"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

am i sane~

nov. 24

...am i sane...

i am starting to woner if i am sane
maybe just maybe
 because i am so far past already losing my sanity
insanity has been
 i think
and simply brought me back
full circle
to being sane
once more

can this make any sense at all

mind you all...i am joking
no need to worry
...i haven't gone off my rocker quite yet...

but if i may
let me paint my picture for you

SATURDAY

*remember it started snowing!
*around 3:00 am i heard a loud noise
i ran into the room
as i thought one may have fallen off the bed
*everyone sound asleep...in beds
*i look out the kitchen window...nothing to be seen
*i sit down and share with you all for the day
*get all ready to head up to the mountains
*husband leaves to auto part store
*husband returns home
*husbands comes inside to share such news


yes this is one of our cars
that became a victim of the most silliest of crimes
so innocent he was
just sitting outdoors
doors even unlocked
case someone felt the need to help themselves

yet these smart criminals
did not even stop to think
all they had to do was open the door
and reach in for the stereo

this i was not going to bother to share...
i was able to move past it
shaking my head


SUNDAY

*1:00 am one little rises
with a body that is roasting
on fire
103 temp
burning up was he


*our day was spent watching the snow
snuggled up as a family
quietly in our home


i think this was a silent way of preparing us for what was to come


MONDAY

*one little wakes still with a temp
*the roads lay frosty and glazed with sheets of ice
*one husband makes his way to work
*our truck realizes its on its last leg
*the wind kicks up
*the temp begins to drop
*the mail man comes with letters to give
*my grandfathers documents are all safely at hand
*yet as i start looking at these pieces
my heart begins to sink a bit
each piece has a different birth date
so i am keeping my faith that a birth certificate
 they still will provide
*one little so so sad he can not go out into the snow


*one older one sweetest that can be
goes outdoors to brave the colder weather
and make a friend for thee
*husband returns home to tell the truck kept dying  for he needs to buy an alternater
*7:30pm husband and wee little
fall asleep on the couch


*one older had been begging me all day
to get out in the snow and play with him


*two beautiful angels were made
*a mama and son spent some quality time together

now at this point you may be saying
well this isn't so bad
oh please do keep on reading my friends
for my adventure
is really going to turn

*we come inside and calls i've missed
*i call my sister to hear her say
she has lost power from the winds
 that came our way
adn could you please look up online
the signs and symptoms of a blood clot please
*long story short
doctor tells her its her choice to go in to the er
she could wait and see
 if her blood pressure gets higher
*now its 9:oopm
19 degrees outside
snowing
icy roads
winds 25 miles per hour
*she chooses to wait and see what happens
*one little wakes up crying
fever has hit 103 degrees once more
*care to one little
*and off to bed i finally go


TUESDAY

*5:30 am i start to wake my l♥ve
for i know he will need an early start
to make it into work
*one husband walks outside to start his truck
*one husband comes back into the garage
 to visit with me for a minute


*we together hear
OUR TRUCK START IDLING HIGH
WE HEAR OUR TRUCK POP INTO GEAR
down comes two coffee cups
out we run
to see right before our very eyes
OUR TRUCK IN REVERSE
DRIVING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY
BARELY MISSING A CAR DRIVING BY
 HEADING STRAIGHT INTO
OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE
BY FATE
IT VEARS A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT
THE BACK TIRES HOP UP
ONTO THEIR  ROCKERY
AND TAKES DOWN THEIR FENCE
ONE TRUCK BECOMES STUCK
*one husband is able to get inside
and drive our wild naughty truck back home
*two people
husband and wife
just stare at eachother in disbelief
*they both just start laughing uncontrollably
THIS IS NO JOKE EITHER
OR STORY MADE UP
this is just a mere glimpse
 of
my reality
my life
*one husband gets calmed down,
cleaned up and heads off to work
*one little rises with hopes of a fever finally broke
*one sister calls
and says she needs to go in to the e.r
*so off i go gathering our things
and bundling my littles
*we hop in the car
 and i ask them to please be very quiet
as their mama really has not much experience
driving in the snow
and her tires are those
meant for racing not snow playing
* i pick up my sister
*give my l♥ve a call
to ask him to come get the boys on his way home
*one l♥ve comes by the hospital
*three boys safely return home
*one sister is discharged with flying stars
*one mama makes her way slowly back home
*8:00pm she calls her parents and reports all is well
and she makes the smarta** remark of what else could go on
*she says her goodnights to the men in her house
*she crawls into her nice warm soft bed
*one little comes in who needs a cuddle
*two have quietly dozed off to sleep
*"mama" she hears..."i'm gonna frow up"
before i can even think
i throw back our covers and hold up my little
all over my bed it goes
*two others hear me yell
*cleaned up we all get
and try once more to lay down quietly
and go to bed
* two more times through the night this did occur
*one little is finally sleeping as i type
*one husband has safely arrived at work
*and me i sit here hoping and wishing for nothing more

so as for this coming holiday
really i have no idea where we will be

do i feel bad
NO
just tired
i sit and am thankful
that though a car has been broken into
it is still here
though a truck mindlessly ran off
and destructed a fence
no one was hurt all can be fixed
one trip to the er
just reassured us all is alright
one little sick
well really it could be far worse
to the urgent care we will go
and i am sure
 in a day or so he will be on the mend

i sit and am thankful that we have a vehicles, we have family around us, littles we l♥ve,
for we could be without any of this
and what excitement would that be for one
so today and always
i am blessed and thankful for all that i have
~i wish you all a wonderful holiday ahead~

and to all who have joined my swap
please be a bit patient
 as i gather everyones info and match up partners...
there will be a little delay
but don't let that stop you from creating or gathering...
hopefully an email i will send by the end of this day

Sounds like you've had a rough time of it. Poor baby. It always got to me when my little ones were sick. They just didn't seem to understand...and although they are not little anymore, 32 and 26, they're still my babies and I still worry. We always do.

Cellar Door said...

What an unfurling this has been! As the story was being told, my mind's eye projected a "you" spicing and dicing yourself into many other "yous," each stronger than the next! I am thankful for the strength that was all of "you," that of which saw you through the turbulence and enabled you to comfort and nourish your sweetly loved ones. Goodness, who would ever imagine that the "waters" could rise so high, so all at once?! God bless you!

Best Thanksgiving Day Wishes,
Cellar Door

That you can find things to be thankful for within all the chaos, mishaps and sickness is amazing and really a testament to how wonderful you are. Now I think you are due some smooth sailing. Happy Thanks Giving!

FW-there are just times when we do not seem to have control-all just spins off-and you seem to really have had a time of it. All I can do is read and pause and then send you a few +ve vibes, a little energy to increase the balance. Go well. B
