NEVER TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED


                                           December 25th 2012 is about to come to and end.Another Christmas came and went.I had a really nice Christmas.Of course I waited til the last minute to do any Christmas shopping.Yesterday I ran to Kmart to grab the gifts I needed.I took Nuggett(My dog) with me. Kmart was packed.I should of known.I had my list of items texed to my phone.(This is 2012) we Dont carry paper anymore LOL Maybe we should the way my Smart phone hides numbers from.I rolled the Windows to my truck down some, made sure Nug was comfortable.Fought my way thru the crowd.People were actually nice this year.I walked to my truck with my bags,Poor Nug was laying in there passenger seat.She was having a seizure. I'm not sure what brings these on.Her back legs become paralyzed. Dry mouth.Pupils dilated and I have to pet her and talk her thru them. I'm thinking she gets a hold of candy or sugar some how. Got her thru it and headed home.Pouring down raining.

                                       Got up this morning and I had to finish up my shopping.So out I go again.Only store open was CVS. Founds some nice gifts there.
                                              At 3 p.m. I went to my Sisters for dinner.She made everything herself.Had a nice time.(So grateful for everyday we get to spend with her,After being diagnosed 2 years ago with the cirrhosis of the liver(She is 2 years 6 months sober)She liked her jacket I bought her.Gave the B.I.L cash and lottery tickets.He was happy with that and it wasn't a whole lot.After dinner I went over to Best friends to exchange gifts and eat(again)His kids were so excited to open there gifts. Ages 6 and 4.The 6 year led the prayer.She said And God Bless John.......Love them kids.So now I'm home and relaxing in the living room.Tree and lites on and the house smells of pine.Jan 1st I'll take it all down and store it away.

                                  I want to thank God for having his hand upon two people that I love. On Sunday My Neice was driving to her Moms to bake cookies and she hit black ice and rolled her SUV Thank God she wasn't hurt.Her SUV is totaled and she is sore but ok. That same night at 8 pm I got a call a good friend had over dosed.He accidentally over took muscle relaxers(Soma) and his wife said he wasn't responding.I drove there as fast as I could praying all the way.I lost a Sister in 1999 to the exact same Prescription pill.I HATE those Muscle relaxers.By the time I got there Ambulance and fire department were in his driveway.My legs could hardly carry me.I made my way up to his car.Where he sat in the passenger seat.His eyes were open.THANK GOD.They got him on the gurney.Took six men, He was shaking and couldn't talk,They got am IV in him.They let me talk to him.When I called his name.He replied and slowly started talking.They treated him very nice.He was in the hospital til 2 a.m. They wanted to make sure it wasn't a suicide attemp They ran all kinds of tests and a Cat scan to make sure he was ok. I know for a fact it wasn't a suicide attempt
                       .Sorry readers I wasn't going to write about anything heavy on this post.I was going to stick to Christmas.But I have to mention it and say THANK YOU JESUS for having your hand upon my niece and my friend and giving me a peace of mind thru all the storms.I hope you all had a Blessed Christmas. Heres looking to 2013.

    I have a daughter-in-law to be who takes those muscle relaxers and I hate that she has to take them!!
    Myself, I try to stay away from doctors and medication if any way possible. I understand that there are times when both are needed... but too often today doctors prescribe drugs that just aren't needed. That's my 2 cents worth. Your poor pup! I hope everything is okay. Glad you had a blessed Christmas.. now here's to looking forward to the New Year... God bless!

TAKING MY HOUSE FROM ME

Well I got the news today, After 13 months of paper work in and grieving the loss of my Dad. The papers came yesterday and the calls today. You have 60 days to be out, you are an unlawful detainer.The house your living in sold Oct 20th,I had gotten the loan. I got the attorney Mayhem Ford, I filed and faxed.  did everything I needed to do. And now they tell me under FHA policy I have to move 30 years of my parents stuff and empty out the house.So they can take a picture of the house empty. They tell me with such compassion. I almost believe them.Someone's been lying to me. I am going to court Feb 19th and present my case. I've been so sick with ulcers and H pylori This is the home that my Dad and Mom built with their bare hands, My Dad lived in less then two years. He was building it while battling lung cancer, None of us knew he was sick.( Not even Mom). This is the house where every holiday was spent. Many Christmas's and Thanksgiving dinners with Friends and Family....
