I think I have the worst cold I have had in years. Just sucks. Hopefully it will be gone soon.

Good news: The meds I am taking to lower my blood pressure is working. Woohoo! My blood pressure has gone from 155/98 (2 weeks ago) to an average of 112/76. There are still times when the BP goes up a bit, but I am counting on the average.

Enough health talk.

I am starting to think I will be leaving BlogExplosion. I am so tired of the rude comments the people that surf through from BE are leaving here at my blog. Luckily I am the owner of the blog so I decide which comments to save and which to delete. One comment was in reply to my post about my Mother-in-Law. The person commenting wrote something like: Stop behaving like a 6yo. Dont come on here and backstab. Thats pathetic. Grow up!
First of all, this person obviously have no idea what she is talking about. She does not know the whole story. Second, this is my blog! I write about what and whom I want to. None of anyones damn business. If you dont like it, then go find someone else to pester.
Just really dislike people with that ‘Holier than Thou’ attitude. For me, this blog is a venue to get some of the frustration out. Dont want to read about it, then go somewhere else!
Another person left a comment somewhat like this: A good way to get traffic to your site is to be rude. You F****** Racist! This person clearly thought that by leaving such comment I would go to his/her blog. No I didnt bother clicking on the link. And the comment was deleted.
If I had wanted to be treated like this when joining BE, I might as well have just asked my family-in-law to read my blog instead!

I have met a lot of really nice people through BE as well. I am planning on adding all their blogs to my blogroller, and when that is done, I will most likely leave BE.

And this is the view we had today. At first it was pretty scary, but then we came to find out that it was in fact a controlled burn. It is so dry here and the fire danger is extreme, so the fire department opted to burn the grass land, so should there be a ‘real’ fire, the houses would be somewhat protected. They burned all the grass land between my house and the mesa that you might be able to see in the background.

So this past weekend we went to Phoenix. Saturday we went to some friends to visit, and we spent the night there. Sunday DH and DS went to visit the in-laws. I stayed behind at our friends house. I was not about to ruin a perfectly nice weekend by going to the in-laws. We had tried to explain to our DS that if Nana and Popo were to ask Mommy was at home and that DH and DS were just in Phoenix for the day. Well, they go there and of course the in-laws ask and before DH could say any thing our 5 year old snitch (DS) said : Mommy is at T and D’s house. LOL oops LOL. You cant get mad at him for being honest. Just sometimes you wish he would be less honest LOL. Of course they asked DH why I had not come to visit them, and what could he say but the truth. I didnt feel like going. Mother-in-law of course could not understand at all why not. She even said that she knows that I dont like her, but she doesnt understand why not.
And it has not even been 2 weeks since we explained to her why I was pissed at her (well one of the reasons). We went for a quick visit a couple of weeks ago, and the entire time we were there she totally got on my nerves. Every time I told DS no she over ruled it by saying yes. He is my son I deside what he is allowed to do. Then she asked about what the dr’s had said on my last visit to the neurologist. We told her that I had been diagnosed with FMS. Her reply: Oh that is that thing they call it when a person is a hypocodriac. So you are probably just a hypocondriac. This comes from a person who calls around to family and friends asking for prayers everytime someone as much as sneezes. It didnt really tick me off as much to begin with as the whole : Sure kiddo you can jump on the furniture, dont worry that your mommy said no.
Two days later she calls DH to ask why I was upset with her. DH explained to her that we are trying to make a good kid out of DS and it doesnt help that she totally disregard us when we say no. She hadnt even registered that. She was worry that I was upset with her cause she had called me a hypocondriac. Geez, what makes her think that LOL.
Anyway now they are upset with me because I dont like to visit them. I always manage to come out as the bad person. Go figure!

This is also one of my favorite pictures.
