Time marches on. Thought I still ache every day for him and miss him every moment I breathe, it is getting to the point where i am getting back to living again. I am working - freelance writing with my dear Carmen. I am spending time with good friends who have helped me more than i could ever thank them for. Roger is moved in and we actually make a really good team. I am glad to have him here ow that Cheyenne is attending school out at Missouri School for the Deaf. I would probably go nuts if I didnt have someone here in the house with me. Well I guess since this thing is working I need to start posting more. Of course I also need to get back into writing for fun too. I think tomorrow is going to be a day for fiction writing and cleaning up the corner of the livingroom. Yea that sounds like a plan.

Love you all and I promise there will be more posts in the future.

Funeral Arrangements

Friday March 20th
4:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Kriegshauser West Mortuary
9450 Olive Blvd
Olivette MO 63132
314-994-3322

The memorial service will begin at 7:30. It is going to be an informal memorial. If you have something you want to share feel free to. But It is not anything set. This is a time for family and friends to say goodbye to Jim and to be there for each other.

After the services Jim will be cremated. Next week I will be taking him to Mississippi to the Ancestral home of the Choctaw to disperse his ashes and lay him to rest with his ancestors, as he wished it.

Anyone who wants to go with us to Mississippi is welcome to accompany us. All I ask is that you be respectful while we are on tribal grounds.

THank you all for your concern and condolances. I am doing alright. Right now I am more numb than anything else but I am working through everything and will be alright.

Thank you
Cassie WhisperingCrow Hickinbotham

Broken Hearted and Numb

March 16th 2009 at 3:15 pm.

My life turned upside down at that moment. My husband Jimmy Kent Rabidwolf Hickinbotham passed on from this life and moved west to the Happy Lands.

For those of you that did not know him, he was a wonderful man who made my life brighter from the moment I met him. For those of you who did know him, you know he was a cranky a**hole at times but that never diminished the joy he brought to my life.

A Memorial Service will be on Friday March 20th. I will post the time tomorrow after I get everything set up. The services will be in Missouri (email me if you want specifics to attend).

After the memorial his body will be cremated and I along with members of his family of choice will be taking his ashes to Mississippi to spread over the Mother Hill at Nanaha Wyah.

At the time of the cremation traditional song and prayer will be sent up from Oklahoma, from a traditional friend who has agreed to tend tho the ceremony for me.

At this time I can honestly say I am completely numb. I am sure things will sink in over time but for now I am just planning to get things set up then I will be able to mourn him from there.

Tired but getting better

For those of you that I have not laready text messaged, emailed or talked to on the phone Jim was taken to the hospital last night due to extremely high blood sugar and shortness of breath. He is currently in the ICU at St Johns Mercy in St Louis. He is stablilzing, his blood sugar is back down in the 130 to 150 range (as opposed to the 450 and 500 range where it was last night). He does have a pulminary embalysm. (a blood clot in his lungs). Fortunately it is under control and he is on a blood thinner to get things cleared out. He will be in the hospital for a few days most likely, definately for at least the next 48 hours. Sooooo. He is stabilized for the most part and he is in a great hospital, and the staff is letting me stay with him in the ICU room. So Here i sit, watching him sleep and helping out the nurces where I can. And thankfully they have wireless so i can do something to keep my brain from flipping out LOL.

All will be well and we are going to be alright just keep us in your prayers.

I will update as I can.

Author Contest - Friends - and Cool Stuff.!!

The Last First Book We Ever Wrote

Hello there! My name is Bree, and I’m one half of the romance-writing, virtual-crime-fighting duo known as Moira Rogers. I’m here today because Bitten by Books was kind enough to agree to help us celebrate something really exciting that only comes once in an author’s lifetime: the release of the first book we ever wrote.

Awesome, right? We sure think so! Of course, the part that takes a little bit of explaining is the part where Crux is, in fact, our sixteenth ebook to be released. A lot has happened to us since fall of 2007, when we first sat down to try and tell the story of Mackenzie and Jackson, the heroine and hero who have to fight an evil supernatural conspiracy spanning generations to win their chance at a happy ending. We scampered off to hone our craft on short stories and novellas and learned from our experience. But we always came back to this story, because in the end we loved our tough determined heroine and her smooth talkin’ detective hero too much to leave alone.

