Merry Christmas to Everyone!
This is probably the best Christmas we will have with Logan this year. He is so in to Santa, and has NO doubts. He is full of the AWWW of the lights, decorations, and the presents. We have added about 10 minutes into our morning routine to look at all the presents under the tree.
But for those of you who are wondering. Yes, he has been told the other side of the story about Christmas. It is about Baby Jesus! And incase you are wondering, after he left the Manger, he lived in the jungle a while, then moved to Logan's heart. Out of the mouths of Babe's.
This is also the same kid that told Santa he was not going to make cookies for him and did NOT want Santa to come to his house, but incase anyone is wondering the gift of choice this year is a ..... Yellow present with a camera inside....and YES Santa is bringing it to him....The little brat*** even saw a picture of Santa holding a yellow present on an advertisement, so being the "Great Mother" I am, I will be sure to pass the info on to Santa to make sure he wraps the present in the proper fashion.
I will try to figure out how to do a slide show and put some Christmas pictures up next week.
Also, if Santa has a hard time finding his way to your house in the bad weather. Rudolph, (Logan's Stocking) is in time out, locked in a cabinet, because he would not stop singing so Logan could watch Frosty. I just hope Logan lets him out before Christmas Eve.....For All Our Sakes...
As always, thanks for reading my Blog....and Merry Christmas to all....
***I can call him a Brat since I made him that way!

Happy Frickin Holidays
Okay so how is this the start of some good holidays....
I went out this morning to get the Christmas stuff out of the shed. I know it is early but Logan is so excited. So as we went out there...I noticed that the boxes were there but SOME ONE HAD TAKEN OUR CHRISTMAS TREE!!!
How shitty is that? I was a prelit tree we just bought last year since it was smaller than the last one we had. But joke is on them...the top of the tree is in the stuff they left behind!!!! This is the most irrating thing that has happened, so far.
So now we have to find a new tree, yeah there is extra money for that....you just don't budget in buying a new FAKE Christmas tree 2 years in a row...and it is only $30 dollars but still!!!
So Logan and I went out looking for a new tree. And he found one, it is about 18 inches high, blue with blue lites that is what he wants. So I am sure that is what we will get for him. Afterall that is what Christmas is all about, is the little ones, being happy. Although it was hard explaining to a 3 year old that a bad person took his Christmas tree.
But if this is the only hard thing we will have to face this holiday season I guess it is a blessing.
Merry Christmas to all!!!!

Football Boys
For those of you who may not know. I am the proud aunt of 10 nieces and nephews. Two of the boys, 17 & 9 are brothers, and both very athletic. They both play football, & run track, the oldest also does power lifting....and both are good in the classroom as well....So here is the deal. They have both played football since flag league,as had their older brother, and I recall running the field with all of them. Well do to distance and LIFE I do not get to attend as many games as I would like.
But this weekend was different, the oldest had a college scout come watch him play, althought his team did not win...he did play good, and that is what matters. I also go a chance to attend the youngest ones game. He has football in his heart...He was more than determined his team would win. Well they did not win either, but he scored the only points for them. The first was an 80 yard touchdown, as he was running the had the ball in his right hand and with his left he was pointing at the goal, a little cocky, then as he crossed the goal line, he did a flip, that was a personal foul for unsportsmanlike conduct...come freaking on, but then he turned right around and ran it back for another 60 yards,he did all the same, except for the fkip. I was in the stands with my sister, screaming & cheering him on....and crying!!! Yea I cried like a baby. As we were getting ready to leave, before the game was over, only because my boy was sick. As we were leaving he got the ball again, and ran it for about 40 yards, got tackled & was down on the field, but he was fine....just had his clock cleaned.
It was nice at the game, their was several family members there, and some of the football buddies of the oldest brother, one of which I have known since he was in the 2nd grade...they graduate this year. Things like this make me feel old.
I am proud of all my neices & nephews, they range from 20's to 6, and each of them have their own things they are good at, so I dont want anyone to think that I am singling out these 2....but I kinda am........

