A New Day

I'm BAAACK!

So very much has transpired since I last posted. My boy has grown to 4 years old and my Hubby has just grown old, but in so many positive and grateful ways. Now I have a new daughter who I like to call cupcake.

She looked like this when she was born:

She looks like this now:

I have decided that I will continue to write as much as possible. Not just about my family and personal life, but about what little creative ideas come out of this noggin. I need to, and for all the right reasons. I need it to be cathartic and productive at the same time.

Let's get this party started...in a few.

Maddie

I don't post much anymore, but I feel compelled to blog about her. Just hearing her name has started to have an effect on me the past two days. There is simply no way I could imagine being in her parents shoes. I feel truly grateful for my son's health and appreciate him even more than I already did.

God bless that little girl, and the family that lost her.

Evil TV

I know I shouldn't let my boy watch TV in any form, but its the only way I can eat/pee/work/blog. Plus I don't let him watch more than an hour and it contains no commercials. I know I'm just trying to justify my weakness by posting it on the Internet, but I read an article yesterday about TV and children and like everyone else with children I go with what works.

You Want It, You Got It.

We got our Christmas tree a couple of weeks ago. The day before was 60 degrees out, and the day after was 60 degrees. We went on the only day it was below 20 degrees out. Go figure.

Some may recognize this red snow suit.

This was the best picture I could take of him while we were there

Merry Christmas To Screwed AT&T Workers And The Like

This post is for all those who just got completed screwed by AT&T with their latest cut backs, or "surplus" to be PC. I say merry Christmas because they decided to do it this month, the month of caring and giving and loving. Those of you out there that got this bum deal, Merry Christmas! You need it more than anyone.

But let me not forget about all those who got screwed by other companies. You too get a big MERRY CHRISTMAS!

And let us give thanks for this merry Christmas to the man himself. Yes, I mean Mr. Soon-To-Be-Ex President Bush. Thank you for ruining our economy single handily. I mean, it only took 8 years, right? That's got to be a record or something.

So to those of my family and friends that read this blog, and get nothing from us this Christmas, I apologize. We hope that next year will bring pleasant new beginnings, so we can spoil those we care most about that we cannot spoil this year.

Step #2

Hello all,

The baby... has teeth. Two little spots in the front on his lower jaw. "Like little pieces of rice", as one friend put it. I'm not ready. Not in the sense that I have no food for him, because boy do I, but in the sense that he's suppose to be my gummy-smile boy for at least another 2 months.

Cliche time:

They grow up to fast.

The Post-Game Highlights

So I went out a few weeks ago, and yes I had a great time. I ended up going home after 11:30pm and spent the next day enjoying my family and relaxing. The experience made me want to go out even more, so I intend to. Maybe not right away, but I will. Lucky hubby never got the chance to wake up every couple hours (I got home too soon), but next time...oh yes...next time.
