Sorry Guys but I am going private :-(

After much thought and debate I am going private with this blog. I hate this because I have met some really nice people an example: Garlic Man he is not a follower but a devoted reader. Anyway, I have had it with her snooping and here is the story-

Wyoming, Michigan arrived from blogger.com on "Adventures in Ellis County and the Dollar Store


Me and my hubby met after he got divorced from the ex-wife from hell. She had a long affair with her boss and the marriage ended after she filed for divorce. She always blames me for thier divorce which is so strange since they were divorced before we were married. She has gone so far as to call me a "homewrecker" which is so funny because again they were divorced before we met. I think and yes,this is my opinion. Crawling into bed with another man while still married and then filing for divorce is what ended that marriage. but even that aside THEY WERE DIVORCED WHEN WE MET!


Well, Attila as we will refer to her (by the way I thought that was her name because that is the only name my husband used when referring to her) This will be my last post ever about you!!!!!So anyway, when we were dating she didn't live far from him and one Sat morning I was leaving his house and Attila comes out of nowhere screaming and beating on the window of my truck. This was the first time I ever saw the beast.


I debated on going further with the relationship because as you know I had a sister murdered due to domestic violence and I don't believe in physical violence which is her thing.


I did continue to date him and I am not saying there were not other issues involved but they were totally separate from her. We married after 3 months of dating.


We had planned our wedding and she got wind of the date and so we got married the day before at the house of a dear friend and pastor who just happens to be a police officer in my hometown.


Well she found out after the fact and when we got home she flipped yet again with threats of violence and threats to the kids and harm to her self. We called the cops and they go over to her apartment and guess who ended up in the psych ward?


He has 3 kids and they were school age at the time and one lived with us and the others visited on the weekends and whenever cuz she basically lived around the corner. Well, we had to call the police more than once and she basically continued to be a nut.


She hit my husband in the parking lot of a softball field one day because I was there watching a game my stepdaughter was playing in and she was yelling and screaming blah. blah blah.. this was her way. There a a million incidents such as this.


So one night all the kids are over and we are watching movies and she calls and all hell ensues because of the simple fact that the kids were near me. She comes over to our house and we are out on the porch and she proceeds to grab me and start hitting me. All this in front of her kids! I did not hit back! She hit me in my eye and now I am forever partially blind in this eye. She was arrested. She has never apologized or paid my medical bills for this. She bragged to her kids how she kicked my ass. I don't believe that the fact she resorted to physical violence is something to brag about especially in front of the kids. Small minds must resort to physical violence when they lack maturity.


Like I said, I put up with her bull for alot of years and there are so many times she threw her kids to the the curb or pitted the kids against their Dad and me its unreal.


The relationship between me and my step kids is strained because, I believe of the constant B.S. and I regret that but, if I ever tried to be a part of their life or attend their activities she always started something. So, I made the choice not to go to things like graduations for their sake I didn't want them to have to be embarrassed. It is not that I didn't care or want to be there. I am proud of each of you and despite what ya think I care and wish I could be a postive part of your lives.


I do care about them dearly but I don't think we will ever really have a close relationship. I don't think it is right to make a kid choose or be put in the middle.



I have NEVER done anything to this person. I tried to be civil with her. In fact to tell the truth I only remember only having had one direct conversation with her. She lives in the past and remains angry over things that happened so many years ago that where before my marriage to Critter. I have simply had it. She acts as if she is entitled or something.
I think she reads my blog to find things that she can use against my hubby or the kids who are now grown! I don't know. and frankly I no longer care! but my blog is personal to me and that I do care about.
I tell you of the past and bring it up so I can explain my reasons for going private.


Well, this past May his last child turned 18 and has gone into the service and Attila has moved to Mich. (YES WE ARE SO HAPPY BOUT THAT!) but for some reason the woman reads my blog.


This confuses me. WHY? What is the reason? My life and my thoughts are not her business!!!!!! So, with much regret I am going PRIVATE. I will always allow followers just send me a note and would be happy to link ya up! I will send all my current followers an invitation to follow


This post will remain up for a couple of days and then I will go private Sat mornin.

Yes, Its true my hometown has Unibombers

Plot to Blow Up a Building in DallasBy THE ASSOCIATED PRESSPublished: September 24, 2009DALLAS (AP) — A 19-year-old Jordanian was arrested Thursday on charges that he plotted to bomb a skyscraper in Dallas, federal officials said.
A statement from the United States attorney’s office in Dallas said the Jordanian, Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, was arrested after putting what he thought was a bomb at the 60-story Fountain Place office tower.
The device had been given to him by an undercoverF.B.I. agent.The Federal Bureau of Investigation had been monitoring the man, who lived in Italy, Tex. He is charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Court documents do not list a defense lawyer.


