    30 days???

    Hey all..... I will try hard to catch up on all the posts in the next couple of days. I had phone service on and off, even in Colorado, I guess from Alltel having troubles in the hurricane! I so appreciate More2 posting for me, and I got MA out an e-mail finally! As you all know, this has been one rough couple of months, I may have to change my "handle" from Tough in Texas, to HAD ENUF in Texas.... I now no longer even mutter "what could happen next", I'm terrified I'll find out. I cannot tell you how wonderful Cowgal/MA is....she's really not that image of a tattoed Cowgal....lol.....she is adorable, funny, sweet, and very cute!!! She's travelled the world, and is an artist that someone has offered to manage, sooooo, we are all going to stay on her toned ass to move forward towards a new and improved lifestyle!!! I'm so glad we got to met, have a great time, eat good food, work-out, talk, and have POWER....sure makes you never take essentials for granted! I'm glad we both got home in one piece. I cannot tell you all how much your thoughts and prayers sustained me! I could feel each of you sending me good vibes, if you hadn't, and if I hadn't felt it, I'm afraid I'd been in the ditch big time! I want to write a long post tomorrow, lots to tell you all.....Life being too short, has come home to roost here, and we're going to make some changes....my hubby is one month younger than my Uncle that passed away, and was friends with him too.... I do feel a bit orphaned, loosing your Dad at 56 suddendly, your stepdad of 15 yrs, killing himself, and the one rock of a man left standing, still helping put the pieces together, drops over too.....I'm still in shock and awe mode, from all the devastation with the hurricane here too, and all the death...but I'm getting my feet back under me, slowly, if not surely. Have lots of ins. guys, and roofers, and tree men to wait on tomorrow, got home at midnight last night....so I'll have time to write my mini novel. KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU ALL TONS AND TONS, AND COULDN'T HAVE MADE IT, NOR WILL I EVER, WITHOUT YOU ALL!!!! MA, I'm soooo glad you are doing soooo well, your transformation was amazing to see, keep it up girlfriend! More2, you'll be ok...I'm going to call you tomorrow, I love you. I'll have to read about Bootsie, omg, she was AWOL!
    Where's LUV, did I miss her posting? Bird, you sound like I would be, if I had to study, esp. MATH, I have to use my fingers under the table at the blackjack table in Vegas, I suck at math and school, I'm impressed with you!!! Greenie, been there, done that, you hang in there. Best, you are the best, I admire you lots! Nibs, you know I felt your barn prayers! Mom3, thanks for thinking of me, all of you, thanks sooo much! More tomorrow, love TIT as TITTY BABY right now!

      30 days???

      hey!

      It is soooooooooo good to see you back here TIT, I cannot express my (and I am sure everyone else's) gratitude to have you back!! And safe, even without power and all the luxuries in life, hang in there, you are still in my prayers (and everyone else's I am sure!):l:h

      Everyone, have a great day, it is early and I am hitting the road to hopefully find a job or at least a job lead.

      I will work a little on my painting today (as reminded by ToughinTexas!) So nobody has to ride my butt! I promise!!!

      Love you guys!!!!!:h:h

        TIT, so happy that you are back home. You are so right, we take the creature comforts of our home for granted. I know how, totally, out of rythme I felt after we lost our home and posessions. It is like nothing you can imagine. I'm sure you have tons of work to do but try to rest. I'm sure you're exhausted.

        Keep going, MA, this will probably lead you to something even better than before. An artist! Can't wait to see something of yours.

        Love to everyone- going to get busy and stay focussed today. Much to do! Love all - Best

          Welcome back!!! Even though you have been through so much, your strength shines through your post. So good to hear from you.

          MA

          Keep up the good work. I used to be a career counseling...networking, networking, networking is the key.

          Luv,

          Where are you? You haven't posted in a while.

          Have a great day all.

