I haven't decided which location i am going to use for the design blog yet either. But after i get a few made i will decide that. anyhoo I am off to run some errands and such. Then on to creating.

Most important things in my life

2007-11-16T09:25:00.000-05:00

Ok I need to get some balance going so i am making a short list of the most important things in my life. My goal is to begin focusing all my time aND ENERGY IN THAT DIRECTION THEREBY GIVING MYSELF SOME GROUNDING AND FOCUS. I need a really short list as not to get to overwhelmed, then i need to break that short list down into small peices that i can focus on.
so this is the short list I will beging with...

God&Family

A.start spending more time with both
1. Get back to church more, attend more weekly services when possible
2. Get back to date nights with Mr. Big and family nights with chris
More sister days too.

computer work

I have in the past become too involved with online relationships and situations. I now realize that I need to stay on the lite side of every online situation and such. I have found that online situations will sometimes tend to suck a person into areas of drama and create unwanted and unneed challenges.

I think my life is full enough with real life challenges, I don't want or need any added challenges, especially in places I use for playgrounds and having fun. I want to play and be lite when I come online so I need to stear clear of complex situations and such.

I needed to regain some focus of why I started using the computer and the www in the first place. It was in the beginning a source of relaxation for me, and there are times when it still is.

But I have found that the www can also be a complicated place with serious issues and challenges even more overwhelming sometimes then real life. I have allowed myself to get caught up in unpleasant and unhappy situations that held me prisioner with pain. So now I need to step back from those kinds of situations and keep my online time as playful and peaceful as possible.

So in order to do that I need to begin to focus more on the things that make me happy when I come online. The things that relax me the most about being online, the things that bring me the most joy when I am online. And that of course would be creating something wonderful or beautiful or writing something interesting.

A.Focus more on making designs and writing books than anything else.
1. create a place to store designs for blogspot.
and share them for personal and public use.
2. focus on creating in one style at a time.
3. explore all options of design then create accordingly
B.Also when time permits focus on artwork and creating cartoon dolls and such.
1. update my cafepress at some point and add new items

The Lord is My Strength

2007-11-15T08:23:00.000-05:00

“We must interpret circumstances by God and not God by the circumstances,” wrote G. Campbell Morgan. “The peril of the hour is that men and women of faith may be trying to account for God by the circumstances of affliction.”

We see God in His activity. He has demonstrated His holiness, justice, and love at the cross. There is no reason why we should ever question His love because of the great manifestation of that love at Calvary. He sent His Son to die for us while we were yet sinners (Rom. 8:32). God does not change in His eternal attributes.

We are tempted in an hour of extreme difficulty to judge God by what we are experiencing. The reality of God’s eternal presence compels us to examine again the dark hour we experience from the standpoint of the eternal God (James 1:17; Mal. 3:6).

In his impressive dialogue with God, the Hebrew prophet Habakkuk asked hard questions that trouble the minds of men. What Habakkuk was questioning was much like what we see and experience in our day. Why do we have to witness the violence, iniquity, wickedness, destruction, and perverted justice, etc.?

The LORD God told Habakkuk, “I am doing something in your days – you would not believe it if you were told” (Habakkuk 1:5). God was using the circumstances to accomplish His eternal purposes. “I am raising up the Chaldeans” (v. 6).

When the Lord treads the winepress He forces us to live out what we are in the inner person. He forces us to reveal what we are on the inside. He will not allow us to say we are one thing and be something else in life.

Habakkuk learned from the terrible invasion of the Chaldeans to put his trust in the eternal God who sees the end from the beginning of all calamities. “Yet I will exalt in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation” (3:18). That is seeing God above the circumstances.

When we see the circumstances through God’s eyes, we are transformed. “The LORD God is my strength, and He has made my feet like hind’s feet, and makes me walk on my high places” (v. 19).

Habakkuk was hiding in God’s power. The God of Jacob was his refuge. “His ways are everlasting” (3:6). The eternal principles have not changed.

May God give us discernment to see His hand in cruel circumstances. When we are overwhelmed by the present evil age, we are inclined to ask, “Why are You silent when the wicked swallowed up those more righteous than they?” (v. 13).

Do you have some cruel, wicked, violent Chaldeans invading your fortress today? The LORD God told the fretting prophet, “The righteous will live by faith” (2:4). That is the only way you can live in those circumstances.

But the critical question is in whom or what is the focus of your faith? “The LORD God is my strength” (3:19).

