Blogger’s Delight

I am still kind of bummed about my kids not wishing me a happy mother’s day. I was hoping that maybe their card was late, but no. No card. Sigh.

I know that I should not be this upset but I am. I will get over it and move on. It just hurts me. I just kind of feel like John sometimes messes with me. He tells me that the kids say one thing and then when I ask them about what he said, they tell me that they did not say that.

School is going well. I am happy there. Very happy. With the information I found out about traveling and going on a cruise, I am so very happy. I can go on an Alaskan cruise and even if it goes to Canada, I am okay even though I don’t have a passport. Yay! Well, I gotta go. Ciao!

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is usually a bitter sweet day for me and this one is no exception. Doug took me to brunch at O’Mara’s and it was so good! The food was amazing including the beef tips. He also got me a card and is getting me dinner.

It has been a nice quiet day and I have enjoyed it, but here is the bitter part. I have not heard from my kids all day. No phone call, no card, no email, nothing. Now I know that they know it is Mother’s Day because I am sure that they got the Grandmothers’ something. At least a card.

I am thinking that this is John’s doing, but if I ask he will say that the kids chose to not call, etc. If I ask the kids they will blame John, so it is a no win situation because if I confront John he will possibly cut me off from them. But I suffer if I don’t say anything.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Have a great day.

MIA For A Couple of Days

I did not start out to be not blogging for two days, it sort of happened that way.  I always try to make an entry everyday and for the last couple of days, well, I wish I had a really good reason why, but I don’t. Not really. I have been still recovering and my body has been telling me to sleep, so I have been sleeping a lot.

School is going well and I am still liking it a lot. I have not been feeling really great the last few days and I am not having any symptoms, so I am not headed back to the doctor just yet. Hopefully it will pass soon. The Symbicort is working well for me and I am glad that my doctor put me on it. My asthma was way out of control and it really was like trying to breathe through a straw. Not a great thing.

I wanted to do an entry this morning before I got busy with school stuff or I fell asleep. I will try to not stay away for so long next time. Ciao!

Tuesday, the End of My Week

So, with the new school comes a new week. Nothing unusual there really. Today ( Tuesday) is the end of my week at school. Tomorrow ( Wednesday) starts my week all over again.

I have a confession to make…. I am totally in love with Michael Buble. I caught a couple of interviews with him on various shows and he is very funny and has an amazing sense of humor. He really does not take himself all that seriously. I know some of you are rolling your eyes at me, but he is rather cute too.

I actually really like his music too. He reminds me of Sinatra. Who I totally love. I know what you are thinking and yes, I know. I am fascinated by the younger Sinatra and the times he lived. The Vegas back then was awesome and I am sorry I missed that Vegas. The Vegas of my day (right now) seems so gaudy and like it is trying to hard.

I am not sure how to explain it. I miss the Lauderdale ( Florida) of the 60’s too. There are still tiny peeks of it around, but back then it was the most happening place. Just like Vegas back then. I am not sure if it is the simpler times I am missing or what.

Miami Beach too actually. Now a days I would not go into Miami with out a armed escort and a armored car. It is that bad. I guess that is the price we pay for progress. I do not know. I miss those places when they were cool.

Plans and Being Late.

Okay, I know I am late today with an entry. Not really my fault. My body is still recovering from not getting a lot of sleep when I had the horrible cough. So, I am sleeping a lot lately.

We are in the middle of making plans to go to Indiana in June. We are going to Amish country and most likely spending the night. We are going with his dad and The Sister. Hopefully it will be okay. She has been okay lately but I never know with her until she starts talking.

School is going well and so far I have an A. Yeah, I celebrate the little victories like getting perfect points on my first discussion question. Celebrating the small victories leads to bigger victories. Yay me!!

Well, I am going to go, I am starving!! Ciao!

Sunday Restful Sunday

So, yesterday we went to a few places to get the shower head and I had to put some money in the bank. I usually do not go out on the weekends unless we go to dinner or something. I now know why that is! I went to Panera Bread yesterday with Doug for lunch. It was so good!

I made BBQ pork yesterday and we needed to go get buns, so we added this stop to our list. Home Depot was a mad house! So busy! We got a showerhead, I am waiting for Doug to install it so we can make sure that it works for him.

Dinner was really good last night. I made homemade BBQ pork and we had mac and cheese as well. We had originally gotten buns to have sandwiches, but we ended up having the pork without the buns.  I am tired today, still recovering from being so sick for so long.

I am still working on my project for class, I am hoping I can get it done today. Maybe later, I just got up. Doug also asked me to help him pick up the larger sticks in the yard today. Hoping it will rain. LOL. Ciao!

Saturday Update

Last night’s seminar was really interesting and a lot better than the week before. Which is good for me, because while science is not my subject of choice, if it is interesting it is better. This week everyone was actually paying attention and there was very little repeating, which is even better for me!

I tend to forget that not everyone is like me, in the fact that I do pay attention and I try to follow directions. I am very into my school and I get a bit upset when others interrupt that for me. The first seminar people were asking the same exact questions and not paying attention, which made it tedious for me.

Today I have to go to Home Depot to look at shower heads for the shower here in the basement. The Sister gave us a shower head for our bathroom and because I am shorter than Doug, it works wonderfully for me, but it does not adjust so it does not work well for him. No big deal.

My breathing is 100% better than last week at this time, which I am grateful for. When it gets closer to me running out of my Symbicort, I have to call the doctor because she will give me several more samples so that I don’t have to spend a ton of money on it, which is great! I am also going to get another rescue inhaler to put in the car. I have one here, but sometimes I forget to put it in my pocket in case. If there is one in the car, then it would be better.

I am sleeping so much better since the meds have worked and the inhalers have kicked in. I am so glad for that too. It is hard to concentrate when you are tired all the time.

This weekend will be spent working on my project due for my science class and finishing my discussion question, which I should do soon, but I just got up so I am trying to wake up so when I write my answer, it will be easy to understand. So, I will do that later. Maybe after Home Depot and I eat.

We are going to go to Panera Bread. One of my favorite places here. I love this place. I always get the same thing, a half of a Panini and a salad. Well, it used to be soup, until I tried the salads. They are awesome!! I am looking forward to that for sure today.

I am going to run for now. Ciao!
