Jake to the Doc
Jake has to go to the Doc again. His toe is no better. Hope they don't have to put him in the hospital.

The Quarter -- What's YOUR Viking Name?
This is what it said about me:
Your Viking Name is...
Jódís Shadowsbane
(Well, actually, that wouldn't really be your name -- since you're female, your name would be something like "Jódís Björnsdottir". But this is the twenty-first century, and you want to be known for who you are, not for who your father was, right? Right.)
Your Viking Personality: You might have a Norse name, but you really don't have what it takes to be a true Viking. Unlike most Vikings, you don't have a quick temper; you tend to think about your actions before you undertake them. Sometimes you think too long. You might be able to hold your own on the battlefield, but you're no "berserker".
If you ever tried to make a voyage in a Viking longboat, you would die. Either from seasickness, or from your shipmates throwing you overboard into shark-infested waters. Vikings make fun of you all the time. Not always behind your back, either.
You have a fairly pragmatic attitude towards life, and tend not to expend effort in areas where it would be wasted. Other Vikings would be calling you "tree-hugging hippie peacenik" if the phrase had been invented.

Destiny Update
When she got home from the daycare yesterday, she was really ill!! High temp, lethargic. Jacob said her breath smelled bad so I look at her throat and it was VERY swollen, red, and had pus pockets (sorry) on her tonsils. I had called the Doc yesterday and they said if she was not better by today to bring her in. It was my intention to take her in this morning.
She had a low grade temp about midnight, but this morning she had no temp, was active, and the pus pockets were gone, swelling and reddness had gone down. The power of prayer!
Well, my piggie is gonna die. I have no more food or money online for him. I am pissed because the game is suppose to last for 7 days but he is 9 days old and I ran out of stuff to feed him. I will start again tomorrow, but I am very dissappointed!
They still have not called Leroy to start that job. I hope they hurry. I had to give Jake 55 dollars for his Driver's Ed class and temp licsense today. That had to come out of savings.
I got to the Liver Doc today and find out how my blood work looks on this medication. I know it kicks my butt! Some days are okay, so are not. I don't EVER have high energy, or feel romantic. I tried some Noni juice that Jacob's Girlfriend's mother gave me. It seems to work a little, but tastes SO bad, it is hard to take ;-)!
Jake has really settled down. I am so proud of him. He used to be such a player. He has made a big change since him and Anna have gotten together. He was always a good boy, but had girls coming out of his ears. I am happy for him.......and her ;-)!!!!

Destiny
Destiny had 103.8 temp night before last and kept throwing up. Leroy had to work at this lady's house yesterday and had an interview in the morning, so I (after being up half the night) had to take Destiny to the Doc. The tested her for strep throat but the initial test came out okay, they are waiting for the 48 hour one. In the meantime yesterday, I was SO exhausted I could not move when we got home from the Doctor's. I was hungry, but too exhausted to eat.
Last night she continued to have high temps, but I am going to have to give it another day before I take her back. I pray she gets better. I am very tired again today, but I will make it to work. Leroy got the job he interviewed for but does not know when he will start.

Ready for Bed
And it's just about 7 pm. Destiny is STILL sick. Tonight she threw up on the couch. If she has to go to the doctor, I hope it is when Leroy is still off work.
My piggie is up to almost 1,000 pounds! That Swine Online is really addictive. It's a lot of fun raising a virtual piggie.
I made homemade waffles and grits w/cheese for dinner. Leroy loved it. I haven't used the waffle iron for over a year LOLOLOL! Well, I'm gonna have to go take a bath and get some rest. As long as I get plenty of sleep I can make it through the day pretty good. I have a 7 a.m. breakfast fundraiser thing to go to in the morning. It is to raise money for a half way house for women getting out of jail. Wonderful cause!!!!
Nite, nite!

Quick Note
I think Leroy may have found another postion. We did do the sign up for unemployment benefits online last night, but he said he thinks he has this position with the company he is filling out an application with now. I certainly hope so.
I'm gettting back on track here at work after having been out, teaching that class, for a week. I have a busy afternoon, so I better get done with what I need to this morning! ;-)

Quiet
Only Destiny and I are up. She's kind of sick. Sneezy, cough, slight temp, stuff nose. I'm going to have to go to Eckards and get her some over the counter medicine.
Leroy stepped on something last night and cut the shit out of his foot. Blood everywhere! I got the bleeding stopped and it rapped up and all, but when he went to get Jake from the game it started again. Before I got in the bathroom, when he had first cut it, he was just sitting there with some blood soaked TP letting it bleed on the tile floor. I got him to put it over the tub and applied pressure with a white wash clothe, got some peroxide on it, etc. Sometimes I wonder about him and what he would do if I wasn't there to take care of him.
I may make French Toast for breakfast. I can do a couple of things before the kids get up. I feel pretty good this morning. I usually do if allowed to sleep as long as I want, and can relax in the morning. :-(

