View Article  Why men and computers do not mix...
Sometimes I want to smack my husband upside his head with a red hot frying pan.  Over the past ten years I have said SOOOO many time, "You spend too much time of the computer and ignore everything else."

So again last night we had that conversation.  Grrrrrr.....  He then plays the oh, ok, I won't do anything I enjoy routine....  It makes me want to scream.  I am not saying that.  But, when I go to bed most nights and he does not notice cause he is too self involved a stupid game or I start coughing having an allergic reaction maybe 3 feet from hom (like 45 mins goes by) and he does not notice... it hurts my feelings. 

What is it about the stupid games that makes them unable to understand the word moderation?  It makes me feel ignored and taken for granted - I know that isn't really what he means, but it hurts my feeling anyway.  And if it was once in awhile, it probably wouldn't be such a big deal.  Since it is a lot, it is on my last nerve.

Is it the end of the world?  No.  But it is my vent and this is my blog.  So there ya go.  Happy Sunday.
View Article  I am not helpless...
I hate what happened in New Orleans.  A natural disaster can make us feel helpless.  But instead of staying in the helpless, I choose to do something proactive.  I do what I can.  I do not have the ablilty to go down to New Orleans and save people, nor do I have billions of dollars.  But, I do have the ability to go thru what I do have a donata to people I know and to people I do not.  It is not a lot, but it is what I can do.  And I think if everyone did what they could do, then it would help a lot.

It also makes me take stock of how prepared we are for something terrible.  And we are not as stocked and ready as we can and should be.  I can fix that.  It is something I can do.  And although it does not help anyone from New Orleans, I can learn from what is going on there and make sure that my family does not repeat that mistake - lack of prepartation.

Finally, a tragedy should make you take stock of what you have.  Kiss you kids, let the toys and mess sit for a minute cause hey, you have a house and take a moment to be thankful for what you have.
