Household Tips

There are a lot of different things that you have on hand all the time that you can clean with everyday. I found a website that lists a lot of them. Its called "CLEAN & GREEN". There is a lot of useful information there. I also found Helpful Hints...Natural Remedies and Vinegar Tips - 1001 Uses. Check it out.

Little Moments

There are a lot of "Little Moments" in our lives that will be with us forever. I, for one, am thankful for those little moments. I hope I always have those memories. I just read about a "little moment" in someone else's life and wanted to share it. Here is where I found it: www.zenmoments.org/the-cab-ride-ill-never-forget/

Shane Hattaway

How do I start? This is my husband, the love of my life. I knew he would always be here. We would be together forever. We would raise our kids and grow old together. Sit outside on the front porch in our rockers and wait for our grand kids to visit.

No one could ask for a better Daddy, husband, or friend. A very hard worker, devoted and reliable. The type of person who would do anything for anybody, anytime night or day. Even those people who tried in every way to hurt him, if they needed his help and he could he would help. Regardless of the past.

Life is always throwing obstacles at you and we have been through our share. We have been through things I would have never imagined. We stuck together and made it through. When I was sad or discouraged he always reassured me that it would be alright. "Keep your chin up, it'll all work out!" he would always say with that awesome smile of his. And he was right, it did work out. Those of you who know me, know what I am talking about.

On December 24, 2006, we faced an obstacle like no other. One that made me look back and realize everything we had been through up to that point was just a bump in the road. Although I worried about him all the time, I never expected this. Shane was a big, strong, tough man. He worked in the oilfield all of his life. He loved it. Every part of it. It was in his blood. He got hurt on the job a couple of times, one time was pretty scary. They were moving a joint of pipe with a track hoe and the pipe kicked up and hit Shane in the chest. It knocked him back several feet and knocked him out. He had some very bad bruises and some cuts and he almost bit his tongue off.The guys working with him that day thought he was dead. He was back at work two days later. A very hardheaded man that would not let anything get him down.

But this was even worse. He had and accident Christmas eve and suffered a severe brain injury. He was not expected to make it through the night. He fought like hell for almost three whole months. We lost him on March 14, 2007. I am very proud of him. And I will always love him. I just hope he knew how much I loved him.

Sick Little Girl

My 5 year old, poor baby, I think she has pink eye. Her poor little eye is almost swollen shut. I think it might be pink eye. We are going to the doctor in a little while. There is nothing I hate worse than when my kids are sick. They want you to make them feel better and sometimes you just can't. This is one of those times. There is just not a whole lot you can do until you get to the doctor.

I did find some information that may be helpful. Kidshealth.org has alot of useful information.

This & That

I spend a lot of time on the internet. All of my kids are in school, so most of the day I spend surfing. Sometimes I am looking for things that may help them in school, or something different to cook for dinner, ways to organize there rooms, how to fix something, ect... Anyway I am sure I am not the only one doing this, so I thought I might could save some of you some time by getting that info in one spot. At least, some of it.