Dinner
Well, I made bean burritos, with refried beans, Velveeta Cheese, sour cream and lettuce, for dinner. I also made two sweet potatoe pies. Leroy LOVES 'tater pies.
I was able to get back on to Swine Online and Pooter (my pig) is still alive. He is up over 700 pounds now. You really need to play this game. It's a lot of fun!!
Jake is getting ready to go to the Hockey game, he worked all day in the house. Just finished the last of the laundry. Lot of help my teenage son. Don't know what I would do without him. I have read lots of blogs by teenagers who are getting high and doing Ecstasy, etc. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but right now Jake's main interest is female ;-). Must be the Snyder blood in him.
My pies should be cool by now. They smell great!!! Wish I had a digital camera......I'd take you a picture in smellavision ;-)!

The Economy
Well, Leroy got laid off his job yesterday. I like to believe that God closes one door, to be able to open another. I hope the other one open's fast, because it is the right around the holiday's, plus our bills are higher than just my income.
Jake went and spent the day with Anna (his girlfriend) and her family yesterday. They went to the movies in the evening. Georgie went to a Halloween party. Georgie will be going to Raymond James Stadium tonight and Jake is going to a Hockey game with one of his friends. In the mean time, they are all cleaning the house! I have to go get groceries soon.
This is the first Saturday Leroy hasn't worked in about 2 months and he has some stuff on his trailer that has to go to the dump and he is doing that today. The guy whose house he got the stuff from has to reimburse him for the dump fee. I hope he does it fast ;-)!
I had put Leroy a new TV and DVD player on layaway at K Mart for Christmas, but if he doesn't get a job by next week I will get the money back on it. We need your prayers. Leroy needs a job. The Lord will provide though!

My Piggy
I hate to start something and not be able to finish. I don't know what happened to Swine Online, but I am disappointed. I am pooped tonight as usual. I wish I had milk, I would make cereal for dinner!
My "desire" is not existant anymore, much to Leroy's dismay. He doesn't say anything though and I try to be nice every so often. It all must be the medication of course. Glad he is so understanding. Not all men would be!

Pig
I can't get to my pig at Swine Online . I got hooked on this game where you spend a week raising a pig, and now today I can't get to him to feed him. It keeps giving me an error message so I guess the server it's on is down, but I hope my piggie doens't die.
I'm at Hillsborough Community College teaching my noncustodial parents this week. They're kind of crazy ;-)

HI!!!!
Well today seems like a nice day. I'm not feeling too tired, and I think I will bake some bread. What I want to do is make that zuccinni bread that I have a recipe on here for, but I don't have any squash. I do have some bananas though, maybe I'll so something with those.
I bought the kids some hamburger patties yesterday, and Leroy and I some veggie patties, so that's what we are having I guess. Joy called yesterday, she's 7 1/2 months pregnant now. The other girl in their relationship is 5 1/2 months along. I still get tripped out just thinking about it. I took Jacob and Lee Lee to the doc Friday. Jake had a ingrown toe nail that got very inflected and he is on 875 mg Augmentin twice a day, Lee Lee has had problems with back pain for quite a while and they finally ordered some x rays.
George went to a birthday party at the skating rink yesterday. So things are pretty normal around here. I will be teaching my noncustodial parents life and job readiness skills next week. I can always sit down if I need to.
I managed to get Leroy's appt with the liver doc changed to be the same day as me. That way we can just do it together and I will know just what is up with him.
Everyone but me went to the Flea Market, so I think now would be a good time to get some stuff done!

Linda gave me Jeff's Recipe
Zucchini Bread/Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Pam spray 2 loaf pans or 1 bundt pan
Into large mixing bowl combine:
3 eggs
2 cups sugar (brown is better or half of each)
1 cup vegetable oil (prefer canola oil)
2 cups zucchini, grated raw (food processor works great)
3 teaspoons vanilla (15 ml)
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt (5ml)
1 teaspoon baking soda (5ml)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 teaspoons cinnamon (15ml)
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup raisins (or craisins)
Pour into prepared pans
Bake for 60 minutes
Set on wire rack 15 minutes
Turn bread/cake onto serving plate until cool
Store in airtight container
I like using a bundt pan because it holds the whole thing, uses one pan, is pretty, and easy to cut.
** Before sticking it in the oven I folded in a couple of beaten egg whites. Sounded like a good idea.
I skipped the beaten egg whites....I'm lazy...LOL

Tomorrow is Friday
I don't know if it is possible to get any more tired that I was today and still be able to function. I woke up as weak as a kitten. I had already started a pot of Navy beans yesterday, and I had Georgie make some corn bread, I'm gonna do some yellow rice and take my tired butt to bed. I can give children directions from there ;-)

They have some pretty good deals here at Bulk Foods Company. I may order some spices from them. The Garlic is inexpensive.

