Stop the world, I wanna get off…

My couch is floating….and not because we have had a flood. I stand and feel like I’m standing on a board ontop of a soup can trying to balance it. Its just wrong. During my vacation I would have ‘leftovers’…feel like the kitchen was on the boat kinda thing. Well, today is Thursday and I havent been on a boat since Sunday… and its worse than ever. I called out from work because by lunch time yesterday, I couldnt stand without falling over. And today? If the laptop would stop swerving all over the place, this entry would have been done a lot sooner and with fewer typoz…
Anyway, here are some more pics for any who care…

I’m Back!
By Shannon | August 19, 2008
We got back yesterday, I had already unpacked by the time Hub got back with dinner, and its safe to say we had a great time, and we’re exhausted!
This is what we saw for the majority of our vacation…
Even Harley the Wonder Dog got in the lake
He always ran away from the boat, but never wanted to be left out
We went to a park,
We went to Charlotte, to Raleigh, saw a movie, lit sparklers, but for the most part they did this
This is what its all about…Family, and this is their family tree
More to come later, but I still and rocking and weaving from a stupid pontoon boat…can you imagine me out on the ocean?

Whirlwind…
By Shannon | August 4, 2008
Just a picture of my girl…
My weekend was good if you can call a funeral that…It always seems that a funeral turns into a family reunion. It was fun to see all the generations and my kids with their cousins.
BUT, now we have a day in a half to get ready for our trip to NC…10 day trip.
Oh, and that math placement test I had to take? Totally passed it! Yay me!
Now, after a month of working on my worksheets, dentists, working at Target non stop, and 50 mile round trip camp days…I get to go on vacation…and relax.
I’m outta here!

One more angel,
By Shannon | July 30, 2008
Last night Hub’s grandmother, Charlotte, passed away. She was 91.
When Cameron was little and we had 53 grandmothers in town alone, we dubbed her ‘Ma’. It took, and we all called her Ma. It helped when she would turn off her hearing aid, and we would scream to get her attention….MA!!!!!!!!!
She lost her husband, in the 70’s I believe, so she moved in with my in-laws. For 20 plus years. It was normal. She even moved out of her basement apartment, into a tiny room, so that Hub and I could move in with Cameron while we sold our condo.
She never learned to drive, she had sewn all her kids clothes, and buried 3 children. When her daughter passed away, she took in all of her grandchildren and raised them as her own. She made the best homemade noodles.
She was a very special lady. And now she’s back with her Husband, and looking over us, smiling.

Keepin’ busy
By Shannon | July 29, 2008
Brayden James had his teeth pulled…
The dentist confirmed that my lovely boy should not have teeth like a shark.
Last Friday my girlfriends and I took our kids to a local water park… if you ever want to see pure joy on a 6 yr old, throw him in a lazy river with a life jacket, and watch him get catapulted by the super-powered jets. awesome.
Then today. Today we went to a farm, where the kids ran until they couldnt run anymore. Where they played in a maze and bounced on a giants pillow, and buried each other in corn. It was nice to have the distraction…
My Hubs grandmother lay on her deathbed in Ohio. Please, if anyone has any clout with the big guy upstairs…let him know that a very special woman is in need of some peace.

I’m alive…
By Shannon | July 24, 2008
several injections later, the needles weren’t so bad- I’m tough, but when the medicine would hit the nerve…screaming did occur…
I’m starting to hurt more, I’m gonna lay low with my girl today and color. That makes us happy. Because practicing math does not. Some people do puzzles, we color.
Ciao!

The one where I cuss…a lot.
By Shannon | July 23, 2008
I will be at the Dr.s in the morning- having blood drawn, spun, and re-injected into my back. Weird I know, but I’m too young to feel this old.
I will be back by noon, and probably feeling really poorly. Or, I may feel fantastic! Doubtful.
I had my hair done today, Im happy with it, went to Target feeling pretty good, like you do- but my brother, who was taking care of the kids for me, was feeling sick and I was worried about that…and then I had to deal with a co-worker, if you can call him that- he’s more like a gnat. A fucking little annoying stupid ass non working shit-gnat that thinks he’s gods gift and far better than me. But oh by the way, you jerk off - you work at Target too. ass. This is sooo not worth the friggen 8 bucks an hour.
So, off to bed…Hub comes home tomorrow night! yay! Except, while I’m was earning said friggen 8 dollars an hour and dealing with Super Stupid Ass, he was out at the movies…wrong, very wrong. Its ok, I’ll get over it.
