My Wishes

I have been thinking if I had 3 wishes what would they be...I am thinking realistic

1. I would like to be in Montana now...we are moving there as soon as all this legal blah is done.

2. I want a SUV type car. Something Cody can be comfy in and be far away from me.

3. To be able to give my loved ones a special gift...something they really want, not need.

I have a good life and am happy but lets face it, we always want more.
So what would you wish for?

Prison Pages pg.2

I can't see how I made it there...I mean I am not frivolous, but I sure like aloe strip razors. I was shaving this morning and I was remembering the razors we had. Talk about hack job. I guess I got used to them cause I don't remember killing myself. Ok the soap is a story you will like. The bars of soap were as thin as a stick of gum and the size of one of those coupon tickets, you know the kind they use for raffles. I might still have one somewhere...nope I don't but they are small. Well we would take 7-8 pieces of soap and crush them up. Mix a little water in it and shape it into one big bar. If you want to try it...get some of those hotel soaps, crush them up alomst to powder, mix water and shape. You have a nice bar of soap that you can pick up without any trouble. And in prison you can drop the soap and feel safe, our showers were single showers.
I once thought I would never make it there...more later.

Prison Pages pg.1

I have been wanting to note down my days in TDC. Things I did, wild things I made, my life there in a whole. I have so much to tell and it might not come all at once so these pages will be speratic.
One thing is I am slowly blocking out things. Like I can't remember what the doors looked like. Now I do visit my friend there, but I can't see inside. I remember the #'s above the doors...cell #'s and I remember the color. Grey and white. So blah. And I can tell you what my cell looked like, small toilet with sink attached, a desk with steel seat, two steel bunks and a mattress. Very thin one at that. Oh and our cell was our world. We were in there alot. I was very picky about my cell. Never walked on the floor with my shoes. Gross. I cleaned my floor twice a day. I would pick everything up put it on the table, strip down to my bra and shorts and go swimming...thats what we called it. With a towel I would pour shampoo in the toilet, which is very clean by the way, and just flood the floor. Then repeat with plain water. Then dry with towel...Following that I would wash clothes in the toilet also, with shampoo and bippy. Bippy is our comet. All of which you have to buy from the store. Then hang all my clothes with bread ties, not the twisty ones the flat kind. You could slide them in the slates of the light so your clothes could hang dry. Funny I can think of all different things...but some stick out more than others. I love using my washing machine now. And a real mop...funny the other day I actually got on my hands and knees to clean the floor.
Next time I will tell ya how we made soap and tampons from pads...

Friday Feet

I am doing nothing today...for the first time in two weeks I have noway to go. So I will veg out and watch TV. TGIF...

Good Boy

Cody had his awards ceremony today. He did very well...one award I am very proud of is the Academic Honor Roll in the District. Such a scholar.
Everything else is just moving along. We start soccer next week, I am coaching Cody's team again. I go to court Thursday...good vipes to me please. That's about it. Have a great day...

Race Day

Well Cody came in 7th...not to bad for his first time.

Pine Wood Derby

"The Akela Dragster"

Cody has the Pine Wood Derby tomorrow for scouts. This is his car he built.It started out as a block of wood. With the help of Sue. This is his first race so just competing will be fun. I will have race day pics for ya tomorrow.

Tid Bit Tuesday

Not much going on with us. We are off to scouts. I have been flooded with appointments since I have been home. And oh my biggest appointment ever is coming up. I go to court on the 24th. I am nervous but at the same time I am sure it will go well. All my ducks are in order and the odds are in my favor. Plus it is meant to be that Cody stays right where he is.
Like I said not much going on. Take care all...

Dork Alert

Moon Shoes

My Zapps...Yummy

A few were asking what Zapps were. They are hot hot potato chips...I mix them in with my Ramen.

Seven Nothings

I was tagged by my sis...

1. I have to vaccum everyday. I am not a total clean freak but I can't stand grass and little pieces of paper on my floor. With a kid running in and out it gets awful.

2.Mini blinds, they have to be facing the same way. You know when you turn the little stick to open or close them, they can't be diff. And when I raise them they have to be even. I will go back and forth making sure they are right. Absolutely no broken blinds.

3.I must have my child matching. Yeah he is a boy and boys don't wear outfits or care about what they look like, but it drives me crazy. I try to get his clothes out the night before so he is presentable. I won't be able to do this for long. He is so indepentant.

4.I will write a letter over and over again till it looks good. The style of writing has to be the same thru out the whole letter. I go thru some paper.

5.Even though I am out of prison I still want the food that I cooked myself. I love Ramen Noodles and Zapps...yum

6.I will bend over backwards for someone time and time again. I will help anyone, but I won't ask of others. Well except family, I always need them.

7.And last but not least...My picture frames do not match. I like all different kinds, colors, and sizes. No patterens and no certain places, just hang them wherever.

There is so much more to me...but only 7!

Funky Feet

These are the neatest things...Moon Shoes. I will post a video of us playing with them later.

Back To Normal

Well we made it home...and I am ready to go back. It was a late night Sunday, and the boy was sleepy. I was so glad to see Sue that's for sure. I always miss her "Big Time".
So now that I am home I have to deal with all the not so fun stuff. The appts that I have to go to, the bank to deal with. That is a story in its own.
Ok let me tell you a story about learning your lesson. When I was put in "timeout" I just went nuts. I wanted someone to get me out. But I wasn't going anywhere, stuck like chuck. It was about 2mths into my sentence when I realized this might be the best thing for me. And I can say that for sure now. I am sort of glad I went down. Made me who I am today. Well a family member of mine just got locked up and I can't say I am sad about it. She needs to learn a lesson, yeah it might be cruel but life catches up with you. Like I said before I put myself where I was so it was my own fault. I hope she realizes that we have to pay for our mistakes and she has no one to blame but herself. Now she is blaming everyone but herself right now, but I know she will see different later. If she doesn't well then she is just stupid. When all you have is time to think, things become clear to you. And if I may be funny for a minute, when you wear white 24/7, have to sleep on metal, use bars of soap the size of a quater, and only get one roll a TP a week, you start to apperciate life and stay on the straight and narrow.
I must go now, child will be home soon. Have a good day.

Almost Over

We have two days left. So I must get as much fun in as possible. Cody is working on alot of scout badges while here...can't pass up those snow activities. I wont be posting till I get back home. I really can't wait till we are here for good. It is so cool to get up and feed animals, stock the fire, and get dressed for the snow day. Something you just have to experience.
So yall have a nice weekend...later!

Snowy Feet

Way Too Much Fun

So the last couple of days have been packed with fun. RealMan has been home and we have done alot. But tonight topped it off. We all set out on the 4wheeler...Cody and me were on the sled, sis was riding backwards, and RealMan was driving... so cool. Cody is winding down. We head home Sunday. Then back to the real world. I just love coming here. Every year gets better.

Sledding Today