The Cost Of Kids
I have seen repeatedly the breakdown of the cost of raising a child, but this is the first time I have seen the rewards listed this way. It's nice, really nice!!!!
The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up $160,140! That doesn't even touch college tuition. For those with kids, that figure leads to wild fantasies about all the money we could have banked if not for (insert your child's name here). For others, that number might confirm the decision to remain childless. But $160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into $8,896.66 a year, $741.38 a month, or $171.08 a week. That's a mere $24.44 a day! Just over a dollar an hour. Still, you might think the best financial advice says don't have children if you want to be "rich". It is just the opposite.
What do your get for your $160,140?
Naming rights. First, middle, and last!
Glimpses of God every day.
Giggles under the covers every night.
More love than your heart can hold.
Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
A hand to hold, usually covered with jam.
A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites, building sandcastles, and skipping down the sidewalk in the pouring rain. Someone to laugh yourself silly with no matter what the
boss said or how your stocks performed that day. For $160,140, you never have to grow up.
You get to finger-paint, carve pumpkins, play
hide-and-seek, catch lightning bugs, and never stop believing in Santa
Claus. You have an excuse to keep: reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh, watching Saturday morning cartoons, going to Disney movies, and wishing on stars.
You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day.
For $160,140, there is no greater bang for your buck.
You get to be a hero just for retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof, taking the training wheels off the bike, removing a splinter, filling the wading pool, coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless. You get a front row seat to history to witness the first step, first word, first bra, first date, and first time behind the wheel.
You get to be immortal.
You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren.
You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match.
In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there with God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, so one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost.

Work, and more work
Leroy had his biopsy yesterday, he was back to work today, and him and both boys are now out doing a side job. Cleaning and clearing four lots. I was back to work today, but didn't get much accomplished. I did cook a good dinner tonight. Whole wheat noodles and mushroom soup sauce with chopped broccoli, salad and bisquits.
Jamila (8) is washing dishes, and Lee Lee (6) is sweeping the dining room floor. The kids want me to bake cookies for Halloween, and I am going to try my best to have enough energy to do just that. I love to bake and do stuff for the kids! I haven't felt much like it lately, but I hope to get some energy back. A friend of mine was telling about this thing called Reiki, that is a transferal of energy. It probably sounds weird to you, but I am kind of open minded right about now.
Well, the little girls Lee Lee (6) and Destiny (3) are both bathed, I am going to give them all some store bought cookies and then it is off to bed! I need a hot bath and a soft bed ;-)!

Rainy
We're having some showers here in usually Sunny Florida. We need it though!
Leroy is not feeling well today, but as much as he works it is bound to catch up with him sooner or later. All the kids are in the house watching TV, Georgie is playing the Play Station in his room. I have been up and down trying to do a little in the house, and rest some, as not to get too tired and not be able to get up at all. After my running around yesterday morning, I was not able to get up again the rest of the afternoon..
I haven't heard anything from Joy lately. I don't know what is up with that. No telling. Well, think I'll visit some of my regular blogs that I visit and see what some other folks have been up to.

I have been up and down trying to do a little in the house, and rest some, as not to get too tired and not be able to get up at all. After my running around yesterday morning, I was not able to get up again the rest of the afternoon..
I haven't heard anything from Joy lately. I don't know what is up with that. No telling. Well, think I'll visit some of my regular blogs that I visit and see what some other folks have been up to.

Saturday
Busy at work, busier at home......combined with this new medication therapy and this has been a crazy week! It's amazing how much a human being can endure ;-). I figure if I can give birth to 6 kids, I can do anything though!
Well, I have errands to run this morning. Have to go pay on the lay away at K Mart, deposit Leroy's check, go get groceries. Lee Lee and Jamila spent the night at their "Aunt" Lillie's (my best friend) house last night. It was her twin's birthday. Today at 4 pm, George and his "Kenly Soldiers" group are going to Orlando to one of the amusement parks there. I forget which. Jake went out to eat with his new girlfriend and her family last night. She has a very nice family. I really like her mother. I don't even know what time they got home last night ;-)!
I better go get dressed. I'm gonna give Jake another hour before I have to wake him up, so I can go. I may take George with me.

