Everyone should have a favorite tree, this happens to be my favorite in the Fall; it is so bright, with huge big leaves. I always take some pictures of the tree and this year decided to throw my kids in the mix! Or is it the other way around… It is very difficult to get my kids to stay focused long enough for some pictures, Sam chose this time to poop in his pants so was hiding from me and Sally was happier behind that camera on my lap, but the other three were angels and let me take as many pictures as I wanted. I think that my kids are so darn cute!! My photo skills could use some improvement, but my kids are perfect.

Twilight!!!

Yes, it is this week!! I am so excited, and I am not sure why. I know that it's going to be a little bit of a let down, I have set myself up for that, even the previews seems to deviate from the book too much and that bugs . I have picked up the book and have been rereading highlights and it has gotten me really looking forward to the movie. In fact, dare I say a little giddy!! Edward as well as Mr. Darcie (Deep sigh) and a long list of romantic heartthrobs make me feel this way, my husband included--gentlemen that women only dream of. I know that if Steve were a Vampire he would resist the urge to suck out all my blood, and if my sister had run off with some guy and was going to ruin my good name he would be that guy to save the day. Is it the feelings of forbidden love, the excitement of new love? You know what I am talking about, we all have felt it numerous times in our lives, it is such a great feeling. So my question is, How do we have that feeling more often? This is my new quest!! This will be fun, Steve will not know what hit him!! Just to be clear, I am not searching for new love or forbidden love, I have already found the love of my life, but sometimes the giddyness gets barried beneath a pile of laundry, so my quest is to find the excitment and get giddy at least once a day, I don't know, does that seem like too much? Am I going to get drunk on giddyness? I don't know, we will soon see!! Okay, back to Twilight, if you are not excited about the movie, pick up that book and get bit again with the Edward bug, and if you have never read the book, beg, borrow or check out from your local library and get reading. You have 4 days!!!

Road Rage

I actually got “Road Raged” at today!! Now, I have to admit this is not the first time this has happen to me, I’m not known for my driving skills and I tend to irritate other drivers on the road, who apparently think they should be in the Nascar. But, this happened going out of our neighborhood and I didn’t gun the car when the light turned green. I got the laying on the horn irritation honk!! No, I did not get the nice two short honks that says “Hey the light has turned green”, I got the full on HONK that says “Move your fanny out of my way”. Apparently the two seconds that I hesitated at the light was making him dreadfully late. Then he followed it up by what I like to call “the speed by irritation glance”. It was wonderful and it gave me such a warm fuzzy feeling that I could feel my middle finger screaming at me “Just do it”!!!! I did refrain, but to my surprise and delight we pulled up next to him three lights down the road so instead of flipping him off and making myself look stupid, I made my kids stick their tongues out at him all during the red light. (I got Him)!!! hee hee hee haa haa haa (evil laugh)

So here is my advice for the week, if you are going to road rage have some common sense, make it actually worth the rage, a two second light, not worth it. It really has to be running you off the road type violation to warrant real rage and don’t make the mistake of raging on someone who lives in your neighborhood. This guy made three mistakes, two second light rage, someone in the neighborhood and I went to school with this guy!!! I have to say, he was an a— in school and apparently still is!!
