We have three tetris ponds in the front of our house. My husband built them a few years ago. We've had a lot of trouble with them, the fountain worked for a year, then that went on us. The bottom pond had to be replaced twice because it got a mysterious hole in the bottom. We had rocks in between each pond, and a filter system that would allow the water to go around and down into the bottom pond. But you so much as sneezed on that sucker and the ponds would be emptied on the lawn by morning. We even had beautiful gold fish at one point. That turned out to be a bad idea though as well, because the kids got really attached to them, and loved feeding them until it came time for winter and we had to find a new home for them. The kids cried for days that we lost their gold fish.
Anyway, so last year we sort of gave up on them, and just let them have water in them. We have to bleech them out all of the time though because otherwise frogs take over. ( we live in the woods) Well I don't know if it's because of the fact that the ground is drier this year and the frogs have no where to go or what, but we are over run with frogs and frog eggs. When I was a kid I used to LOVE walking up and down the road in spring time until I found a perfect batch of eggs and loading them in my bucket and took care of them until they hatched. Well last count the bottom pond has 18 sacks, the middle has 11 and the top has 2. Our pool has had 4 but I refuse to let them get more then a minute old there, so I have already taken those out! I brought one huge batch to school this morning for my son Aydens kindergarten class to hatch, and had a few more offers on the way out from other teachers. I'm kind of hoping I can give them all away rather than having to "get rid" of them. The thing is if we don't get rid of them we are going to have thousands upon thousands of frogs. As it is now we had to learn how to live with the sound of them. We've learned alot about frogs, and how they communicate. The different sounds they make to call out to eachother as they move closer and closer to eachother. My kids think it's hysterical and love to share it with the other kids at school. They were very proud walking in today with all the other kids and teachers asking them all about it. Too bad I couldn't sell them, that would be a good quick way to make a few dollars!! haha!
Earlier in the week the husbands Dad went for a small procedure to be done on his heart, but it worked out in the end and they only ended up just looking at everything and not having to repair it. My husband was very worried about him, and even drove him down to the appointment. I knew right away once he volunteered to do that he must of been very worried. He almost never even calls him, he always leaves it up to me to make the calls, and keep the family happy. Have I mentioned before now how grumpy my husband is? Don't get me wrong I love that man, lord knows I do. Grumpy ways and all, but sometimes that constant negative demeanor can be very exhausting. For example last night we went to my sons first band concert, and literally for the entire time we were getting ready he was yelling, and bellowing the entire time. By the time we got out the door we were so incredibly stressed out I felt like my blood pressure was through the roof!!
Another issue I have is, I can never lay on the couch and relax. Even if it's on a Saturday and I've worked both of my jobs all week long, one well into the middle of the night, he would have a fit if I were to lay on the couch. Well since he's been short on jobs, he's been home all the time now. He only goes to our office when I do. It used to be that Tuesday and Thursdays were devoted to me staying home, catching up on housework and doing my job. Well now he is home during those days and sits on the couch watching Jerry Springer, and Judge Judy all day. I can't stand it anymore. If I ever even thought about laying on the couch and watching a show he'd have something to say immediately. I can really see how financial strains puts stress on your marriage. It's almost impossible to sometimes not get into an argument because the tension is so high. I want to figure a way to work though this, but some of the changes that he has adopted into his personality are really hard on me. I haven't sat and watched a full tv show in almost 2 years. I'm angry at myself for ever putting up with that behavior from him, but as it is now if I were to sit down for a minute, and I hear him come in, I instinctively jump up and start cleaning. This is ridiuclous!! Absolutely ridiculous! I'm starting to become very, very bitter, and that completely terrifies me. He even said himself the best way for him to ever get jobs, and how it's always been for him is by him getting out there and seeing people. That's usually how he gets his jobs. Well when he needs a very large amount of money to come up with tomorrow, you would think he would have found a better way to use up his time today. Rather than waiting until it's time for us to all sit down and have dinner that's when he decides to go out. I just do not get it.
Thank you for allowing me to vent this all here. It's a great thing to be able to just put it out there and then move on from it.
God Bless!

Natural Therapy
Since I have been feeling depressed the last few months, I started taking more pictures. I started to appreciate my surroundings. The realization that I could lose my house at any given moment taught me a very valuable lesson. Enjoy what you have. Relish the small things. Live for the moment. It may sound cliche' but it works for me. When I stop focusing on all the negatives and look for small, beautiful, positive things, I feel good. I feel free. I feel happy. In the middle of all of that I taught my children, without knowing I was doing it, to look at the beauty surrounding them as well. Out of nowhere they'll say Mommy get your camera, look how pretty the sky looks, or Mommy take a picture of this! For the last several weeks, I have taken a picture of the sky, and our house every single day. Sometimes I just start snapping and will go back and look at them later in the day and I am always pleasantly surprised at the outcome. Just one moment, just one fragment of the day frozen. The sky is the most amazing thing when you look at it. The clouds, the colors, the birds flying free. There's always something to appreciate.
"Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars...
and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is
joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are
not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to
become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers -
for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are." ~Osho
When I slow down and just relish my surroundings, it's a great feeling. A peace that over comes you, and makes all the chaos go away for a moment. Though, I would not wish what we have gone through on any other family, there are parts of it, that I have come to appreciate. Because it has taught me to look through the darkness and see what's good around me. Finding those small things that make me appreciate life in itself. It's not always easy to just appreciate what you do have, and forget the bad things, or the things you don't have. That's very hard to learn, for me anyway. Though I know I should always be grateful for what I have, when you feel threatened, you forget the little things that are good, and surrounding you. Taking pictures has allowed me to appreciate it all. It teaches me to learn to love my life no matter what the circumstance is surrounding it.
Anyway, I won't go on and on here, as I've already gone for longer then I thought I would. I just mainly wanted to show you some of the pictures. I'm so proud of them, and so happy for what they represent for me. They represent good in a bad time. They represent my therapy, and my way of lessening the feelings of gloom.
The Love of a Family
It's been 2 weeks since I've last posted a blog. My reasoning is because every time I went to write something, it was going to be negative. I woke up from my negative comatose state a few days ago, and feel much better. I've realized how quickly I let it consume me. The last few weeks have been many lessons learned for me.
One for example, letting go. My husband has an "ex" and for the respect of those of you who will read this, I will not say just what I'd like to call her. But in all honesty, there are many, many words I could say, and they are mean and ugly. The hurt that she has caused me and my family for the last 14 years goes far beyond over done. She is just too much. Too much of everything. She has been a thorn in my side since the day I met my husband. We have been married for 12 years, don't you think it's time she get over it? GET OVER IT WOMAN!!! Anyway, back to when I realized I need to "let go". I was stressing over and over again because of her, and what she was doing. I was feeling overwhelmed, and angry and I was letting HER consume me. What was I doing that for? I mean haven't I learned that the less you pay attention to someone the more annoying it is for them? The less they get to you the more annoying for them, and the more angry they become? Well, that wasn't why I let it go. I let it go because I couldn't carry it anymore. I let it go because I knew that my husband was going to continue to make the same mistakes when it comes to her, and handling her. I knew that if I didn't let it go, I was going to lose part of myself in that anger, and that bitterness. So, I let it go.
After doing that, I started to feel better with other things as well. I started to just let this huge black cloud hanging over my head go. We are still struggling financially, but there are some projects on the horizon. There is hope that this long dark road is starting to come to an end. My family has been so amazing with support. My mother and sisters took me to dinner for my birthday, and my sister Rose said that they all had to say 3 nice things about me during desert. Wow was that the most amazing thing. Of course I started to cry, but it was because I was so incredibly grateful for those 3 women sitting around the table with me. Each one of them loving me so much they would give me their last piece of bread. They would go without whatever they had to so that my babies have food. They said the most beautiful things to me, and they meant them. How can I be sad, and bitter when I have that in my life?? I am so lucky, and so blessed. It gives me this overwhelming sense that everything is going to be ok. It is going to be ok.
It is all going to be ok because I have the love of a family that will guide me to the light. They will hold my hand through the darkest of days until I have been guided to the light. Thank you God.
Wishing you all a wonderful, blessed day today!!!

Poetry
Tonight I wanted to share a special poem with you. It's a poem I found several years ago, and had quickly become one of my favorites. When I was thinking about the things that are currently going on in my life today, this poem came to mind. I thought how fitting, and I wondered if there was a reason why it came to mind. I basically interpret it as saying that no matter how tough things get, and how bad things around you seem there is always a place you can go. A moment to turn to to make things feel whole again. To feel better again. Things have escalated so rapidly here because of our financial means, and it has caused many, many things to spin out of control. It's effecting the husband in a way that I worry he will be passed the point of no return soon. This last year I've seen major changes in him that make my heart ache. He has a huge amount of pride, and when that is jeopardized I see him go quickly into "survival" mode. It may be ok for him, but what that alone does to me and the children is scary and lonely. The bottom line? I want my husband back.
