Kimberly Vacationpants

OK...so my step-daughter, Cheylynn is visiting from San Diego and I am on vacation until July 6th!! ::doing the happy dance:: She brought her friend Kirby with her and I am hoping that we will be able to do some sightseeing while she is here. The last time she came, it snowed alot so we didn't get to do very much. We spent most of our time watching movies and hanging out!!! Anyway, I am glad she is here and I am looking forward to my vacation!!!

Happy 90th Birthday!!!

Today is my Grandmother's 90th Birthday and I am blessed to have such a WONDERFUL role model in my life. I wish I could be there to help you celebrate!! Happy Birthday!!!

I'd like a cigarette....please

So I quit smoking on May 2nd and have been really sick since then. My joke is that the smoking was keeping all of the other illnesses at bay but in reality I am starting to believe that!!! I have developed various stomach pains, acid reflux, horrible coughing, problems breathing and even random phantom pains in my side. I kept thinking that if I quit smoking, I would feel better and have more energy. Instead, I find that I am tired all the time (even though I am taking vitamins!) and I have the energy level of a recliner! I can't remember anything!! I am just falling apart.....

If I have to be miserable, I'd like a cigarette to make me feel better!!!

Reality Check

I just learned not long ago that the son of one of the FedEx VP's was killed over the weekend. He was 18 years old and had just graduated from high school on Friday. What a horrible, tragic event for this family to have to survive. In thinking about this, it made me realize just how uncertain life is for each of us. It made me think about my own daughter who is currently in San Diego and far from me. It made me think of my husband who is out working in the rain. It made me think of my friends that I haven't talked to lately. Have I told these people how important they are to me? Have I left them with the knowledge that I love them and why? Have I shared with them how grateful I am to have someone so fabulous in my life?

Nothing is promised for any of us. Take a minute today to let someone know that you love them. Take a minute to share your thoughts and feelings with someone you are thankful to have in your life. Take a minute to appreciate each and every one of your blessings!
