This is a blog about me, my life and my family!

I need to purchase some new luggage especially after my trip to Chicago. It has to be luggage that rolls though. I couldn't see myself carrying my luggage up to my room at the hotel. It was such a fancy hotel, I simply cannot express how fancy. I've never had anyone, carry my luggage...(had a hard time with that one) put in the room. Then when you go to leave they come and get it, put it in your vehicle and everything. Still not used to that. I think what was so hard for me, was NOT knowing where my Van was all weekend. Very eery. But after all was said and done, I had the most wonderful trip there to Chicago. I enjoyed the company, and especially visiting a friend of the family. (Hi Werner and Meghan) oh and the kitties too. My Mom had forewarned me of how bad it will get there with the traffic and people. As long as I wasn't driving or wouldn't be driving I would be okay. I still cannot get over the first day there. It felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest, and riding in a cab for the first time was also very, very strange. Still not used to the idea of someone doing something for me. I am the type of person I can do it myself or not at all. But living in Chicago is something people are used to, cabs, buses, and subways and stuff. Its definitely not my lifestyle at all. I enjoy visiting as long as I can come back home to peace and quiet. Oh and what's funny? I had to get used to the traffic and the way people drove around here. I caught myself cutting people off and telling them they were number one all the time. I think it just went away...today....lol.

you expect nowadays. It seems one can never be able to get thru life without difficulties. Fact number one, last summer my basement flooding...how was I ever to manage thru that.. Not sure but did. Both of my hand surgeries. Not sure how I got thru that one as well. But somehow managed. Life is tough, but not as tough as a truck bed liner. Just imagine how tough those things are. To withstand anything that is put on it. Maybe that's how my life should be. Get some thick skin and forget about it. Maybe NOT. I guess you can say I am bitter at the moment, but hopefully soon it will pass. Once I find out exactly what happened.

I have to replace my mini blinds again. It seems certain little furry animals like to climb in and break them. I replaced some that were here but replaced because they were dirty. I would like to find some roller shades instead. Maybe it would be easier than having to keep replacing the mini blinds all the time. At the old place, when the cats were kittens, they had this horrible habit of chewing on the ends of the mini blinds. And today, guess what I found behind the couch while doing my crazy cleaning of moving furniture to vacuum? Broken ends of mini blinds. Evil monsters they are. Someday someone will invent pet proof shades for windows. Unless there is and I haven't been smart enough to search for them myself..lol. But then again, I've been too busy to do anything anymore. Kids and stuff. Speaking of being too busy, I need to find another job. It seems this world is dog eat dog. I am looking for some thing where I am able to take my Son to school and be able to pick him up. Since we no longer live close enough to the school for him to walk home anymore I have no one else to get him for me.

Nothing like being stabbed in the back.  I am very upset at the moment.  I've been working at my job for a couple of years, well found out today I am not going back.  NO REASON on why either.  Kinda upset.

There were more ice jams last night farther down the river here, less than a mile to be exact. More people had to be evacuated. It reminds me a lot of last year when my house was flooded and I lost everything. I think if I had a drug problem at that time, I would of ended up in drug rehab for how depressed I had gotten. It seems losing so much of your life is a hard pill to swallow all at once. Its a memory that if forever embedded into my head. Imagine opening up the door to go to your basement and seeing water halfway up the stairs. And seeing all your stuff just floating around. I have the pictures from that day, and all my stuff outside in the yard all damaged. Well not damaged but ruined. So now I have a new frame of mind, I promise to help anyone I can who has been affected by a tragic loss such as a flood.
