Mood:  lazy

^{_{I tell you what, it was one of those lazy kind of days today for sure. It even effected Jayden, she got here this morning at 7am wide awake, we talked and sang until about 8:15 or so, then the next thing I knew she was out like a light.  So I sat there with her laying across my lap while I rocked and looked down on her sweet little face and Thanked God for this wonderful blessing he bestowed upon us. As the morning drifted by I soon realized it was 12:30pm and I hadn't taken my eyes off Jayden and she hadn't awoken.  Well I knew her diaper was more than likely filled to the brim, because I hadn't changed it since we kicked back.  So, I layed her in her bassinet, took her little pants down and my oh my was her diaper swollen....hahahaha. When I started to take her little diaper off she got the biggest grin on her face as if to say...."It's about time Yetta".......hahahahaha.  Then she ate her lunch (a bottle), burbed a good one, threw up, and out she went again.  She didn't wake up again until 4:00pm, burbed, got her diaper changed and her shirt (because she sweats when she sleeps), and we got to play about 45 minutes before her daddy picked her up.  And all that excitement must have been way too much for me because after she left I got into my bed and began to check my email and next thing I knew it was 8:00pm.......say what??  That's right, I fell plumb out for absouletly no reason whatsoever!!  And to be totally honest, I can't wait to go back to sleep, so this will be a short little post tonight...hahahaha.  Hope ya don't mind.}}

^{_{In case you haven't noticed I have changed the name of my site from Daily Living with RSD to A Winning Life with RSD, the link will be working within 24-72 hours, but in the meantime the other one should work....*crossing fingers*.  Guess I will know if I don't hear from anybody....hahahaha.}}

^{_{You all have an amazing evening and I will talk with you tomorrow!!}}

^{_{Love, Peace & Blessings!!}}

^{_{I can't believe I didn't tell you all about my glorious time with Cheyenne Friday night.  She is such a big girl for only being 3 years old....hard to believe she is that old really.  But anyway, this is how our night played out:}}

^{_{She got here about 6pm and the first thing she wanted to do was play tea party with her Barbie kitchen.  She we brought it in the living room and we played tea party / bar-b-que....don't ya know those two go together....ahahahaha.  Then she decided she wanted to do my hair, so we played beauty shop, now this meant she was going to be putting all sorts of things in my hair and I had to let her because she was the beautician....so I started off with just some simple brushing of the hair then she thought I needed some lotion in it....yes I said lotion....so she put a little bit of lotion in it, then she thought it needed just a bit more...well when it was all said and done I think there was at least half the bottle on my head....hahahahaha.  But that's ok, it will help with any dandruff I might of had..hhaha.  After beauty shop we played school, she is in daycare and is very eager to learn so much, so we did numbers and letters but what is so funny is she can't seem to be able to decide which hand she writes with because she will start off using her left hand and when it gets tired she will switch to her right hand....oh and in between the tea party and beauty shop we called my mother in law in the hospital so Cheyenne could talk to her...and we made plans for us to go up and see my mother in law on Saturday morning......... ok so anyway....after we played school it was time to quiet down, so she took a bath and then we both got in my bed, kicked back with a couple story books, and yes, one of them was "Small One" she so loves that book, almost as much as I do....so after I read her a couple stories it was lights out.  We were laying here and all of a sudden she sits up, looks at me and says, "Yetta"  and I said "Yes ma'am" she said, "Am I still your sunshine?".......aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww  my heart broke.... I said, "Of course you are my sunshine, you will always be Yetta's sunshine!" and then her little head fell into my chest and her arms went around my shoulders and she hugged me and said, "I love you Yetta".....boo hoooooo oh I was so tearing up....and I said, "I love you too Cheyenne, forever and ever!!".  Then we drift off to sleep. Saturday morning we were up early, like 7am and she ate cereal with orange juice, took her vitamins and was ready to get all dressed up for our visit to the hospital.  I wet her hair and put curlers in, you know, those twisty curlers, I washed my hair.....AGAIN!! She helped put make-up on me and I put make-up on her (make believe of course) then she begged me to take the curlers out of her hair, I kept telling her it wasn't time yet, but she wanted them out....so I took them out only to see her hair all ucky so I told her we would have to go to use the curling iron....to which she said...."Oh that's ok, lets go"....now here's the funny part....we get her hair all curled and fixed so cute, get her outfit on her, purple of course...hahhaha, then she needed a purse, so I gave her a purse but it had nothing it in, so I gave her a few things including my cell phone....she threw that purse up on her shoulder, walked into my dressing room, stood in front of the full length mirror and said, " BE_U_TI_FUL"  I tell ya, I bout wet myself on that one.  She was easier to take to the hospital than Jayden was.....she can walk...hahahahahaa.}}

