HOT...HOT...HOT...

I'd just like to know what the Hell happened to Spring? First our winter was so mild the midgets only got to make one snowman, and didn't even get to use their new sleds from Santa this year!! Now don't get me wrong I'm grateful (as are my bones) that the Ice Bitch didn't rear her ugly face this year, but seriously!?!?  Our non winter turned into summer overnight! Now I know 80°F isn't all that hot but when it's 40° one night and 80° in the morning...NOT COOL!! I'm sweatin' like a whore in church over here. Finally I was able to make it to the store and get new filters for the furnace so as we speak the central air is bustin' it's ass to cool Mama down. Normally I would just sweat it out until sundown when the house cools off, but that's not happening this year. For whatever reason the soft breeze we have all day filling the house with hot air stops flowing once the sun goes down. So even though we have ALL of the windows wide open the house is like an oven all night long making it impossible to sleep. I refuse to go another night without sleep. I've turned into Mommy Dearest and the Stepford Wife from Hell!! Trust me, it ain't pretty..and you all know how it goes. When Mama ain't happy.... Nobody is happy. So central air it is, damn what the Sailor says!! Him and his narrow ass are the only thing getting any sleep. I hate being hot, I would rather be so cold I could cut glass. I can always put more layers on or shag the Sailor to stay warm. There are only so many clothes I can take off before the neighbors start staring and traffic backs up... sigh.

I'd like to thank everyone for their condolences and kind words for Jason and I on the loss of his father. Things have been going pretty smooth. Since Sr.'s service isn't going to be until the 14th of April the boys step mom has left and went to her sisters house down south.  While she's gone the boys are spending their days in their fathers garage. It's a junk mans paradise. I can't tell if the boys are in awe of some of the stuff they find or in horror.... Anyways, thanks for all the comments and emails. They really do help. You guys are the best.

Before I go here's a comment and a question from Formspring.


Q: 
My condolences on Jason's loss. It hurts to lose your dad. I know. Good that he had time to say goodbye. Perhaps easier than experiencing a sudden death. Beezer

A:
Thanks Beezer. It was definitely good that the boys had time with their father, and the kids with their Grand-Dad.


Q:
This is my first visit -- do you send your blog by email?

A:
Sometimes I will send a draft to my blog through email but the main posting and editing is done from my lap top. Ha! I just realized you might want to know if you can receive my blog by email. I guess you can. I promise by the time you're done reading this post there will be a link for subscriptions to the blog just under the follow widget on the sidebar.


Thanks for the comment Beezer, and for the question anonymous. I do apologize for the lateness of my reply to you anonymous I know it's been quite a while since you asked your question.

Now I know it's been a while since I've posted any photos of some deliciously HOT men and I know you all understand. Thanks for being patient with me. You really are the best group of followers a girl could ask for. Lastly, before I go, if you haven't noticed yet I'd like to let you know that our favorite sexy blonde, Adam, has started posting again over at Sex At Noon Taxes. Be sure to go and check out all the sexiness he has going on.

Love Huggs

Bitter Sweet...

St. Patrick's Day for us this year was bitter sweet. It was sweet because it was Kiera's 7th birthday and we're Irish, well the Sailor and the midgets are at least, therefore I am too by association. Everyone had fun and the day was wonderful. 

It was also bitter. After we tucked the girls in for the night the Sailor and I sat out back around the fire pit just chit chatting about this and that. It was a little after 11pm I do believe when we received the phone call. It was from the Sailors step sister. She called to inform us that at about 10:30 pm the Sailors father had passed away quietly at home.

Jason has been off from work for almost a month now spending time with his father and helping out around his house. Fixing things, running errands, just visiting, and eventually helping take care of his father when he was no longer able to take care of himself and sitting vigil.  From the moment his father was diagnosed terminal with cancer (before that if you want the truth) everyone, including his father, always joked about how he was so Irish that since he wasn't born on St. Patrick's Day he would die on it. Well the old man pumped blood & sucked air (←his words) with everything he had, holding out until then. Like I said before, he died quietly at home in his own bed just as naked and free as he was the day he was born.

There wasn't an overly emotional display of feelings like there was when Maggie Alice passed. It's been quiet and pretty calm. Mainly I believe because while an early death was always known to be a possibility (always is with heart issues, especially one as severe as hers), Maggie's death was quite sudden. Where as with Jason's father everyone had months to come to terms with the fact that this IS going to happen and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it.

Towards the end it became a sit and wait situation with prayers that he would peacefully slip away and no longer be in pain. I believe there was big sigh of relief from those of us he left behind because we were now glad he was no longer suffering and was in a better place. I also think there was big sigh from those he was on his way to meet because trouble was coming home. :)

As his loving wife said :  "[the Sailor Sr.] has changed ports. He has left the port of South Haven to drop anchor in Heaven. At least, that is where I hope he ends up. With a 7th fleet sailor, I'm not always sure."

You will be missed and you will always be loved.

I love you Dad
