sick and update and some whining

Everyone but J is sick in my house me Mike and S either have a sore throat or a full blown cold Mike is miserable but isnt being miserable to everyone else.

The update and whining kind of go hand and hand so here it goes.

Mikes blood pressure is down the medicine is working which I am glad of and he wants to be working this last 4 months of him being off has really been hard for him he has always worked since the age of 17. I am ready for steady income although we have done pretty good with our reduced income but I am ready to buy pop tarts for the kids again. But what I struggle with is I am so going to miss him when he is on the road I can do it I tell myself to buck up this has to be done for our family.

I am hoping the company that he choose is right that he will be home most weekends. I told him and my friend Lyn that I will sleep with a t shirt of his on one hand this sounds silly but on the other hand it doesnt and will may help me miss him less.

That is all for now I hope every one is warm and enjoying fall leaves where they are changing.

Muscle Gods

I love my life I love what I have taught my children about compassion and acceptance but can I say I want a new body.

I would just like one day that I could do want to do without hurting or afraid to hurt. I have angered the Muscle gods but good I cant even bend over without pain it was so bad I thought about going into the ER and see what they can do for me but between the skelation and tramadal it has settled down. It is cold and wet and windy here and has been for the last couple of days.

Nothing else to report at the moment.

The day

Sorry to be so late but someone needed some cheering up after she hit a barrel and cone and failed her drivers test. So my wonderful hubby took me out to dinner and over to see a dear friend.

I have rescheduled the drivers test and it will be in late Oct I know what I got flustered and forgot to put it in drive while still in reverse but its not the end of the world.

Updates while I was out of internet

Lots of things have happened with the 2 weeks no internet stupid phone company. My princess turned 13. Mike has his cdl license and is done with school and has a company lined up just waiting for a couple things to come together.

He finished with a 95 percent grade point average I am so proud of him. I am getting ready for drivers test on Saturday we have been parallel parking for ever and I am confident that I can do it enough to pass. If not its not the end of the world will just keep plugging away at it. I drove the interstates 90 and 79 the other day and loved it except when semis passed me but I kept my cool.

I think that is about it.

An Evil Phone Company!!!

I hate hate hate my phone company Verizon did I mention I hate them. In June my internet contract expired and I agreed to renew it and keep my dsl and they were going to bill me for 70 dollars a month for 2 years for long distance,caller id and all them cool features and dsl well my bills were for 115 a month and I called and complained and was told we will straighten it out just pay the 70 dollars and you will be good.

Well I did that I paid my bill each month on time and they turned off my caller id and long distance saying that I wasn't paying my bills in full I thought okay no big deal I have the cell whatever but I was calling the evil company and told them what was going on and they said dont worry it will all work out this was told to me by a supervisor.

So I got up and my wi fi wasnt working so I figured it was out and didnt worry about it to much so about 5 I called the tech support and they told me that there was no outages and asked me about a light on my modem and I told the guy the dsl light was blinking and he said oh thats not good. The phone company CANCELED MY INTERNET and would not turn it on till the bill was paid so I told them to take the internet and stuff it up there nose. First couple days of no internet was fine no withdraws would look at the laptop and then find something else to take my mind off of it. 3rd day I called my local cable company and they said sorry we cant help you unless you subscribe to cable and I said no thank you I love our directv.

Verizon called me and said we would like to offer you a deal 2 years of dsl fastest speed they offer virus protect and Pc protection for about 40 dollars and they can take it out of my bank account each month. Still fighting on the other bill but at least I am back and I love my internet. I have missed you all and have a couple of blogs to get caught up on.

My Community

We have a Stryker unit in our community and our unit was deployed to Iraq for 9 months but was in Tn for 3 months before they were sent to Iraq. So these guys were away from their families for over a year. They have been coming back in waves starting Saturday they had two buses come in and our local fire departments and police and motorcycle group of Viatanam war veterans greeting them. Sunday they had 10 men come in and they still greeted them no matter how small the group is the community turns out to support the guys.

If you would like to see some of the pictures you can go to www.meadvilletribune.com to check them out. It is nice to support our troops and welcome them back.