^{_{Well I think I will close this for tonight and kick back....Golden Girls are on....Love that show...hahahaha.}}

^{_{Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!}}

^{_{Love, Peace & Blessings!!}}

^{_{First of all, it is true that there is no satisfactory treatment for RSD. The more severe the pain, the less satisfactory the treatment. Is ANY treatment worth taking then, or should you just let the whole thing drop rather than get your hopes up where they will be dashed ONCE AGAIN. You are already crushed by the weight of the pain, and even reading the tales of others feels like a heavy weight. If you have lost your identity, you may feel there is no point in wandering around since you are not going to find yourself.}}

Mood:  surprised

^{_{I am posting this early tonight because when Josh picked up Jayden he asked if I would babysit his other daughter Cheyenne.....well of course I couldn't say no because I don't get to see her very often because she is in daycare / pre-K all week and I usually don't see any of them on the weekends unless there is a family thing going on.  Now, I don't know what Jonathan will say because he knows I am dying on a vine here because of fussing with the stroller yesterday and all the activity that went on and I won't take pain meds while I have Jayden.  He called me earlier today to see if my new med is ready for pick up (more about that in a few), and asked how I was doing....so when I told him that I was doing alright but I sure was looking forward to 5:00pm to roll around so I could have a pain med he said, "I know, I can tell in your voice you are about to cry....well once Josh picks her up you take your pain pill and kick back and don't worry about anything, I will take care of it when I get home".  aaaaaaaawwwwwwww  how sweet is he??   But that's ok, I can suck it up a little while longer until Cheyenne goes to sleep to take that med.}}

^{_{Ok, about my new med.....When I had my bone scan and bloodwork I finally got the full results of them....seems as though I have full body Osteoporosis (duh...hahaha) with High Risk of Fracture's (didn't know that) so he is putting me on Actenol once a week.  Anybody else taking that?  If not, what are you taking? and How is that working for you?  Then there is my bloodwork....everything was normal except my Liver enzymes are a little high so I get to go through that whole ordeal again in 3 months....man I can hardly wait for that one let me tell ya!!}}

^{_{Well, I guess I will close this for now, might put more later after Cheyenne goes to sleep.....maybe....I might not though....hahahahahaa
But I wish you all an amazing Friday night and I look forward to your feedback on what you are taking for your bones.}}

^{_{Love, Peace & Blessings!}}

^{_{Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for Jesus!   Thank You for our children.  
May we raise them in such a way that You will be well pleased.
We love and honor You.
In Jesus' name.    Amen}}

^{_{I feel so badly that I haven't posted on here since the day after Christmas....my oh my how time does fly!!  But I am back now....hahahahaha, oh can ya stand it??}}

^{_{Well, let's see, I guess I need to get you all up to speed huh??  Of course Christmas was so wonderful and amazing, as it is every year because we are all together which is always entertaining to say the least.  Just watching the kids do crazy things is all it takes....hahahaha.}}

^{_{Then the weekend afterwards we had my parents here for their Christmas and my mom's birthday, she's a New Year baby!!  We had an amazing weekend with them, they are so funny.}}

