my secret weapon

for doing well while LCing... WATER! its great stuff..
moi.. today.. 

who DRESSES this boy...

oh.. he does it himself... ...
sebastian the other day... wow.. bit of grass under that rain and snow...
its snowing again today... and tomorrow...
buh bye grass...:-( 

not sure if you can see it...

but this is my road... on my walk the other day... in the upper right corner is my property... in the lower left corner is the creek that usually is so low that you dont even SEE it... let alone raging like this... and as you can see the road is being washed away...
fortunately it didnt get too bad, and i got to walk ... 

from the other days walk...

like i said... it was uh... kinda wierd to walk while the CREEK (crick for yall in idaho) was runnin so fast and deep that it spilled over to the road ... and was kinda eating it away... 

its been a while

moi, today... sans the chefs hat..
nevermind.. ya had to be there..*L* 

three luckiest guys in the world...

this lady would have mowed THEM down instead of hitting us if they had been there a couple of seconds sooner..
after the funeral of his mom... poor moon didnt need this lady to hit his moms car.... (here he is trying to tell her he needed her insurance info.,.. she didnt speak english very well.... ) 

utah mountains....

on the utah freeway... with moon trying to macgiver the trailer hitch that fell off going sixty on the freeway... cause the guy didnt make sure the thingy was secure...

very scary to feel a hit from behind...(especially after a lady just hit us in a parking lot a couple days before) and then see all the sparks and flames as the hitch drug on the freeway.....

i'm not so sure having moons moms car is going to be alot of fun...... 

buddies...

what the HECK? yeah.. that IS a stair stepper outside they are looking at...
okay... maybe they are looking at the snow..... ... doesnt matter.. they sure are cute! 

couldnt resist

awwwwwwww he is SO cute...
oh... and thats not a bear... thats petie ... and he isnt THAT big.. odd camera angle i guess.. 

the baby...

climbing on my couch to look out the window....
have i said this before? I LOVE THIS CHILD!! 

not cool...

moon and the cruncher lady...
moms poor car..... crunched..... all for a CARLSJR. LOWCARB burger i had to have...:-( 

lady that hit us...

in the carlsjr. parkinglot.... givin us her insurance info...
hey! nice shot of my finger in the foreground..*L* great camera work kimberly...*L* 

the lady that hit us with her van,,,

only had THIS damage to HER van.... a tiny chunk of plastic out of her taillight,,,, 

not bad for a cell phone pic...

last shot of one of moons moms roses.... i hope whomever moves in and buys her house keeps the rose bush... it would be nice to at least be able to drive by and see it ...beautiful ... 

in tempe arizona

moons moms house... her car (which we now have) ..gonna miss this place... :-( 

the uhaul trailer...

beFORE it came OFF going down the UTAH highway doing SIXTY ....
here... its just parked while we checked out the cool places in northern arizona.. 

these are not little rocks...

that is a HOUSE in the background.... rocks.. and that is a HUGE rock formation that is VERY cool in person...
if you are EVER in northern az... check out the area around LEE'S ferry..
STUNNING scenery,... 

uh oh...

snow in northern arizona... we have no studs.. no chains...and yet we are in snow already.... yikes! 

somewhere in UTAH...

on the way home... kinda cool looking mountain eh? just so bizzare to see a mountain like that in the middle of that flat land... and it looks like a bunch of buildings on top that got covered with the soil making up the mountain... utah is cool looking... 

northern az

on new years day... kinda cool eh? looks like CONDOS that are covered in dirt...
okay... i know... i have an over active imagination...
on our drive home from phoenix 

this is what it looks like

when you drive through southern idaho without studs...okay... fine...it looks like this even WITH studs... but we didnt have em on the trip home from az... 

yesterday...

all my troubles seemed so far away...

oh.. where was i?

sorry.. gotta love that beatles tune eh?

wrinkly crinkly eye shot of the day... yesterday.... 

moi...cheesy shot of the day...

actually... cheesy shot of YESTERDAY...
oddly enough... daughter1 was asked by me to trim one half inch to an inch off the back of my hair today.... she cut TWO OR THREE inches off the back..
its okay.. it still will go in a pony tail... and the ends were basically fried ....
but in the interest of full disclosure... just wanted to know that while from the FRONT it still looks like this.. the BACK is a little shorter... even though ya really cant tell the difference... 

