USMC Recruit Momma

On December 7th, my eldest son – middle child – went into USMC Boot Camp. Sunday, December 6th I dropped him off at the recruiter’s office and that’s the last I’ve seen of my boy. That’s a key word – “Boy”. You see, once he graduations and becomes a Marine – he will forever be lost as a boy. Sound harsh? Maybe – but it’s true. The come home men. Parent’s girls who leave for Parris Island come back Women. It’s inevitable.

How Could Anyone?

This seems to be video 4 in my series this week.

My New Cell Phone – Android T-Mobile G1

I have a new toy!  My BlackBerry that I loved so much crashed and burned – so to speak.  I bought another off of Craigslist listing and, well, it had some issues.  I’ve been using BlackBerry now for about 3 years and love it ofcourse.  However, my new phone… well, let’s just say I

But that doesn’t mean I’m not human and I don’t FEEL when things hurt. I’m human and what I’ve seen today makes my HUMAN part so flippin’ ANGRY! …

High School Is a Bit Different Now

My children – up until this year – have been enrolled in the normal public school system. James is a senior (leaving to serve our great country as a Marine in June 2009), and the other is Stephen a junior in high school. That’s 11th and 12th grade students in a public NORMAL California high school. That is the number one issue – public school.

Sanctuary – Almost Done

I told you all about the “sanctuary” I had envisioned for my backyard.  I’m someone that loves Mother Nature, and loves her space to meditate.  Usually that means outside of the house and closer to anything nature.

In suburbia, finding nature is difficult.  My neighbors have a beautiful tree that seems to love coming
