When shit hits the fan...

Well happy Friday everyone. The weekend is here. What will you be doing for fun? Anything exciting?? Well as for  me and my family, I try not to make so many plans in advance, because these days, I just don't know where I might end up. Its seems that every one in my family is getting sicker as each day passes, and its really wearing me out. I don't like to miss school for any reason, and these past few weeks, I have, because even I was sick one day.. uuug! My husband has been sick most of this year, and after many, many doctors visits, we still don't know what's wrong with  him. We are hoping for some positive results next month when he goes to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. With all of this, he missed 3 months of work, and we fell behind on everything, and even had a wedding to plan. That came together nicely, thanks from the generosity of his family from Connecticut. Getting him back to work has made him  feel a bit better, but doesn't take away the other issues wrong with him. We will find out soon, and get moving ahead with our lives.

 MY Mom is also not doing very well, and now with her husband in a nursing home, its just getting worse for her. This saddens me to know end because I just cant do anything . I love my mother, and she's my world, and I am not ready to loose her just yet!!! I hope that I will get a chance to go and visit with her really soon, because after the past few stressful weeks I have had, I need a big mom hug!!!! so, if you happen to be reading this... Go and hug your mom!!! She will love you all the more for it!!!

Have a great weekend peeps... see you on Monday!!!

being sick sucks...

Hey everyone...

    as you can probably tell, I am not in class tonight... I have a spring cold that's kicking my ass lol.. nose wont stop running and I just feel like I was hit by the Sunrail train... tee hee.. Yeah, just poking fun since the trains now been in service for 2 weeks and already hit 2 cars.. all I can say is get off the tracks.. I mean come on.. Car VS. Train... Train will always win.. just saying. Now as for being sick... well, When  the teacher saw me tonight, bringing in my homework, she asked if it needed to be sanitized , lol. I am not in the habit of making others sick, and so my code of never missing school... well.. shit happens right. I don't want to be sick. I hate it. I know other people do as well, so it was easier for me to just drop off my work, and leave. I wouldn't want to sit in class with some one who could be contagious, would you??? Thank you. Yeah, I am a nice person when I want to be, but I know many of you have small children, and could make your lives hell, so I just left. Its was the right thing to do. But, I hate missing class.. you always miss something important. GRRR.. This is not the only class this week I have missed because of being sick. I missed my A& P class, and I know I am going to be hating life because of it. Ms. Macks class is not an easy one but to miss a test , too.. wow, I am in trouble now lol. anyway,.. off to take more cold medicine and hope that I am feeling better really soon cause I cant keep missing class. Have fun and see ya next Monday!

what happened to my last blog?

I had written one. I know I did. I wasn't feeling well when I wrote it, but I know that I did. I guess its somewhere on here.. owell..
Being sick really sucks. I hate spring colds. They know how to really take it out of you! Thank goodness I am feeling better these days, but wow. I sure don't want to get sick again anytime soon!! Enough is enough!

How was your week? My was pretty busy, but I wont go in to details. Just glad that its almost to the weekend, and then its party time!! Do you have plans for the holiday? Me?? Not yet, , well yeah I do.. lol My husband and I are hosting a pot luck at our home on Sunday, and I am looking forward to that. Its always great to have family and friends come over and have a great time! Guess I get get started on the house cleaning.

Will be going to the farmers market on Sunday morning. WE like the Maitland one and the breeze that comes off the lake while walking around it! Time to get some new veggies for the week. And as for Monday?? Not sure yet, but I am sure there will be many activities to be found.

Anyway... Have a great day!
Till Next week..

Mothers Day.. did you talk to your mother?

Happy Monday.

  So, yesterday was mothers day. My mom is in not so well of health that she told me not to come and visit her yesterday. She lives in St. Cloud, so it would only have been about a 45 min drive for us. So, I called her instead and we talked for a bit. I am the oldest of 6 children, and I was the only one to call her on Mothers day. Yep.. just lil ole me... while on the other hand, my younger sister, who lives literally down the street from her did not call, nor did she go and visit her. Why you may ask?? I sure as shit don't know, but when I found out that she would rather instead, visit with her boyfriends mother, I became so angry, that I wanted to call her out on it and ask her why she has nothing to do with our mother?! I can only assume that we just don't fit in to her materialistic world, and that my mom is poor. Yeah, I am making assumptions, but I am allowed to. My moms in poor health and we are the only two who are remotely close to her and I am the only one who takes time to just call and say "I love you, Mom." Now my brothers may live out of state, but that is no reason NOT to call your mom, period. I am fed up with my no good family, and sometimes wish I had been born an only child. Really.. I mean come on.. This is the woman who gave birth to you, loved you, even had to let you go for a period of time, but she was always there, and she still is. You just need to give her a call. I know her time is short on this earth, and I really don't want to be the bitchy big sister when she passes, but at this point, I will have every right to be just that. I love my mom. And I do what I can for her, even in its smallest measure, but to live so close and have no contact at all.. there's absolutely no excuse for that. Really! anyway.. rant over.

I hope that all of you had a great day with your mom and I hope that above all she heard I love you more then once from her children!

Kenny came home and Cathy's 50th Birthday party

Good Afternoon everyone.

  I see you survived another Florida weekend. I know that I did. As usual, I didn't do anything on Friday night. But come Saturday, I had plans for the whole day. Kenny came home just for the weekend to BBQ For us as well help celebrate his older sisters birthday. I mean, how many times do you turn 50? Kenny is a truck driver, so we are lucky if we get to see him 2 times a year. But with out people like him, we wouldn't have many of our every day items come in to the local stores. So Thank a trucker!

This is Kenny!(the guy with the ponytail)
 
 
 
Food On the grill at noon.. well, the ribs anyway because they need to slow cook for hours.(they were AWESOME!!!) Many family and friends streamed in as the day flowed on. It was a nice despite the hovering clouds and the little misting they gave us here and there. Still all in all, the food was outstanding!!!People were pretty awesome too!

Before long, its time to cram about 40 people in to Mama Rene's Dining room to sing Happy Birthday to Cathy!! Next came the Roketa cake fight! Only one Rokate kid came out clean of cake frosting. Celebrating 50 years on the wild earth deserves a wild party!! Love ya Cathy!!! Happy Birthday again!

 Till next week.... Keep Smiling!