what do you get when you put SNOW and a CHILD together?

yeppers... a SNOW angel... of course!
what else? *L* 

25 miles per hour..

yeah.. like ANYONE does THAT on this road...
okay... maybe when its covered with ICE.. but not normally!
sebastian makes us go to this tree to read the numbers everytime we go for a walk...
today was no exception.. 

the baby..

i think he needs a SCARF!!

will you check out those EYES....
my baby boy... aint he cute... 

i know.. i know..

ive said it before... but GOD i love this child!
givin gram a branch... (no daisies in sight *L*) 

hmmmmmm

the baby seems to think he knows how to run the snowmobile...
i dont THANK so...
anywho... he couldnt see outta that snowcoverediceladen WINDSHIELD even if he DID use it...*L* 

heading out..

sebastian and i were heading out for a climb up the moutntain today... 

poor me...

i have to LIVE here..*L*
our yard today...
stunning isnt it? 

WOW!

yes... unbeLIEVEAbly enough... after the snow storm comes the beautiful IDAHO BLUE (as my mom used to call it) SKY...
today... (dont mind the ugly big white truck down there on the bottom... i have BEGGED moon to get rid of that junker truck and a couple more of them... but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he woooooooooooooooont...

where was i?
oh.. okay.. our yard today... 

why do i LET this child drag me up this silly mountain?

because it is just utterly GORGEOUS this time of year...
okay.. fine! every time of year... for that matter..

sebastian leading me on a trudge up moms side of the property... 

DONT DO IT!!!

DONT DO IT SEBASTIAN!! dont take off those gloves!!
on moms side of the road... but in the distance.. where it is sunny and bright is OUR side of the property where my house is.. (okay.. FINE! technically it is ALL my property... but i cant get used to not calling this side that mom and dad lived on THIER side..
sue me.. 

too through

sebastian took his gloves off.. and now is finally feeling the effects of the bitter cold..
across the STREET however.. it is a different story...
THERE is the reason moon decided we needed our home on that SUNNY side of the road.. (i wanted it where dad was going to build his house and never did...on THIS dark and dreary side that sebastian is on...
also across the street you can see on the left our CLOVER CLUB potato chip truck... another business we had that sucked *L*
chips were good tho..*L* 

running home!

good GOD its cold out here today... the blue skies belie the fact that it is FREEZING.. sebastian had had enough and his hands got cold... so here he is runnin his little butt home to warm up...
this is the road i usually walk on...
not today! gazelle it is! 

*whew!*

thank GOD... shes HOME...
daughter1 was supposed to come to our house this morning to A) drop off the kiddos for me to watch... and B) to take daughter2 home and then to work as she spent the nite at OUR house which is out of town ONE direction ... to daughter2s which is out of town ANOTHER direction... FROM her house which is out of town yet ANOTHER direction.,..
unfortunately for ME.. she DIDNT show up... at 8 ... when she was supposed to..or 8:30 ..or yes.. even at 8:40..

WHICH is by the way the time I HAD to go take daughter home.. then to work... THEN out of town to daughter1's in search of whether she was stuck in a ditch with the babies..or just couldnt get out of her driveway..

hmmmmm
here is her new car (used..just new to her) ... and yet i am STILL going after her,,,grrrrrrrrrrr
soooooooooooooooo glad she isnt stuck ..or in a ditch...
but here i am ... sittin outside her house... waiting for her to get ready... she overslept....:-(

once a mother... always a mother... 

waiting still

hmmmm how odd.. like mother like daughter i guess.. HER house has a tree growing out of it TOO i guess... never really noticed it ... but here i am WAITING for her to come out... so i noticed how pretty it looks .. 

still waiting....

