Little Girl turns two today.

 And its bittersweet.  Sunday will be six months since Steven left us. He had wanted to make Boo's second birthday special. The irony is not lost on me,  though its hard to laugh about.  Boo came to US for a reason. . . and I'm… Read full post »

This past Friday was five months.

Thursday I was antsy, and T surprised me by driving me to his new house (the one he’s been working on since last October) The ride was comfy and yet, kinda awkward.

He was worried about it not being finished, but I didn’t care, I… Read full post »

Sorting through stuff should be a happy thing, fun in some cases.

To some extent it has been easy but then I’ll find something that brings back a memory . . . like my husbands long trench coat, the soft leather still smells like him . . . the last time… Read full post »

* Puppies are magic. (Like I didn’t know that already!)

* Paying it forward is the sign of a happy person. :)

* We never stop loving those who leave us . . . they merely open our hearts to share that love with other people.

Apples: Mommy only gives me these once in a while, I like to chase them and then I get to eat it, well not all of it . . . mom always wants some too.

Blankets: They’re all MINE. I’m sure Mom has learned that by now “burp”

Car alarms: These scare… Read full post »

Some say the little things don't matter, but there are times when the smallest gesture is more powerful than any spoken word.

What can be said about someone who would risk their long planned holiday trip for a long hug and a kiss on the forehead?

Well, that happened yesterday… Read full post »

I’ve never felt so stripped and exposed.

I saw my lover last week. Only this time was completely different . . . it was the first time T had seen me totally break down.

Thanksgiving week is now a blurry memory, but  today was the first day that I actually felt okay enough to give myself permission to enjoy some time with the girl and get out of the house for the day. I took puppy through the Del Taco drive thru and she… Read full post »

 Needless to say the past four days have been blurry and as the days pass, the last few weeks have become hazy to remember. 

All I remeber now is how bright Steven's eyes were when he spoke to me for the last time on Saturday night.  He came to, long enough… Read full post »

 

The past few weeks has taught me one thing.

Our bodies are meaningless.

The man I began my life with so many years ago is struggling to break free from a body that has betrayed him. He can rarely speak coherently and drifts from sleep to hallucinating most of the… Read full post »

 

So hubs was hospitalized two days ago and despite intensive treatments, his weakness is not improving and the infection in his leg ulcers has spread to his bloodstream. Aside from treating the infection, the focus has turned to controling his pain and keeping him comfortable. He's on… Read full post »

 

Am I losing it?

Jeez in the last few days, I've been emotional as hell, horny as a cat and just plain crazy.  I know its stress but dang.

And then the baby cravings come along.

Damn, damn, damn!

 Hubs is taking it in stride, yet at the same… Read full post »

 

 

So, long story short, Fluffy is home.  He had LITERS of water removed from his chest and god knows where else. He hasn’t felt this good (or crazy) for over a year. On the flip side, his heart is shot, meds will only work so long and he needs an…

 On Saturday night Fluffy was admitted to the cardiac care unit.

His heart isn't functioning enough to give him the required medication and as a result they cannot raise his blood pressure. He was given an PICC line and all that. His constant coughing is making it difficult to breathe… Read full post »

 

Friday was laundry day here at the Den.

Everything was fine until I couldn’t find hubby’s socks. Miss Paws was watching me sort clothing with suspicious fascination. My ‘mom radar’ went off and I smiled as she bounced off toward the living room. I followed her little but… Read full post »

High School With Booze!

So last night was my 10 yr high school reunion mixer.  Fluffy was unable to go with me, but insisted I go and have fun.

So, I spent half the day “primping” and decided to show up and have fun. Like every high school reunion people expect some… Read full post »
