When is the Witch Coming?


We watched Enchanted last night via Charter On Demand. The movie was much better than I thought it would be. An excellent choice for a family movie. I even found myself singing along with Giselle. This is extremely odd for a person who is not very fond of musicals.
I turn into [...]

Sending Prayers to the Gulf


I came across this last night. A 5 day projection for Hurricane Gustav. I am sending thoughts and prayers to everyone that has or may be impacted by the hurricane. I watched the news yesterday and I was really surprised and amazed that despite the outcome of Hurricane Katrina, there are still [...]

Removed EntreCard and BlogRush Widgets


I decided earlier today to remove the EntreCard and BlogRush widgets from my site. They were not driving a great deal of traffic to my site. Even when I post regularly there is not much different. Yeah if you drop several cards with EntreCard then you have some visitors here and there. [...]

Hearing in the Household


I have not given any updates on the children and their hearing issues in a while, so here we go. The week of July 21, Keisha had her follow up visit to her ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctor. We were concerned about whether or not she was also going to need tubes [...]

Far Away


Some days like today… I really want to get Far Away. Figuratively and Literally.

I love this song and these lines represent my life so much it is not even funny:

I wanna do the things we used to do.

Say the things we used to say.

Just like everyday, all day….

I don’t wanna forget all the love we captured the day we met.

We both keep saying that we wish that we could go back to those days when we played with each other just because. The days when we stayed up all night having a philosophical discussion or bummed around all day playing Zelda, only getting up to eat and go to the bathroom. Where did those days go? They nearly seem like a fading shadow in the field. You know I do not have a good memory anyway so I am trying to hold on to whatever I can.

On days like today, I sit in the rocking chair in my children’s room (by the way, why are they still cleaning up… it has been an hour!) and I listen to one of my favorite songs by Kindred the Family Soul. After listening to it about five times, watching the video two times and writing some of my thoughts… I am feeling a lot more calm than I was an hour ago. Breathe in Breathe out.

Unconscious Mutterings


Say… and I think…?
1. Month to month :: How many more pay checks before I am eligible for a raise?
2. Adjusted :: My children are used to waking up early Monday through Friday because we go to work and school, therefore they have a hard time with adjusting on the weekends and sleeping in later.
3. [...]