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... okay.. i admit it..
i am a bit pissy right now... not ONLY did i have to drive over to daughter1's house (she has no phone... i know.. i know... dont even get me STARTED on THAT right now) and NOW i am waiting OUTSIDE while she gets ready... at this point i didnt realize the kiddos had spent the night at her friends house... so i was waiting THINKING i was waiting for THEM.. not for HER to get her butt up and out the door for work..:-(

oh well.. i would have waited ANYWAY ... so that i KNEW for sure she got out of her driveway and to town okay... 

hmmmm

 

heading off to get the kiddos...

daughter1 is going too fast here i think ,,grrrrrrrr
cant even see her.. and I am the one with STUDS and she is the one with just all weather tires..:-(
anywho... got her up and this is her driveway heading to town... 

creepy square clouds....

heh heh... okay its the window glare and the reflection of the lights in the hospitol...
outside the spokane hospitol moon got his cath done yesterday.. 

spokane washington

this was yesterday at the heart institute..
picture is out the window.. so some glare... but you get the drift...it was a NASTY drive from here to there...:-( 

someones not happy...

waited from 7a.m till 9:30 to get this show on the road...
for someone who cant sit still for five minutes... this isnt fun... and the expression says it all 

after the cath...

oh man... its so hard to see moon look so out of it... but he is okay... so thats the MAIN thing! 

do NOT attempt this at home..

buried bike... not easy to ride... 

downtown

mainstreet... my town...
yeppers.. that WOULD be snow piled up in the MIDDLE of the road ... nearly six feet high...
roads dont look all that great either... do they.,..? 

my room

yes... i DO sleep under the blue skies and clouds and surrounded by palm trees and leaves....
doesnt EVERYbody? 

hmmmm

wellllll... this is where the PARK is ... ya know... the nice little park i take the baby to... the one that was all sunny and fun looking just a few weeks ago.... rode his bike.. played on the merry-go-round... swang on the swings (is swang a word? looks weird in print...)

where was i?
anywho... where that BIG tree is .. is the park...

there will be no swinging today! 

if you look close at the house..

you can see the BIG FLAKES coming down as we speak...
how did i know that? .. because i just checked out the door so i could whine to rhonda how i have to drive tonite in this..*L* THANKS RHONDA!!! 

oh NOOOOOOOOOOO

its snowing aGAIN!!
ack.... and we have to drive to town in this ... :-( 

moi

today..
ick... yucky straight hair... (i curled it some later... ) 

CHOCOLATE MILK????

oh man... why did i let his mom pick his drink?
alllllll sugared up.... :-(

love this yamaha hat 'bastian has on...

at our little hometown cafe.... having breakfast today 

SOMEBODY is tired...

and has a cold...
here is sebastian at the resturaunt attached to where his mom works (its a bar resturaunt)
we went there for breakfast today... 

another thing i love...

THIS GAME!! oh .. yeah... and the PROJECTOR tv that allows me to watch basketball the size of my ENTIRE big ole huge empty white wall ... as you can see here.. that is the kitchen in the background .. the screen covers an enormous wall... and what really could be better actually... then watching CHRIS WEBBER that size *grin*... 

built in snowmobiling trail,,,,

our driveway...
moon and dider 

must be nice!

nothing like coming home from school and having your papa (grandfather) take ya snowmobiling!
moon and dider today,,,headin out 

not exactly the EASIEST place to walk

but.. i managed to do it anyway... i REAAAAAAAAAALLY need to get some of those thingamajigs that have spikey dealybobbers on them so that i dont slip and fall and ruin my knee again,,,, 

awwwwwwwwwwww

SOMEbody wants to go outside and play in the snow... 

moon and sebastian ...

plowing our driveway....
better him than me! 

how odd...

looks like my house is crooked.. or falling over.. or SOMETHING... but .. nevertheless.. what i wanted to show was.. LOOK at the SIZE of those FLAKES will ya! 

i thought we got six inches...

but when it was all said and done... more like TEN or ELEVEN inches of the white stuff... 

surrounded by trees and snow...

shot of my yard today... 

optical illusion?

kinda looks like the blippin trees are on top of our house ...doesnt it? ... well...they ALMOST are... we have a couple feet between my house and the MOUNTAIN with the BOULDERS and the TREES....

am i the only person that seems troubled by this? 

one of the LESS fun things about snow...

papa and baby doing the plowing of the driveway.... although the baby looks pretty chipper about the whole thing... 

snow!

petie up to his ...um... his.... ah... *ahem*.. his TUSH in the white stuff...
while diders bike has a ten inch layer of snow cushioning the seat for him.... 

ABOMINAL SNOWMAN?

nope... just petie finding out today that when a dog is as small as he is....it doesnt pay to go out in 10 inches of snow! 

poor petie...

he looks totally bewildered by this new snow...not to mention COLD! 

on my walk today....

holy cow! i musta slipped and did the splits about 5 times or more on my walk today...
was it worth it? oooooooooooooh yeah...
just LOOK at how beautiful! 

