The first part of the month of October was very busy for Heaven's Best Carpet Cleaning. I was helping Ron Every day. My house looked it too. My babysitter was great with the children and I didn't expect her to keep up on the house too. Its enough work with a three year old, and 18 month old and a 5 month old. She did wonderful! I miss her! Since she has started school I have had to be home. Leaving Ron to go out in the dark and dreary world alone!
I have seen him grow. I have seen him too exhausted I try really hard not to feel guilty. I love to go with him. I love the people, I love the work, I love to be busy. He is doing so much better. I am very proud of him. There were a few days I would feel impressed to call and just say. I LOVE YOU.....YOU CAN DO THIS! YOU CAN DO THIS. In return he would say.......What are you smoking? LOL!!! I know, blew myself away. I'm not used to being that AWARE of him!
Our Relief Society lesson about a month ago was Joseph Smith telling us to greet our spouses with Love and affection. They do NOT need our harshness too. The World gives it to them... and plenty of it! Ron is very blessed he works in a business that people LOVE YOU! They NEED you and best of all.......They PAY YOU! LOL!
This past weekend I attended my 5th Time Out For Women. I drove to Kansas City with Pam Carlson, Liz Kofoed, Ann Beins, Lori Carlson. I loved it! The drive went super fast. Only the last half our of our trip home I started to feel tired. I came home and crashed. Sorry Ron, LOL!
There are so many highlights I could talk about. I loved the sisterhood we had in the vehicle. The talk, the testimonies, and the spirit. The laughter. The only thing I truly missed was my bestest buddy coming. Stacy called and said her whole house was sick and couldn't attend. I hope she felt our love for her.
We got a great suprise. We were sad that Sheri Dew couldn't attend but John Bytheway wore her name tag with pride. He is so funny. More so in person because we got to see his expressions.
I didn't fall asleep during S. Michael Wilcox this time. I am so glad! They learned not to put him after lunch. LOL!!! The bestest speaker for me was Kris Belcher. Yes......like a burp! She said her brother used to burp on her answering machine! LOL!! She had us crying because we were laughing so hard and crying because of the spirit that was felt. I am so grateful for her! We went up to her afterwards to get our picture taken (she is blind due to tumors) and she asked me if I had any jokes, and I told her she stole all my jokes. Lori took our picture with my camera and then I asked if we could take one with Pams camera and she said no problem then I asked her if the Flash bothered her. She laughed........she told me that was a good one and that she was going to use that next time! I know I was blind after that flash! LOL!!
Life was good this weekend. I was flying high all the way. I had so much love and energy when I got home (well after a good nights sleep and a nap on Sunday).
I got my whole house cleaned and laundry done on Monday that today I was bored and just played games all day! I have some time to blog. That is amazing!
Adrienne and Chris are coming for a visit this weekend. We are all going to Shai's Play at the High School Les Miserable. Then we are going to Celebrate Karrea's 4th birthday. Her birthday is not until the 7th of November, but its a way to get Adrienne home. haha! Shhh don't tell her!
Adrienne got engaged a few weeks ago. Now we have a wedding to get ready for. I hope all goes well, and anyone that has some helping advice, I'm open to receive it!
Life is good. I have a Coke Zero in one hand and sick kids in another, but this too shall pass. So far I have not yet received it. I'm hoping they choose not to share this time! ha

Scared Spitless!
Saturday on the books was a big house to clean. Snow was in the forcast. Friday Night Adrienne called to let me know she and Chris were going to leave for Denver after their laundry was complete. They were going to spend the night at Josh's house and then head for Nebraska Saturday morning. I told her that Snow was in the forcast. "are you kidding me, It's beautiful here!" NOPE, I'm not kidding.
While cleaning the carpets upstairs (Ron was working on the downstairs) I got the impression to call Adrienne. Shai called me, asking about Homecoming that night, and I asked her if she would do me a favor and call Adrienne and Chris. She called back with this message.
Mom, Adrienne is stuck in a ditch. 'does she know where she is at?' No, she thinks she is 30 miles from "someplace" and about 200 miles from home. She says she is freezing, dirty and cold, she had to go because the cell phone was dying! Shai, is she okay? I don't know. What? Mom, I don't know any details, that is all I know! She had a tone with me. I freaked out! Don't get a tone with me, I need to know EVERYTHING.......did she mention Mile marker or if she was in Colorado or Nebraska. NO mom, she didn't tell me anything else.
