What is one food that you refuse to try? Why?


Ummmm, pigs feet, lips, tail, tounge.  Because to me that is so freaking disgusting.  When I see stuff like that in the store I actually gag.  If it were a science project it wouldn't bother me, but the thought of someone eating them, OMG.. that makes me physically ill.  There is actually hair still on the lips and tail, that is disgusting.  The tounge, I don't even wanna go there, because that is just so gross.

Whoa I made me cry

We were driving home tonight and listening to CDs.  When I get Where I'm Going came on and I got to thinking about death.  I realized that I really don't want my children to be inconsolable over my death when it happens.  I guess that is weird? It seems that alot of people would want everyone just breaking down and weeping over them,but I just don't want that.  I am going to start now making sure that my kids know that I will always be with them.  I want them to understand that even if I am not there in my physical form that my spirit will always be with them.  I want them to be comforted by that fact.  I want them to remember how much I adored and loved them, and keep that with them forever.  I pray that their love will stay with me forever too.  Someone told me once that when you go to heaven you don't remember anything from your life on Earth, that makes me want to cry.  When I go to heaven, I want to be surrounded by my children's love for me.  I want to know it and remember it.  I want to remember every moment, every single second I had with them, even things that might have slipped my mind in life.  The thought of not knowing the love of my children scares me to my very soul.  BTW, I am making myself cry again.  Anyways, I hope this makes sense and doesn't come off as my insane rambling.  I lost my grandmother 4 years ago this past July, I felt while she was dieing that I would not be able to continue the same without her.  Once she passed though, I realized that she will always be with me, in my heart.  It helped me to get through it knowing that.  I just hope that I can teach my children what my grandmother taught me about love, faith, and hope.  All that being said, I hope that I live a loooooooooooong life and I die very very old.  I don't want my children to lose me before they are mature enough to handle it, yet I don't want their lives to suffer because of possibly having to take care of me.  I hope that I don't become an unwanted burden. 

What is really strange is that even after saying all of this, I know with all of my being that if something were to ever (GOD FORBID) happen to one of my children, I might just lose my mind.  I want them to be so stable and full of faith if it were me, but yet I know that if it were them it would be near to impossible for me to hold on.

I had a dream last night that my son got hurt.  Sometimes my dreams come true, I am praying that I am seriously wrong.  Thanks goodness though in the dream it wasn't too serious.

Now I feel like a quack.

Ouchies

We went bowling tonight, its been a LONG time since I have gone bowling.  My wrist is killing me, my shoulder is sore, and it feels like I have no skin left on my thumb.  Oh yeah and my toe hurts too, darn bowling shoes.  The kids had fun though and thats whats important. We started getting really goofy as the night went on, it was hilarious.

I am serious though, ouch, ouch, ouch.

Sweet dreams everyone!!

Oh My Gosh!!!

I am so glad that Daniele won HOH!!! I am so glad that she nominated Kail and Jen!  Okay enough about Big Brother.

My daughter really knows how to trash her room.  I am trying to forget all of the junk I found in her room.  Snack wrappers, empty capri suns, water bottles, paper.. tons of paper, broken crayons.  Thats just a small bit of what I found in her room and threw away.   She is the biggest pack rat, I think I am being punished.  She is just like my mom when it comes to keeping EVERYTHING!!!  It took ALL DAY to get her room clean and organized.  Actually I have plans tomorrow to clean under her bed, I am 100% positive it is full of trash under there!  It shouldn't take me near as long to do that though.  I hope not, I had planned to take the girls to the movies to see Harry Potter!!  Yes, I still have not gone to see it.  Procrastination... at its best.

The "skeeters" are terrible this time of year.  I have had enough of the bugs seriously.  I can't walk outside in the afternoon for 2 minutes without getting bit.  I am kinda allergic too, so bites swell up on me and its just itchy and gross. 

I had alot to say.. and now I forget.. Oh well.. until next time!!

Big Brother

Date nights

  • Jul. 27th, 2007 at 4:59 PM

It would be so great to have a regular date night with my husband, at least twice a month. Having children makes that hard though. We have never had anyone other than family babysit our kids, and his mom is always babysitting his brother’s kids. My dad is not the babysitting type, and my mom just had open heart surgery.

For now we settle to watch a movie after the children go to bed. That works, and now and then we get to go and do something fun. Usually a movie and dinner. He wants to take me to the museum though and I cannot wait!

I love this

Going to church makes me feel so great. We have gone the last two Sundays. I always feel so refreshed and close to God when I leave. I have to keep this going, for myself and my family.

Wow, I really do love Harry Potter

  • Jul. 27th, 2007 at 4:50 PM

What a wonderful experience!

So this weekend I am going to see Order of the Phoenix and I am rewatching all of the movies up until that point.

