LOL

Karin will appreciate this.

I miss my hubby....

I created this montage from pics of us and our smiley gallery. Set it to music.

I miss my George. But he may not be gone as long as expected. The end... may be near. :-)

Metamorphisis

Ok, so my husband and I will be apart for a little while. It's a fact of life. One I can't change.

He misses me as much as I miss him.

Gas is going up. Food is going up. Taxes are going up. Economy is going down. Wars abound. People get sick and die. Children get hurt and cry. Dope addicts are rampant. Thieves break into people's homes WHILE THEY ARE THERE. Foods are full of pesticides, leaders hand out genocide. Politicians scam us all. Making promises that fail. Who do you trust anymore? How can we dare to answer our door? I don't. People knock and I hide.

I live in a world of chaos. Secret societies. Nothing is as it seems. Even the most fundamental things get all twisted up so you don't know what is what anymore. My anxiety level has SHOT through the roof. Haven't been this bad in a long time.

So, George and I had a wonderful talk (well several of them) and he keeps telling me to just hang in there. Focus on the family. Focus on work. Focus on the Word of God. Shut the world out and create my own haven. And look forward to when we can be together again. (He says it's the last time he's going to work on the islands).

I woke up the other morning and realized several things. 1. I had gained a TON of weight. 2. I needed to change that.

So, I'm going to be alike a catepillar and go into my cocoon and soon transform into a beautiful butterfly.

I have so much to be thankful for. My children are awesome. All of them. I love them dearly.

They are smart, talented, kind, loving, generous. I could not have asked for better. I hit the jackpot.

MY BMW

Lest you can't guess what "BMW" stands for.... it's b*tch, moan and whine.

I will feel better after I let this out.

So.... ok..... I sold some stock last year and got hit HARD by the tax man. To the tune of a couple THOUSAND. Yet, I don't even feel like I got to enjoy ANYTHING from that transaction!! And now what I had sitting in my savings account gets to go to Uncle Sam. Damn.

Oh, and Utah just passed a bill to DOUBLE the sales tax on food. This is going to impact the poor who can barely afford food anyhow. I'm thinking I better get used to living on beans and rice.

And then today I noticed my front tire is going flat. Oh how convenient!

And my rent is getting raised.....

and on and on and on............. I see money just swirling down a huge toilet bowl hole.... glug, glug, glug.

Had to fork out almost $100 for David to take the ACT test and enroll in concurrent enrollment. Plus his driver's ed. And his weekly driving assignments use up gas.... which is now $3.30 per GALLON.

I need to get a cyst removed from my wrist and another epidural in my neck..... (several hundred out of pocket there).

And my husband is far far far away................................................

I hate it when I feel all stressed out.
