 Growing up I was what you could consider the popular kid. 

From as far as i can remember, I have always had all kinds of friends.

I was brought up to treat others the way i wanted to be treated. 

When i went to school there was the usual fights and misunderstandings.

Once i got to high school it changed. 

If you weren't pretty, cool, a jock, or something along those lines

you weren't cool enough.

My Take on the Retro Fitted Mini Album

Easter Mini Album

When Adults Act 9

For children, friendships grow and friendships end. Children get over it pretty easily and tend to never give it a second thought. Us adults though, can't seem to do the same. Most of the time we allow things to build up to a boiling point and then it just blows up out of context.  Text messages dont help nor does being tired and sick.
I am only going into this as a way to vent, get out of my system and stop dwelling over it. I guess that is where i am at now...

A Home Becoming of A 50's Housewife

So i have been working on my home. Anyone who knows me knows i have pile after pile of hot spots in my home. Everything from mail to kids school work. How can i be a good hostess when i don't have somewhere warm and inviting for them to be hosted at??

So i am taking it room by room. First it was our living room, which i love!! Now it is time for the laundry room. I am so bad taking before picture, but did find pictures of before i moved in. I am looking to brighten my home and bring warmth to it. I want an organized home and a clutter free place to raise my kids.

Not the Best

!! Please excuse my writing, i am not feeling well and am doing this from my cell phone. I promised to have this up for those who asked for it no later than today. !!

A few of my local readers asked me to review a local diner. I have put great thought to it and decided to not share the name of the diner or those who work there. While my review will not be a surprise, there are still a few hard workers that should not have to suffer because of the rest. Those who asked for the review will know where i went.

Happy Vday

Happy Valentines day!! This is the first year i have allowed me to be included. I have to say it was fun. I have never been a fan of this so called holiday, and am not sure i still am outside of the fun my kids have. But this year we did it up, even though a few of us our sick.

Ended my Vday with a dinner out and was given a new bridal set. 10 years and still going. Its a beautiful ring!

Take a look at our day through pictures.

Soccer, Winning, The Feeling of Being Proud

- From Moms Point of View:

The moment they realized they did it was a moment i do not think i could ever forget. The excitement that each of the girls showed, and the elation that displayed on their faces. The ran to JB, our goalie, embraced and celebrated. They know that they won, but i am not sure they understand what it means truly. The trained long and hard, and practiced many days a week. They had to beat out a handful of teams before even getting to the position that they were in to compete.

So the smiles, the tears, the laughter and excitement  mean more than i think they can grasp. But i think the simplicity behind taking this win for face value is what makes it mean even more to them. To see these young girls grow, to have coaches who love them enough to be tough on them, and to see them accomplish such a feat that meant so much to them not just us (parents) was a powerful moment. I am proud of them all, but even better they are proud of themselves.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

 

 

The day to celebrate.
It may not be his birthday till April 4th, but
today we as a nation can celebrate the
things Martin Lurther King JR. has done for us.
Our kids have asked how we celebrate him.
Besides what they learned at school
i shared with them from this site.
There are many sites to look at.

Remember what freedom he has brought us

and what the loss of his life

has meant to us as Americans.
