my therapy

so, i cleaned all day friday, my house is just about spotless. ok i wouldnt go that far. lets just say it's clean... when i stress, i clean... karen offered for me to go over to her house if i needed more therapy...lol i love my friends. dh took Bella & I out to our favorite sushi place for dinner... yummy, then after that, we went to our friend adrie & gary's for her b-day party.. had a good time. NO I DIDNT DRINK.. someone had me try a lemon drop OMG... they way she made it was awful... i remember them being good. so needless to say, i dumped it. & drank water the rest of the night.
today i re-aranged my walk in pantry. i had been meaning to do this for a while & well today was the day, more therapy. lol Rick & katie had volunteer hours at the wildlife center in ft. lauderdale. she's really loving that... fell in love with a pig im like dont u dare bring another animal home ! so that was my quiet time while they were gone. i was in there for quite a while, thank got it's attached to the kitchen.
i even got to unpack my xxl... all my scrap stuff is on a shelf and some what neat looking. presentable at least.. i moved all my stuff around, got all the food stuff on one side & all the scrap stuff on the other. i took over the snack drawers for my scrap crap.. dang i got alot of chipboard...lol now if only i use it.
i want to scrap soooo bad, but just dont have the energy. i just want to go veg on the couch.
in the midst of re-orging the pantry i've also been doing laundry ALL DAY & i mea all day; i hang alot of their cloths to dry so when they r done, the go straight to the closet. now im finishing up the last of the towles & wha-al, i will be done, that is until someone changes their cloths or goes & showers.... gggrrrrrrr
my sister lovingly refers to me as SISTA MING SUE, I call her consuela cause she's worse than a clean freak OCD'ing....lol
Well my dear hearts im outa here for the night.
thanks again for all the well wishes
peace out

hello again

hey girls. I do bring sad news. my bio dad passed last night at aprox 9:40pm. I made it to lakeland last weekend & he was skin & bones. all muscle mass was gone. i ended up being sick all weekend w/ my stomache & left saturday afternoon. We had quiet time together & that was the last time i was to see him. I didnt want to stay in case i was sick & didnt want to spread it to him. but personally i think i got food poisoning from applebees in bradenton.
I just thank god that he did not linger in the hospotil, & went very quickly. They found him in the bedroom wed on the floor & had him admitted to the va hosp in tampa that same day. his morphine drip was started yesterday early afternoon i think & by last night he was gone. it's sad, yet a releif to know there is no more suffering. since he had cancer in his bones/entire body, you can imagine how much that hurts.
well my loves.. have an awesome weekend. I will be back.... like a bad habbitt....lol

4. sebring fried green tomatoes crop... my sinus dripped the entire weekend, almost burnt down our room due to peach cobler drip in the oven... anyone passing by would think we were getting stoned in our room...lol... love kip in her bikini shirt w/ my holding her belly ring in my teeth. oh yeah, flashing boobies & having a bra on my head (again im sorry if i offended anyone)
5. being able to go to cku. but karen & i will be missing out on creep over... drat the gold logs park for not having enough beds... hey what if we brought tents? hhuuummmmmmm

9. swimming in the lake at joe & mary's house. i love the lake more than i do a pool, it's just so much fun to jump off the dock & act like a kid. i think the kids love it cause half the time im down on their level, having fun & im not afraid to make an ass outa my self.
10. just being.... sitting back & watching my kids, how they have grown & how beautiful they are & what wonder people they are becoming (thats on the days i like them & dont have to yell....lol)
well my friends. i wont tag anyone since im sure those linked to my blog have already been tagged & i dont know anyone else outside of my hilltop girls that has one.

I want to thank Linda J. for all that she does for her girls, the lengths she goes too, to try and please everyone. which i know is not always easy, but it takes on hell of a person to keep on tryin & succeed cause so many of us live for our hilltop crops. Linda you and your girls (michele, elle, dee, barb, diana, sorry if i forgot anyone) stive to make hilltop the best that it is & for that i love you w/ all my heart.
I had to twist my friend Kathy P. arm to try to get her to even go to one of our away crop, now i cant keep the witch home....lol we are having some great times together... she's quite the prankster & joker.... love ya kath, wouldnt have u any other way.
well girls that it for now. i will try to be more diligent w/ my blog, right now it's just really hard, im back full time 40 hrs that is monday - thursday (i have fridays off... yipppeeeee) its hard cause i work from 8-6 & feel like i get home, eat & go to sleep. missing my nights a little....but it's worth it in the end.
im off to lakeland this weekend. need to go see my dad. his health is going downhill really really fast & i dont know just how much time he has left. he goes to the va dr in tampa wed so we shall see. thats another long story that i will entertain you with another time. now for some pictures.
ta ta for now girls......
