❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥Someone Asked Why?❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥
Super women took a nose dive into the ground. She hit with such force she was buried for weeks. A heavy equipment operator was called in by God. He dug till he found her. She was still breathing but emotionally frail.
He took one look at her and he felt something he has never felt before. So when God said take care of her and love her......he did. He tried to walk away but couldn't....God filled him with an abundance of all the qualities he already possessed and said use these now to help her grow to her full potential as one day you will need what she has to give......
So he put her on a pedestal and kept her dusted and polished for years. Everyday he would polish and shine her and gave her everything he had inside as God instructed.
As the years slowly passed........and she shined like the brightest star in the sky......(He did an awesome job).....but now he was slowly losing himself.
She asked God with tears in her eyes " where is he going?" God said "he is going back to where he first came. It's a long hard journey and he needs you to help him get there safely."
I will give you an abundance of all you need to help him on his journey back to me, for that is where he came from.
So to those who ask why? Because I believe in fairy tales...He is my knight in shining armor...... He literally guarded me with his life.....

Yesterday 8:30 AM...Lilly, Maggie and I headed for town...Lilly had an appointment to be spayed. Maggie went with so she could see where I was taking her sister. I knew she would be really mad at me no matter what but I felt better knowing she knew WHERE I left Lilly.
I was right. All day Maggie glared at me. If looks could kill.......And if I went near her she would show me her teeth.........And no....she wasn't smiling. She stuck close to Tom but not at all her happy self.
Tom wasn't a whole lot better. He was mope-y all day but at least he didn't bare his teeth at me. : ) Yeah we all missed Lilly. Tom called two - three times to see how she was doing.
8 AM sharp this morning, Tom wakes me up and said..... "it's time to get up" I said "WHAT, I can't get her till 10:00." ........I didn't argue or try to reason. I drug myself out of bed. Made coffee and brought Tom his in bed. Than I seen his ashtray by the bed. Okay, so he was awake all night stewing over Lilly. GEEZE.......
I went a little early and ran some errands before I picked up Lilly. She was happy to see me. They said she was a sweetheart......and all went well. And home we went.
Maggie was so happy to see Lilly and Lilly was all happy to be home and I walked into the kitchen and there on the counter, in amongst a big MESS, was two plates. On the plates were scrambled eggs, canned deer meat and cheese melted on top.
Mmmmm Looked pretty good!
THAN Tom picks up the two plates and says " look here my girls what Dad made for you!".......... Lilly and Maggie enjoyed their breakfast ....... of coarse. I'm thinking, where's mine?
I seen he made fresh coffee so I dug my way through the mess on the counter and found me a cup of coffee. Than I sat back and watch Tom spoil and baby the girls. He loves them so much! Than he admitted he called the vet to see if I had been there yet and they said we had just left so he whipped up the breakfast for the girls.
LATER.......Tom was talking to his sister...telling her how he made the girls breakfast..... I piped in and said "yah but NOT anything for me".... Toms face turned red and said "I didn't make anything for myself either" ha ha ha.... The look on his face when I said that was "PRICELESS"
First of February... "oh my!" Where did the days go? : ) We've managed to stay busy the rest of January...
Sanj and Sal came out one morning and spent the day helping us get the cob webs out of the house. It wasn't something I could do myself and the project was too big for Tom to fathom. But I didn't tell Tom till the girls were here. He laughed when I told him what was up. He loves them both and their great sense of humor so the day was prosperous and FUN!
Tom hasn't cut his hair for a year and has a full beard. Well the day after the house got a going over he decided it was time for the beard and hair to go too. Took a few days for all of us to get use to the new look.
Tom always wore this hat in the house that he had removed the brim from to keep his hair out of his eyes. I noticed him still wearing it but figured he either didn't like the way I cut his hair or he was just use to wearing that hat and felt naked without it.
The third day after his hair cut he was watching TV in the bedroom as he does like clock work at 5:PM every night (the local news). He called me in there........ I said "what's up" He looked at me and said "I JUST realized I don't need to wear this hat anymore to keep my hair out of my eyes. Geeze..what a retard!" ha ha ha......We both burst out laughing together!
