snowball making snow..........

herbie kept letting himself out..crazy dog .. he would go out & play then i put him & ruby in the porch to dry a little before they romped through the house with their big wet paws... 15 minutes would pass i would go get them & what do you know...
herbie was outside again...

currently he is soaking wet at my feet...
sleeping & snoring away ...

always has a goofy expression on his face... he will sit at the corner of my fenced yard & stare at my neighbor.. just sits & stares .. & DROOLS... he will zone out & have drool that literally almost touches the ground as he sits & stares ...
he also loves to sit in the middle of the staircase... facing down .. butt on one step... feet a couple steps lower...
i love him to pieces .. my doofy ... innocent .. herbie the love bug ...
original available on ebay... click image or title below...
always making friends ...

* out of town for the night *

beautiful foundation....

my baby boy was due april 22nd 1997...
after 2 weeks plus of waiting .. so excited for my new baby
we induced labor & 24 plus hours later on may 6th 1997 after an emergency c-section my beauty arrived ..
he lived in a tent in the NICU for the first 24 hours .. i tickled his toes & was thrilled he was here...... i held him for the first time 24 hours after he was born... it was amazing ..

4 days later .. the day i was to go home..
colman stopped breathing in my arms ..
my husband started CPR as i called for a nurse ...
colman was again in the NICU connected to bells & whistles ..
i held him in my arms rocking him .. singing
you are my sunshine & holding him
i was staring at him .. afraid to blink ..
afraid i would look down & find a blue baby again ...
so i stared & sang
trying to drowned out the endless beeps & whistles with my song...

here i am Mothers Day 1997 the day we left the hospital with Colman...

what happened ?
why?
no one knows.....
no one knows even today why or what happened ..
our healthy boy just stopped breathing..

please pass above video on...
hug you babies ..
...........OFTEN .........
and help others
think of others
do what you are able to do to help
celebrate these young spirits lives.....

~ pre chilled bulbs ~

ok after a terrible experience with a nasty garden chick...
who is the nasty garden chick ME or HER is yet to
be determined ...
but i have my PRE CHILLED BULBS FOR FORCING
after purchasing them off ebay!!
woooo hoooo !!
here is another place i checked out ....

bloomingbulb.com

as i stood next to a display of forced spring bulbs in silly baskets .. garden
lady giggled at my request for bulbs & gave me a silly you
you can't do that blah blah blah without even asking what my plans were..
i told her
" well you are of no help to me ..."
what the hell she just shot me down with no questions so i slowly turned & continued to look as she yammered on
" blah blah blah you can't do that yada yada i you have to plant them in the fall blah
blah blah "
ok lady like i'm going outside & trying to dig through the snow into the frozen ground
& plant bulbs !!!
i can't believe she thought i was that stupid

" i want to force bulbs ..inside ... in containers "
do you have prechilled bulbs or what????

UGH.

apparently a bitchy response according to my husband who
immediately whispered to me " your being rude " & wanted to leave
after i responded ...
i thought she was being totally nasty & of absolutely NO help...
admittingly i shouldn't have responded that way ...
bad me..
but i really can't stand that kind of attitude ..
i politely ask YOU.. the professional.. a question & that is your response??
a cold condescending giggling answer...
that just is wrong on waaay to many levels..
.. ask me what i am needing them for..
... is it too much to ask? just a little bit of kindness..
look me in the eye & answer me.. if i am off my stinking rocker fine
but don't be a bitch... help me come up with a better plan ..

this has been quite typical to this state...

i wonder when anyone here will just toss us a frickin' bone my god!

so i of course turned to the internet & found EXACTLY what i was looking for...
simple... no BS

i love the internet
:)