Today, in honor of Crux’s release, we’ve teamed up with Bitten by Books for a chance to make someone else just as excited as we are. We have in our possession a NEW Apple iPod touch 8 GB (1st Generation) (Retail Value $229.00), perfect for listening to music AND reading books through the awesome application Stanza. The Apple iPod touch 8 GB also holds 1,750 songs or 10 hours of video. Go here to read all about it. We’re also going to give $50.00 and $25.00 Visa Gift Cards to two lucky runners up! All you need to do is read the rules below and enter this awesome contest. And if you happen to pick up a copy of Crux, we hope you’ll love Jackson and Mackenzie as much as we do!

Book Excerpt: “Jackson Holt makes a decent living as a private investigator in New Orleans, home of one of the largest underground supernatural populations in the United States. He and his partners have never met a case they couldn’t crack…until a local bar owner asks him to do a little digging on her newest hire.

New Orleans is the fourth destination in as many months for Mackenzie Brooks, a woman on the run from a deranged stalker. After all, any man who shows up on her doorstep claiming to be her destined lover has more than a few screws loose. But crazy doesn’t explain why he always finds her no matter how far she runs.

When her well-meaning boss puts a PI on her case, Mackenzie comes face to face with the incredible truth: magic is real, and whatever spell has kept her hidden and separate from the paranormal world is rapidly deteriorating.

With time running out, she has no choice but to trust Jackson as he struggles to uncover the truth of her past-and her destiny.”

Events, Updates and explanations.

On Thursday February 19, 2009 at 5:00 pm CST. I tried to end my own life. I took approximately 20 mg of valium and between 100 and 300 mg of morphine. Some of you received a goodbye message from me at that time.

At 6pm I was in the emergency room at St Johns Mercy Medical Center being treated for the overdose and admitted into the psych program for evaluation.

The odd thing was the fact that NONE of the morphine showed up in any of my bloodwork.

I spent the night in the hospital and after talking with the Psychiatrist on friday i was allowed to come home. For the last few days I have been sleeping and trying to work all the crap out of my system and keep focused on keeping myself together while things have not changed at all here.

My problems are: I have a 16 year old bipolar child who is non responcive to anything i have tried to do to help her, and as far as i can tell she gives two shits about anything other than herself. Yes I am bitter and angry about this because i bend over backwards to help her and feel like I am shit on at every turn. Thus part of my feeling of hopelessness thrusday when i decided to take the pills.

part 2. i have a husband who is disabled and has been at home bitter and depressed since he left his job 2 years ago. He is also completely self absorbed (at least Mimi comes by it honestly) and cannot understand why I cannot and will not open up to him. I guess i got tired of trying to talk to him and everything getting turned around to be a pity party for him, or turned around to be about something he wanted to talk about or whatever the case was. I just feel like he would rather talk about his stupid electronics than really give a damn about how I am doing/feeling.

I have tried to run away into my new job but that is only making things worse here at home because I cannot keep the house up and work as much as i was before without making my depression even worse.

So in a nutshell. I am depressed. Yes I know I need help. No I do not want to sob on amy of y friends shoulders, and no I am not going to try to kill myself again. Apparently even when i do want to die Creator will not let me excape this shit and keeps me here.

Yea I sound and feel bitter, sorry if i am tired of being second fiddle to the husband and kids, sorry i an sick of pushing all my dreams, homes and hell even thoughts aside to help boost their egos, and keep them going.

So here is my little rant. I tried to kill myself, cannot even do that right, so i sit here and listen to Jim go on and on about his stupid boards to repair and listen to him groan and complain about his pain that i cannot help with and slip deeper and deeper into this hole that is my heart.

Gee bright and cheery isnt it. Well I am going to go do the one thing I can do to even remotely excape from all of this. I am going to go back to sleep for a while.

I love you all and I am sorry I scared you.

Chilly Morning, Sleepless nights and Running Thoughts

Well I know it has been ages since my last post. But thanks to some super fun insomnia and the kids having to get up for school here i sit. Typing away and dumping everything out onto the web.

Things around here have been hectic, and as always interesting. So I will just dive in. We lost our health insurance this month so I am learning all kinds of fun things about the public health system.. I just can’t wait to take the first trip to the clinic with jim.... Thank god for books and mp3 players..

