 Happy Halloween
 

 
 
I hope everyone had a great Halloween ...whether it was out with the kids, grandkids or just sitting home giving out sweets or just relaxing...
 
I have to say this evening was just great for my 2 younger boys and I...My 14 year old came home from school today and apologized for our not so good evening the nite before and really wanted to go trick or treating with me and the younger son...We got our little sponge bob ready and headed downtown around 4pm and we didn't stop until 7pm..it was wonderful, the boys had a great time no arguing no tempers flared only fun....Both of them were so excited about all the goodies they had gotten...
 
It was so nice to be able to just have fun with them and not feel so stressed out, no hurrying up for anything, just enjoying ourselves....I need to have more days like this with my sons...I know this is what my 14 year old need from me...Thanks to some of my fellow blog friends for the eye opener....

 Hard To Do
 

Whew...understanding kids is so very hard to do...Just when you think you got them all figured out and that they truly understand your reasoning and will go with the flow...Boom...back to the drawing board...LOL...
 
Even with the 19 year old and his girlfriend issue and keeping up with the 5 year old..I must say that the hardest one yet is my 14 year old son..They are all boys..but this one is so hard for me to reach or should I say for me to understand.....
 
I know he is only a kid and that he wants to be just a kid..but, there are things that I need for him to do, such as watch his younger brother for me while I work..No matter how much I explain to him that I depend on him to tend to his brother and make sure he is fed and not to be so mean to him...he just tends to keep his old ways of doing things so opposite of what I ask of him...Out of all my boys, he is the one who can really fire up my engine..
 
The other nite he done something to get my engine boiling and I told him I was going to deal with him when I got home...I really thought about it while working and I really didn't want to fight with him..so what I did when I arrived home was walk up to him and just put my arms around him and hug him tightly...I must say he didn't know how to take that one..LOL.. I told him how much I really depend on him and that I would appreciate if he would try harder...Of course that lasted all about a day..tonite he did it again...but I just called the hubby and asked him to deal with it...When I arrived home I didn't say a word about it...I am not just ignoring the situation but I must find a better solution to it...
 
It is so funny how we can deal with outside the home problems and even other people's problems but when it comes to our own kids our own home we loose all brain cells....We loose our tempers and hurt the ones we love the most...Well that is something I refuse to let go on...that is one of the things I am so desperately working on....

 Knowing the Enemy
 

OK, I think I've finally made a few moments time to sit and write, lol lol......First of all I really want to thank all my new blog friends again for all ya'll heart felt comments....it is  so good to see there are still some good people out there...When I first became involved with the computer age, only a few years ago, I met some real strangers, lol...I guess it was my own fault, I decided I wanted to see the thoughts of an Atheists, so I went into a chat room for them...Wow, it was something else...I am not criticizing them, because, in all fact they know the bible even more so than some Christians and ashamed to admit it but myself too...Like the old saying goes "Keep your friends close but keep your enemies even closer"  So I gather that is what they do, if they know what they are up against then they can fight us...I find that Christians don't really realize that...They feel that they believe in the Lord so they don't want to know anything about the Atheists people...but, I feel we should know all there is to know, so I guess that is my reasoning for going to that chat room...and let me tell you there were some really smart people there, and with the good Lord's help I must say I held my own...I seen so many others arguing with them and some down right saying mean hateful things, in which I couldn't help but tell them that is not a good example of God's love...That is what they want to do to us, to prove us wrong...Hey if they can make you that angry to where you show hate then they have won, they prove they are right that God's love is not real...
 
I had a few of them really try to get to me...I recall one really jumping on me about why am I here, just to talk bad on them, and such things like that..in which I replied that I never once said one bad word against them..that I just was listening and curious and all I ever did was ask questions, I told them how am I supposed to learn if I don't ask questions...the down right ugly ones well they buzzed off but the others with sense actually talked to me and seem to let free what made them feel the way they do about God...They asked me questions, sometimes trying to trick me into giving false words about God...but, Like I told them I can't give answers to all that God does, I can only tell you to have faith and ask him to show and guide you.....I learned that a true Atheists is not so much for the Devil, but just doesn't believe in God...The majority of them have had something happen in their lives that made them feel this way, that there was no God, in other words they lost their faith, hope because of something awlful....So, I guess when we think of Atheists, it doesn't necessary mean they are for the evil, they just don't believe there is anything more than what is here and what they see in the now...How sad though..My heart and my prayers are for them...and for all who are without hope and faith.....They are the ones we really should be praying for, right?....It is easy to pray for someone you love...but really hard to pray for someone you don't... 
 
But, hey still pray for the ones ya love too...LOL....Never abandon them either...because I know I can surely use all the prayers I can get, lol lol....
 
Now you know what...I got on here ready to write and tell about what has been happening in my life these past days and ended up on this subject..don't know why..
 
Maybe because yesterday on a beautiful Sunday...I had to work and while doing so, I saw at least 2 to 3 people or couples just so angry...I over heard one gentlemen just a cursing away angry words about someone...then I saw a couple agruing with each other over what I don't know...then finally the last one at the fitting room I heard a man arguing with his wife who was in the fitting room and I heard him use Jesus' name...I couldn't help myself and I said now why do you have to use the Lord's name in vain...of course he said well she makes me so crazy and he is the only one who prob could help me now...but...I told him you used his name in an angry way not a positive asking way..I told him why don't you use your wife's name instead..she is the one you are angry with.....lollol....I know shame on me...but I couldn't help myself....besides with all these new laws and such saying that we will offend others if we say the Lord's prayer in school, and such places.. and now they don't even want us to say Merry Christmas...because we may offend someone...well what about us..if we have to watch what we say then I feel they should watch what they say also..as not to offend us.....
 
I have to say though that I did not get angry, I really felt sorry for them all...here a beautiful day that the Lord has made and they are using it to be angry...I was there working which I would have preferred to be home with my family...but I didn't use it to be angry....It made me realize that being happy is so much better...I know the two subjects don't really bind together but I guess they both talk of people who seem to have lost something along the way...lost the true meaning of life and love and hope and faith...They lost God...or should I say they left him out.....

 Rain Rain Go Away
 

I think I will float away today with all the rain we have gotten since yesterday, lol....too much I feel...but then again the cold weather is comming....I don't have much time to blog today as so I haven't had time the past week...I just didn't want my friends here to think I was ignoring...work is changing our hours so much never have enough time and now with the first cool spell younger son is a coughing up a storm, Hubby has a swollen mouth from a bad tooth....nothing I can't handle really and truly so simply of problems....I figured since I have to work early this morning I would hurry and let ya know I am still kicking...and I will surely be back to catch up on everything going on in ya'll lives and mine...I wish you all to have a great day...shoot have a great weekend...My prayers are with you all...Lots love

 New Friends
 

Yeah, I vanished there for a few days...Sorry about that Lucy..Seemed as though I had got scared off by all the new friends popping up on my email...But that was not the case..as a matter of fact it really was awesome...The first time a new name came up, I was like ok someone caught hold of my site, then it happened again and again, made my mind wonder and then I read a  new blog by my new friend Lucy and then I fully understood, lol lol...
 
I started blogging just to be able to speak my head my heart and just to say what ever, never did I imagine anyone would care one ounce about what I had to say, much less suggest to anyone else about me...I have gone to some of ya'll sites and read a few of your blogs and wow, some are so powerful and some just living their days as I do...Trying to figure out what the heck...
 
I really appreciate being accepted into your blog group and look forward to getting to know you all...