OKAY!!!!!!!! FREAKY FREAKY LADY COMES OUT! I yell down to Ron what Shai told me. We are completely worried. Ron has lived through those exact words. STUCK, COLD, FREEZING PHONE DYING! Not a good place to BE.
I call the Police, after I call on the Lord for guidance!
The Police station advices me to call the state patrol out of North Platte. I don't know if they are in Nebraska or Colorado. I call Chris's Mom Trish. His sister Brit answers the phone. I tell her the message I get. She calls for her mom. Trish gets on the phone, I ask if she has spoken to Chris or Adrienne lately. NO. So I tell her the message I got. She feels helpless, as do I. I mention that maybe they as a family could get in a prayer circle. By this time I'm crying! Picturing horrible things! As much as she (Adrienne) makes me want to scream, I do love her and wish her ALL the good things in life.
Funny how I had just told Morgan the crazy songs on my IPod were all about DEATH. IS THAT A SIGN? I asked myself! So that didn't help much with my "over reacting"
Trish hasn't heard from the kids, so I call the North Platte State Patrol, ask for help. Maggie answers the phone. I tell her the message I received and asked her to help me. She gave me the number for the Colorado State Patrol. She is sending an officer out to "find" them. I call Colorado. I get a STUPID STUPID Answering machine! Who the heck has an answering machine! Is that where Colorado tax money goes? Could you hold please? UGH!
As I'm holding and listening to "Soothing" music I see a phone call coming in ADRI. I say......Where are you? ARe you Okay? MOM.......WERE FINE! (uh oh, I hear a tone!) This is why Chris didn't want me to say anything. We didn't want you to worry. 'Are you upset with me? You are NOT yelling at me. the phone went dead. UM....she did NOT hang up, bad connection.
I call back. There was that tone. I totally started to bawl. You are NOT mad at me for being scared! The phone went dead again. A few other words were said, but I don't know what all she heard or said!
Here is the STUPID part! According to Adrienne, the tow truck driver told them that if the State Patrolman "rescued them" there would be a fee. What the heck was HE SMOKING! Isn't the state patrolman a public safety MAN! UGH! some people's hillbilly helpers!
Chris calls me. He is listening to what I have to say. Based on the info I received, wouldn't you be worried? He helped me calm down.
Tears streamed down my face for almost 2 hours. 1. She could have been freezing to death. 2. She could be lost and I am helpless "200 miles from home" 3. She was made that I was worried! What is UP with THAT?
My friend Stacy helped me collect myself so I could follow through, but I was a mess! I tried to talk to another friend about the food situation, but my thoughts were on a freezing child!
While on the phone Adrienne called and left a message apologizing! Mom, I love you, I'm sorry I was rude, please forgive me! It took a couple of hours for me to cool off and NOT be upset, scared, worried. By the time they arrived at 6:15 I was good, clean makeup on, and clean clothes. All was well. I hugged them extra long. Chris hugged me first! I don't even remember if Adrienne hugged me.
I can't wait til they have children! HAHA!

In the REAL world
Ron is out on his own today. He was out yesterday too. It's hard for him. I feel bad. Talking to people is fun for me, and comes easy. I never meet a stranger! so people tell me. It is very painful for him! He is a hard worker, an excellent worker, but when it comes to talking he HATES IT! He is so afraid he is going to sound stupid. Don't we all sound stupid? come on! Get some nerve buddy!! You can do it! Or find a baby sitter so I can help! LOL
I was in the shower and I usually get "revelation" and so I got out and dressed and Called him.....RON, I love you! You can do this! "are you smoking something?" NO! I was in the shower and you know how I get impressions. I just had to call and say I love you! You can do this You're a big boy now! sing it with me I'M A BIG BOY NOW! He laughed! See you later!

Eye Openers!
Some random thoughts again!
Sunday it was Shai and I at home. Ron was over at his grandma's house helping his mom. I sat in bed and watched and enjoyed General Conference. I have never been able to do that before. Was kind of sad when Shai was displeased when I asked her to watch it. She didn't feel like it! What? She is my spiritual giant. What is she fighting? I think its the music she listens too. She thinks I'm just being old fashioned.
With almost everyone being gone Sunday, I did my usual. Lay around and eat. Why oh why do I do that? I couldn't tell you exactly what I ate, I think I ate everything! I called Ron around 6:30 or so and asked what his plans were. I could tell he was going to go to McCook. I was right. I packed him and Karrea's stuff. Justice came home and said he wanted to help dad unload the stuff they were going to take over to McCook, so I let him go. (good thing the school called and checked up on his absence, I forgot!) He got packed up and they were gone!
