Memorys

 
This reminds me of when I was a kid. I lived in a white and red brick home in San Diego California. It was a wonderful home to grow up in. We had a pool and a large hill area where we could dig big holes and fill them with water and get all dirty. Our parents were not worried about us getting dirty or us playing on the hill that our house was built on. We all had our turns getting poison oak every summer, but we knew that we were taking that risk but going up there. We would play on this huge flat rock that had a cave. We would play a lot of imagination games like school or that we were stranded on a island.
My parents wanted to try raising rabbits so my dad used a shed that was on the property as a rabbit house. The rabbits kept being scared to death by the neighbors dogs so my parents stopped raising them. By the time I was born the rabbit house was just an empty shed. My older sisters would tell me about the rabbits and why they were gone. But the wonderful thing is that right next to the rabbit house was a pepper tree that looked like a weeping willow. So the tree covered the whole shed and draped down the sides. It was a fun place to hide and play.
I have so many fond memory's of that house. It had four bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. I come from a large family of nine so my dad decided that since two of the rooms were so large that he would split them down the middle and built a wall to divide them. so we ended up with six rooms. the older kids got there own rooms and us younger ones shared. I shared with my little sister Susan. We had so much fun together in that little room. At one point my fourth oldest sister Lara move into our room. My dad built a bunk bed that was suspended above my bed. He had it braced agents two walls. It had a folding latter that my sister would unlock and fold down to get in and fold it back up and lock when she got out. I thought it was the coolest bed ever. Eventually the rooms were just getting to small so my dad decided something. Us kids were out playing in the pool and he came walking out and said "Who wants their own room"? Heidi my fifth oldest sister sad "I DO" so my dad built a little tiny room in our T.V. room that was converted from a garage. That little room had a custom bed that had two drawers under it. Heidi got to pick her carpet, it was purple I think. I don't remember if it had wallpaper in it or not.

So many more memory's to come.

Happy fourth

I am so thankful for the wonderful men and women who helped us to have the freedoms we have now. The freedom of speech the freedom of religion the freedom of lifestyle and so many more. I feel so blessed to have been born in the USA. I am thankful for everything that I have. Having heard how life is out of the USA makes my heart bleed with pain. I am so sorry that life is hard for those wonderful children of god all over the world, In and out of the United States. It makes me wonder how I was blessed to be born in the USA and to a good family who loves me. All of the people in other places of the world have it so much harder. I guess God knows what he is doing, I cannot think of any other explanation. Happy Independence day :)

Hello

I have been getting large pain full bumps on my body for the past few months.  I had one that looked kind of weird on my leg a few months ago and went in to see my doctor and he said that it was a staph infection.  He told me that if I get more then one at a time to come back in.  Well, I did notice a few weeks after the one on my leg faded away that I had another one and thought nothing of it because it was just one.  Well I looked at it closer and found that I had a sprinkling of red dots all around the same area.  So I made an appointment and went in, my Dr told me to avoid taking long showers  and to stay away from pools and to use lotion.   I am taking a huge pill twice a day and we hope that it will fix the problem.  For the ones who don't know about staph infections,  if it is not taken care of it could get into my blood stream and give me pneumonia and if it gets bad it could kill me.  My doctor told me that sense I am young and have no other complications that I should be OK.  It will take about six months to get rid of it all together.  So I am a bit worried but not to bad.

I have decided to do something very hard, you know that guy I like from work?  Well, he plays Frisbee every Wednesday and Saturday.  I was playing with him every week until I found out that he was in a relationship. So, I have decided that in order for me to get past the idea that he has a girlfriend I need to involve my self with them instead of hiding.  I want to keep playing Frisbee with him and if she is there then I can get past the pain faster, I hope.  I want him to know that I want to keep spending time with him away from work.  I don't want the pain but I really don't want to lose his friendship.  So I hope that I can get past it and have fun. I am going today and my tummy is all tied up in knots and full of butterfly's.

