Hello Everyone!
I am at such a loss for words, I'm not even sure what to write. Your comments made me smile and your prayers and well wishes did wonders for my mind. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You all will never know how wonderful you made me feel.
The good news is, I'm getting better. The bad news is, the meds I'm on make me very tired all the time, so I can't spend more than a few minutes on the computer. I would love to respond to all the well wishers and the e-mails, but that will have to wait for a little while more.
Nobody is quite sure what my problem is. I went to the doctor today, and he is going to follow up with the ER docs and the cardioligist. They think I have a viral infection that was attacking my heart. The hope is once the infection is gone, I will be back to my normal bratty self. For now, I stay on the meds and be very tired. Better that, than having my heart jump around like crazy.
Things like this always put things in perspective. My thanksgiving weekend was a nightmare I hope to never have to relive. But I found out that there are way more important things in the world than turkey and stufffing.
Yesterday was Bossman's birthday. I could never, ever have made it through this without him. The look of worry on his face as I was being rushed into the ER is not a look I ever want to see on his face again. He made decisions for me, he held me, he sat in uncomfortable chairs for hours, so that he would not have to leave my side. I would fall asleep in my hospital bed with him holding my hand and wake up with him still there watching over me. He asked all the right questions and made sure that everything that should be done was done. Every time I would ask a question about the kids, he already had it taken care of. I wish I could have been well enough to celebrate his birthday in style. He deserves that and more. But he informed me that he was already given the best gift of all, and that was me, getting better. I definately couldn't buy THAT at the store.
I'll be around in a couple of days. The doctor I saw today is going to try and lower my dosage of meds so that I won't be so tired. We'll see how that goes in the next couple of days.
Until then friends, be well. Hug your family, tell the people in your life how much you love them. I want to leave you with this....
Take a moment right now and feel your pulse. Put your hand over your heart and just feel it beat. Tonight when your snuggling against your loved one, put your head on his/her chest and just listen to the beat of their heart. This is what is important. Don't take your heart or your health, for that matter, for granted. What could be fine today could be not-so-fine tomorrow. Take the time to appreciate your heart. It is, after all, one of the most important organs in your body.
HUGS!
Grace
Greetings from Bossman
Hello it's Bossman. Grace has given me her password and asked me to post some news regarding her health.
Last week almost exactly 7 days ago tonight she started feeling sick and developed a temperature of 102. Everything looked like it was a flu or cold since she had a high temperature and some aches and pains. One concern she had was a little chest pain but nothing that bad. So as the days progressed she got a little worse but nothing more than you would expect from a cold. By Wednesday her temp had gone down and it looked like she was on the way to recovery.
Thanksgiving morning she woke up about 9am and realized we needed some additional supplies from the grocery store. She was still feeling a little sick but was tired of being in the house so she went to the store by herself. (that's my headstrong Grace for you) While at the store she became light headed and felt like she was going to pass out. She sat down for a few minutes and felt better. After she got home she was feeling like something was not right. After about an hour her heart began beating kinda weird and she had a panicky feeling that overwhelmed her. I was extremely worried and rushed her down to the urgent care center. She went straight in without waiting and was hooked up to a monitor. They took one look at her heart rhythm and called an ambulance to take her to the hospital immediately. Of course we were totally freaked out!!! It turns out her heart was beating between 150 and 200 beats per minute. The normal is between 60 and 90. So after about 4 hours of medication and tests in the ER and getting calmed down they were able to get her heart to beat at a rhythm of about 80 beats per minute. Everything looked good so we went home a few hours later.
Then the next morning she got up and felt better and started getting ready for the day. Everything was going fine until about 4pm All of a sudden it hit again! She was panic'd and began to loose the ability to make decisions and function. I RUSHED her out the door and to the emergency room again. This time they said we are admitting her and running more tests. It took about 4 hours but they finally were able to get her heart beating normally again by adjusting the medication. They ran every test in the book. (The bill will probably be as much as a new Ferrari but I don't care if it's a billion dollars Grace is the world to me.)
Sooo what was the problem? The doctor said it was probably something called
A-tra-fibulation. (I'm guessing I spelled that wrong) Now this could be caused from a viral infection and go away or be just a random thing that happened and may be something she will have for a longer period of time. The good news is that all of her tests came back normal. Her heart is strong and in perfect health, her chest x-rays and bloodwork have all been normal.
So we have been at the hospital for the last 2 days just returning home today about 2pm. I had 3 hours of sleep over a 48 hour period because I was so worried. But the last 36 hours her heart has been in a normal rhythm beating at about 65-70 beats per minute. She is feeling much better especially after getting some additional rest today. I'm still nervous though and watching her like a hawk. Some of the tests have not come back yet but as of right now she is resting comfortably in the bedroom and her heart rate and blood pressure are normal.
