Life As I See It

What? Do some of you see something other than sheep? That's all I see! Is there something more to this? Am I blind? Teeheeheeheeheeheehee LOL!
I loved it!

These are awesome.....would love to see one with a beach and palm trees. And one with dophins on it and one with.......I could go on and on!!!! Haven't tried downloading any yet.....will maybe have to give it a shot later. Thanks for your efforts to create for everyone!

I won't ever bungee jump......gives me the willies just thinking about it! I haven't ever had a fascination about going abroad either.....far too many places in North America that I'd like to see first. But I think it's great for people to travel the world if that is what the want to do! Sounds like you had a wonderful time....anxious to hear "the rest of the story"......(you aren't Paul Harvey in disguise, are ya? LOL LOL LOL!!)

Your goals are and should be just that....your goals for the day. It does not matter what anyone else may think. I think a goal of cooking dinner is great....I haven't cooked dinner in so long I think I've forgotten how. I set goals for myself (usually just in my mind) but it may include things like "wash the dishes".....I know there are plenty of days I need to just have something I am aiming at. As for the day you set the goal to clean the house, and you didn't reach the goal....well I do believe that we need to aim high....so that we can miss the mark some of the time. We have to reach for things that some of the times are out of reach!!!
Enjoy your time with your little ones...they do grow up way too fast...my 'babies' are 26 and almost 29 ! UGH!!!! Where on earth did the time go?!! And how on earth can I have one reaching the age of 29? I'm not old enough to have a child that age!!
Hugs to ya'll!

Glad to hear you're introducing the kids to G. There will be an adjustment period, for all of you!! But things like trips to the park will be so good for all of you! The thing I learned is that you just can't try to force the other person on the kids. I told mine when I started seeing Vic that I wanted them to form their own opinions of him....don't listen to your dad's negative snide remarks and don't listen to my 'gushing' - just get to know him and decide for yourself what kind of man he is. (I knew they would see him as I did!! and I was right!)

Here's wishing you great days, every day! Glad to hear the washer is fixed.....that is such a pain when it is not working, and it takes so darned long to catch up once it is fixed!! Glad you and hubby had a good talk about kota....that's important!

Sounds like you've found a little piece of heaven on earth! Enjoy!

Great information to share. Even though I am living in Missouri now, there is the New Madrid fault, which shook our area about a month ago. I didn't think I felt it, but when I thought about it later, I really think I did. So many people think they are safe because they don't live in "the big shaky" - aka California.....but our earth is made up of tectonic plates and an earthquake can happen anywhere. Good information for all of us to read. It just might save our lives one day. Thank you!!

I don't know how you bit your tongue with her. A bad experience this time will make for a terrific trip the next time. You'll have time to save up the money, you'll do things your way and all will be well. I'm happy the kids made it to Florida and that you all made it back home!!!

Oh I remember those little "fights" between my kids. Makes me smile. And I can hear me saying the same you said....something like "since when does that seat have YOUR name on it? Last I knew it was MY couch and I will let anyone sit on it that wants to!" (SO THERE!!!) Hugs to ya'll~!

I don't know if I knew you on blogster or not, but I feel like I can get to know you now. Even though it hurts too much to deal with the abuse of the past, it will be so good for you to do it. I think of it kinda like taking off a bandaid....pull it really slowly and the pain isn't so bad, yet it lasts a lot longer (keeping things to yourself)....or pull it off really fast, hurts more, but the pain is gone sooner (facing the issues of our past). We all have things in our past that have to be dealt with. I hope you find the courage to face them head on, and get them put into their proper place. You have two little boys who want and need their mommy's love! And you are filled with love for them!! Hugs to ya.....I'm keeping you in my prayers!

This was great. Gave me several chuckles to start my day. Out of the mouths of babes........!!!

It sounds to me like you have one special person in J. And I'm sure you are equally as great! What a terrific birthday. I loved the part about sneaking into your own apartment to make sure everything was in order! That made me laugh! Happy Birthday to you! (alas, a day or two late!)

Aaaahhh! A woman after my own heart. I think you describe it beautifully and it is with that same passion that we should all love our mates...male or female. It isn't about shallow things like who takes care of the car and mows the grass, or about who cleans the house and does the wash. It is about giving yourself so completely that the other person is shaped into who they can really be. I applaud your openness and honesty. Now if only I could be that woman myself!! ILMP OXSLOX

there are usually way more questions than there are answers! I know what ya mean....some times we just have to ponder our lives. Just know we're all here for ya!!! Hugs to ya'll!