 Oh and I found out last Friday that my old (almost boyfriend) is returning to Nu Skin.  Ugh!!! God give my strength.

Ahhh :)

Hello, all of you wonderful people.  This weekend is one that I look forward to every six months, conference weekend.  I just finished the Saturday sessions and am looking forward to Sundays.  During conference today I decided I would clean my house, you know what? when a my house is clean it is a home.  You can do whatever you want.  You don't have the thought of the sink full of dishes looming over your head.  You can just relax and enjoy the rest of your day. 

I was sitting in my TV room after conference and began to worry about things I have no control over and then it hit me.  Why do us women worry about the tiny little things in life?  Like for instance, your texting your (hope to soon be boyfriend) and he just stops texting with no reply or explanation to why.  So, me being a girl I start to worry about why he didn't answer back.  So many other things us women worry so much about.. but why do we? It drives me crazy sometimes.  I wish during those times that I could just turn off my worry and take a deep breath and think rationally.  But why do we need to nit pick at things?  Why do we need to always know how our relationship is going?  When men just go with the flow and if things change they tell us.

But I am also very glad to a woman because of all the other things we can do that men can't.  I was watching a show that was testing the myth that women can take pain better then men.  I am happy to say that it was true that women can tolerate pain longer then men.  I love that we can create life and help bring it into the world.  We have so much power in our hands if we only know how to use it we could in a small way rule the world.  I have this little saying on my wall that says" I am fairly certain that given a cape and a nice tiara I could save the world"  It makes me smile when I see it.  We need to keep our hopes high and always have a project your working on or towards.  Keep reminders around your house that can help you remember.  If you have goal to remodel your home keep a jar for any loose change you may have from day to day.  Save for those things that you want.  Even if it is fifty cents a day it is a visual way of seeing progress.  I love the movie UP and how they had a large jar to put their change in.  It is a way to see that even though you may only have five dollars of change in the jar you are closer then you were when it was empty.

 Now it is something totally different when it comes to wanting a relationship or something else you cannot save for or count down to.  In those times you need to still keep the reminders that you want those things to come to pass.  Now, me being single do want to get married.  So what I do? I do things like instead of sleeping in the middle of my double bed I sleep on the side and instead of using my other closet I keep it empty.  I make room for the man in my life to move into.  Now, I don't set a place for him during dinner and talk to my self, that is going a bit too far.  I just make room for him in my life.

Ugh, I am sorry this must be boring to read.  But it helps me to get my mind off of things. I don't care if no one is reading this it just makes me happy.

Clean slate

OK, I am starting anew. I erased all of my past posts so I can start over with a new life so to say. 

I went running last night and loved it, I just went for about ten minuets but it was exciting and fun to do.  I want to fill my life with things that make me happy.  Things that can fill me with joy like this morning I decided in the spare time I had until I needed to go to work that I would pick up my craft room.  It made me happy to see my things and to pick them up and put them away.  I was reminded that I had so much in this life and should keep my self happy.  It also reminded me that I have a lot of purses. When I get board of one purse I go in to my craft room and look on my walls where they are hung and decided which one I would want to use.  When I decide on one I would just toss the other one onto a chair.  So when I was having to bend down almost 5 or 6 times to pick up another purse it reminded me that I have so many.

I hope that my mindless posts don't bore you.  It is part of my plan on being happier, writing on here is a way for me to forget what I worry about.  I say sorry again if you get board hearing about my ups and downs in life.  I feel more creative and it helps me to have something to look forward to.  It helps me to open up and to think of the positive things in life.  OK, something good that happened today......... um, well, I guess that so far I liked laughing during work as my friend Rodney was singing the opening songs to Three's Company and  the Golden Girls shows. It makes me so happy to have friends at work.

Well, I am still looking for a full time job.  If anyone who knows of a job opening please let me know, anything anywhere. I would do anything to get back into my field.  For ones who don't know I went to school to be an Ophthalmologist, Optician's assistant.  It gives me so much joy to work with people and children, *sigh* oh well I will go wherever the lord wants me to go.
