Have a weekend that was a week long....maybe I could get things done......This was a short week for me with the holiday and all, but it still turned out to be a never ending one.......Had to have a root canal done on Wed....ya that was what I wanted to do.....so now as with all insurance, I have a temp filling in it while I wait to have a crown put on it......the the 28th I get to go in for another one...seems to the dentist i see now that years ago when i was young.....gawd that was so long ago......they were in the habit of overfilling teeth and it seems the filling swells and splits the teeth...go figure....JOB SECURITY i guess......

But then on Thursday night I was ever so surprised to come home and see that my love Pauline and Shaughn had bought me a wonderful gift...Since we both have back issues my hubby had told her about this Shiatsu massager that I had terribly wanted to get but just couldnt find the extra money to buy......needless to say they bought me one. First they bought me my new eroscelator that had been "broken" by a so called friend who has no conscious let alone common sense...Hell no remorse for anything........then they buy me this....I am forever indebted to them......

I have to tell you all, for all the years I can remember, I have wanted a friend like Pauline...she is always there when i need to chat or just to hold my hand when I am down and need that little pick me up...she really is my best friend( now I say that in the sense that you must all understand my first and foremost best friend in the entire world is my husband, but Pauline is my best girlfriend) I love her with all my heart and I trust her with all my heart...She and Shaughn are the kind of people who I value more than anything. They are true to who they are and what they are. There is no "front" "this is who I am and what I am and if you are ok with it then ok, if not then thanks for stopping in". That is how I am....I say what I mean and I can back it up.....


I know this is an odd Blog....but it was what was on my mind this pm....maybe it is the Vicodin that the dentist has me on.....<giggles> but really I hear that massage chair calling me.
Hugs and kisses to you all,
The Innocentone

Have you ever had weekends that just didnt seem to be a weekend? that is how it has been for me for the last 3 months it seems, busy as hell never enough hours in the day for what i want/need to do.......it is really frustrating...i find myself sitting more than i ever used to have to and taking pills like they are candy...I know how Pauline feels...they make you act silly and you cant drive anywhere, but with out them you cant move let alone stand to breath......winter is hard for me as we have wood heat and not only gathering it but also having to man the fireplace is a chore...lucky for me we got a really nice wood stove last year and it heats great and will burn most the night so i am up only once instead of 3 times a night.. the only thing is,, it is down stairs and i am up stairs...so once i am up and down the stairs i hurt too much to sleep......

really wishing that we could order replacement pasrt for our bodies....could you imagine the waiting list there would be for a back and a hip for me??? then the cost......well we can dream anyway right? the day wasnt too bad here really once the sun came out....but this am it did call for a fire in the stove and a nice cup of hot coffee under a blankie for me...when i get cold i seem to hurt worse........

anyway just wanted to say hello and hugs to you all and i am off to be a bit early tonight...
loves,

I really do get on here and read the blogs, I just dont seem to have the time to update mine all the time.......Made some salsa today and got it canned up......with all the tomatoes we have off the plants it is to good use.....didnt have anything else in the garden this year, and the poor plants i have now are on a watch as the dog in the ally wont stay out of the yard and they were all to hell yesterday.....Cory says that he will tend to that soon...... gonna go huntin he is....
The dog is getting fat sassy and a bit bitchy...well not to her momma but to the others she is....
havent had anything of excitement here, got a damn cold from the kids and now i have to take those nasty ass cough drops that seem to do no good...........
well today was a rough day for me,,, the stress level was up there and whtn that happens, i used to reach for a nice cold pepsi..which i had quit drinkin for a variety of reasons, but the main was that it bothered my tummy and was just bad in general for me in the amounts that i was drinking...gaws i sound like a pepsiholic! truth be told i was...so today as i was in line i hear that old familiar sound of a fountain soda thought what the hell i had enough and i wanted one.........well first off it had been 34 days since i had had one and so you can imagine the sugar rush it was...didnt really taste as well as i remember it being...only 3 sips and rumble went the tummy....DOWN THE DRAIN IT WENT!!!!
so even though I feel as though i "fell" off the wagon.....I jumped right back on that damn thing! Not worth it and I could feel myself turning into that crabby person i was when i would run out of pepsi...not what i wanted....so it was off to the kitchen to get a nice big jug of ice water and out so sit in the chair on the carport....Cory cooked up a wonderful BBQ dinner burgers and hotdogs...i made some baked beans up and some corn on the cob.....made a pig of myself with the corn on the cob....but hey it is all good for you right? we had invited Shaughn and Pauline over but he said she is under the weather so they had to pass this one...maybe the next time.....
hugs and kisses to you all,
The Innocentone
that was about it in a large nutshell for here

