Dreams

I found this website that tells what your dreams mean. Enter a word and click the interpret link and it will tell you what your dreams are suppose to mean. Start here:

http://www.dreammoods.com/

When I entered what I have been dreaming about lately this is what I received:

To dream that you are trapped or caught in a trap, suggests that you are feeling confined and restricted in your job, career, health, or a personal relationship. You may be in a rut or tired of the same daily monotony.

Hmmm...THAT sure sounds correct. I AM tired of the same daily monotony! Here’s another:

To dream that you are drowning, signifies that you are overwhelmed by emotions or
repressed issues that is coming back to haunt you. You may be proceeding too quickly in trying to discover your unconscious thoughts.


Correct again! Wow! Overwhelmed...you betcha!

To dream that you or something is sinking, suggests that you are feeling overwhelmed and that someone or something is pulling your down. You may be experiencing lowered self-esteem and confidence. Alternatively, some important and significant stage in your life may be coming to an end. Consider what is sinking and its significance.

Again, notice the ‘overwhelmed’ word. An important and significant stage of my life is coming to an end? Hmmm? And finally:


To dream that you are stuck, represents helplessness and feeling of being unable to escape from life's problems/stress. You have lost confidence in yourself and in your ability to move ahead in your life. Your lack of clear goals and low self-esteem may be a common cause for such dreams.

I’m suppose to be unable to escape from life’s problems and stress? Heck, that has been easy for me lately. I have dropped the ball and dumped jobs in people’s laps without notice to anyone. I am an adult and don’t take responsibility for anything I do anymore. I have eliminated tons of stress issues but according to the above statement there is more to release. Guess if you are the one stressing me, you will be next!

Have a nice day ;-)

Thanks Tony!

Just 14 miles north of our small town of Crothersville there was some flooding in the city of Seymour and further north the city of Columbus. To the northwest of us the town of Medora was also flooded.

After the terrible flooding in the area, Tony Stewart, hometown Columbus Indiana, said he would donate the portion of his winnings from the Michigan NASCAR race to the American Red Cross. The total winnings for finishing fifth ws $137,000. Tony's share was $55,000, which he donated as promised.

What a nice gesture! Thanks Tony.

Last week, my husband, who does store maintenance for the Jay-C Foods stores, told me a story that just totally pissed me off.

He was in Seymour working when he over-heard an elderly man describing the water damage he had to his property in Medora. Evidently, this man had a few inches of water under his house. He was laughing as he told the story of how he turned in damage to his home when there wasn't any. How the Red Cross was helping him because of his water damage. This guy was purchasing a small amount of food items because the Red Cross would feed him three times a day and it didn't cost him anything and why should he spend his money?

It makes me angry when there are people who need help, won't ask because of their pride, but then the people that flat out lie for the free handout.

Summer Time

By the picture below you can tell it is summer time:

That is right, it is baseball time again. That means long, hot days at the ball park. Patrick has 'graduated' from the 9-12 year old Little League division to the 13-15 year old Pony League.

It's funny how time changes things. I remember the boys from last year and their parents hating Patrick's team, the Yankees. Now the boys are playing on the same team. The parents are cheering for the boys they used to be against.

It's funny rubbing shoulder to shoulder with the parent who told me to "get by drunk ass back in the dug out and shut up!" This was last year when I was coaching Patrick's 9-12 year old team and our sponsor was Tommy's. I guess since Tommy's name was on the chest of my shirt, that meant I sat on one of his bar stools too. Funny how ignorant some parents are, isn't it?

Sometimes I wish I could go back and play in the pee wee and little league again...but with this Pony League team, it is a different world.

Being on the outside of the fence, rather than in the coaching position makes it nice to just go to the games, enjoy them, and come home.

Sadly, we have went from four teams down to only one. Luckily, we got into a league in Madison, but we have to travel to Madison, Vevay, New Washington and Columbus two to three times a week. With gas over $4 bucks a gallon, it might get expensive.

We had our first game last Saturday at Madison. It wasn't pretty, but for our first game with this team, it wasn't too bad. We play Thursday at New Washington, and I'm excited to see our improvement. (hopefully)

Chris Lanning, son of Linda Schill-Lanning-Luedeman, and David Luedeman, son of Charlene Gillaspy-Luedeman-Goebel, are the coaches. Again, I love driving to the game, then just coming home. Not having to worry about a line-up, the schedule, umpires, etc. I really do not miss those days!

I'll keep everyone posted on the other parents!

Something New

I was just looking through some internet pages and actually forgot what I was looking for when I ran across a page that said I could add something to my blog! Wow! How interesting.

I now have on the left side of the page a list of people that were born on today's date. I also have 'Today in History' information. Now you will know some important things that happened on today's date! ;-)

When I added these two new things, I also noticed I haven't posted a blog since Memorial Day the last of May! Hmmm, I guess I have been busy. I have lots of ideas, now I just need to find some time to jot down my thoughts, or better yet, get it off my chest! Ha!

If you are reading this, check back soon and hopefully I will get some time to add my thoughts and probably some pictures too!
