Exhaling

Friday December 8, 2006

 Did Ya Know????
 

Oh..I found out something today..well tonite...Today marks the anniversary of "Pearl Habor"...I was one who didn't know that..and this day is important to some others who had fathers who was there...Pearl Harbor Day DEC.7. 1941
 
I came across this blog site and found some of JSGDMN blogs interesting and funny...and today he posted about Pearl Harbor...and I just thought I would pass this along in respect to him...and to the many others who live and die for our country...I have 3 sons of my own and 1 who is at the age of many of the young men and women who are now risking their lives for us..and if my son were to go into the arms forces..I would want him to be appreciated and respected also.

 Dreams...Oh Forgiving Dreams......
 

Oh yeah..I am going into the big M...Menopause...LOL..for when I read some of the blogs of my dear friends..it surely brought back many memories of my own...
 
In all seriouness..This has been the best thing I ever did...meeting all of the wonder people on here and seeing their lives come to life on my computer screen with words typed out from their hearts...It gives me the will to do the same...it gives me back some good and some bad memories....which I need all to be able to live my life and heal and be stronger....
 
Just reading LFL blog..and commenting to her and having her comment back at me...gave me a memory from long ago...
 
It was way back in the late eighties..when my eldest son was only about 2 maybe 3 years old...for only a reason that God had..I had this Beautiful dream...
We lived in this very small trailor..a 12x54...a match box...and it was so included in my dream..most of my dreams usually happen in my home that I was raised in..but not this one...
The dream started off really strange...there were many different strangers in my home...all in the living room...and there was so much wrong being done...I just recall that I walked pass them all with a child clutched on my right side...I assumed it was my eldest  son since he was the only child I had at this time...but..it was never clarified ...I went out the front door onto our open porch...I then noticed in the sky....It looked like an angel....then...it started to multiply...before I knew it..the sky was filling up with all these Angels...there was no sky as we know it..only Angels...with the most beautiful colors I have ever seen in my life...I could never...ever...begin to tell what the colors were..only that they were beautiful and never before seen..at least not by me...I then fell to one knew..with the child still in arm and I just kept saying thank you..thank you...
 
I don't know the reason why I woke up...but I just remember that I was so upset...I wanted to go back..go back to sleep and be there again...to be in the presence of beauty and peace..I kept trying to figure out what it meant..what was being told to me....Then after talking with my mom..I finally just accepted it as a gift...a beautiful gift..
 
About 5 years later..as I came out from a counseling session I had for something really personal...I got into my car...and that dream came to mind again..and I just started to cry and cry...I at that moment understood what it meant...God was telling me he forgave me..and that is why I kept saying thank you in the dream...but...I had not yet forgiven myself so I couldn't accept what he was giving me..until that very moment...It had helped me to know that he forgave me for something that was to me so unforgivable...I still to this day don't think I fully forgave myself...but..have come to a middle ground with it..

