Well, I figured it was time to post something, anything for this here blog spot! I am back in the saddle again with my writing, after several months of feeling a bit torn about it I have been renewed. I am visiting a published author who attends our church on a regular basis and she has given me a mountain of ideas and advice, which I greatly appreciate. She's truly an amazing person who has been through a lot and she still is willing to help this poor lowly wannabe.

Christmas is 10 days away, and I actually have most of my shopping done, I just need to get stocking stuffers and I'll be through. It feels like crunch time though. I have so much to do next week, I have to give a talk at church for which I still have yet to prepare, I have to get Caulin's cross-over ceremony taken care of for Tuesday night's Pack Meeting and Caulin has a "waxless-Museum" display/exhibit due on Wednesday and I have to go and help him with that at school. Cameron has finals and we are helping him study for those, and then Mattie will be home on Friday! Busy week for sure.

Gosh, I'm just tired thinking about all next week. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't keal over before it's through! ha ha...
Well, I guess that's it, I love Christmas time, the spirit is in the air and it's wonderful!

ThoughtsTo Ponder

ThoughtsTo Ponder

Ok, so someone has been buggin me to update...so here goes...nothing new to post. How's that? ha ha...
Well, it's coming on Fall here, the weather is actually descent. Still no rain, but at least it's cooling down a bit. 50's during the evening and mornings, and in the upper 70's to 80's during the day. Fairly livable to be sure.

I've been stuck on my writing, don't feel any urge to write, although I should. Not really writers block, Just not much left in me to write after I read and critique. I guess this feeling will pass, I'm sure other writers go through this...probably nothing new to them, so I gotta stick with it. I met a cool lady at church who is a published writer and just a fascinating woman. She's in assisted living for Seniors, sort of a limbo for her that her kids put her in, it's a shame too, her kids don't know how wonderful she is. I'll write more about her later, I have an article all about her, I submitted it at the writers forum I'm a member of, over in the journalism folder...maybe I'll submit it to a paper or mag around here and see if I can get it published. We'll see.

Ok, tired now...off to bed now...you happy now Mattie! ;)

Well, gosh...my little baby, my sweet little girl who it seems I just brought home from the hospital yesterday has turned 20 yrs. old...and it seems to be a big deal to her but not as much to me.
Maybe because, I've watched and seen her grow and mature and I am very pleased and happy in the way she has turned out. She's a good girl, full of fun and sweetness, but she's also serious and intense at times. Always an over achiever, she's going to school and making something of herself. What parent wouldn't be proud of that, but most importantly she knows who she is and what she stands for, that is something to be most happy with and proud of.
I am nostalgic when I think of her growing years and full of all kinds of emotions when I think of certain events or incidents that have marked her's and my growth. She was my first born, and the one I had to learn all my experiences of parenting on...poor thing. She taught me well, and hopefully in turn I have taught her. I love her and am so glad that she's not a kid anymore, but a young woman, that I can begin to relate to as not only my grown daughter but a peer. I look forward to her adulthood!

Ok, just trying out my photobucket pic of my elouai's paper doll, She's kind of cute!

Another day...

Well, my hub is out of town and we had a huge power outage in our area that lasted almost an hour! Do you know your cordless phones are pretty much useless in these occasions, I think we need to have handy an old corded phone for emergencies like these. Luckily my cell phone had a few lines left and my son had just fully charged his or we would have been in trouble! When I called the electric company they had a lame recording about the unusual temperature were the reason for the black outs in all of the North Texas area and that everyones electricity would go out for a minimum amount of time and that all would be restored by 7 pm! yah right, unusual temperatures!! It's always this hot this time of year, get out of here! Well, they were true to their word and the power was back on before 7. We had dinner in the oven though and it didn't get done so we had to trek a few miles to the nearest Mickey D's that had power! THe kids were happy about that, I would have rather had a steak, but oh well, we survived and I guess it could've been worse!
