I am so frustrated with the construction, or is it DESTRUCTION on my street. For that matter, the whole city is torn up and almost impossible to get through. They're putting in new septic lines, but the inconvenience is...a bunch of shit (ok sorry for the bad joke, but after living with G for 2 years...it's natural). Seriously though, it's been over a month that I'm woke up 7 days a week by loud men and machinery shaking my whole house. The dogs bark constantly because they don't understand what these idiots are yelling about in front of our house. And as if that's not bad enough, I haven't been able to park in my driveway (or even on my street) in 3 days. And I don't think I mentioned that I didn't even get any advance notice that I wouldn't be able to get in or out of my driveway. I mean...there is like a whole in front of my driveway. I could barely WALK out of the yard to get to my car yesterday. I had to walk through the dangerous construction site. Honestly, I could go on and on about the day to day crap I've had to deal with...but I'll stop here. I think we get the picture. I'm looking forward to it being done in December...I hope.

On an unrelated topic, my switch flipped again! I was in such a positive frame of mind in my last post and then about a week ago, it just changed. I don't really know why or how. I know that at the moment, something annoyed me...but it lasted...and lasted. I'm not feeling depressed as much as just plain old cranky and short fused.

On Veteran's day, we had a memorial for my friend's son who passed in a car accident one year ago on this day. It turned out so big and unbelievably beautiful. Over 100 people came and released balloons with personal messages to Matt. The sky was unbelievably beautiful. I simply have to attatch a picture. I will never look at balloons the same and both my daughter and i have both decided that some day when we're no longer here in body, we'd like the same done for us.



Out of curiosity, who of our bloggers believes in spirits? As in communication of those who've passed with us who remain here on Earth? I definitley do and could probably write many blogs on my experiences and those of people I know. I find it comforting and amazing!
