AJ enjoying his yummy Long John w/ Bavarian Cream inside..:)

Happy 2012 Everybody! Yesterday was Martin Luther King Day & my son,AJ was out of school so we went to Walmart & he bought some Star Wars action figures-(clone troopers) with sum of his allowance & I got us some donuts & him some Skittles..:)

Where did the year 2011 go?? I don't even know..I turned my back & poof it was over! It goes without saying with kids time flies! On New Years Day we enjoyed some collards,black eyed peas & cornbread..it was wonderful!

AJ is back in school..he was out almost 3 weeks during the holidays..the sleep in days & the all day in PJ's was fabulous..:) I often worry if I'll ever be out of the woods when it comes to my level of worry for the well being of AJ..I think I already know the answer to that & it is NO..lol When he was born my worry developed right away.I worried whether he had enough to eat,about the way he was breathing while he slept,even as he grows I worry abt his development.Then there's the worry of safety-sunburns & falling.Thankfully we've been very blessed to have had to endure any real trauma with him.Outside of his Asthma & the scary event of his SID induced acid reflux when he was a baby he's been healthy & injury free.A friend of mine with teenagers says the bigger they are the bigger problems..I'm thinking it gets worse..I'll be in a nut hut if it gets worse...I'm a worry wart in every sense of the word! Oh well I'll just have to go with the flow.:)

Death...:(

It seems like such a pity that the scattered members of families almost never get together except in times of loss.Someone dies..someone dearly beloved & suddenly the phone lines are hot & emails begin to fly.People who keep in touch only at Christmas,people who haven't heard each others voices in months even years are communicating.They say "We want to come"!To comfort each other..to see each other again-brothers & sisters long apart.Aunts & uncles & cousins..second & third cousins too..the whole clan! So many of them arriving from so many places.In this busy world where distances are great & relatives tend to become strangers blood ties are still strong.Despite the sadness of the occasion it is pleasant in so many ways almost like a family reunion.You all sit around laughing,talking & eating food that neighbors & friends have brought in.If only people could have get to gathers when we are all alive but people are so busy & so far apart.It takes the deep seriousness of death to draw us,to make us realize that all lives that relate to us are special-these scattered lives.It's sad to say goodbye but in the end if your heart is right with your maker we will all meet again!

Rambling..lol



Me

So..a lil about me..hmmm!

I'm a wife,mom,daughter,sister,aunt & a friend.I married my soul mate,Eddie..



We laugh alot..he gets me & my crazy ideas..lol! We have one son & one very spoiled dog named Cooper & one very spoiled cat,Tiger.
I have many passions-cooking,baking,painting,scrapbooking,writing poetry & reading.
My family is VERY important to me..I'm a stay at home mom-(SAHM) by choice.Each day brings something new.
We never know what God has in store for our family but we do know that we are in this together.
I love putting my thoughts on paper so I thought that a blog would be ideal for me.So far so good..;)
Happy Blogging!
