I can hardly remember what to do here. I am working on the layout which is crazy. So I have been on Social Media which can be a night mare. I have met in the cyber world many patriots for America that really care about this place. I have learned a lot.
I have currently lost 102 pounds. I had Gastric bypass Surgery because I was getting to darn sick all the time. I feel and am feeling much better now.
I am currently getting my concealed carry permit and I am taking classes on how to work with guns and any harmful events that may happen. It is very exciting to learn new things.
Our Country on this date is insane. What the Politicians have done to this country is down right criminal and against our constitution. God bless America.. that is all for today. I will be working on the layout to set up a better view. Have a great day!Callie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00182013111666636150noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15611522.post-34037121039513668372014-04-13T02:54:00.002-07:002014-04-13T02:54:55.376-07:00Fibro the disease Fibromyalgia
In 2010 I had a bad bout with pneumonia and a ton of complications... 2011 second neck surgery followed by the shingles...and then what seemed chronic pain along with other things...you could say a blurry fog of sorts... Here a man writes about the diagnosis of his wife and how it has affected their life and what is going on with it. Give it a read.. for yourself, for your family, for your friends with this disease...It will help you to understand...

Some family not talking at all. Some friend not talking at all. Seem like a bunch of cowards to me.<br />
<br />
People die everyday so people are suppose to throw daggers and insinuations at there loved ones. Seem's at 50 that is what my family is teaching me. I don't care for their rhymes Just sick was has happened since Gramps passed, then Granny and now my dad is getting worse again. Every time he thinks he can he ends up on his ass some where. I feel terrible for him. No walking, The biggest triumph of the day is can he pee in the bottle correctly. My mother is exhausted she slept all day. Jayne took care of the both of them.<br />
<br />
My Kitty Kk..is going out side here and there now with Ozzy. She flew back in this morning ... too cold she purred.<br />

Yep, the year is 2012, Obama and Romney are battling it out. What ever happened to the good men, the founding father's, the ones that got shit done. The Constitution, Declaration of Independence? All those nights in secret houses or rooms.. working together to figure out how to form this country and keep it going to not end up like the country they fled. Huh! Nothing much left of it I fear. Seems there is no respect, much anyway left in this country to be really proud of. It's withering off to some place. I love old people, some are still alive and just died recently that have seen all the changes in this country in just 100 years.<br />
<br />
My step-father for instance is in a old folks home this week having the time of his life. Talking to all the old ladies. He has turned into a old pervert... but I digress again. He used to be one of the classiest men I knew. Dad told Mom today he doesn't want to come home. He wants to stay in the old people's home and visit with all the ladies. I am so glad he can't do nothing with his nether region anymore. They say there is more sex in old people's homes than anywhere is in the country.... I will change that to more wanting and wishing for sex.<br />
<br />
Oh well, I want my kids to keep voting and to learn what government is about and how it use to work and how it works now. A lot of things are still good in this country! Like getting away to the mountains or the ocean and seeing the beauty of the country.<br />
<br />
Well, I did my voting thing today! It will count somewhere lost in the sea of all the millions of others. Have a great day and hope you voted. Oh how I got off topic up there was wild, sorry... but that is my life! With a whole lot more drama that I will post later. :) LOLCallie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00182013111666636150noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15611522.post-68625852932869328812012-03-22T18:47:00.001-07:002012-03-22T18:52:29.924-07:00My Mom and Dad Gatlin at work in Arizona<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Windy Wendesday... that is the forecast here in Highland, Illinois. My cousin is coming up tomorrow so we can celebrate Brighton's 4th birthday it isn't in real life until March 3rd. But, who cares, cake will be there. So far she is having fun on this trip. Really enjoying her Great Grandparents, Great Aunt, Cousins and whomever else stops by. It was a large event tonight Bonnie, Jake's Lady stopped by and painted B's toes and fingers for her. A happy four year old. Aunt Jayne is sick with the flu, my mom is pulling in second. I really hope the rest of us don't get this thing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's is hard sleeping in this house...you hear everything but nothing at the sametime....I need white noise.... not, dead silence that is so loud one could scream or so many creeks in this house making noise and such I don't know how to explain it...it just is. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Life has been weird lately adjusting to the Grandparents being gone. My mom and aunt are pretty sad about it. Not sure how to cheer them up. I mean seriously. I have no idea what to do for them. </span>Callie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00182013111666636150noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15611522.post-45316838192790189982012-02-10T02:42:00.000-08:002012-02-10T02:42:45.183-08:00Music?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So when my Grandpa was bed ridden last year we had gotten some new t-shirts and cut them up the back so it was easy on him to put fresh clothes on him everyday. Well, I just found out that my mom and aunt were putting these same old shirts on my Grandmother in her dying bed. Well, I don't know but I got pissed off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUaeg0XDCt4b6RgGGIC5jWMkztx1exTt4tMTVlid2IjApJGxV4mNTROMqjQS-KhS6fFh3x5LQvLR38ZMQTXmFeRb-0CNcxgbEdlx-8S1GCrRYbE6za83ZIMoi4Bx7GzAbD_AD1eg/s1600/grannytshirts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUaeg0XDCt4b6RgGGIC5jWMkztx1exTt4tMTVlid2IjApJGxV4mNTROMqjQS-KhS6fFh3x5LQvLR38ZMQTXmFeRb-0CNcxgbEdlx-8S1GCrRYbE6za83ZIMoi4Bx7GzAbD_AD1eg/s400/grannytshirts.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
I think if and old woman of 89 years old is bed ridden she should at least have some flowered t-shirts. Not her husbands old blue, red, orange, green and brown dying shirts. So I texted my Mom, My Aunt and My Brother and chewed them all out. This picture above is the result. My granny will now be laying in her dying bed in a fashionable way... Flowers and Purple. I love it. Thank you so much family for listening to me.<br />
<br />
Let it be known if I end up in a dying bed... I want flowers and purple also and some make up and someone combs my hair and washes me everyday and puts some makeup on my face and brushes my teeth and if I have some crazy hairs on my face. I want the crazy things pulled and any black heads Squeeze away!!!

