my babies

I have some pictures of my cute babies, Taz and Gidget. Taz is Ian's dog and Gidget is mine. They are toy aussies. Taz is 6 months almost 7 he was born NOV 18, 2008 Gidget is a cutie and she is mine all mine. She was born February 21, 2009. I feel like she was meant to be, because she was offered to me once because a family turned her down because she did not have blue eyes. At the time i did not think i could handle two puppies. Then she found another home. Well things went bad come to find out here eyes or the one the iris did not completely finish fusing together so that causes her pupil not to work good. So i lost Fergie like the first week in April and was looking at the web site that I had gotten Taz from and saw this cute little puppy that was for sale as a pet only. I called Michele the breeder and she said Vicki she is available and i said without even thinking about it yes. Then come to find out she was the puppy that was offered to me a long time ago. She is so good, she goes to the bathroom outside, she loves to go for walks and she is such a lover. Loves to cuddle. She is a beautiful Harlequin Red Merle. which means she has every shade for Red in her coat from light to dark. I want to do agility with her, and so she almost knows this she loves to run around the pool and jump she is going to be perfect. Taz on the other hand is lazy very lazy, Good thing he looks so good. Wherever i go people are always asking what kind of dogs are they? and what beautiful dogs they are. Gidget has been the medicine i have needed. I have been so down since moving to Florida , I don't know leaving a place that i had lived for 11 years was hard. I had never lived anywhere that long before, I just had a lot of major life changing events. i know quit whining.

this last weekend I put a bike for myself on layaway , and i am ordering a basket so I can take my gidget with me when i ride my bike. It is a cool bike i got it on sale. It is an electra i have been looking at these for quite sometime they have what they call the flat foot start. YOU are flat footed when you start the bike the pedals are slightly in front of us so instead of your feet going up and down they go out, so you work your whole leg. I know working those big muscles in the back of the leg that help you to have a nice ass. Speaking of ass. You do not get a sore one when you are riding the seat is not and comfy.

The last couple of weeks i have been driving the van around UGH due to my mother n law being here. So it is just a Chrysler van like a thousand others even has the color everyone has that teal blue, Anyway i have not got the assimilation done on it yet, I have the hardest time finding it in a parking lot. The other day i walked up to this Van thinking it was mine opened up the door thinking this is weird i thought i locked the door almost got in the seat when it dawned on me this is not my Van, okay so I shut the door real quick and look around making sure no one saw my blunder and found my Van the next parking space over. Then today after spending all day at the mall i went to go and get my Van and could not for the life of me remember where i had parked it , finally found it about 10 minutes after walking around the parking lot . I want my Truck back. hope you all have a nice weekend can you believe it that July 4 Th will be here in two weeks, Wow summer is going fast. Peace :) here is the website for the electra bike company they are awsome, of course mine is the pink townie. http://www.electrabike.com

the week so far

This has been a busy week. My oldest son and his family came up on Friday night and Jeremy left by himself on Sunday to enjoy a week of peace and quiet.

Lara and the boys stayed here, Sunday we went to EPCOT to celebrate Ron's birthday. It was a hot day we did get lucky however and did not get rained on.

We went to the Japanese restaurant there to celebrate Ron's birthday. The kids had fun watching the chef cook our meal.

Then Lara and the boys and I went around to all the different Countries. Epcot has this neat thing called kidcot. These are booths at the different countries where the kids go around collecting charms from the different countries on a mask that they decorate or not. on the stick that holds the mask each country puts there stamp on that stick. Example china the charm is a kite, and the stamp is whatever sign you are in the Chinese horoscope. i found out that my grandson Jackie and i are not only Tauruses together, we also share the sign of the monkey. In china they also put their names in Chinese on the back of their mask.

I know so neat.

After EPCOT, on Sunday, we had Monday to look forward too. Lara and the younger boys were going to Melbourne to visit with friends. Charlie stayed here with me to go to day camp with his uncle Ian.

So Monday was busy , Ian had guitar lessons in the morning. In the afternoon we drove to Sanford to the central Florida zoo to go to camp there, and that is pretty much how my week has been. Lots of time in the car. I cannot wait until Friday to go to work so that i can rest up :)

Today Miss Gidget and Mr. Taz went to doggy day care, while there , Gidget got the last of her shots. The Vet put on here paper in big letters VERY CUTE PUPPY. Cannot agree more. They were so cute and good on the way home i thought that i would take a picture of them. They are so good about posing for me. they are such hams.


This morning i got up anticipating the launch of the space shuttle, but once again the mission was scrubbed, i figured last night after all the thunderstorms it was not going to happen, so now i have to wait until July to watch the shuttle go up.

I am looking forward to the weekend i work on Friday and Saturday and have Sunday off, Jeremy is coming back on Friday and Lara and the kids are all coming back as well. So i will have a house full again that is okay it will be fun. then it will get quiet again on Sunday that is when they all leave. I want to wish all you Dad's out there Happy Father's day. Hope it is a good one.

Have a great week. Until next time Peace.

I know it has been awhile

Greetings From Florida,

I know i have not written anything in awhile. I really have not done anything exciting. At least nothing i can talk about. My job at the psych place is always interesting. Never a dull moment. the ones from corrections i think are the saddest. Because psych problem is what probably got them in jail to begin with.

When they are with us they can be themselves and not have to worry about being harassed or anything like that for awhile. They are the best behaved of all the patients they do not demand anything they take their meds for the most part and just genuinely really Thankful to be here.

They said in orientation when a man is getting raped in prison the guards do not do anything as long as they hear screaming when that stops that is when they step in. This really bothered me still does. I guess the guards do so much and then they let other prisoners take care of the rest of the discipline.

The guy who is sitting on death row for killing my brother, spent like a year in prison before he was let out on early parole , when he got caught with a underage girl he broke his parole but he also knew he would be going in as a child molester. So the prisoners in their own world do not put up with this , i am thinking this guy who killed my brother saw what they did with child molesters or maybe he had it done himself i don't know , he just saw the writing on the wall and needed protection so he killed himself a cop my brother.

During the trial i kept looking at this guy thinking he looks allot like my brother, everyone thought i was crazy, maybe. Or maybe it was just God's way to help me forgive him i don't know.

they say that i will know when they bring in a patient who has been raped he has no soul in his eyes. there is just a dark stare, They had a guy who had been raped who lay ed in the fetal position for 2 days and then slowly came out of the place where he was.

I know Vicki quit being so depressing. Sorry, Yesterday i went and interviewed for a position at the state correction center here. I don't know if i got the job or not they said that they would recommend me for the job whatever that means.

I think it will be a good experience because i will get clinical experience, which is all good. the prison sits right next to a winery, they lands surrounding the prison are very peaceful and beautiful . I saw a couple of Heron grazing there. Then you have the winery's orchard surrounding it.

I guess i will know soon if i got it or not.

In the meantime on to lighter subjects, My puppy Gidget is now four pounds she is getting big and just as sweet as ever. Taz is up to 15 pounds. he is still stubborn but he is beautiful.

the weather has been typical Florida weather for this time of the year. We have had thunder showers like every afternoon, it keeps things green and we need the water.

Ian is out of school he was supposed to be in pottery camp this week but they did not get enough kids so Ian is home this week with me. Next week he starts his guitar lessons.

Yes I got suckered into that. When i bought him the guitar he said " thank you mom this is what i always wanted this is my lifelong dream." Yeah i heard that one before. Seriously though i do hope he likes it and does good in this.

Well i need to get on with my day, I hope everyone is having a great day. Peace
