I have so much to tell ya'll

Hi everyone! I'm still here. Please be patient with me as my computer is on the fritz. I'm trying to get it fixed. I miss you guys though. I don't want ya'll to think I've jumped ship. I typing from a friends computer. Some of you are wondering why I don't got to the library to get online. Well, the library is a little far for me to go to all the time. Please pray I get my computer up and running soon. Without my blog I feel like you've tied one hand behind my back. I will visit everyones blog as soon as I can. Scouts honor. Even though I was never a scout. She said w/ a grin on her face.~~~ Guess what!??!!  I am going in a couple of days to check out a college called the Art Institue Of Houston. I'm so... excited. I'm looking into taking classes to get my degree in WEB DESIGN. Isn't that great?

Unanswered questions

When my daughter of 6 ask me a question and I don't have the answer my response is , "Let me research this and I'll get back to you". But, what do you do when there is no explanation? Why is a male ladybug called a lady? A dragonfly looks nothing like a dragon. How did it get it's name? And butterfly, Mom it's NOT butter flying. Do you think a catapiller looks like a cat? How come most nursery rhymes are mean? Why was Humpty Dumpty never put together again? Didn't they have glue Mom? Somethings just have no answer I tried to explain to her. She looked at me so puzzled and said,"But aren't Moms' suppose to know everything?" I chuckled and replied,"I wish Sweetheart. No nobody knows everything." I could see the wheels in her head turning as she sat there quietly. Then she ask sweetly,"Will I know all the things you know when I get as big as you Mommy?" I then gave her the same response I remember my Mom giving me. "Sweetie, when you get to be my age I pray that you will know lots more than I do now." I could just see my Mom looking down from her cloud telling me how proud she was of me.

My joy

I find myself as a Mom humming my daughters favorite songs.You know, Hannah Montana, Itsy Bitsy spider, Where is thumbkin. The list goes on and on. Its a good thing I'm a kid at heart. And I love my daughter. I am really so blessed. Like I always say,"God must've really love me to give me my sweet,kind,thoughtful,and loving daughter. " Not to mention shes the shortest comedian I've ever met. ;) When I was a little girl Iask my Mom how much she loved me. She replied with a sweet smile on her face,"So very much. You'll know how much when you have your own little girl someday." Boy was she right. I remember ever detail of the day she was born. That was the happiest day of my life 2nd only to the day I invited God into my life.

What was I thinking

Let me start off by saying I'm 36. I know I'm not alone when I say "What was I thinking?!!??!?" I came across some pictures the other day and all I have to say is, WOW! Some of the hair styles and clothes,good grief ! My excuse is I was young,but the adults around me should have said something. Come on people ! The awful plaid,waterfall and wings hairstyle (if I caught the wind just right I'm sure I would have taken flight just like a kite) .Im sure I wasnt the only girl in high school with a bullet proof head.You know after styling your hair spraying half a can of hair spray on it. A nuclear bomb wouldnt have messed up my hair back then. And what about that light blue eye shadow? EWW! Did we not own a mirror back then? I know it was the style,but lets face it ,it was aweful! Whats worse is you thought you look so....COOL. Have you noticed the word COOL carries from era to era. All other words are cool for 5 seconds and then their lame. I wonder why.Things 2 make you go hmmmmm.

People Are So Funny & I Dont Mean Looking

Well, it's 4:30am and as you've guessed, I'M NOT ASLEEP! Anyway,I'm getting use to it..sort of.As long as I have my Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Peppers NO ONE GETS HURT. Just kidding! There good though.Dont let the word DIET turn you away. Arent people the funniest creatures? Excuse me folks.My dogs just decided that because Moms up its play time. I have a Shipoo(thats a cross between a Stitzu and Poodle)named Bear & a new addition to the family,a miniture Chiuaua named Gracie. AWWW...They finally settled down. My daughters in the other room sawing loggs(sleeping like i should be). Anyway,where was I? Oh yah! I remember now. People being such funny creatures. Have you ever heard the phrase,"Do as I say,not as I do!"? Isn't that the silliest thing to say to a kid? Or "You think you've got it tough. Why when I was your age I had to get up @ the crack of dawn just to walk to school,UP HILL." And everybody says this even if they didn't. And what does PULLING SOMEONES FINGER have to do with passing gas??? Or my favorite ,"We didnt have tv when I was growning up.You youngin's have it so easy these days.Why we use to have to get up at the crack of dawn and slop the hogs and milk the cows and feed the chickens before school every mornin'." And yes I'm from a long line of Smart Country folk. And the thing is we fall 4 these things when we're young. That just makes there day the fact that they could pull a fast one over on you(trick you).Heres one I never understood. Say your Mom was mad and she was chewing you out about something you did or didn't do. She ask you a question. Then in the middle of you answering she tells you to hush up and listen to her. Then after she gets it all out of her system she wants to know why you didnt answer her question a while ago. And thats a loaded question.If you say,"Because you wouldnt let me",which maybe true,but thats not what she wants to hear. Your best bet is to poligitly answer the question . That is if you still remember it. And kids crack me up. Your child ask Mom can I have a cookie and you say no. You know as soon as there out of sight their going on a cookie hunt. Then when you catch them ,WITH THE COOKIE IN THERE HAND, the child looks at you like "How'd that get there?" And proceeds to tell you when you confront them ,"I was getting the cookie for you." :) It's hard not to laugh. Shouldn't we all laugh more? Why should life be so serious? Lightin' up folks! Its a prooven fact you live longer when you laugh. And you enjoy life more.

Food for thought


My 6 year old daughter, Kaydie ask me a very good question the other day. Of coarse I had to do some research to find the answer.Why do our eyes close when we sneeze? Well I've often wondered that myself. Doctors aren't 100% sure,but they believe that it's just a reflex. Are you aware that not everyone has that reflex?When you sneeze most of your muscles tighten. Some people see lights when they sneeze. It's called "Photic Sneezers".  Photic is another word for light. Not everyone has this reaction. It's something that you get from one or both of your parents. Sunlight can trigger sneezing too believe it or not . That's right! Sunlight. I was shocked to find this out to. A sneeze is usually triggered by an irritation in the nose, which is sensed by the trigeminal nerve, a cranial nerve responsible for facial sensation and motor control. This nerve is in close proximity to the optic nerve, which senses, for example, a sudden flood of light entering the retina. As the optic nerve fires to signal the brain to constrict the pupils, the theory goes, some of the electrical signal is sensed by the trigeminal nerve and mistaken by the brain as an irritant in the nose. Hence, a sneeze. Thanks to all the doctors and researchers for this neat information. Just a little food for thought.
