I forgot to tell everyone Happy Memorial Day. I was so busy this past weekend, that I was barely even home. We were on the go from morning to night all three days. By the time we were done, we were all exhausted and it took this long to recuperate. I hope everyone had as great a weekend as we did.
Iron Man
The kids are driving me crazy to go see the new Iron Man 3 movie. I can’t say that I blame them, because I would like to see it too. I am just not sure I want to brave the crowds tonight. I really prefer matinee’s, when the crowds are much less and the seating is better. Fighting for seats that are together is not my idea of a good time and my kids sit with me no matter what. I will have to see about going tomorrow. If I buy the tickets online tonight, then the kids will probably leave me alone about it. lol
Memory lane
This song really makes you remember the “good ole days” of your youth growing up in a small town. I have so many memories that flash by whenever I hear this song and even more when I watch the video. I thought I would share with all, so that you can take a trip down memory lane as well. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.
Better late then never
I just wanted to say a late Happy Mothers Day to all of the mom’s out there. I had a wonderful day with my kids and was very busy. They made me breakfast in bed and then we left the house to spend time at the park having fun. It was a beautiful day, with a lovely breeze and we had a great time.
Drug abuse
I recently read about a child roughly the age of my son who died of a drug overdose. I was appalled by this as the child lived in the next town over from us. We didn’t know him, but it brought home the necessity of talking to my children about saying NO to drugs again. I know that the D.A.R.E program in school helps some, but parents need to be proactive in defending their children from the drug pushers.
In addition to the child I mentioned, there is one distant family member of ours that has had an addiction for a long time. We don’t see her very often and that is probably a good thing. I don’t want my children to think that drugs are harmless, because someone they know does them. They need to know that not only can drugs kill you, but they can ruin and chance you have at a decent life. I think I will have them write down questions they have about drugs and then answer them as we go. That might be a good way to help keep them safe. An honest question, deserves an honest answer and they know it.
