Truth be told...

Believe it or not there are actually people who have asked why I have not been blogging. let me give you the most honest answers I can without sounding too emotional or angry.

My blog was meant to inspire, not hurt people, it was meant to let you know that I have a heart, I am human, and I have faults.

In that short time of 130 days give or take a few since Feb 22nd when I started my blog, I have had people stop talking to me, I have had people cry with me over my blog, I have had my kids say "please dont tell people EVERYTHING"  which, trust me, I DONT or else Dr. Phil would be begging me for a show for his ratings, as of now, he ony had his producers call me once.

Last week some nut case (obviously someone very jealous) has caused me to become  cautious and a bit more private.

I enjoyed sharing  things, happy, sad and real.

I am not going to end my blogging by any stretch, if anything I will use it for my own mental health.

Since my lastest blog I have spent some time with my dear friend jess who I met through special olympics, I have found such a caring soul in Jess, I love her strength and courage.

I am getting ready for some well deserved time time away. Its the BEACH BLAST  Soccer tournament in WildwoodNJ. My son and step-son are on different teams, I love watching them play soccer, every year it gets a bit more physical, and the boys have all grown into some pretty neat young men.
My son has been going through some changes of his  own lately and I am VERY very proud of him.  Working everyday in the summer for 8 hours, going through his own struggles, he has moved forward and I hope he continues this marathon and puts the sprinters shoes away, it really doesnt matter when he crosses the finish line, it just matters he gets there..
Katie is researching some tattoo art. She is a very art oriendted person, her nose is  pierced , she lovesher music, her concerts, her friends....there is NOTHING wrong with that.

In closing, I am going up a little mountain, nothing that I cant climb, Im just asking for a few prayers...I am hoping for some good news soon, I dont want to get into it right now. Im not afraid, I know I have guidance and I trust in the Lord.

My husband tells me he reads my blogs, Baby,you have given the world, you light up my everyday and my smile is REAL, and genuine, you have made my every dream come true. I love you.

I am so very much in need of just "getting away"

To be continued.....

The day Before

Tomorrow is SUMMER 2011

How many of you have summer plans you are willing to share? I would LOVE to hear about your trips, your events, your parties. I'm super excited. This weekend its off to Wildwood NJ. Its so bittersweet. The very last Soccer beach blast my son and step-son will be involved with. For 4 days the other soccer moms relax, laugh, catch up on where the years went....etc..

I will spending the day in Hershey tomorrow  with my super great friend Jess who I met through Special Olympics this year. We are going to watch plenty of shows, eat kit kats, and visit the animals in the zoo :)

Also have that trip to Florida planned in July and in August the hubby and I get away for a few days ALONE. Im not telling ANYWHERE where we will be, so it might even be in my wreckroom with the blinds closed and a full cooler of refreshments. Either way it will be ALONE and QUIET.

So plenty of time away from work, which I think is well deserved. 

Let me know all about your plans......I love new ideas!

I also have another special birthday in the Family my little guy who is 6'2 turns 17 July 1.....I dont care, he is still the "baby" my little guy, E, "buddy"  Eric the red. The most important man in the world. My husband and my dad are a close second place.

Last weekend before Summer

Another weekend here....and gone.
The weather held out for a beautiful graduation party for Katie, I look at her and still can't get over the fact that all of those years have passed me by.
I saw my dad yesterday and I asked him what he wanted to do today. (Because last year I took him Kayaking) He said, " I want to relax."  Since I was with him on Saturday and truly believe everyday is Fathers Day I was ok with that.
I know alot of wonderful dads. I salute all of them. Step-Dads I commend you for the part that you have taken.
Today I spent relaxing and cleaning up the "after party!"
Tomorrow, Monday....a 3 day work week. Tuesday its off To Herseypark with my buddy Jess, and my daughter and her friend. FRIDAY...off to BEACH BLAST in Wildwood for the Final soccer beach blast our sons will be playing in.

Alot of emotions riding high with these kids growing up so quickly.

have a great week.

I got this!

Up at 4:30...off to work, then to Lowes, Sams club, the bank, the liquer store, Weis Markets, home to eat lunch, unload groceries.

Take a shower, off to Sunshine Wellness where TEAM TWO MORE wins the challenge. It was so great, Some of the best people I have ever met go there, I would not want to be anywhere else in this world.
I skipped out around 9, home to make pasta salad, a ham ball, cucumber salad, bar-b-que, and do some dishes for katies Graduation party is tomorrow.

I don't have another ounce of energy to type! I work tomorrow at Cabelas with Koby, Smokin Koby! Its a weekend of entertainment, food and a contest plus a live remote broadcast from 10am -12 noon.

Did I mention the afternoon cup of coffee helped ALOT?

a new style

I am sitting Indian style on  my 18 year old daughters bed in her lime green room blogging from her laptop since mine needs a new battery. Maybe I will wait a few weeks until I feel like making a purchase.

I am extremly happy that these two days are OVER. I made a comment today that I would rather be pregnant than go through PMS, Seriously. I know they make medicine for people like me, however I will pass. Alot gets under my skin, I get very very very emotional. I was chatting with a few friends who are going through menopause already. It sounds like PURE hell. The joys of being a woman.

I did workout today. I did get to talk to my mom today. One of my best friends Becky is away, My friend Jen and I keep missing one another for lunch and I am very grateful for my pedicure tonight at Salon Lora. She is so awesome. My feet are happy :)

I am trying really hard to take lessons from my husband in "letting go" "cutting the ties" and letting my kids become who they want. Its not easy. Its going to be a struggle. I have to start being more demanding. Asking them to do some chores. They arent spoiled, they are just loved, I have to make some changes and they arent going to be easy.

As Lora said tonight, this is why we have faith, lora, thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. thank you for being a friend.

Bark at the MOON!

I didn't get to blog last night, it was an insane kind of day. Complete with some jerk who knew a little too much about me on facebook, and then suddenly deleted their entire profile. It could have been anyone. But, it was someone who knew alot about me.....things I do NOT talk about on my blog or facebook.  Today is a new day.

I am struggling with "letting go" of my kids right  now. I'm being accused of being controlling, that was  the environment I grew up with, maybe that's why. This Teenage thing is taking its toll. BIG TIME.
I need to give my kids air to breathe. I get that, but the world is a scary place, we try and shield them from all the scum and dirt, and when things go wrong I blame myself. Either way, I have to learn to move my energy around and relax a little. I am so high strung.

Constant prayer is what is going to help me. That and good glass of scotch, or bourbon, or a Yuengling Lager.

Full Moon, thank you for being beautiful, but for Heavens sake....stop making my energy source get off whack.

Friends, thanks for your posts...I truly do see facebook fizzling by the years end for me.

Have a great day.  2 blogs for me today!! My battery died in our laptop last night.

The Night Before

I warned you on Sunday this is Doctor week for me, Tomorrow is the worst...my WORST fear, I fear this Doctor more than a colonoscopy in 8 more years.

I have a stupid dentist appointment. Now Understand this is just a cleaning and check-up, the thing is, I DON'T like when I am poked in my mouth, my gums or my oh so sensitive teeth.  You see when I was younger my parents took me to a dentist, you know the one.....the one that has been the family friend, lives a few blocks away,and goes to the same church. The one that refuses to give any Novocaine. That's right, I can close my eyes, say DRILL and feel it.

When I moved out of Pottsville away from Dr. Fellows...I found a nice dentist. And then my root canals began. It was then I realized  perhaps it just wasn't Dr Fellows. It is ANY Dentist. After 2 root canals that had gone bad and had to have them re-done again by an oral surgeon, I then had a cavity on my FRONT tooth which had to DRILLED , with a white filling of course. As years went by it started bothering  me and I wanted veneers....they had to SAW them down to the ROOT, I could feel the air hit them and I screamed. really, I did.

Currently I have a crack in the back of one of my veneers. I don't want anyone touching them, cleaning them, jabbing at them. I suppose the alternative is false teeth, I cant have that.

I love my smile. However when its time to sit in the lovey Dr Gurskis chair tomorrow I will get sick, have to go the bathroom, begin sweating and move around in the chair like a five year old.

Honestly giving birth was less stressful and easier on me.

I'm going to brush my pearly whites stained with thousands of cups of coffee.

Fingerprints

Today was a excellent day....I went to work, did my "thing" went for my annual mammogram...( keeping my fingers crossed) all you need is one abnormal mammogram in your life and it makes you shakey everytime you go again. Last time it was just a biopsy and "in and out" Thank -God.

Speaking of God, I dont ever push the big man on anyone, but there are times I feel the need to share in some pretty neat stories. When I got home today I realized it was the perfect weather for a run, while I was running I started to think about a bike ride too...and then I started to look around me and that  is when I feel it...I feel the grace of God almost all the time, today I happened to check out my I-heart radio on blackberry and I hit scan...a song from George Straight came on, (I am not a fan of Country music) however as I saw a red-tailed hawk on the trail, I listened to the words in this song that captured every little thing I was feeling, the song was called God is Everywhere. And the line "his fingerprints are everywhere" stuck with me. What a glorious feeling and beautiful day.

I trimmed down my rose bushes, and had a quick sandwich, for now its off to my sons summer league in Oley. His final year playing with these guys, Eric is keeping busy playing on a summer basketball league too. I am counting my blessings today and looking at everyone of God's fingerprints.

BROWN OUT

I truly apologize for the non-blogging Saturday. By the Time I got home from my dear Friend Maria's house yesterday who lives on Beacon Hill.....I could tell something was eerie. Very eerie, to my surprise I drove into the Muhlenberg area and all the street lights were out. It was completely dark and looked scary. I knew my husband wasn't due home for another 2 hours, but our big watch dogs will eat someone if they even walk by the house. So.....needless to say, I was still scared to go in my house, I lit some candles, called the neighbors..just like I was a 10 year old home alone for the first time. And I was told it was a BROWN out, the lights were dim, not completely out, but I was told its not good to keep power on in those situations. So, I learned a new phrase BROWN OUT, all of sudden the lights get dimmer and dimmer and finally BAM,,,they are OUT.

By the time lovey returned home, all was normal. Go figure. he set the microwave, clocks, air conditioning and boiler back to good.


It was really a nice weekend, alot of bonding time, went to church, out to eat, food shopped...our bill is so insane for a family of 7, I seriously have to tell you...Its THREE DIGITS beginning with the number THREE. Let me say, next year I am planting a garden, buying a cow, a goat a few hens and they can shop for themselves outside.

We went for an enjoyable bike ride, and now I'm watching some basketball.

This week is Dr Appointment week, I get the girls checked tomorrow, save the ta-ta;s and save a friend.

Its back to Sunshine wellness.....doesn't matter if the challenge is over, obviously mine is just beginning and I am WINNING!!!

Here's to a great week,
enjoy and be safe.

7-10-11 END OF THE CHALLENGE

Well now aside from the heat, Graduation, Weiners being texted,  NBA, and Hockey....what else do we have to remember this week by?

Well, lets see. I still have my job, my house, my health, my family. It's all good, I am NOT big on change at ALL. So here is the thing. The Ultimate Spring Challenge has come to close. Those 8 weeks or so....were difficult...it wasn't about wings and beer, rather, which class will I take, how many push ups can I do? And what will the final end result be.

Today was weigh in and measurements...Son of a B*$@h  I lose 3 pounds. THREE POUNDS....next measurements............................... I LOST .....9 1/2 inches...DIG IT. NINE AND A HALF INCHES. I like that. I am so not happy with the way my body tortures me, no....I'm not fat, I just have to become a little more secure. I am shaped like a PEAR. I suppose its better than a banana or eggplant. So I was feeling so cocky I went bathing suit shopping...Why is it genetics play such an important role in a woman over the age of 40? WHY? This is how I feel....... I feel SOLID, its no better way to explain it. SOLID. I feel like if I were to kick someone in the face it would flip them upside down, I'm serious, I can do 400 squats on any given day. I am strong, My endurance is like its never been, and my appetite is HUGE. I just cant count calories. I am not OCD, I am ADD. I like to know I eat healthy.

So will I stop working out? Yea right. Its my medicine. Will I stop eating? No! Does my husband love my body? absolutely. So I am now going on a date... To EAT. I will not be watching what I eat tonight , or tomorrow. But Sunday, my own challenge is back on, maybe a goal of a few more inches lost.

Have a great weekend. Keep those graduates in your prayers always.

A special hello to an old and very good friend who I lost touch with Brandie Meng. 4 beautiful Children later and a wonderful husband, and a job where I got MY start. I have always admired and respected your work ethic.   We have so much catching up my friend. It was great seeing you today.

Im starving....

Here is hoping everyone has a great weekend as we approach some cooler weather.