All is well
So far so good with my shots, etc. I took my second shot yesterday night and didn't have any real problems. It was hard to get up this morning, but what's new with that ;-). I had some nausea, but that's not new either. One thing good is that I seem to have lost a lot of my appetite. This is not a bad thing considering I was about 40 pounds over weight. A size 16. When I went to the Doc, I had already lost 5 pounds just from not eating meat. My tubby belly seems to be going down and that's great.
I want to quit smoking this month, and I think that may be possible. I think I'll give it a couple of weeks and see how I feel.

Early Morning
Actually it's not too early. After 8 a.m. Jamila and Lee Lee went to a sleep over Birthday party last night so I only have 3 kids in the house. Destiny had went to the party too, but she is too little yet for sleep overs that far from home. I can't believe how different it is to have only 3 children in the house. All are still sleeping! Leroy fell asleep in the Living room last night, so the only background noise I have as I type this is his snoring ;-). I have made my coffee, I can smell the slight aroma of hazelnut. I know the paper is out there, so in a few minutes I'll pad down the drive way in my bare feet to retrieve it.
Ahhhh, I just heard the pitter patter of little feet down the hallway. And there is Destiny! Dry too......no accidents last night......yeah!
Anyone for a breakfast burrito?

These are pictures my buddy Daniel took of folige, but mainly of his BEAUTIFUL Granddaughter.....Samantha. Check her out, she's gonna be a star!!
The Day after
Okay......I figured out how to do it and took my shot yesterday night. Expecting anything, because I have heard TONS of stuff on what the first shot does. I prayed for myself, which I usually do not do. And I had minimal sides effects so far. High temp, I slept through, Leroy said I was burning up, he gave me medicine. Hurt some this morning, but I am fixin' to take some Aleve.
I have found a wonder support group family on the Dephi forums, and I appreciate them! Well, I better find those Aleve!

Treatment
Well, I start my treatment for my cirrhosis tomorrow. There are suppose to be big side effects beginning after the first 5 hours so keep my in your prayers. I am just glad to be beginning. Chances are slim that it will work, but at least there is some chance! Also, the Doc said I have a Score of A in my cirrhosis of a possible A, B or C, C being that I would be needing a transplant. That's pretty good news too!

I have a headache
and my stomach doesn't really feel good either. I went back and helped the guys at HCC (noncustodial parents) do their "master applications this morming. Then, I went to the jail and spoke to a group of women in the Substance Abuse Class. Went back to work and knocked off a TON of email.
I'm out of carrots and apples, so no juice for me. I got pissed when I stopped the fruit stand and they wanted to sell apples 3 for a dollar, instead of 4 for a dollar, so I didn't get anything.
Jake is folding clothes, George is at a meeting for Kenly Little Soldiers, Jamila is at her friends house doing homework, Lee Lee just took a bath because she fell down and hurt her leg in the neighbor's yard, and Destiny is trying to get Jake to put in one of her VHS tapes. Leroy is still at work. He had a fender bender on the way this morning which made him late and he got a $90 ticket for improper changing lanes, but he had his blinker on and was changing and the guy tried to beat him. Oh well. He went to a cardioligist yesterday because he has been having chest pains, had an EKG, so far so good, but he has to have other tests.
I have to cook dinner. So what do you think I should cook, veggie and rice or veggies and pasta............

Urban Legends
My sister in California sent me a hoax story today about a virus being mailed to folks by snail mail. A human virus, LOLOLOL. I checked it out by emailing what was put down as the person who started it, and they sent me a link to where it said it was a hoax. I love proving those things wrong.
Well, I'm off to a mtg!

A quick note
Dinner (pancakes and scrambled eggs) is over, kids are clean and suppose to be in the bed. I went to the Dentist today and got my teeth cleaned. It sucked! I have two dead teeth, one right in front that the root has been broken on for about 20 years and the other off to the side. They are turning dark and the dentist wants to do a root canal on the one and take the other one out and do a bridge. I don't have the money for all that, even with dental insurance it would cost about $1,700. I have a small cavaty, but I want to wait til the beginning of the year to get it done. That way I will have my deductable paid for all year.
Work is consuming and it was all I can do just to get through the TON of work related email today. I have to do a couple of web pages for the website. I need to add an icon at the top of CDC's website, but I don't really know how, and don't think I have a good enough graphics software to make it match the rest. I could REALLY use help and/or suggestions!!!

