My Faith and I Believe!!

I watched the most beautiful moment tonight that I haven't seen in along time. It made me realize how much faith I have within my heart. It also reminded me of the miracles I have seen in my life. The gifts I have been given by God. It makes you humble. My life is blessed and I wouldn't have believed it until I saw the sweet bundle of joy when my daughter was born. She was my blessing from God and ever since then I cherish the moment when I started my path to become closer in my faith in God and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The power of prayer is amazing. I've been in the dark and it's not a good place to be in. It's struggle, it's pain, it's despair and it's torture. It hurts like crazy and I know because I've lived a difficult time for years and it still makes me sad to think about those times. I also know the light. I also know how it feels too truly be loved. It makes me want to be a better person inside and out.

After my son was born the struggle with my health was difficult. You ask yourself "why me?" I asked and after years of waiting for Doctor's to give me the answers I prayed and decided to do something for myself. I couldn't live the way I was living so I did something about it. I made a choice for me to get off of prescription drugs. It's been a few months of helping myself for a better life because I prayed on it and I'm not 100% better but my outlook in life is 150% because I'm feeling like my old self again. I prayed and listened for the answer. I heard loud and clear of it's message. I truly believe!!

I'm not ashamed to say I believe in God. I'm not going to hide my faith because it's not Popular at the moment. I trust in something far greater than myself and I'm just one person who has been touched in miraculous ways because I'm a follower of Jesus Christ!!Take care, Peace!!

Beautiful People!!

I have some extra time today. The daughter is playing her Wii Fit and the son is taking his nap. My, when I'm on my music kick I can't stop myself.

Certain music makes me thinking about attractions of the opposite sex. I don't think that's any thing to be worried about. I was having a conversion recently with a friend and I don't think being a married women there is anything wrong with having attraction to the opposite sex when you're in a committed relationship.  I enjoy looking at good looking people.



I love feeling sexy.  I may not pull it off at times because I'm one big goof but I try and that's the important part I think. I told my hubby I may need hair extensions because I have a bob do right now. He likes long hair on me. I had long hair when we met but I chopped it off shortly there after. I grew it out after my daughter was born but then I got sick and sadly had to chop my hair all off. I feel more sexy with long hair. That's just me.

I got a few attractions to men right now.  I guess the major one right now is Joe Flanigan. I also like Ben Affleck. He was so hot in Armageddon. I have to thank my hubby on that one. Ben wouldn't have been on my radar if it wasn't for that movie. Over the years I kinda had a preference of whom I was attracted too and my hubby is the opposite to that. He's sandy brown hair and hazel eyes. I liked tall dark haired guys. Eye color didn't matter to me yet they had to have nice eyes. I knew this guy when I was younger and I thought he was so hot until he took off his sunglasses and the attraction went right out the door.

I even had attractions towards women too. Big shocker!! Not really. I can admit liking beautiful women. Jessica Alba for one. I just think she's hot. I think someone hijacked my music player. Music I downloaded isn't the same right now then when I picked them. Man, that sucks. I have to go fix that. Okay, back to feeling flirtatious. My hubby thinks there isn't any hope for me. :) I blame him really. I didn't know who Joe Flanigan was until Stargate Atlantis. Thanks to my hubby for introducing me to SyFy. It's all his fault!!

He knows I choose him. We're best friends and we know we're important to each other. When my hubby and I first met we used to flirt all the time. Those were good time or more like we still do it. Memories!! My hubby is a sexy babe like all the other guys I'm attracted too. The list goes on and on!! Why I'm going to post this blog entry is beyond me. I must have gone mad!! Take care, Peace!!

Getting back into Music!!

I just love You Tube. I can find music and my all time favorites on there. I love Chicago. I have their greatest hits. I used to listen to this group over and over again.  I found the video of one of my favorites from them.



I have no sappy sad story behind this song. I just love this song. I could make up a story about this song but nothing. I enjoy great music. I didn't care they were a bunch of old guys. I just like their music. Like I got my son into Journey. He loves their music. I can put on Journey and he gets full of smiles and my daughter likes grooving to Abba. I'm feeling like today is going to be a great music day. I'm pulling out all the old tunes of my youth. Here's my all time favorite Whitney Houston song!!



