I'm getting it

It has been one year of official single -hood
A big thank you for all the friends & family who listen to me Cry, Wine, Vent, and Ramble I promise this year will not be as bad!
They say the "First is the worst". The first of everything new.. First Christmas without, first splitting up of time on Holidays, Birthday and so on. But I (we) made it. I am SO proud of Abby!! She has done well. I think for her the hardest time was in the beginning after we moved and recently. Garth was in Canada for awhile and she really missed him and the whole Utah family trip made her really sad. But she is a trooper and at this point I'm pretty honest with her. About my limits as a single mom and about about Garth's ( not those details she is to young ) limits. The main thing is I am committed to raising a healthy kid who learns resilients young... bit by bit. Garth and I are committed to do the best for her, and most of the time we are on the same page. I am thankful for that!!!
This year will be full of new things for her. Abby will be meeting Garth's new wife Angie and stepdaughter Nicole. Angie and Nicole still live in Canada but I believe will be moving here sometime in the next year..
So good for us I have to say. Abby is off to spend some time with Garth and I am playing "get it all done in 32 hours" ( she will be back tomorrow night)..
So I'm off:
To Goodwill, I have stuck to my promise something in this house something out. I hate clutter and things out of their home!!!
Pick up stuff at the alteration man
Bank
Make cookies for my lesson at church on Temple Marriage :0) how convenient
Study predicts possibilities for Statistics
Dinner with a school Friend
oh and the other Saturday stuff
My love to all thanks or your help.... Oh and By the way I found myself realizing something the other day. What it was is not very important, but what is important ...
It was a big growth moment the ones when we smile at our self and say "Good job your getting it" I hope to have many more in the year to come
I'm getting IT!!! I made it!!

The ranch


OK here is a preview of me and Abby's trip to "The Ranch" a super B.F. invited us to go spend a little time at her families home while we were in Utah this summer (OK It was just last month) Anyway I will post more but I need more time Stop the yelling..

This is Abby doing a back flip off the step of the pool.. Ya people your looking at a pool on top of a HUGE mountain in Utah. Its an infinity pool so you feel like your going to fall off. It was such a nice trip Were else do you see Lambs eating a house, real Chipmunks (non talking ones) Horses, run from a Hot tub, Pool,Trampoline, and your very own park..It was like Utah adventure land

I knew she was smart

Today while talking to Abby about the Health Care issues in terms she can understand it. ( I am a prime example of the working class that pays private insurance that is HORRIBLE AND IS SOOO EXPENSIVE) She had the answer.. "Meme you should have you pay what you can with your job monies.. you know like you can pay $1:99" Love it.

Its hard to know what to do with the health care mess. I see it from so many points
1)My own situation going from great insurance to HORRIBLE and NOT but my choice. I did not chose to change or loss my coverage.. I have the same job live in the same place... and I am the sole head of Household.. I need to be healthy
2) Watching my mom deal with disability and soon Medicare she takes 15 Rx a day
3) Watching and dealing with the medical office insurance payments.
4) Being (soon) a medical professional.

I always get a sick feeling when I hear that people can get tummy tuck because they don't like the C section scare they got when THEY decided to have the C section in the first place.. Or Having to spend $300 on Asthma RX a month... Or having to watch the amount of medicine you give so you can stretch out the RX so you don't have to pay another Co-Pay.. No child or Adult should ever have to go with out affordable, competent timely medical coverage....
I do not have the right answer I do not think anyone does...But something must be done.

PS: DO you know that the only free insurance coverage I can get is Birth Control we all know how funny that is
