finally....whew!
Well things seem to be settling down a little..no more drama going on for the moment. It is, however, to fricken hot to even think of going outside. I really am beginning to hate the summers here. I would like to go out and work in my yard (have grown to love it when I can actually breath outside, which I can't do in this heat and humity). My husband and I are considering with the next few years moving to somewhere that gives me the ability to actually step outside all year long. This would be very nice for me. Just a dream for now, but we are considering it...Hope everyone's weekend has been great and the week to come even better

Ok this is an addition to the last post....OMG will it ever quit!
Ok after all the other BS that happened...we were sitting in our home when our electric went out for about 6 hours...in the Texas heat of about 97 degrees...argh! Then when it came back on the internet did not work...which would not be so bad but I live the internet...this lasted for 4 days due to inept employees not know what they were doing...try to do without the internet for 4 days when your banking, socializing, family contact, etc are all done on here....so as it goes life goes on....can't wait to what else is in store for us...lmao!!!!

When it rains it pours.....
Have you ever had time when one action starts a series of things and all of them are not good?
We live in the country and hence own a septic tank for things going out of the house and well for water coming into the house.
Our schedule for last week of May and the month of June were as follows...
1. Brother-in-law wedding the last Friday of May
2. Nephew-in-law wedding the last Sunday of May
3. First week of June my 25 year old stepdaughter moves back home to California after 2 yrs of wasted time in college (one classes to get an Associates degree that has taken 7 years to get and she walked away to be with a boy....argh parenthood sometimes is a pain in the ass!)
4. Needless to say she left the room in an absolute mess ...beyond mess pigs live cleaner (ever notice that kids today live like disgusting slobs? No matter how hard you get them to clean it is a massive arguement and struggle not worth dealing with...I just know that I will never eat at their homes...and I know this is not just my children...mine were not raised this way!) This took us over 3 days to clean the room and since she was leaving we decided (not at a good time) to reorganize things so the room would now be my craft room which required massive moving of things so the house was a disaster for over a week...argh!
5. In the mist of hurricane stepdaughter my youngest son and my husband and my's younges child of six graduated high school (the 22 of June)....woot woot!!! So off to New Jersey (16th of June) with hurricane stepdaughter still blowing in our home.
6. Got home only to discover that our home was burglarized! It was such a diaster to begin with the hurricane in it and all has taken weeks to discover what all was taken...sure the hurricane scared the helll out of the robbers...(by the way found out it is not considered a robbery unless you were home....trust me was chewed out by the Police and Insurance company about the misuse of this term...argh! This was around the 23 of June.
7. We had approximately 5 days to get the house in order as on the 28th of June we were expecting 3 family members and 2 dogs to arrive from Minnesota (after they drove straight through to Texas)...so this was a hurry hurry situation....but loved the outcome as my home has never been that clean since my children got old enough to argue back about cleaning...argh!
8. Well the day before the company was to arrive our Water well motor went out...OMG!! No water 5 people and 5 dogs (we owned 3)!!!!! So bless the great husband I have he was able to fix not only the septic but now the water well with minimal expense...Thank you God for your blessing...truely!
9. Once the well was fixed we found out that the kitchen sink faucet was broken and would not depense water of more than adribble...argh! (this was the day before company was to arrive...actually the night before...no time to get it fixed that day...but my glorious husband tried to.
10. June 28th and company arrives..yippee!!! I love my family...a little background here...my sister and her wife brought my niece and her 1 1/2 year old daughter and her dogs to deliver said two dogs to stay with us for a year while her and her husband (who left the previous Monday) were sent to Afganistan to fight for our Country...!! So now we have 5 1/2 people and 5 dogs and no kitchen faucet! My husband during this commotion bought and installed a new faucet and sink...did I say I love him?!
11. On July 1st my Army son arrived for a weeks stay...Well as of today July 8 my son left to go back to Aurora, Co. is duty station. Now we have hurricane Son to clean up after....argh!
But after all is said and done....I am blessed!...Had wonderful family over...the love of 2 new dogs for a year (the least I could do for family and Soldiers who protect my way of life..by the way her Mom and wife are keeping the baby for year...what cool parents are they?!!! ...the best) the ability to repair items that needed fixing for a minimal amount and having the ability to afford insurance to cover the burglary and the fact no one was home at the time and a great husband to boot!..God must love me!

ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
Ever notice that when you want sleep you are wide awake and when you need to stay up you are falling asleep in your food? I have been going on months with little to no sleep because my body just did not want to sleep. My mind now was exhausted and cussing out my body every chance it got. Did you know that if you do not sleep after 3 days you start hallucinating? I started at 5 days....! I have taken sleeping pills, natural remedies and just about everything you can think of...and nothing.!
Now..............
All of a sudden I can barely keep my eyes open at all. I am about to fall asleep in my food, chair, desk, outside...basically anywhere you can think of. I am exhausted all the time and have no clue why. Now I am drinking coffee like I own the stupid company (they will have all money by the time I am done). Oh...well the cycles of life continue....
Have a good normal nights sleep....coolios