So far, so good
Coffee is made and in the process of being consumed. The three girls were up early watching cartoons, they are eating fruit loops and english muffins now. Teeth all brushed and faces washed. Paper is on the table waiting for me.
Georgie got up, but was acting unpeaceful.....so I sent him back to bed to try again. Told him to come back out when he thought he had settled down some. Next step is to get beds made and rooms straighten though. Get dressed, and then back to get another cup of coffee and see what's in the paper.
Leroy is working AGAIN today. He gets off at 10 though hopefully, but has to go do some lawn maintenance which is his side business. I will stay home and try to get some stuff done around here. He will probably take the boys. If I am feeling perkier, I might even try to go and help. As it is, I just coordinate the work, schedule, do the billing, etc.
Well......now to check my email!

Fruits and Veggies
You know what I really need to do is learn how to make little sauces or something for noodles. It's kind of hard planning meals without meat. Guess I will go get the cook books down and see what they have to say. If I can just get the general idea, I can go from there. I think I have lost a little bit of weight. That is just an extra that comes along with it.
The kids and I did some light cleaning on the house this morning. Leroy is working. Then, we went to Taco Bell. George had one $5 worth of coupons at his Luau last night. He is a part of the Hills. Co. Rec Center's Little Soldier's program and they had a BIG party at the park last night. He bought all his sisters and brother something. You can do that with $5 at Taco Bell ;-). We went by my job and dropped of some of the training stuff I had in my van, and then went to the flea market where they have the cheapest fruits and veggies.
I got up at 5 a.m. to make Leroy breakfast and lunch and then went back to sleep and slept 'til after 9. It was kind of hard getting up this morning, but everything is running smoothly now.
I find myself in tears over the patriotic songs. Jake told me he wanted to enlist when he turns 18. I just can't see it. I wonder if there will be a draft by then. I guess I shouldn't project too much. I need to stick to one day at a time.

TGIF
I've been messing around on the forums. Lots of good stuff. There are quite a few I like. I'm glad it's the weekend. Ready for a rest.
I bought the book "The Prayer of Jabez" today. I've been hearing a lot about it. I'll let you know how it is. Well, I haven't eaten yet, time for some carrot juice!

Acceptance
I took off work today to take the kids, Lee Lee and Georgie, to the Dentist. I left work at about 12:45. I plan on going back and doing my jail outreach starting tomorrow, so I also had to go by the court house and get the paperwork stating that my case had been dropped. I figured I would go by and get the kids first, go by the house and get the dental cards, go downtown and get the paperwork I need, take the kids to the dentist and be through.
Every step took a LONG time, escpecially trying to find parking downtown, then they had lost my records downtown and I almost never got out of there. From where I was to get to the dentist there was no quick way, especially since I really didn't know where the office was and had to take the long way. We finally got there almost a half hour late, but that part is okay, because the assholes were redecorating the office and there was no dentist there. They said they had called twice and left messages and that is a bunch of doo doo. Then she said she could reschedule us. Do I have to tell you what I told her?
After I finally got back on my side of town after 4 p.m., all I could do was SIT DOWN. I don't feel bad today though. I don't feel good, but I don't feel bad, and that is good enough for me. All that running around had wore me down, but I went to a 6 pm meeting and it was a cure all :o)! Georgie had cooked eggs for dinner by the time I had gotten home, I gave them cottage cheese and applesauce when I got here so all went well with that. Now Destiny is crying because Jamila won't help her take off her dress to take a bath, and the house is upside down. That's okay with me ;-).
I will go back into the jail tomorrow. I never thought I would. But you see that is God's plan for my life. Sharing my experience, strenghth and hope. God Bless you.........whoever you are reading this post. I hope you are well and life is treating you gracefully. God is love, and all is well.

Not good
I really don't feel well. I think I am getting a cold, or maybe it's the freakin' Hep C, I don't know. I always feel like I have a temp. My throught is all clogged up in the morning and I sneeze a little. Work is stressful, with tons of stuff to do and not enough time to do it in. The kids have pretty much all been acting up, and I just generally don't feel well.
Leroy and I got into an arguement last night. He says I treat George and Jamila "special" and he said it in front of all the kids. My back hurts, I want my carrot juice and don't feel like making it. I JUST FLAT DON'T FEEL GOOD.

