Garage Sale: Part II

9:51 pm May 28, 2009

moneyI am sitting on the floor of my bedroom, feeling very much like a drug dealer. $20 bills, $10 bills, $5 bills, even the occasional $50 bill spread on in front of me creating a carpet of dark green. I count and recount. “This can’t be right!”,  I whisper to only myself.  I can hear the calls of my family from the floor below me, demanding a final total…desperate to  know if their hard work had paid off at all.

$399.00. Yes, three hundred ninety nine dollars. This, my friends, is the final total from day one of our garage sale. This morning I was hoping Read more…

This Week In Politics

9:45 pm May 27, 2009

securityThis week The President’s biggest issues were Security and Values, and A New Era for Credit Cards. The Security and Values issue came up when he chose to close Guantanamo by stating this in his address. “For the first time since 2002, we’re providing the necessary resources and strategic direction to take the fight to the extremists who attacked us on 9/11 in Afghanistan and  Pakistan. We’re investing in the 21st century military and intelligence capabilities that will allow us to stay one step ahead of a nimble enemy.  We have re-energized a global non-proliferation regime to deny the world’s most dangerous people access to the world’s deadliest weapons.  And we’ve launched an effort to secure all loose nuclear materials within four years.  We’re better protecting Read more…

Death Take My Hand

7:59 pm

Wrestling with thoughts of suicide,
Death please be my dark guide,
Take my hand promise not to lie,
Let sweet darkness end the stress and strife.

In this life there’s no peace or rest,
Rats in a race is the very best,
Each day sees a new life test,
Darkness clings close to my breast.

A broken mess of scattered dreams,
Wonder if the reaper hears my screams,
As it all comes apart at the seams,
No longer understand what it Read More...

A SOUL’S JOURNEY

10:05 pm May 25, 2009

findingmyselfSo many times in our lives, we reach our crossroads and we are given options on which road to take. Sometimes, with our eyes closed, we take the plunge and go straight where instinct leads us. Sometimes, we calculate all the risks and end up more confused. Sadly though, some people simply refuse to take any step further and content themselves with “what if’s”.

I had a midlife crisis at 33. That was the time when I was emptied of my faith and had to start all over again. I questioned Read more…

A Sad Story About Fungus, with a Happy Ending

11:44 pm May 22, 2009

fungusSince our boys are in wrestling at the elementary school, skin things get spread around. In December, our oldest son came home from a meet with small red rash near his mouth which I quickly diagnosed as seborrhoeic dermatitis (thinking I was quite clever). I started treating it with hydrocortizone cream, which is to skin rashes that Carmex is to chapped lips, and a vacuum cleaner is to dirt on the floor. This didn’t work, so I started applying Lamisil cream which is used to treat jock itch that just happened to be lying around the house? That didn’t work. I think it was here that I realized maybe all skin fungi aren’t the same, so can’t be treated the same. When the two other boys got little spots near their mouths, I realized I needed to try something else. It has been 3 months Read more…

But I guess sometimes it takes iconic larger than life figures to speak to us in  ways that the most pie eyed, strar struck people can understand. Thank you, Elvis for Read More...

garage_saleAgainst my better judgment, I have begrudgingly agreed to participate in our annual subdivision garage sale. Visions of strangers manhandling my previously prized possessions, scowling at the mere thought of the $2.00 asking price for an impeccable  Ralph Lauren blazer and trying to negotiate the price of a dog-eared Dora The Explorer book down from twenty five cents to ten cents are already dancing in my head. What am I getting into here?

baby-with-bearTransition is hard for any child, this is completely true when it comes to moving your baby to his or her own bed. Co-sleeping is a controversial topic, however, many parents do co-sleep with their children. Co-sleeping has not been shown to delay your children’s independence or their ability to grow in a normal way.

There will be a day when you decide that your bed is no longer big enough to be shared with your child, and this may be one of the hardest transitions of your child’s life. The transition from parents bed Read more…

Happiness

7:21 pm

Is Happiness a passing emotion or a permanent state? The Bible says it can be both. There is happiness that reacts to happenings (which is temporary and volatile), and there is happiness that overrides happenings(which is strong and lasting).

Happiness based on happenings is part of life, but if that is all we can count on we have to keep feeding ourselves with events to keep us upbeat.
Those who know the joy that comes from God don’t need happenings to keep them happy. Read More...

Mesothelioma Kills, I Should Know

He was a proud man who worked hard to provide for his family. He owned and operated a construction/demolition business in New York, and hardly ever missed a day’s work. Little did we know then about the dangers of Asbestos exposure. Back in the 60’s and 70’s no one was aware of the dangers of Asbestos exposure and that it is linked to Mesothelioma, a very destructive form of lung cancer. Read more…

American Idol, The Winner is….

UPDATE: Kris Allen was voted the American Idol.

After weeks of singing and songs and voting, it will all come down to Tuesday Night’s finale for American Idol. The two remaining singers are Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, pictured to the left.
These are the two finalists in the 8th season of American Idol.  Now, this is just my opinion, and I am entitled to my opinion, so if you don’t like it, don’t read it. I already got bashed for a previous post I did, and I feel that if you have that strong of an opinion yourself, you should write about it on your own blog!
