Thoughts That Im Pondering

Wow I have made it here again !
I am going to get better at blogging and getting my feelings out ..after all this is my safe haven ! No one knows about this blog (For a reason )
Things have been crazy here on the Ranch (I love living on the ranch ) with the anmials with our friends and with just life . It seems that there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done that needs doing
I have fallen a couple of times and I am in a moon boot with PT getting ready for SURGERY of my ankel ! Believe it or not I am looking forward to this up coming surgery ! I am sick of falling and always hurting myself cause my ankels (yes thats both of them ) roll all the time, so if surgery can stop it then I am game (plus for the pain to stop for real ) The above Pic is of my ankel and how it sits w/o a brace or moon boot ! Its pretty gross looking dont you think ?
Then I had a duck that was attacked by a coon ! Fuddy Duddy Da Buddy Duck ! His eye and mouth were affected in this attack by the coon ! My hubby and I found Duddy the next morning I called all sorts of vets and was told that they dont take care of PEKIN DUCKS and if they did it would be hundreds of dollars so I just might as well put Duddy down (I was told Duddy is a dime a dozen ) I think not and I wouldnt accept that at all. I got smart I called a wild anmail reabilation place talked to a vet (a good one with a heart ) she told me what to do ! So Duddys treatment began !Antibotics (Force fed ) Baby food . sevral times a day ! Baths showers poping of the infected area ! Guess what it worked Duddy was getting better ! It was 2 weeks and Duddy started to go sdown hill he couldnt see he became depressed and he gave up ! His other eye got infected and there was nothing we could do. After bringing him in and kenneling him doing his care and everything I lost Duddy (heart breaking )

I became very depressed I had put everything I had in getting Duddy better and I couldnt stop the process of what was going on with Duddy ! I began to mope around I wouldnt take phone calls I wouldnt even go shopping ( I felt that I failed my duck and there was nothing I could do to shake the feeling of failing ) My wonderful husabnd picked up on how very sad I was and moved into action to make me feel betterYou see my husband knows I have to be taking care of somthing or someone to feel complete so he got on the computer and started looking around for baby ducks .He found this place 100 miles away and took me on a date (I didnt know he was taking me to go get a duck I went but wasnt in it . Hubby just went along with it until we reached the farm ! Once there he told me Ok Pita it is time to cheer you up .were here so that you can pick your own baby duck ! I was so excited not only about the duck but cause my husband knows me and was trying to make the hurt not so bad ! He wasnt replacing Duddy (He couldnt ) he was giving me and my heart anthor baby to take care of :) So we looked at just hatched ducks (I didnt want one they were to small ) then we looked at 1 week olds (they were to small still ) we went to 2 and 3 week olds too .Then I saw my duck running around acting a mess doing things the others were not ! ( I have to have uniqe anmails ) I watched him and watched him .As I watched him I felt that ever present tugging of my heart :) I know that this lil stinker running around and chearping not honking was mine God gave me that sign ! We paid for the duck 5 bucks and left ! I refused to have a box I held DOOBIE all the way home ! I kenneled him in the house (Just so he would become fimuliar with me and hubby ) then Hubby and I made a tempory cage outside for during the day (until DOOBIE feathers out ) Here is a pic of Doobie

Doobie was got not only for me but for our 1 eyed house duck Lucy ! ( you have to understand we let Lucy go during the day in the back yard but she is kenneled in the house at night ) Lucy is a riot she is hubbys duck ! Lucy has her own story and is UNIQUE in her own way ! When we got Lucy we didnt know what sex she was until she started laying eggs ! Once we found out that she was really a girl then we wanted to get a boy friend for her (step up Doobie ) they are both the same type of duck so next year we are hoping maybe to get lil Lucy and Lil Doobies next year ! Ill keep up with the blog with Doobies growing and when the two of them become friends
I will show you a pic of Hubbys duck LucyLast time I blogged I talked of a friend that was in ICU ! It was found out that this friend had a stroke and bleeding anurisum and he was rushed into BRAIN surgery ! I am pleased to report that the friend is home ! He has alot of recovering to do but he is truly a MIRCLE ! His children are taking care of him ! Life goes on and on and that I am thankful for ! I couldnt imange his children losing him (they lost thier Mom to cancer ) I prayed harder then I ever have on the childrens behalf ! A blessing that our friend made it through this ! A Mircle that has been given to us through our friend ! I am telling you Mircles happen every day !

