Great Day

I will post more pictures tomorrow. But, let me say that I had a wonderful weekend. I am so grateful to be alive. I was lucky last weekend, and this weekend was pure bliss. This just shows that no matter grim today is - and at times it gets very very grim - there is always tomorrow. Thank you God I will never let go of this second chance.......

Change of Life

This Saturday Andy & I drove to Indiana to cut the grass. Neither one of us wanted to go.... I was mowing - as I got up to the birdbath - I hit a nest of yellow jackets. Needless to say they swarmed me and stung me over 15 times. Well, I found out that I am allergic to something and that something is yellow jackets. I ended up in the ER swollen tongue and all. To make a long story short I am ok - but life for me has changed. Many people told me I could have died that day and now I carry an EPI pen with me. I am still at the point of disbelief, but; what I do know for sure is at that point all the little things in my life that seemed so big, work, etc., seemed so very very small, and that lesson is what I want to carry with me throughout my life - that family, friends, love and trust are the only sure things in this world, the rest are clutter that get in the way of what really counts. I thank God for these things, and hope that I will always remember to learn from this experience.

Frustration!!!!!!

I am so totally frustrated today.

Andy & I have had two days off already - little bit left of vacation time. Since Nic is in school we are staying home. Thursday was ok - got our garage door totally up and running - put up my fall stuff-not too bad. Yesterday was awesome - we saw the Julie Child movie - loved it - we went out to lunch - went to Nic's football game (they won & Nic played the whole game) then, we watched a movie, had manhattans, and some great brie cheese. How good was that? Today we were supposed to drive to Indiana but; Dad fell - Mom thought it was a bad idea to go - so we stayed home. I am house cleaning - and it basically is sucking. I am longing for something fun to do. All we ever do is work at work, work and home, and I basically drive everyone around. I want so badly to do something different.....Just have to find out what that different is.....