GREAT weekend
Well I spent a great weekend with my girls. We cleaned, went shopping, planted plants, bought a new table clothe and kitchen towels, and burner covers. They are outside eating freeze pops now on this beautiful day in September. I have had quite a bit of energy and have taken advantage of it. The boys have been working with their Daddy all weekend on a man's yard. Georgie (9 years old) made $45, Jake made $80, and I don't know what Leroy made but he gave me $40 to shop with and that is what I used to buy the new kitchen stuff. I also bought thingys to put the VHS tapes in. We have a ton! They were stuffed in a cabinent on the entertainment center. Now at least 80 of them are organized! We really need some paper/cardboard covers for some of them and we could write on that what they are. Lots have lost their covers as time as went by..
I put a new TV and DVD player on lay away at K Mart for Leroy for Christmas. He has really been wanting one, so he's gonna get it ;-). That will be for our bedroom and we will give either Jake or the girls the one we have in their now. I hope Jake buys himself a little TV with the money he made this weekend though!
Well, I am making the family chicken tonight and need to get started! I want a glass of carrot juice too while I am in there. It's early bed time tonight in preparation for the work week and school.
Hope your weekend went well!

Peaceful Night
I just got back from a meeting, having some carrot, peach & apple juice that I juiced myself. Leroy took the kids to Blockbuster (yes, at this time of night), and I have a few minutes of calm.
Leroy brought home a tall shelf for plants from the job he did today. I've put it on the front porch in front of the window. I like to see plants out side of the window and it also partially blocks the view into the house from the outside. I am one of those people who have to raise the shades every morning and when it gets dark it is easy to see in the house. Our dinner table is right inside that window and folks look in while we eat ;-). So, one evenings we are a little slow to shut the blinds the view will be partially blocked and we will get to see pretty plants outside the window.
Have a nice night! I'm off to take a hot, oily bath.

Have a nice night! I'm off to take a hot, oily bath.
Pissed
While I was doing my last post, Lee Lee went in the laundry room and poured bleach on all the clothes that were in there. It's not like she doesn't know better. Then, I told her to go to her room, while I was trying to salvage stuff, and when I came out, she was in the freakin' livingroom watching cartoons!!!! Now try to keep your serenity with that shit going on!
I just thank God, I'm not a drinker anymore. My temper has cooled considerably.

Up and at 'em!
You've never heard that before, have you? Well, Leroy and the boys have gone to do a side job. One thing for sure, those boys will know the value of hard work. The girls and I are going to the grocery store and the drug store. Started out slow this morning, but I'm perking up. It's still cool and breezy outside. A left over from the storm. Leroy will be working probably all this week end helping folks clean up. No AC needed again today! That is unusual for September in Tampa, FL.
You know I talk about AC, but what I haven't said is that this is the first place I have really had as an adult with Central Heat and Air. I remember it being so hot at night in the summer time that I used to wet towels and put them over the kids to keep them cool at night. This will be our 6th Christmas here. We moved in Dec 7, 1996. I love our little home. God has blessed us!

Calm after the Storm
Branches are everywhere, some trees are down, but overall we did well. I don't know if we are going to get any more of the back lash, but right now it is calm and overcast. We were able to have the AC off today, and open some windows. Got quite a bit of house work done, so as I look around things are in order. I took a brief nap, maybe 15 minutes, before the phone rang.
I spent some time earlier reading some accounts of the Attack. I think I will go to the Hep C Forum and see what is up.

Storm
Well the next door neighbor's tree fell down. Just by the grace of God it fell the only way that would not have hit their house, the car, or blocked the road. There are BIG gusts of wind. Up to 50 mph they say. My best friend, Lillie, who lives about 1/2 block away has lost her electricity due to her neighbor's tree falling.
We just watched the memorial service in Washington D.C. for the victims of the Attack On America. Billy Graham did the service with a Catholic Priest and an African American Minister coming up before him. It was 'real'. I have chosen not to comment on the tragedy. It is really too much for me to express opinion on. I'm just sad. For everyone concerned.
The kids are watching Emperor's New Groove on tape, and it is hard to believe that our satellite reception is still on. Funny through tragedies of all kinds, life goes on.

Back home!
Okay, I've gone to the grocery store and gotten supplies for the storm day ;-). It's funny.....I woke up at 5 a.m. this morning and felt good. Usually it takes all I have to get up in the morning, and yesterday I was dead......but this morning I felt fine. Got soaked going to the store, the wind is really picking up too.
I got Chocolate Chips for Georgie to make cookies. Plenty of fruit, cereal, water, etc. I am going to cook while I can, we may loose electricity. Hope your day is good ;-)!

Hurricane or Tropical Storm
Either one is rough, but it is coming through. All the schools are closed today, and I will be staying home. I really have to get to the grocery store first thing this morning though. Rain or no rain. The storm is suppose to be at full force at 2p.m. At least that's what it said last night. I'm going now to check on the news.