You know the weirdest thing about this whole thing is she has had no pain. In fact the worst pain was the 10 tries for an IV and all the blood they took from her. When her heart was like that it was not painful just made her panic.
She wanted to take a few days off from here but did say she would get back on here and post again real soon. I sincerely appreciate all of the positive and well wishing comments you have given. Reading her comments always makes her smile and she really tries hard to answer each one of you. I want to personally thank you for your concern and how you make this a fun and exciting place to interact. I know my writing is not as good as Grace's but I hope I have shed some light on where she has been. If you have any questions I will be reading her comments and relaying messages to her until she get's on here.

Sick
Hi everyone!
Just wanted you all to know that I have been very sick the last couple of days. I'm still recovering, but it's taking me longer than I thought. Just sitting here typing this is making me dizzy.
Just know that I am hanging here there, and Bossman is taking extra good care of me.
I will try and get to a decent post and to all my e-mail as soon as I am able.
If I can't make it here by Thursday, I want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
(I'd give hugs, but I don't want anyone else to get sick!)

Up, up and away
Underware: I feel so naked without them. Pulling them down for a spanking is soooo sexy!
Up: When I die, I plan on going UP, not down. Although I'm sure you all can't possibly believe that!
Umbrella: Handy for rain, even handier for killing big spiders! (ok, I panicked!)
Uranus: I just love saying that word!
Umbilical cord: Although the umbilical cord gives life to the fetus. In this case it gave life to my beautiful children.
Uterus: I love being a woman. Plus, that was a great place for my fetuses to grow!
Un: Most of the words I thought of started with Un. Un is great. It means we can undo mistakes that we made. It means we can untie our shoes as soon as we walk in the door. We can unmake the bed, when we are feeling frisky. The sound of a belt being unbuckled makes my heart skip a beat. Unlucky is what happens when I play the lotto. Unbreak my heart, by Toni Braxton, used to be my favorite song. Uncovering my spanking needs has led to some unforgettable experiences. The love I have for Bossman is undying.
USA: I am proud to be an American. Doesn't matter what political party I am. Doesn't matter if I agree or disagree with the war. Doesn't even matter if I like or dislike our President. I would still choose to be an American. The land of the Free and the home of the Brave!
Well, there you have it the U's. Hope you all have an unsually unique day!

Driving Miss Daisy
I survived the birthday!
My house is still standing. The cake has been eaten. The presents have been opened and NOW, now comes the most dreadful news of all.
The wildchild wants to drive.
Her Grandma graciously gave my daughter 200 bucks so she can take the driving class. (Thanks MOM!) That means she can now get her driving permit.
So, this is a warning. Really, it's a public service announcement.
Stay off the sidewalks people! As a matter of fact, if I were you, I'd stay indoors. I wouldn't even think of heading out the door. Nope, I'm telling you, it's just not safe.
As for me, I've purchased the helmet, googles, scarf (just so I can look cool) and the driving gloves. I'm debating on whether or not I should just get a blindfold so I don't have to watch my own execution. I'm also considering body armor, but isn't that saying, I don't trust you?
I've got out the Barry Manillow tapes for cruising, and I'm hoping between the music and the outfit this will have her deciding that driving with mom is too embarrassing.
Think it will work?
I'll let you know.....

Sweet 16
My lovely daughter is 16 today.
Let me tell you about the day I found out I was pregnant.
It was our anniversary the week before. Our one year anniversary. We decided to go to Las Vegas. Neither of us had been as adults, so we thought it would be fun. We were both 21.
We woke up the day of the trip, and Bossman went out to fill the car with gas while I did last minute packing. 2 seconds after leaving, he was back. The car had been broken into the night before. The side rear window was broken out. The radio was gone. Instead of leaving for Vegas, we were filing police reports. Apparently there were numerous break ins in our area that night.
Should we cancel the trip? Nah, we were young and we wanted to get out of town. So we taped cardboard to our window, and left.
We ended up having a great time in Vegas. We had lots to talk about on the way, it was a 7 hr drive and with no radio, talking was all we had. We checked out all the sights, did some gambling. We walked and walked.
Now, unfortunately, I was pretty sure I was going to start my period any day. I had a prescription for *birth control in my purse, just waiting to be filled. In those days, you were suppose to wait until your period started before starting the pill.
So, we walked and walked and I was soooo tired. I had never felt this tired before. I knew my period was coming, but this was ridiculous. When we got back to the hotel room, I was bushed. I laid down for a minute and was out like a light. Poor Bossman thought I was sick.
