When it rains
It pours here
No seriously, poor Spencer is sick now.
But he got a shot in the butt of antibiotics, and he will get better!
He cracks me up though. He is all pitiful and whiney at home, and in the van to the DR, but we get there and he turns into Mr Happy go lucky, there isn't a thing wrong with me kid!
Trying to make me look like a liar!!!
Aren't kids just SOOOOO good at that?
I mean, when you tell your mom "Oh, he won't eat that"
and they do, three helpings of it.
Or you say to someone "You should hear how well she talks!"
And your precious little child just stares at you like you're crazy, and babbles incoherrently for ten minutes.
Or when you say "My son would NEVER run around with no clothes on outside"
Only to look up and see someone doing the no pants dance out your window.
Can you say, Been there, done that?
I would love to have someone else confirm this. I can't be the only one!!!!

Thought for the day
I had all these thoughts for today, I even just wrote one down, and screwed it up and hit the wrong button, so now, it's just gone.
But that's ok. I love my kids, I love my husband, I love my job as their mama and care giver. I love the rest of my family! I love my church, my pastor and his family, and our church family. I love God, and all the amazing things I have seen him do. I love the school I volunteer at and all the wonderful kids there.
And I love my bed. It's calling me I believe!!

So Nine years ago tonight
A little peanut, 5 weeks and 2 days early no less, was sleeping in my arms, after his first bath and such. He went back to the NICU not long after that where he stayed for a while, but that first night, he was all ours.
I can't believe it's been nine years. You are my little buddy getting all grown up. My mom said tonight "Just think in nine MORE years you'll be 18"
I almost cried (and refrained from telling her to shut up, I wanted to though!!)
Happy Happy Birthday Timothy Yeager! I love you so much! I can't believe I am lucky enough to be your mama!!

I want to be on The Big Bang Theory
I can't explain it, I love this show.
I do not watch much TV. There are a few things that I watch, that aren't PBS, Disney Channel, or others for the kids.
I admit I am my age with an 80 year old woman stuck inside me, cause I LOVE LOVE
Murder, She Wrote
There are very few shows in the past 16 years that I have watched with regularity and anticipation. I quit watching TV shows, mostly cause I would get all wrapped up in one, and then they would cancel it
Off the top of my head, these are the only ones that I have followed regularly, and have NOT been cancelled on me
Crossing Jordan
Mystery Incorporated (Scooby Doo)
'Aloo 'Aloo
Mystery Science Theater 3000
There are lots of shows (and lots and lots) I have started out watching, and just stopped. I'm not so sure why, but I have.
ANYWAY I digress
I want a part on The Big Bang Theory
I really do. I don't care if I have to have Sheldon tell me off, I WANT TO BE ON THERE!!
The writing, the characters, the whole thing makes me laugh out loud at least once an episode, if not ten to twelve times. I mean it.
One night, when Sheldon Cooper was talking about building his own cat scanner, and putting his sister's gerbil in it, and after being able to see inside it for a few seconds before it burst into flames, he made this statement.
"around our house, we started to say You Didn't Have a Snowball's Chance in a Catscanner"
Honestly, I laughed so loud, I woke up the Spencer. I just couldn't STOP!
I didn't start out watching that show when it first came on, but I plan on getting all the Seasons and watching it from the beginning.
So here are to many many more utterings of "Bazinga"
PS I want a Bazinga T-shirt for my birthday!!

