Where Has this Month GONE?

I can't believe that the month if gone. It has been such a busy one. Today I have a Dr appointment. What a way to end the month. I am diabetic, and my sugars have not been too good. They haven't been terrible, just not good. So we will see how it goes.
My younger son wants to go to lunch with me today, so we will see how that goes. I also need to stop by work, I really should work the overtime today, but I can't seem to fit it in my day.
I appreciate everyone for stopping by. I hope your month ends as a happy one. Have a great day.

Today is Better

Today seems much better. I seem to be having a good day. Getting along with the husband, just having a great day. Sorry about yesterdays post. Lisa is doing great (I think). I hope everyone has a great week. I am looking forward to a better week myself. AThank you for stopping by.

Have you Ever had one of those Weeks?

Well I seem to be having one this week. I seem to have even upset my own sister. I didn't realize I did anything wrong. This has not been a good week. For the first time in a very long time I am feeling depressed and very stressed out. I don' tknow what to say, think, or feel. I feel some time like I can do no right. I hate that feeling. I am to the point today I want to run and hide. I wonder if any one understands that. In am a peace maker and I try not to ruffle anyone. But then it blows up in my face. It really has been a hard week, and it seems to just be getting worse and worse. I guess I thought yesterday would be the worst day of the week. But today has gotten even worse. I know this sounds like a pity party. For that I am sorry. I guess I needed to vent. I will try to be more positive on the next post. Thanks for listening.

It's Sunday where has the Weekend gone?

Hope every one has had a good weekend. For me it has gone by to fast. It's back to work tomorrow. Three day weekend, makes me not want to go back to work tomorrow. I just have to tell you all just how wonderful Lisa is. She works so hard at home and with her kiddo's. Well better run for now. I should be at church, but I am working on chores. Plus we are expect 14 inchs of snow here this after noon. Ick. Ya all have a great week........

TGIF

It's Friday. Thank goodness. I finely took the day off and did not work overtime. I did however have to go to the Dr, Not fun. But the rest of the day has been great. I went to lonch with my 20 year old son. We had a great time. We didn't even argue. He Loves to argue. But Not today. It was fantastic. I have taken time and visited other blogs, and Taken time for myself. It may be tough on the nex pay check, but it was sure nice to just relax. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a great day

Where Have I been?

Sorry it has been a whole week since I blogged, but ya know how life goes. I have been working a lot again. But this next week should be a little better. I am actually taking a day off. Can you believe it? Lisa will be shocked. I do think she will be busier than I am this week. She is such a busy person. Little E keeps her that way. Along with the other kiddo's. Well I guess I better think what my next entry should be. Have a great day everyone.

Johari Window

I found this link at my sister's blog and I thought it was neat! Just click on this link


Jewel's Johari Window

and highlight five or six words (they can be anywhere on the form) that you feel like describes me. Then, there is a link at the bottom that shows you the results.

The premise behind this activity is to see how the world VIEWS me, vs how I view myself.

I thought this might be fun!

Cold Weather

It is so dang cold here that the pipes in th kitchen froze. It sucks not being able to do the dishes in the dishwasher. I think I will have to break down and boil water to wash the dishes today. ICK. Oh well, I guess it could be worse, there could be no water at all. Sorry I haven't blogged much lately, but I have been working a lot, and it gets to cold down here, and my feet freeze. Even with socks and shoes. More later.........

Lets talk about Phobia's

What a day. It was a long day at work. I just got home. I have this phobia of driving the highways so I don't. Well tonight I decieded I wanted to get home and enough was enough. So..... guess what I did.... I finely took the highway home. I can't believe it. And I didn't even call my husband and ask him the way to get home. Hooray for me.

Too Much Overtime Again

Sorry I haven't had a new post in a while. To much over time again. It is going to cut back starting this week. Our hours are changing at work. I will be woking 4 ten hour shifts, and getting Fridays off. (that will be my overtime day along with Saturdays). Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great weekend. (or shall I say Sunday). More later..........

A little about myself........

I am married and I have 2 grown boys. But they don't act grown up. M is almost 21, and J is almost 25. I have been married almost 26 years. It will be 26 years next month. I can't believe it. 26 years to one person. WOW.

I was born and raised in Utah, and have been away from there for almost 21 years. I have one brother, and 5 sisters. My older sister passed away almost 3 years ago. My mom has been divorced a couple of times, so that's how come there are so many of us. I would break it all down, but that would take to long and would just confuse everyone. (Believe me)

My stepmom is the greatest, and I love her dearly. Her health is not good and it scares me that we may loose her soon. I hope they can figure out what is wrong with her and can find something to help her.

I started a new job in September, and have been working a lot of over time. I will be working a lot of over time this week too. I think it keeps me out of trouble. (At least I hope so)

Someone suggested I tell about my likes and dislikes. Where do I start. Maybe that will be my next blog entry.

Too Much Overtime

Sorry I haven't written a new blog but I have worked 57 hours this week. I will try to get a new post later today. Here I go off to work for the last 3 hours of OT for the week. More later.............

I would talk about Lisa, but...

I would love to tell all of you about Lisa and her childood. But then that would leave me wide open, and she may talk about my childhood. So...... I better leave that well enough alone. I will say she was no angel :) and we will just leave it at that.

As far as my name CrypticLady, Lisa came up with that too. That was a about 4 years ago, when I just started getting on the computer, So I guess we need to ask her why she thinks I am so cryptic.

Maybe I don't want to know?????

What should I talk about?

I don't have near as much excitement in my life as my sister. So I will try not to bore anyone.
My dear sister gave me a blog for Christmas. I tried to tell her not to, but she did anyway. My problem is I don't know what to say. So I will just do my best to come up with something. Any suggestions, let me know.

Here I go...My first Blog entry. I am just trying this out to see how it works. Thanks sis for the Blog.

Merry Christmas Sissy!
