A ghost in the house?

Yesterday I was being completely lazy and didn't bother getting out of bed early but I was rudely pulled out of my semi-sleep by someone or something yanking the covers off of me. When I looked around I saw no one and figured it was nothing. I pulled them back up and went back to sleep. Then a little while later it happened again. I looked around but again no one was there. I looked under the bed and around the room but I was completely alone. I called out but no one answered. I walked downstairs periodically calling out but no one answered. I looked in the garage, there was no car. No one was home but me. It creeped me but I shook it off and tried to act like an adult and not a scared little girl.

I went upstairs and started a shower. I got undressed (no I will not go into any details), turned off the light in the closet and closed the door. I got in the shower and was relaxing in the hot water when I heard the cat hissing. I wiped the steam from the shower door to find my cat having a hissy fit. I caulked it up to the cat just being a cat and went on with my shower. When I finished I opened the door and toweled myself off. That's when I noticed something was wrong. The door to the closet was open. The light was still off and I felt a cold chill run down my back. I walked (fairly quickly) to the top of the stairs and started yelling to see if anyone was home yet.

No answer.   

I was alone.

I went back and stood there in the middle of the room just listening. I don't know what I was really listen for but I didn't really know what to do and I felt scared. I knew I had to go to the closet to get clothes but I really didn't want to. I saw the cat sleeping under the bed and grabbed him. I figured if there was still something in the closet the cat would hiss again. We, cat and I, walked to the closet and he didn't have an issue. I walked in and turned on the light. I saw nothing out of place. The clothes were still folded on the shelves, the dirty clothes were still in the hamper and my shoes were thrown everywhere. I grabbed what I needed and got out of the closet as soon as I could. 

I was chicken to go back in. An hour later everyone came home and they found me downstairs holding on to my dog for support and security. What a wuss I felt like. There have been other "things" happening and I will keep you all informed of my new adventure.

Until then...

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

It's been three months....

Okay it's been three months since I started this journey. I had decided to stop being a slave to my fake nails and go all natural. For better or worse, I wanted to stop putting so many chemicals in and on my body and just let nature take it's course. Having said that, I knew I was in for a rough ride. For starters, I have been wearing solar/acrylic nails since I was sixteen years old. I now have a 16 year old daughter of my own, so you do the math...I will not help.  Anyway, The first two months were hard. My nails were so thin and weak that I could actually bend what little nail I had backwards without pain. So I cut my nails down to the quick and decided to start new. I first started with using Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps but found out that they have formaldehyde in it. So I changed. I over to Nail-Aid's Keratin and 3 Minute Artificial. It is made in America and does not use formaldehyde and does NOT test on animals.  So, I saw little to no improvement...