I love movies
I am a huge movie fan. I will watch pretty much anything once. But not scary movies, like "jump out and get ya" ones. Psychological, yes. All guts, and no common sense (AKA "Let's run with our high heals on to get away from the killer") kind, no.
We were watching a movie tonight, that so many people just bash, and it's one that I really like.
The 5th Element.
I know, I'm weird, but I really do like that movie. I can't even explain why.
Then I got to thinking about some of my favorite movies. I will be the first to admit, I watch movies over and over and over. I can't tell you how many times I have watched the original Star Wars Trilogy (I've worn out one VHS of episode IV) I have lots of friends that can't watch a movie more than once. Which I totally get. But I digress...
I decided to post a list of my top 20 favorite movies in the EVER part of movies. So as far back as movies go, til, oh, six seconds ago, is what I will choose from.
I would love to hear about anyone else's favorites. And I will be the first to admit, my choices are a little, um, well, random.
1. Dead Poet's Society (and I can only watch it about once a year)
2. The Nightmare Before Christmas
3. Nobody's Fool with Paul Newman
4. Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas
5. The Mummy series
6. Fan Boys
7. Star Wars (any)
8. Indiana Jones (any)
9. The Goonies
10. Clue
11. Rocky Horror Picture Show
12. Hudson Hawk
13. The Wizard of Oz
14. Some Kind of Wonderful
15. Father Goose
16. The Muppets (any)
17. Fried Green Tomatoes
18. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
19. Groundhog Day
20. The Pirates of the Caribbean (any)
Like I said, it's pretty far out there.
Actually, I could easily go to 100, and more. I have learned so many things from movies
"Oh captain, my Captain"
"The Secret's in the Sauce"
"Don't Drive angry"
"We are the knights who say .... NI"
"I hope it's not a deposit bottle"
"would you like to swing on a Star?"
And Finally one I really treasure
"There's no place like home"

A Promise is a Promise
AND I am back! Just FYI, I'm going a little God on ya. Not too much, but something that I was thinking about today. Hang in there, it won't hurt ya, promise!
I was thinking today about God. No, not the religion of God, or the Church of God, or anything like that. Just God in general. You know, the head honcho and all that.
Something our pastor said last week made me think about how people who are in more "mainstream" or "cultural" Christianity, will always talk about not knowing theology.
Well, wait. Let me back up.
Our pastor said
"Everyone is a theologist. Even an atheist is a theologist. They have a belief that there is no god. The question really is, are you a good theologist or a bad theologist"
Which made me think of the part in the Wizard of Oz, when Glinda asks Dorothy
"Are you a Good Witch or a Bad Witch"
And Dorothy answers
"Neither. I'm not a witch at all"
I know, it's random, but think about it.
He said a lot of more mainstream christian speakers when backed into a corner on their Theology will say "Well, I'm not a theologist"
So I did some research, and I found that to be very accurate. They seem to say whatever people want to hear, but when asked to back it up biblically will say they aren't a theologist.
So, I pondered it and it makes me realize that these people are Dorothy.
Now I am not bashing anyone in particular, nor am I saying that this is 100% accurate, but to ME, and what I've read, it really rings true.
So many people who are "religious" per se, are Dorothy.
They don't identify themselves with being theologists, they identify themselves as religious, and therefore, are not theologists.
Which goes completely against not only God and his word, but against the very deifinition of the word.
From the Miriam Webster dictionary:
Definition of THEOLOGY
1
: the study of religious faith, practice, and experience; especially : the study of God and of God's relation to the world.
Isn't this what religion is? Isn't studying God what we should be doing? I mean, and I will readily admit this, I need to read more religious works, not just the bible, but related works. I think that it is important to gain this insight to understand what and who God really is. Not just to go to church every week and to occupy a space, but to find out what is going on and why it is going on, and how I can be a part of the solution, and not a part of the problem.
See where I am going with this?
I don't want to be Dorothy. (now don't get me wrong, for years and years, I have dreamed of singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow to sold out crowds) Dorothy sits on the fence, trying to not identify herself either way. I want to be the "Good Witch" in the Equation (Although, if you ask my High school principal, I was a "Bad Witch" in the real sense of a witch, but I digress) I want to be part of the group is working on figuring things out, trying to do some good, and make a difference, with the guidance of God, by knowing more about him, and what is important to him, rather than either standing still, or moving backwards.
So here's to being a good witch.
