Time to take a break

I am feeling so overwhelmed right now. I have to get organized and get Sarah's medical needs taken care of. I'll try to update in a couple weeks. I recently decided to switch our Early Intervention "Ongoing Service Coordinator" to some one who is a friend of mine. Our original "Ongoing" is really nice but has been dropping the ball alot lately and not communicating. We have every service there is for Sarah and I need to know what is going on, not be left in the dark for over a month at a time. So switching to the new OSC apparently has struck a wrong chord with our PT. She must have had issues with her in the past and now there is drama. I feel like I'm in the middle and I want no part of it. I just want Sarah's services to continue as they are. I don't have the emotional strength to deal with this crap right now. Sarah is due for her yearly meeting and needs to be tested again in all areas. I've not been feeling well for months and still haven't had a chance to see my doctor.

Sarah needs to see the gastro, the opthamologist, and the neurologist. She needs to get in for a hearing test. And I'm still waiting to hear back from Shriners. I just need to get my head together. I don't need added stress. Hopefully next time I log on to the computer, I'll be feeling better. I just need to prioritize and get things straightened out.

WWTV Day #10


We're getting closer to having it all cleared! Hugh's been working at the property with a small crew of guys this week and they've been clearing trees where the houses and studio will go. We just had a discussion about buying the property right next to ours(the same guy owns it that sold us our land). I think it would be an excellent opportunity for some rental income. There's a small house on it already and we could eventually build another. That lot is 3 acres as well. The best part is that the owner wants to work out a barter with Hugh. He wants to build another house for himself and his wife and it's a good possibilty we could trade labor for part of the cost of the land. That is one thing I love about this area is that the barter system is still alive and well. LOL. We never have much money but always manage to get by on Hugh's talent for buildng and for making really good trades!

WWTV Day #9


Today I'm dreaming of Spring. LOL. I just bought a new pair of hiking boots and found some bedding at the thrift for our rv. I cannot wait to go camping and hiking. I was looking through old pics to find one of Sam's Point. This was my favorite hike. It was so beautiful. The kids absolutely loved it. We went from the high peaks to a lake and then to a cave. It was so cool. This pic is of Hugh and Jess waving from the lookout. *Sigh* It's 18* out there today. Waaaahhh!!! I want the warm sunshine and the green leaves back again.

WWTV Day #8



Today is offically "Stay in Your Jammies" Day. Need I say more?

WWTV Day #7


Spent some time today scanning old pics that Hugh and I have taken. We both love this one. It's from a few years ago. He was driving around in the boonies trying to find a house where he was supposed to do an estimate. He wound up getting hopelessly lost and drove by this truck. "The Guitar-Pickin' Congressman"...love it!

WWTV Day 6


This is another one of Hugh's "findings". It is now hanging in our bathroom right over the tub. Is it a musical instrument? A piece of art? It has strings but doesn't make very pretty noises..LOL. If you know what it is..please enlighten me!

WWTV Day #5


I cannot wait until we move back to the boonies. I love our apartment but hate looking out the window and seeing a gas station at the bottom of the hill. We have a beautiful view of the mountains as well but still...the gas station definitely puts a damper on it. I had to drive through Palenville to take Hugh his lunch today and everything looked so beautiful as we drove up through the mountains. I pulled over to snap this pic of the ice hanging off the side of the cliff.
