Winter go away come back some other day!

I am ready for winters end, as many I am sure are, The cold, the snow, the chill in the house and in the air.... it just needs to disappear! The sliding, the crunching of snow beneath my feet, the sniffles, the coughs, the headache slide on by. Let it go already. We need it to end in time they say it will, however I have given it to much time already its not that I do not think it isn't pretty it is indeed. But there comes a time that all must end. Its time for winter to blow on out and bring spring by an by.

Its time for Spring, the flowers and the trees to bloom to come on in and bring warm and birds in the air.
Not much time is left of winter that is what they say, but I say it is time right now. The sun must shine it must sing its lullaby. Let the rays hit me in the face, bring it on I am so ready I promise I will not complain one bit.
Time to dance an splash in the rivers, pools and lakes. Fish if I must that is ok, Swing and play in the rain that will be my joy today.

Why are the cereal companys coming off so cheap, yet their prices are so darn expensive?

    Cereal companies these days are so cheap, however they have no problem raising their prices of their products? I mean really it is no wonder why our kids have no imagination these days, I remember that my mom and dad would let each one of us (3 kids) choose our own box of cereal.  Now we didn't choose the cereal based on what kind it was, we chose our kind by what toy was in the box. The cooler the toy the more we bought, cereal today can not even put a toy in their these days come on...... and they wonder why everyone is now choosing the cheaper kind. Well when you don't have toys involved..... you mise well buy the cheapest.
   My brothers and I always loved to pick out our cereal, mom and dad hated it, as we would take for ever. We would even get in a circle and discuss among the three of us which toy/cereal would be better. Once bought we could not wait till morning, as mom and dads rule was, you can not get the toy out of the box until the box of cereal is all gone. To make sure this happened mom would grab the toy right away and place it upon the frig, we were not allowed to open it or touch until the all the box was gone. Mom knew we only bought the cereal for the toy so that is why we had to wait on the toy. Good idea mom, more then half the cereals we bought we really didn't care for lol.
   But once that cereal was gone oh boy oh boy we could not wait, their was so many to choose from at the store and we each thought we picked the best ones out of the whole mess of them. We used our heads in imagination to play with those toys, including them into our Barbie or GI Joe worlds. Or Tonka Trucks etc:
  Every month we got to choose a new box of cereal, this was our excitement the waiting sometimes was the hardest. But we would watch the commercials about cereal on T.V. and we would be like that is the cereal I am getting next time. It was a lot of fun, and cheap thrills, they were good quality toys to. How could the cereal companies drop the toys, that was their main catch in the kids eyes anyway,
                              
BRING BACK THE TOYS CEREAL COMPANIES!

So here we are ! Sick an all

   Kids sick, I am sick dogs sick, everybody in house is sick but my husband who is actually out and about on the road. Which is fine, just hope the illness doesn't stick around to much longer. Really getting tired of being sick and tired lol.
   So much has happened but to sick to go into detail about it. Looks like all things happen for a reason. Though I can not say this is not a good change, I do not for see it as the best change HA! In any event we get through it one way or another by moving on and praying for the support we all know we have through God and his son.
   Family is coming together this July for a reunion that will be a great thing as we do not live that far away from it again this year. We are very fortunate that we have lived near them for the past few years. So that we can attend them.
   So we went to the movie Tangled and I cried all of maybe 3 times. I am sure I teared up in a few other spots but I know for sure I had full tears, at a couple of the parts, that anyone with a heart would of cried at.  It is a great family movie to watch together and I do plan on buying it when it comes out.
   This Cold and snow needs to be on its way now, Hope mother will break the back of winter soon, and we have wonderful warmer weather nearing sooner then later. I think the whole world is tired of winter this year, and I will be one of the first to sing and dance around when it does finally escape from this season. Stay warm, cuddle with your loved ones, and please remember live like your dying. As you never know...... life is to short, and life is to precious just to waste it away.

February already! and here we are.

     So this last month January has been very hectic for me, I had little time to write in my blog, yet more time then I wished to. I had to get my life back in order, though my life seems fine and ordinary I have to tell you it is not that simple. I to have my problems, and  I have searched and dealt with them.
     Family life is great that was not the problem at all, it was more school stress, and you know all the other daily life struggles we all have to attend to that kept me away from my blog. I had no energy to do the blog, even though I could of wrote many things I just felt that this was my problem personal that had to be dealt with on my own.
    I know I have many friends and family members and fine people out there that read this blog and they tell me it helps to keep in contact and makes them feel closer to me. I appreciate all your letters and comments that I received while I was gone even though it was a short time.
    Now I am back on track and hope to continue on that road. I have been attending church again and that seemed to help me and is helping me a great deal. I pray every night before I sleep, and thank the lord for what I have and will be given. I also thank him for the tests and trails I must got through to grow and learn from. Although I can do with a break right about now, and it seems that I have been given one. For the lord will not give you more then you can handle sometimes it seems to be to much. However know that he is with you during the time you need him to be even when you do not seem to need him so much.
    Thank you to all my family and friends far and near for sticking around and sharing your thoughts and concerns. Sending love your way and praying your all alright.