HI!
I have chosen not to post much this week. Our tragedy has effected me, along with the classes that I am teaching that ALWAYS wears me out! Nice group of young men this time. A bit more realistic and they seem to be able to see more long term than some of the classes. I have a few concerns, but none that could not be worked out.
Well, again it is time to get the girls up........and get on with my day. I feel better than usual....I took one of Leroy's Claritin's last night. I don't know why allergy pills taken at night would make me feel better in the morning. I don't have allergy's. Maybe it helps me sleep better or something........oh well, long as it works. They cost too much to take all the time though ;-), and I don't have my own 'script for them.

Negativity
Leroy spends more and more time outside, maybe he always did, I don't know. It just seems like I need him more in the evenings now to help me with the kids, and he chooses to be outside talking to which ever man in the neighborhood is out there. So when I need him, he's not there. Then, first thing in the morning he want to bring up that Leighanne was across the street on a neighbor's porch putting dry dog food from the floor on the porch into the dog's water. I indicated that that is NOT the way I want to start the morning. He wasn't here to deal with problems last night, and I don't want to start my day with negative issues. Now "I" am accused of being self center. "I" who get up at 5:30 each morning to prepare his breakfast and lunch. "I" who make sure dinner is made even when sometimes it is all I can do to stand up. I work a full day just like he does.
When I went outside yesterday he told me that his recent supervisor was a good guy. This is the same man he had been having problems with. I indicated to him, when he was having the issues with the supervisor, that maybe if he would attempt to look at the situation differently he may see something differently.
His attitude sucks lately. Of course, some of this could be explained by the emotional strain of finding how just how far progressed my liver damage was, and of course me attending several AA mtgs a week, but I am having to deal with these issues just like he is. If he is not part of the solution, he is part of the problem. If anything I need a little help now, where maybe I didn't before.
He goes to the Liver Doc today to see how he is. I go to court. If you don't know what I am talking about with the court thing, read the last half of May and start on June.
Well, today is picture day at school, and I have to do the girl's hair.

Monday, Monday
I am teaching my class of noncustodial parents this week. As I have spoken of before I teach them, job readiness and life skills. This time I am making sure that I try to get them to get tested for Hep C. They are strong, young men and if they got tested now they would have time to make certain life style changes that could contribute to their long term health.
In the meantime, this class is wearing me out! It is always makes me tired, but I am really feeling it this time ;-).
We are having Tuna Helper tonight and I am adding Broccoli (how ever that is spelled). I don't know if I want to eat though.

Dinner
Okey Dokey, you can find out all about our Beef Sausage Dinner if you want to. George helped me cook again as usual. He made the Oatmeal cookies and the corn bread. Every thing is cooking right now. The whole dinner only takes about 45 minutes and that includes cutting veggies for the salad and all. Little by little I will start replacing my meat with firm veggies like eggplant, broccoli, etc. They say all raw veggies are the way to go, but I have to take it slow ;-).
I'm going to bed early tonight ;-)

News about Joy
Well........Joy has been in touch on a pretty regular basis. Last time we talked, the asshole cussed and hung up the phone. I called back. I am sorry Joy has to go through what she is going through, but she will never learn otherwise I guess. Hard Head! Later on she will regret this decision so badly and it will bring so much pain to her. It is SO sad. I screwed up so much shit when I was young, and now I get to sit back and watch my daughter do the same freakin' dumb ass stuff.
Dinner is simple tonight. I will put it on my dinner page ;-)

Good
Last night when I tried it the carrot juice tasted kind of weird, but this morning it tastes good! About 4 carrots and an apple. Getting the kids to like it is another story. I just have to keep giving it to them like I do with other Veggies and stuff. Now I am a meat and potatoes girl, so this is all kind of weird to me........but we do what we have to do ;-).
Leroy went yesterday to help a friend and is not home yet. The truck hub blew off one time, then next time I talked with him they had fixed that and were about a hundred miles away going to pick up a transmission for the other guys truck, then at 4:30 a.m. I called him and they were outside of Gainesville coming back this way. I have no idea where he is now, but I am starting to get worried.

An Award
Well someone gave me an award for this site, but we must keep in mind that the template was done by a great talent at Point of Focus. I am an beginner who really enjoys this, but I want to make sure folks get credit. Also....my buddy Daniel did my heading for me. I just talk and add tons of stuff I like ;-).
I need more coffee now, and maybe a couple of Aleve ;-)

Night, Night
Well, most of today has been a good day. I am tired now, but I deserve to be. I gave a full day's work, got home, let the kids run me crazy, went to church and now I will do some posting, some reading, take a nice hot, oily, bath and hit the sack.
Leroy is with a friend helping him move his truck or something. I don't get as upset as I used to when he stays out with friends. It's not like he's messing with women. He needs his space too. I like to go to meetings, church and mess with my computer......he likes to help folks, work in the shed, fix cars, etc. I guess we are pretty normal. Comfortable. OH........and guess what happened last night?!?!?!? I'm not telling ;-)!

