This morning I found myself in a Walmart in a city that I lived and went to school(
a little history )after my mom told me I couldn't live at home anymore and when she told me this lovely news I was dating a guy who had two little children and was going through a divorce not the best decision now that I look back on it but I say you have to experience the bad love to appreciate the good love.
Well this guy and I were engaged but i wasn't sure about that decision so I kept delaying and then one night he smacked me it wasn't hard but it was enough to open my eyes and I called the engagement off and broke up with him. Although my heart hurt I knew this was the best. One of my biggest pet peeves is domestic violence.
This morning as I said in the beginning I found myself in Walmart getting supplies for our family reunion in my little cart I heard a voice that said hello stranger and I knew without looking who it was. He said long time no see I said yep almost 14 years of long time no see. He asked how many children I had and if I was still married ( did I mention my wedding ring set is unwearable at the moment) I answered 2 and yes still married to the same guy he asked how long I said 17 years. He asked did Mike treat me well and I said yes he did.
I asked about him and he said that he has a girlfriend they have been together for about 12 years and he said something to me that amazed me he said he was sorry for the way he acted and that he made a big mistake he doesn't go a day without realizing what a mistake he made and said I have never hit another woman.
I never for a minute regretted marrying Mike I never regretted breaking off the previous engagement if I could go back and tell myself something it would be to be aware of this guy as I look back on it it was not a good relationship and it was not a relationship that I should have been in.
He asked if I had a good life and I answered besides the few bumps we have had this year yes I love my life even the bumps has taught me lessons. It was nice talking with him and he did ask if me and Mike would join him and his girlfriend for dinner sometime and I said no not really I want the past to stay in the past I am not the same person I was back then and truthfully he is not someone that I see myself being friends with. But its nice to know that I opened his eyes and its nice to know that I stopped someone from abusing women by stopping it from happening to me.
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend

I was bad
I have been bad today I didn't walk I didn't put in my contacts I did shower (that in its self is a blessing). Mike asked if I was feeling okay and I said yeah I just didn't want to do anything so my bum has been on the loveseat most of the day surfing and just vegging out.
I did cook supper and I made a discovery today I don't like my glasses as much as I thought I did. I walked up to the school to pick up J's fundraising tickets and signed the form I would be responsible for them they are for country fair stores if anyone is interested let me know.
See what else is going on Mike did walk yaaay for him. Thats about it was a good day and I don't feel bad.
Tomorrow will be busy.

Pay off (I think)
Monday my wonderful husband is to start classes Monday August 10th. He is excited and nervous at the same time I am excited for him he has always wanted to drive truck but gave it up to help me with the kids when they were young although he will miss us and we will miss him its time he gets to do something that he has always wanted to do and this I think will be good for our family.
I walked 2 miles today Mike did 4 I am so proud of him for taking this seriously and his sugar is going down he has been drinking tons of water with sugar free mixes we have always used splenda in tea but we think something in the tea was causing his sugar to be high. While I always try to eat healthy we have made more changes such as wheat bread and when I make bread I will be making it with wheat germ or wheat flour if I can find it. I make my bread without sugar if anyone is interested in how this works leave a comment or email me at redfrog27@yahoo.com or marlrice@verizon.net.
I finally tracked down the lady at career links then I had a talk with Ms S about her message taking skills. J has had band camp this week and is just worn out he has happy tonight when he got the message that fire school had been canceled tonight.
The kids start school Sept 2nd I cant think of anything else going on tomorrow seems like its going to be a calm day nothing on the schedule except walking.