Thats about it right now I have to get ready to go to work and get my day started I also need to take some pics of DOOBIE cause he is starting to get feathers now ..On his lil butt and I want to record everything about him and his growing

Ed and I are still talking adopting ! We are not sure where we are going to turn or how were going to do it (Money Wise ) ! If it is ment to be I do belive that God will show us the way ! All Ed and I know is that we want to give a child our love ! Hubby and I are really leaning towards a down syndrome baby ! We will stay in prayer and follow our gods lead ! If it happens it dose if not then that isnt the plan that God has in store for us !

Ok now I am really leaving ! I hope your day is full of sunshine and BELLY LAUGHS !

Changes In A Blink Of The Eye

Dont you think it is crazy how life changes in a blink of the eye or a neno second ? Yesterday Ed and I learned that a dear friend L had been rushed the the hospital the day prior (he was cooking outside and passed out ). It is later found out that it is serious .so serious L has had brain surgery (Im waiting on results now from L daughter ) Ed and I will be going to the hospital later this evening to be with the family.
Its crazy Ed just talked to L the other day ..and then he is in serious condition and is having brain surgery . Im telling you this has schook me to the core ! It seems that all around us our friends are truly falling ..times seem hard ..money is tight ..bills are do ..repairs need to be made ..the list goes on and on ..I just am wondering when the clif around me is going to stop eroarding away ..when can it feel like everything is in a free fall ! Ill tell you that L is a good friend has been for years and for this to happen is devasating to me as a whole ! I want to run and help his children (they already lost thier Mom to cancer a couple years back ) I cant imange how they are feeling or what they are feeling (they watched and took care of thier mom until she became a angel ) my heart bleeds and my tears over flow. How do I help those kids ? how do I make things better then they are for them right now ? How do I give them strenth when I feel so weak ? How dose is all this going to turn out ? My mind wonders to places it shouldnt be . My heart hurts deep inside DEEP? All this seems so sencless and has so much heart ake ..it mind blowing Im telling you .Yes I pray you better belive it ..but there has to be more there has to be somthing that Ed and I can help with but we cant find it ..I didnt sleep well last night my minds been racing and Im just tore up .
I have told aone person (my best freind ) . I know I am safe here no one reads this blog and no one knows who L is so I can talk . Its so hard to think about as well as write about . O know one thing I want L to be alright ..I want those children to have their only living parent ..I want our friend to be there ... I want to be there to encourge L and his children ...I want to have open arms for his hurting children ...I want alot that has nothing to do with me ..Ill do anything and what god insturcts my heart to do ..Its just so hard and gut wrenching ! L has 5 kids for 16 to 23 this is what keeps laying on my heart ...I dont understand any of this and am asking why these kids have to go through the life changing events that have endured..I have to admit I am scared of what the out come will be ..I almost want to hide from it you know? Then on the other hand I know how strong L is and how he LOVES his children .L is a fighter so I Belive in L and his strenth

Here latly we both have been getting the we need to be parents we need to open our heart and our minds and home to a child that is so needs to be loved . To be honest I dont know where this is going to take Ed and I .I know we wont become foster parents ever again with that I know that Ed and I would make good parents and have a loving home to raise a child wether it be a baby toddler or what have you but what I do know is that there is a desire in our hearts for a child like never before

Introducing The Wonderful Loving Candi To You

Since all my last post have been so negtive and thats so not me . I decided to go back to the reasons why I started this sight ...To Bring Awarness To Lots Od Causes ...To Share My Ranch And The Anmials with you you alll ..To be the free loving person that I havnt been able to be (due to stress )

I have finally figured out that I can let the stress and ugliness consume me ...or I can be the persont that you all know me to be ...so I chose to be ME and not let the ulgy nasty drama to consume me any longer

So with no more inturptions I am Introducing our newest member to the Ranch

I can tell you that if she loses sight of me she freaks out ...Bahhiinggg witch is so cute ...her Bahhhuhhh makes me giggle ..hers is defently diffrent from all my other goats ..but her like Skulls are weakings the are cared for by a humans not anamils they are truly special and the best goats I have ever had

We tried to Kennel Candi last night . Nope didnt work (more then you know she freaked out ) so I had to sleep on the couch and have her right there or she would bello like her heart is breaking .

I Would wake up with her on me ...Ohhh I dont wanna hear it she had a area that was prepaired for her to lock her in .but she had to have a phycal touch at all times of me ...I would fall asleep and she move I guess and I would find her on top of me ...yes I did you better belive it she is scared a new place with lots of anmails lol

ED and I are building a fence around dog house out there (Its Huge ) so that I can get her and Skulls out toghter ...have them bond as they grow up you know ...but Ed and I have to be careful we were given a pool .

