I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I just got back from voting.  As an adult, I don't think there's a greater responsibility (other than that to our family) to maintain a government that can lead us back to the greatest country on earth.  Voting is everyone's responsibility who is over the age of 18 and I hope most of you have taken the opportunity to vote as well.  Regardless of which party you voted for, Thank you!

Here's some aerial pictures of the 2008 Oklahoma State Fair. We had fun and ate a lot of food, visited and talked to many of the exhibitors, and I rode the "needle" (similar to the Seattle needle, but much smaller!) where I took many of the photos. Enjoy!

Would someone take that woman's library card away so she would quit posting nonsense to people's journal?? 

It's amazing that Sarah turned 18 and did not run to you!  Did you really expect her to leave here and go back to you?

Get a clue!

Well, playing with my puppy has proved dangerous.  Monday night I was in the emergency room getting 5 stitches in the ear after a hyped up dog scratched the back of my ear with his claw while we were playing.  Amazingly there is no pain but it sure does itch.  Luckily it's on the back side which is flat!

FREE TO GOOD HOME:  White/gray Great Pyrenees puppy.  Needs claws trimmed. Medical Insurance on you required!

Where does it all end after a divorce?  I used to tell myself that once she was gone life would be simpler.  I have to say that she made some dumb decisions during the divorce process by leaving all of her stuff here and taking only her precious dolls and silver items with her.  She didn't even have the decency to take the kids some clothes and toys.  Now, seven years later she's looking for her stuff.  She needs to get a  life and realize that she'll never see her quilt or chair or couch or anything that she left behind ever again.  She might check flea markets and yard sales.  

I guess the hardest part of it all is that my children have to put up with this bs.  Sarah doesn't read this live-journal stuff anyway.  I love my grandson and have seen him twice in his 11 months on earth.  I've paid for airline tickets to see my daughter and grandson.  Yes, they mean enough to me to have them over and get to know them better since they live so far away.  I want to get to know Dave better also.  I plan on making my way up there to visit.  Elliott is going to grow up and call Christy grandma and i'm proud of that.  Christy loves Lauren, Dave and Elliott.  We both love you guys if you see this.

I have since gotten on with my life.  I own a house and have a family.   I am proud of the accomplishments that all of my children, both biological and my step kids.   I am blessed to have all of my kids in my life.  It was difficult the first few years when I really didn't have good contact or communication with Lauren and Sarah.  But Lauren and I have grown closer and having Sarah here with us and seeing the changes in her is wonderful.  

I know this seems like a bunch of rambling but it's just my thoughts concerning my life today.  I'm not looking for a medal, lord knows I have plenty of them from the military.  I'm just thankful for having my family together once again.  I guess dealing with the rude comments from certain posters of live-journal is just a price I'll have to pay, and I do it with a smile!

 This is what I want to build in the backyard to go over the hot tub.  Does anyone have any other ideas or plans for a pergola?  

Here's a post from my crazy ass x-wife. She claims I had an affair with Christy while I was still married to her, but truth is (and she knows it but she still wants me to look like the bad guy...and this coming from a loony who screwed anything walking in Germany and got pregnant by another guy while WE WERE STILL MARRIED!!!) I didn't meet Christy until May of 2002, well after our divorce was finalized. Anyway, just thought I would post the truth so everyone can read who the real crack-who** is in this situation. Somebody is just jealous that I could find someone as skinny and attractive as Christy is. I'M NOT TRYING TO HOLD ON TO HOPES OF GETTING BACK TOGETHER WITH MY EX!!! That's ridiculous! Who is the father of your son, Selina?

Christy the lier

You do not know Christy the crack who** who had an affair with my husband when I was married:
I NEVER TOOK DRUGS AND YOU ARE MAKING THAT SH** UP.
We all know why Sarah left :)
Sarah left because she had a court date to go to jail !
Mood: calm

Court Date?
Tell the truth about that court date...How many letters did you receive in the mail and do nothing about them concerning the "charges"? All I did was get my attorney to make a simple phone call and the matter was cleared up and any charges dropped. You did nothing to help your so-called "daughter". Christy and I did what we knew was the right thing to do. You are responsible for her actions while in your care and you failed. Just as you failed as a mother to both Lauren and Sarah. I hope you are proud of yourself. As for the quilt...dream on. You know that all of that stuff is yours, awarded in the divorce and EVERYTHING was put into storage when you skipped town. You have all of the information regarding the storage location and unit number. If you are looking for the quilt, start there. I don't have it! As for Lauren, you have no right to post pertinent medical information about her over the internet, whether true or not. It's her body and that's between her and her doctors. Grow up!

A big thanks goes out to my daughter Lauren for making the icon. It really makes me feel good to have had Elliott in my arms on that Friday afternoon. I cannot wait until I get to hold him again. (hint, hint)...

I'm not quite sure how this thing works or how to set it up! I need HELP!! :)
