Today wow a long one

Today got up and had a few errands to run on didnt work out have to go back and do it again tomorrow and then we went over to davenport to do a few errands we , also ate lunch at HyVee , I had me some Meat loaf and some crab salad yummy... Then we went to a Job to help put up some gutters on a house one of my hubbys customers, this was the first time that I have seen it done and the gutters actually made .. was really neat they take a roll of allumium and then make it into a gutter then hang it .. total time was about 45 minutes boy they were fast.. With all that running I sure could of used some of these MBT shoes very high quallity type shoes . Now I'm at work my feet are sore and im tired .. hubby just brought me a sandwich from Subway and now im happly eating and typing this lol.. He brought me a ham and cheese with tomatoes on it yummy.. I guess I say yummy allot . Now Im happy and content and ready to finish my work day . Hope your days are good ones.

What a day yesterday

Oh my what a day yesterday. It all started out not to bad but then quickly went to a disaster I got up went to lunch with my daughter Stacey and hubby chinese yummy .. Then from there went back home made sure the dog was taken out and fed and watered, Then off to work I go. Two hours into work I find out that my husbands truck quit working the fuel pump went out in it . So it had to be towed and now is being worked on he had to come get the blazer.. Then we find out that the blazer still has the oil leak grrrrrrrrrrrrr.. Now we have to take it back up to Reynolds to have them put it back up on the hoist to see were its leaking .. I'm so upset with this car right now , if it was me I would just call it day and give it back and let it be someone elses problem .. I was thinking of getting a extra hard drive just for back up and still might its always good to have extra space to place your valued pictures and such. I have to first see what the bill for the truck is going to be then take it from there. Later..

At the end of last week

Remember when i told you this what ever is taunting me .. Well Last Thursday we had kel for the night and while we was sitting in my computer room  all of a sudden a crutch that my husband had used many months ago when he had gout was standing up against the wall in the bedroom , never once did it ever fall. Well both me and Kel was in the computer room and all of a sudden this one crutch fell straight forwad out into the hall way mind you this crutch has been standing upright against a wall tilted back as not to fall.. well thats one .. I swear it was crazy I just went in and picked it up and placed it back aginst the wall were it had been sitting for months.. Second thing that happened which was I was heading somewhere and was at a stop light waiting for the light to change and all of a sudden the blazer started moving forward even though I had my foot on the brake which by the way I thought that someone was behind me pushing me .. there was a car but was at least a car lenght behind me .. the more the car moved forward the more pressure I had to apply to the brakes .. finally the light turned and off we went .. I didnt say anything to the kids cause I didnt want to scare them we went for Ice cream and then straight back home. lol Once home we was sitting on the couch watching a kids channel and all of a sudden Kel said Mamaw someone is turning the door handle .. I looked and didnt see anything the door was not locked and didnt think anything about it we live in a upstairs apt so I would of had to hear someone come in the downstairs door which was locked and me and hubby are the only one's with that key and he was not home, Well a half hour went buy and again kel said Mamaw there it goes again mamaw its moving .. so i looked and still didnt see anything so I decided to get up and lock the door to let kel know it was ok. whew when will it ever stop. Just thought I would let you know these things are still with me , and please don't think I'm crazy if others are seeing this its just not me. I want to say ok who is it and why are you taunting me .. give me a sign something that you are here and what you want.. but im afraid that just might happen lol.. even though im laughing about it now , at the times it does happen its scary .. Especially when your in the car and it happens.. oh and our fuel pump in our truck went out today .. oh and the oil leak in the blazer did not get fixed like they said they did we took it back to the place we had the oil changed and nope not been touched .. im so through with this car. Oh by the way a year a go or shortly after we moved into this place one night me and hubby was in the front room watching tv and all of a sudden the water turned on in the bathroom tub. full force mind you .. we just both looked at each other and I got up and went in and turned it off .. things keep happening like I will come home and something on top of the fridge will have fallen off.  you would think this place is evil or someone playing tricks when I took the kids to get ice cream that night and came back I could of sworn I locked the door I always lock our upstairs door.. when we came home it was unlocked thats happened a few times also not only me but with hubby too. Well got to head to bed long day tomorrow. later.