I suggest rewatching the movies too for everyone who just read the books, you will notice things you never noticed before, and be overcome by alot of emotions while seeing those “special” characters.

Trying really hard not to spoil it for anyone, but those of you who have finished and start rewatching the movies will know just what I mean.

Writer's Block: In The Money

  • Jul. 27th, 2007 at 12:01 PM

If you won $100 this afternoon, what would you do with it?

Ummmm.. $100 is not really alot of money.  I would probably put it in the bank because I have bills to pay.  If I didn't do that I would go and buy the kids school supplies, and I am sure that would pretty much burn it up.  If it didn't burn it up, then after picking up a few other things while at the store I am sure that we would have actually spent over $100.

A dollar really doesn't buy much at all these days.  Its really a shame if you ask me.

I really wish the writers blocks would be more interesting than this.

Harry Potter Book 7 *spoilers*

  • Jul. 25th, 2007 at 11:25 AM

I finished reading this book Monday night, 1am.  I could not put it down once I got started.  I only got to read it when the kids were sleeping.  So that was Saturday night, Sunday night and Monday night.  It drove me crazy that I couldn't read it during the day.  It was sitting next to my bed and everytime I went into my room I really wanted to grab and read "just one chapter"

I just absolutely loved the book.  It answered so many questions I have been asking myself all through the past 6 books.  Snape, who was the biggest curiousity of all was finally shown for his true self, a good caring and loving person.  Dumbledore was also shown as a good person, even though he did seek popularity or fame.  I loved the plot and all of the action.  Emotionally it was quite a rollercoaster.  People would say.. how are you getting so emotional over a children's book?  I just have to say that when I read a book I put all of my imagination and thoughts into and its as if I were there personally.  Therefore the emotions that overtake me while reading books.  Deathly Hollows made me experience a full range of emotions and that was quite an experience. 

I have yet to go and see Order of the Phoenix, I plan to do that this weekend.  I also enjoy the movies, but not as much as the books.  I am going to see the rest of the movies, and buy them as they come out.  I hope that other adults will read these books and realize that they truly are harmless.  Its great reading for children who are of the proper age, and reading is so good for the mind.  These books are especially good to teach children how to fully use their imagination. 

I sincerely hope that the author is not quitting now.  I can't wait to see what type of story she comes up with next, meanwhile I will keep rereading my beloved Harry Potter books...

On a totally crazy thought.. would books on the adventures of the children of our heros and heroines be too farfetched?

Still going strong.

So far so good. Yesterday may have been my weakest day, but it wasn’t all that bad. I had a Wendy’s burger for lunch with water, and for dinner two very small bowls of pea soup and two pieces of bread with butter. I drank very sweet tea though and that is the part that was not good. To make up for all that though I did sit out in the heat for about an hour watching my hubby work, and that probably made up the difference. I have not been snacking or eating after 6pm. I weighed myself today and I am back under 140 lbs. I am excited about that. Still a way to go to reach my goal weight!


After sending in our non-refundable prepaid tuition to my childrens’ school we receive a letter from the director. It states that my 1st grade child will have 3 teachers this year. One for language arts and such, one for Bible, and one for Math. I am not happy about this at all. Two of the teachers are not certified, and one is the probably the most ignorant, childish person I have ever come across. I am very unhappy about this, and I could take them out and put them in the local Catholic school, but then I would have forfeited about $500 of my hard earned money. I have decided to stick it out for one more year. It goes without saying that as of my receiving that letter, my childrens’ names are on the waiting list at the Catholic school for next school year.

Still no patience for ignorant people.

Writer's Block: Bump In The Night

  • Jul. 20th, 2007 at 11:57 AM

What are you afraid of?

I am not afraid of much.  I guess my biggest fear is of failing my children.  There are so many ways that you can fail your children.  Its like the ways of failing them are just lined up in front of me taunting me. 

I could fail my children by not staying married to their dad.  This is not a problem for me, but since my parents divorced, and my husband was divorced before me, I always have a fear that things are going to crumble.  I love my husband dearly, but just because of my family history, I am always scared of screwing things up.

I could fail my children by not raising them to be good Christians.  I am lazy about going to church, I really want to, but sometimes I find it hard to just DO.  The road to anywhere is lined with good intentions, I know that.  I need to show them how important church, and God are.  I need to show them this on Sundays and every day of our lives. 

I could fail my children by not making sure they get a good education.  I truly feel that so far I am doing a good job at this.

I could fail my children by not inspiring them to do their best.

I could fail my children by not showing them how important it is to have good self esteem.  I have to let them know that they are smart, intelligent and beautiful people, and they DO NOT need other people to tell them that.  They just have to know it.

There is much more to say here, but I am truly out of time.