 Cajun 12 days of Christmas
 


CAJUN 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
 
Dear Emile,
Thanks for da bird in the Pear tree.  I  fixed it las night with dirty rice an it was delicious.  I doan tink the  Pear tree would grow in de swamp, so I swapped it for a  Satsuma.
Dear Emile,
 Your letter said you sent 2 turtle  dove, but all I got was 2 scrawny pigeon. Anyway, I mix them with  andouille and made some gumbo out of dem.
Dear Emile,
     Why  doan you sen me some crawfish?  I'm tired of eating dem darned  bird.  I gave two of those prissy French chicken to Mrs. Fontenot over  at Grand Chenier, and fed the tird one to my dog, Phideaux(Fido).  Mrs.  Fontenot needed some sparring partners for her fighting  rooster.
Dear Emile,
     Mon Dieux!  I tole you no more of  dem bird.  Deez four, what you call "calling bird" wuz so noisy you  could hear dem all da' way to Lafayette.  I used they necks for my crab  traps, and fed the rest of dem to the gators.
Dear  Emile,
     You finally sent something useful.  I liked dem golden rings,  me.  I hocked dem at da' pawn shop in Sulphur and got enough money to fix the shaft on my shrimp boat, and to buy a round for da boys at  the Raisin' Cane Lounge. Merci Beaucoup!
Dear  Emile,
     Couchon!  Back to da birds, you coonass turkey!  Poor egg sucking Phideaux is scared to death ah dem six goose.  He try to eat they eggs and they pecked the heck out ah his snout.  Dem goose are damm  good at eating cockroach around da' house, though.  I may stuff one ah  dem goose with erster dressing to serve him on Christmas  Day.
Dear Emile,
        I'm gonna wring your fool neck next time I  see you.  Ole Boudreaux, da mailman, is ready to kill you, too.   The crap from all dem bird is stinkin up his mailboat.  He afraid  someone will slip on dat stuff and gonna sue him.  I let dem seven swan  loose to swim on da bayou and some stupid duck hunter from Mississippi done  blasted dem out da water. Talk to you tomorrow.
Dear Emile,
        Poor ole Boudreaux had to make 3 trips on his mailboat to deliver  dem 8 maids-a-milking & der cows.  One of dem cows got spooked by da alligators and almost tipped over da boat.  I doan like dem shiftless maids, me.  I told dem to get to work gutting fish and sweeping my shack--but dey say it wasn't in their contract.  They probably tink they  too good to skin all dem nutria I caught las night.
 Dear  Emile,
        What you trying to do?  Boudreaux had to borrow da Cameron Ferry  to carry these jumping twits you call lords-a-leaping across da bayou. As  soon as dey got here dey wanted a tea break and crumpets.  I doan know what dat means but I says, "Well la di da.  You get Chicory coffee  or nuthin." Mon Dieux, Emile, what I'm gonna feed all these bozos?  They  too snooty for fried nutria, and da cow ate up all my turnip  green.
Dear Emile,
        You got to be out of you mind.  If  da mailman don't kill you, I will.  Today he deliver 10 half nekkid  floozies from Bourbon Street.  Dey said they be ladies dancing" but they doan  act like ladies in front of dem Limey sailing boys.  Dey almost left  after one of them got bit by a water moccasin over by my out- house.  I  had to butcher 2 cows to feed toute le monde (everybody) and get  toilet paper rolls.  The Sears catalog wasn't good enough for dem hoity  toity lords.  Talk at you tomorrow.
 Dear Emile,
        Where  Y'at?  Cherio and pip pip.  You 11 Pipers Piping arrived today from  the House of Blues, second lining as dey got off da boat. We fixed stuffed  goose and beef jumbalaya, finished da whiskey,and we're having a  fais-do-do.  Da' new mailman drank a bottle ofJack Daniel, and he's  having a good old time dancing with the floozies.  Da' old mailman done jump off the Moss Bluff Bridge yesterday, screaming you name.  If  you happen to get a mysterious-looking, ticking package in da mail, don't  open it.
Dear Emile,
        Me I'm sorry to tell you--but I am  not your true love anymore.  After the fais-do-do, I spent da night with  Jacque, the head piper.  We decide to open a restaurant and gentlemen's  club on the bayou. The floozies--pardon me--ladies dancing can make $20 for a  table dance, and the lords can be the waiters and valet park da boats.   Since da' maids have no more cows to milk, I trained dem to set my crab  traps, watch my trotlines, and run my shrimping business.  We'll  probably gross a million dollars next year.

 OUCH!!!
 

Good day good day to all..I think I may be back to normal..ummm...let me think..oh no..can't do that..lol..Na..Not back to normal cause I never was..lol....
 
I have the worst luck and I mean the worst luck..lol..I thought I may have thrown something away and when I just barely put my hand in the trash can which I may add was in my house..well It felt as though something bite me...yeap..darn it..something did bite me...it hurt like heck....I just couldn't believe something would bite me from out of the trash can...My finger started to swell and I could surely see a bite mark  a little dot..I was worried that it may be a spider..but we have been having some wasp lately getting in the home...so I panic and yelled for hubby to get up and help me dump the trash to see what was lurking in there...I just wanted to make sure it was no spider...
 
First we couldn't find it....nothing at all..but...I know I am nutty..but my goodness..I know when I have been bitten..lol...Ah ha...there it was that little vermont...walking on my floor from out of the trash...it was a wasp...may sound crazy but I was so happy to see that little wasp...I perfered it be a wasp than a spider...so now my mind can relax....well as relax as it can be..lol...Thank the good Lord that we had empty the trash the nite before and it was not full...that would have been a mess...cause I know I would have still dumped it out..lol..lol..
 