What was I going to do with myself on Monday? Oh, Ya, I have two little boys that come over. No such luck of having my day to myself.
I got up at 6:00 am Monday. What? The alarm for Adrienne's birthday went off at 6:00 am! DANG! I got dressed and crawled back into bed. Shai got me up, are you taking me to seminary? UGH! YEP! She was 20 minutes late. She was having a bad hair day! LOL!! I got home just in time for the boys to show up! He didn't realize no one was home. He left the boys in the house. He walked out, I walked in! WHEW!!! That was great timing! I am usually supposed to stay at the church. There needs to be 2 adults with the students at all times, but this time I couldn't stay. Hope all went well!
Got the boys breakfast, and changed their pants and I got a shower. Lunch time, and nap time. I got out the receipts for Ron's business and got to paper work. I had cleaned the house on Sunday, took me 30 minutes to clean the whole house! wow, maybe I don't want a big mansion! LOL! (bonnie :P)
I got laundry done, dishes done and life was quiet and good! I played too much on the computer after I got all the paper work done!
Eye opener! I hate thinking! My mind wandered from one spectrum to the other! I hate time off! I hate time to myself with my own stupid thoughts! I thought about Adrienne all day. This was the first birthday EVER she wasn't here! 19 and GONE. We all feel like she is gone! She might as well be in heaven. We'll never get to see her. She is in lala land with Chris. How sad that makes me feel!
I thought about being alone! There was a man at the restaurant (Shai and I went to steak buffet for supper) How sad he looked all by himself. No ring on his hand! I just wanted to go over to him and invite him to sit with us silly girls! My heart was so full of gratitude I had for all of my family!
There are days I just want to be alone! I just can't handle one more sound or thought! But then I have glimpses of loneliness and I'm grateful! I love chaos, and chores, and dishes and babies crying, and diapers to be changed and teenagers told to Turn IT DOWN!
I don't know how my grandma lived the past 6 years in her own body. No being able to talk or walk or do a thing! Did she die because she drove herself crazy in thought? I hope not. One day of me doing that to myself was ENOUGH!
I will just ask for an hour here or there of quiet! LOL!!
I spent 2 hours at the church last night doing E-courses on Family History! Those were the fastest 2 hours of yesterday! You really do lose your self in service! May we all spend a little time on the new.familysearch.org Its a blast!

been awhile
I think I have taken some time to heal some hurt feelings that I have had.
I have also been extremely busy with Heaven's Best Carpet Cleaning. Helping Ron and people is what I was born to do! I LOVE IT! This month we have gotten over 40.00 in tip money. Even when I tell the people Ron is the OWNER, they still give us a 10.00 or more tip. It is wonderful.
I find there are days when I go into someone's home I feel very overwhelmed, thoughts of HOW DO PEOPLE LET THEIR CARPET GET THIS BAD? flood my mind. Then I say.....hey, that is what keeps our bills paid and food on the table. I find it a blessing that people need us.
I have to say, I cringe at the very thought that people actually clean their own carpets. I have done it before too. I also have two rooms of carpet that need stretched out too, steaming cleaning is a bad word! LOL!!! It loosens the backing of your carpet, leaving it stretched out and wet far too long.
I love the products that we use and I love the process and I love helping people.
I will be home more. Our Baby sitter starts school next week. Now Ron has to run the business on his own. We have talked about switching some days. I'll go and clean carpets while he watches the kids. Life was going to good, now there is a wrench in it! I hope it works out! God is very good to us! We may not have all the material things but we are healthy and strong and together! Who knew we would still be together after 21 years!?
You can tell I'm rambling.
Talked with Adrienne today. She and Chris were on their way to general conference. I'm so glad she gets to experience that. They were in Row A I think she said. In the conference center. How sweet is that? I could never give her that experience. I'm sure she is having a better experience anyway. She is not with annoying people, Lol!
Ron is over helping his mom. They are trying to get 4102 Ave H ready to sell. How sad! That is grandpa and grandma's house. What are we going to do now? We have no garage to put our firebird, and tools, and stuff! What is stuff anyway?
Missed Saturday conference. Busy running around. Trying to Help Ron and his mom. I haven't really had a life of my own for awhile. Its always revolving around someone else. I guess that is how God needs it. I don't make good choices on my own anyway! LOL!! Shoot, when I have a day off, I lay in bed watching movies and eat everything in the house! NOT A GOOD THING! So why have free time? It just causes heart burn!