A Delima With In My Mind

I am really worried about my Mom in the last month she has been in the hospital for drug overdoses ..I dont write this out in the public for my Moms dignity but the longer this crapp goes on the harder it is to understand
I rember growing up and Mom either always being drunk or high on pills or drugs off the street she was never there for any of my school fuctions and always beat me ..(I forgave her for these things long ago ) I had to the hate was eating me up I couldnt funtion at all ..
Then the last year my Mom has been in the hospital 13 or 14 times all in ICU and 6 or 7 times on the vent and life support ..One time I went rushing home and knew this was it with Mom but she pulled through it even though her heart is workin at 49% and she is in stage 1 liver fauiler
My husband and I have tried to get my Mom to come live with us so that I could care for her I am a PCA (personal care attendent ) and have been for 15 years or so but to my begging pleading crying begging some more my Mom will not come out to be with hubby and I ...when we can give her a better life here
My siblings are just horrable to my Mom I cant stand it one is POA and is sick and tired of Mom ODing all the time ..I did get my Mom to list me second on MPO (medical Power Of Attorney ) so that when Mom is left in the hospital I can direct what I want done here from Kansas
My sister is just horrable she talked to the docter infront of my Mom for 30 minutes telling them what a horrable person that she is cause she cant stop oding ...That was tacky and had all the staff treating my Mom not to good and looking at her like a druggie ..Im LIVID over this my sister should of had some cooth and took the docters out of the room ..besides that she is a drunk so hpw can a drunk judge a druggie ??? I dont do drugs ..I learned from my family they are all druggies .with the exception of my brother
Hubby and I went to Az to spend some time with my Step Mom and we were having a blast with my family there ...I was hounded by my moms side of the family I was dogged out and told I choose them over family...now wait a minute how the heck do you choose family over family ...Then my Mom ODed again I was 1 state away but I wasnt going to go running for the docters nurses and cops were all involved and I knew that there would bed drama out where my Mom was I am Bi Polar and cant handle stress and I am on meds I also have panic attacks so to go to where Mom was was out of the qustion for me so hubby high tailed it home ...on the way home the police officer called me and wanted some information on my Mom I gave him everything that I had including a prior report number well he found out that mom is scared of my sister he asked me and I siad yes when she was drunk (I belive sister has hit Mom ) and said so ...my mother told me so I was trying to protect Mom from abuse
Boy all them marbles went all over the place brother was mad at me after he gave the police my phone numbers and he told him to call me ...how the heck can he be mad and cut me out of my mothers life and his as well ..Its ok to be angry with me and I can take the anger but the silence is deafning they are pushing me out I am the bad one for trying to prtect my Mom
I went to Az last month and I had one call telling me that brother is poa and that he wont call me and tell me nothing about my Mom and if she dies well tough nails cause I wont be called nor will I be given what my Mom has set aside for me .witch I dont care a rats tush about meterial things mean nothing to me at all I want my Mom
Now yes I am very upset that Mom cant give up her drugs even after being begged she refuses help and will do no rehab so I know that my Mom is going to pass soon
Whats the big deal I am angry and hurt and I dont know how to go about it or what to do about it ..I have been crying depressed mean not wanting to talk to no one besides my hubby I talk to him about everything
So the qustion is what do I do ? How do I help? How dose the anger go away ? even though I truly understand for 30 years my Mom has been doing drugs and its a monkey on her back
How do I get my siblings to see that even if they are mad at me that I deserve to have a part in my mothers life .Even if they dont want to be a part of my life? How do I stop the sinking feeling everytime the phone rings ? I just dont know !!!

Just Things Going Through My Mind

Hi....

I am here cause I have some things to get off my mind ,,,(and this is my only privite blog ) ..I dont even know if anyone reads these blogs or not ...but they help me rid myself of some burdons persay (I am Bi Polar) and I cant handle alot of things at the same time and I wanna eun them by myself to process them

