HAPPY EARTH DAY EVERYONE!


OK OK...SO I HAD A LITTLE TIME ON MY HANDS TODAY WHILE WATCHING THE GIRLS PLAY OUTSIDE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL WEATHER...ON THIS MOST AWESOME PLANET EARTH.

Yes this was taken in my front yard (notice perfect grass) with some of Sydnee's alphabet cookies. And yes...I let her eat them after picture was taken...don't want to be wasteful or anything...especially today! Go and be good to MAMA EARTH!

darn it you FB!!


its pouring rain today and this causes me to want to just stay home put the fire on (just to look at cuz its almost 70 degrees outside) and just ponder, wonder, dream on what if's and sometime just pray and be thankful.
I decided to come back to my blog today because I've spent the last several months hanging out on FB and now I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. I have been so thrilled to be able to reconnect with those friends whom I crossed paths with so far in my life. Some "friends" I only know because they know someone I know. Or some "friends" I've never really got to know because of time. Or I never got to know them because....well, just because. That's a whole other post. A lot of "friends" I am so happy to have been able to reconnect with because they have really been a big part of my life so far. I've had a lot of memories just rush back into my head like they just happened yesterday. As we all know we all like to see how people from our past are doing...where they live?, who they married?, did they marry?, do they have kids? etc. Some "friends" I got on FB are my current peeps popping in and out of my life on a daily basis. Its nice to be able to see with just a touch of a button how all my peeps are doin'...look at pictures, or find out what's going on with them and where and when stuff is happenin'.
I decided I need to try & take a BIG break from my facebook page...so here I am back at the ol'blog page. A friend of mine asked me why the hell do "YOU" have a blog and what for...at first I was like..,well,... "why not?". I mean...does having a blog, or spending time on FB make me look desperate/bored/needy? So I'm sitting here as I type and I'm thinking about what it exactly is that causes me to want to spend this time with ol'computer reading blogs or on FB or updating my status/blog. I'm thinking... there is a hell of a lot of reasons!! I have so many thoughts spinning through my head at the momment,... I don't even know where to start. First and foremost...I think I just love to share my joy and love I have for my family and children. Second,...I think I love the fact that "its a small world after all" and we are all livin life one day at a time and seeing what others struggle through, rejoice in etc. help us understand our own thoughts, feelings etc. in general. Third,...I think why the hell not! Being able to rekindle an ol' flame, renew a long lost friendship, or just talk with someone from your past that brings back great memories,(that makes you feel young, vibrant and alive again) should not be a "bad" thing right??? I also think its the ability to express your thoughts, feelings, converse, praise, pray for, flirt, or whatever the hell ya want to do, whenever through this awesome technology with new and old friends is not a bad thing either....

So as I get back to..HA! trying to type on my blog at least once a week again...(we'll see how that goes)...I still must say...I just don't feel the "LOVE" right now. I see that a lot of people are viewing this blog but who knows if anyone "takes" anything away from it. Ya know what I just say "whatev..." at this point. I put things on this blog that I want to share, I also seem to vent it out here as well. So I guess as long as doing this is not causing the end of the world then...well I'll keep on posting. And yeah I'll probably still get on FB once in awhile...I just have to really really set some boundries...

I recently spoke with someone from my past that has just brought back so many memories, floods and floods of memories of who I used to be, what I was like years ago,...and this person always says...well "I'll see ya on FB" or "I'll catch up with ya on FB".
It kind of sucks cuz I want to get to know people and talk with them in person now and then, get to know who they are NOW and I want them to get to know me and who I am NOW! Why are we all so scared to visit with ol' friends, have reunions etc.? Why are we so scared to see people..in person...face to face conversation. Oh my gosh what a concept!! But for now..its "I'll see you on FB"...wow. Its hard for me to experiece life through a computer...but yep...that's what we all do now...yep...I'll keep on reading blogs, checking emails, checkin on things on FB and posting crap on my blog...why they hell not??!!
Again,...today was a good day to do so beause its raining out and I've lit the fire for something neat to look at...I say BRING the RAIN ....its helps the flowers in my life grow. (ha! good one Cami...) Plus I love the song Bring the Rain by MercyMe (check out my playlist for that one..)
*note the title of my blog...he-he...get it...rain helps flowers grow...honest... was not planned. But this wraps up this post in a neat little box with a bow on top. Kind of like a post present from me!
Goodness...its 2 minutes till two little flowers in my life are out of school. Got to go be mommmy now. So see ya on FB...or on my crazy blog....

(plan to post my fireplace picture soon too.---wow this is gonna be a really special & good post!)ya must know by now I'm very sarcastic...
