Early Samhain


Had a lovely evening. Crone Gloria put on a beautiful & thoughtful public Samhain ritual. The wind was with us & within us, blowing all around us & through us, letting us all know the Goddess moved through us & our ancestors passed on were there with us as well. It was uplifting, contemplative & lit a new hope in me for this coming year. Blessed be.

Details...

I haven't been here much lately, there's just been too much going on. For those of you that have access, I'll give details over at ymy other blog. Just suffice to say it's been a bumpy ride & theres still plenty of roadblocks ahead. But theres light at the end of the tunnel. Things can & will get better, of that I am sure.
On the lighter side, going to a Samhain celebration tonight. I have a lot of things to let go of this year, & many to recieve into my life.

Good Night

Last night was a normal family night, but I really enjoyed it. Only thing missing was my girlies. We all had dinner together, then sat down to watch a movie, haven't done that in some time. We watched WIld Hogs, it was hilarious, especially the ending. I loved it!
Me & thew Ice King kinda cuddled on the couch too, very nice. Woke up in a really good mood too.Hmm...wonder why?
So....Good Morning.

My past comes back to me....


Once upon a time I had a very dear friend. A friend I'd had since I was in 4th grade. My best friend. We were friends all thru elementary, middle school & high school. We had a slight falling out as teenagers do & didn't speak for some time. By chance one day, we started talking again, we talked frequently & visited each other off & on for another 10 years. Due to some circumstances surrounding my divorce, we had another falling out. We were both in radically different places & said some hurtful things . Well chance happened upon me the other night, I came across her on Myspace. I noticed shed even gotten a divorce. Not knowing the circumstances, I hope it was her choice. :-l I took a chance & messaged her & happily, she messaged back, favorably. Here's hoping for a new start & a new chance at renewing our friendship. She meant a helluva lot to me & for the past few months she'd been on my mind quite a bit. So...here's hoping.

Pensive....

Feeling kind of moody & brooding today. Can't help but find myself wondering..."Is this all there is?"
"Is there something I could have done? Or should have done?"
"How different would my life be?"
"What if.....?"
I should be happy with what I have & be grateful for the things I have in my life. My 2 beautiful girls, 3 great boys, Jeff, my Mother, my sister & her children, & the friends that surround me, but there's that nagging voice at the back of my mind ......."Somethings missing..."
Something that makes me wonder if this is how I want to live the rest of my life. Can I be happy this way? or am I going to be forced to make changes for real happiness?
I don't like when I get like this. I start to question my very existence. & then I get restless, wanting to grab the girls & run away somewhere. I won't though......change scares the hell out of me.

Wilkommen!


had a great time today! Me & my transplanted Okie man packed up the Okie girls & headed out to Oktoberfest. There was great German music, beer, dancing, chocolate covered everything, beer, rides, beer & of course, as goes with Oktoberfest, there was beer. Jeff, the Ice King, was our designated driver, & I could have done it too for the free pepsi(lol) but I left my ID at home. So no free pepsi or beer for me. Oh well, not fond of beer anyway.

The rides were quite overpriced & due to the shutting down of a few of them, I wasn't too sad about skipping them altogether. We saw all kinds of dancing, Kayla thinks she wants to learn German/Irish style dancing & Abi & I are thinking about belly-dancing lessons. What great fun that will be!

Winding down now to a quiet night, can't wait til next year!

Been Awhile

So I've been slacking. I haven't posted here in a bit. It's been pretty busy though. Haven't heard directly from BB yet, they're trying to get settled in down there. I spoke to Chris,BB's son with whom they're staying with . Seems they had a little bit of car trouble on the way down. Chris came to the rescue, as soon as he got there, the car started right up. LOL
As my ex-stepdad always says" it's not the car, it's the driver."
Anyways, BB's eldest daughter & her fiancee are working for Chris now doing roofing & apparently they love it. Hopefully, the $ will start rolling in for them & BB will find another job doing eldercare, like she was doing before. She had a great love & affinity for working with old folks.
Today, BB's youngest daughter came over, her & a friend & will stay for the weekend. Wonder how I can slave 'em while they're here? LOL
Me, Jeff & the girls are going to Oktoberfest tonight. Should be fun.I like looking at all the vendors, The girls will likely want to do the Chicken dance......Not sure there's enough beer there to make me do it. LMAO

Sad...