Anyway, I won't go further with this right now. I just want to head to bed and start a brand new day tomorrow! I will leave you now with the poem. Let me know what you think of it! God Bless!
Turn Your Face To The Sun
by Maithri Goonet
Beloved,
There are days when nothing seems right. When every shell you pick up on the winding shore is broken. When the silken treasure slips through your fingers too quickly. When comforts are empty. And the world is noise.
On those jagged edged days, when the wind is screaming for a reason only she understands. And you find yourself all alone.
Turn your face to the sun.
There is goodness in the world, that even the river of tears cannot erase.
There is love in the world, that the numbed armies of fear can not destroy.
Sometimes that goodness is everywhere apparent. It pours from the heart of every moment. From the light of every smile.
On those soft days, love hides in the eaves to drop like sweet honey on your forehead and sings her lilting lullabies in the arms of the winds.
But on some days, Beloved. On days like today....
We need to look, to see.
So turn your face to the sun.
Even when she is nowhere to be seen.
Go inside yourself. Find a speck, a splinter of beauty to be grateful for.
'Yes', the day has worn you. And 'Yes' our mistakes have been so many.
But say 'Thank you' anyway.
Take account of all that is in your possession.
A mind. A heart. A body.
A life that breathes, even if for just one more day.
Now count the eyes that have smiled
at you on your wild journey,
the hands that have held you tenderly,
the ears that have listened,
the prayers that have been made on your behalf.
And whisper your 'Thank you' again.
Count the sky that has watched you grow
with His painted eyes,
The heaving waves that find their echo
in the tides of your breathing,
The little birds that have sung
you their songs,
The stars which have been a lamp
to your path,
and are your
rightful inheritance.
Count unexpected laughter,
Count undeserved grace,
Count Passion and Love making and Dreams yet to be born,
And bow your head and say 'thank you',
Now count the lives who still need your light,
The hungry, the sick, the helpless,
Count the children who will die today
and imagine if with the breath of your body
you could help just
one.
Turn your face to the sun,
And know yourself as a child of the light.
You are the Goodness that cannot be extinguished,
The love that burns through the darkest night.
And perhaps,
In turning
You will see what i have seen,
that this day where everything seemed wrong,
was not your curse,
It was your gift,
Your chance...
To find inside yourself a forgotten 'thank you',
To smile in the face of the grim suppressors,
To stand in the heart of the glowering darkness
and turn your face to the sun.
Anyway, I won't go further with this right now. I just want to head to bed and start a brand new day tomorrow! I will leave you now with the poem. Let me know what you think of it! God Bless!

Pulling my hair out
It's only 9am and already I've had two wrestling matches to break up, an "I hate my Life" statement to deal with, a spilled bowl of mini wheats all over the living room floor, I've said shhhh let Daddy sleep he just got home from work 67 times, make that 68, already cleaned two rooms, took down two tents that were ungracefully constructed on the TV, had to go on a search for the dog because when you don't see her or hear her that means she's found a treasure in one of the rooms and I will have to go doggy mouth digging gag, had to make 2 pots of coffee because the first went cold before I could take one sip, swept up the coffee grinds after I so gracefully dropped them (that is one of the most annoying things to me, especially when they get wet and you can't pick them up LOL) went through 8 AA batteries in hopes that the toys they were going in would occupy them just a while longer....PHEW I suppose there is more that happened, but I think you get the idea.
Here we go again with another reason why I hate the half wall in my bedroom. WHAT was the husband thinking???? Clearly he wasn't thinking we'd have any kids... Yeah he was thinking that, but when it came time to actually construct that WALL I had little Kevin in the oven already. He must have been envisioning the quietest of life for us. That makes me laugh out loud! Since he's been remodeling his brothers pizza shop he works from 830pm to 7am. I have the worst time sleeping when he's not here because I hear every single solitary sound and jump, or have to look down the first floor stairs 20 times an hour. I'm not usually afraid, well atleast I thought I wasn't, but clearly I'm a big chicken! It used to help having Montana, and it does help having Coco, even though Coco is only 10 pounds, she barks at the first sound of a car in the driveway so I know I would be warned if anyone ever did come here.
