Things that Suck...

What is it about toothaches that make you rather amputate a digit or two than to deal with that annoying throbbing pain?  Good grief!!  I really should probably go self medicate, but I'm stubborn and hate taking pills.  So, everyone in the house is snoring, except me...again.  Insomnia and tooth pain...there...I ammended the suck factor.  Both of those suck, of course if the toothache were gone, maybe the insomnia would be too.  
So since I'm up, I thought I'd turn on the boob tube for noise  to drown out the chainsaw-like noise that is pouring out of my husbands mouth.  And wouldn't ya know it, a "Requiem for a Dream" is on IFC.  Alright, I love thirty seconds to mars, they are one of my alltime most favorite bands...HOWEVER...Jared Leto, honey...you pick some really tweeked movie roles to play!  Just stick to music, dude....talk about depressing....

On a disturbing note, my father in law's health is failing quickly.  My eleven year old son has never had to deal with death and is having a super hard time right now dealing with all the emotions that go with losing a loved one.  Trying hard to lean on our faith right now while trying to explain to him and help him sort through all of the feelings.  I feel so sad for him, I wish I knew how to ease his mind and let him know everything will be ok.  The natural order of things, the fact that death is just a part of life.  Yep, that sucks too.  The suck-o-meter is peggin' in the red tonight!  It won't be long now.  But his journey is just beginning not ending, and that my friends ....that is the true light at the end of the tunnel for us all.  Godspeed, Floyd.
Grace & Peace,

I'm back....

Haven't been around in a while...sorry for the delayed absence.  Sometimes life has a way of stealing the show, ya know?  Finally all moved and dealing with the fact that I can't find anything!  It's freakin' amazing to me that three people can have that much crap...seriously!  We have a two car garage and a shop just full of junk...I see a yard sale in our near future.

Valentine's Day came and went with a bang.  woohoo.  Too tired to even celebrate it.  I did make him dinner at least, lol.  It snowed today, melted, cloudy, sunny, gotta love springtime in Idaho.  It's like getting all four seasons in one day.  Mickey, our Butthole dog (an endearing term he also answers to since he hears it so much) got trapped under the deck the other day...what a dork!  Couldn't find him for a long time, thought he got out and was running the neighborhood.  Just as I was headed down the street to look for him, my son came ripping out the front door saying that Mickey was trapped under the hot tub.  I was frantic thinking that our poor little puppy was under the hot tub, struggling, in pain....Nope.  He had pushed past the lattice work under the second tier of the deck and couldn't get out.  Sheesh...he's not the sharpest tool in the shed sometimes, but we love him anyway!  Hope everyone has an awesome day and don't forget to have a random thought moment or two...it helps clear the crap out of your think tank... *wink* 
Grace and Peace,

Dear God,
My prayer for 2011 is for a FAT BANK ACCOUNT & a THIN BODY! Please don't mix these up like you did last year...

Thank you and Amen. :O)


Love,
