I must say that despite all that I've been hearing in the news, on the television programs and seeing on the Internet, even indirectly (because after a while I got sick of that mess) I felt bad for Briney Spears when I heard that she lost custody of her children, no mother wants that to ever happen no matter what. In the case of Britney however, her life had become such a debacle, we all saw this coming and I wonder if she didn't? She lost her kids because she didn't follow the instructio...

Well, she has moved out today. My 18 year old, who says to us, look at it as her growing up, not moving away. I want to, and I know she is, but right now I'm not feeling in a good enough mood to write the whole thing and give some perspective. I thought I would be able to write and discuss and process the whole thing but I'm just going to go tuck up in bed with the hubby, drink my Foster's and watch Sci Fi.... Life rears up and bites you in the ass sometimes and there are times I won...

I heard this on the television earlier and I realise how true that is! Our humanity is what makes us human! We are compassionate, loving, giving, kind. At the other end of the spectrum is that which makes us inhuman. So much so, that there are times we forget to be humane. It's happening to so many of us. We rush around going about our business, living our lives, as we should. But some of us are forgetting ourselves. I see it everyday, people rushing around, being careless with...

It's almost TGIF, my favorite time of the week! I missed story time with my five year old and am feeling a bit guilty. She gave me the book, I was doing something, "real quick" I said, and by the time I got to my room, where she loves to fall asleep in my bed, she was snoring away! Now I have to lift her up and lay her in her bed..soon. I'm sitting here, trying to read a couple of blogs and watch this new show on ABC "BigShots"...what a tangled web they weave! It looks interesting. I ...

Wait, should that be..Wham! Bam! Thank you Ma'am? Either way works I guess! That's how I'm feeling lately with everything I do - most of the time! I'm not complaining, just wanted to let some of you know I'm still here, just rather busy with life at the moment! Sometimes I log on and I make two or three responses, which is all I have time for and I'm off again! I feel like such a user!lol! Hey, that clicked somehow! But seriously, I can't even get the chance to do a proper read an...

Whooo....I just watched, well, an hour ago, Dancing with the Stars, the Men round and there are some really good prospects this season! I really wasn't looking forward to this season's competition, when I heard the names, I wasn't even impressed. The women, whose dancing I didn't watch last night (I was engrossed in Heroes and that new Chuck the nerd-spy, show on NBC), but I did catch the tail-end of it and watched the former Spice Girl, Mel B danced, she wasn't so bad either! The men'...

Eating chocolates makes me so, so, very happy! I can be in a crappy mood, slightly depressed, totally miserable and I take a bite of chocolate and WHAMMO....I get that chocolate fix! Hmmm...sigh.... It's been a non-stop-stress-infused busy time at work, and still is, my goodness you should see my desk! You wanna talk about multi-tasking? it's also that time of the ahem and I am so feeling drained between work and home. My co-worker was making a trip to the break area and asked me what...

Have you ever been talking to someone and then you say something and then wondered to yourself, “why did I say that?!” I didn’t say anything bad, it just was not something that I wanted to talk about yet it just blurts out! Why do people do that sometimes I wonder? I think it mostly happens when there is a gap, a silence, a lull in conversation and you’re thinking of something good and interesting to say and instead the most inane things come out of your mouth and you wish you...

My dyslexia is showing! Because I confuse my words sometimes, my spelling especially! And I can't correct my errors because the edit button is missing! I am so getting kicked off the system a lot! If I go on the Forum and try to go back to the main page, I'm logged out! What the....?! Commenting is near impossible! I have to remember to just refresh the page again, one, two, three times! Aw what the heck!

Life has been like a roller coaster lately. I've been so busy at work, home, and trying to find some time for myself in between. Time seems to be flying by so quickly! Can you imagine it's the middle of September already?! Wow! ************************************** Since my two youngest started school in August (around here they start that early!) it's been getting home, doing homework, (at least with my five year old!) getting dinner ready, a job my hubby and I share, most times ...

Foggy unclear littered My existence seems cloudy, forever confused the clutter that exists in each little corner of my being unable to lay my head to rest until I clear the cobwebs that lays around like a fog foggy-ing up my senses Unable to see the path that has become unclear, the way no longer there for me to tread oh where do I go from here, which path do I take? the path seemed to be bogged down Littered, by past unable to let go dragged through the corpses of minds ...

You there! behind your shiny-fiber-glassed existence your exterior all glossy and shiny new looking out on the world beyond your darkened windows fancy-wheels-spinning-AC-blasting does anything touches your interior? Or do you pretend not to see the real-world plight of the bedraggled man looking at you sign-holding-hungry-looking-wondering-what-happens-next to his existence? Or are you one of those who bat not an eyelid at such display of reality bites? are you one of those ...
