If there was a prize for sadness...

I would so win it. I have so few hours before I have to go to work tomorrow :( N and D get to sleep in and have fun and me? I have to go to work. Pout, pout.

Friday Flashback- The Cosby Show

The Cosby's have a special spot in my heart. They represent so much... a successful marriage with interesting kids and best of all the looked like me. Nope, my family was not like the Cosby's but we can all dream can't we. Every Thursday night The Cosby's transported my junior high mind to another place where problems were solved within thirty minutes and you could get a lesson and a laugh. I couldn't get enough of them.

What A Morning!!

Ok, whoever decided that high school should start at 7:25 did not consider the students who are tired as hell and completely dead to the world at that time or the teachers who would have to move mountains to get there. Ugh, I try so hard and it is still a feat for me to make it to work on time. And for the folks that don't have this problem, wait a second while I get your gold star.
So let me explain to you the comedy of errors that was my morning and when I say morning keep in mind all of this happened before 7 am. Unflippinbelievable! Without too much elaboration D dressed N while I was getting dressed, I hear N going poo after he is all dressed and ready to head out the door, I have to stop to change N (which includes removing sweat pants, unbuttoning his onesie and his shirt, changing the diaper, rebuttoning onesie, rebuttoning shirt, pulling up pants) all the while N is squirming away from me. Good times! So I finally get N, his bag, my work bag, lunch bag and RuPaul in the car and as I begin my drive my orange juice spills all over. I mean I was able to move my leg away quick enough to miss my dress and tights, but it went all over the console and the floor. UGH!! I need orange juice to start my day like coffee drinkers need their caffeine. Not a pretty start. And what was the ultimate was as I was driving I looked over and saw the Tropicana truck with the glistening orange and a straw. A tear, a tear!!!

Walk for the Cure

On October 18th I will participate in the Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure. I am looking forward to the walk and raising a little money for such an amazing cause. I am so fortunate that breast cancer has not touched my immediate circle, but I am certainly aware of the magnitude of this issue. I invite anyone who wants to join me to sign up. We can walk and then have a hearty lunch ;)

Church

Ok , I have never posted about church which is kinda odd since I post about so many other things in my life. But anyway, church on Sunday was awesome. I truly feel like no matter when I go, the message always strikes a cord with me on some level. Anyway this past Sunday was no different. I loved the songs and the ministry was great. Now I should also mention the opps of the day. First of all my son is such a talker that he was blabbing during most of the service. Now it doesn't bother me in the slightest, I just hope that my neighbors weren't disturbed. But the real opps was when my cell phone rang. Yep, I am that person. It rang! I was horrified. Not super loud and I was able to grab it while wrangling N, but it rang while the pastor was praying. Ugh.
Aside from that, I was handed a most timely card while I was walking out of the service. It read and I am paraphrasing but "Put God in the center and everything will be alright". Reading that gave me pause. How often do I want things to be a certain way but that way is my will and not His will? And then I am frustrated/pissed or the like when things are not as I want them to be. SO with all of that being said, I am working on keeping Him in the center of all things.

Flashback Friday-I'm Bad

Oh my gosh, this was my ish. I can still remember the order of the songs, the way LL looked in the video. Hell, I was going to be Mrs. James Todd Smith. I would not have even had to change my last name once we were married. This tape was almost worn out, I played it so much. If you needed a roughneck he was it in "I'm Bad" but he could melt your heart with "I need Love". LL was the complete package in this one. He put a fork in Kool Mo Dee and solidified my love affair that would last for years.
* You may notice the parental advisory on the corner*For me. it was kinda like an endorsement instead of a warning :)