Woke up to a beautiful sight this morning.... It had rained all night and the streets were all wet, it was early (6:30 am....once the sun is up I cant sleep)It as so quiet and peaceful out and that is such a rare thing here in town that when you do get it you really appreciate it a lot.......It was so nice to get up and smell the rain...
But then.......after I had all the morning chores done and the things that needed done did... Like pick all the ripe tomatoes from the garden, we got 10 today with about 6 more ready probably tomorrow........we were off to the mother in laws house to work on our other truck...the sister in law had borrowed it and blew the head gasket....so we get to fix it....the rain had stopped here so the ground was wet but that was it...(ok I admit it I was a little wet too...but hey you have to dry up to make that the news of the day and since I am always dripping....well ya know) anyway.....we get out there and what do you know....raining like hell!!!!!!!!!!

So we thought that we would offer ourselves up to a few yard sales that we had seen along the way and passed up in hopes of working on the truck.....didn't find a whole lot but I did find a nice box of silverware for only $2.00. Had about 50 pcs of forks knives and big and small spoons...You see it was the small spoons that i was after as when we have company over and they bring their kids, those are the ones to get lost and the drawer was simply void of them....JACKPOT!!!!!!! So now i have plenty of them..that is until they are lost again to never be seen..........

Kind of a lazy day today due to the weather and oh how good it makes those of us with arthritis feel.....barely moving but damn it I am moving.......So i thought a bit about it and decided that it was a beef stew day today....Found some venison stew meat in the deep freeze so it was to be a venison stew instead.......now we are in business.....the real deal here now....so with about 2 pounds of meat, a bulb of garlic and 2 large onions I started in to make my man a real meal that would warm him up...got this all going and headed to the freezer once again to get the beef stock that I had made from the last roast we had...this is gonna be good......some carrots, corn from the cob, peas,(nope not the fresh ones I got from Pauline...I had those last friday for lunch)a few potatoes, and some onion soup mix. Set her to simmer and then in to sit a few to rest my back............

Got to thinking about it a bit and thought well I am not in the mood for just plain ole bread and butter....so after about 30 seconds I decided that some buttermilk biscuits were in order...so in I went and got them going so that they would be done when the stew was done... they were ready to go into the oven and the stew was about done....a bit of cream in the stew and it was all done, a quick peek in the oven and the biscuits were done also...got some fresh made raspberry jam from the pantry slathered it on a few biscuits and a nice big dish of stew for Cory......

Man was he surprised, he thought we would have a light dinner since I was not feeling up to par........first thing he said was wow smells great!

The kids even ate it with out a complaint.........so it turned out to be a nice day after all and after I had a nice dinner I was off to get a few pain pills and lay down to relax.....but first off I had to let all of you know you are all in my thoughts and send kisses to you all.

Also our little dog is knocked up....this I dont mind as they are good money makers(we usually get $300 to 450 each for them)
This one we got $450 out of as he was an albino and they are very rare:


This is a pic of the whole litter she had the first time(this is her second time around)


she is a really good mommy and does really well with them....