Anyway, so the deal is I try to keep the kids quiet so he can sleep. He usually sleeps until 12 noon, then he has to go do the other jobs he has. He can't possibly be sleeping today. There is no way he has been able to sleep through this. I just can't wait for this job to be done. There are so many reasons why, but the main one is I would like my family back. I'm a huge freak for routine. I like to keep things the same for the most part, it really helps me keep things from going haywire with a family of 5. I would like my husband back. I only see him for maybe 20 minutes to an hour tops. He looks awful, and feels awful. He's extremely cranky and miserable, and he's just not himself at all. I would like to let my kids play and be kids on the weekends especially after a long school week rather than sit here and say shhhh Daddy's sleeping over and over until my eyes pop out of my head. It's stressful for all of us, and it's making the kids on edge, and do things they wouldn't normally do. They are completely at eachothers throats now, which to an extent they have always been the type of kids to bicker and get on eachothers nerves. Usually they will fall into a good session of playing but there is usually always some type of riff between them going on at some point in the day. I'm sure they will out grow that, but lately they have been really getting at eachother, and I strongly believe it's the stress they are feeling from the situations around them with Mommy and Daddy.......sigh
My sister in law invited us over to her house for a movie night, and she invited the kids to sleep over. I'm not sure I feel ok with leaving all 3 of them there though. She's never had them all at once, and she's never had them for more then an hour and that was over 2 years ago. She now has a one year old, and I am alittle worried about letting them stay the night. They really want to though, she has a 3D wide screen HUGE tv and the Wii, so my son Kevin is like foaming at the mouth to get his hands on that. LOL So funny how he is with anything electronic. He just loves it. I may just do the movie and snacks and then come home. Although without a car I doubt we can do any of it. I'm sure the husband is working tonight as well..... AHHHHHHHHHH

What day is it?
TGIF! LOL It's funny how those four letters have changed for me now that I am a Mother, and Wife. 15 years ago, TGIF meant dancing, drinking, dancing, drinking, laughing over really silly jokes thanks to the drinking part. New outfits once a week, new shoes as soon as the pay check hit the bank account. Top notch make up, hair was always done, perfect highlights, nails done and without a chip, or a smudge. Now a days if I'm lucky to find the time to paint my nails, I can almost bet there will be atleast 2 fingers smudged, 1 to 3 will have paint on the cuticles. Now don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. So much about those nights though fun, I do not miss one bit of. I have to say what I remember most about those times, on the fond end is that I had a great group of girl friends. There were endless nights of just pure fun. We were attractive, and always in a cluster. People who knew us always associated us as a pack. We had movie night each week at a different persons house. We'd always do it on a Wednesday so we could watch Ally Mcbeal. We had nacho cheese Doritos with ranch dip on the side. Wine, and laughter. We shopped together, ate out together. We were inseparable for years. What I hated most about those times? Being alone. I never had a boyfriend throughout those years. I mean sure I dated, and I had some bad boys I was in a pretend relationship with. I say pretend, because it was definitely not anything substantial. They were bad boys in every sense of the word, treated me horrible, and I chased them like a free bird looking for food. Ridiculous. All of my girlfriends always had a long term serious relationship. Usually with a guy I had first admired. One friend in particular would literally hit on every guy I liked, or even so much as said he was cute. Funny thing about that pack we had, there's only 3 of us left. The friendships died with the deejayed nights.
My new weekend regime, though different, is just as special. I enjoy nothing more than a lazy Saturday morning, with a hot cup of coffee, the kids sleeping in, and playing at their leisure. I do not miss those nights from back when even for a moment. I will admit I miss the primping, and self pampering that I was able to do then. I also miss being at home with my Mother, and her having coffee with me on Saturday morning, excited to hear all the events that took place the night before. Because I can only do the "primping" thing once in a while now, I definitely appreciate it all the more. I don't have the ability to buy new shoes each week, or keep up on the latest outfit trends, but when I am able to shop for clothes, or go to the city for some pampering, it freaking ROCKS! LOL
I used to be able to stay up well passed 3 am. Dancing until my feet felt like they were no longer attached to my body. Now, 930pm is bed time. I'm definitely more of a night person, as far as preference, but the necessity is to be a day person, so 930 bed time it is.
Enjoy your Friday!! Whatever it is that makes the T in your TGIF, I hope you are enjoying it!!
God Bless!!

Black and Whites
I am having a Black and White photo week. LOL That sounds funny. We live in a rural area, surrounded by farm area. Many are no longer occupied. I am a sucker for an old barn. I can picture them in all there glory, stock full of horses, children running around the field.
I'm also a sucker for a beautiful sky. Who isn't?! Something about a lot of clouds, and a beautiful deep sky just make me feel better. Perhaps I was an artist in a past life? Yeah probably not. I would love to go back to school and take a photography class. I've thought about that a few times, but have yet to look into it fully. It's really just a hobby, I'm not very good at it, but the main thing is that it makes me happy, and that's a good thing. Hobbies should definitely make you happy.
I hope you enjoy my little snap shots of the world surrounding me. :)
