spider in the toilet!

I am cleaning the house so when the guy comes to spray my house tomorrow he wont think I live like a slob.  Why are you having some one come spray my house, well a couple of days ago Gilbert went to go use the bathroom when he informed me there was a spider in there.  I was thinking it was on the wall, ceiling or on the floor, no it was in the toilet.  Mind you it was not on the on toilet, not floating in the water, it was on the the toilet seat!!!  I grabbed a the closest thing to me, which just happen to be a water spray bottle.  I started to spray the sucker.  When I had knocked it off the toilet I told Gilbert to go get me a shoe.  He ran to his room grabbed a shoe and gave it to me.  I then ended that spiders life.  I have a huge fear of spiders.  I don’t like them.  But I know they have a purpose in this world and I thank them for taking care of the flies and other bugs, but please stay out of my house and especially stay out of my toilet!!!

Three

I went to pay my bills today, online thought my bank account, while I was at it I decide to double check the charges that went though.  The second on it was a $103.80 charge to ACO Hardware, which in Michigan!  I have never been to Michigan.  We called the bank and found out there is a second charge pending to a Toys r Us for 317.99 which just happens to be a couple miles down from the hardware store.  What is weird is that my bank said it was a hard swipe which means they had my credit card. I am wondering if they stole my credit card info and made a new card.  I also wonder how they got my info I really don’t like to use my bank card for anything and never for stuff online. 

This happen this past Thursday.  And it goes to show you that things happen in three.  My Great Grandpa passed away that day.  My mom’s dog, Rickie, was hurt that night.

My Great Grandpa was 32 days shy of the young age of 97.  He lived a full life.  He was able to see all three of his children grow up and have children of their.  Then he was able to see their children have children.  Some of my favorite memories of him are of him dancing with my Great Grandma.  I loved to see them dance.  I remember going to the state fair to see them dance.  He had been falling down a lot so they took him to the hospital to get checked out.  We fond out that he had leukemia plus his heart was weak heart.  We were given months that turned into days.  We went to visit him after we found out it was just days left.  But those days actually turned out to be hours.  While some of my family and I were visiting my Grandpa passed away.

That night I went to check on my mom’s dog, Rickie, when I notice this awful smell.  I thought maybe he had an accident but it wasn’t the same smell.  I went to take off his collar when I got some stuff on me.  I called for my husband.  He took off his collar and saw he was cut.  My sister and I rushed him to the Animal ER.  We got him fixed up and took him home within an hour.  My sister feels really bad about this so she has been taking really good care of him.  He is doing fine and wounds are healing nicely.

So there is my threes

Present

My wonderful husband bought me an early anniversary / Mother's day / birthday present! It is just what I wanted. Its a notebook!! But more it offers you the versatility to touch, draw, or type. The unique, convertible design offers a full-size keyboard and can also be used in slate mode as a sketchpad with a digital pen.

The swivel-top HP Touchsmart tm2 not only comes with a 12.1 inch screen and a 9-hour battery life, but it also comes packed with HP's own Bumptop 3D desktop. When you're using the tm2 in tablet form, you can activate the Bumptop 3D program and use touch to command your tablet. Want to toss some photos onto Facebook? Just drag them into the Facebook icon and away you go. The tm2 also comes bundled with some sweet-looking media apps like Netflix, Hulu, Twitter (who cares), and Facebook (cool!), so you can stay connected.

DigiFish Dolphin: Experience an interactive 3-D screensaver that recreates an ocean environment. This is way cool! My kids and I can sit all day watching and playing this.

I am still learning all the things this can do but so far I love it! I am sure there are more things I still have learned on this but I really do like what I know it can so so far.

I love the fact that I am no longer have my back turned to the kids when I am on the computer. I can be in any room in the house with the kids and still be able to do what I need to do on the computer.



Maybe now I will be able to blog like I use to!!

can't believe

I can't believe its been a year since my life was turned upside down. It was sudden, unexpected and horrifying. I would like to tell you all that things are back to normal or almost there, but normalcy will never be in my life again. But then again what is normal. I would love to tell you all what happened but that is just not right or fair to the others that are involved. But that I can tell you all is how I feel. I feel robbed of my Innocent. I feel robbed in so many ways. I don't know how to feel sometimes. Most of the times when I think about what happen I just want to cry. I don't understand why it happened. Then I feel guilty and wonder if I could have changed things. I know the world does not evolve around me but . . . something one person can make a difference.

I wish the people that are involved comfort in their lives.

spam

I just got spammed! I have had this blog for almost two years and never been spammed before. I changed my settings so hopefully this never happens again

Way Back When-sday - Veteran's Day

since its Veteran's Day I figure I would do a picture of me!

This picture was taken in 2001 on deployment for the cruise book (it like a year book)

This picture brings back so many memories.

Date: Sept 23, 2001

I was actually in boot camp at this time, but went home on emergency leave because my Uncle Brad died. Nikki was in training/school to become a cop. Me. Jeremy is in his Army uniform. He home on emergency leave too. Josh was still in high school. He actually enlisted in the Army four years ago. So 3 of 4 siblings in my family are Vets! If you count our spouses into that 5 of 6 are Vets (6 out 8 if you count exs)! My dad and his dad (my Grandpa) were Navy and My mom's dad (my Grandpa) was National Guard.

Happy Halloween

So I am a little late, better late then never!

Gwen asking Gilbert where his shawdow is

This is Peter Pan and Tinker Bell looking at thier shadows (again)

After I toke a ton of pictures I realized Gwen did not have her wings on so I had to take more!

Gwen and Gilbert loved dressing up! They wore their costumes all day. We went to church at 1 to do trunk-or-treat. They won the cutest costume award their! We went home ate dinner and finally at 5 we went out into the neighborhood. We started out by ourselves but because we moved super slow some of our neighbors caught up to us. Gwen and Gilbert loved being in a group so we tagged along with three of our neighbors aka "our friends". We only did the street we lived on. Which is funny because last year we actually did more of the neighborhood. I just did not want to do more because I did not want to get more candy. because I know I would end up eating most of it (which turned out not to be true, Gilbert has a sweet tooth!).

We went home to hand out candy. I think that was actually Gilbert's favorite part of the day! He just sat in the patio chair and let the trick-or-treaters come to him. If they did not day trick-or-treat Gilbert told them to say it!!! It was soooo cute!

This is what I saw

About two hours ago I went to check up on Gwen and Gilbert after they finally fell a sleep and this is what I found . . .

. . .



. . .



. . . .

Now you may notice that Gwen's and Gilbert's mattress may look a little lumpy. Ok I admit I did not spend a lot of money on the kids mattresses but I promise they were not lumpy when I put them to bed tonight.

If you look closer you may notice . . .

they stuffed their beds with stuff animals/dolls! Every single doll was in their beds! Gwen and Gilbert were crammed up next to their headboard. I really wish I could have taken a better picture of Gilbert but I was afraid of the flash waking him up.

It only took me a couple of seconds to unstuffed their beds but the whole time I was giggling at them. I wish I could have been their when they came up with the idea to put all the dolls in their beds.
