Lares and Draco update photo's :)

Ok, here's a Lares and Draco update - plus a couple of "extra's" LOL

In these photo's Lares and Draco are about 20 weeks old, (That's my Cindy lol -  growing like the proverbial weed.

  

 

    

  

 

This is a 5 month old Texas Longhorn on Cindy's parent's ranch...We "introduced" Lares and Draco to him, as the calf came running up to the fence line, Lares and Draco turned into pansies ROFL.

I was checking on my journal page when I noticed that the graphic with Shyanne's picture wasn't showing up so I reloaded using a different method.  Hopefully She stays there now so you all can see  how beautiful she was.  Hugz***

Remembering Shyanne...

This is Shyanne - She was a beautiful, vivacious 7 year old, She loved people, My Little Ponies, Barbie's, Roses, Frogs - all kinds of things. The mouse on her arm here is "Mickey".

She was Cindy's Niece - they were extremely close, Shyanne was extremely close to her Grandmother also.

When Shyanne was 7 - a teenage drunk driver hit her on her bike and killed her instantly.  The drunk driver showed no remorse, never said he was sorry, his family didn't either.  A few months after Shyanne's murder, he and his family moved to another part of the state where not long after he was again driving drunk and hit a vehicle, killing the child in that accident also.  In neither of these cases he was never really given any kind of punishment for his crime.

April 23rd is the anniversary of her passing & each year it's just as hard for Cindy and her Grandmother when this time comes.

Shyanne would have been 17 years old this year.

Please, if any of you ever THINK about driving drunk? Please don't.  Think about the lives you may save by not doing so, if not your own.

 

This entry is not meant for any other purpose than to introduce someone who was a very important and LOVED part of a few people's lives.

She is missed today as much as the day she was taken away 10 years ago.

 

Thank you for listening.

Good evening everyone :)  Hope this entry finds most of you happy, healthy and wise :)  I'm sitting here waiting on my Cindy to get home from work, have dinner cooked already...rib sticking food... Fried Pork Chops, Potatoes, Green Beans and Biscuits :)  Sounds good doesn't it?  well, it does to me & Pork Chops are something She loves.  She is having to work a little late tonight being as it is almost the end of the month and is having to tie up some loose ends as far as paperwork is concerned, poor baby sounded so tired and aggravated on the phone.  Well, the Babies (puppies & cats) and I will be here waiting for her when she gets home.

I have all day shifts this week, have a double to pull on Saturday though, it won't be too bad. 

Last night we had a heck of a thunderstorm system move through this area, tornado watches were included...the storm started about 1:30 a.m. and was still going at 6 a.m.  I couldn't sleep well, the puppies were acting up and between them and just the flashes of lightning continualy flashing through the window's in the bedroom I just couldn't get the rest I wanted.  Cindy says she was aware of the storm, yet I still heard her soft little snores LOL.  I finally got up at my usual time (5:00 a.m.) too take the puppies out for their potty call, then I come in start Cindy's breakfast, pour myself some coffee and go outside to have a smoke. (Yes, I've tried in the past to quit smoking but it's damned hard and to put it bluntly, I like smoking : x)  I'm guessing I will quit when I am ready and not before so I'm not stressing about it.  Same thing with the diet I was going to try with Cindy...I wasn't ready for it - and if you are not ready for something like that it's useless to try.  I think I've lost a few pounds at this job anyway, so that's a good thing. ANYWAY, after my smoke I come in, finish her breakfast, get it all wrapped up and ready for her to take with her so she can eat it in her truck before she goes into her workplace.  She loves it :)  I love taking care of her.. She's my heart :)

Anyhoo... Monday was a stressful day here for Cindy and her Mom, I will write about that in a future entry ~ maybe tomorrow.  It won't be along entry, it will actually be pretty short, but that's the only way it can be.

Going to get going now, Cindy is getting ready to leave work and I want to have everything ready for when she gets here..

Thinking

This Photograph is called "Stolen" by "andrewfphoto".

 

Something, just something called to me as soon as I looked at this beautiful and to me, haunted looking little one.  I'm not sure exactly what it is~ is it merely a reflection of myself as a child?

Look into her eyes and what do you see? what does her mouth say? her face? what age old wisdom do you see in her wise, yet young & innocent face? to me, it also says - "I'm so far away from you that you can't touch me, no not really" .  Is it a look of expectation? resilience? bravery? or just - you are a stupid adult, what do you truly know?