So many nights listening to this song and my gosh, I used to sing this song like crazy. It never gets old. I used to sing this song for my son when he was a little baby. It used to calm him down before bed time.  The Bodyguard was a great movie and Kevin Costner was sexy in this movie. I can't believe I just said that. No one needs to know I found Kevin Costner sexy. I kinda think men in Uniform are just sexy. That's how I roll :)

Oh my, look what song I just found. BRIAN ADAMS. Lets not mention he forgot the words to the "Oh Canada" during the World Series years ago. We may forgive but never forget. It was quite embarrassing. Okay, I just love this song and I even like DJ Sammy's version of it too. Here's Heaven!!



Okay, Yes I also loved the BackStreet Boys. Kevin was my favorite out of them all. Oh Kevin, and no I don't have a thing for guys named Kevin. Ha Ha!! I bet you would guess I loved the New Kids on the Block. What 14 year old girl didn't love the NKOTB? I bought my first cassette tape in Montreal Canada and months later I had to buy another because I played it so much it wore out. Yes, I said cassette tape!! We didn't have the fancy CD's we have now back in the late 80's. Okay, here's one of my favorite Backstreet Boy's songs. I have a few I enjoy.



Okay, two more songs. Here's a blast from my past. Reminds me of Puppy Love. Oh those were the days of crazy days and nights. I had to choose between these two Belinda Carlisle songs "Mad about you" and "I get Weak". They both are great but I choose Mad about you!!



STARSHIP: I loved this group. Man, I didn't realize how much I have aged myself. Oh who cares, great music is great music. So much cool music to pick from but I have to stop sometime. Maybe I'll do another music blog and post my all time favorites. Oh my, I'm all giddy!! Music is inbreed in my soul. Here's Starship:



I feel at peace today. I enjoy sharing the music I love. Makes me remember what's important in life. Take care, Peace!!

Killer Allergies!!

Oh for the love all things holy, my eyes are on fire!! I noticed last night after Army Wives my eyes were swollen and they were kinda itchy and I thought because I was crying some of my makeup got into them. I went to bed with my eye drops and then this morning...oh my!!

My eyes hurt like crazy and they itch like mad and I thought I was going to poke my eyes out so they wouldn't hurt anymore. It's crazy and then I'm carry for a little boy who's sick with a mild fever. It's been a rough day. I want to cry but I don't think my eyes could handle crying right now. I'm sure they would start burning and catch on fire. I don't want that right now.

We think the boy caught a bug from my daughter's friend birthday party last Thursday. The day in the life of me of never ending allergies and little running noses. Some relief would help!! Take care, Peace!!

PS: Yesterday's airshow rocked!! I'm half blind so I kept taking pictures of birds thinking they were airplanes. Don't ask!! F 18's rule. Flew right over our heads yesterday. That was so awesome!!

It's the airshow!!

I'm typically an easy go lucky gal until I stress myself out so much by fear it's nice when I can have an easy day hanging out with my family. It's the time of year for our Airshow. We just love it and this year we kinda went. When the kids get older we'll take them to the paid airshow. We went to my hubby's work and watched from there like we do every year. It was a long day but we had a great time.

I'm so giddy. My hubby bought some walkies-talkies awhile back and we brought them today. Near the end of the day I was saying wouldn't it be cool if we could hear the pilot's talking with their maneuvers. My hubby said most likely not and they most likely will be on some private frequency. Well sure enough we're sitting their and our walkies-talkies started making nose and we could hear people talking. We realized they were the pilot's. I'm still smiling about it. Ask and you shall receive!!!

I'll try taking pictures tomorrow and if they come out okay I'll post one. I can't believe it. It was the best to end the day. We're going again tomorrow. The kids enjoy it and we have the best view. The Patriot Jet Team rocked!! Take care, Peace!!

All things come to an end!!

Summer Break is slowly coming to an end. I'm kinda feeling a little emotional about it. A new chapter for my family. My 5 year old is starting her school career in Kindergarten after Labor Day. We just signed her up for Gymnastics for the year and my son starts his new class in a few weeks for his Early Intervention program.

Right now, we're being lazy and not doing much just living our lives without the chaos. It's actually nice not being so busy running around with tight schedules and all. I finished school shopping for the daughter. She's all set to go so now we're just enjoying the free time we have left.

We didn't take a vacation this year like I wanted. At first, I was kinda a sad about it but being responsible is the way to go. We want what's best for our family so we can give our kids a good life and have money to let them do things without going further into debt.