This weekend

This weekend I will be having two of my grandbabies on Saturday night while my daughter and her husband go out to a wedding .. It will be fine as my hubby goes out and plays cards with his buddys on Saturday night anyway and I'm alone anyways .. I think I will get a few movies and we will sit and watch some tv and have popcorn .. I have been wanting to get a picture of me and hubby so each of the kids can have one but hubby has been wanting to get some oral implants he is missing some of his teeth, and was looking around on the net and came across charlotte cosmetic dentist and was thinking of contacting them to see if they have any around close to were I live . I also been wanting to get my hair cut again it sure has grown out and its to long on top . My daughter Stacey just got her's cut the other day well actually trimmed and it looks pretty good and I think she said it was only aprox 14.00 I might go there sometime this next week and get my hair back in shape. I guess I just dont take the time for me like I should but I think its high time I start dont you ? Later

Heath and Happiness

Ok so by now you all know that I'm a diabetic and have been maintained my blood sugar for a long time aprox 8 years and I am proud of myself for that , but there is still weight to be loss and I really need to try harder to lose the weight , the only problem is that for 50 years I have always ate the way I wanted to but then found out that I had diabetes and loss 30 pds well I got stuck , and now I need help I was thinking of trying Leptitrex to see if that will help me. I also need to get out and exercise more I know that it will help me lose faster but then again theres the bugs , I dont like bugs I know I'm a big baby but I'm allergic to bee's they scare me , after having two reactions to them its not a fun trip and one that I dont want to go through again . I have ask my doctor for a Eppi pen but the precription is very expensive so I will just have to hide away .. I can go to my mom's she has a tread mill which im sure she would let me use but at my apt its upstairs and that would be a trip to get it up there and besides the lady down stairs would probally go insane and again I have no room for it.. I'm hoping that soon we find another place to live that is on the ground level and no stairs please no stairs and and place that I can have my own washing machine and dryer.. One day I guess..

Just Working and Thinking..

I have been just doing day by day things and thinking of how short life is and how much, I want just One more Grand baby I have 7 already but the boys out do the girls by one .. I want one more baby and it has to be a Girl lol.. I don't ask for much do I .. Been begging my Oldest daughter to have just one more baby it seems that 8 is a good round number to me . I have been looking on the net for baby clothes and this site has some really cute ones. I bet my oldest daughter is stressing because I keep bugging her to please have one more baby just for me .. lol see  my other kids can't have anymore so its all up to you Christy .. Not to much pressure huh Christy..

So far things are going good today..

I was so busy today that I was catching myself coming and going .. really running up to get a lunch , then coming back home and then running to pick up Mariah our dog and then getting her home and putting on flea meds on her as she always comes home after getting groomed with them . Then it was off to work but I was in the process of checking out looking into several  savings accounts for my Grand babies they are growing up and  although some of them have savings accounts I wanted to  either start one for the ones they dont have there own , or adding to there already savings accounts. After getting to work Its been non stop wondering when it will slow down.  Well at least I can keep busy that makes the time fly by faster. No unnatural things happening as of yet , but the day is not over with yet. Later

Wierd things keep happening to me!

Ok I'm like wondering whats going on.. so far there has been 4 incidents that absolutely have scared me .. Let me explain first of all I'm not nuts .. I'm don't see ghost I don't talk to the dead My name is Toni I'm just a normal person that things keep happening to me .. if anyone is reading this and knows whats going on please don't hesitate to email me or post a comment. I think these things mean something but just cant put my hand on it. some of what I'm going to tell you might scare you also if it happened to you.. first 1. I walked out back of my work and right away there was a very very strong smell of roses all around me is nothing but cement and a building no flowers nothing please explain that it was so overwhelming that i had to stop to catch my breath ..  I don't know it lasted only about 40 seconds but if you count that out it seems like a long time at least to me it did. its like someone waved a dozen roses in my face its the smell you smell when you walk into a funeral palor that overwhelming. 2. Same day less than 5 minutes later I was moving my car around the front of the building so I dont have to walk out back in the dark when I get off of work at 9 p.m.  Well after moving it to the front of the building i was bending over looking for something in my cup holder and all of a sudden (mind you its still bright daylight) it was though someone had thrown a blanket over the whole car and then as fast as it came it was removed .. or like a low flying air plane flew over but there was no planes .. I don't know what that was all about but it sure did surprise and make me afraid.. just to let you know I have dealt with things like this in my past .. you know the normal things like feeling like someone is touching you and there is no one there.. at that point in my life I was not afraid it was a comfort touch but these things that keep happening its not a comfort touch.. its eerie.. 3. fast forward a few days later .. i was coming home from work actually I was just pulling in to back up and park in front of my house.. as I was backing up it felt like I had hit someone (no one is around) so I pull forward to park as I turned off the car and was getting ready to get out of it thats when I felt it .. It was though someone was grabbing the back of the car as if to climb up from the ground the car started moving sort of rocking like I said like they were trying to stand up.. this lasted approx 30 seconds while I sat there in shock wondering what was doing that afraid to get out of my car.. but finally got out walked to the back of the car NOTHING.. I'm telling you very eerie 4. Just the other night while washing dishes at the kitchen sink I felt there was a hand on my shoulder I turned to took to see who it was and there was no one there.. actually I was the only one home at the time . I dont know if its a spirit and I do believe in them , trying to get my attention or trying to play jokes on me.. I have told me oldest daughter Christy these things except for the last one because she has a sixth sense about these things she has since she was 2 years old. When her daddy had gotten into a motorcycle accident she was sound asleep and all of a sudden she woke up screaming I want my daddy .. I was wondering why she did that with in a few minutes there was a knock on the door and there was my father in law telling me that he was in a accident he was ok a bit skinned up but otherwise able to come home that night. believe me there has been many more after that, my twins also have this sixth sense also its the twin to twin thing when one does something or happens to one of them the same happens to the other within hours of each other .. seat belt tickets same day without the other knowing they got a ticket .. speeding tickets same day etc .. they will call me and while on the phone with one the other will click in asking me the same question so strange.. I'm puzzled about all that is going on with me I'm trying to make sense of it .. hopefully whats going on will all come to me to why.. I dont know if it is my Dad who has passed away over 20 years ago trying to tell me something or who it is .. but like I said I am not comfortable when these things are happening.. You know the old saying to stop and smell the roses well they was so strong I had no choice but to stop and smell them.. So am I to continue to try and figure these things out or should I just keep going , I'm at a standstill right now nothing has happened for a few days and if all goes well something will happen tomorrow seems the pattern. I want to go to a physic and to figure out what is going on. I might make a appointment for next week to go to one that i trust and yes i have been to a few and there is one that really stood out to me I truly believe what she told me about me was real she knew nothing about me and told me step by step my life and the death of some of my family members described them to a tee.. She scared me at first told me that my dad was standing behind me and always will be there to guide and protect me that of which I so believe. So for right now I will wait for another sign. Leave comments if you like to give me your idea what is happening to me. and maybe give me some in site on what is going on. Later..

Talk about Mad

I swear if one more thing goes wrong im going to explode.. been having all kinds of problems with my blazer .. first the motor went out and then we went to get the oil change after almost two months without a car .. and find out that its leaking oil they forgot to put in sealent or something I dont know anything about cars really .. anyway they say to come in this morning to get it fix.. I get there and the man is not there .. the other guy tells me to go come back in a hour that this guy is over getting parts .. Ok I leave besides the fact that this place is in BFE and I have wasted about 10 dollars worth of gas getting there.. i come back .. this guy is there and says oh I dont have the part .. WTF .. so I ask him why he says I told your husband to call before coming over to make sure I had the part .. grrrrrrrrrrr.. so he says to call tomorrow and come back .. Well I had plans for tomorrow to watch the kids so my daughter could go to a funeral with her boyfriend well guess what now she has no one to watch the kids and I again have to go to BFE tomorrow and hope that this man will fix this oil leak .. besides that they messed up the electrical in the dash.. my alternator is going out and so is my fuel pump.. we already put in a new battery .. besides the transmission if we have to replace that we will end up with a whole new car .. but it will cost us about 1, 000 to fix all of the stuff that is wrong with it.. I'm so so sick of this car .. and all its troubles .. the man we are buying it from don't want it back .. and i can see why.. Well we will see tomorrow what happens I sure hope they get it fixed because if they dont that man will be gone for a month and then what do we do .. I dont think we can drive it around with oil leaking for a month . Well got to go head home from work ..
