Bad Dreams

I have had two bad dreams (nightmares) about the same thing. The first one had my husband and I were looking for refuge at our daughter's home. She asked what we had done and I replied, "We voted for Trump."

The second one was last night. In my dream the police arrived at my home and were going to escort me to jail to be prosecuted as a traitor, for voting for Trump. 

I am losing sleep over this. I don't really believe they will prosecute, I believe they will send in antifa or blm to do their dirty work. They won't arrest they will destroy.

My First Karen

We lived in West Sacramento when our children were in middle school. We became friends with a neighbor and we'd play cards, BBQ and go out together. Then one day, we were no longer friends. 

I worked in the afternoon and my husband worked in the morning and our schedule overlapped by 1 to 2 hours. So I would leave the children home alone during that time. Remember, they are in middle school, so they are not too young. 

As soon as i left for work, my neighbor started calling the police on my children saying they were harassing her and her children. Now my children are smaller and younger than her children. It was so bad one officer came to my place of employment to tell me leaving them home alone could be considered abandonment and he could remove them if I do it again. 

So one day I got dressed to go to work, snuck my children into the car and drove off like I was going to work. I went to friends homes, changed my clothes, visited with them and asked if they'd be my witness to where my children were that day.

I arrived back home as an officer, THE OFFICER, was leaving my front door. He saw the kids and asked if they had been with me the whole time. I said, "yes." He replied, "then how could they have harassed your neighbor." To which I replied, "I dont know."

She (my Karen) came screaming up saying she was going to kill me and my children. He tackled her and put her in handcuffs. Told me it sounded like a threat to him and did i want to press charges. I did. 

She was charged and had to spend a few days in jail. The whole family moved as soon as she was released.

Vacation 2019

Rob and went on a Caribbean Criuse out of Houston. It was the most relaxing vacation we have ever gone on. We put work away and just relaxed. We had such a good time we want to go on another in a couple years. 

This is the view from breakfast our first morning.

Memories

I was watching a movie called "The Book of Henry." It was sad and took me back to when my daughter was in the hospital. She wasn't even a year old and she was in the hospital with spinal meningitis. When I asked what her chances were, the doctor told she would live or she would die. If she lived she wouldn't be the same.

I went home that evening and prayed. My faith has always helped me through and I expected no less that night. My prayer was simple, let her live. If it is your will that she die, I will accept it, but please, let her live. I don't care what kind of care she will need, I will do it. Just please, let her live.

Two weeks later I brought her home, amazed. My daughter was healthy, happy, and going to ok. She is now 42, has her master's in social work. She has a family of her own and she is ok. She lived.

I thank God every day for this miracle.

Barretts Esophagus with Dysplasia

All my life I have had problems with my stomach. The doctors at one time thought I had an ulcer, but if I did it went away. I have been on one medication after another for heartburn. Finally they decided to scope my stomach and found a spot in my esophagus. They say I have barretts esophagus with dysplasia. It is not cancerous, but precancerous.

In the last few weeks it has been painful to eat. The pain radiates to my back and I have been feeling nauseous when I lay on my side. So I am getting my stomach scoped again to see what is happening inside. The procedure will be on Friday morning. I am a little worried, my Grandfather died of esophageal cancer, and I grew up in the land of fried foods. Which is one of the worst foods for people with stomach issues.

Why you should forgive him.

I read a post from a woman who wrote why she shouldn't forgive him. She was right, she ran after him when he left her and moved in with another woman. He LEFT her, begging him to come back was not the way to repair what was broke in their marriage.

The reason I am writing this is I believe you can forgive him, not for him, but for yourself to move on. My husband cheated and moved out of our home. I told him I wanted to try to work things out. That we needed to go to marriage counselling. I gave him a date to make up his mind so I would know when I could move on. Then I went out, didn't date, but I enjoyed myself. I didn't wait by the phone for him, I lived my life. He chose to come back, he chose to get counselling, he chose to ask me to renew our vows. It took some time, but I was able to trust him again, since I agreed to counselling, I was able to forgive him. But the trust wasn't as easy, but it can be happen.

It has now been 20 years and we are still together. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Mamma Mia

I tried to watch "Mamma Mia" today, but I couldn't get past Merle Streep. Because of her liberal views (that she has right too) that came pouring out during an awards show, I cannot watch it. I realize she has a right to her political views, but what I heard was hate, not politics. Now, knowing she has that much hate towards someone that I voted for and is our president makes me realize that the actors in Hollywood are so full of themselves that we, the public for whom they work, mean nothing.

If wasn't for all of us buying tickets, buying or renting their DVDs, they wouldn't make the kind of money they do.
