Fantasy World Is More Fun!

Last night I went to play bingo by myself and won 500.00 I was happy about that. I enjoy sitting by myself and playing bingo. I have friends there and enjoy their company but I like to sit alone while I daub my numbers. I have my favorite seat and I have my favorite stuffed bunny I take for good luck. I have to remember its a game and just because I didn't get my favorite seat doesn't mean I won't bingo. I have to remember there really isn't a Bingo God that will help me bingo if I'm good all week. I don't know why we/me Bingo players have a ritual we go through every time we play. Isn't it funny..... but I do enjoy the game and I think it makes my mind think of numbers and daubing them instead of worrying about my son's cancer returning or the economy or the fact that I have talked to my mom in almost 5 months. Maybe that's why I like Bingo..... Its a fantasy world for me.

Christmas Was Sad...

My mother in law Jane passed away on Christmas Day. Jane has been living with us this year and she decided to spent Christmas with her daughter in Oregon. Bill put her on a plane to Oregon (45 min flight) on Tuesday the 23rd. Christmas Eve night she felt sick and had a really bad backache. Betty took her to the hospital where she suffered a major heart attack. Jane's main aeorta ruptured. She will be greatly missed. Jane always talked about her wonderful life and how she loved her kids and grandkids. I took care of her this year and was able to get to really know her. Jane had many stories and loved telling them. She was the perfect grandmother and mother in law. I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. She is now in the arms of her late husband again. We love you Jane.... fly high and we will all meet again. This picture was taken last week. Jane loved our dogs and this one (Sassy) was her favorite. The snow was so deep that the dogs got so wet going outside, Sassy knew that Grandma would towel dry her each time she came in the house. These two had a tight bond.

More Snow!!

Oh boy... we are still getting snow on top of the snow we already have and so far we are at 7-8 inches. The only problem is the airport has been canceling flights and we need to get Grandma on her flight to Oregon. She is living with us and I love her dearly but I need a weeks vacation from caring for her. She has erly dementia and it gets hard to keep a smile on your face when she forgets EVERYTHING and then argues with you when you correct her. Anyway I'm looking forward to Christmas morning with my boys and hubby alone enjoying our Christmas presents and not having to wait for her to get up, go pee, get her pills and coffee and bitch because its to early. Please let her plane take off so Her daughter can enjoy her for a week and I can enjoy my family for a week, thats all I want for Christmas. Here are a few more pictures of the snow.

Let It Snow !!

Oh boy we are getting some snow... so far about 3" and we are soooo loving this. My 3 pomeranians tried to eat each snowflake but gave up as the flakes were coming way to fast. We have our tree up and decorations outside. Now all I need to do is put gifts under the tree. Grandma Jane (who lives with us) is heading to Portland, Or. for Christmas with her daughter and family. This will leave us home with the boys and I have Christmas breakfast at my house and dinner at my son's home. We will enjoy the boys being home from school. Hope everyone is enjoying the days leading up to Christmas. Here are two of my Pomeranians ( Morgan & Daisy ) playing in the snow.

Scrapbooking !

My boys are going to be so mad at me. They hate pictures and that is what is going to happen today. I want to take pictures of them and lots of them. Joe especially hates pictures and Will is the one that loves to be in pictures. I will have a battle but I will win. Joe owes me big time.... I took him to town at 10:30pm last week to stand in line for "World of Warcraft". I took him the night before to pay for it so his name was on a copy. So.... I will use this to make him pose for all the pictures my little heart desires. I have a project and that is doing a mini scrapbook together of my boys. This is a small one that can be carried around in my purse. I bought this kit from www.mostuff.etsy.com my kit came yesterday and I'm anxious to take this online class. I will post a picture when it is done.

Driving The Freeway !

My hubby is soooo brave. Our 16 year old starts drivers ed tomorrow and he got his permit last week. Bill took Will out driving and even let him drive the freeway... YIKES ! I drove with him through town but thats enough for me for now. I have learned by listening to Will that he is nervous about driving to close to his school because there is a group of teenage boys that always try showing off behing the wheel and he is afraid to be driving anywhere near them. I think this is good, I know he is going to be cautious. I'm a chicken and it looks like I passed that on to my son... even as a baby he was cautious, never wanted to even try to climb out of his crib, never climbed on furniture, never ran off when we were outside, he was born scared of things. He always hated loud noises, would freak out in grade school over the fire alarm when they had fire drills. He was 9 before he could sit in the Kingdome and watch baseball. I remember him at 1 year freaking out because we wanted to go to our local carnival. As soon as we got him out of the van and he heard people screaming on the rides he started crying. We took him to Disneyland at 9 months and he hated the noise there too. He finally grew out of this scared of noise thing when he was about 8 or 9 thank god. Will's younger brother didn't have this problem thank goodness. The Drs just told me that his ears were sensitive. Now my baby is driving but is nervous about the other drivers, this may be a good thing.