BB left this morning. At 7:20, they pulled out of the driveway & headed for Galveston. I knew it was really going to happen, but now it's real. The last few weeks have been very interesting. I think we all learned a lot about each other & about ourselves. I'm weepy today. This liquid substance keeps coming out of my eyes, but I know those aren't tears. Nuh-uh. No way. I don't cry....At least, not where anyone can see me. Maybe just those silent hiccupy cries where your eyes turn red but your nose doesn't puff up.
But I digress................
I am going to be a bit on edge until I hear from them. It's about a 9 hour drive so I figure it will be well after I get home from work. I just pray all goes well & uneventful, but I hope it's one of those road trips where you discover things about yourselves. Driving alone, for a lot of people, is empowering. I know she's not alone, but she's the lone adult. The kids might be both 18, but they're still kids.
Anyways, blessings to you all & I hope you find what your life has been missing.

The end is almost here...

Busy weekend! This was BB's last weekend here. So as a last ditch effort, she agreed to spend some time helping out at my house. We switched rooms with mom & My oldest Okie girl, giving Mom a bit more room in the way the room is shaped, we also drug everything out of her room & painted it the prettiest aqua color. Then if that wasnt insane enough, we proceeded to paint my little Okie girl's room too. A pretty pale pink. Both girls were absolutely thrilled.Nisey's poor cat was utterly confused though.lol If my mom had known she slept on her pillow with her.........
It was also a weekend of realizations for me. I realized what is truly important to me & what Im willing to sacrifice for happiness. I also came to the realization of just what I will tolerate & where my breaking point is whjen it comes to relationships. I learned a lot about myself this weekend.
On the downside, BB leaves bright & early tomorrow for Galveston. Im sad. :-(
Very sad. The last few weeks shes been here have been a lot of fun at times, like staying up late watching scary movies, late night snacks, or just general working around the house.
I wont get to do it again & that makes me sad.

Tainted Toys

With all the stir about the many products from China that have been recalled, I'd like to do a little digging as to the cause of all this. Many would jump to say the Chinese are at fault for producing inferior products. Well, to an extent, yes.
Others would say those large company's are at fault for outsourcing & paying low wages to the Chinese workers. Yes, partly.
How about we lie the blame where it truly belongs? Square on the shoulders of the American public. The public who whines & complains prices are too high, the public who demands lower prices. You know the old saying, "You get what you pay for."
Something worth having, is worth paying for.
Certainly the large dollar whore companies are to blame as well. They sell their manufacturing to the very lowest bidder but expect them to produce a top notch product. They also seem to make a practice of not overseeing the production of their products & blindly send them on to the public.
As well, the manufacturers are to blame for bidding such low amounts, I place very little blame here. Many standards overseas are not as stringent as they are in the U.S. Also, the living wage over there is abysmal. Honestly, I would probally cut corners myself.
Opinions?
Thoughts?

Neener neener neener!


Tulsa County Voters Say 'No' To River Tax
& thank the gods for that! It was a poorly planned & presented project. I have no doubts they will try again, however, I certainly hope they pay attention to Tulsa citizens & listen to our concerns this time around.

GO VOTE


Get out there! Do your civic duty! It's your right! Get out & vote & show them what you think !

Monday (ok it's really Tuesday but it's Monday at work) Musings

It was an interesting weekend...............Let's tally up all the itnteresting things:
1) bandaged a cat's ass
2) argused amongst ourselves
3) laughed so hard I cried
4) re-bandaged a cat's ass
5) watched my sister bandage a cat's ass
6) watched my mother trum us all at bandaging the cat's ass
7) had a decent time at the State Fair
8) wormed a cat (different cat!)
9) didn't get enough sleep
10) organized & cleaned house
11) did an obscene amount of laundry
OK, the bandaged ass cat, has gotten into some S&M shit & likes to chew on herself, we got a new kitten back in May, said kitten introduced fleas to our previously flea free other 4 cats.2 of them decided to have a flea allergy, both are looking kind of sad at the moment. The little female kitty, Angel, kept biting & chewing her hindquarters & refused to stop, wed medicate & medicate, they'd almost heal. Chew. Chew. Chew. Start it all over again. Even the vet was at wit's end. So we got the idea the other night , bandaged her butt & tied it off with an ace bandage. Looks like she's almost diapered.lol, but so far seems to be working.
The other cat dropped some weight & his coat looks dull, so hoping worming will do the trick for him & he'll perk back up.
Being there were 10 people in my house at any given moment over this weekend, bickering was bound to happen. 10 people & 5 cats.....you take your pick, we all probally argued at some point & time. Alls well that ends well though. BB's youngest daughter & her fiancee are back at Job Corps & today BB & the 2 older ones went off for some day labor to make a little extra cash before their move.
I can't say how much I have enjoyed them all being there though. Probally bad timing, probally too cramped, but it's nice to get some extra time with them before they're far, far, away. I do have to say sleeping arrangements have been like stacking up cordwood.lol