Things with BJC Mental Health are progressing for services for Mimi. We will see what the psychiatrist says on friday to see what new approach we are going to take. Un til then I am taking things day by day, and looking into some therapy for myself (I am just a weeeee bit stressed) . Chances are Mimi will be in an in home therapy program and possibly if Ladue cannot pick up the slack with her IEP a theraputic school. But we will see how things develop.

I have been working my tail off the last few weeks. When I started helping my boss with scheduling I ended up, as usual, taking things to the wire and filling in the shifts we were short handed myself. Well As of February 1 I am going back to part time. I have to be able to take care of my family and house more than I have to take care of the YMCA. So I am back to 4 hour shifts for the most part and every monday and tuesday off work so i can attend to things here. We will see how that works.

I have got to get the budget straightened out for the household. Right now I keep running the account into the negative and I am sure if that keeps up we will get booted out of the bank. So with the help of the hefty checks I will get in feburary, getting back to a schedule where I will be home to make dinner most every night, and tightening the belt to trim out the non essential costs I will be able to get things better under control. Either that or I need to win the lottery or knock over a bank... But since I cannot ever find a good getaway driver (LOL) I will work the tightened budget angle and get things back into the black. Hmmm I wonder if gypsies still buy kids... JUST KIDDING.

Of course I am also going to reduce the number of felines in the house. I have 3 altered cats that I can easily part with so I am going to work on adopting them out to help cut food costs. In March I will get Muffin and probably Biscuits spayed and place Biscuits as she has earned a nice cushy retirement. As for the kittens, we will see how things progress with them. You just never know what might happen.

Thankfully I have a family that is quite happy living on noodles, cereal and peanut butter sandwiches LOL. Well it won’t be quite that bad but we are going to cut back a lot and stop ordering delivery so darn much. January has been a killer. with me working evenings, by the time i get home from work I am to tired or stressed to make dinner, and I never find time to get to the grocery store anyway so there isnt squat to eat in this place, Sooooo I pick up the phone and call for delivery. That comes to a screeching halt after this week. This afternoon I am going to the store, getting some food so that we can have home cooked (in theory at least even if they are simple) meals instead of take out. I have to admit I am sick of pretty much every delivery place in the area.

Well lets see. Cheyenne is doing good in school. Seems to be getting more confident with her talking, not that she is ready to spout any disertations but she is using simple words and doing pretty well.

Mimi has good days and bad days. More good than bad for the most part. Now if we can just et the school work improved it will be alot smoother. But we will see how things develop with the new plan we are working on with Kathy.

Jim is... Well Jim is Jim. He is still having alot of pain. Still depressed, and still a pain in my rump LOL. But I love him and we are taking things day by day together which makes it a heck of alot easier than it would be without him. Now I just have to get him up off his arse and moving again to loose weight and get some of his mobility back. Since he stopped physical therapy he has gotten progressively worse. Not totally crippled yet but making his way in that direction. That seems pretty stupid to me since we have access to a full gym, heated pool, and all that stuff up at work.. So on my days off I am taking a cattle prod to him and getting him to come with me to work out. Even if all he does is sit on the recumbant bike and takes a nice ride I think It will do wonders for his self esteem and his legs.. So I will be dusting off the cattle prod LOL.

Well I think I have been rambling long enough for one morning.

Falla

From critters

Yea this one sums up pretty well how I feel right now LOL.

Wow.. That is a BAD Day

DON"T EVER COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR JOB

I LOVE MY JOB . . . . . 

If you don't laugh out loud after you read this you are in a coma! This is even funnier when you realize it's real!  Next time you have a bad day at work think of this guy. 

Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. 

Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio station 103.2 FM in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest. Needless to say, she WON !

 

Hi Sue, 

Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. 

Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling  down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you  to make you realize it's not so bad after all . 

Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. 

As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit  to the office. It's a wet suit. This time of year the water is quite  cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. 

It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints. 

What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi. 

Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to  itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse.   Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had  happened. 

The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it .  However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate. 

When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my butt. 

I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five other divers, were all laughing hysterically. 

Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet. 

As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter  running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber. 

The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two days because my butt was swollen shut. 

 

So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt. 

Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job." 

Now whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, is this a jellyfish bad day? 
May you NEVER have a jellyfish bad day!!!!!