Oh My .............Time sure does fly by when your sitting on a teeter-totter and hoping the other person doesn't jump off while your in the air.........."BOREDOM"
Boredom is bad in the middle of winter when there isn't many options of something to do that interests the "SIGNIFICANT" other. That would be the loved one with EOAD. But we've muddled through the last couple of weeks unscathed by it all.
We took a few rides to no-where and back....He helped the neighbor get the snow and ice off his house......he watched an old trapper friend skin and stretch beaver......and he went to the woods with our son-in-law and ran skidder for the day......and the rest of the time he complained that he wanted to trap...he wanted to go fishing....he wants a puppy........
He said one morning...
"I'm really crabby today"...I asked "why?"..... He said "I'm just frustrated that I don't have the money to do the things I want"....I said "Yah! I know what you mean. I get frustrated too." He turned and look me straight in the eyes and said...."What do you have to complain about?"....................I kissed him on the forehead and went back to doing what I was doing. Sometimes it's nice when he forgets what we are talking about right in the middle of the conversation.
Anyway...his short little trips from home, away from me and the girls has reminded him that he doesn't like to be away from us........it scares him when I'm not near .......he loves being home with us even though he can't do all the things he thinks he wants to do and he is grateful once again that he has me and the girls and a family that loves him, takes care of him and keeps him safe. : )
Okay........ that was one too many days, being totally cooped up. Especially with a giant 7 year old and 2 energetic, large dogs! OOPS....I meant Tom and the girls. hee hee. So today we all piled in the car and went for a nice long ride in the woods.
There has been some logging going on down our way. They are done now but left a nice logging road to drive on. It's still plowed and the cold temps has it frozen up good.
It was such a nice drive with the sun glistening, through the trees and dancing on the snow. We noticed the birds were out and looking a little happier about the warmer temps too.
We let the girls out to run and play. We were "hope-ing" to tire them out some. I think it worked. They've been sleeping all evening instead of bugging me with their toys.
Warmer temps ahead so we can at least get out and play and go for walks. Whew...Wasn't sure I was going to survive that one : )
YOW!!!!! 40 below.......Okay, that's cold........Even Lilly agrees......The girls make their morning trips outside short and sweet and back to bed with Dad where it's toasty warm.
If I attempt to crawl back in bed with them all, the girls pester Tom till he's howling like a banshee. I give up, get up and they all go back to sleep. Yah I know, sounds like a conspiracy to me too!
On cold days I use aroma therapy to keep everyone happy. I cook and bake and keep everyone full and they reward me by telling me I'm the best cook in the whole world. Cold outside and full bellies = a nap! : )
Yesterday Tom made his first trip to town since August. Not by choice : ( He had to have a pesky old wisdom tooth pulled. It all went well.
When we were sitting in the dentist waiting room we could hear a little boy screaming his head off. The receptionist said he was only getting his teeth cleaned. Tom and I chuckled and than I told Tom he had better not act like that when we get back there. ; } He laughed out loud.......he likes my sense of humor.
A few more days of this really cold stuff still ahead of us........I may have to get a little more creative to keep everyone happy...........hmmmm?
I went to town the other day......Oh my! Now there's some snow hills : ) People were talking "Can't see when pulling into an intersection....snow three feet deep on roofs...... and it's only the 1st of January! ...... Back in 1995 there was a lot of snow that year."
It did take us two days to push this last batch of snow out. It didn't help that the winch on the 4-wheeler burnt up and the battery died. Got a new battery and the neighbor had a winch and put it on for Tom. Whew.......back in business. Snow plowing that is : )
Guess it was a good thing this year Tom plowed the yard. At least we have room yet there for snow but the driveway is closing in on us. Could be snowed in by spring if this keeps up.
Tom was taking snow off the roof again before it got too deep. It's harder to do when you let it go too long. This time I didn't worry about him falling off. SOFT landing below. The worst that could of happened he got buried but I'm the shovel man and could have dug him out. I've had to dig Mag out of a few snow banks. hee hee
Okay yes I'm loving the snow and I'm out playing in it most days with the girls. When it's not below zero that is.