When we see the LORD God is the One in control of the circumstances we want to shout out with Isaiah: “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation. Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation. And in that day you will say, ‘Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted.’ Praise the Lord in song, for He has done excellent things; Let this be known throughout the earth” (Isaiah 12:2-5, NASB 1995).

Selah!

Revived after amost 2 yrs

2007-11-14T11:34:00.000-05:00

Well I have revived this blog after almost 2 years of neglect. I am in some sort of online transition right now and it is something i really don't understand, nor can i explain it. But for the moment i felt like i wanted to use this one again so here I am.

I was reading over some of my old post in here and most of them were about mother. They make me sad now that she has passed away. It is going on 9 months now. And yet a part of me is happy and relieved. I am happy that she is not suffering anymore, she is finally at rest and at peace. I am relieved that i was able to accomplish the task of taking care of her without putting her in a nursing home. Yet i have a daily sadness also. I miss her a lot. But over all God is still in control. Hope i have more time to write here too.

Acting funny

2005-10-31T10:17:00.000-05:00

Today i am feeling really cranky, ( read my blog previous blogs of the day for more infor on that).
anyways i wonder why sometimes people began to act "funny".
You know what i mean, they start out talking to you almost everyday, and you seem to have a few things in common and relate, then one day you might reveil something about yourself that they dont like.

Or You might say you don't condone something that they may feel differently about, then all of a sudden they start acting funny. avoiding you and not talking to you like they use to. You know they are still online yet they dont talk to you anymore. To me thats acting funny.

I havent encounter many people like that but a few. And its always the people who use to talk to me a lot, then all of a sudden poof as if they disappear, from talking to me.
Why do people do that.
It really does annoy me.

no more negativity

2005-10-13T09:33:00.000-04:00

ok, I got my negative feelings off my chest where my sibs and my mother situation is concerned, now I thought i had already let all that stuff go, but funny have a special event in life can trigger a memory and the hurt comes back and you find that the wound you thought was closed seems to still be open.

So today i am putting a new bandaid on that wound and allowing it to heal again. I hate negative emotions and i refuse to let them rule or control my life in anyway, so today I start fresh with this sibs and mother thing again, and I let go of all the hurt, i forgive them for what i feel they didnt do, or can't do and i thank God i am able to do what needs to be done.

I release all the emotions that flooded me with pain, and i resolve to do the best that i can to make my mother as comfortable as i can for the rest of her days. I realize that my sibs may never understand or help out and they have their reasons and I respect those reasons whatever they may be, and i still love them and i will still welcome them with open arms and do my best to put all this pain behind me.

Today I renounce my negative emotions and my hurt feelings, i forgive them, I release them and let them go to their highest good so that i too can get to my own. I renounce my negative thinking and my selfishness and blame. I refuse to be a prisoner to anger anymore. I will make the best of this situation and live my life to the fullest as best that I can.
I will take my lemons and make lemonade. STARTING,. TODAY.

back on the mother soap box again

2005-10-12T10:34:00.000-04:00

as mothers 75th birthday comes to an end last night, I was still in my rude awakening zone, yet now i was in a sad state. I realize I loved this woman all my life and all i ever wanted was for her to be proud of me, and i never felt she was. However i loved her even the more. She didnt know me, i left home at 16 and we never clicked, we never grew any mother daughter bond. She was always doing and seeing for the other sibs, i was just the child in the middle or atleast in my eyes. I now realize who really cares.

My baby sister stopped by and sat with mother for about an hour. no other sister or brother even bothered to call and wish her a happy day or nothing. I guess they may feel this is hurting me, but its not, just making me a bvit anger with them for being so selfish and not realizing that our mother is slowly slipping away from this world.

As i got her ready for bed tonight, I just sat there on the end of the bed and looked at my frail little shell of a mother, who use to weight about 200lbs when she was in good health and mind, has now dwindled down to a mear 140lbs. She talks in a sweet voice and is as polite as every. She says thank you and please even with an insane mind. she never raises her voice. strange how alzehimers has made her a nicer person really. yet still derranged.

As she sat there in her easy chair and talked in unknown riddles, i began to cry and feel a complete sadness come over me, i realize i really care about her so much, In fact i always have. I feel that we are almost at the end of this long journey through time. and I feel that she will be leaving me some day in the near future. And I sudden realize that its all so unfair. I guess God gave me the assignment of taking care of mother because She never knew me when she was in her right mind, and yet even now she still doesnt know me because of her gone mind.

