Just watching the news and found out that Elizabeth Taylor died today.  How sad but she is more comfortable now since they said she had been struggling for years with her heart problems.  It’s sad to see so many talented people die within the last few years.  It kinda makes me feel like a part of my live is over, I don’t know why but it’s weird.
I had my BBT for a few days and just took him back on Monday.  He is such a sweetie and took him over to Elaines where he is feeling real comfortable at now lol.  A lala is getting so big and she can hold her own head up now, just makes it feel so much different when you’re holding her.  She is smiling but she makes you work like Hell to get one haha. Shes too cute. 
We’re having Micah and Rylie’s 2nd birthday party this Saturday at Jayme’s clubhouse at the trailer park.  I just can’t believe they’re gonna be 2 already.  Where does time go? Oh well I really enjoy watching them grow and Micah is a riot…too cute for her own good.  It’s so cute when I go to see them and haveta make room for both of them on each side of me.  They just love to snuggle up.  Little a lala has to wait till I can break away for a minute before I can get to her.  I just wish that I had enough room to keep both Micah and Rylie at the same time cause the one that doesn’t get to go always gets so upset when I leave them.  But it also gives the one a little time to be the only one and get all the attention from me.  Hoping that Jayme and Zac can make it up here at least once a week this summer so we can enjoy the Lake! We gotta get little Alala used to the water.
So I have Wades doggie, Tajza.  She was in heat and boy we were afraid that she may be prego since when she was at Tammy’s she was tied up outside and she didn’t know she was in heat and she has a male (bear) un-neutered doggie.  But Mario came down to check her out and said that since she was bleeding the way she was that she was ok but to watch her for the next 21 days real close.  I have been, just real happy that she isn’t prego, didn’t know what I was gonna do!
So I go thru this Hell trying to get best pricing and timing getting her spade.  The first couldn’t get her infor months!, the next wanted almost $300.00!! and Elaine called another vet and they wanted a little over $300.00!!  I was starting to really freak out.  Then I went online and found a place that doesn’t go by your income to spade or neuter animals and they only charge cost!  I have her setup for April 4th for $60.00!  Wow, thanks for the internet!
I’m really missing Wade I wish he would keep in closer contact with us.  I know Jayme is having a hard time with all of this.  She already thinks Texas is too far away as I do but would rather have him there and happy than here and in trouble and drugs.  I just always thought we would be closer than this.  I feel left out of his life and many say it’s cause of the drugs…they take front stage and that he doesn’t want me to know.  I love him with all my heart and always will and I will be here when and if he ever needs me or my help.
I’ve been on the Timothy Ferris 4 day body since the 9th and at this time I’ve lost 7 lbs.  It’s crazy because in the first 6 days I lost 10 lbs. and was having a party in my head! But then on the 7th day you get a free day and I really did lol cause I gained 5 lbs of it back within that day.  But he says that you will gain weight but that it will even back out thru the next 6 days and it did but by my next day off~yesterday~I was back to 227 ( but at 225 the day before) which is my initial 10 lb loss.  So I took it a little easy on my day off yesterday and skipped the fried lunch at DQ and just had the blizzard and then basically ate what was my regular diet.  So I weighed myself just a few minutes ago and viola I only gained 3 lbs., so now I’m back to a total of 7lbs lost.  I feel like I’m dancing around this 10 lbs with a torch. But I’m an optimist and I know that this week there will be more loss since I didn’t gain it all back haha. Luckily I’ve taken my measurements and have lost several inches.  I plan on taking my measurements today to add up my total loss.  I can see and feel it in my belly and that’s my biggest worry since it directly influences my health and that’s my main goal, to get my health back up to par.  I wanna feel like me again and it’s been a few years now.  I never thought that I would be this overweight since I never had a weight issue but sleep apnea and low thyroid and metabolic syndrome just don’t help.  Hoping I can get rid of all of these problems.
I’ve bee searching the internet and daydreaming about how I’m gonna landscape my new yard.  It’s like a blank slate and I just can’t wait.  I have been raking and raking and realized just how big our yard is with the easement.  Rylie was helping me rake and he’s a little monkey trying to climb the branches and hop down to the stream.  I’m gonna have to keep an ever closer eye on the babies this season, they’re so mobile and fast and they have a mission.
I just hope my body…back can keep up with my mind on what I want to get accomplished.  Lots of perennial planting and landscaping….ugh, no really I love it. It’s been about 2 yrs since I’ve had a yard to play with.

