Oops

My blog designer has a problem with her photobucket account, so please excuse my mess until it gets fixed!

Bloggy Love

My friend Amy at Keeping Up With The Schultz Family passed on this great blog award to me last week. You have to stop by her blog & see her & her beautiful daughter Alyce!


Now there were no rules on this award so I would really like to pass this on to all of my bloggy friends. I have had a rough time lately, and I can tell you honestly that comments on my blog can make my day.

I never imagined that you could make friends over the internet, but I really have and I appreciate each and every one of you, so take this & post it with pride!

This Is It, Hooky Day

Friday I decided that my youngest son & I needed to spend some time together. I knew they weren't doing much in school that day, so I went and picked him up at 10:00.

From there we went to see the Michael Jackson movie, This Is It. We both left the movie theater feeling sad, but the movie was, IMHO, quite good. It brought things back to him as a performer and let me tell you the moves and the voice were still there. I don't see how he could have possibly been on all the drugs they say he was on and still come across as well as he does on screen.

The his singing and his dancing really take the focus off of his messed up face and showed him as a great performer. In the end we were sad that his life had been cut so short. (In case your wondering, I do not believe he molested children, I think he was a weird, emotionally warped man.)

Anywho, after the movie we went to K-Mart and bought Jack some new pajama pants & his favorite for dinner, Spam! We got some chili dogs for lunch, picked him up a video game from Blockbuster and came home. Now he's on the couch playing his game in his new PJ pants just waiting for his Spam feast later (gag).



In case you can't tell, he didn't want to have his picture taken, lol!

If none of you have never had a hooky day with your kids I highly recommend it. It's great special time that Jack knows I set aside just for him and him alone. My friend Mimi at He & Me + 3 does a weekly "You're Gonna Miss This Post" about things she's going to miss about her kids. Every single week what she posts is something I already miss with my boys both being teenagers, so I'm taking as much time as I can to be with them now, before their completely gone!

Please Help

*My Musical Monday post is beneath this one, but I wanted as many people as possible to see this.

Your mission is to send a Christmas Card to Noah Biorkman in Michigan. He is a 5yr old boy who is in his last stages of neuroblastoma cancer after a 2 1/2 year battle. He is celebrating Christmas next week and all he wants are Christmas cards. Can you pop one in the mail to him?

Noah Biorkman C/O Scott Biorkman 3480 Petoskey Way, Milford, MI, 48380.

By the way, snopes has checked and this is not one of those email scams, it is true.

There is more of Noah and a picture of him in the Detroit news:

Thank you!

Musical Monday



This week's theme for Musical Monday is best & worst of the 80's.
For the worst I have to pick Get Out Of My Dreams, Get Into My Car, by Billy Ocean. Just terrible.
For the best is one that I'm sure I shared here before, but it is one of my favorite songs of all time, not just the 80's. The Cure, Just Like Heaven. Best. Song. Ever.
To play along go visit Diane or Jori.

Breaking News

A couple of days ago I opened my e-mail to find an US Weekly magazine update. (I've tried to unsubscribe, but no luck.)

This was the day after the horrendous Ft. Hood shootings and during the Orlando office shootings. Here is their headline and picture:

EXCLUSIVE: See Jon Gosselin Do Yoga!





Am I being punked? They sent out a mass e-mail so people could see this pasty, pudgy, loser, skeez bag do yoga??



*sigh* I have no words.