All in all, a fairly good weekend.

& he says hes not obsessed?
Hmmm, evidence points to the contrary.

Fair deal?


We went ahead & attended the State fair today, however, we refused to ride any of the rides. With the number of accidents (at least 5) just in the past week & not to mention the forced removal of Bell's Amusement park, that is just staying on my boycott list.
We walked the livestock barns, went all thru the Expo center even tho it was hot as Hades), got rained on (a state fair tradition....), & ate some artery clogging fair food. There were several 'interesting' items I didnt dare try. Cheese on a stick & spam on a stick (fried, corn dipped spam -puke). We did do the obligatory corn dogs & funnel cakes. UGH, enough grease for a month or 2 there, but they were goooood. Something about the cool air, the smells , the sounds, that makes it all taste better. Last years fair was much better. Bell's was still there, we went at nightime & the midway just felt so different. I really mourn Bells being gone. it sucks.:(
On a different subject, I got a haircut Friday. Did something for myself for a change. Got it shortened some & layered up, it's really cute. Nice to pamper oneself every now & then. Maybe I'll get brave & post a photo later. LOL
On the homelife front, BB & her brood are still her. It's been rather tense of late, as I type, there are 10 people i this 4 bedroom house. It's crowded & 10 people eat more than 5, but all in all, I am glad they're spending this last bit of time here. I am really going to miss them.

12 year old 'wisdom'/ Workblogging....


Yesterday BB picked my girls up from school. After bringing them up here to 'beg' for soda from the machine (lol), she took them to a local play park. At this park is a large teeter-totter. My sisters eldest daughter was on one end & my eldest on the other. BB was standing somewhat behind her, unbeknownst to my daughter. Every time the teeter-totter would come down, hitting the ground , my daughter uttered quietly "My ass." Catching BB's interest, she stepped closer. "My ass." Plop "My Ass."Plop. "My ass." "Hmmmmmmmmmmm", BB thought. She came up closer to her & at just that moment, the totter hit the ground pretty hard "My f*cking ass." BB's eyebrows shot up at that utterance & she said "What did you say?"
So my 'witty' potty-mouthed child repeated it loud & clear.Sigh............. So much for humility.
Then she adds" I don't seewhy people make such a big deal out of cussing. They're just words. Words like any other words. Words aren't that big of a deal."
So I have to ponder. Are they just words?
We have heard the old rhyme "Sticks & stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" I have likely said that rhyme more than a thousand times. So why DO we make a big deal out of cussing.
Now I'm not condoning the usage of the swear words by a 12 year old child, but I do have to think on her opinion. Thoughts anyone?

October 1st


Today is the 1st day that has felt somewhat 'fall-ish'. I am going to pull out all my halloween decorations & go to town tonight, getting them all up. I can't wait! I love halloween/Samhain! this is my absolute favorite holiday & time of year. I love the way the wind feels in your hair, that slight undertone of chilliness, the way the leaves start falling & rustling around with the wind, I love to hear the wind Whoosh against the front door. I love the mystery surrounding Halloween & the spiritual rush I get from Samhain. THis is my actual new Year for those of you that aren't familiar with it. My goals for this year is to get the family back on track as a whole, (my other blog that a few of you have access to will be detailing those issues).
I've been helping BB get her stuff moved, she will be storing some things here & come back for them in a month or so, once they get settled into their own place in galveston. Damn, I'm really going to miss her. I hate talking on the phone too, Im glad theyll at least have some online access. Gouibg to be weird not having a sister here. Shes moved out of state before, once to Arkansas & one time before to Texas, but this will be for good. :(