Ugh, I don’t feel good. Went to Dr. Bietzel yesterday and have throat and double ear infections so I started anti-biotics and I’m still at the place where I’m not sure if they’re working or not.  Yuckiness comes and goes.  On the up side… I lost ten whole pounds in six days.  I followed Timothy Ferriss’s plan to a tee and viola.  I was so surprised to see the ten pound loss, I rubbed my eyes and looked again.  Even when I was doing the low carb diet the most I ever lost was 5 pounds per week and I was thrilled with that.  So today was my day off and Elaine, Chris and I went to Dairy Queen to eat half price on Tuesdays.  That’s why Tuesdays are my days off.  I ate a lot of junk today and don’t feel so well but definitely got it out of my system so I can go another 6 days.  Love the diet (slow carb), don’t feel hungry.  I actually have to make myself eat more.  Really the more you eat the better you do.  I must be eating enough. I’m really going to make it work this time around.
I wish I knew where my son was.  He was going to get in contact with me and now the earthquake and tsunami’s in Japan have affected our Southern states.  Now Japan is having issues with their nuclear plants and those may affect us too.  I hope he’s safe and pray for him.  I miss him and worry about him all the time.  It’s real hard on a mama when their babies are in trouble and there’s nothing you can do.  Gosh you just never lose that feeling.
So now we have Tajza.  Picked her up on Friday at Tammy’s.  She’s doing well, she’s so sweet…just huge and a bit clumbsy.  She has attatched herself to me and James is a little out of sorts about that but I’m hoping he comes around.  When we got her she is having her period.  We thought she was prego or something cause Tammy had her tied up outside and left her male un-neutered dog outside with her at times.  But Mario came over to check her out and said that she wasn’t ready yet but to watch her closely, especially after she quits bleeding for the few weeks after.  So I called around pricing to get her spaded.  The cheapest vet was 290.00, 290.00???  That’s insane! After looking on the internet I found a place that does them for cost and it doesn’t matter what your income is.  We have her scheduled for April 4th and it’s just 60.00!! Imagine the money the vets are making on spade and neutering pets.  It’s a shame cause all of the unwanted animals out there.  You would think they could at least go by income levels on at least a few of their surgeries a year.
Well, I’m getting real tired so Ima go to bed

I haven’t been posting like I should.  Been busy? Haha.  Too busy playing games that is.  I’m addicted to facebook games, enough said.
So much time has passed that I don’t even know what to put down here.  I got my SSDI and the back pay bought our house in full here at Big Turkey Lake.  We will have been here for a year in May. I really like it here.  We have an awesome lot with an actual peninsula.  I’m hoping to make major adjustments in our landscaping.  It is a very small house.  It’s a lake cottage but it has lots of potential. I want to make the upstair 2 bedroom and large landing into a great master bedroom with a walk thru closet and awesome master bath.  The balcony off the landing area will make it all that.

Since my last post both Jayme and Billy have had another baby.  Jayme had Alana (a-la-la) (that’s house the babies pronounce it so I call her that too).  on Dec 11th 2011 so she’s just shy of 3 months.  I love her to death~she is just starting to smile and is a real good baby but I’m getting her spoiled already.  Jayme also met an awesome guy, Zac.  Zac had his own little baby, Micah.  And guess what they are exactly 2 weeks apart.  Both are March Babies.  They get along pretty well.  They tend to beat the shit outa each other but they won’t let anyone else mess with the other one.  So they are basically being raised as twins and just last week Zac and Jayme put bunk beds in their room and they are actually sleeping on them and no going nuts. Great kids that’s for sure.  BBT has started crying when I come over and he sees me.  He misses me so much that his feelings get overwhelmed.  So I have (get ) to hold him like a baby while he drinks his juice cup.  Just the other day I was getting ready to put my shoes on to leave and he took my shoes and put them back by the door.  He thought he had me lol.  I’m hoping to get him Saturday when we go into town for Sara’s wedding reception.  Yup Sara had a baby~Lea and got married to Preston last month.  Lea is about 7 months old now and cute as a button!