Mister Mister
This is the last arrival to our home. Named Mister Mister...he is a mess. He is a Shi izu we got to mate with our female Madison (she will make her way to the blog later). He has what I call a funky lip...his little tooth sticks out a bit causing his lip to catch on it. He sits up for minutes on end as if he is talking to you. He will play with anything, alone or with you or another dog (he tries Gail kitty our cat (she will be on later as well) but Gail will have none of that and scares him too much for him to attempt anything other than to catch a whiff of her if he can..lol.
He does not run but hops like a rabbit... too cute. He decided that Luis would be his master and they are buddies to the end. He actually whimpers and whines when Luis leaves the house until he comes back. I was in the bathroom this morning getting dressed to go out and whining was not enough he had to come to the bathroom and whine so someone knew he was unhappy....We call him Meester Meester...and I call him cutie patootie...Love you Meester Meester...
This was his Halloween costume...he fits the bill....lol

The Wonder of Fedex......
Do you ever think of how you feel when the fed-ex truck pulls into your driveway? Doesn't really seem to matter what they are delivering it is exciting and thrilling...just like opening a present on Christmas day. It is a package of whatever that you have anticipated and desired and waited for. Un-packing the box and looking inside is like opening a gift...there are tons of paper, foam, plastic, and pieces...
I order a drawing table (saved my husband money...he loves it when I do that)...that I intend on using for artworks and for sewing as a cutting table.....duel purpose....
Fedex brought it today and I was so excited I am telling you like a kid at Christmas. Loved it loved it loved it...putting the table together was a lot of fun. So now I have a place to draw and sew.
Hope everyone gets a package this week....coolios.

The pool incident!!!!
Ok for those that know me well know that I can hurt myself no matter what the situation...kinda like I will spill food on me 98% of the time I eat...klutzy I guess you would say...
So on to the pool incident....My husband and I were mowing the yard (now this is about a 1 1/2 to 2 acre yard and our riding mower is broke at the moment...Living in Texas it gets really HOT!! so we bought a 12 x 15 pool something just to sit in and cool off.
Well it has rained for the last several days and the pool got pretty full of water...now one side of the pool is a little lower than the other because we did not wait to put it up before we laid cement to level it... I was HOT and wanted in it.....well I was in the pool and was working on getting on my raft and big bunch of water flowed over the side and got my iphone wet (NOT too funny)...but dried out so its cool.....well got on the raft just chillaxin and floating around.
Well during the floating around being all cool and stuff I floated to the side that is lower than the other ...needless to say this caused the water to flow over the top and YES me with it in one big swoosh!!! Landed on my ass in the cockaroach position....if you don't know what that it is on your ass with legs and arms flaying in the air....lol ......I screamed then laughed my ass off....I knew my boys would have loved to see this happen...I can hear them now ...Oh Mom....you are no longer allowed in the pool....
Remind me to tell you about the skateboard incident...(not allowed on those anymore either ....lol)

Living in my WOW world.....!
Those that know me know I play World of Warcraft. I didn't think I would like the game and couldn't understand why people would pay to play it. Well I gave it a try because this is how I keep in touch with my Son in New Jersey. A parent has to do what a parent has to do to be close to their kids. Well I love it!!! It is so much fun and I have meet people from all over the world. I actually have people I know that are now facebook friends. How cool is that. I never really thought of myself as a computer geek but that is what my kids call me. Then when I think back I have played computer games since the inception of the first one...
Pong!..who does not know pong? I was a Super Mario master. My 2nd Husband Doug and I played with friends in the Army all the time... We had parties and if you messed on things you drank a shot etc... Good food, friends, liqueur and games....couldn't get any better!
Back to my WOW...my main toon (what the call your characters) is named Elyndra a level 80 (highest you can go at the moment) is a Mage ( my opinion the best class in the game...!!). There are two sides the good (Alliance) and the bad (Horde). Can you guess what side I am on? THE HORDE of course!
Will teach you more on the WOW topic later...but for now have a GREAT DAY and coolios to you...!

First of the Last and best of the worst.....
Let's see to start with my name is Rhonda. Let me clarify that I am NOT a writer. Just a southern girl speaking her mind and telling her life and like it that way. Yes I have an accent and say ya'll (but only when I talk to more than one person..hence you all). I lived in Louisiana most of my life so consider that my place of origin so to speak. My blog title is from my husband's daughters name C for Chela and E for Elisa and beauty for their spirits. My husband also served in the Coast Guard so Cebeauty fits all the way around. My philosophy has always been "that things could always be worse" therefore Cebeauty in the life you have....
If you notice I do a lot of .... always have don't really know why....but it is me lol (laughing out loud for those that don't computer talk).
Since this is my first post I will tell you only the basics of who I am and you can see if you are interested in learning more. I can say this .... my life is filled with things that happen. My son says I am "that guy" if things happen it will happen to "that guy" ...know what I mean?
This will have to be the end of the first blog...getting tired and want to sleep if I can....(first thing to know about me is I have the worst time sleeping...I go days without it and when I do sleep it is only a few hours or so. So you can understand when I am sleepy I better take advantage of it..!!!)
Well coolio's for now....