I have the worst luck when it comes to been bitten lately by wasp...just a few weeks ago..as I went into the laundry room to gather the clothes on the floor...all of a sudden..there was this awlful burning in my toe...Like a big baby I was a crying out...it hurts it hurts..and my eldest was home at this time and so was all my guys...they wanted to help..but was trying so hard not to laugh..cause of the way I was acting...I was on the floor just a holding my foot and sayig it over and over again...oh it hurts...you would just know..it had to be me that darn wasp would find..of all the places and the timing...yeap me..and then I would laugh too with them...
 
It seems there is never a dull moment in our home...whether it be silly...stupid...or even argueing...but never a dull moment...Whew...do I really want it to be silence and dull...NAAA...Even when I think I hate it...I really love it all and wouldn't change it..well..maybe I would change the wasps biting me...LOL LOL  :0)
 
Well ok then I will get back to reading some of my email..and I have a few that are so funny..I will post some up for you...here is one......
 
 
Rudolph ..... A Girl ?
 
REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter,
 usually late November to mid-December.  
Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.

Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them,
from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl ! ! !

We should've known...
ONLY women would be able to drag a BIG-BELLIED  man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night, never asking for directions and not getting lost ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

How many people do crazy things but never just hang it out for everyone to see???well that is why I have this blog...to do things like this...lol...Yeap..must be Menopause....LOL LOL...

Oh..here is another oldie...does anyone remember Tom Jones.."Pussy Cat"....
Man..I remember when I was a little girl..everyday when I got home from school...my mom always had this old 45 record player..you know the one where you would open it up and the speakers go to each side and the player would come down in the middle..Well she would always be playing her music...I loved it..I can still see her standing there going through the records to find a song that I loved ...like "Dizzy"..or "The Lions sleep tonight"...Man do I miss those days...
 
I remember my mom had this long beautiful hair..I used to love to brush it...I also remember her hands...her hands for some reason just amazed me...They were small...long slender fingers..a little on the older side because she worked in this bag factor..but her hands to me were just beautiful...and I have noticed that my hands are so much like hers lately...I look at my hands and they look so old..but yet...beautiful because they remind me of my mom's....crazy??oh well...
 
Oh no here I go again...Another singer that I love ....Martina Mcbride...."Concrete Angel"...."Where woud you be"....."My Valentine"....Oh this one I do so well in sign language....."Broken wing"....
 
 
 
She loved him like he was
The last man on earth
Gave him everything she ever had
Hed break her spirit down
Then come lovin up on her
Give a little, then take it back

Shed tell him about her dreams
Hed just shoot em down
Lord he loved to make her cry
"Youre crazy for believin
Youll ever leave the ground"
He said "only angels know how to fly"

CHORUS:
And with a broken wing
she still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you oughta see her fly

One Sunday mornin
She didnt go to church
He wondered why she didnt leave
He went up to the bedroom
Found a note by the window
With the curtains blowin in the breeze

REPEAT CHORUS

With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you oughta see her fly

 
I have been a little on the strange side since birth..lol...I can remember going in my room and just playing my small record player and haveing my casset player ready to tape my oh so wonderful singing..NOT..LOl..but boy did I have fun trying..I would sit for hours just singing to my music and recording it just to see how I sounded..I always said I was going to be a singer when I grew up...Boy did I get fooled..lol...But in some small way..I did..I sing songs in sign language...I seem to be pretty good at it..if I may say so ....lol..Well at least that seems to be the opion of others when they see me in church and when I do other functions...So God did bless me with one talent...But I guess in some small way I cheated..I grew up with a Deaf sister and brother..
I remember always wishing I would have been deaf like them..I thought in some way it was not fair that I was hearing and not them...Today I am glad that God didn't give me that wish..because then I wouldn't be able to hear all the beautiful music...
 
Well...I guess..I better stop all this singing and memory logging...and get myself a few hours of sleep...Hope I didn't scare anyone away...yeap you guessed it I am posting it...LOL...well good nite to Me and to you..
I love these songs..you have to start them up...