But we did have a great time, and when we came home, I still hadn't started that period. I am pretty regular, so this was weird for me.
A few days after getting home, I stopped by to see my mom. I had pictures I wanted to show her. I mentioned that I hadn't started my period and she slyly asks, "do you think your pregnant?" Hmmm, I hadn't thought of THAT!
Oh my goodness! Do you think? Well, I told my mom, I don't know, I guess I'll wait a few more days and see. I'm sure I'll start any day.
A few hours later she calls me. "Did you know you can go down to the clinic and they will give you a pregnancy test?" "But, you have to go on Thursdays."
Tomorrow was Thursday. That night, I tell Bossman what I think. He's as surprised as I am. "Let's go tomorrow then."
Bright and early the next morning we head to the clinic. Bossman was the only male in the room. There were alot of women with lots of little kids running around.
I pee in the cup and then we wait...and wait...and wait....
Finally we are called in. I guess it's usually just a woman that goes, because there was only one chair to sit in. So Bossman had to stand. The doctor sits behind her desk and says..."Well, your test came back positive."
I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. I looked up at Bossman, who was standing next to me and he says..."So, uh, what does that mean?"
TOO FUNNY!
I bust out laughing. "It means we are going to have a baby!"
The look on his face was priceless. It was shocked, scared, worried and I think there was a little awe on his face as well.
It was a surprise to say the least, but it was a wonderful surprise! It was the best surprise. It was a magical day.
8 months later we had a beautiful bundle of love. All sugar, lots of spice.
16 years later, she is still sugar and spice. She's also wild and talented and free-spirited. She's part me, and part him. She's got his musical abilities and his curly hair. She's got my chin and my eyes. She's dramatic and she's kind. She's everything I wish I was, and some things I wish she wasn't. She's the best and the worst of both of us and I wouldn't have her any other way.
Sweet 16 and I love her to death!

Thank you
I just wanted to thank all of you for your wonderful comments on Friday. It's such a pleasure to know so many people are reading and actually coming back. To all my friends, thank you! Thank you for taking time to read and respond to my blog. You all make this so much fun! I didn't start out writing for others, but what a bonus it is to have you all here.
To the other readers, Thank you! It is such a surprise to find out people are actually enjoying what I have to say. It would be lovely if you would continue to leave a comment now and then, but if you can't or don't, just know that I know you are there, and I thank you.
Now, just in case any of you missed it, you might want to go look at my comments from the last post one more time. I just had a surprise comment from the love of my life, BOSSMAN!!! I guess he stopped by while I was sleeping last night! What a pleasant surprise! I sure do love that man!
Now, on to other news.
This is the week my wildchild turns 16. Wednesday is the official day, but the birthday week started on Saturday. Since my MIL (mother-in-law) is crazy, and I mean that in the nicest way, we can't have her over when others are over. She is the type of person that gets along with NO ONE! So, we had her over for lunch on Saturday to celebrate the birthday, along with Bossmans sister. My best friend, who is a saint from heaven came over as well. I call her a saint because she is the only one brave enough to come over when my MIL is over. She has seen this woman at her worst, she has even taken some of her wrath and yet, she still comes over when she is here. Thank GOD for good friends like that.
Let me just tell you a little about the MIL. First off, she has a myspace. Now, that wouldn't be too weird except....she only has ONE person that she officially knows in person. I know, you're thinking whats the difference between what she does and what I'm doing here? I'll tell you. Myspace is real. She has her real name and real pictures of herself and family on this site. She talks about the Bible and her beliefs. That wouldn't be so bad, but there is one other thing that she talks about, racial discrimination. Now, don't get me wrong, I am against racial stuff too. But my MIL wishes she was black. (she's not, but my FIL is half black, but looks white.) She claims that people have discriminated against her because she's married to a black man...AGAIN...I repeat...he doesn't even LOOK black. Another HUGE problem, she thinks these people are all REAL. Again, don't get me wrong, I think you're all real, but if Madonna or Michael Jackson left me a comment, I highly doubt it would be the real deals. She had the "night stalker" comment on her site, so she thought it was the real one. She said she was going to have to go to his parole hearing and make sure he didn't get out of jail because otherwise he would come after her because she deleted his comments. We tried telling her it wasn't the real guy, we even did a search on myspace and came up with 300+ "night stalker" websites. So, like I said, she's a little on the crazy side, and really, I do mean that in the nicest way!
