     Holy shit y'all....I did that thing that I do.  I did it a lot!  What thing?  I let life get in the way of something that I love doing.  It has been 3 years, THREE since I have posted on this blog.
     When I started it, I was so happy, so excited to be writing.  I love writing!  The problem?  I have the attention span of a newly hatched GNAT!
     So much has happened in 3 years.  We decided that we were unhappy in California and came home to Kentucky.  The trip home was worth at least 10 blog posts!  What an experience, driving across country with 2 teenagers and a cat, pulling our life behind us in a jam packed trailer.  Kind of like a small band of gypsies.
     We started a business.  Sod.  Not much of a story there, who wants to hear about work??

      The big news...we had a baby this year!  Completely and totally by accident, like two kids that do not know how this happens.  I had a 40th birthday surprise, in the shape of a 7 pound, 3 ounce baby girl.
      My now middle child just turned 16, so this is pretty much starting over and things are totally different than they were when he was born in 1998.  Apparently I am behind the times, a bunch.  But that's OK.  I have always marched to my own drummer.
     Stay tuned folks, I have a whole new world of things to blog about.  You might not always agree with me, but I promise to keep your attention....one way or another....

Feel the Earth Shake

By
"Two earth quakes and a kajillion after shocks in 2 days and i didn't feel a damn thing. I guess i should consider myself lucky, but dammit, I could have at least felt a little bitty rumble." blog post started by me on January 8, 2010. I got busy doing something else and logged off. Then we have the Haiti disaster and I feel awful for even thinking that, much less putting the thought out there. I'm bitching about not feeling a itty bitty earth quake and those people are fighting to survive after not only feeling the big one, but losing everything that they own. I am going to say that I am ashamed of myself for whining over choosing to leave things behind when we moved....I have the ability to get new things, and I brought what was important with me, family photos, mementos, antiques, my favorite clothing, gifts from my husband that I would never part with, even the clothes that I burned in.....and my husband and children. I am ashamed of whining abou...

Trump Passes law That Includes Over $14 Million for Lupus Research!

By
SEP. 28, 2018 President Signs Bill Providing $14 Million for Lupus Research President Donald J. Trump signed into law today a fiscal 2019 spending package that includes more than $14 million in new funding specifically for lupus research and education. The House of Representatives and Senate already approved the spending bill, which also provides a significant funding boost to a record $39.1 billion for biomedical research through the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The spending package combines the Fiscal Year 2019 Department of Defense (DoD) Appropriations bill with the Fiscal Year 2019 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (LHHS) Appropriations bill. For more details on how this spending bill impacts lupus research and education, please read our earlier post, House Sends Lupus Research Funding to President’s Desk. This funding victory would not have been possible without the efforts of our lupus advocates from across the country, the Congressional Lupus C...

Hissy Fits...and other Southern Charms

By
     Yesterday, I threw a good ol' fasihioned Princess size HISSY FIT.  his·sy 2 (hĭs'ē)  his·sies Chiefly Southern and South Midland U.S. noun, plural ‑sies. Slang. a fit of anger; temper tantrum. Blame it on being spoiled, blame it on PMS, blame it on boredom, hell, blame it on Obama.  The plain truth of the matter is that I just felt like throwing one, and being me....well, I went right ahead and did it.  All i wanted was the house clean.  Ok, so it was already CLEAN, but you know the messes I'm talking about.       Kid  messes that THEY should clean up but don't random toys laying here and there, stacks of magazines, husband messes of the same sort....and your own mommy junk laying around...the nail polish that it was just too much trouble to carry back to the bathroom even thought you go there 20 times a day, old coupons, and uhoh...I left my shoes out too.     ...