^{_{Then, my mother in law had hip replacement surgery on the 2nd of January and is still in the hospital. So I took Jayden up there today to see her for a little while and she got the biggest kick out of me and her singing together....it is quite cute!!  But I tell you what, these new fangled car seat / stroller thingys are enough to give anyone gray hair in a hurry for sure!!  I so looked like a fool in the hospital parking lot today....my my my....Here I was with this silly stroller thingy I had never used before trying to unfold it, Jayden in the carseat still in the car with the door open and the wind blowing so hard and my hair was all in my face so I couldn't see the stupid thing.....finally I find the directions....and it took me a good 10 minutes to do that...so I "finally" get the stroller open so now I can get Jayden out of the car....so I cover her up so the wind wouldn't give her little cheeks wind burn and try....yes try to put this car seat into this stroller.....now I tell ya.....they need to put these directions all in one place and bigger for us old people who aren't wearing glasses yet but after this think maybe they should be...hahaha....I put Jayden back in the car so I can find the directions and figure out how it all clicks together.  Again, "finally" I found it and clicked the carseat in there and thought we were golden, BUT now I needed to get those overhead umbrella dillies from the carseat and the stroller to cover her completely so the wind wouldn't get to her. I'm telling ya people....I was in this parking lot for a good 15 minutes doing all this and the whole time I was thinking 2 things....1). So much for fixing my hair  and   2). I hope I can walk fast enough to make it to the 6th floor so I go use her bathroom!! hahahahaha.  Finally I get it all fixed up, lock up my car and off we go.  Now this stroller has power steering and the wind isn't blowing in the direction in which I need to go so I had to fight it all the way from the middle of this HUGE hospital parking lot to the door into the hospital (and then some).  Get inside and there is a guy trying to vaccum the floor where all these leaves have blown in to no avail because they just keep blowing in....losing battle there!!  Anyway, I get inside and try to undo some of these umbrella thingys and obviously looking flustered because the lady at the coffee stand for Starbucks asked me if I was needing a double esspresso....I so gave her the thumbs up on that one and told her to add some caramel to it and make it a jumbo.hahahaha.  We finally get up to the 6th floor and find the room, we go in and have a good time while we are there because we got to show everyone how well we sing together and how Jayden's little face lights up while we are doing it.  We stayed about an hour and started this whole stroller / carseat drama over again, but this time with a twist.....My father in law and a family friend decided they were going to leave at the same time as we were and would walk us to my car and would put this stroller back in my car for me.....I tell you what!!  I have not laughed so hard in such a long long time.  Here were these 2 grown men standing in the middle of the parking lot arguing with not only this stroller but each other as to how to get it folded back down.  hahahahahaah.  I'm am standing there beside the car looking at them and thinking...."I wonder if the hospital has a camera on their parking area because both my ordeal and this one would be awesome on youtube or funniest videos, at the very least I know the security guards are having a rip roaring good time watching all this". hahahahaha.  They finally got it folded up and told me to get a real stroller...hahahaha. So Jayden and I came back home, stroller stayed in the car and when we came in the house she looked at me, rubbed one eye and out she went.  Like she was worn out from watching all the fuss we all had with her stuff. hahahahaha.}}

^{_{So after I finish this up and I have a group call with my team and then I will be out like a light myself!!}}