Just like that...its over

I took off  today for a good reason...to page through all 18 years of my daughters life and wonder how it went so fast!  Only to remember Eric graduates next year.....

Graduation is here and gone. It was perfect. It was nice to be with my husband, my son, my parents, my x-husband, and my x-inlaws. It was nice to maintain adult actions throughout the evening and be so civil to one another. Actually it was great. It was for Katie, it was her night. I pray in the future things can remain just like that.

I looked at photos of katies first day of school and put it next to her senior picture. Such torture. I cleaned a little, I worried alot, I cried a bit, and at the end of my afternoon I went for my workout at Sunshine wellness.

Next its onto Summer vactions....I need one. Eric Started his full time job today...actually his first job ever.....in 100 degree weather outside. WHEW! and no complaints, he came home and played basketball!!! Oh, to be young again.

Im looking forward to the weekend, I have a lovey date night planned for tomorrow with Lovey :) see how exciting!? And we are EXACTLY ONE MONTH AWAY FROM OUR ONE YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!  The love of my life, the man of my dreams! baby I love you.

Class of 2011

http://youtu.be/sTJ7AzBIJoI

I am blogging ultra early today. My daughter Katie will be graduating  this evening, next year my son graduates. To them this is the end of high school, not quite understanding it will be the beginning of their future.
I played a song this morning called Everybody's free to wear sunscreen from 1999.

The lyrics to this song are so very powerful, you may or may not have time to read all of it, but every single sentence, every word...makes so much sense. It could be a little manual of life for your Graduate.

It's emotional. To all Graduates of 2011. My best wishes for a bright future. Congrats.



Lyrics to Everybody's free to wear Sunscreen.


If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you
imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours. Floss Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with
yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body,
use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own.. Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out. Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth. But trust me on the sunscreen…

Emotional Rescue

What I am about to type is either going to flow freely or I will be that choked up I will have to stop a few times.

Graduation time has come upon us and for anyone who has ever had their child graduate or who will in the near future then I know we have such a common bond.

None of this hit me until 6:30am this morning when I was on the air, all of a sudden when Katie text me, I realized it was her last full day of high school...Thank God for such an awesome co-worker as Scott who helped me turn my tears into laughter. He's good like that. We are such a great balance together.

I am writing this freely for Katie my Graduate of 2011


We wonder how long til her first step
When will she say  "Mommy"
Will her hair be curly?
how about a lefty like me?

I cant wait til she starts school
Does she like to read or draw                                                
Perhaps she will sing or dance
Play the piano, study law?

The dreams we have as parents
its like molding the perfect creature
UNTIL they know it ALL...... Everything
They believe THEY are the teacher.

I can't wait until she gets her liscence
running here, going there, she has no clue
I would make time stand still right now
for the driving age to be 22.

I cannot wait until she graduates and moves on
Did I ever say that? I honestly didn't mean it
I meant I want every little thing to be right
and her magical beautiful glass slipper to fit.

As you enter the real world,
you will see real and fake
there is selfish and giving
the Journey is that of what you make

I cannot wait to see you succeed in life
to calm the storms, to cool the heat,
you have the treasured worldly tools
standing oh so strong on your feet

My love for life I give to you
its abundant, Forever and free
take it where ever you go with you smile
someday you will understand me.

Your smile lights up my everyday
You are a mighty strong young lady.
I am so proud of  what you have become
best of everything to you my Katie.

Good night everyone

Excellent day

I made a promise and I kept it. today was MY day of doing nothing....except food shopping, cooking and cleaning two bathrooms. It had to be done.

the day started by CRAWLING out of bed. My knees were a bit creeky from yesterdays bike ride, but my knees  carried me to the shower and off to church where Katie got herself a nice scholarship from Rosedale UCC. That will go straight towards her books! This week is go to be exciting, emotional and above all very happy. My baby. All grown up into a young lady. How can I possibly have a child graduating? I suppose its better than being in my 70's when she graduates!

After church we went to lunch, and then I came home to walk the dogs , the World War 2 air show continued so I could see them on our walk path near River Road and Bo took a dip to cool off.. Then to food shop, do you know WHY I actually LOVED food shopping today? Because of al the FRESH FRUITS and veggies. Tomorrow its fruit salad making day. YUM

Have a great week my friends. Be safe

Life is Good

A special THANK YOU to all the folks who were a part of today from Sunshine Wellness! And......to my great friends at SPOKES BIKE SHOP!!!!  hugs all around.


