I WONDER

Things I can't understand;

When someone takes a bite of something (or smells it) and says "ooooh that's bad, here taste (smell) it". DUH!!!

When complete strangers ask me if my twins were conceived naturally or not. That is NOT your business!

Why the insurance company and the doctors office can't get my kids bills correct! They are NOT the same person!

Grits.......'nuff said!

How many more years until they run out of different phone numbers, with everyone having a cell, a home phone, an office number......etc.......I'm worried that I will share a number with some crazy person and receive odd messages.

I do really wonder how we survived all those years before internet and DVRs! I want to redo High School with the internet. I bet I could do really well........well , maybe not ........I would be busy facebooking and stuff and never get my work done. I would save money on white out though! My typewriter didn't have the correction tab until I was a senior!

Jen Lancaster was great!!!

I really am not the kind of person who has hobbies, but the one thing I love and get excited over is books! I love to read, so when I heard that one of my newly favorite authors was doing a book tour in my area I was elated!
I felt like a teenager going to her first concert when I got to speak to her! Listening to her read an excerpt from her latest book was better than reading it! I can say that I was never a groupie to any 80's rock bands but I could become one of many authors!
If you haven't read any of Jen Lancasters works, you really should give them a try. Not my usual genre , but absolutely addicting.

*note......the outfit and hair in picture of myself is in no way shape or form the way I normally look!!! It was an 80's inspired tour, therefore I chose to step back into the era!!

Mother

Because of the complexity and differences of the social, cultural, and religious definitions and roles, it is challenging to define a mother in a universally accepted definition. This is what I got when I looked up mother.
As a mother we all want to do the right things in raising our children, but what is the right thing?
I know that I am not the mother that I thought I would be, but does that mean I'm not a good mother? I believe if we love our kids and try to our best ability to make them into productive members of society that are good people we have done our job. I love my children unconditionally and want them to be happy. I want my children to have everything they need and want. I want them to never feel alone, sadness or heartache........but I know that they will, and if they didn't then they wouldn't have experienced life. So maybe what I really want is for them to know that I will be there for them during all these things, and they can always count on mom to listen, comfort and understand.
Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there, know this is one job that you aren't going to get laid off from! Our work is never done and we love it!

OFF

Nine, yes nine........that is too many mosquito bites to have on May 2nd! I could possibly be infected with malaria now! Seriously who gets eaten alive by mosquitoes on May day? These mosquitoes aren't normal size either, they are mutant mosquitoes that could carry away a small child! Time to break out the OFF and spray away!!