I want off this crazy ride
Between the learning how to drive, parallel parking was attempted today and we still need to work on this. The various loops that we are jumping through for Mikes school and my family reunion coming up on Saturday ,walking I am not sure if we are coming or going could someone please help me or shoot me your choice.
We keep playing phone tag with various school officials, career links, drs offices. and my cousin April my co planner on the reunion, my mom who thinks I am avoiding her and my sister in law Karen and Mikes dad. If my lovely daughter tells me one more time that Career links called and I or Mike need to call them back then has no clue who to ask for I think I will scream then ban her from answering the phone at least then they will have to speak to the answering machine and hopefully will leave their name and extension so I don't spend a hour tracking down people.
A note to weatherization people if you call and set up a time to do an energy audit and I cancel appts to make you fit and you call back and cancel and ask if this date would be better I may hurt yall. Twice they have done that.
On top of all that I need to make sure J turned in fundraising stuff for marching band and dog detail cause of band camp this week. Lets see what else I think thats about it see you would want off this crazy ride also.
I miss blogging and reading other blogs. I will get caught up soon ( I hope)

Why I didnt blog yesterday
Yesterday started out harmlessly enough got up and showered did the contact thing and did some errands then it was time for Mikes drs appt which didnt go quite like we expected his sugars are too high if he doesnt get them down then it will be insulin and he cant drive.
The dr said you need to exercise to bring the sugar down and that is what we did but let me back up a little I drove yesterday from Conneaut Lake home doing 45 to 60 with Mike saying slow down he told my brother he sees speeding tickets in my future. Can I just state its hard not to go fast with the wind blowing in your hair and great music on the radio lol.
Okay back to the excerise portion of the blog we came home and grabbed Buford and walked a local dam someday I will remember to take the camera with me and take picutres it is absolutly breathtaking view. Mike did the brisk 2 mile walk thing me and Buford did the Mile thing at our own pace less me and less Buford would be great the three months sitting on the loveseat did not help my waistline at all.
It felt great then we went to Mikes brothers for a late supper. Which was fairly healthy and grilled. I felt great after the walk the foot didnt hurt I got up this morning and my hip was bothering me but me and S and Buford walked the mile again and Mike and Pepper did the 2 mile walk I told Mike he did resistance training with Pepper wanting to do other things.
I did not drive today for one thing I took tramadol and I dont dare drive with that and Second I hurt kind of and I dont want to drive when I dont feel well I figure I will feel better after I get used to walking again can I just say it felt great to get out and moving.

Driving take 2
Today I drove our car which is a caviliar with Mike I figured he would have me a nervous wreck time we got home I drove about 10 miles with traffic I did fine this time I also went a little faster.
Mike was calm and the only thing he said to me was to keep my speed up need to move with traffic but not go over the speed limit. The only time he paniced is when I almost took out my brothers car and the garage hey I know that we need to work on parking I will admit that.
Onto Ms Peaches (still have not found my camera cord) S has a pair of slippers that are white grey and black and Peaches suckles and kneads them it is so funny we call the one not the momma the other cats are starting to interact with her and I think everyone will be just fine. We were offered three more kittens that the family cant keep and the shelters are full we said sorry but no. As much as I would love to we just cant I cant shell out another 500 dollars to get animals spayed or neutred. Some months its hard enough just to keep a roof over everyones head furry and otherwise.
Tomorrows post Social Security and Unemployment mistakes it should be interesting with a lot of 4 letter words that start with the letter f and I dont mean fire.

Brothers and A Birthday dinner
Today is my moms birthday and since we were busy on moms day dealing with a loss I didnt get to do much for her on moms day so I said hey mom lets go to erie your favorite restraunt. We were suppose to go Friday but she was busy.
I cant go tomorrow have other things on my list so at 5 ( a little late) we headed out to my moms and I didnt drive cause my other brother Ken was upset that I wasnt there yet so bubba the other brother drove super fast with Ken calling and yelling I got to the point that I said to Ken quit yelling at me or you will find yourself in next week a couple days early dont take the attitude from my husband not going to take it from you.
He calmed down a little and got up there and I was prepared to pay for mine and moms but Ken paid for them all. Maybe he felt guilty for his attitude earlier.
Tomorrow I hope to get to drive more I enjoyed yesterdays little adventure I did not drive in Erie or on the interstate nor home not ready for that adventure yet.
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend
