Update on life in general...

Well, here I am...checking in..yeah yeah I know...where the hell have you been???

let's just say...living life.

I find that I am doing somewhat better physically, and seem to not spend as much time on the computer as I used to..which is probably one reason I have lost a little bit of weight.

I started to garden again, first time in years, and find I am so far able to keep up with the work. The heat of the past few days though has been brutal! My sweat's sweat was sweating! But I have pushed myself to get out of the house and water the gardens, go shopping etc.. even in this heatwave...of course I end up crawling back into the house to shower and sit in the air conditioning!

I find that I will soon have too much time on my hands as my man is going to drive over the road being gone for long periods of time leaving me to my own devices..While I will miss him ..I am going to devote wome real time to ME...yes imagine that? just to ME!!!!
( wonder what kind of trouble I can get into? insert evil laugh here)

I plan on painting the walls, steam cleaning the couch and rugs, redoing the closet,losing more weight, and I am determined to start singing again! not to mention a ton of other things too..

Now, I am probably not going to be able to do ALL that stuff realistically...but hey I can dream right?
Of course it may be that I will be so lonely I will start to blog on a more regular basis!

Things are going good with my family, my mom is home, and my brother got his divorce finally, and is back in the fold! we are spending time together as a family and it's been so WONDERFUL!!!!!!

I don't think I realized just how much we were all missing out on, the four of us kids, my guy, my sister's husbands, BOTH our parents, and my dad's fiance all have WICKED humor..and all actually think alike!
( everyone of us women brought bday cakes last weekend to my brother's house for his bday when we all went there for a cookout! seriously we ALL did it was really funny 5 cakes!) ALL of us! go figure..
my dad said it's like watching us like when we were as kids..loud and hilarious and full of ourselves! and LOUD...oh yeah did I say that? and he told my guy it was nice to see us all back to ourselves again, my guy said, yeah well Terri just said that about you too!

I didn't realize how incomplete my life was without them till I got them back..we are all doing the silly things(like sticking ear swabs in the nose and  making beeping noises!) we did as kids and reminiscing about the past, just really trying to make up for all the lost time. We have played games, and ate till we burst! Just the feeling of being WHOLE again is so .. fulfilling...  Just makes me want to burst with happiness.

And then we come home...and our kid and his wife are at it again...yeah depressing..guess they are finally all done. A divorce is imminent. might be for the best all around, as all they do is fight. It's sad really when you think of how they fought all of us to be together since high school..spent like 8 years together even had a kid..now they just want to give up. Well we give up..we just can't ride the emotional roller coaster these kids are dragging us on anymore. they are adults..and we need to live our lives without dealing with trying to fix theirs. Sad but true...I just feel so bad for the little one..he will be the one paying the price in the end..

Now, I know what a broken home is like..not fun..and though things are great now for me..the road to my happiness was paved with a ton of thorns...actually it was a hellish road back to this point, if I am truthful, and I am wise enough to know not all families can fix their problems, and learn to enjoy each other all over again once the hurts have been healed..actually it rarely happens and I am blessed..truly blessed that neither of my parents ever trashed the other and they to this day actually don't mind being in the same room together!

 All our family days now include both parents, and my dad's fiance and mom and dad's fiance actually love to talk to each other. yes I am truly truly blessed!!!! I no longer have to worry about hurting anyone's feelings by liking everyone..(don't ask me to clarify that you really don't want to know!)

Now that I have filled you all in on the past few months...are you still awake?  Hope fully next time I will have something really interesting to say...never know with me!