Friends?!?!?!
Webster's Thesaurus for the following word......SO lets look at it!!!!
Entry Word: friendFunction: nounText: 1 a person who has a strong liking for and trust in another friends who like to do everything together and are always sharing secrets> Synonyms buddy, chum, comrade, confidant, crony, familiar, intimate, pal Related Words acquaintance; associate, cohort, colleague, companion, fellow, hearty, hobnobber, mate, partner, peer; brother, sister; accomplice, ally, collaborator, confederate; benefactor, supporter, sympathizer, well-wisher; friendlyNear Antonyms adversary, antagonist, opponent, rival; archenemy, nemesisAntonyms enemy, foe2 a person who actively supports or favors a cause friend to environmental causes> --
What exactly is a friend in your mind? That is a question you should ask yourself quite often......Why is it that people can come in to your like, make a dramatic impact then all of the sudden it is NO BIG DEAL that you ever talk....OR you have the friend you have know for so many years you loose touch, and when you are reunited, by chance or the power of the net, NOTHING has changed...you pick up where you left off so many moons ago....OR I love this one...the friend who is your friend until someone else comes into their or your life then they are gone.....So what is a friend to you? I mean really....how many ways do the phone lines go.....hint hint .....if i can call you....then you know that you can call me. It really gets to me the people who try so hard to PLEASE everyone else.....and do what others think is right????
Ask your self this question.....if you had one friend who you have know for 20 years....and for a long time you were apart....then all of the sudden you could be togehter again and hang out....what would you do??? A: Forget they exisited, B: try for a while then toss it to the wayside, C: try to make the most of it and enjoy being around that person, and not act like it is an effort.......I guess there is not right or wrong answer....but I wonder if the question should be WHAT WOULD YOU WANT DONE TO YOU?!?!?!?!
Does a friend say hi in an email just to do it? Does a friend call and say hey last minute lets meet for dinner? Is a friend there for you??? So many ways to decide who is and who is not a friend......Oh wait here is an other kind... the one who does not have time for you until is it something that will beneift them....those are my favorites.....What about the friend who is your friend then decides that if they can not have you to themselvs 100% and you are happy they want nothing to do with you.....
If you have a FRIEND.....ask yourself are they really your friend...and then YOU need to decide if you are really THEIR friend....is it returned......
It is understandable how life can get in the way....but sometimes.....realize who has been there for all those years. Thanks to myspace.com I have found MANY people I thought I never would find again....but I am DAMN glad I have, some I talk with quite often others it is just a comment...but I am trying to make an effort.....and if you THINK you are my friend I would like the same thing in return......
Like me or leave me.....it is your call.Well if you choose to call. Just think about this and what a FRIEND really is to you.....
As a wise comedian said one time....Life sucks get a Fucking Helmet.....dennis leary......
Oh I am not trying to make is sound like I am feleing sorry for myself. I just like asking questions......
Thanks for reading my blog and visiting my little sapce.....hope you have enjoyed it.

Ho-Hum
This is what I do....it is 3:30 in the morning, and I am up rotating DOGS!!!!!!!!! Yes it sounds crazy, but it is even crazier!
We have had 4 dogs for 2 yrs, they are all big, and they are all iniside. Well for anyone who knows my older sister will know how crazy animal people we are. So we rescued a 5th....he is a Bass-a-dor, Yes a Basset Hound/Labador (Yellow) mix. He is cute and just down right a good dog. Very playful with Logan, and just full of energy, he is a lover, just needs the attention. So the problem you ask? He gets along with 3 of the 4, and unfortunally the one he does not get along with is my baby-boy, we have had Dallas Star since March 2000, and got Shadoe August the same year. Well Shadoe is a Black & Tan Coonhound mix, yes a coon dog, and for those who are not dog savy that translates to "anything smaller and furrier than me has to be removed off the face of the earth". Don't get me worng Shadoe is not an aggressive dog, he is the most lovable 90 lbs lap dog to me and Logan one will ever see, but he is a hunting dog and that is breed in to him. I also found him as a stray so there is no telling what happend to him the 6-8 weeks he was on his own. Someone may have bullied him, thus creating harbored feelings toward others, what if another dog picked on him and made him feel inadequate? What is he was tormented for being an outsider, or being a street dog? I think counsiling is in need........
SO now we have 5 dogs that can not be together. We are trying to place ODIE in a good home, but it is just finding one. I have 2 leads working, so keep your fingers crossed. He and Shadoe rotate their "time out" meaning they take turns in and out of the kennels while one is in then the other is out. I know we are not the smartest people for taking him on, but we could not see him put down. Like I have said he is wonderful with Logan, and that is a big thing. Any doggie who can keep up that boy is a true trooper. I just hope Logan understands what when Odie goes to a new home it is for the best, but I think he will, as long as it is not his Shadoe that is leaving.

