I miss Rosebud

Well things since the last post have gone down hill fast!!! Rose is gone, the vet thinks she died of a heat stroke, but I feel differently. Ya see Alex and Ricky were at the house for the past 2 weeks with me and my girls. That I think was our first mistake. Alex and Michelle did not get along, Alex fussed all the time cause Rose barked too much. On July 3, Ricky and I got into a big fight, our relationship ended after I over heard him and Alex talking. On Monday he and Alex was moving out, Rebekah called me to come home, Ricky had tied Rose outside and left her there without water all day, this was around 4pm, she had been out since 8am. I rushed her to the vet where she later died.

So in a short time, I lost the guy that I thought would be a great husband and until his son got here was really good to me and my dog. And I lost my best friend who liked sitting beside me at the table watching me do stuff. I'm going to miss Rose!!!!

Summer break, new puppy and more.....

Meet Fred, he is a 7week bassett hound puppy. He is Michelle's puppy. Our neighbor's bassett's had these puppies and since Michelle spends lots of time over there, her and Fred bonded, and they go everywhere together. Fred is one lazy puppy, as you can see from his picture, he fell alseep chewing a stick and where ever you put him, he stays.

In a couple of weeks Michelle will be off to Volleyball camp, but Fred wont be alone, Alex will be there to watch him.

Who is Alex? Alex is Ricky's son, Ricky and I are getting married in September and Alex is coming down to spend the summer with us. He will be staying with me and my girls, since Ricky works and goes to school. (Ricky leaves a 8am and gets home at 11pm). Yeah a long day. It's a good thing Ricky took today off, he is at my house doing some much needed repairs.

Well I soon will have my new house soon. I got my downpayment, got my land, now got to finish picking out the colors. Gee I hate doing that, I'm always nervous the colors wont match up. Oh well, maybe I'll tell them to do everything white and I will paint it when it gets here. I'm getting a new doublewide.

DIABETES SUCKS!!!!!

I think it has been almost a month since I have posted. But if I thought March was busy, wait until you hear about April.

About the time I did my last post, something happened, I got really sick, I was so tired I couldn't get up, I was dizzy, I was drinking atleast 3 bottles of water an hour, I was so thirsty I couldn't get enough. I got to the point I couldn't think. Next thing I know, Im OUT!!!!!! What happened???? Well my blood sugar level shot up above 450!!!!! Normal for me should be 100 to 150. I had lots of test ran and then was told, DIABETES!!!!! Thanks alot!!!!!

A couple days later, I couldn't see anything, it was like I was stuck in a fog, I couldn't read, I couldn't hardley see to get around the house without getting dizzy, and worst off, I couldn't drive. I had to have someone drive me, at work all I could do was answer phones and take messages with a bold point sharpie on a legal pad, then maybe I could read it.

Now a month later, things have come back to normal, well some things, my doctor has put me on a very strict diet, I eat all veggies, a few eggs here and there, water, and sugar free every and anything. I have lost alot of weight, that is the best part about all of this. I have lost 20 pounds this month!!!!!!!! I'm just taken in my dresses until I can afford to buy new ones. OH did I forget to tell you, I have no health insurance either, thanks to my ex-husband!!!!

Well my doctor is a real gem, he is given me sample medications until I can get on something I can afford. So besides getting stuck several times a day, Life is Good!!!!

It's been a Busy March

WOW its been a busy March!!! I can't seem to find much time for me, but don't worry, even though I've been busy, I have had a great time. Several family cookouts, (I love going to these), helping my ex mom in law since her accident, (got her quilt top finished ain't put it all together yet), DD had her 12th birthday (her dad forgot it), work has been crazy!!! and the best part in all of this I found a great guy (lets see how that works out). And looking for a new home, that has been exciting!!! This is what I have found I like so far,

My March box from my BIG SIS

I have a great BSS!!!! Thanks for making me feel special!!!

My Quilting Beagle

Many of the ladies on the HGTV Quilting BB has shown pictures of their "sewing buddies", well here is mine. I have a Quilting Beagle named Rosebud, this pic was taken last year when I was putting together my Sunbonnet sue , Rosebud sat in the chair (as seen here) watching everything I did. Later that week she ran off with my rotary cutter and I had to buy a new one, she hid it somewhere, but later we found it in the couch. Now I have moved my sewing table and she can no longer sit and watch me, so when I get out of my chair, she will hop up in it and look at what I am doing. I have promissed her I would make her a pillow, but haven't yet. Guess she is looking for it!!!

Frog time

As I stated in another post, my kids grandma was in an accident. DD wanted a frog quilt for her. So off to jo-annes and walmart I went, (we still have a walmart that has fabric!!!) I got frog fabric and some cute easter/spring fabric too. So I'm posting pictures of my progress,
