New year...new everything 2011

as you can see from the dates on my post I have not written in a very long time. I have to admit partly because I forgot my user name and password...lol but also because life has its ups and downs and I guess I was just too busy to stop and write....well here I am...unemployed, new man in my life...someone whom I went to school with...we met on facebook. His name is Ralph. He lived in Utah and I am still in PA. We started really talking alot and found we had alot in common..we finally met and a couple months later I flew to Utah and a week later we jumped in his 1973 Ford truck and drove back to PA. had a BUNCH of times we had to stop because of the truck was not running well and the tires were about to blow but all in all is...we made it safely.... Ralph got a job shortly after moving here which was a good thing.... BUT I am still unemployed and struggling to make ends meet. Thats all I am going to say about that.

A few weeks ago we went to NC to visit my sister and my daughter and the beach... we had a good time, but it wasn't long enough. I want to live there right by them and the beach! BUT Ralph wants to live in the mountains od NC...I DON'T! yuck..why move then. anyway my kids are doing ok...Dana had a second DWI and they said she had a hit and run and a few other violations. VERY SAD NEWS. we were trying to get her to stop drinking but she would not listen to anyone. I knew something bad was going to happen and it did. So yesterday she finally signed herself into rehab. I am unable to talk to her while she is there. If I had the money I would go visit her, but I don't even have money to buy coffee or shampoo as of today. I can only pray that she learns alot about why she feels the need to drink and hopefully she won't blame it all on me. Ya know know what is kid is thinking about your parenting skills. I can admit I was not always the best mother in the world but I did my best with what I had to work with. So..my son is doing much better. he finally has his own little apartment in GA and he has a full time job. :-D

that makes me SO HAPPY! Jamie is going into her senior year of high school then plans to move to GA to go to SCAD...lets just see if she goes. I don't want her to leave me! She just started dating a really nice boy. he's a couple years older and at first that upset me, but hes got a good head on his shoulders and he treats her well...so for that I give my blessings.

As I mentioned before my sister now lives in NC which makes me very sad. I miss having her close. Seems like nothing will ever be the same now. Mom doesn't want to get together for holidays because Teresa is not here. Doesn't seem right but whatever.

well thats about all for today...I will share a few photos. :-)

July 2010

Wow has time flown by since I last wrote... I FINALLY am working full time. Started two days ago and I needed it so badly! We recently took a trip to NC to visit Dana & Mike and their new home and new puppy Zoey! Our trip was short but sweet. We stayed at a motel right by the ocean. Got burnt and now I am suffering because of it. My back has been itchy with a rash since we got home. Teresa had her anual 4th of july party and Al did not go with me again this year. He "claimed" he was sick but really he was mad at me for being bad with money....hhmmmm. Two days later though I had to go to his brother in laws(yes his ex-wifes brother) house, and I went. I guess we are different like that.
Jamie is doing much better behind the wheel and I guess she will be getting her license in the near future. Nothing else is new...hhmmm

no news is good news!

Its been so long since I wrote, but I guess that is because there is no news to write about! Which I guess is a good thing. Other then the fact that I need a full time job! I am struggling with a part time job and no money to really enjoy life. I know they say money can't buy happiness, but hey it can make things better where you can actually afford to do something other then work and clean your house. I am seeking a full time job...anyone know of any?
Jamie is now 16 and has her permit...YIKES! Freaks me out every time she is behind the wheel.
Matthew is living in GA with his girlfriend and currently working with his dad! (Thats good news!)
Dana and Mike bought their first home in NC (Very VERY proud of them!) can't wait to go see it! If I can afford the gas to get there!!!
We have a cat now name Lilly. I got her for Jamie for Christmas.

My job at M Realty merged with Weichert Realtors acclaim, and that is why I am now part time :-(
Other then all this....nothing too new or too exciting!

I love this!

One Flaw In Women Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice. They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding... Their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart. Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love. They have compassion and ideas.. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH. Please pass this along to all your women friends and relativesto remind them just how amazing they are..