The frist one is that my mother did have a heart attack but it was brought on by drugs (she is a drug addict to the core 30 years I know of ) I have prayed for her over the years but she wants no other life then being in a haze and not knowing who you are to knocking on heavens door ..( do you get into heaven for ODing) this has weighed heavy on my mind for months anyways when they took my mother in ..she was bruised her eye looked gauged out and the hospital was hollering abuse !!! Ok now let me give you a back ground my mother is on coumuidn (Blood Thinner) she has 2 replaced knees and a foot that has metal coming out of it ..she is to walk with a walker but she dosnt she falls all the time you touch her and she briuses ...well good ol brother of mine got called the police did too and they went to my Moms house ..found all sorts of pills there is where my brother gave them my name and number so that they could talk to me (why Im in Kansas I have no idea whats going on there ) all the while my Mom is at the hospital alone transfered and in ICU alone for 2 flippen days enough of that though the cops call me and I tell them the TRUTH that there is a anthor report and my sister has been accused of this as well ...well hell fire the world coming down cause I told the truth and the cop followed through on it ...in the mean time my brother is getting ready to have a child and has just told me to take a flying leap I will never hear from him or if my Mom is sick or even if she dies he is her power of attorney ..slam the phone goes

Fasr Forward to present my brother whom I raised has had his child and has yet to call me to tell me about the baby a picture ...Oh Im so hurt by this I havnt been able to sleep ...and the only way I was able to see the pics of my nephew was to go the sight and see the pics the baby looks like my brother though ..but what a way to see my nephew ..I am really more hurt then anything and just need a place to blow some steam w/o it being thrown in my face just like brothers dad left me a email while all this was going on telling me he knows it is hard to keep my emotions in check cause I am Bi Polar ..oh did he ever piss in my weaties ...using Bi Polar to throw his crap in my face with the excuss of me being Bi Polar infurates me I am on meds I do caouncling I work on myself daily to be a good person then for him to throw Bi Polar in my face wants to make me vomit Bi Polar all over him ..he has no idea how bipolar effects me nor would he take his time to (so glad he is a STEP parent ) My Father passed of cancer 3 years ago july

Then there is my hubbys bobbleheaded family I am seriously talking bobbleheaded family I dont get along with nopne of them they are all fake get what they can out of you then talk caca on you while your back is turned ...Hubbys Bobbleheaded sister in law and I got in it over a dog that I got her off of CL I walked out I had nothing to say and all I could do was keep from rippong her tounge out cause I asked to go to a new conversatin but bobblekead couldnt she had to make her nasty vile mouth run and run

next day I called I thought I called hubbys brother to let him know I wasnt upset with him (even though he is spinless ) and I wouldnt stand in his way of seeing hubby I never have anyways I called bobbleheads phone 1 number diffrent between thier phones and bobblehead tole me she was going to kick my ass (ya right ) that I am all sorts of horrid words and I killed her sister that had cancer that she didnt have time (to get off her back ) or gas money to get their BULLSHIT I took care of her sister and she lived with us cause she was treated like a queen and never stole from while she was here ..just to ease your mind Diane passed in the hospital with me Hubby her nurse and her docter (I didnt kill her by putting a pillow over her head PERIOD )I would of took her cancer if I could there isnt a a day that I dont want her here to have her heartprint in the phycal life

So friday I was coming home from work and Bobblehead runs to the edge of the street and dosnt give me one bird you all she gave me two birds OMG I know she didnt she called me a chioce word I screamed back at her ..what type of outback woods BS is this ? To flip me off and LIE to hubbys brother then hubbys brother now wants to talk to him ...now excuse me he has no back bone wasnt there and just wants to talk to hubby I am byind LIVID Bobblehead dosnt own that street (Its a major ome) and she wants me to go anthor way.her husband wants to talk to my husband (Hahaaahaaaa) hubby dont have time we are buildning a farm ..we are the real deal we wont lie stab or bring drama into your lifes we like smiles friends love honesty compassion respect we give what we are given

I just dont get it I work on myself daily I take my meds 3 of them I am in thearpy I do on line journaling and hand printed ones as well (the stuff I wont put on here ) I try to be the best person I can be I work hard on myselfr and have a amask I have thats protected me ..but right now I just dont know how to react (other then ripping tounges out ) it is hard not to write nor talk caca you know

Eventhoguh I have Bi Polar it dosnt mean you can be mean or do mean things then say that it is my Bi Polar and that is why I am the BAD ONE THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEMS WHEN I WORK HARD TO MAKE IT THOUGH A DAY LET ONLE PICK MY HEAD UP OFF THE PILLOW you have to love me not just parts of me it is so hard to explane I am not in it for the game the drama isnt welome here ...I am all that I am and that is all that I am

ON o Possitive Note here in the next few weeks maybe month or so I will be giving some very EXCITING news (No Im Not Preggers I Cant) but it will be worth the wait I have to do some resource I Cant Wait

Its Hubbys and my 19 year annnversy I will leave you with this pic

A Catch Up For All Of You

Good Morning Sunshines


Frist before I start to blog I want to ask for prayers for Rodney ..he is in a sezior disorder place and they are inducing seziors and Rodney is whiped out .so if you could pray with me that god guide the docters hands and proceeders and are able to give Rodney a better quilty of life .