I simply feel sad.. I missed my mother... I always have.
.Happy 75th birthday mother, I love you so much. sweet dreams.

A rude awakening

2005-10-10T12:17:00.000-04:00

warning this post is explicit read with that in mind.

Over the past 5 yrs I have taken care of my mother who is slowly progressing with alzehimers. This is a woman who use to be a social butterfly and everyone came to her for advice, now she can not even tell you who she is.

Its sad and painful and my rude awakening happened on sunday morning when we had an appointment to take some pictures for her 75th birthday. When i went in her room to get her ready, she had speared feces on the wall and a hugh hunk was sitting on the night side talbe. She had done this before but it had been a while and besides that she had never done it on a day when we were going out. Now mind you I was already dressed and had my good clothes on and such, now i have to put on gloves and clean up the feces before i can even get her ready. It was a total mess and i was so angry. I try not to get angry with her because i know she doesnt know what she is doing, but I was angry at my sisters and brothers, at that moment it hit me. They had not as much as taken her home for a sunday dinner with them over the course of the 5 yrs that her alzehimers had been progressing, then i began to think back in time, how i had to leave home when i was 16 and do everything on my own. I had to buy myself an old peice of car to ride around in, while my sister and brother who lived at home had cars(nice new cars) bought for them by my mother. They always got the good part of her.

She simply doted on them all, and they all had everything almost given to them from her. She gave them money to start businesses and all that, while I had to struggle alone and everything i got i had to work hard for myself, she never gave me anything!. I was always last on her list of things to do.

Now here i was at age 48 standing in my kitchen crying because even now my brothers and sisters were still getting the good part of her. They hardly ever come to see her and tehy only come around when she is clean and pretty sitting in a chair and they can sit there and hold her hand and laugh and such like. Then they go home to their nice smelling clean homes and relaz in their beds at night. While i have to get up in the middle of the night and stop her from tearing up the room and stuff.

I have to clean up the feces and urine she plays in. i have to own a supply of disinfect and pinesole and such like to try and keep down the odor in my home that never quite goes away. I never get to go out with my husband or plan a vacation unless i can pay for a baby sitter for mother. They never offer to fix her a meal or take her for the night or any of that. And I was having a rude awakening.

That even now, I get the dirty end of the stick. All my life i had to fight and struggle to make it, and even now I still do, while they get the good times. some how it just doesnt seem fair. But i know I have a job to do so i will take care of her as long as I can and the best that i can. And they wonder why i dont want them telling me how to do things in MY own House. duh.

I just wish once they would come when the feces is on the table and she has it under her nails playing with it, and then they can see the real truth and not the little fairy tale land of mother they now live in, but the reality of my daily life is consumed with caring for her, having boxes and boxes of rubber gloves, disinfect and all that. all the time. And they have the nerve to tell me i need more patience,?? i think i am about as patient as i am gonna get.!! now I've finally said it!

something I find strange and hypicritical

2005-10-06T10:23:00.000-04:00

I dont usually speak on such things, but this is my blog so I can if i want to, anyways most who read it wont know what i am talking about anyways unless you are a member of this online community, however, I pondered this thought this morning.

Over the course of time, I have seen some wonderful artist being accused of frankin dolling, AND THEY WERE NOT..

To think that there are people who actually write nasty tag board notes and harrass people on the web as they accused them,.. most times falsely of taking an eye, ear, arm or a leg that looked like another's, (how assinine that even sounds now as i write it)...

and i have even been accused of taking the style of others,
WHICH I HAVE NOT.I pride myself on being different and using a unique style of my own.

yet and i too have also seen my own style of creating being used and taken and called someone elses own,

I even push the envelope and create new and different styles, purposely now as not to look like anyone elses. which i later see being used on others creations and being called their own, but i say nothing, because no one can take what is within me.

And once i produce it on the web, i realize it is up for grabs, and I am not offended because I am ever learning and ideas are ever flowing through me and for me, so i will continue to create unique and unusual things, so I am not pressed by that. however....

It is strange and hypicritical to me how frankining dolling is condemned even to the point of running people off the web for it, yet during the season of halloween they actually have, encourage and allow challenges and contest where you can make a "frankin Doll".

How strange and hypicritical that seems to me. to say on one hand that you don't allow this kind of action, to the point of abuse and hatred towards people whom they never the less suspect without even having evidence. Lives have been abused and mistreated on this note and subject as such. yet for the sake of challenges and contest during halloween you say its ok??
very strange and hypicritical.

