PIX

Okay, I know that I need to get more pics on here but, unfortunately I dont take a lot of pics. Shame on me!! I will regret it I know. But, good news is...Coshell likes to take pics of herself and jumps at the chance to be center stage when Michael takes the camera out. This one of the latest 'Ham' jobs.

What she is, is a mystery. To me she looks like a pink ninja frog, but your guess is as good as mine. She is a riot! Here is another one of her 'poses'. Reminds me of a tampon commercial or something but believe it or not, it took several takes to make her happy with the actual picture.

But I think my favorite picture of all time is this one. It was taken a while ago but she is in her 'Manager' jacket, and her exact words were "Mom, take a picture. This is me thinking".

I will make it a continual goal to get more photos, recent photos, of all of us...but I cant promise anything. Just that I will try!

The Eighth Wonder of Washington State

The strangest thing happened yesterday! The morning started off normally enough. I put Coshell on the bus and went in the house to start my day. Halfway through breakfast there was a strange stream of light peeking through the window. I went out into the backyard and couldnt believe what the thermometer on the fence said. I looked up into the sky and there was a very large, very bright, ball of what seemed like fire! It was making my backyard hot...85 degrees to be exact. What could it possibly be? I wondered to myself if this had ever happened before. I turned the news on to see if they had anything to say about it and I couldnt believe my ears. They called it the SUN! I marveled at its wonder.

I decided to go to the park and play some basketball. It was just me, myself and I...so we couldnt really play one on one. Myself sat out for a game so Me and I played. We were going to play shirts and skins, but there was NO way I was going to take off my shirt, and I couldnt get Me to do it either so we just shot some hoops. I got bored after a while and decided to take the dog for a walk. I didnt think I was outside for that long but...

apparently I was.










THEN, on my way back to the house I found a black stripe on the sidewalk.





At first glance I thought it was a crack in the asphalt. But it was moving. When I got closer...

They were ants! It was actually amazing to see them all going back and forth in the same line. It reminded me of A Bug's Life. There were a few straglers away from the line and I swear I could hear them screaming "IM LOST, IM LOST".

Well, its chore time. Gabe do you remember chore time? Or otherwise known as Saturday. I thought I was going to get out of it once I was grown up and had my own house and family...but, aparently Mom had a secret meeting with Michael at some point. Its chore time. :(

THANK YOU

You are all right...well, maybe not the PB&J thing :) but you are all right! I worry way too much about things that may or may not change. Pray for the strength to do what I need to do in the NOW and hope that my efforts make a difference...but in the mean time...I need to enjoy the TODAY!

By the way, Happy Mother's Day! It was a great day for me. Last night we had dinner at Grammy and Papa's house to celebrate Mother's Day, SweetPeas 10th!, Papa's birthday (he is a whopping 39! hee hee) and Michael's birthday. Coshell stayed over with Grammy so my day was quiet and calm. Coshell was kind of sad when Michael reminded her that it was mother's day but I assured her that it was alright for her to stay with Grammy. She made Michael promise that he WOULD NOT serve me breakfast in bed. How is that fair to me? I dont remember it being Coshell's day....it is mother's day right??? Anyway...he promised that he would wait for her to come home before he would serve me breakfast in bed. So, I got breakfast for dinner in bed. It was great!

Oh yeah, yesterday was also Me and Mom day at the zoo. Coshell and I, and a friend of mine and her daughter (who is 26) went and spent the day at the zoo. We had a great time! Although I was a little upset that the penguins were at another location. I got over it. And Gabe, your request has not been ignored. We have a new internet connection and it is easier for me to upload images. So, it is my mission this week to get plenty of pix for y'all to see! And without getting too sappy...I want to thank you all for your comments! They were all very insightful and sorely needed! It is always fun to hear from you! Love to all!

D-Railed!!

I have no excuses, well, no good ones anyway. I am still trying to make fitness a habit, rather than just this annoying thing I SHOULD do. It would help if I had more support at home but I guess that could just be considered another excuse. If anyone has any secrets or helpful hints that help them stay on track, I would LOVE to hear them! Its like I need someone to hold my hand and lead me in the right direction. Then stay there and make sure I do it! Why does this have to be so hard for some and not hard for others? I know we are all given our challenges and we are never given more than we can handle. I know that I have had seemingly harder challenges place before me. BUT, why is THIS such a struggle? The lamest part about this...I have succeeded before! Anyway...this is just too heavy for today...ha ha, excuse the punn, HEAVY...guess its the word of the day. Sorry, its a lame post...but I had to get it out of me and leave it to float in the lonely abyss of the internet. Tomorrow will be better...right?
