Michael Jackson 1958-2009

There are no words to describe the loss the music industry has suffered. Much like learning of Elvis' passing, the news of Michael Jackson's death has shocked us all.



He did something extrodinary for the music industry, again just like Elvis. MJ will be deeply missed, regardless of his personal trials and troubles, he was a music man whose songs and lyrics will linger in us forever!


I leave you with this video and my favorite MJ song..well I have tons of other favorites but this one has always been my #1!

(be sure and pause the music at the bottom of the page before watching the video)

You will be missed!
Let us also not forget the passing of Farrah Fawcet and Ed McMahon. Such great losses in the entertainment industry this week!




Much love.

Pictures!

Here are some random pictures over the past month. I have more..just not with me!

My friend Sierra and I, re-did my boys' bathroom while Jason was out of town for work...hard work, but worth it!

Much love.

School days!

So what, it's been like a month since I have last blogged!!!!!!! I can't even imagine the thoughts that people must be having (i.e., I am laying in a ditch somewhere, vanished into thin air, etc.!)

Well, I can assure you that I am alive and well! I may not be fully functional, but I am alive!
The last thing that happened was my PC at the office was blown up. Well, TA-DA! I finally got it! Okay, so I have had it for a while...but just haven't blogged. And don't even ask me why I don't blog at home...seriously, have you ever been to my house??? Yeah...it ain't happening!

So, I lost a friend (to a move, not death) gained some much needed confidence, got a swift kick in the butt and am now going back to school for my MA (medical assistants license) and will be finished with that after an externship in January. Hopefully then, I will be hired on at my pediatrician's office (the swift kick) and be a happy camper!!

I am in school Monday through Thursdays, 5:30-10:30 and Jason is at home with the boys playing single parent. Last night was our first run of this and everyone did well! I am so happy to have his support, along with the rest of my family. My mom even put a binder with paper and pens together for me after I told her I hadn't gotten a notebook to even take notes on the first day! Lol...it's been a long time since I stepped foot into a classroom!

I am super excited and and will keep you all updated! I am going to try and post once a week just to keep this up! Please hang tight, as I am still adjusting to my new schedule!

Much love.

Um yeah...

So, you see that post down below this one???? Have no clue what happened to it! I would type a word and the second I would space, it would turn to gibberish! I continued writing, thinking it would work itself out, but it didn't and now, I haven't the foggiest idea of what I even wrote!

All I know is my PC is dead at the office and I am still waiting on my new one to come in (it's been a week since my PC blew up!). I am tired, bitchy, pissy, touchy, whiny, hungry, irritated, frustrated and I just want this week to end!

I have been busy at home, but I couldn't even begin to tell you with what. My mind is blank, just like the computer monitor in my office. That was a sad attempt to make someone crack a smile...did it work? Probably not.

Anyway, I have BOO COOS of pictures to show everyone, but, oh yeah..that's right I don't have a computer...I am currently using another employee's PC and I don't want to bog it down with all my family fun pictures, and I won't even attempt to do that at home...I may just get attacked!

So there, I hope to be back up and running soon.

Much love.

Oh man...

Geez, its been over a month since I last blogged!!! I horrible is that? I have been super super busy..and in all honestly, it HAD slowed down, but apparently picked back up again! I have so much to catch everyone up on! I am going to try and upload the boys' first Mardi Gras parade on the computer from home!


They had a good time, and so did I. My sister and I took the boys to the Highland parade, it took Jacob a bit to get used to all that was going on, but he finally came out of his shell...I am sure you will be able to tell by the pictures!

Here are the boys waiting for the parade to start..we had to walk a ways to our spot, hence the strollers..

Colt, not napping...just waiting...
Jacob...waiting..

coming out of their shells....

"Throw me something Mister!!"

me and Colty catching some beads!

divvying up the goods!!

and...ready to go home!

So, all in all the boys really enjoyed the parade! We had a great spot at the beginning of the route, and the boys were on their best behavior! We will definitely be going back next year!

Much love.

Pay it forward!

Since I have been SO horrible at blogging lately, I thought I would do something nice for those who often check in with me! But I promise to blog soon...I have much to tell!

I got this from Sierra's blog and thought I would try it as well!

Here's how it works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well-before you leave your comment here, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. Then come back, let me know you're going to play, and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Remember that only the first 3 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick!"It will be fun and it will give me an excuse to make something!!"

P.S. Make sure you give me your address too in case I don't have it! I think only a handful of people live close to me to where I can make hand deliveries!

Much love.
