Six Word Saturday

I haven't done one of these in a while.

I haven't blogged yet again in a while.

Ho hum.

Shopping. Is not for the weak.

There is it.


I H.A.T.E. shopping.  Any shopping really if I am going to be brutally honest.

The only thing that gets me to the grocery store is the need for nourishment.  Sometimes it's fun because it is a bit of a break (being that I can go it alone with no kids hanging off me). Sometimes it is fun when I have lots of coupons and I know I am going to save a boatload of money (kinda a competition from week to week).  But normally shopping, don't like it so much.

I especially don't like clothes shopping.  I can't even tell you the last time I went to the mall.  If I have to go into a store other than a grocery store, I get what I intended to and get out!  No window shopping, no strolling, no browsing.  I know not normal, right?  Sorry.  I never said I was normal.

But I have to go shopping today.  If not for me at least for the littles.  They are in need of some new socks, underwear and Hayden has grown quite a bit so his pants are starting to look like he is waiting for a flood. It is probably time.

So wish me luck please.

What "normal" task do you find frustratingly boring?

 

 

Remember when you were a kid and you used to hide in the clothing racks?

I still want to do that so I don't have to shop.

Can I please?

Is it Saturday, feels like it should already be

Monday since we have been off for a few days

due to the Thanksgiving Day holiday.

 

 

Speaking of that....

 

 

Carved that turkey like a boss!

 

That is my 6 words for today.

 

I am still carving!  No waste of a good bird in our house.

 

Do you use your turkey for left overs other than

sandwiches layered with stuffing and cranberry?

 

(That's how my husband makes them. 

I just like the bread, turkey and mayonnaise and I'm good.)

 

I made Turkey Chili yesterday.

 

I am making Turkey Enchiladas today.

 

And then probably a Turkey Casserole of some sort tomorrow.

 

Here is a link to a post I wrote a couple years ago

that has a few more ideas and the links to the recipes.

 

For those of you in the US that celebrate Thanksgiving

I hope you had a blessed holiday with your family.

 

Although we had a couple empty chairs this year,

we still remembered those we love and lost.

We had a wonderful day filled with

lots of family, food and laughter.

 

 

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

Can I just say, CANCER sucks!

 

Yup, that is it in a nut shell.

 

Been pretty quiet around here.

 

These past couple weeks have been pretty difficult.

 

We found out that not one but two people in our lives have this dreaded disease.

 

One, my uncle, who has been more like a father to me for years.

 

I lived with his wife and him for many years growing up. 

She passed in 2005.  May she rest in peace.

 

Grew up with their boys.  More like my brothers.

He has Lymphoma.

 

Although, treatable it has invaded most of his lymph nodes

and has caused lots of complications with other organs.

 

We are taking things day by day.

 

He has been in ICU since October 15th

and not sure when he will be getting out.

 

He had his first full round of chemo

and will have another tail end of next week.

 

It has been rough.

 

But I have to keep things in perspective.

 

I can come home to my immediate family.

 

I am not stuck in ICU fighting for my life

or putting poison in my body to fight poison.

 

It is even more rough for him. 

I know he is struggling.

But he is a fighter.

 

"Have faith", he tells me the other day.

 

He obviously could sense I was feeling a bit hopeless.

He is the one that is sick but yet is comforting me.

That is who he is.

Now it is time to let us take care of and comfort you.

 

 I do have faith and will continue to have faith.

 

I believe he is going to kick cancers butt. 

They don't know what an ornery, stubborn man they are dealing with.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

As I believe my dear friend who was diagnosed

with breast cancer a few weeks ago will kick it too.

YOU GOT THIS!

 

She started chemo this past week.

What a dear sweet friend she is.

She loves God, her family & friends.

She has three children and a loving husband

who adore her and she them. 

 

 

 

 

I pray for them daily.

For their healing.

For strength to keep fighting.

For comfort for them and their loved ones.

To give the doctors who are caring for them the wisdom to treat them.

For them to not lose the faith when it is so easy to do.

 

 

Will you pray for them too?

Phew. Is it that time already?

 

 

Time flies when you're having fun.

 

 

You know what I'm talking about.

 

 

Yup, the lazy days of summer

 

are now merely just a dream.

 

 

Heck, they were always a dream to me.

 

It seems like summer was more busy then the school year

and we really didn't do a whole lot.

 

 

Funny how that works.

 

Did you have a nice summer?

 

Kids back in school now?

 

 

 

 

 

I am linking my post up with Cate

 It all came down to this.

 

 Just like that, up in flames.

 

I quit my job this past Monday in case you didn't know. 

 

Read more about it here.

 

I really wanted to leave with my head high.

 

But when one has to beg for their final paycheck
because owner is having a power trip.

 

Humiliating is a good word that comes to mind.

 

 

 I worked for this company for 17 years. 

 

And was treated like day old trash when it came down to leaving.

 

I left on Thursday instead of February 8th.

 

I get some extra paid time off so that is positive.

 

But still 17 years of blood, sweat and tears and still *business is business*

 

No common human decency. 

 

Came back from lunch on Thursday.  Locked out of everything.

 

I didn't make this decision to quit lightly.

 

But man, after Thursday wonder what took me so long.

 

I should have done it sooner.

I deserve more for my capabilites.

I deserve to be respected.

I deserve the same loyalty, that I showed for 17 years.

 

In the end, what goes around comes around I guess.

 

I don't mean to sound spiteful by any means

but it is hard not to under the circumstances.

 

Wow! What a week.

 

 

This is it though. 

No more talking about my past with

regard to my former job after this post.

 

I had my pity party Thursday and Friday morning.

 

Onto greener pastures.

 

Yes, I have a new job.

 

Better pay.

 

Better benefits.

 

Better growth.

 

Onward and upward I go.

 

The possibilities are endless.

 

 

 

 

I linked my post up with 6WS at Cate's Showmyface.com.

 

Want to?

 

Post about what is going on in your life right now in 6 words.

 

Make it fun.

 

Elaborate.

 

Pictures.

 

Whatever works for you.

 

Just do it and then visit some of the other great blogs.

 

This is one of my favorite memes.

 

Love all the blogs there.

 

I haven't been reading them enough though. 

 

I am going to take some time this next week and do that.

 

Have a great weekend!