First cup of coffee.....
If I can just get this first cup of coffee down, I will have it made. DID NOT want to get up this morning. Have made Leroy's breakfast and a couple of sandwiches for him for lunch. Boys are up and ready, now it is time to get the girls up. Jamila (8) picks out her own clothes now, and does her own thing except for her hair. Soon I will take a picture of that child's hair and let you know what I have to deal with! I have to do most everything for Lee Lee, but her hair is not that hard to do. I have to dress Destiny still, she can basically do it, but it always ends up backwards and inside out. Isn't that weird? I wonder what the odds are of clothes ALWAYS ending up backwards and inside out.
I have not heard from my friend Daniel in a while. I guess he's a big shot Microsoft Technician now and doesn't have time for his blogger buddy ;-)!!! I'm teasing of course. I have met such wonderful folks on the Internet. One, I had talked to for years, Al, he is an older man who lives up North. Anyway.....I have not heard from him in a while and I am worried. Seems like if you have friends online, and something should happen to you.....a person should instruct their family how to inform those friends. Are we any less friends because we don't see each other in person, I think not. In a lot of cases you even share more with your Internet friends. I'm not sure why ;-).
Well I have been typing 10 minutes and I have girls to work with. Hope your day is good. I'm starting out slow........like a train (I like trains)......but I am going to pick up steam soon ;-)!

Hectic Life.......FOR REAL
Yesterday we had a fund raising luncheon for my job (which is with a nonprofit organization for those who don't know). It was great but totally wore me out and all I did was show folks to their seats. I am extremely busy at work and that is not too bad a thing. I like my job, on good days. In the afternoons, I really can't think clearly enough to get much done though ;-)!!
Well, I am off to a meeting. They put me on this Policy Board for Head Start. I know I will not be able to attend much, but I have to do my community thing ;-)!
I have to fix all these pages Saturday or Sunday. My background and banner is gone from my photosite, but that's okay, I'll fix it. Also my dinner page is messed up. Have to work on it and add a dinner someone sent me ;-). Want to try to get some sun too before I go on my medication. They say it makes you not be able to tolerate sun.
Anyway.............see ya'!!!!!!

From A Friend
Another day is passing and I'm going crazy. The kids are acting nuts and if I can get through without burying one in the back yard I will be okay. My back hurts, and I am tired, but mentally I feel okay. Work was busy and I got NOTHING done. Tomorrow is our BIG fundraising luncheon.
Georgie baked a chocolate cake and I want to eat the whole thing BAD!!! With Milk.......

Brighter Day
I am so encouraged. I contact the web master of the best Hep C site and she sent me the most encouraging email. I feel really great about it!! I will put more detail on the 12 step site as I am trying to keep my regular stuff here separate from my Cirrhosis and AA stuff.
Anyway........Dinner was steak, corn on the cob, and Rice a Roni (the San Fransico treat!). My Girls are bathed, hair washed and smelling good, Leroy stained the trim on the shed today, and I rested quite a bit. Watched the dumbest movie I ever saw. Forgot the name.
I'm happy!!

Slept In This Morning
Destiny has had a temp for the since Friday night. Guess her "Periodic Fever Syndrone" is kicking in. I got up at 5 a.m. and gave her Tylenol, and was even able to sleep until 9 a.m. myself today. I would really like to go to Hillsborough River State Park today and take the kids on a nature walk. I don't want to go if Leroy won't go though, so we will have to see.
I have to go grocery shopping this morning too! Dang we eat a lot around here!

Saturday
Leroy and I went to the flea market this morning and had a little fun. It was really HOT, but we wore straw hats. Was really tired when I got home so I watched Miss Congeniality and Meeting the Parents. They were fairly good movies. I was going to cook, but now have made up my mind to go to a meeting so I will not have time. Guess they can have sandwiches ;-).
Haven't worked much on my cooking site, and I'm a little disappointed with myself..........it will be okay though.
I am making a video of the the world as I see it ;-). I am getting quite self centered lately ;-). I wish there was some way all my siblings could get together. I called my sister Sherry and brother Billy the other evening. Paula and I talk more. I am so glad I have her in my life now!!!! Such a wonderful young woman with a wonderful family. Well, if I am gonna go, I better go get myself together. Hope you are having a nice evening. God is Good and all is well............
