Geneology and Family Happenings

Hello everyone!!  It's been a long time since I've posted a long blog.  So here goes!!

Family life:
My son was up visiting with us for a month while hubby had his last surgery.  He is 20 years old and not sure what he wants to do with his life yet.  There is talk of him going to school to become a motorcycle mechanic.  We shall see about that one.

My daughter is enjoying her Freshman year of high school so far.  She turned 14 the first week of September.  She is blossoming into a beautiful young lady.  Tonight is the Homecoming Dance at her high school.  She is over her friend's house to get ready for tonight later this afternoon.  I'll be over there later with camera in hand taking lots of pics!!

My hubby has had 2 hernia repair surgeries.  One in August and One in September.  The first one was the wicked one- the left side.  The right side wasn't as bad as the left.  Recovery has been slow...but he's on the mend and he went back to work yesterday.  WOOHOO!!!

Me:  Well, life has been a roller coaster for the past 18 months.  The wheels of justice move incredibly slow.  I don't even want to get into what I have been going through with legal battles.  It's a nightmare and I can't wait till I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

My father passed away last month.....days before his 67th birthday.  That was a very sad time.

I still don't have a relationship with my Mom. That has been going on for over 2 years now. My brother is a strange fellow. We have a strained relationship.  He is the favorite child-- always has been.  That could have a little bit to do with it.  My one sister lives with my mother and is a trouble starting drama queen.  Needless to say there is no relationship with her, either. My baby sister and I had a falling out last February over things that were said about my Dad.  There is a lot to be said about that but I will leave that alone for now.

Other happenings:
I started to write a book.  It is slow going. Whether this thing will EVER get in the hands of a publisher- who
knows!?!?

I signed up to sell Avon.  I was an Avon rep a long time ago and I decided to give it a shot out where I live now.  I thought it would be a great opportunity to meet new people.  We shall see how it goes.

I started working on our Family Tree.  It is growing all the time with everyone I remember and what I can research online.  It is truly amazing and I am enjoying every minute of time I put into it.

I am in the process of getting stains out of the carpet in the bedroom that my son occupied.  Apparently between liquid spills from my son.....and a few my pet added......I had a bit of a mess to clean.  It is a windy day today and I have the window open in that room as I use Resolve Pet Stain remover.  Wish me luck with that!!  And if you have any tips on home remedies.....please feel free to share!!

Well....that's all for now.  Thanks for stopping by!!
