Gone are the days of Leave it to…


Gone are the days of Leave it to Beaver,
Matt Dillon and his sidekick Festus.
Now we survive on the immoral lives
Of those of the Young and the Restless!!
It`s not that they`re young,
They`re just uh, restless!
Not doing at all like they should!
So they go to the General Hospital,
And The Doctors can`t do `em no good.
So they keep on with their Search for Tomorrow
Not doing one thing that`s right!
And they all end up in Another World,
About to fall off The Edge of Night!
But that shouldn`t matter,
Cuz after all, As the World Turns
You only have but One Life to Live!
There remains a blessed hope for you
And All your Children,
More Hope than Ryan could ever give!
If we want true contentment, peace in our homes
With an end to marital strife
We must live for Jesus Christ
The Only Guiding Light
Not one, but All The Days of our Lives!

Although violence and the use of force may…

Although violence and the use of force may appear powerful and decisive, their benefits are short-lived. Violence can never bring a lasting and long term resolution to any problem, because it is unpredictable and for every problem it seems to solve, others are created. On the other hand, truth remains constant and will ultimately prevail. ~Dalai Lama

The Lord said to Noah:
“There’s gonna be a floody, floody”
The Lord said to Noah

Get those children out of the muddy, muddy,
Children of the Lord.
Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory,
Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory,
Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory,
Children of the Lord.

The Lord told Noah to build him an arky, arky,
Build it out of gopher barky barky
Children of the Lord.
The animals, the animals, they came on,

The animals, the animals, they came on, 
by twosies, twosies,
Elephants and kangaroosies, ‘roosies,
Children of the Lord.
It rained and poured for forty daysies, daysies,
It rained and poured for forty daysies, daysies,
Almost drove those animals crayzies, crayzies,
Children of the Lord.
The sun came out and dried up the landy, landy,
The sun came out and dried up the landy, landy,
Everything was fine and dandy, dandy,
Children of the Lord.

Another bizarre dream Last night I dreamt that…

Another bizarre dream
Last night I dreamt that my brother in law was becoming the next big pop star. Like everything else he was very laid back about it, except there was some freak stalking him. ANYWAY, he was performing at the fair grounds for a charity benefit and we were going to bring the girls to see him. For some reason we decided we’d need help with Keira, so one of her teachers (John) was coming with us and as a strange twist John had signed with the same label, but hadn’t gotten as popular as my BIL.
We went to pick up John on our way to the fair and I saw someone outside of his building climbing up to his apartment – and suddenly I went from “mild mannered mom” to some cross between Jessica Fletcher and a Ninja.
…. and at that point Keira woke me up …. so disappointing.

Anyone else afraid of IQ drain caused by listening to Sarah Palin?
I am one of the least intelligent people I know. If you have read any of my previous posts I don’t have to tell you that I have terrible spelling, my grammar / punctuation skills are non-existent and quite literally I have no education to speak of, sometimes even I’m surprised that I can form a sentence. I hate history, politics, and just reading in general. Flashing lights hold my attention. Do you understand?!?!?
I can afford to listen to Palin, I can’t afford the IQ drain.
Palin Quote “What Barack Obama seems to want to do is go back to before those days when we were in different classes based on income, based on color of skin.”
She does realize that Obama is BLACK – right? Or at least half of him is, but regardless he’s black enough that he’d be on the lower end of the classes. Unless Obama wants to put Whites at the lower end, however HALF of him is WHITE! So he’d be screwed either way.
I mean we already know he likes gays and Hispanics, he nominated one to become a judge. And “Radical Islamic” isn’t exactly a race or class – so that can’t be it.
I have a day dream of become a Billionaire and buying Fox news. In my day dream I walk into their head quarters and hand the keys over to either the Huffington post or The Daily Show – haven’t figured out which one I trust more. BUT my one request is that they stop any and all coverage of any Palin on the planet unless they die!
Can’t you hear Brian Williams “Today billionaire eDee Bruns hand full control of the Fox News Network over to John Steward” then Brian’s voice drops just a little so you …. assume he’s joking …… “under the stipulation of a Full Media Black Out of Sarah Palin” and he’ll add “Mrs. Bruns, I‘m looking into the cost of the NBC Nightly news – I‘ll get back to you.”
And the entire nation would wonder if Mr. Williams had just made a joke or if aliens had taken over his mind.
I think we need a slogan – I’m terrible with these, give me a hand – something like “Prevent Irreversible Brain Damage – MUTE Palin”
“MUTE Palin – because your mind is terrible thing to waste”
“This is your Brain. This is your Brian on Palin” sizzle “Any Questions?”

Got Riley her first pair of TIE sneakers…

Got Riley her first pair of TIE sneakers today.
With all Riley’s gifts she is the most uncoordinated person – she can’t even make a knot. lol We spent the first 10 minutes just getting her to cross the laces – nothing else, just the X part – getting the lace through the bottom of the X was another process all together.

You can’t tell me that I don’t have…

You can’t tell me that I don’t have THE BEST 7 year old EVER. We went to Family swim tonight, Keira had a melt down after 5 minutes, she just snapped! She has NEVER done this before, not like this. We took her out of the water and it got worse, I took her away from the water and it got much worse.
Finally it was obvious that we had to leave. I went back to the pool to get Riley and Tim. Riley didn’t complain or whine she just walked into the family changing room to get dressed. I had to send her back out to get her towel, which meant taking Keira back toward the water (which normally you can’t keep her out of) so the screeching got louder. And then I see my husband stumble and fall against the wall hardly able to walk. He had slipped and fallen hard, of course on to his bad knee and then on his hip. The life guard ran up behind him exasperated so I’m assuming Tim hit the ground rather hard. Then my husband sat down! this is something he never does. Keira’s inability to sit still she gets from his side of the family, my husband is always moving. And at this point I’m thinking ‘Oh God, they are going to have to call rescue to get him out of here’ – he really looked that bad. Figuring I better get Riley dressed before the next catastrophe hits, I rush her back into the dressing room – literally kick a woman out of the dressing room where I had left Riley’s clothing, Rush Riley getting dressed the ENTIRE TIME Keira is screaming uncontrollably. I had moved from the comforting mommy stage and I was in super realistic – deal with it – mommy phase at that point. I pulled Riley out of the dressing room in bare feet and into the hallway because that is the only place Keira had remotely looked as if she would calm down. And Riley didn’t say a word, she just held what I told her to carry, move when I told her to move, she didn’t yell at Keira, which at that point was the biggest shocker. Luckily Tim was able to get to the locker room and changed under his own power and as we walked out of the Community Center Riley was happy and sweet. I told her when she got home she was going to get 2 scoops of ice cream, covered in syrup topped with cookies … and she asked WHY? OMGOSH! I would have done anything she asked at that point she had been so good.

12 inches of snow Freezing temperatures Keira insists…

12 inches of snow. Freezing temperatures. Keira insists on wearing a swimsuit! All Day – can’t get it off her.
I couldn’t convince her that she couldn’t go swimming, so I opened the door thinking she’ll step out on the back porch and understand …. she stepped out, paused for a second, turned and started to close the door behind her! I had to drag her back inside!

Yesterday I sorted out all of Riley’s toys…

Yesterday I sorted out all of Riley’s toys, but didn’t have time to find homes for everything.
Me: Riley, I need you to come out here and watch Keira while I shovel the stairs.
Riley: Mom, you can’t be serious. You just found all my toys!
Me: Riley, they were in your toy box.
Riley: But MOM, I didn’t know that.
I guess, I can give her a little bit more time to play with her toys lol
