could hear them screaming. Yes all of them. I wanted to go but had a pizza in the oven and didnt get out quick enough. I hope to go tonight by the moonlight. how cool would that be? I do have a great family. I know it. I am truly truly truly lucky.

I mnetioned my teacups and I hope you can appreciate them just a little bit with this pic. I have two other cases full of the pretties. The other pic is of the kitchen and the lights that I chose for the island. I know they dont look like much but they again are things that I love. While on the topic of LOVE here ismy boy Jack adn sionce I havent posted ina while you can see he has been growing while I have been away from my computer. He was sick for a bout a good week and lost a few pounds which is a ltot when you only weigh thirty. He is pirking up and starting to come around. His pic of him sleeping is a glimpse at his father asleep. The similarities are really starting to show. I went to the lawyer today and if i can say that it was the worst I mean it was the worst. The women that I met with are the paralegals and nurses that reviewed my Dads case. They were all there inthe conference room and i knew something was up when they were all there. I went in and his chart was all...

FLOGGING MOLLY LYRICS "If I Ever Leave This World Alive" If I ever leave this world alive I'll thank for all the things you did in my life If I ever leave this world alive I'll come back down and sit beside your feet tonight Wherever I am you'll always be More than just a memory If I ever leave this world alive If I ever leave this world alive I'll take on all the sadness That I left behind If I ever leave this world alive The madness that you feel will soon subside So in a word don't shed a tear I'll be here when it all gets weird If I ever leave this world alive So when in doubt just call my name Just before you go insane If I ever leave this world Hey I may never leave this world But if I ever leave this world alive She says I'm okay; I'm alright, Though you have gone from my life You said that it would, Now everything should be all right She says I'm okay; I'm alright, Though you have gone from my life You said that it would, Now ev...

I know I have received some flack concerning my lack of writing lately. But with all my heart intact as far as I know I can say that we are officially into our new home and it is feeling mor and more like home everyday. I have put my teacups up in the kitchen and those of you that know me know that they are my babies. They look beautiful and are on the walls of the nook and the light in ther is beautiful so my little treasures are just showing off all day long. I have put some window treatments up but nothin permanent. I am getting along fine and think we can be alright here. A few new things going on. I o to see the lawyer tomorrow concerning my Dad and that will either be the begining or the end of the case. I thought I wanted it to be the begining but honestly I kinda hope it is the end. My heart still hurts ona daily basis and the guilt that I feel is still there. Selfishly I want them to say that there was nothing done wrong and he was just ready. I have feared all along ...

As you can see I am the luckiest woman on the planet. My little girl went to her first formal last night and obviously she was truly a vision. She was so calm and cool. More than i thought she would be. Her date was a cute shy young man, but as we all know those are the ones to be careful of. LOL She had a great time and cant wait to get dolled up again for prom. (If she gets asked of o\course) They went in a limousine and she got some beautiful roses. i am so happy for her she has had a few rough years with being the LITTLE sister and I think she has hit her stride now and coming out of her shell. Now nelieve you me she is not candidate for Miss AMerica, she may look good but she is certainly opinionated, and not afraid to speak her mind. so red carpet... not so much, cover of vogue. Yeah... Other pics of the house. My guy and our son hanging around tweaking things this am. As you can tell we are getting there, but not quite yet. I am happy though. I think I am really happ...