It's good to slow down and just be lazy and make memories!! Take care, Peace!!

The Love of all things Good!!

I had a wonderful relationship with Diet Pepsi. I gave up the drink about a Month now. I miss it and it made me sad to say goodbye to a drink I loved. Diet Pepsi to me was like Coffee to others. Every morning I was happy to grab a can to start my day. It was a great relationship but with any relationship I had to say goodbye.

Yesterday I bought some and I almost cried. I love the taste. The hardest to give up because I loved the taste so much. This was like my last farewell to a great drink I love so dearly. My hubby thinks I'm nuts I would almost cry over a drink but you know what? As a diabetic you don't have much options for beverages and there is always water but water can get boring at times.

I gave up Diet Pepsi for the reason my family is slowly going Organic. We're giving up Aspartame and as many chemicals as we can. We're trying to eat more healthier. It's a choice we made as a family...okay, the choice my hubby and I made for our family. Our young kids don't have a choice of what they are given so as a parent we want them to eat and drink things that have the most healthiest options available.

It's still sad to me to let it go. Diet Pepsi was my drink of choice. I'm not a coffee drinker and now I'm onto Diet Rockstars and in a week I'll be saying goodbye to it too. It's a lifestyle change I'm not really fighting against because I know it needed to be done. Take care, Peace!!

When life leads you down another road!!

I realized I haven't wrote anything in a while.  Silly me. Things have gotten too stressful for me in the last while. I've calmed myself down and I'm thinking rationally again. Wow, last week was just "a not wanting to talk to anybody week" and it's not that I was having an emotional week but I was feed up with our Government. I let things like that bother me. I'm just sad the USA is going down this road. I just wish something good will happen. I'm tired of all this race baiting and people blaming other people for there own responsibilities. It gets old!!

I'm over it now and the other night I was having a hard night sleeping and waking up with anxiety. It wasn't a good night and it came to me about co-existing. Why was I thinking of that? What does that mean? I don't know until I realized now that I can live, my family can live in a world like ours and have a united front of a happy life even though everything around us is chaotic.

Sure it's a form of survival. It's finding the root of your happiness in your own heart then infringing on another persons happiness. The more I'm learning being a follower of Christ my view points have changed a lot on many aspects of life. I think I'm more open to acceptance then I was like a year ago. The whole marriage for the gay community. I come to realize I was wrong. My views on the whole matter was wrong and I realize I was wrong and I'm sorry. I shouldn't judge people's lifestyle. I admit I was wrong and I apologize to anyone I have hurt. My God is Loving and it's not in my faith or heart to be so against something when God is teaching me to love all persons and it's not my place to make judgement on something I have no idea about. I'm not gay so I don't know what it's like to feel like you're not accepted. I'm sorry.

I'm going to focus my energy on happiness within my heart. I surely will benefit from it and anyone else I come into contact with. I will be an example to my children that happiness comes within not from the world. Take care, Peace!!

Paving the way!!

Welcome to August!! I've been on a spiritual quest understanding life and I'm learning ways to make it better. I know I live in fear at times. I'm trying not to do that anymore. I'm not going to be afraid of this Government which they are slowly pushing it's citizens in chains. I'm not going to worry about it anymore because in the grand scheme of things I'm just one person. I can make a difference by showing by example. I want to be a good person by showing respect and love to my family and anyone who I'm blessed to meet.

You know with everything going on in this Country with people being divided I know what's in my heart and I know I'm no racist. I know I'm trying to do the best I can to understand. I'm trying to be a good example to my children.

Like I keep telling my daughter she can get better at playing her Wii Fit by practicing and over time she will get better. She gets frustrated at times because she wants to be perfect right away and I let her know by working hard she will get good. I'm proud of her and she works to her ability and she works at her game. She's getting good at some of those games on there...better than me at some.  I also tell her to enjoy what's she's doing and just have fun.

I want to bring out the best in my children yet at the same time I want them to know humility. It's okay to stand up for what you believe in and doing so to be respectful. Violence isn't the answer to getting what you want or bullying to make someone else to feel bad because you feel bad.

I feel blessed I'm on this journey and wanting my family to feel we can make life work under any circumstances as long as we believe we're good hearted people. Anything is possible as long as you work hard and put your mind to it. Take care, Peace!!
