My Yesterdays

Some of My Grand babies.. Kyle and Kelcee I found this on the net .. so cute go make you some they are free to make , and If you want to buy some they really don't cost that much I think 9.95 for a print. I have been not really do to much lately .. just work and thats about it. Well got to go .. will write more later just wanted to know I was still here.. Later

I just have a short post .. and a few pictures .. this is what ones fridge looks like after no power for 4 days. And Ones freezer I know its sad . but we will survive we lost it all I just went yesterday and got a bag of ice , milk and butter and eggs.. and some bread thats the staples of life right .. lol I do have to say that I'm happy that there was only one death and some small scrapes and bruises from the storm or the wind sear . Electric we can get back , Homes and cars we can get back or fix but lives we can't .. So I am very thankful for that.. Sad part of this whole thing is only those that have been through the minor thing we went thru will understand .. I know only a tiny bit of what the people of Katrina went through .. just a tiny bit .. Because what we experience was that once the power went out 175,000 people were affected .. which means no power for the stores , Gas stations, no ice, so that means no food no gas ,, I have had a couple of comments from some people on the other side of the river that didnt get hit.. all I heard was well why didnt you come over here to get food and ice.. well for one thing , it takes gas to get there and if you dont have the gas to get there you screwed.. so thats my story and im  sticking to it. I have my power and im happy now but it woke me up to what the people in Texas are going through and what happened with Katrina.. so its over and I have a new outlook on life. never take anything for granted.. and always be prepared. Well im off to bed now take care of you..

I guess I shouldnt complain but two days without power is enough .. and again I should not complain , there are lots of us out there and I'm just one of 178,000 of us .. there are people that need there power for medical reasons one of them is my Mom she has no power either .. from what I hear it might be two more days or might be sooner dont know , All I know is them power people are working so hard to get us all up and running . All hotel rooms are booked .. but last night hubby found one for tonight if we still dont have any power.. I want my mom to come with at least to get her in a cool place.. my whole family except one of my daughters does not have power.. I just am hoping that my Mom gets her;s back before I do or any of the family she needs it the most. I took her out today to get her some lunch and get her in a cool place and to take her to Target to get a battery operated radio.. so she could at least listen to something.. She sure does miss her tv though..she was actually looking for a battery powered one.. I'm so grateful to have a job were there is air.. and internet.. thats how im posting this now, I did get out and took alot of pictures of the aftermath of over 100 mile an hour winds that tore through the quad cities all of which time I slept right through it .. It went through our area at 6 am.. took only 10 or 15 minutes and then it was over .. it looks like a disaster area here ,, really .. bad there are trees and lines down everywhere.. I will post pictures once I get my electricity back on. Mariah our dog is down at my moms now only because her basement is cool and its finished basement and she would stay cooler there. Were picking her up tonight along hopefully with my mom and going to the hotel. Well better get back to work .. Later..

Here is the picture of the swim suit that I made for Kelcee .. This was my first try at making one .. and i cant wait to see if it fits her.. Below is a picture of Maddey and the top I made her . It fits her good love the way it turned out , I also made another top with lace on it for Kelcee which she hasent gotten to try on yet when she does I will take a picture of her with it on . the pattern came from www.clearwaterknits.com they have some really cute tops there for the summer for the knitting machine .. I think Irene Woods created this pattern.. The swimming suit just came from using part of the pattern from there sort along the same design. Let me know what you think?

First of all I stayed home tonight from work because im still stick .. I hate missing work as I love my job .. but i was no good with my coughing .. I'm beginning to think that this isn't a normal cold , by now a normal cold would be easing up but this one seems to be getting worse .. I have a choice keep going and hope its just a cold or call the doc tomorrow and what I see is happening tonight with me and make a apt to maybe get some antibiotics to see if its more than a cold .. you know how a cold runs it course and your cough breaks up and you start to feel better well thats not me it seems to have stopped breaking up and its getting harder and harder to get up when Im coughing thus making me sore all over.. the last time this happened I ended up with bronchitis and after waiting for three weeks of it , it took at least three more weeks to get rid of it. so don't want to go through that again.. Of course I might be reading more into this than nessarary but I know the symptoms of bronchitis and the fever and swollen gland on my right side of my neck is telling me I probably have infection and need something for it. I just hate the thought of spending money on myself .. you know doc cost and then med cost grrrrrr.. been running a fever all day off and on.. please say a short prayer for me that I can get through this without having to go to the doc.. But what i did for myself today was to knit a swimming suit for Kelcee its a really pretty mint green and will take a pic of it once i feel better.. it turned out so good..I cant wait to see what it looks like on her.. Later going to bed to cough yet another night.

I have had this cold since last week .. I'm about done with it , the first few days was a real pain and then the third day not to bad thought this was going to be a breeze .. well guess what the fourth day its been coughing all night and has been for three days in a row.. Went to work last night and most of the time I was fine but then if I was helping someone on the phone all I did was cough not very good for tech support ,, I think the customers was on hold more then talking with me as all I did was cough.  I think a cold last or is only to last about 10 to 14 days.  Which I hope is true.. that will mean Im almost half way though and am on the down hill of this crappy summer cold. Hubby gave it to me he is grounded.. see we both have it , I cough he cough so both are coughing all night long, thus keeping each other up.. all night. During the day is not to bad as im sitting up but as soon as I lay down or just out of the blue I start coughing. If this last more than the alloted time its is suppose to then this little girl is going to the docs last time I had something like this I ended up with bronchitis. Which I hope dont turn into that  not only does it suck but then there is the cost for the doc I have no insurance and family wonder why Im so picky about being around any sick kids , I have an already weaken immune system from my diabetes, it always happens to me .. If someone has some illness and I'm around them and if I should not get a good night sleep or have tired myself out guess who gets sick.. I even hate to go out to restaurants because of people being sick there , I know im sad a pathetic being that way but I know my own body.. too much stress and worry also will make me sick.. Most the time I say I am ok and fight off the illness but then after awhile it gets to me. Oh by the way its 5.45 am and im writing this post and eating ramon noodles chicken that is my new best friend.. I sure hope I can get back to sleep. Oh by the way I'm not going into work tonight , I think I will just stay home and rest and nap when I want to and not do to much , ususally when im sick I go to work and clean the house sort of sweat it out of me , well I tried that Saturday night went and did a few errands with my mom and then came home and shampooed the carpets , Sunday went to moms and did my laundry which by the way is still sitting in the basket in the front room talk about being lazy , see we live in a upstairs apartment and them steps are killing me.. I cant wait to find a place to be on the gound level. And were I can have my own washer and dryer no more dragging out laundry to where ever and who ever will let me do it at there house or the laundry mat. Well I guess i should try and go back to sleep. Later..

Just wanted to add a little note to say im still here.. been feeling a little blaaa lately but still kicking .. stomach not to happy.. but I guess i will survive lol.. so this is going to short and sweet.. my Kelcee girl is not feeling well she has blisters in her ear and not feeling well .. My daughter christy she is a bad girl didnt use sun block and ended up with really bad blisters on her lip and a bad eye infection. I did get my blazer back yesterday im happy been about 6 weeks. so I am hoping its worth the wait .. but now have to take it back because they didnt hook up the dang oil thing to let you know what the oil pressure is .. well got to go ..
