Have You Hugged Your Kid Today?

James is leaving for the USMC Boot Camp on June 15th.

Television – Oh How I Love Thee

I’m an avid Heroe’s fan.  My son James and I started by watching all episodes of Season 1, then Season 2 and then ofcourse – Season 3, which just ended with this past Monday’s episode.

I have to say I totally enjoy it.  Regular people with extraordinary powers.  What a blast.  Season 4 is

Unconscious Mutterings Wk #1

Actually, this has been going on for a long time. I know I’ve seen it, or maybe even done it once or twice, but I saw it on Susan’s Site – “Lollipop Moments” and I thought I’d give it a go!

Friday Feel Good Day

One reason you won’t see alot of *deep* conversations like yesterdays here, is that this blog is my reach to others to give Love and Light.  When things go a bit bumpy, I do write here – but overall, this blog is to send YOU Love and Light.  From my heart to yours.

My Child Is In Pain

We raise our children in the hopes that no pain will befall them.

I personally cringe when one of my children stubs even a small toe.

To see our children in pain feels like an unjust thrust upon us from the Universe.

We

Homeless Thoughts

While we were at the Art Festival yesterday I caught a few photos that I’d like to share specially.  Although I took so many that you’ll probobly be sick of them after awhile ( hee hee ) these are some I wanted to share.

A Flower For You

My 13 year old son did the neatest thing this weekend for me… made me smile.  I went outside to get into my car and on the driver’s side window were three post it notes, one saying "I love you" and two with arrows pointing to pansies on my handle.

Kids can surely

On My Mind

What would happen if we all simply cared about one another – no issues, no anger, no hatred for what we don’t understand… I think it would be nice.

Search and Rescue training has been going very well.  It’s a great group and I’m lucky to have found them.  Still waiting on my puppy.

Fear

My son is once again in a dangerous place I found out today.  He attempted suicide in Sept last year.  This time, he knew to say something before taking action.

I dropped him off at a group home today.  He should be home in a week.

Fear is another emotion.

One I do not care for.

 

Suddenly Tired

Oh my gosh what a WEEK!

 

Again with my son and cutting himself.  Not attempted suicide this time, just cutting because of anger… I’m going to bang my head against a brick wall.  Not really, but WHAT DO I DO?!  

I found out when I took him to his Dr. today, and

Boys and their TOYS and their Bruises

My son went to Pismo Beach camping with friends and ATVing.  He seemed to have had an accident and came home bruised, scabbed up and – as the Emergency room told us after numerous Xrays – one sprained ankle.

BOYS!

He’s still good looking and is now bragging about the 20′ drop of doom.

Going To Japan

I’m not going to Japan, but my mother-in-law is.  She’s originally from Japan and since her hubby past away last October, her next step in her life is to go back home.  We had a family get together to say our goodbyes.  Very difficult.  My poor hubby is feeling like he lost his dad