Well, I live in Oregon and we are having this gigantic flooding again. It is terrible... We have lost 2 lives so far that I am aware of and some homes.. I don't remember it raining so hard, so much, for just a few days causing all this mess. Washington State is in a freeze.. I have a friend that just moved there...what a welcome she got.<br />
<br />
This picture was taken by Pamela Hayes... it has been passed all around Facebook today.. I have no idea whom she is but I would like to personally thank her for this picture. She has taken many that express the tragedy unfolding...<br />
<br />
Oh and by the way My Family Dog Peanut passed away on Jan 16, 2012. She passed from complications from Diabetes and overall a dislike for feeling like shit and having to wear diapers and get stuck with needles... it was degrading to her.. Seriously she was so unhappy... I love you my little "Woo Woo" girl. Her most favorite person in the whole world.. my son "Pinky"... "I am sorry your dog passed son".<br />

Peanut is the silver one... Ozzie is the black...he is now 3... When Peanut lost her mom she needed a companion so that is when Ozzie came into the home... I must say Ozzie is so sad about losing Peanut... But, I just can't get another little one right now. So that is life today! :)Callie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00182013111666636150noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15611522.post-45052324981217421812012-01-09T10:12:00.000-08:002012-01-09T10:12:30.291-08:00updateSo here we go starting this new year. Have lost 3 people so far in just a week. A friends mother, another friends mother and Putter's Grandpa... hope it stops at 3. That would be enough for me.<br />
<br />
Brighton is doing well. We are learning our ABC, 123.. words...how to scribble inside the lines and most of all how to me calm and not want to eat every 15 minutes... She was eating like an old coal train when she first got her.. Anxiety I will call it. Now she is nice and calm. She eats normal... Yeah!!!!<br />
<br />
She doesn't like Vegetables except corn and in my book corn ain't a vegetable. So I have been making smoothies for her sneaking the veggies in...you can drink anything with a straw and a pretty spritz of whipping cream on the top... I love my Vita-Mix machine... well that's the news from the Pacific Northwest for today... Have a good one!Callie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00182013111666636150noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15611522.post-9131214335118316222012-01-06T00:58:00.000-08:002012-01-06T00:58:19.833-08:00Pinky New Year<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Have not posted a picture of Pinky my son in a while. So there it is. His New Years Party. Found it on face book and stole it..looks like some sort of wine thing. He is doing good. He has a awesome job that he just loves. He loves mostly the security of money coming in to his pocket on a regular basis. I am so glad for him and he also has a lot of good friends. Yeah for Pinky...

Not sure exactly what I am feeling right now. My mom called yesterday and said both my Dad and Grandmother are on Hospice. Neither one of them can walk right now. Grandma keeps having strokes and can't even suck out of a straw... Last year dealing with my Grandfather so close and taking care of him his last 30 days of his life. Well, let's just say it has left me screwed up! Yeah that is how I would put it. So I am not in any hurry to get out there and see what is going on and helping. I have my own set of Medical Problems. Gonna need the neck surgery again. The titanium screw is backing off and I have my grand daughter Brighton full time 24/7 she is a handful... :)Callie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00182013111666636150noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15611522.post-59979253653085390632012-01-01T23:59:00.000-08:002012-01-02T00:00:04.831-08:002012 it isIt's is the start of the New Year... 2012..

I have my Brighton back again. I love her so much. A 3 1/2 year old keeps me busy and I am thankful for it. I need the reason to get up and make the day happen. I took a picture of her this evening as she was snuggling into bed. I will post it tomorrow with this post... Ah it is so much fun being a Nana.. Why is that? I enjoy it much better than the Mama time. Maybe as they say it is because I have so much more patience. For instance she didn't want to finish her dinner tonight. She mashed a taquito in her mouth and kept adding more milk but not swallowing and making a ton of nosies and faces...a little bit came out and got on her clothes. I simply asked in a calm voice "are you ready for bed?" NO she replied and promptly swallowed her food. Ha Ha..it cracked me up what I learned in that moment.. when I was younger. I would have reacted so much differently.
