Hugh In The Afternoon....!

Today it's only slight cloudy. Nothing dark looms overhead, but the day is young. :) I am looking to the positive, though. It's cold and gloomy outside. I'm inside with my little ladies and we're snuggled under blankets and watching a chick flick. It's perfect. The boys are shopping. We're soaking it up while we can, because as anyone in the realm of my world knows...tomorrow is FOOTBALL SUNDAY! LOL. We'll soak up our time while we can.

To be precise we're soaking up Hugh Grant. LOL. He just has a way of brightening up any gloomy cold Saturday. :)

My sweet neighbor, who is in her 80s, 4'8", and is the sweetest little lady lady you'd ever meet brought us a little flan and flowers this morning. She brought it thanking us for our cookies and crafts from Thanksgiving. She's so sweet.

Ok, off to soak up our Hugh.

XOXO

Dark Cloud....

When is enough, enough in life?

I mean, do you invite guests to stay way beyond a tolerable amount of time? Do you throw chaos into your life and wake up at 3AM to make it a 4AM sale so you can spend spend spend? Do you love yourself or let yourself just go to pushish the parts you despise?

It was so much fun cooking Turkey and all the dishes that went along with our fabulous dinner, with the kids. They couldn't wait to eat what they made. I know my girls and even boy will be making some of our recipes when they are older. :)

When dinner was finished I just thought the night would be quiet and we'd be recovering from the eating. Well, of course there was the dark cloud. I can handle rainy, white puffy cold clouds, the occassional storm, and even the a lightening strike. The darkness of that cloud...it's just too much these days.

I'm on a new path. I will discover the why and when. It may not be tomorrow..but I want answers. It took years to feeling this good and in control of me. No more knots in the stomach.

I DARE YOU!

I Dare You! I dare any of you to just leave a comment. I have so many reads every single day. Actually you're from all over the world. I really want to know who reads me from Ireland. Just a hi! I know I'm HUGE in South Korea! LOL. Huge! I have a great following for people searching for my "Karma will bite you in the ass" comment. I don't know who visits I just get a few stats. Love to hear from you. I'll type more fluff if you do. Wait...maybe I shouldn't do the fluff stuff then you might not come back so often to check on me. :)

XOXO

Friday's Thought

Who knew that a few words could rattle a brain for so many years.

It could be our time.

Life goes on....Smiles are to be had...Memories are to be made...And memories are to be remembered.

Weekend Recap!

Do you want to know how good I am? I made pancakes for the kids this morning..and they weren't the toaster kind! :) Yep..that good. Oh and I even flat ironed Ava's hair, made three different lunches...and dropped them all off. :)

"Because cereal is boring Mommy!"



Halloween was delightfully exciting. There were so many kids in the neighborhood. We came from a neighborhood in Virginia with so few kids out on Halloween (it's a little different in the south.) This was a nice change. The pumpkins were carved and a little gooshy for wear, but carved and with lights bekoning the gremlins and goblins.

Before going out, though, they spent the day swimming in the 100 degree weather!


My little Darth and Devil were out among the others. We went street after street until dripping with sweat they asked to finally go home! It was them..not me...who ended it! That's always a super plus. I hope you had fun and if there weren't kids I hope you dressed and got in touch with that crazy side you sometimes hide inside!
:) :) :)