^{_{I hope you have an amazing evening and I will talk with you tomorrow.}}

^{_{Love, Peace & Blessings.}}

^{_{There are a couple of things I want to say about the title I used for this post...."I Can Only Imagine"  and I'm not referring to the song, although I love that song.  I am actually referring to something I seen on the news tonight. They were talking about all the donations that were collected for the needy, well it showed all these little kids just sooooo happy to be getting something for Christmas and I sat here and thought to myself....What did I do for them this year? Nothing!!  Usually I donate clothes, toys, food, furniture all during the year to Salvation Army....I refuse to go to Goodwill anymore, because they are "For Profit" where the Salvation Army are still "Non-Profit" and that means a great deal when they start to divie out the money, for Goodwill not much goes to actually help the people once all the workers are paid from the sales of goods....not a good will!!!!  Salvation Army on the other hand, once they bring in any funds ALL that money goes to help the people because they are paid by the government and donations, so next time you donate something....or want to shop for items, which I do often, remember to go to the Salvation Army, not the Goodwill, ok......anyway, this year I have not done anything at all and it really made me sad, so starting in January I am going to do something every month, because "I Can Only Imagine" what it would be like if I were in that situation and needed help from those who have more than I.......I would be sooooooooooo grateful for any help I could get!!!!  Which led me to ponder ones imagination.}}

^{_{Your imagination cannot instantly change things in the physical world around you, yet it can do something even more powerful....It can change you....your attitude, your energy level, your focus and the way you feel.  If you imagine that you're feeling tired, weary, heavy and drained, you'll soon start to feel exactly that way....If you imagine that you're feeling enthusiastic, energetic, joyful and confident, you'll quickly start to truly feel all those positive things.  It would be a mistake to live your whole life only in your imagination....it would also be a mistake to go through each day without connecting to your imagination at all.  There is no limit to what you can imagine.  When you nurture your imagination, it can help you discover very real and workable ways to move forward in a world filled with challenges and constraints.}}

^{_{Once you imagine something....you make it possible for you.  And your imagination then goes to work, helping you find ways to make it real.}}

^{_{When it seems that circumstances and events have you locked in place, set your imagination free to roam where it will.  Imagine it, and you'll start a positive momentum that can take you far.}}

^{_{Now that is said, I think I will close this post for the night so I can kick back and weewax!!  Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and are making your list for things you want to change in 2008...I know I am!!}}

^{_{I will talk with you all tomorrow night...I am really tired, so I will leave you with these simple but true words:}}

^{_{"God has put something noble and good into every heart His hand created"   Mark Twain  (I just love reading his work)}}

^{_{Love, Peace & Blessings to you ALL}}

^{Can you believe it??  Another year is about over!!  Tomorrow is going to be such an awesome day, I am so looking forward to the big gathering with the whole family and seeing the grandkids opening all their gifts then running around after each other wanting to play with the others toys....hahahaha kids are great aren't they?  Now that they are a little older now I can read them the story called "Small One" and they will understand it.  It is such a great book regardless of how old you are.  If you haven't ever read it, I highly recommend you get it.....it will soon become one of those traditional things to do with your family as well.} 

^{Today I was pretty busy, I washed some laundry, then I sat on the floor with KeeKee and spent about 2 hours brushing her out and trimming up her hair so she would look all cute for tomorrow. And that took a tole out of me for sure, I seriously didn't think I was going to be able to get back up from the floor, then when I did I wasn't sure I would be able to walk.  I was walking but I'm sure it looked like I had a pogo stick stuck up my butt and my feet were barely touching the floor, but it was more than enough touch for me....if ya know what I mean....hahahaha!!  But after about 20 or so steps I was at least putting more of my feet on the floor but my butt was still pretty much up in the air....hahahaha.   After about 10 minutes of recoop time guess what I did next......I sat back down on the floor and wrapped a couple presents that got overlooked the other day.....yes, yes I did....I know, I know....oh doppy me!!  Needless to say, I am now in my bed, and yeppers I sure do have the messager on, just on my back and just on low for sure....hahahahaha.}

^{I won't be posting on here again until Wednesday so until then I hope you all have a great time with your families and you don't get ran over by a reindeer or you weren't so bad that all you get tomorrow is a big ole lump of coal....that would suck....hahahahahaha. But seriously now,  I WISH YOU ALL A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!}

