Some Happy News For A Neighbor

I mentioned my neighbor Beth in one of blogs some time ago. Beth is the local neighborhood perfect mom. Not the obnoxious perfect mom, just the kind that we all wish we could be like. Beth has one child Connor who has a wonderful life full of love, toys, and animals. Beth has had several... Sign in to see full entry.

British Intelligence Foils Plot To Bomb Planes

I am just getting the details on this but it appears there were plans to bomb flights from Britian to the US. So far 21 people have been arrested overnight and the security alert level for commericial flights to and fro have been raised to red. This is the first time that alert has been used since...

Who Can Tell Me Who Matt Maupin Is?

Corbin brought up that 30% of American's don't know what year 911 occured. I am not surprised as there are those (usually on Jay Leno's streetwalking segment) who don't even know whom the current President is. Matt Maupin is a name that should be on all of our minds every single day, but most do not... Sign in to see full entry.

I Probably Wasn't As Clear I Should Be In My Last Entry

I tend to use Blogit to get much of what is on my mind OFF of my mind. My last post was very much that. So, to clarify some things. First: No matter what happens with Carl's military service, this is what I signed up for and agree to the day I said "I do". I don't always like the things that come... Sign in to see full entry.

I Felt Like Writing This Tonight

It seems to be in the stars tonight that I write this. I actually came here determined NOT to write this as I imagine many are sick of hearing about my experience last year but then I signed on and the first post I saw was by Roots (as usual I forgotto grab the link). Since this seems to keep coming... Sign in to see full entry.

Losing Track Of Time

Do you ever have those projects that you get lost in? I slept rather late for me this morning and when I got up I decided since the house was quiet I would get some work done. It was late afternoon before I even looked up and realized I needed to figure out what we were having for dinner tonight. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Which Would You Rather Do???

At the end of your life, would you rather: Look back at your mistakes, maybe even laugh about some of them, maybe regret some, maybe realize some even made you a better person. OR Regret the should haves, would haves, might have beens and all those other things that you never took to the risk to... Sign in to see full entry.

Did I mention I have a temper

Rule #1. Never, ever post a blog in anger! Ok, so I am thinking I got carried away in my last post. My husband says that I have this mother lion instinct when it comes to people I care about. I don't like to see others purposely trying to hurt anyone but it becomes worse when that person matters to... Sign in to see full entry.

When You Mess With One You Mess With Us All. For the REAL Shellyb.

I have made a point of staying OUT of the nonsense and wars going on here but sometimes things go just to far and this is one. When you read Shellyb. make sure you are reading the REAL shelly. You will find a (.) at the end of her name. If you are a friend of Shelly, then I encourage you to go to... Sign in to see full entry.

A new Day

Pam and I talked about her mother, my mother and mother's in general today. I wanted Pam to understand that the way her bio mom treats her is not a reflection on her but a reflection on her mother, so at 12 my daughter now knows my history. I didn't go into graphic details and unfortunately these... Sign in to see full entry.