Ok, enough about her. Back to my daughters birthday. On Wed. we will have MY side of the family over for cake and presents. THEN on Thursday, (no school on Friday) she is having friends over for videos and the GIRLS only will spend the night. Bossman and I agreed to leave the house for a couple of hours....I'm SOOO nervous about this. I've NEVER let her be home alone with friends. And now I'm allowing it with 10 friends! I'll let you know on Friday if this was a good idea or not.
So like I said, this is birthday week. For some reason the movie "Sixteen Candles" keeps running through my mind. Of course I could NEVER forget her birthday, as she reminds us on a daily basis and there is a running countdown on the calendar AND she has even programmed my phone to give me a reminder...EVERYDAY!!! (somebody help me turn that OFF!!!)
So, that's what my week will be like. Too much cake, too many teens in my house and a beautiful 16 year old that just wants to get her drivers license. (That is a discussion for another post)
Now, what the heck do I get the girl that has everything already and only wants money? Any ideas? She doesn't want make-up, can't buy her clothes, has every electronic device she could possibly need. I'm leaning toward jewelry. But ideas would be nice.
In other news, I got spanked last week. Bossman has been getting on me for slacking off. It's true. I slacked off big time last week. And then, I really screwed up. We went to the store, and I thought he was behind me, but he thought I was still in the car, so I was in the store and he was outside the store, waiting for me. YIKES, it sounds bad, I know. See, I get out of the car rather quickly. I walk quickly, Bossman takes longer. I have a hard time waiting for him. I'm always far ahead of him and this is quite a pet peeve of his. I don't blame him. I would be annoyed if he did that to me. So, this is something we've been working on. Since this latest problem was the worst, the spanking was pretty bad. The back scratcher really did the job well. Believe it or not, I think I would rather have the wooden spoon than that stupid BS. (ahhhh, that will be the name for it for now on...BS!) I never thought I would say that. The wooden spoon has always been scary for me. Now I'm thinking that the BS is worst! Maybe it just depends on how upset the hand that holds it actually is....could that be it?
Well, whatever it is, it hurt! Next time I go to the store with Bossman, I will be the last to get out of the car and I will hold his hand all the way there.
I know this was a long post, but I will be so busy with birthday that I may not get to post much this week. Therefore I left you with a post that you can read all week long!!! Wasn't that nice of me??
later.....
Welcome
Hi everyone!
Thank you for stopping by today! Today is the day I invite YOU...that's right..YOU to leave a comment on my blog.
I know you. You love to jump from blog to blog looking for something interesting that someone has written. You're nervous about commenting. Afraid it might sound dumb. Believe me, I've been there. I've done that. Heck, I still do that!
But listen, it's ok. It's ok to leave a comment on a blog. Nobody will know it's you. You can be completely anonymous. I promise no one will ever know!
So please, leave me a comment. I would love to hear from you. I've really made some wonderful friends here. Except for Eva, they are a pretty nice bunch. (You gotta watch that Eva, she's tries to give out MATH problems...YUCK!)
I would love to make new friends. But if you don't want to be a friend, that's ok too. Just a comment letting me know that you read here is fine. Even just a "HI" would be nice.
So please, come on, do it just this once...leave me a comment. I promise I don't bite! Ok, I bite a little, but I never leave lasting marks! (Don't tell Eva, she thinks I don't bite.)
Oh, I should warn you...Elis said we weren't perverted, but she was only speaking for herself...me? I'm REALLY perverted, and weird...I'm really, really weird.
Ok, now don't forget to comment! It's just one click away...it's right there...right under this post. It won't hurt a bit, I PROMISE!
HUGS!

please get that candy away from me
Halloween was a great success at our house! The little man went as a ninja and my wildchild when as a pirate. Have you seen the costumes that the high schoolers are wearing??? Since when did Halloween become "dress as a slut" day? I had to veto numerous outfits before I would let my daughter out of the house. Sheez!
Bossman decided to dress up this year. He took out a white sheet, cut two eyes and wa-la, instant costume. Believe it or not, but he went out trick or treating in that sheet. He actually went up to a couple of houses and got on his knees, people thought he was a kid. I was hysterical laughing! My 6 foot 4 tall husband walking around with a sheet over his head was comical to say the least.
Now there is this problem of candy. It's everywhere, and I can't keep my hands off it. There are candy wrappers covering my desktop right now! HELP!
Ok, now on to other news.
I wanted to thank you all for your response to my sex-drive post. I was really nervous about posting it. I wasn't sure what kind of response I would get. I was surprised at the number of e-mails I recieved. There are plenty of us going through this very problem. It truly makes things easier to handle when you know you're not the only one going through it.
So, thank you all for your support. Things in my marriage are going great right now. Sex is good, spankings are few, but good.
But please, someone take this candy away....PLEASE!
