Sky River RanchLeave a comment, make my day..... 4/23/2009 Just a quick updateJust a quick note (again), we are all doing ok. Not been feeling overly creative lately, but will add more soon. 5/30/2008 The big storm.....We had some crazy weather here a week or so ago. There was rain, hail and tornados in some of the surrounding areas. A little town about 15 miles from us got hit with a toranado. There was alot of damage, but only one death.
We had a hail storm, the hail stones were some of the biggest I've ever seen in person. The hail that came down in other places where as big as baseballs. Ours were almost golf ball size. The pictures are of my husband's hand, he's not a small person.
The hail wiped out my iris blooms, but the plants themselves are fine. 4/27/2008 Finally an update After a long time away, I have finally made it back.
I am on vacation this week. I've been working for a year at Circle K. It's a gas station/convienece store. I'm the assistant manager. I've always liked working in customer service. I like people for the most part. There are always a few idiots or assholes, but, as in life you take the good with the bad.
The kids are doing well, getting big. Whisper turned 11 on Tuesday, Ronin will be 8 next month, and Zinan will be 4 in June. I'll post some new pics of them soon.
Things are going ok. It's life.
I will post more later. In the mean time, be kind to each other. 3/31/2008 Back after how long........?Well, I am finally back. I have my own laptop too. I will update more later on.
Hi to all. 10/25/2006 New Job....Just another quick note to say we are all still here. I started a new job at 7 11. I'm back in my comfort zone. I had a short stint as a telemarketer and a maid, both of which SUCK!!! I've always enjoyed customer service.
The kids are doing well, growing like weeds, I'll post some pictures when I can. Right now I don't have my computer and the library computers won't let you upload stuff of course.
In the mean time be nice to each other. 9/29/2006 Yes, I'm still alive, barely....Just another quick note to let anyone still checking that we are still alive. It's turning to fall and the leaves are changing. I don't have too much to say right now, so I will try to post something later.
Be nice to each other! 7/24/2006 Just a quickieJust a note to say hi.
Have been kinda' busy. Working in my little patch of dirt. My garden plants are doing really well.
I have a paper route, it's ok, makes for very early mornings. I usually get up at around 2-2:30am. I get done by 5:00am. It's a job, of sorts.
I hope all else is well for any visitors. Please leave a comment, I like to hear from other people here too.
Be nice to each other. 7/7/2006 The Garden...I have added some pictures of my growing garden. They are after the snake an horse pictures. It's finally starting to get some veggies growing.
I am starting a paper route in the morning. 2:30am. Ugg. But it's a job for now. I will still try to find something else part-time for the day.
The weather has been really nice. A little on the warm side, but that's summer in Colorado.
We set off some fireworks on the 4th of July, and then watched the town display. It was alot of fun. I didn't take any pictures because I was too busy chasing Zinan down and keeping Ronin from trying to pick up lit fireworks. All in all, it was still fun. 6/27/2006 Small updateNot much to report. Ronin got his stiches out, and it's looking pretty good. We've been treating the scar with Mederma for Kid's. I think he will have a small scar no matter what.
I've aquired a few more plants. I just can't seem to help it. "At least it's not kittens", is what I tell Nate. I'll post some pictures of them later. (I know no one is really interested, but I am) ha ha.
I'm also working on starting a home based business. A houseplant service. We'll see how it goes. I'm still working on the flyers and business cards, plus what the rates and such should be.
In the meantime: BE NICE TO EACH OTHER. 6/16/2006 RoninWell, we had some excitement on Monday night. Ronin was messing around and managed to put a plant hanging hook through his cheek.
I was working on the computer and I looked over in time to see him tumble down off the back of the couch. I had an deer antler decoration on the wall and that came down with him. At first, when he started to scream, I thought he had fallen on the deer antler. It was when he sat up with the hook hanging out of his face that I freaked out for a moment. Before he or I had time to think about it, I backed the hook out and slapped a bag of frozen peas on it. It didn't bleed much, but Ronin kept saying that all his blood was going to come out and he was going to die. I assured him he was going to be fine.
I then called my sister to ask her how fast she could get to the house. I then called my husband to let him know he needed to get home too.
My sister arrived in less than 10 minutes. Luckily she had her boyfriend with her. I relized that I didn't have Zinan's carseat. It was at work with Nate in the car. So, her boyfriend stayed with Zinan, and we took off to the hospital.
We ended up sitting and waiting for about four hours before he was taken in to be treated. Appearantly, you have 4 to 6 hours to suture a wound.
Anyway, they got him sticthed up. He got four stitches on the inside of his mouth, and eight on the outside. The stiches come out on Monday. The ones on the inside will disolve on thier own. He will probably have a small scar, but, we are doing what we can to minimize it.
The pictures are a bit graphic, so, if you have a weak stomach, don't enlarge them.
The first one is of the wound untreated. Then stitched. And the fourth picture is the hook he put through his face. The last one is how it looks today. Friday, June 16. |
