The Flu Has Now Reared It’s Ugly Head

They were not kidding on the evening news last week, I heard a story telling how the flu has not hit us hard this year, as of yet. That being said, they stated that it is just getting a late start and how the state of Virginia was just now getting hit with this years flu, and it hit my family hard, just a few short days of the news story.

We were really running low on so many things around the house and the refrigerator was looking pretty bare, and hubby was still looking pretty piqued today, so I decided to go out and brave the world on my own, armed with a pretty long list and my debit card. I really wanted him to get another good day of some rest and possible sleep while he can.

It did not take long to spend over $200 at the supermarket, but by the time I got home and unloaded it all from the car into the house and put away, I was too pooped to fix anything for our dinner. My hubby, at that point, insisted that he was up to the task and managed to put together the first decent home made meal that we both have had and enjoyed the taste of only once, ha ha!

Personal Safety Devices

I’m thinking that it may be a good idea for either me or my parents to look into and buy pepper spray for my now teen aged kid sister. She only last week turned 13 and is just starting to get into the social scene, going to the mall with friends, attending a few parties here and there, well chaperoned I’m sure. But none the less I think that she should really consider carrying some type of personal safety device and know when and how to use it, if necessary.

I’m sure that we could find something useful online, and will look into it and speak with my mother about it next time we talk. I’m not there to keep a good eye out on her and it is a wacky world out there and she is a prime target at her age.

Super Bowl 43

The Steelers have been kicking butt all season long, so I’m glad to see that they are headed for the Super Bowl this year. The game tonight was a good game, it certainly ended with an interesting twist, with an pretty serious injury right in the very last minutes of an exciting action packed game. It’s all good!

Adam Walsh, Case Closed

It is good to hear that the Walsh family will now be able to close the door (but not their hearts) on this unresolved tragic crime that was committed so long ago to their six year old son.At last they have finally closed the books and the case is now fully and completely through and done with. Too bad that the real criminal is all ready in Hell, I’m sure that they were plenty of people that would have liked to be there for his finale words and breath in this screwed up world.

This poor family has suffered for so long and have done such great things due to this horrific tragedy, I commend them all and wish them the warmest seasons greetings this year.

Day of swimming

This has got to be the hottest summer ever that I remember since moving here. What ever happened to the nice summer days that could be spent outdoors and enjoy the sun without having to worry about passing out from the heat and humidity.

With only one month left before school starts, the kids have been pestering me to take them to the city pool, so we decided that today, the whole family was going to pack up and spend the day having fun in the sun and pool water. It was too bad that I woke up from a horrible night of not being able to sleep and I was in no mood to go in public and deal with all that it takes to spend a day at the pool.

So hubby stayed home with me, while the oldest picked up all there friends and went for the first time to the pool with out one of us going along with. It worked out find, the had a blast and I rested up a bit and am feeling much better!

Today at the park

My husband and I had time alone since both of the kids were at friends houses for the night, so we took a walk in the park and seen actions that unfortunately happens a lot. A black man was laying down on one the benches that was near the walk way and a white man walked by him while were as well, just the opposite way of him though, and had heard the white man call the black man an N-Word, and told him to get a job.
He just kept going off with these awful words to use to anyone, especially someone you don’t even know. I think it is so outrageous how people treat one another these days still, why cant people just accept the fact that we are all living beings, and need to start treating each other with equal respect. Why be ignorant for any reason?

Mexico is this year’s reunion for sister to attend

My sister has all the luck, it seems at times anyway. Her hubby’s family meets every single year for a reunion of sorts, and they move around to a different location every year. The family usually gets a fantastic deal through a friend or a family member, for their accommodations, this is a huge family that has plenty of connections all over the world so they get to go to some really awesome places for their get togethers.

This year they are holding the event in Mexico, at the Rocky Point beach area, she tells me that this year they are looking into some Rocky Point rental homes for their use this time around and she sent me a couple of links to some web-sites about the area, so that I can share in her excitement of this years fun in the sun!  I can’t help but be a bit envious of them all.

I hope that it all works out well and that none of her kids, her husband or her get sick at the last minute and end up missing this years fun. One year they couldn’t go at the last minute because a couple of her kids and her hubby caught a bug the day before leaving and so the whole family had to miss that years fun in New Orleans. And as I have always told her, if one or two of her kids get sick she can bring them here to recuperate, I can look after them so that the rest of them would be able to go and enjoy themselves without worrying about the sick kids and all. That is what sisters do isn’t it?

Long nights

It has been one crazy day today, I had gotten into a car accident earlier in the morning, which didn’t turn out the greatest on my part. Plus I had to order tickets that were almost sold out for Rob Zombie, that I wanted to give my husband for his birthday. That didn’t happen so now I cant give them to him right on his birthday, it’ll be late. But oh well, life goes on, hopefully tomorrow will be relaxing, lord knows I need it.

Sick

I had just gotten of the phone with my mother, and she has informed me that she is sick at home and needs help around the house. I have no problem helping my mother out around her house but its difficult to keep up with my family and my own house when I’m not there to do so. But I’m putting my house hold needs on the back burner for today so I can help. I do love my parents, and I will drop anything for them and hopefully they know it.