Got my work done

2005-10-05T10:58:00.000-04:00

Dear Husband:

I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for good. I've been a good woman to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it. These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and that was the last straw. Last week, you came home and didn't notice that I had gotten my hair and nails done,
cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new negligee. You came home and ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching the game. You don't tell me you love me anymore, you don't touch me or anything. Either you're cheating or you don't love me anymore, what ever the case is, I'm gone.

P.S. If you're trying to find me, don't. Your BROTHER and I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!

Your EX-Wife
*******************

Dear Ex-Wife

Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good woman is a far cry from what you've been. I watch sports so much to try to drown out your constant nagging. Too bad that doesn't work. I did notice when you cut off all of your hair last week; the first thing that came to mind was "You look just like a man!" My mother raised me to not say anything if you can't say anything nice. When you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY BROTHER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago. I went to sleep on you when you had on that new negligee because the price tag was still on it. I prayed that it was a coincidence that my brother had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning and your negligee was $49.99. After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason I guess. I hope you have the filling life you always wanted. My lawyer said with your letter that you
wrote, you won't get a dime from me. So take care.

P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this but Carl, my brother was born Carla. I hope that's not a problem.

Signed Rich As Hell and Free!

God watches over America

2005-09-08T16:27:00.000-04:00

Over the course of time, the united states has survived many destructive and aweful things, we have come out victorious no matter what we have faced in the past.
We have never been a country that found comfort in seeing others in pain, we have always been a country willing and ready to help others. And anyone who can find comfort and joy in the pain and suffering of another human being is simply sick and ignorant. Anyone who can find comfort and joy in what has happened with hurricane katrina is sick as well.

And Although we in the united states may not always agree on the way to handle each situation, or who may carry the blame, in the end, we will stand together in times of trouble.

Our standards of togetherness in times of trouble have been ultimately the thread that has held this great county together. And now once again in the mist of trouble we will stand strong,
we will over come,
we will rebuild,
we will not give up,
we will not cave in,
we will not quit,
we will survive hurricane katrina just has we have survived everything else that has come against us, and we will pray to our God, and he will hear us just as he always has, and he will help us to come out of this tragady victorious as ever.

so no matter what anyone says, our how anyone feels, yes it was a big surprise, and yes we are facing a aweful thing, but the united states of america has always ruled, and we will continue to rule strong and steadfest unmovable, abounding through all things. And this too will pass. And we will be stronger for it.

Just checkin in

Happy Labor day to everyone, i am working on a new layout

well thats where i am right now:))

The Ask Hole

2005-08-19T05:43:00.000-04:00

Today you get to ask me 1 question and I will answer
it to the best of my ability. Go ahead,
ask me a question, anything at all.

What If......

2005-08-18T06:34:00.000-04:00

What if Bill had not gotten caught banging Monica, would he still be president?

What if JFK had been caught banging Marilyn Monroe, would he have been impeached?

What if someone had told us 9-11 was going to happen before it did, would you have believed them?

What if the bible is true and Jesus really does exist,
and is really coming back for his people in the rapture,
will you be ready?

what if....

Have you ever......

2005-08-17T09:53:00.000-04:00

Have you ever dreamed you were using the bathroom, and thank goodness you woke up just in time.

Have you ever given up your space in the grocerie store line to someone who only had a few items and they ended up taking longer to check out then you thought possible.

Have you ever picked up a stray dog or cat along side the road, took it home and then decided to take it back to the side of the road later.

Have you ever put on your clothes in the dark, only to find in the light of your work space that your had on mix match socks.

Have you ever got your hair cut and hated it, but you told the beautician you liked it anyways.

Have you ever been sitting in church minding your own business, and all of a sudden a sexual thought entered your mind.

Have you ever forgot to lock the door while using the bathroom and someone walked in on you.

Have you ever forgot where you parked at the mall and had to get security to help you find your car.

If you have never done any of these things or simular,
you must be from another planet.

Another wet one

2005-08-16T11:45:00.000-04:00

Its raining and I am simply glad to be inside and not have to go out in it today. I am taking a day off and getting some paper work done, but of course i made time to play too:)) Hope i dont have to build an ark or anything, enjoying the rain.

I wonder why.....

2005-08-15T14:51:00.000-04:00

I wonder why God made something as ugly as the rhinoceros, yet something as beautiful as the peacock. or is that the other way around in your eyes.?

