Life as I know it...

Sometimes the ideas I come up with just boggle the mind. I bought the slate stepping stones today and came up with a really cool idea after I had put them in front of my steps. It's going to look soooo cool!!! Next payday I'll be doing more sprucing up of my yard. I'm really diggin' this yardwork stuff. Not only does it make my place look nice but keeps my mind occupied. Cheap therapy. Well...to a point. The flowers, beauty bark and stepping stones aren't free. ;) I do have to purchase a few things other than the aforementioned bark and stepping stones. I need to get a couple of short squatty trees and 3 rose bushes for the south side of my house. The one that has all of the blasted red rock. I am so not looking forward to that chore. I'm really hoping that when my parents get here I can talk them into buying paint for the house. This place hasn't been painted since Moses was a baby. Ok...maybe since then but not by much. It's in desperate need of a facelift. Maybe when they see how nice the yard is looking they will do it. I can only pray...:) My new camera will be here sometime next week so I'll start posting pics. I promise!!! :)

BTW Bean....NEXT!!! LOL

Well I got a couple more hours of sleep. I have the best kids. They let me sleep and didn't wake me up until my cell started ringing. We went out and about today. K wanted to try Bubble Tea so I obliged her. Mistake. It is not good by any stretch of the imagination. If you don't know what Bubble Tea is....g00gle it. Once you find out...don't try it. *shudder* An expensive taste test. There is a storm heading our way. Would you believe it's supposed to snow tonight??? Snow on Easter. How odd would that be? Speaking of Easter...my girls are watching TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) and watching a childs version of The Passion. Even watching the crucifixtion of Christ as a cartoon it still brings tears to my eyes. I am so unworthy of what He went through for me. Well not just me but all of mankind. I saw The Passion last year and that is when I realized I needed to turn my life around. I was making a serious mess of things so I gave it all back to God. My life has had it...

love

It's a struggle knowing he didn't love me and never did. To find out the things he does now for his wife? The woman who is bigger than I ever was, the woman who has been married multiple times, the woman who is tatted up and he hated tats, the woman who shows jealousy, the woman he won't keep secrets from but kept them from me, the woman who is everything he said he hated in me. Knowing all of this has made me hate him. I know it does nothing to him. It will only eat away at me but that has been happening to me for almost 20 years. I can only now admit that I hate this man with every fiber of my being. When I met him, I was in a good place. I was happy with myself, I had friends, I loved sex and I believed in love. In the almost 2 years I was with him, he destroyed every last bit of me. I know it was only 2 years but in 2 years, he obliterated every bit of who I was. Not a day went by where he didn't mentally or em...

What have I done?

I've been thinking about the things I've done in the last 20 years but, thanks to my memory, I need to make a list so I can actually see that my life wasn't completely horrible. Las Vegas 6 times Dallas for a girl's weekend Forks 4 times for girls' weekends Cruise to Alaska Cruise to Bermuda x 2 Cruise to Belize, Honduras, Mexico Road trip to South Dakota x 2 Southern California for a long weekend Nashville to judge a beauty pageant. Nascar races x 2 one being a Championship. Orlando Florida - Disneyworld and Universal Studios California - many times Leavenworth - many times Girls' weekends - many times I have more trips coming up with a cruise to Alaska and a cruise around Ireland. A weekend trip to Montana. A girl's week to Vegas. I'm sure there will be more to be planned. I became a Nana and will be a Nana x 2 this year. I've been able to purchase 2 homes. Even though I have battled depression, I have had friends stand steadfast by my side and...