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

buds .... 

as much as he gets thrashed on by sebastian..

the pup still protects him while he sleeps.. .:-) 

after a long nite watching the snow come down

this is what sebastian and petie look like... i guess he was up to late... but when i saw the joy on his face watching the beautiful snow come down ...he said.. THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!

yeah.. so we sat and watched it together till very late.. while everyone else slept...

and i would do it again.,..in a heartbeat..:-) 

after staying up till midnite to watch the snow...

this is what it looks like out my front window (yeah.. that ugly window...looks like a trailer window... ick..)
where was i?
oh.. yeah... GORGEOUS shot of my driveway this morning...

heh heh... yeah.. its GORGEOUS since i DONT have to drive in it today...*grin*... 

uh,,,, dont think sebastian will be riding his bike today...

right out the doorway... bike is buried... can ya see where my little neon was? see that little tiny driveway? yep... falls off on EITHER side into the creek below...
cool eh? ... and its a CIRCULAR drive... so either way you go... you STILL have equal opportunity to land in the creek.... 

out the front window shot..

okay.. that looks wierd.... the odd looking contraption over the shed is actually attached to the HOUSE and is the dish thingy....
anywho... as you can see... there was alot of snow last nite...
see that tree missing its top in the left corner.. ? its missing its TOP because it SNAPPED and fell over last year ..... hit the house.. scared the bejezzus outta us... ... and STILL the tree is there.. ICK! so ugly..
yeah yeah... you know the drill... "I will cut it down .......later.....honey....really.... honest.... uh huh... yep... sure.... yes.. i am LISTENING ... "

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrright... .:-) 

just took this picture a couple minutes ago...

dont mind moons ugly truck... what i wanted you to see is... my FAVORITE tree... aint it purdy? right there by my house.. (horrors! i am surrounded by big ole trees that could hit us at any time! ack!) ...
where was i?
oh yeah... my purdy tree.. moon has tried to burn it down several times..(not intentionally of course... but while burning slash) that of course would be grounds for DIVORCE! *L* 

out my back door...

as you can see... there is a NICE pillow of six inches of snow on those table thingys outside.... 

last day of november...

woke up to about 6 inches of snow here in the idaho panhandle... 

this is what petie looks like

when moon is eating a turkey leg just out of his reach *L* 

the first of a few things that i really REALLY love..

the green polish crystal vase... (yep.. the thing with the two dollar bill inside..*L*) my mom gave it to me... several years ago... i love the color... the shape... and the fact that my polish mother found me a polish vase *L*...
now SOMEbody tell me what daughter2s beads from some silly bar party are doing in it *L* 

another thing that makes me happy

i love my HUGE lion fountain... it holds a couple gallons of water... i have it hanging on the wall in my office... 

up closer shot

yeah... i AM a leo... what else would i have but a LION fountain? 

one of my VERY favorite things...

my lady dancer sculptural type thingy... shes beautiful... and graceful... and a joy to look at ... shes about two feet tall.... i LOVE it.. 

another favorite thing..

my sculptural thingys.. .. the lion and the angel... and of course anything with leaves.... 

in my bedroom....

my favorite collection of those balls they use for floats or something ..*L* from alaska... my sister gives me...(the blue ones) and my MARBLE balls that i love the feel of (nice and cool and smooth to the touch) on a shelf (thats a mirror behind it... in my cloud painted room... always blue skies for me if i need em! 

in my office...

my KIMS SANCTUARY sign.. sister made the leaf sign.. daughter1 made the KIMS SANCTUARY sign for me.,.. the GIGANTIC PEAR? ahhhhhhhhh thats one of my ALL time favorite things.. just a hallowed out gourd that i glazed gold... its HUGE about a foot tall not including the stem....
yeah..pears are one of my obsessions... 

in my office

my favorite little green tv... i had it at the pizza shoppe... really love the clear acrylic green ....matches my ivy ya know *L* 

SOMEbody wants my pepperjack cheese

petie givin me that "oooooh i can be cute when i want to " look... 

a face only a mother could love...