I wonder why it can be raining on one end of the street and yet sun shinny on the other, at the same time

I wonder why men have a higher sex drive then women, well most women.

I wonder why pigeons like to crap on my car window, all the time, or so it seems.

I wonder why the lady at the end of the street is always in her garden,
and does she get high out there?

I wonder why Whitney Houston married Bobby Brown..he must be good in bed or something.

Getting some fun done.

Working on a plan

2005-08-11T14:34:00.000-04:00

Today Im feeling:
I got back before the commission board on the 10th. so today I am working on a plan for my appeal. I road around and found more group homes in the area simular to mine and now i have compiled a data base to work with in my appeal for zoning of my new home. Its always different when you try to open in a county where they dont know you. But I am determined and relentless.

My mother is not doing well at all, she spends most of her day sleeping and getting food and water in her is almost becoming a chore.
Over all i expected as much. It is still kinda sad, knowing the woman she was before, so independent and such, now she is like a 3 yr old. But my goal is to keep her comfortable and as happy as possible.

The appraiser came yesterday and gave me very high marks for the house. I was pleased with her so far. I will know the full story by monday i think.
anyways God is in control of all things and i look to him for strength and guidance in my life at all times.

I try to laugh a lot because i know that laughter is good for the soul. and healthy as well. So i try to stay as positive about everything as i can, but of course i do have my moments of discord and such like.:))

Clean up Wednesday

2005-08-10T11:36:00.000-04:00

Day off to do what i want?? humm I guess, anyhoo...Got up at 7am and cleaned the entire house. Top to bottom, finished around 9am, got mother a bath and dressed, fed and settled in her favorite chair. and set out to pay some bills.
Took care of everything by noon.
The appraiser came today and did her thing, so i guess we will know what the house is worth by friday or monday. My MB blog is down again sence last night. So i am really glad i found you!, now I am off to play with some html. holla!!

When the big Kahuna lost his balls

2005-08-09T15:08:00.000-04:00

Well it has been almost a year sence the big Kahuna lost his balls.
September the 4th will be one year exactly. And i think it was the best thing I could have done for him. Sence that time he hasn't sprayed any walls or furniture, and he doesnt act like he's on crack everytime the girls go into heat anymore either. He has gained about 5lbs and is more layed back than ever. However he is still the biggest little a**hole I know. Still as mean as ever and will bite a leg in a hotlanta minute if you look at him wrong. over all he's still king of this castle.

Well its Tuesday

2005-08-09T07:56:00.000-04:00

And I have been up sence 4am. Prayed for an hour and tried to get some understanding of what happened last evening. I had a meeting for zoning with the commissioner's advisory board. It started at 7pm, i was the last name on the agenda, so I had to sit through every agenda, and watched as the board mostly spent the night denying petitions left and right.

I am a bit disappointed that the advisory board denied the approval of the zoning for my new group home, but their reasoning just didnt make any sence at all, They said it was because they were concerned about fire safety of the children and such, i just got the impression they simply didnt want a group home in the neighborhood.

However I am grateful that they don't have the last say in the matter, another meeting will be held next week with the board of commissioners to see what they have to say on the matter. I will do my best to be better prepared for them as well. I know God is in full control so no matter the out come, I will overcome with victory in all things.

My other blog is down this morning and I cant get in, so I am glad i found this one also. It will be my back up for MB and MB will be my back up for this one. I am finding I need more than one blog, so i will always have a place to write and vent.

Anyhoo i am off to start my day. Got a few meetings , then i am off to pet smart to get the dogs some food. The appraiser is coming in the morning to appraise the house, so we will see how that goes. Bringing forth new things and being a trail blazing business woman is sometimes not the easiest thing in the world to do. But I am so compelled, i must do it. I know it is indeed my calling in life.

My mother is holding her own, and my own(smiles), the alzehimers is in charge so we just do whatever it says to do.

My Monday Rant

2005-08-08T15:07:00.000-04:00

My Monday Rant.
~The Senerio~....A group of people come to tour your business and someone comments these words"Wow, the way this place is decked out you must have more money than God huh",..

People seem to use that term so openly and freely.
I dont know why but that statement simply earts me everytime I hear it. How asinine to say such a thing. Just because you have money and a lot of it, dont consider yourself above God!
How stupid is that to me... seeing that God is the creator of all things including Money.

Psalm 24
THE EARTH is the Lord's, and the fullness of it, the world and they who dwell in it.