Now it has been wirlwind crazy busy with me for the last month or so


Frist Ed and I took a trip to Az to go hang out with Momma Shirley, I hadnt seen her since before Daddy passed so for Ed taking me out there to hang out with family that ADORES me was just the best





Momma Shiley and I stayed up late talking about Daddy and she told me lots of things that my Dad just loved about me one being my brown eyes ..Momma said that Daddy loved my eyes (Ive always hated them and wanted blue eyes like my Daddy ) she also said that Dad was so proud of me and that he never wanted Momma Shirley or I to lose contact (got you there Daddy )





Ed and Cutie Pie bonded ...oh it was a dagger through my heart I cried for I feel that I failed him as a wife by not giving him a child ...Momma says I didnt and that Cutie Pie is ment for US FAMILY to raise ..I kinda like that cause Cutie Pie is all that and alil more to me Cutie Pie has wrapped both Ed and I around her finger ..but whats so great is she loves unconditionaly and has no ill opion or will towards me ..thats the best a REAL sister that dosnt judge or spread lies or start drama with the rest of the family ...I do belive god blessed me





There is some HUGE news coming but since Momma Shirley has shit for family then I am not about to go to far into it cause they will start drama with her and if one lays a hand on her I am back in AZ with the full force of police to stop the madness and to make sure all go to jail for a long time that is if they are lucky enough for me not to get ahold of them





Ed and I had a blast in AZ and we didnt have no drama until my Mom had a heart attack then my whole family went bobblehead crazy and started blaming me for things I didnt do all the while my Mom was in the ICU on life support so Ed with Momma Shirleys advice packed our things and got in the truck and got the hell out of AZ


On the way home I was sick I had to have Ed stop so I could puke (Can we say nerves) anyways ED always stoped held my hair as I let loose never complained of the 100 stops he had to make so I could throw up ..then we get to NM and Texas oh my goodness it was a blizzard for 500 plus miles Eds doing all he can to get me home cause that was where I was crying to go HOME where I am safe from the ones who hurt me berate me and start drama


Moms out of the hospital and she is getting stronger but to be honest with you I am loosing my connection with that side of the family and I dont very much care my brother and sister in law had a baby and guess what they didnt send pics tell me or nothing I had to hear it from my MOm who has been very hard on me due to the LIES that my siblings LIES yes LIES


You see they think they are hurting me and to be honest yes they are but what they dont realize is Daddy Don knew this was going to happen he made sure Momma Shirley and I would be close and boy do I see why he devoriced my Mother ..and as hard as that was to type out it is the truth ..Daddy wouldnt lead me or Momma Shirley astray ...


I had a blast with Don as well my 1/2 brother and I look alike think alike treat people alike were so much alike it was fun just hanging with him and spending time and realizing that we are the same


Ed and I have been building a chicken coop well Steve as well and that is coming along just fine ..it is done sept for we need to paint it and do some minor things to it Im loving it 4 dozen chcikens is what we have we still need to build roost and boxes but the chicks are still to small for that so we have alil time to get that done


I am selling Tiny Prince and Peggy Suie (Shes a caca Mom I am bottle feeding both her kids ) Skulls will be staying with me FOREVER he is like a lap dog and he hugs you with his head in your neck ...he is so so sweet I have 4 people off of criags list that want the goats so we shall see where that goes


I am going to Nats tonight to see my girl PUNKY it has been a minute since we last saw her and she defently has me wrapped


Oh speaking of wraped Ed got Cutie Pie A Easter Dress shoes tights a lil purse and a hat along with some easter basket stuffers I was so very proud of him he only got her one candy and Ed and I are finding ourselfs in the cloths section for girls all the time ohhh and ohhhing


I maybe buying a new car I hope I dont jinx myself but I am wanting this car so bad its a a hatch back camerie I need it to tranzport my anmails and thier feed I dont have to have a sporty car just a car to get me from a to b and to be able to haul stuff for the ranch


Thats about it in a nut shell I wanted to get this journal up so you could check the pics out that I put up and know alil behind the story


I will NEVER EVER go to Ca EVER so if you live in Ca I am sorry that is a state that I am staying away from far far away
