WHILE TAKING DOWN THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

MY DEAR HUSBAND WENT TO MOVE THE LADDER AND THE TOP SLIDE DOWN AND SMASHED HIS FINGER AND I DO MEAN SMASHED. OH I CAN'T LOOK. THERE IS BLOOD EVERYWHERE. I HAVE TO LOOK, BECAUSE I HAVE TO FIX EM' UP...AH GEE IT IS BAD, VERY BAD. OH MY GOSH, MOST OF HIS NAIL IS GONE AND WHAT IS LEFT IS PUSHED UP UNDER THE TOP OF HIS FINGER, WHAT'S LEFT OF THAT. WRAPPED IT UP IN A WET WHITE TOWEL, WERE WE ARE OUTTA HERE. ST.CHARLES HERE WE COME. 4 HRS & 37 STITCHES LATER WE LEAVE THE E.R. WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT HIS FINGER IS FRACTURED, HIS NAIL MOST LIKELY WILL NOT GROW BACK AND BY THE SLIM CHANCE IT DOES, IT WILL BE SEVERELY DEFORMED.
WHILE WE WERE GONE A GOOD FAMILY FRIEND TOOK THE LIGHTS DOWN, CHRISTMAS WREATHS OFF EVERY WINDOW, RED BOWS, ALL OF IT. EVERYTHING IN NEAT PILES WAITING FOR US TO PACK UP & STORE IN THE ATTIC.
THANK GOODNESS FOR LIVING 5 MINUTES FROM TWO HOSPITALS.
THANK GOODNESS FOR GOOD FRIENDS.
THANK GOODNESS MY HUSBAND DIDN'T TURN INTO THE 6 YR OLD I KNOW HE CAN WHEN HE IS FORCED TO BE IN A HOSPITAL'S CARE.
NO I AM NOT MARKING FUN, I AM TRULY THANKFUL, REALLY YOU HAVE NO IDEA.
NOW I MUST SAY GOODNIGHT. =)

SPEAK OF YOUR LOVE AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW MAY BRING...

MY SISTER AND MY FRIEND OF MORE THAN FORTY YRS
BOTH ARE BATTLING CANCER .
I PRAY FOR STRENGTH FOR THEM.
I PRAY FOR STRENGTH AND UNDERSTANDING FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
I LOVE THEM BOTH WITH ALL MY HEART.
I PRAY & PRAY & PRAY SOME MORE.

P.S.N.

ONCE AGAIN...

MAY YOUR YEAR BE FILLED WITH HEALTH, HAPPINESS & JOY
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009

looks like we are going to have...

a white new years eve.
my preteen is bummed.
he wanted to ride his dirt bike in the woods today.
but now with the snow flakes i think not.
my teenager is at his aunts lori's.
hanging out with his aunt, uncle & cousins.
my preteen was also looking forward to going to aunt loris today & sleeping over but dad might be stuck working if it continues to snow.
we will have to wait & see what the day brings.
let me just say...
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL, BE SAFE, MAY HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND JOY FILL YOUR NEW YEAR.

IF THEY ONLY KNEW,

THERE ARE TIMES IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I DO,
THOUGHTS FILLED WITH SORROW FIND THEIR WAY THROUGH.
THOUGH HURTFUL THE REALITY IS TRUE,
I DON'T KNOW YOUR VOICE, YOUR LAUGHTER.
MY WARM HUGS, MY LOVING TOUCH YOU HAVEN'T FELT.
SOME HOW I DREAM YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU.
I PRAY THERE COMES A TIME WE FILL EACH OTHERS DAY.

YES IT IS TRUE....

Someone asked who wrote the "JUST FOR YOU" & "YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, DON'T YOU" poems.
When I was a teenager and in my twenty's I wrote very often, but since then only once in a very long while. Lately I do feel like it is coming back. I write a thought down, then more sort of flood in, I rewrite every line until the writing reflects my exact thoughts. I am not comfortable calling my writings poems because they never rhyme...I know a poem doesn't have to rhyme but still I use the word for lack of another. This is the perfect place for me to keep a log of my writings.
So for my record, I have began writing again in Dec 2008.

What Can I Say

Those who know me well, know my favorite colors are blue, green, burgundy, generally darker colors. For the better part of this year my favorite color is pink, go figure.
So until I have the time to attempt to go fancy, this will do.

oh my gosh

Where have I been....
I should be catching up and finding a new design for my bloggin' Oh My.

On The East End Of Long Island....

it snowed all night and we ended up getting 5-7 inches,
today it is still a winter wonderland on my block as it has not been plowed,
DJ and Thomas and some of their friends can not get enough of the snow, and since our driveway slopes down it is great for sleds, snow boards etc. and the boys are enjoying it ALOT.

Even Though I Really Do Not Like The Cold...

IT IS SNOWING BIG TIME..
EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE A BEAUTIFUL WINTER WONDERLAND...
OVER HERE ON THE EAST END IT STARTED SNOWING AROUND 11 AM AND IT IS NOW 4:45 PM
IT IS 32 DEGREES AND 3 INCHES OR SO OF SNOW AND IT IS STILL SNOWING AWAY.
VERY WINDY TOO, SO WHEN YOU LOOK OUTSIDE IT IS PRETTY MUCH A WHITE-OUT.
I KNOW TOMORROW IT WILL BE A SLIPPERY MESS,
BUT LIKE I SAID FOR NOW, WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A WINTER WONDERLAND.
AND I AM LOVIN' IT. UMMM FROM INDOORS THAT IS. =) =)

JUST FOR YOU..........

I have a Brother who's laugh is infectious,

My Brother can always turn your mood around,

I have a Brother who is gentle as he is strong,

My Brother is a family man, one to be emulated,

I have a Brother who I know is always there for me,

My Brother is a man I hold close to my heart,

I have a Brother who is my hero,

Though he doesn't know, it is true,

Lil' Brother this is written just for you.
