Topics On My MInd!
Topic #1...Hubby!
Darling Hubby has had some dumb ideas lately and yesterday wasn't any exception. The day started off pretty good...we got the baby girl off to school and the plan was to just have a relaxing day, maybe take a nap, maybe have some fun in the sheets. Well, those plans didn't last that long. As we were sitting together in the warm morning sun my dearest husband decided to cut down this big ass frigen tree that we've been wanting to take down for a 
couple of years. My choice would have been to hire it done but Hubby thought it would be too much moolah so we went at it by ourselves. Up on the roof we go to assess the situation. It didn't look too hard once we were up there. And withing about an hour and a half we had two of the main limbs off that were hanging over the roof. Now, those of you who know me know that I'm not a very big person, but when it comes to working, I am one of the hardest workers out there. And no job scares me...in fact I feel that carpentry or woods work would be perfect for me. I love to get in there and get my hands dirty and work those old muscles of mine. Well, I butched up yesterday and made Hubby proud of me. I did the work of ten men and my fucking muscles are hating me this morning let me tell you. The job that started at 9:00 am ended at 5:30 pm. The tree is down 
and all the brush from it has been taken to the incinerator. All that remains is a pile of about a cord or wood that needs to be split with a splitting maul today and loaded into the truck to sell as firewood. AND GUESS WHO WILL BE DOING THAT JOB TODAY? YUP, LITTLE OLE' ME!
Topic #2...Baby Girl's Party
Baby Girl is really looking forward to a party for her birthday but I just can't see it happening. the more talks we have about it the more obstacles that seem to be interfering. We had chose the 14th as the date until we realized that there was a high school football game that night...so we changed our minds to Saturday the 15th. There are things going on that night too but I guess we are going to shoot for it. So, all you bloggers out there that tried to talk me into letting her have this damned thing have won! Weather permitting Baby Girl will have her 13th birthday party. I say weather permitting because there is no way in hell 20 kids will fit in my little tiny house. (remember that I live in a 14x74 Mobile Home) She can have it outside in the driveway and on the deck and it will be just so much fun! Yes I'm saying that with sarcasm. I'll keep you all posted on this one.
Topic #3...It's Apple Time! 
I'm looking forward to heading to the apple orchard this weekend to pick apples with Baby Girl. We've done this every year since she was about two and nothing is as good as a shiny red apple off the tree...except for sex of course! We will go out and pick about three varieties and then come home and make applesauce and pies and an apple crisp. I love the wagon ride out and in a couple of weeks the leaves will have started to change and we'll go back out to do the same thing all over again. Fall is my favorite time of year and I love anything that keeps me outside in the crisp air. The only thing that bothers me about Fall is the fact that we all really have to start thinking about that dreaded holiday shit! You know, I used to LOVE Christmas but now it's just a big pain the fucking ass. I don't want to think about that now though...it's too good of a day!
Topic #4...Blogger Buddies!
I've developed a couple of blogger buddies out there that have my heart very heavy. One is on the verge of making a life altering decision and that scares me...the other has been in and out of some kind of depression. I don't like to see people hurting and I spend my days wondering if my two buddies are having good days or bad days. I can't hardly wait until they post for the day, just so I can see how they are doing. Blogger is great place for this...it's a place where we can all go and let it all out there and since we don't know and will probably never meet most of these people we can tell them whats truly inside us, without the worry of them passing judgement. We have talked about things with our blogger buddies that we normally wouldn't talk to our best friends about...let's see, just some of the topics we've touched on lately are Fights with our significant others... children and all their problems (the problems that become ours)... Divorce... Affairs... Beatings... Molestations... Homosexuality... and the list goes on and on. Now, I'm a pretty open person. there is nothing in my life that I feel is so sacred that it can never be spoken about. I don't care if people know my sexual preferences, my bank account balance, my relationship with my wonderful hubby, They can know anything they want to about me...I'm not that private of a person. But I can still talk more freely on Blogger and for this I'm thankful. To my Blogger Buds out there that are going through some tougher times, my heart is always there with you and I hope life turnsa round for you soon.
Topic #5...MOM!
Some of you may remember that my mother hasn't been in the greatest of health these days. Nothing life threatening but something very painful and I'm watching her go through it every single day. She has Vasculits on her legs and a few short weeks ago she almost lost a foot to it. She has sores on her legs that looks like that flesh eating bacteria shit and the wounds are extremely painful. She has to endure an hour of Dad scraping and peeling away the dead stuff every morning and most days the process puts her to tears. She hasn't had a shower for aobut three months...NOW THINK ABOUT THAT! How would you all feel if you couldn't take a shower for that length of time? It must be awful. Oh, she's clean...she takes about three sponge baths a day just to try to make herself clean. There just isn't anything quite like the feel of water running over you as you stand in a hot shower though. She is being treated with Meds that are zapping her energy and she so shaky most days that she can't even hold her dinner frok with dropping it a hundred times. The wound care nurse says it will probably be March or April before she's healed, if she's lucky. Winter isn't even here yet and already it's going to be along one I can tell.
So all my Blogger Pals...this is just today. Tomorrow there will be more topics on my mind and it's good to know you are all there for me if the need arises. I look forward to reading some new posts from you all very soon. Luvs to you all!
