Hey Everyone please click and read the comment left by a nice fellow overseas from my last post about Darfur. It gives a good link for rallies in the States for Darfur.
Today was a really nice day. The temperature was perfect with just the right breeze. It was weather wise the perfect day I'd have to say. Took my daughter to the park and invited Auntie Sunshine and Cousin Smiles to come along (ha ha you know who you are). They did and we chatted while the wee little ones played.
Then I went to my mommies house and dropped off my daughter and doggy and went to pick my son up from school. Since we were by ourselves we had a little mama son time and went to A&W and went in and had a sit down lunner (lunch/dinner). It was nice. He was a hungry boy and ate a lot. I had my self a diet root beer float and some cheese curds...makes me laugh when I say it. They were good though.
Then headed back out to my mommies where I hung out for a bit, then later we had Bible Study and then..........oh yes........talked Grandma into having both the chillins stay the night since my hubby will be down that way early tomorrow and can pick them up. And she agreed.
So I came home late. Which allowed my hubby to get lots of studying in. He hit the hay already because he's a tired dood. And this is wonderful I tell ya....I get to sleep in. Oh yes!! Ha ha...and then when I get up and around I get to go out on a girls day. My SIL is watching my kiddo's tomorrow BLESS HER HEART!! And it was HER idea. Which was so awesome because I was going to have to find a sitter for the kids tomorrow anyway since me and hubby are busy and mostly he has to study. So that is very generous of her.
Speaking of studying....please pray if you will for my hubby and his test on Monday. That would be very nice and I know he would appreciate it soo much.
Well in other news...my mom and dad both recently started suffering from bouts of dizziness and the docs said it has to do with their inner ear...and as I'm typing this the rooms is spinning...no kidding. It feels kind of cool but I'm thinking they got weird fumes at their house or we all have bad ears?
I'm outta here Auf Wiedersehen!!

Raising Awareness for Darfur
Please go so www.savedarfur.org Sign the petition/card that will be sent to President Bush.
As I sit warm and toasty in my bed, men, women, and children are dying bye the minute. If it's not murder it's disease and famine as a result of the atrocities. I can't for one moment imagine the fear the women and moms are going through. Knowing at any moment yourself or your babies will be raped or murdered.
I will leave it at that because the website is a much better source of information.
Tonight as I opened my email I got a request from one of my friends to sign a petition for Darfur. I at that moment had no idea what was going on in Darfur. I thought "oh i'll have to do that soon." Closed out my email and started to watch TV. On my favorite show ER tonight I knew one of the characters was going to help a colleage over in Africa...then as the show progressed I heard the name of the country...Darfur. I thought hmm I'm really going to look this up. So as the show was on I went to the site and signed the petition and began to read. I was reminded of the movie "Hotel Rwanda" that my husband and I watch last summer. I remembered how moved we were. I remember how we couldn't believe such horrible events went on in our world and we never knew it. We both never wanted to stand by and let something like that happen again. We're just two people but here's a site telling us what we can do as individuals. So thanks to my friend kandjmom and even the show ER I'm ignorant no longer. As Christians we can also pray. We can give money and we can contact elected officials.
There's always a million things our government can and needs to do...we're always getting involved in other countries business and some don't neccisarily agree with it all the time...but this is genocide...think Holocaust, think Rwanda...innocent civilians being murdered, raper, tortured, and driven from their homes. The whole world needs to be involved not just the U.S.
Anyways just felt the need to do something so I'm putting it on my blog--among other things.
In other news...my daughter got her finger slammed in the trunk door today. She's okay but it did tear some skin and bled. She screamed and cried pretty hard but then got over it really quick. My husband doctored her up and she was out the door catching bubbles that her brother was blowing.
Well got to go to bed. TGIF tomorrow!!!! Girls day Saturday...fun. And two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame bun...

The baby egg that never was...
We have birds building nests on our RV so today Hubby took a nest down and their was a baby egg in it. I was so sad. So it was on the picnic table and the kids noticed it...they thought it was cool. They would hold the nest and try and follow birds yelling "here's your baby egg." So cute yet so sad. We didn't tell them that the baby egg will never come to be now. They asked after dinner, "can we go see if it is hatched now?" So we let them out side. A few moments later my daughter screams. Yep, she broke it. She was bawling and my boy was about to. The baby egg is gone now. :( They were over it though in about 2 minutes...but I'm still a little sad.
Until next time.
Until next time.

