Earthquake

at 5:25 I was sitting at my desk and felt my desk sway. I froze looked up at the hanging lights and thought earthquake. My heart started to pound. I have a slight phobias of earthquakes. I went through the big one in Cali back in "89" the 7.2. I was in Jr high then. I told the security guards that they are lucky I am still sitting here. I would be out those doors and all you would see is my dust. But my first instinct is to get to some place safe. Then I thought of my babies at home sleeping. I almost went into a panic attack. I have calmed down a bit. Looked up a web site and found out we had a 4.6 in the Seattle area. i am still shacking and it is taking everything I have to stay at my desk. I want to go home and make sure my babies are okay. My husband most likely slept through it. No text message from him. I am going to be very hesitant on leaving my kids this weekend. They are in good hands. My mom has been through all the same earthquakes I have. She knows what to do. Deep Breaths...

weekend gettaway

We are going out of town. The truck engine light is gone. I asked my husband Did you fix it or did the truck change its mind? He told me after tinkering with a few things and getting advice from his dad. They went to papa's house. well he was sitting at a light first one in line and no one else was around so he stomped on the gas. Took it to a high speed, very quickly, then slowed it down. The engine light was gone. We both think that something was clogged somewhere and he just blew it out. Got me to thinking. My mom never had problems with her cars, because every once in awhile on a lone road somewhere she would as she called it punch the engine. Now I don't know if it really does anything, but what the heck are those high speeds for if we are not suppose to use them, because its considered driving over the speed limit and you can get a ticket. My mom use to think that getting the engine up to a high speed fast would clean out crap in the engine. Her car's never broke down. So maybe their is something to the theory. It worked for us. I have been told that the day to day stop and go can be bad for vehicles. When all else fails putting your foot down does help. Now I don't recommend this at the busiest times of day. Nor do I condone I speed acts. But still what the heck do they give those high speeds for?

Its raining babies

Its raining babies and pregnant women at work.

getting the hell out of dodge...or not!!

I am suppose to be getting out of town this weekend. Just me and my Hubby.... well we are going with other friends, but we don't all have to stay together as a group. I am so looking forward to the snuggling and cuddling and holding hands, kissing and...

Well our 2003 suburban engine light came on. My husband went ot get it diagnosed and it could be 3 differnt things. he started with the oxygen sensors. he is going to do the other one tomorrow, well to top that some type of control panal on our furnece went out.

Kevin is fustrated, he knows how badly I want to get out of town. We have not been on a getaway in almost 7 years. I need a break from everything. I am just waiting for Kevin to tell me sorry honey, but we just can't go. Everyone keeps telling me go with out him.... I don't think so. The whole idea is to get away together. No kids, no pets, no work, just snow, mountains, wine, food, friends and lots of cuddling, and kissing. I can be such a teenager, I love making out with my husband. Yum!!!

I guess I don't understand

I got an email passed to me from my dad. Now my dad is a hard republican. He is the old school Republican. I get these emails passed to me and a lot of them a I like cause they have pretty pictures or funny stories or can be quite comical. Well as they get passed along I wonder when people start adding their own 2 cents to the emails. Which I usually don't have a problem with that. But at the top of this email was something about the how the president elect bought the presidency with foreign money lies and smoking mirrors. I find mudslinging repulsive. I don't care who you are or what you are doing, Accusing someone of something and not having any hard evidence is not right. He is barely in office. The least we can do is give him a chance. Good lord we gave Bush two chances. I just became really irritated at that little stab, when the rest of the email had nothing to do with it and it was quite funny. I guess I don't understand what the obsession is saying things like that. We are now licking our wounds and trying to make a comeback. Our economy is in the crapper and people are getting laid off, losing their houses and waiting for a miracle. Obama has a long hard road ahead. the man like will turn gray and we will see him age very quick.
I look at it this way he take care of what on average 2 kids maybe three. we raise them pay for there stuff, teach them right from wrong and we cry when they break our hearts, or become sick to our stomachs when they don't come home at curfew. We lose some children and we have more. we adopt and we give them up. The presidency is like the mom and that president has to look out for his country. some screw up some do things right, but the president has 10 times the amount of children (all of us) to look after. He isn't always going to get it right. Did we with our first child. To this day I know what I could have done differently with my first, but I can't now he is 13 all I can do is pray I don't get it wrong the rest of his life. The president hopes for the same thing, that he doesn't get it wrong. He does not want to disappoint our nation, but the truth is he can't please everyone. My children can't always please me. Every time you pick up your child and hold them or feed them, love them or discipline them, think about the struggle we go through learning how to be a parent. The president will be going through that same struggle. We either unite and help him or we go our own way and fall apart. Give him a chance... We are all learning this together. we are all struggling together and watch for the rainbow...

I feel like venting

I don't understand people. Why do some give other chances over and over and over? When is enough enough? Why can't I go to work and just do my work without problems? Why would you let someone walk all over you time after time after time? Don't give them last chances? Deal with the issue and stop being some ones patsy! I hate confrontation, but I hate knieving, sneaky, whiny, oh poor me attitudes worse!

People have no clue what they got tell they lose it. Maybe they should spend a day transporting the wife dying of cancer or walk into a 911 where the house is piled with unsanitary conditions and their are children living in filth or the mental person who can't help themselves cause they hear to many voices and you get to transport them for two hours,listen to their life story. The teenager that is considering suicide because his parents don't pay attention to him. This is some of the stuff I dealt with when I was an EMT.

My whole life changed because of the experiences I have had. I have a much better understanding of life. I think I have had two fight with my husband since I left being an EMT. its not worth it. My family, my children and my outlook on life is much more important to me.

I try really hard to look for the positive in everything and if I can't find it. I hope for the best.

I get so irritated with people when they are nothing but what I consider trouble makers life is crappy for them and when they are handed a silver platter they don't say thank you or I can't complain. I am in a better situation or job. No they have to look for ways to keep sticking a knife into people. I just want to slap them up along the head and say what the hell is wrong with you. Put a freakin smile on your face and be happy with what you got. It could be worse. Idiot!!!

okay I feel better now I can lay that to rest for now!! Until the next time.... Hmmm maybe there won't be a next time!

Round three Ding ding ding

It snowed again about 6 inches. I love the snow, but now its affecting the school days. My kids are suppose to go back to school. Still waiting what the school website is going to say. Its beautiful out and lucky I don't have to go anywhere. If I can I will take a couple of pic before the rain is suppose to hit. Which will make a even bigger mess for the commuters.

I talked to my brother last night and he was not happy about the snow. He is a ups driver and hates working in it. My husband has some friends that are sheriffs and Kevin made a comment on his facebook about watching all the lovely snow and one replied back and you crazy. So for all you that have do work out in the snow, I feel for you. I love it, but it makes life a lot harder. Hmmmm I wonder if my garbage will get picked up...
