Just a passing fad.....

I am amazed at the fact that so many of us parents encourage, endorse and support the fads of today. Weather it be webkinz, peek-a-poohs, brand name wheeled shoes, or organized rec. programs....

I know that being brought up a generation ago we were poor and I knew it. Okay we were poorer than that, wrong side of the tracks, tailer trash..you get the picture. So today, I want to give my children everything;
I struggle to let them earn IT
I detest the wining tactic they use to speed up the process to obtaine IT
I hate when they do not appreciate IT
drives me crazy two days later forget-neglect-loose or break IT
& to top it all off they ask for the next IT! .... I am the maker of my own crazy cycle and I must like the ride or I would have got off by know! Then I am brought back to the cabbage patch kid craze of my youth.... Oh the days! I remember that my parent were somewhat accomidating .... to a reasonable extent, "if it don't take the beer money than okay, she can have it." lol! I was loved!

Still figuring things out.....

I thought by year 8 I would have a handle on things in the married life department, but whoaaa, I do not!... Rick is still a huge mystery to me..... God love him ... Point of the story is
~DON'T START SMOKIN' , IT WILL KILL YOU....OR YOUR WIFE WILL!!!!!!!~

Twice in one day you would think that I have nothing better to be doing....

Big daddy comes home from Kemano tomorrow. That means that I have a whole house to clean, plus I have to get gussied up so he know that I have missed him.......which is true, I have missed him... some of the time. It is the hardest thing as well as the easiest thing having Rick home for a week and then gone for a week. The best of both worlds.

Coffee'd with Kim this am (surprise)and we both started a blog, again thanxs to sista love. I am quite surprised at how stupid proof some of this stuff is. atta-boy computer people. I figure if I can figure my way around this anyone can. I am wanting to get the pics to go with it next so with mothers day just around the corner, HINT! HINT! Rick that is your cue... digital camera....go buy my own I know. While at coffee with Kim & sista Love we were talking about independance vs interdependance. And how we refuse to ask for help in order to maintain the apperace of strength or image. I am right in there not asking for help, doing it all by myself, so that I am maintaining the apperance that all is "fine"! I need help....

wow!!!!! I am bloggin' ! Thank goodness for sista Love or I would be stuck in the dark ages. I am movin' on up into the fast lane with this whole bloggin' thing.

Where to start.....A funny Rick story.....lol....
Only my hubby would witness a moose suicide.....Yes, a moose suicide!....Yesterday out in Kemano he was coming around a bend in the road and startled a bull moose! Surprised, the moose turned for a quick getaway....it ran right off the edge of the bridge..... that just happened to be over a set of mountain waterfalls.....That is where the moose plunged to its untimely death. So now how do I ask "How was your day dear?" anything after yesterdayjust sounds ordinary.
Only in Morettiville!
