Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree



The thought of running out of Hershey Kisses made him look like this. Note the chocolate around his mouth. He ate nothing but Kisses for about 2 hours.

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree


Gracie with her new guitar. She was extremely disheartened when she picked is up and couldn't just PLAY.

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree


Click on the picture so you can get a close up of what Micah's trucks are hauling around...yep that's right Hershey Kisses. And who is standing there beside him? Waiting? Yep that's right...Tucker.

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree




Micah with his new guns, scary

sight huh? Is this foreshadowing?

He actually just asked for the gunbelt

but it all came in a set.

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree



No thank you honey, mommy doesn't want anymore Hershey kisses.

Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree














Ahh, the aftermath. I didn't see my living room for about 12 more hours.

2009 New Beginnings...New Me

Before and After






This now is a time of reflection for me. Losing all of that hair

in my own weird way is losing a lot of baggage from the past

several years of my life. I look forward to what God has in

store for me and my life in 2009.

Worst Conversation I can think of...

The following conversation took place over the phone between a father and mother who are separated. The kids live with mom.

Father: Hey, I was looking at this list of toys you gave me that son would like for christmas.

Mother: Yeah and?

Father: What is a Brobee? I don't have a clue what this is.

Mother: Oh. It's a green guy from the show Yo Gabba Gabba. Son likes it.

Father: Oh well I didn't know. That kind of stuff is never on my tv so I don't know anything about it.

Now, is it just me or shouldn't a good father know what his 2 year old son is watching on tv?

Guess Who's Back???

Praise the Lord and Thank you Jesus!!! I am back online. My computer is home from the computer doctor thanks to a very wonderful friend on mine.

Shout out to Bebas! Time is non existant in our friendship. Been friends for over 10 years now and feels like just yesterday we were working in the worlds worst daycare (haha) planning a trip to Kings Island with our crew, which was much smaller at the time. Can't wait to see you again. Thanks again lady!

Another friend of mine???...much thanks to Jesus for HIS perfect love and care. I am learning through much heart ache and time that Jesus is the only perfect man. Jesus will never cheat, never lie, never hurt. Jesus will always love, always care, always provide. Jesus loves me even though I make mistakes, He is my father. Jesus wraps His arms around me when I am crying, He is my comforter. Jesus is the only man I need. I love you Lord!

Oh and just in case any of you questioned God's mathmatics...it doesn't make any sense to us but it works. He turned $25 into $250 in less than 24 hours. I don't know how He does it, I don't care how He does it. The fact is HE DOES IT, and He does it for me. Thank you Jesus for your amazing blessings that I am experiencing left and right.

I'm not dead!!!

WAAA! I MISS BLOGGING!!! I'm not dead and SHAME on all of you nasty perverts who put porn viruses on the internet to attack peoples computers!!! I and my computer will survive this...I swear to you!!! We will be back...just as soon as we get the money to pay the wonderful man who took the porn virus OFF my computer. Who, by the way, has left a burning question in my mind...doesn't he actually have to SEE all of the porn in order to get it ALL cleared off? Hmmm, just wondering. BUT I WILL BE BACK!!!

Convo of the day...

This convo took place in the living room between Micah and myself. The wind blew and then this convo took place.

Micah (3): Mom! My pee pee is getting big!

Mom: What? Your pee-pee is getting big?

Micah: Yeah! It's getting big! (proceeds to pull down his pants and underwear and
show me his 3 year old hard on) See?

Mom: Oh! It is getting big. Pull up your pants.

Micah: Well, I don't want it to get big.

Mom: Then leave it alone.

Question to ponder...

Why does the poop smell not come off your hands? Seriously. We have all gotten poop on our hands at one point or another. Us mothers have way more of a reason than those of you who aren't but still...why does it not wash off? You can wash with soap and hot water twenty two dozen times and it still doesn't wash off! WHY? (regardless of the answer, I have my own way of getting it off.) But still, WHY? Why does the poop smell not go away? Feel free to give me your medical answer Kelly.

Count your MANY blessings! Name them one by one!

...help and comfort give you to your journeys end!

Praise Jesus that I can count my blessings: Blessings for October 12, 2008

My relationship with GOD.
My beautiful children, all of them.
Fabulous services at church.
Finished that house.
Monitary gift from an unexpected source. (not with thy sword nor with thy bow. Joshua 24:12)
Love.
GREAT Sunday School teacher who loves the Lord.
Laughter. (always makes a day brighter)
Dinner with old friends, who lifted me up.
Quiet time with God...heading there now.

Funny. As I am looking at my list, I am realizing that only 1 of my blessings today were actually tangible. Hmmm. Food for thought.

Proverbs 8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

Momma's sweet little devils.






















This is the only moment of rest I ever get.

Ok, so trust will always be an issue.

So I am just bein nosey and flipping through random blogs, some interesting others not so much. I pause and read through one here or there but I have come across a lot of blogs that are family related. You know, lots of pictures of the family. Mom and dad. Husband and wife. Parents and kids.

To be quite honest with you, one of the first things I think when I see a picture of a husband and wife is "Is he faithfull?" I know that sounds really bad but it is the truth. I literally stare at the picture and wonder how she can trust him. COMPLETE STRANGERS!!! There is something wrong with me.

Going through all that I have gone through over the past um, well, all of my life with men has really left a lasting impression with me. Sad to say, I see it doing the same with my girls, but that is a blog for another day.

I don't want to feel this way about men. Honestly I don't. I just don't know that I could ever trust a man. I mean REALLY trust him. I am constantly putting myself in another womans shoes, which is not a bad idea ladies! For instance, I am cleaning a house right now and I have a friend that stops in from time to time. Some days he stays a while, others he doesn't. Well, I had to stop and think "how would I feel if my husband were doing this?" I spoke to his wife about the situation and she assured me that she trusted both of us and was ok with it. I was glad to hear that.

Another for instance, there is this guy at walmart , who is overly nice to me if you catch the drift. He always smiles and asks me if I need some help, I know its his job but there is doing his job nice and I think your hot nice. This is the I think your hot nice. Well, one day I see him in walmart fairly close to a lady, walking and talking. It just seemed like they were a couple. SO, what do I do? Put myself in her shoes. What if he is with her and being overly nice to me? Can't go down that path! So now I try to dodge him when I see him. I don't know him from Adam and he may be just as single and the next person but I cant shake the what ifs.

I was literally told by another man that if I didn't "play the game" (of taking another womans man) that I would end up alone. I just can't do that. I guess if that means I will be alone, then I will be alone. God will be my husband.

All in all, I don't trust men. At all. Now who's fault is it? I honestly can't blame any one person. But what I can say is that the men in my life have certainly not helped me trust anymore. They have pushed me to not trust even harder by their actions.

What happened to the REAL men? Are there any out there? I really have my doubts...sorry to any of you REAL men who may be out there and reading this. I just don't trust men and don't know if I ever can.