Brings to mind a passage from the movie "The Crow" with Brandon Lee.  He's standing there with his hand wrapped around the heroin warped out mother and he whispers in her ear to MAKE her listen (this is an approximate quote not exact) but it goes something like this :: Mother is the name of God on the lips and in the mind of all children, look into the mirror & what do you see...::: as he holds her arm and forces all the heroin that she has taken out of her arm.

Mother was not my God.  She was a devil's henchman. And yes, I know she is trying very hard to make up for it now. I'm trying, she's trying, yet I still wonder with this statement "Mom, it's just a little too late".

And then, I stop thinking about it again for awhile, I remember we have both failed at this Mother Daughter thing. We all deserve a second chance.

This beautiful picture is called "Starfish" by "bernie".

 

Listening to:   Boston's Greatest Hits.

 

Isn't this a beautiful photo?  I wish I could take pictures like this person.  I've seen places like this on the coast of Florida throughout my life at times.

Thank you all for all your encouragement.  The "troll" struck again this morning, am thinking I will leave the comment there for all of you to read then when I write my next entry I will delete and block it.  Wanted to let you see what they said, this is just one of them.  Some people need to find some other way to use up their time. (shrug)  anyhoo, not letting it bother me, they are what they are and apparently can't help themselves, I just won't feed into their addiction and envy of others.

I am writing now because I won't have time to for the next couple of days I think, won't get off of work today till around midnight sometime.  If I'm not too tired I may write tomorrow but don't count on it LOL.

Eegaads my nose hurts    Lares was chewing on my hand and he reared up and caught the inner edge of my poor nose with his tooth and ripped it a little. Damn that hurt!  We are trying to teach them not to do that, manners in other words.

I'm hoping work today will be smooth and uneventful - this one guy there yesterday put me in the most crappy mood..was sarcastic to everyone for the rest of the day. If he's there today I'm not going to give him that power, just going to ignore his a**.  Poor Cindy didn't know what to make of it LOL.  I'm rarely like that, I allowed the creep to ruin my whole day and Cindy and the babies (cat's & dog's) suffered for it.

I'm sorry Baby for being a boohead.

I'm wondering about "bands" these days - I realize yes, there are some good one's out there in this day and age, yet so many sound alike.  Classic Rock n Roll, nothing will ever beat that.  Toto, Asia, Boston, Chicago, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Styx, Foreigner, Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult...you know those kinds of bands? I miss them so much, luckily we have CD's etc. to listen to them with.

Sometimes I wish I really understood sports more, Donna over at "This, That and Hockey" writes about her love of Hockey all the time and it's like I'm reading greek  LOL Or like when Cindy watches Basketball, or Russ mentions sports...I have never had a interest in sports at ALL.

I even hated PE is school lol.

Well, I think I'm going to go now, have to start preparing to go to work.

Love you all and have a wonderful weekend ok?

Good Morning All  :) 

I hope this entry finds everyone at least somewhat content, feeling better etc. in their lives, after all it is Friday - though for me tomorrow is my "Friday".

I wanted to say, to let you know, that what I wrote yesterday was not meant in any form or fashion to offend anyone; nor was it an attempt to trivialize what has happened at Virginia Tech, it was only my own personal feelings and opinions on the matter 'k?  So don't hold them against me.  If they sounded harsh or I didn't care about what happened, I'm sorry for that also because believe me I'm anything but indifferent to it, I've cried more than once for the whole tragedy, 9/11 STILL makes me cry to this day and probably will for many more years to come.

My darling Cindy says to thank you for your well wishes, that she is feeling better now-at least a little bit more so.  She hauled her a** off to work this morning; privately I thought she should have stayed home but I would have had to tie her to the bed :::rethinking that:: you know that would so NOT be such a bad thing <wyked grin>::: poor Baby is a workaholic.  Other than when I was at work yesterday (had a short day) I was with her... even when she was sleeping.  She doesn't care for soup of any kind really so I brought home a rotisserie <sp?> chicken from walmart, baked a potato, warmed up some peas and had a salad for dinner <She likes the white meat, I like the Dark so that's a GOOD thing ROFL> the point is, She ate...She isn't sick to her tummy, it's a cold so her tummy wasn't bothered - fixed Strawberry Shortcake with Whipped Cream for dessert (used pound cake because Cindy doesn't like sponge cake of any kind) She did wake up around 2 a.m. burning up with the fever so She got up and splashed cold water on her face etc. then came back to bed. I worry about her when She's ill - but then we all do when people we love aren't feeling well, right?

I guess I better be going now, I have things to do before I get ready for work..I hope you all liked the jokes I sent out this morning - again - if you don't want me to forward them to you, please let me know nicely :)  I'm only trying to make people smile :)