I will attend on Sunday. I like to read the saturday session and watch Sunday. I'm not sure why that is!
Can't wait to see Adrienne on Wednesday. Her birthday is monday the 5th. They were going to be here, but their plans changed. We took the day off for her, but now she will be here a few days later. What do we do? Life goes on! See what I mean by my life revolves around other people. They tell me they are going to be here, I don't schedule any carpet cleaning jobs. They change their minds and we have 2 jobs on Wednesday. Wow. Life is crazy! Life is good!
Those are my ramblings. I'm off to watch a movie!

Labor Day
I get a phone call at 8:30 am on Labor Day. "Did I wake you up" NOPE. "Darn, thought I would get the pleasure of waking you up". Well, I wasn't up, but I was awake. ha ha. "your mother and I thought we would take you to breakfast at McDonald's. Meet us around 9:30?" SURE. I am thinking to myself. UGH, I hate the South McDonald's they ( the employees) have some of the worst hygiene EVER. The service has really been yukky when we have gone and my kids don't eat McDonald's breakfast food.
I hopped in the shower. Ron came in and said that Dustin and Wyatt were here. WHEW. I called Dad and told him I didn't feel comfortable taking all these kids to McDonald's, it wasn't the cleanest in the city. "It's never killed me before" haha! "Okay, we'll see you after breakfast"
They came in around 10:00 am.
We sat down and chatted a bit. Shai sang them a couple of her songs that she has written. Off they were. Bev didn't want the sun in her eyes going to Denver. Plus the traffic. 'sigh' I think they were here maybe an hour and 15 minutes.
Last time I seen them was at Easter time. I went to Roger's house in Bellwood.
This trip they spent Saturday with Dana, Lyle and Dana's son Keagen (spelling?), not sure if Roger got off work in time, I'm sure he did. Sunday was in Franklin with Dennis and Dianne. Monday was supposed to be with my family. I had a BBQ planned.
The Sun got in the way.
Why do I get teary eyed just thinking about it?

A few thoughts/vents even
I get a phone call from my Dad. "What time did you get up today?" , um around 9:00 am. "WE called around 8:30 am to see if you wanted to join us for breakfast". Mom told me you weren't coming this weekend, you might make it next weekend. "I decided to just go. We had an appointment to look at a house in Franklin, but apparently they sold it yesterday". (he asks Bev if she told me they were coming next weekend..."I told her I would call when we got in Nebraska") UM NO! that is not what was said, but WHATEVER! They are visiting Dana's baby. She is my 17 year old niece, Lyle's daughter. Bev's great grand baby.
I call Ron, what are you doing? having a garage sale at Grandma's house. That's nice! He was busy with customers so I let him go. Good for him. He has never experienced a garage sale. I threatened to bring the 3 year old and cause havoc, just like he used to when I would do a garage sale. (yard sale)
I call Ron later to let him know a good customer of his needs him to work on his holiday. He agrees to work it. Then I ask if he got out the dishwasher, or the exercise machine....NO, I"M STILL TRYING TO DIG STUFF OUT OF THE GARAGE. hahah!!! its almost noon! Silly man! I got there around 1:30 maybe sooner and there were about 10 boxes of stuff that needed unloaded and who knows how many bags. Even when we shut down, 5:00 pm, I found about 4 boxes that still needed to be gone through. Wow........Who knew we had so much stuff!!?? ME!!! Its amazing how many clothes you can store in someones 2 car garage!
Got home and vegged on the bed, playing some video games on the computer. Bejeweled TWIST! LOVE IT! Thank you Karrea for buying it for me! Was grateful for a great ending of the day, because I was really out of sorts with the first phone call. I am always the LAST to know when my dad is in town. They hardly ever PLAN a day with me and my family. Its always her sons! That makes me really really sad! Yet, is it GOD'S PLAN? All I have ever wanted was to be loved and accepted and respected by them. Even at 41 I don't see it! I usually only get to see them if they have planned on coming down to be with one of her kids. Never has it been about US, the MATSON'S. (unless you consider Adrienne's graduation)
God is good to me. That is all that matters. He has NEVER let me down! Thank you God for everything!
I call Ron, what are you doing? having a garage sale at Grandma's house. That's nice! He was busy with customers so I let him go. Good for him. He has never experienced a garage sale. I threatened to bring the 3 year old and cause havoc, just like he used to when I would do a garage sale. (yard sale)
I call Ron later to let him know a good customer of his needs him to work on his holiday. He agrees to work it.