It was a nice idea in theory....
My son had a little program at school tonight. It was cute. He found me and sis in the audience and waved. So sweet. He sang and did all the motions. OH and then.
So being the nice mama that I am I thought we'd go to Mickey D's and get an ice cream cone. So we do. Now I'm holding on to two cones and the steering wheel trying to maneuver the corner out of the drive through. Not a good idea. Almost through the corner one of the cones top swirley plops onto the middle console right onto the 4 wheel drive shifter. As I pass a car parked by the drive though ( a witness ) I laugh like I find it funny...I didn't...but had to be in control in one way or the other. Soooo. I find a safe spot to park, grab some of the fallen icecream with my bare hand and plop it back on the cone and give it to sissy. She was satisfied. I then wipe what ice cream i can off with a napkin and take off (have to find a better spot to park) so then get down the road, ice cream on steering wheel, melting ice cream starting to drip down in between the seat and console. I pull over and get almost angry...I get my son his cookie and start cleaning up the mess. I do a pretty good job actually using only dry McDonald's napkins. I then drive home with a sticky steering wheel. Shortly into the rest of the ride home I begin to laugh at what that had to have looked like to the witness...I laugh now thinking about it...my face at the time was like "whoa.. whoa" not actually believing it would plop...then it did and I was perturbed over the wasted ice cream...mortified someone saw...embarrassed as they must have thought I was a dork for even trying it in the first place... Life Lesson...buy the 3 cookies for a buck instead.
In other news...I was snuggling on my couch this morning half in half out of reality with my doggy next to me. He gets up and makes a weird noise. In my daze I know it can't be a good noise. My eyes are drawn to a pile of mustard on the floor...oh but that is not mustard...it's doggy spit up. I quickly make him get into his crate where he proceeds to puke some more and step in it. So I start to clean up the carpet...we do have a small handheld steam cleaner and that works well although that yellow was pretty YELLOW and I could still see a hint of it. I then move to the cage and clean up what I can but his paw will have to wait. We have limited hot water and I still need a shower. So in the crate he stays. We did eventually get paw crate and all clean...My SIL says it's from eating grass...which he has been doing like it's going out of style lately so it makes sense.
The rest of the day went off without a hitch. BREAKING NEWS... This just in...heavy filtered coffee drinking found not on heart. Yeah!!! Keep them studies coming. How could something so good be bad? It can't. That's my story and I'm stickin to it.
I really did just hear that on the news. Along with Oregon has the most breweries per capita than any other state. Our mountain water makes it so good...so they say. I also heard that my alma mater, among a couple others in Oregon, (high school) got some award from Sports Illustated having to do with steroid education...I'll have to check that out.
Well all I guess that is it for now. Have a wonderful Wed-nes-day!! Oh you know I will.

Blankety Blank Blank Blank....
Is my mind as I stare at this screen...
Rhinestone Cowboy flutters through my mind. Not the whole song just that lonely part. Why? Who knows?
Today was a GOOD day. And that is because I was in a good mood and got some things done. What makes a day good and a day bad in my life? Well it's when I get control of my attitude and make it submit to God then it's good. If I don't do that then a phone will probably get broken or toys thrown into the swamp lands (don't ask.)
But today I did. I got perturbed a I think 2 times but took a breath and talked to God...more like it's me having to submit to God than me submitting my attitude to him. Well probably both.
(just deleted a whole bunch I typed. Had you known what I typed you would think me deleting it was very ironic.)
One fun thing tonight is that my son helped me with dishes. He dried. He did very good and it was a real help. It was really cute too. He also wanted to take out the trash but he couldn't because it was too dark and too far away. Today we also played in the park with a new friend here at the RV park. He's only 2 but they all had fun. He has the same birthday as my daughter. The mom is nice and we chatted for a bit.
RV acres in the place to be...RV livin is the life for me.
And And And And That's all folks.