            Thanks guys, I didn't get my long winded post done today, will try on Thurs., had a million business e-mails to handle..... I love you all sooooo much!!! Yeah, hey, anyone heard from LUV?? I thought of that last night! And has anyone heard about Cindi, what happened anyway??? Nibs, where are you? You are kinda slow here...lol... I know Bird's head is in a book, seems like alot of folks are missing in action! Good girl Cowgal, start painting and maybe in that mediation phase, something will come to pass to earn you income and peace too! Congrat's to ALL that are doing soooo well, you are inspirations!!

                good morning

                Hey all, well, it is about noon, was up all night w/ stomach problem, YUCK, REALLY thought I was going to the ER, but thank GOD I rode it out.

                I am off to another busy afternoon, doing all the things I always wanted to but was too busy working (wow, I am going to not enjoy going back to work when that happens! :H:H )Pick up Zac, then time at David's swim meet..................

                Since I am waking up so late, I will not get "everything on my list" done, but I will get over that, there is always tomorrow, right!?

                TIT, sooooooooooooooooo glad to have you back, I will go to Kinkos and get the pic blown up, then get some board to draw it on (and a black fine-point pen to draw it with).................wish I had a camera(David dropped my old one, after his trip to Belize, and Mike ran it over w/ his truck.........that was back in July!! I need to get on them to buy me a new one!!) that way I can post some pics of my work..................

                Anyway, gotta go, off to my busy day!!!!

                love you guys,:l hang in there, LUV, where are you?? hope you are ok.

                  Hi all! MA, enjoy your time while you have it. Soon you will be at work, grinding away, like the rest of us. TIT, glad you're back, hope things are calming in your world, but probably not for awhile yet. Ditto on LUV. Where the heck are you? Rachelita, I posted in family forum for your mom. Momof3, more2, greenie, bird, oky, gyco --- where the heck is everyone? back to work - Hugs!

                          Wonderful to hear from you Mrs. Bear Jr xxx I'm certain that Papa Bear is shining his loving light down upon you as you work away on the project he so loved... I'm really happy to hear about the Harley being rebuilt and, also so, so , so proud of Bear Jr remaining AF !!! That is awesome !!! I'm sure I speak for everybody when I say, "I cannot wait to hear about your bun in the oven" Thank-You ever so much again for being in all of our lives. May God Bless and Keep You all xxx

                          Welcome Home Tex !!! What a relief to read your post once again Sweetie!
                          Cowgal, I'm sending "employment vibes" your way my friend... Gosh, how I'd love to get to meet you.

                          And Best is almost ready to celebrate 6 months AF !! Yipeeee !!!!

                          It's always great to hear from you Momof3...

                          And Bootsie stopped by !!! So nice to hear from you.. You haven't been around for quite some time... ummmm,,,, you missed that my old Cody passed on August the 31... he is now happily enjoying the green pastures with Tex's sweet old mare. :l

                          Lately I've been so busy... Tomorrow I will work from 8am until around 7:30 pm... we have a function at the school and there is only myself and my boss that can work alone. Thank goodness Friday is a PD day with no school
                          We started digging potatoes out of the garden... 2 wheelbarrows and we still have another half row to dig up... gosh and they were planted from some old potatoes left over from the year before. Looks like we'll have enough seed potatoes again for next summer

                          This Saturday we are having the neighbours from Indiana over to our camp for lunch. We'll head out for camp Friday sometime and come home on Sunday. That will give hubby some time to finish plywooding the porch, linoleum and shelving.
                          Well, I should get my butt in gear because I haven't even done my chores yet... where does the day go??!!
                          Hugs, xxx

                                Hi all,
                                I HATE SCHOOL. I really hate it. Band is so boring and all my time is spent doing math and I'm failing that. I don't know what I was thinking doing this. It is costing me 20$ a day to drive back and forth. I am drinking again since it started. Everyday as soon as I get home I have to get on stinking MYMathLab and even if I stay on it 3 hours I'm still not caught up, not to mention all the time I spend in the Help Center and skipping out of work for that. I used to hate my job but it is paradise compared to this. Maybe I needed this to show me how good I have it. I am thinking of withdrawing. I will have to pay back my financial aid, but I'm sure they will let me make payments. Damn....sorry so negative but....bird