Yes, this is my town
Yes, I am tired of some of our local citizens trying to get their 15 mins of fame on the local news
(Please, put a bra on before you talk to the media and give your "He was so normal" speech)
Yes, It is news but do we need to hear the same thing over and over ????
Yes, the FBI has the guy dead to rights and Thank the Lord nothing happened and no one was hurt.

I am so weak

If you knew me you would not be surprised.

I buy my gifts early each year for Christmas and give them at Thanksgiving.
My gifts are always themed around my Logo the "WJ".
It's my way to keep my dad and sister alive and in the gift giving broo-haha.

"Why is that Scrappy?"

Well, because I know of a personal instance that a gift was bought and wrapped for someone just waiting for Christmas to roll around so it could be given on the happy holiday.
The gift giver had past away and in the process of going through the belongings of the deceased the gift was found.
I found it so sad. It was a great gift and the person, I am sure would have loved the reaction it would have gotten upon being opened in their presence. Instead, it was a somber occasion.
So yours truly will never have a wrapped gift waiting for you. Yes, I will buy a gift. Yes, I will wrap the gift. However, you will unwrap it about 2 minuets after I wrap it.
I will see you expression and we will be happy.

"So why at Thanksgiving Scrappy?"

Because I don't care for shopping crowds and you will probably be at your other relatives on Christmas. SO Merry Christmas on the last Thursday in November!

"So why bring this up today Scrappy?"

Well, Critter's B-day is Oct 16 and I bought and wrapped his gifts last night.
Guess who opened their B-day gifts last night???

Happy Birthday Critter on September 23rd :-)

Grocery Shopping for the kids and...


We got the kids their groceries this weekend and I still need about 5 more round bales.

(Yes, we need a dually and a trailer to grocery shop for our kids)

Went to church Sat night for game night and there was a good turnout. Critter won at Chickenfoot :-)

Watched movies and nursed sore muscles. That was our weekend. I didn't even turn the puter on all weekend. I see got a bunch of blogs to catch up on.

It's just a non-stop exciting pace here at WJ Farms LOL

Have a great week

The Lord has answered our prayers

No the pics are not in order- When a horse stays in the run to stay out of the rain, they tend to make mountains

How glorious!!!! were flooding over the road but, I am not one to gripe when we have had no rain in 3 months

I've decided and the Lord willing

I have made up my mind.
I had moved to Dallas in my late 20's to attend school. I got side tracked things with the school itself got jumbled so I didn't go.
If Critter and I can get rid of this mortgage with the house on Main then I can either stop work or work part-time.
Well, folks I am going back to school the spring semester starts in March and I will finish in 2.5 years and have my license as a Funeral Director.
Critter is so supportive and I think it's the right time.
I love the Nursing Home industry and have done it a majority of my adult life but, I need a change of occupation. The government reimbursement to nursing homes get worse every year and pretty soon no one will be able to get assistance to pay the bill or will have the resources to pay out of pocket.
The government is leaving the elderly out ,believe me.
Now, if ya wanna have 10 kids and get public aide- Your set. (My opinion and do send me hate mail)

A bad day at Black Rock




I confess. I got pulled over Fri for doing 93 mph
Yes, I admit I was speeding and Yes I admit I got off with a warning :-) I promised my local police officer I would not do it again.
I have not had a ticket in a good 15 years or more. I do not have much contact with the police, seeing as how I am a boring old lady LOL!
I saw this pic in our local paper and some guy hit a trooper. Now here in Texas ya really don't want to mess with these upstanding law enforcement guys. My guess is, this guy who ran the light is in a world of poop!
Have a great Day!!!!!!

Pickles is under the weather

So as you know, I imported Pickles from the big city to the sticks to help me with my nutritional handicap.
Well, guess who cooked dinner for two? Yes, I had to pull up the menu online and go to the restaurant and wait in line and set the table and do the dishes.
Pickles went to the doctor yesterday and her blood pressure is up and she has some bad chest congestion.
I cooked the meal and made sure she was comfortable.(role reversal)
I was leaving for work this morning and I woke her up and gave her coffee and she said she is feeling alot bettter.
I told her that I am looking forward to when I get off work at 5 to a good home cooked meal :-)