My Boy
You know it is funny, even with a blog you are careful what you say so you don't hurt anyone feelings. But I am just going to talk in general. If you feel this applies to you...then let it, if not have a wonderful day!
Why as a mother do you notice EVERYONE thinks they know what is better for your child than you do? He is 3, he has a mind of his own, he knows how to make good choices....I know this because I am with him most of the time, I try to promote him to be honest with his mom & dad. If he says he does not want to do something, I am not going to push him. Why emotionally push your kids away? I am not a perfect parent......but I am perfect for MY son. We have made it this far, and have a really solid relationship. Others just need to realize, I understand you have rasied your kids....but look at them....those are the products of decsions you made early on in their lives, and how they learn to deal with the advirsities and peer pressure they faced throughout their lives......so let me be able to sit back in 20-30 years and look at my kids and be glad I made the decisions I made for him, which AS HIS MOTHER if feel it is for the best interest of MY SON!!!!! For when it comes down to it, I will be the one for the rest of his life to be held accountable for setting the begining stages of the ground work; the rest of his life would be based on. When the days ends, he can pull at your heart strings, and be a little devil. But the bottom line is that, We (mom & DAD) have entensively discussed the rearing of OUR child, and to this point I have yet to make a decision that is not discussed and backed by HIS DADDY!!!!!! And to some peoples surprise.....his dad is informed of more than you know....and will always be involed in ANY decison made about it....and for some reason Daddy usually sees it my way! Even though as a family we keep the schedule we keep, his daddy will ALWAYS be infomred of things that effect his son, good or bad, from him having a good day at school, to be invited to a birthday party, to tacky comments made infront of him that are totally inappropiate.What makes me wonder is why are people so different in front of others, just to be somthing they are not., are you trying to make me look like a bad parent in front of my husband.....if so, but your time and energy in to something you CAN accomplish! For those of you who insist on trying to raise other parents kids, and think you know best.....Clean your own back yard before you try to clean mine!!!! I get many compliments on my son, from his looks to him manners, to his imagination....I am very proud of my boy, and feel I have instilled some good values in him. I have a great D/C he attends while I am work, and they have played a vital role in his growth and development.....and my hat is off to them. For any of you who do not agree with the decisions we have made for our son....come see us in 10 years and lets look where he is at. I will not faulter in front of my boy, nor will I change my disipline or parenting just because others think he hung the moon.
Well I hope I have opened some eyse and not hurt any feelings.

My 1st Blog
MY 1st BLOG!!!!
For those who know me. I am sad. My house guest left today. I miss them so much. They are the best. Keep them in your prayers....God know who they are and what they need. Mainly the strength to get thru the painful emotions she is feeling; that I so wish I could protect her from. I hate to see her hurt.....I hurt when she does. It has been very emotinally draining for me as well, but it is not about me. I just hope she knows that no matter what trails and tribulations face her that I will always be here for them.......She is not mine, but for her and her sister, I feel their pain, and joy! That is just what you do when you have known someone ALL their lives. They are the best anyone could ask for.
