People Passing Away Really Gets to me.

So, No, I am not talking about Patrick Swayze. Even though, I was incredibly sad to hear about HIS passing as well. I can't Imagine that Pancreatic Cancer would leave you anything but suffering. How extremely sad and painful his last year or two of life must have been.

but no. My Uncle Lee Passed Away on the 16th of September. he was probably one of my most favorite great Uncles. he was funny and he had an awesome way of telling stories and being so real about stuff. He had a really nice tone to his voice. and I know you're probably wondering why there is a picture of a TY horse on this blog and there is a good reason for it.



For as long as I can remember, I mean, I must have been about Six or Seven. My Uncle Lee always told me that he would get me a pony. Every time my family had a get together at my Nana G's Camp, I would always hang around him and listen to him talk and tell stories. and every single time, without fail, he would say, "One day, I am going to get you a Pony".

About Two weeks before my 18th Birthday, I was talking to my grandmother about My Uncle Lee and Aunt Bev, I was about 8 weeks pregnant with Cole at the time, and I said " You Know, Uncle Lee never got me that Pony he promised me", and my grandmother Laughed.

Two weeks Later on my birthday, there was a birthday present from My Aunt Bev and Uncle Lee, which is unusual, they don't usually give gifts on Birthdays, to anyone, but maybe my grandparents. and I opened it and there was my pony. it may not have been the big giant pony I was thinking of, but it still touched me, that he finally, after 12 years, gave me the pony he has always promised me as a little girl.

So, The morning that he passed, my dad called me early, to tell me. My Grandmother, I guess was worried about my reaction to this news. I was incredibly sad. he was 72 years old, and he was unwell, but it's hard to imagine people that you love passing. he was a such a Sweet Man, and I feel sad, that the last time I saw him, I was in the Hospital with Lincoln. so when I found out, I got the pony down from it's place on my Hutch Dresser and just held onto it for a little while and then I put it back, and told Michael that if he ever accidentally threw it away or let the kids play with it, I would be incredibly upset and want to kick his butt. it has been on my dresser since the day I got it, and now it's there as a form of remembrance.


I Love You, Uncle Lee. May you rest in peace.

Happy Birthday, Keegan! :)

Me..... :(

Last night I was cooking us a delicious, Pepper BBQ Chicken, Corn on the Cob and Roasted Vegetables, and I was dividing them up between Michael and I as the kids had already ate, and Lincoln pulled Michaels plate with the just out of the oven Vegetables onto himself and has burns on the side of his face, so I ended up crying every time I looked at him last night. :(

Here is what the damage is:



Please, Please, PLEASE don't scar. :( :(

You're Lucky that wasn't my two year old, Dude

So, A few days ago, My friend, Rachel, sent me a Link regarding a 61 year old man who slapped a TWO year old in a Georgia Walmart for Crying.

there was a blog featured on the side titled "the slap heard around the world" and I could not BELIEVE the comments that were posted condoning what this man did.

The Article states that he had warned the lady to begin with. Who ignores someone when they threaten to "shut your child up"? I mean honestly? and then how did this man get close enough to this kid to actually physically SLAP her?

let me just say....

If it was my kid, OVER MY DEAD BODY, under no circumstances would this guy have gotten even close enough to my child to do this before my crazy cougar mother instincts kicked in and I whooped his ass for even thinking it was okay.

I don't usually swear on my blog but this really ticks me off. and what makes me mad more than that is there are more people out there who would do this to a child or moreso, thinks that what this man did was justified.

I noticed a few comments on their stating that the girl should have left with her daughter, while I agree, as I have done and will continue to do so when my kids are acting like heathens, sometimes, you just CAN'T leave.

Some people have children who when they walk into a store, just something switches on and they act like an animal, and others are good, but then get bored and start acting out. I've gone to a grocery store before and had cole FLIP out because I made him walk and he didn't want to. I had a ton of groceries in my cart. I wasn't going to leave it out, possibly make the food go bad and have to make someone put it away.

my point is. Kids are just kids. it's hard to work around their schedule. they are going to throw a tantrum if you look at them wrong sometimes, and they are going to act out at a grocery store especially if you don't let them have what they want. and sometimes, you can leave without having to leave perishables behind and other times you just need food, what makes a difference is if she is throwing a tantrum now over shopping or later when you try. it wouldn't make a difference. kids are JUST kids. as I said.

It's kind of scary that if this man could lose it over a little girl crying in a store, what he would do if an adult made him mad. regardless, it's pretty low to take your anger out on a strangers kid.

and as I said. if I had been that mother, over my dead body.

My Little Shrimp.

He is so sweet. What a Blankie boy he is! :)


"Look Momma! I can cheese real good for you!"



That's all. Just two cute pictures I pulled off my Camera today! :)

Today is AWESOME!

In 11 Short hours, my husband will be coming home from his two month long TDY trip to Missouri, and for the record, EVERYONE, he IS bringing a puppy back with him. I know. I am an idiot. but a patient Idiot so I guess that is okay!

Anyways. I must go. My to-do list isn't getting any shorter messing around on the computer!

Just a Little word of Wisdom from a Facebook App.

I am too tired to post anything else. it meant something to me, so I thought it'd be cool to share:

"You've got to live life, not think about it. Step into the midst of things, try and ...fail and learn and stand up again. The question is not whether you will or will not make mistakes - you will. The question is do you want to learn and grow, or do you want to shrink back and be stuck? Take that step you've been avoiding. You can succeed, or you can get feedback that it didn't work, but in either case you are sure to feel alive"
