Long time no post...

So I have not posted in a long time, about two months. This summer has been a long one for me. I haven't felt much like posting lately, I still don't. I havent checked my page in a long time. I never have comments, I figure no one knows about my page, no one reads it, so why bother. But today I noticed a comment. So, maybe I will let you know where I have been.
It started in May when I found out my dog, Krusty was sick. She had Cancer and a rare disease; they were linked. The vet didn't really think Krusy would live a month. Well, she did.
This summer was hard because I watched my baby die... it was hard and sad, yet I was so glad to have that time with her. She was and is such a good dog. We lost our baby in late August. It was time. I was so surprised how hard Dale, my husband took it. Krusty is still with us, in the back yard buried by the lake. The house seems so empty, so quiet. Coming home from long weekends or trips is hard, but the hardest time of the day is going to work. I loved saying good-bye to her each morning, giving her the kiss good bye started my day off well. I miss my girl. I will always be Krusty-dog's mom. She was a Krusty ol' dog. Best Damn dog!
My back has been killing me all summer long. I hate it! I can't livein a chemical fog and I can't not live in the pain of not living in one. It has sucked, it is getting worse and no one has answers. So i have struggled with that all summer. Engough said. Today was mediation for the car accident. Lets say it did not go well, not because Dale and I are not reasonalbe people either. Dale's 1994 Camero is worth more that my back and neck! Pathetic!
The fun things this summer included Vince comign to visit for a week. That is always fun. Dale and Vince have bene friends since College and they aways laugh and we all have a great time! Dale had his 20th high school reunion over Labor Day weekend! that was fun, too. It was up in Western PA. Sharon High School Class of 1987. Class reunions are fun! We had a good time!
This past weekend we went to Jacksonville and helped my dad around the house. I picked out things for him around the house and Dale painted his master bedroom. It was good to see good old Dad. Dad brought Dale, Tance, Rose and I out to dinner to say thanks to Dale and I for our help. It was fun to hang out with my friends. Dale and I went out to Dinner with his friend Tony from High School the next night, that was fun, too.
Hopefully things are looking up!
Counseling is going well. I am still not driving. Things have gotten intense over the weeks, but I am hanging in there. My counselor is great! We are unpacking a lot of baggage which i think is helpful. Hopefully it will help me need les control and it will help me to rely on others more freely and especially on God. It has been a scary ride at times, but so has my life.
It is funny, people look at me and see a girl with a life well put together, yeah maybe I have a weight problem, but i have a good life, they don't know me well enough to know the pain I have lived in and through. That is often the case of people around us.
People's stories are full of twists and turns.
So, i hope i wont take so long next time.... sorry!

I'm glad you're back, and I am so sorry to hear about your baby. My dogs are my babies....only fellow dog families can understand the strength of that love.

I read your blog!

Thanks for sharing so openly and I'm sorry to hear about Krusty. I'll be praying for you.

I just read a blog by Beth Moore and she ended it by saying "You are deeply loved today." That warmed my heart and I hope it does yours as well.