_{^{Today was one of those very Lazy Daze!!  It so looked like it was going to snow and I don't think the temp got over 35 or so all day.  So I decided I was going to keep my happy butt in my comfy bed, under my comfy quilt, with my comfy pillow and of course my 2 dogs getting comfy on or beside me, and stay there all day long....and that is exactly what I did!!  And I enjoyed each and every minute of it too....I won't even lie. hahahahaha}}

_{^{But this evening I did some modifing on my website, added a picture of me...*blushing*,  and did a few other adjustments.  Believe me, it's still not done yet....always something  to do, and I admit, I still need to tweak it in numerous areas.  What would you like to see?  Have any suggestions?  I would love to hear any and all suggestions you all might have, so please.....let me know!!}}

_{^{Wow, tomorrow I won't be babysitting Jayden because her mom & dad are off work, I won't have her again until Wednesday.  I think KeeKee (one of my dogs) is missing her almost as much as I am. She keeps going over to her bassinet, walking around it, looking in it, standing up on her hind legs to see in better, and giving a whimper or two and then looking at me like I did something with the baby....she is so funny.}}

_{^{This is KeeKee....isn't she a cutie?}}

_{^{Have you ever watched the show called The Ace of Cakes?  Those cakes they make are seriously awesome!!  They have so much talent, it's amazing!!}}

_{^{Not sure what all I will do tomorrow, but I'm sure it will be semi relaxing.  I guess since I sold my desktop computer to my oldest son Chris and his wife Helen, I should get all my "stuff" off of it so they can take it home, ya know, since they have paid me and all I really should get it done, shouldn't I?  hahahahaha   That is my assignment for tomorrow then!!}} 

_{^{Well I think I am going to close this for tonight, I have some drawings to finish....didn't forget ya Annemarie hahahaahaha.}}

_{^{I will catch ya'll tomorrow....}}

_{^{Love, Peace & Blessings}}

_{^{These next couple days can and usually do cause a great deal of stress, with getting the dinner, breaking up the fights with the kids because they don't want to share their new toys, cleaning up the messes, simply put....preparing for, living through, the aftermath can all cause flare ups on not only your stress level, but on your nerves and pain tolerance as well. So here is a tip that helps me get through those tough times.}}

^{_{Jonathan is in Amarillo and won't be home until tomorrow so I am here all by myself....well and the 2 dogs.  So, I fixed me this wonderful meal...yeah, it was a Healthy Choice Microwave Dinner, but it was wonderful for real. I have a big glass of ice water, am kicked back on my amazingly comfy bed, watching television which is something I don't do all that much, and when I am finished posting this I will turn the lights off, and watch more Comedy Central.  Sounds awesome doesn't it?  Good, you can do it along with me and then tomorrow you can post in the comments here of how your evening turned out, ya know, where you able to completely relax and just "BE"?}}

^{_{How did everyone like my post from last night?  I know it was long, but I simply fell in love with what he had to say in that, that I just had to share it all with you....hope you liked it.}}

^{_{In closing this I would like to leave you with a few things that I like keep in the forefront of my mind everyday:}}

^{_{Every day let God say something to you.    Keep the line of communication open between you and God by reading His word.}} 

^{_{Every day say something to God.    Stay in contact with the source of strength by prayer.  We cannot walk alone.  Prayer avails.}}

^{_{Every day say something for God.  Share the good news.  Tell a friend.  Speak a kind word.}}

^{_{Every day do something for God.   Look for opportunities to serve.  Opportunities are abundant; only a blind man could not see them.  Give a helping hand.  Encourage the downtrodden.  Exhort the wayward.  Comfort the sorrowful.  Support the weak.}}

Mood:  quizzical

^{This morning I was all ready for my little Jayden Brooke....but she was busy sleeping.  Finally about an hour later she decided to wake up and she looked up at me and smiled real big, I talked to her, she smiled some more, I kept talking, she smiled even bigger, and then.....she puked!!  Goes to show ya, she was smiling because I was talking with her, she knew she was about to relieve herself...hahahaha Bless her heart.}

