ummm...let me see...Geesh these past three weeks have been so crazy that I personally am begining to think I am going crazy. Well, crazy is as crazy does, I suppose. It has just got to be the weather, right? One thing I am trying my best to understand is the fact that you can't change people - that's a given fact. They are going to be the same way they have always been til the cows come home. So why am I banging my hand against a rock? No more - wise up girl! So if they want to have a good ol' case of the crazy's then that's all good with me because I am not resposible for them- thank goodness;-) I have road the crazy train too long and I no longer need any excess baggage. I got off at the "Long Black Train" long ago and need no part of the craziness that is going on....

Two Inches With Bangs Please

Sorry it has been a few weeks since I last blogged. It has been busy around here trying to get home school started for my daughter, which she started Monday. Then my husband is in school...so by the time I find an empty computer around the house I am usually too pooped to blogged or I have mentally blooged all day in my mind and I have nothing to say. Did I just say mentally blogged? Yes, I think we all do it....we just aren't aware of it.

Anyway, my daughter and I went to the salon this afternoon to have our hair cut and high lited. Any woman knows having that done can take awhile so, you might as well relax and forget about your worries for awhile.I was finished and was waiting on my daughter to finish up and at this point, I had ventured out into people watching (loads of entertainment). So I was watching people come and leave from the salon, but there was this one man that struck my attention. He looked to be a hard working man, who perhaps worked outside and had brought his two teenage daughters in for hair cuts.Let me tell you one thing...that man was a good daddy. He knew just what he wanted his girls to have done to their hair - about two inches off the back and bangs. BAM! Simple as that! I sat there amazed and trying hard not to gaze in their direction, but all the time I was thinking, "Gosh, he is such a good daddy!".

Now, I wonder if I could make somethings in my life as simple as that man did in deciding two inches and bangs. Something to think about. Sure would make life a little simplier. So the next time I find myself having to make decisions, I am going with two inches and bangs-just to keep things simple. Remember-"It is written",

Only Child, Touchy Subject, Cause Tomorrow Could Be Too Late

I am an only child. I would consider myself a hybrid-only child why? you ask- I was raised that way. My mama and daddy made sure to teach me right from wrong and to share and to NEVER eat in front of others if I didn't have enough to give to everyone. And I look back on that today and I have instilled much of my raising in my daughter, who is also an only child. There is nothing wrong with only children- it is all about how they are raised. If kids are raised to be bratty, well...there you are, you have a bratty kid and likewise if a kid is raised to be respectful and have morals well there you go.
I am saying all of this to say with the up most respect, most all of us come from blended families- that is a given in today's society. However, my problem I seem to have when partcallity is shown in the family. This is such an touchy subject with me right now. I know there is a problem, but I just pray that God will give me the strength to somehow face this because when it comes down to our children it is an entirely different ball game. Grand kids are grand kids plain and simple they should not be seen different in the eyes of grandparents just like kids are kids and should not be seen differently in the eyes of the parents. This is just my take on the way things should go. No matter how old your kids get they are still your kids and they should feel comfortable around you and the same goes for grand kids even though the age range can sometimes vary to 25 down to the age of 2 you can still find something in common with them and treasure the time that you have with each of them. Cause tomorrow could be too late. Kids change, grandchildren change and develop their own thoughts on what they see and it's hard to change those opinions and to sit there and act like everything is ok when it's not. It's not what you can buy at Christmas or how many times you get together, but it's having a relationship that is priceless. I have said what I have said out of love. May God Bless.

A lot Going On, Aweful Girl's, and Prayer

Not really sure where I want to go with the blog tonight. I have so much on my mind. On Tuesday, I went for a MRI on my brain to see it could help with the diagnoses of MS. Well, I feel fairly confident that's not was is going on with my body. I really think it is this hot, hot Southern weather that has me and my system outta whack. In the mean time I will continue to pray for rain. Homeschooling around here is getting ready to kick off. Am I ready, no...um well maybe...It is always nice to start something new and exciting and I have bigger and better plans this school year. I plan to be more structured in our planning. After all my daughter is technically starting High School, although she already has quite a few HS classes under her already. So yes we are excited and yes I am so glad to be homeschooling her her once again this year. I would have it no other way. Kids today are awful! Yes, I just said it- awful! Girls are the worst. Plain and simple and I honestly don't remember it being it that way while I was in HS. Maybe, I was just one of those awful girls...lol J/k. Oh I could ramble on about teenagers, but I won't cause most of you already know cause ....Guess what? You have one lurking around your own household. So I'll hush about that. I have a very dear friend of mine who is battling cancer and is only a year younger than myself. please pray for her. Until I blog again...remember "It is written"...
