Now on to Christmas!

I kind of feel out the loop with Christmas nowadays. My kids who i used to love to shop for are 16 and do not need anything.

Yeah, i'll head to the mall and get a few small things for them and my husband but it still isnt as exciting as running around trying to get them a great gift they've been writing to santa about.

Even myself, there isnt anything that i really want.

ok, I am soo lying.... I want a diamond ring, another coach bag, some timberlands and of course many gift cards, new furniture, a car, a holiday getaway....

yeah, i'm a greedy bitch - at times...

but most of all i just want health and happiness for all.

and to turn the clock back a bit! i cant believe my birthday is around the corner!

ok, i need to get over myself and face it, time is speeding along and i am rapidly aging....

time for another touch-up.....

Time for Jello

Actually I think making stuff like Jello sucks. But its part of the 'mommy duties' that Moms are supposed to do.

There is a part of me that is such the rebel; hating my 'mommy duties'. Those duties are baking, cooking and planning meals, keeping the house clean, PTA meetings, dealing with annoying parents of your kids' friends, etc.

Now please don't get me wrong. I think my kids would say that they have had a fun childhood. Not only did I do all my 'mommy duties'; I also did them with a smile. Why? Because my guys are worth it. You cant beat that satisfied smile or hug they give you.

My guys are 16; so the 'mommy duties' have lessened. They no longer get excited when they see the boxes of Jello on the counter.

Just to fill in the blanks - I have 16 year old twin sons.

Anyway, the Jello is done and is chilling.

Time to re-heat dinner (ugh). Is it a crime to order pizza on Sunday night? Just kidding........

My First Blog (who-hoo)!!

I'm not a great writer. But recently I've been feeling like I want to get out my thoughts on various topics.

If you are reading this, then please feel free to jump in and share your thoughts on anything. I welcome all thoughts, ideas and comments.

About myself - well, all I'll share for now is that I'm a very open-minded person. I wish the world would share my feelings for being respectful, kind, and being a positive influence in the world.

Recently with the presidential campaigns, I've encountered many bigoted comments about Obama. Hard to believe that in the year 2008, we still have people that wouldn't consider voting for this man - just because of the color of his skin.

Anyways, I will try to post frequently, I hope you will stop by and share too.

'til next time...