petie... showin that vicious tooth action...*L* 

sebastian and petie

it LOOKS like he is crushing the pup... but he isnt... but he sure doesnt give that poor pup a inch to breath! *L* 

poor petie

being terrorized by sebastian using him as a horse for his baby (teddybear) 

here in the idaho panhandle..

my view out the front door...
purdy aint it? 

today

just shot this out the front door... bit of the blue skies ... but apparently more snow all week is on the way.... 

ahhhhhhhhh HA!

if you look real close you can see that sebastian (the human whirlwind) has spied me! i am playing his favorite rob thomas song on my laptop (there in the right corner)
notice that he is a BLUR! that child never sits still for one MOMENT if he isnt sleeping!
phil at the radio station keeps him all sugared up when he goes there with papa... they have a big bowl of candy... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 

this is it now.. everybody get down.. this is all i can take

this is how a heart breaks!
sorry... had to sing the rob thomas song for ya... which is what sebastian is doing right here at my laptop watching the little video i downloaded of his favorite song...

ooooooooh.. and LOOK! you can see my mug and little table where i am sitting RRRRRRRRRRIGHT now as we speak...

suddenly he is all better!

yeppers! the little ham poses now for photos...

quick little snow fall

didnt stick around long... but there it is nevertheless... snow on my walk today... made it INTERESTING to say the least...
nothing like trying to walk on ice and snow with regular ol tennis shoes... (okay.. they ARENT tennis shoes... they are walking shoes.. but i CALL any shoe i have that USED to be called tennis shoes that...

where was i?
oh... not too pretty right now... fall is over... and now comes the cold winter...
not much fun walking in it... 

the edge of the world...

okay,.. not the WORLD exactly... but MY world... if i slip on the icy road and fall off the side...
of course i would be stopped by the HOUSE below... but then i would be mauled by the pair of VICIOUS WILD animals below...
okay... its two wiener dogs... but dang they are wicked! *L*

anywho... taken on my walk today... cloudy and cold... with ice remaining from the quick snow shower we got this morning.. 

here he comes!

darlin honeymoon coming down our road to pick me up from walking today...
ya cant see it very well... but it was COVERED with icy slop (highly technical term) i almost turned around because i started sliding and slipping from the first few steps... but i forged on... staying on the side where the rocks were more prominent... 

my darlin honeymoon

moments before being wheeled away to have the CATH on his heart...
man! how is he always so damned chipper *L* 

moon after cath

the human whirlwind...headed out for our daily walk 

petie chasing mama kitty again

as usual... he loses in the deal... 

out of order...

but i wanted to add this shot of the human whirlwind... excaped from the fenced area of the tennis court... and is taking his bike upHILL... off for the BIG huge brick fence again no doubt.. 

out of order here...

but i had to add this pic of sebastian today at the park... uh... sebastian...honey... the deal is... ya get ON the merry go round... and have someone ELSE push *L* 

AGHHHHHHHHHH

do not attempt this at home.. or anywhere ELSE for that matter... used some tanning lotion that my nail tech offered for me to try... AGHHHHHHHHHHH fried to a crisp... anyway... here i am in the tanning room... trying to get the tan i had before i went to alaska back *L*... why do i NEED it you ask? because i saves a zillion dollars in NYLONS of course *L* 

cheesy shot of the day

me driving home after tanning today...
yeah..my face ISNT all white like most of the pictures.. seeeeeeeeeeeeee i TAN a few times a week... 

LOOKS like a DISNEY movie...

yet it is not... just moon and sebastian... and the mama kitty and petie strolling down the road in front of our house today...
yeppers... that WOULD be the EDGE of the road that falls off into the creek that sebastian is hugging once again...:-(
that kid thrives on danger... 

today on our walk

sebastian pretty dang happy he made it up on this stump.... the fact that it is on the EDGE of the cliff AGAIN seems to make him even happier...:-( 

see a tree limb...

gotta pick it up and swing it around..no matter HOW big it is.. 

when ya take your grandson for a walk...

how IS it that he can find the ODDEST things to do while ON that walk? these are some weird HUGE rocks down our road... 

the human whirlwind

moon says he is ALL boy...
not sure what that means... does it mean that ALL boy is a state in which a little boy drives his gram nuts on a regular basis? 

LOOK AT ME!

sebastian making his gram nervous climbing on the big rocks down the road on our walk today.. 

ack!

I CANT LOOK! petie went even higher.....