^{Later in the day when she was taking a nap I was looking at some of my old books....I have a thing for old books that are unique. I picked up "Great Songs of The Church" which is in excellent condition and copyright dated 1967.}

^{( Love the way old books smell...odd isn't it ?).  Anyway I started thumbing thru it and stopped on a page, there were 3 songs on this page and one of them was...yep, you guessed it "I Surrender All", I'm telling ya, each and everytime I see that song or have it referenced like it was at Church Sunday.....hey, hang on, On Sunday the Preacher was speaking about 3 songs....I wonder if these other 2 are the same ones as well....I will have to find my paper on it and compare....wouldn't that be something?  Anyway, I thumbed thru it some more and yes, I smelled it a lot too....then I grabbed another old book off the shelf and it was "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale, it too is in excellent condition and its copyright date is 1956. It was his Anniversary Edition, first one was copyright date of 1952.  I read the Preface and I fell in love with the entire thing, so I thought I would share it with you all tonight, so here goes:}

^{At the time I wrote this book it never occurred to me that a two millionth copy anniversary would ever be observed. Frankly, however, my gratitude for this event is not from the viewpoint of books sold, but in terms of the many persons to whom I have been privileged to suggest a simple, workable philosophy of living.}

^{The dynamic laws which the book teaches were learned the hard way by trial and error in my personal search for a way of life.  But I found in them an answerto my own problems and, believe me, I am the most difficult person with whom I have worked. The book is my effort to share my spiritual experience, for if it helped me, I felt it might also be help to others.}

^{In formulating this simple philosophy of life I found my own answers in the teachings of Jesus Christ.  I have merely tried to describe those truths in the language and thought forms understandable to present day people.  The way of life to which this book is a witness is very wonderful.  It is not easy.  Indeed, it often is hard, but it is full of joy and hope and victory.}

^{I well recall the day I sat down to begin writing the book.  I knew that the best work required more ability than I possessed and therefore I needed help that only God could give.  My wife and I have the policy of taking God into working partnership in all our problems and activities.  So we had a very earnest session of prayer, asking for guidance, and we put the project into God's hands.  When the manuscript was ready for the publisher Mrs. Peale and I again prayed, dedicating the manuscript. We asked only that it might help people to live more effective lives.  When the first book of these two million copies came from the press to us it was again a spiritual moment.  We thanked God for His help and dedicated the book once more.}

^{The book was written for the plain people of this world, of whom certainly I am one.  I was born and reared in humble Midwestern circumstances in a dedicated Christian home.  The everyday people of this land are my own kind whom I know and love and believe in with great faith.  When anyone lets God have charge of his life the power and glory are amazingly demonstrated.}

^{The book is written with deep concern for the pain, difficulty and struggle of human existence.  It teaches the cultivation of peace of mind, not as an escape from life into protected quiescence, but as a power center our of which comes driving energy for constructive personal and social living.  It teaches poitive thinking, not as a means to fame, riches or power, but as the practical application of faith to overcome defeat and accomplish worthwhile creative values in life.  It teaches a hard, disciplinary way of life, but one which offers great joy to the person who achieves victory over himself and the difficult circumstances of the world.}

^{To all who have written me about the joyous victory they have had through practicing the spiritual techniques of this book and to those who will yet have such experience may I say how happy I am for all that is happening to them as they live by dynamic spiritual formulas.}

^{I wish finally to express deep appreciation to my publishers for their never-failing support, co-operation and friendship.  I have never worked with finer people than my cherished friends at Prentice-Hall.  May God continue to use this book in human helpfulness.}

^{Norman Vincent Peale}

^{I hope you all enjoyed that as much as I did, and I do apologize for it being so long, but I simply couldn't cut anything out of it....it wouldn't have done it any justuce whatsoever. So I put the entire thing....but it's worth it!!}

^{Till tomorrow everyone, sleep well!!}

^{Love, Peace & Blessings}

Believe, when you are most unhappy,that there is something for you to do in the world.

So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.