I can't say much more than today was perfect. A perfect group with one thing in common, loving building up a little sweat, racking up some mileage on your legs and your bike, enjoying the beauty of the outdoors, the sun, the trees, the water, the life of this earth. Yes, even in Philadelphia where there are every kind of people everywhere. 50 miles is here and gone.

The group was from Sunshine Wellness Resources, as you all know this is where I love to be mostly every weekday, its part of my day, and this is how I know every person I went with today.

Kristen Fell, David almost ran over a rabbit and a  rabid raccoon, I was swarmed with a group of young men from Italy who were riding getting ready for a National race in Philly tomorrow, they came up behind me so soft and quiet, and of course I yelled, "you could have given me warning!"  His response, "you handled it magnificently!"

We drove to Valley Forge, went to Conshahocken and off to Philly. Then back. I would do again in a heart beat, of course we are talking about  horseback riding, a big hike, and maybe even a weekend at the beach, IF Michelle decides to invite any of us.

Life is what you make it, Im not going to turn these great opportunities in life away, not when it deals with my health, being surrounded with some of the best people I ever met, and thinking about my next adventure.

Have a great weekend!!!!

World War ll Update

If you have the chance this weekend GO! It was such a great time.  There were representatives from all branches of the armed services. Old and young. Female and male.  We saw reenactments.  There were people dressed in uniforms from different countries such as Germany, Russia, Canada, Great Britain...they had little villages. There were men and women in tents, showers made out of olive drab colored canvas with three gallon blister bags filled with cold water to soldiers to shower with. And  yes, there was a man taking a shower!

Airplane rides, Cargo planes, fighter planes, passenger planes...Tanks, jeeps, troop carriers. You could see how they would wash their dishes. There was a man from the infantry giving grenade throwing demonstrations. All of them willing to answer your questions and quick to give you plenty of information.  The American Flags waving all around you.

The music from the Andrew Sisters and the big sound of swing brought the dancers dressed from the 40's. I wanted to get up and learn the jitterbug, but watching and taking pictures was very cool.

My husband is a proud Veteran of The US ARMY, as is my dad, my brother and my nephew.
It's really a neat thing to see, to watch to try and put yourself in the era.

I suggest going in the early evening.
After 5:30 the tickets were only 10 bucks, during the day 22.00 
Its worth it. Every penny.

All weekend at Reading Airport. I loved it.

Bad habits

What's going on Friends? I took today off from working out. I was "spent" for real!

Started out at the Reading Phillies for the morning game and we broadcast live from First energy Stadium, Reading is very lucky to have such a cool ballpark topped with endless entertainment.

Speaking of ENTERTAINMENT

By mid-morning I could not take another person spitting while they talked to me, seriously, do you know people like this? "spitters. Or what about the people who have "stuff" around the corners of their mouth, and I have no idea what it is...it's "stuff" and it makes me ill.  We forever have the "crackers" you know people who half their cracks out for the world to see, and then there are the folks who have HUGE bellies and shirts not big enough to cover them. Come on now. It was truly a morning where I needed to have my usual 2 cups of coffee with cream, a banana and some oatmeal with fruit. Instead I ended up with a bagel, OJ, bacon, and scrambled eggs.

My worst habit is nail biting, I dont like close talkers, spitters, or crackers. 

Tell me what is the bad habit that drives YOU crazy in others?

The Sun Shine :)

So many of you hear me talk about Sunshine Wellness Resources.  It's where I get my energy, I have no other answer. Today was another great ride...the second 90 minute non-stop spin class burning over 1000 calories.. Since when did I think I would ever hear anyone say, "maybe you're not eating enough" I love that.

The thing is, the more I work out, the less I want to put that crap in my body. Don't get me wrong, I like to have cold beers occasionally and eat my weakness OREOS and WINGS. I like cheese too. And Pasta, I can go on forever.

Today there were 10 lovely ladies and our fearless leader David, a 90 minute spin class....climbs, sprints, you name it we did it, and we burned over 1000 calories....( 20 Oreo cookies)

The awesome thing.....we motivate one another...you can work out by yourself....OR meet some incredible ladies and men who WANT to make a difference in their health and their journey in life.
Whatever the reason, we were there today for each other....love all of you ladies and so very glad Sunshine is cool even on a 95 degree day !