This is just a cute one of my 2 cats.....they really are best friends

Here i sit wondering where the hell the week went and thinking how happy i am that school is starting...........the 6th of sept here for ours and damn it hurry the hell up and get here.........They are ready to go back and you can't imagine how ready I am for them to go back...........
Not a lot new here with us....the same damn shit day in day out............Cory starts back to school Sept 19th and then the reign of hell starts again and begins rear its ugly head.............no I am not refering to me........Homework the dreaded homework............I am planning on getting my ass back..........YES I SAID BACK in school also....thinking that I may do it in the winter quarter.......only a class or two at a time......I really need to get that Bachelors degree so that I can quit changing adult diapers for a living and make som real money.....

Thinking that a degree in human relations would go nice with an ATA in Criminal Justice.......I would really like to be a pathologist some day and find the causes to some of the mysteries that are in our lives and the tragedies that they have caused, I would like to be the one to put an end to it and make some sort of peace for a family.............

Who knows I could be the next one to be on CSI and not be a victim...............however with teen years as they are I could be the one on CSI and be found to be the suspect!!!!!!!!!!

All my love to all of you and may you all be blessed with some sort of piece this weekend......piece of mind......piece of soul...piece of ass.....what ever works for you.....

I am sure that everyone has thought that i have fallen off the face of the earth into some damn volcano that ate me up<giggles> nope I have just been lazy. work has been kicking my ass and so I have been just coming home and calling it a total day and laying around doing nothing.........And I mean NOTHING and the house showed it.......
So as you can see by the time of my post....I stayed up late tonight to get the thing done so that I could enjoy the weekend.....Tomorrow we are going to go to the river and relax all day long. There will be fishing for the kids and Cory and I will be found on a blanket soaking up the sun that will be out......Nothing truely new here to complain or brag about really......
Hope that all is well with all our friends and that you all have a safe and happy weekend.
Loves and licks to you all

Has anyone ever wondered why the hell a comapany gives their employee medical that they cant use for anything?.............I went to the doc today about my back again and he tells me that he has no idea how many visits it is going to take before I have a chance at feeling better..........So i proceed to tell him that I only am allowed 12 visits anually and then I have to pay for them fully... Like i have $45 to give him 3 times a week...shit at that price I could fly Dough up here weekly to massage my back and other parts and feel better<giggles>

So I am going to make time to go see the family doc who with any luck will write me a script for some more Vicodin and I will just deal with it with pills and rest when I can. Not my 1st choice but not a lot I can do.......

The day was far from bright all the way around...woke up to rain and it stayed cold all day......I do believe that we are thru with summer ( if you can call what we had a summer) and fall is all too soon around the corner.........Do believe that we are going to have a rough winter this year.......
Had a really nice time this early evening....after dinner I decided feeling well or not I had been neglecting my hubby....so I took and have him a little attention and then next thing you know I am giving him a BJ from hell so that he would not think that I had forgotten about him......it was so nice and felt so good......I am sure that he enjoyed himself very much....wore him out I did
loves and licks to all,
The Innocentone

Well it was as you can guess a long day, up since 4:30am as by back just wouldnt let me lay there any longer...and also was up most the night anyway....went in to see the doc about the back and I was so fugged up today that he couldnt even touch my lower back......did some work on the upper part and the neck but that was it.....He says that it is going to take about 5 more months to get me into any shape to where I wont hurt near this....although he will not guaruntee me anything as far as relief....and then I will have regular maintenace monthly.

So I am facing that fact that I am broken and I will as Pauline does, deal with it as best I can.........Do what I can and the hell with the rest.

Thinking that this weekend we will get the blades on the weed eater and do more in the back yard, and haul things to the dump.......Kids can load/unload it....
Off here for now...
Loves to you all,
The Innocentone

as you can see it is a mess....but here is the start of the pile....



Cory had some work cut out for him and now that I have all the berries out of the way he can cut more of it down for me so that I can get to the rest of them....I am so thankful that we met 18 years ago and are still together....... He really has no idea how lost I would be without him....there are so many days I would not survive if it were not for him....

Also have some pics I wanted to share with you all, these are some of my favs......





This is my spoiled rotten baby........



and this one is for Shaughn....



I told you that damn dog was easy....she will even let a cat nurse on her......and there is nothing there to even eat....so tell me that she isnt a horny bitch......
Loves ya,
