Going to Vegas.

Now I`m aimin' for heaven But probably wind up down in hell Where upon this alter I will hang my guilt ridden head But it`s time I`ll take before I begin Three sheets to the wind, Three sheets to the wind Rebels are we, though heavy our hearts shall always be Ah, no ball or chain no prison shall keep We`re the rebels of the sacred heart I said no ball or chain no prison shall keep We`re the rebels of the sacred heart

There is heat in my tears.

Danny was greeted by my brother, Anzie and Ben last Monday afternoon.  He is now on US soil and not in danger of Afghani's shooting or bombing him to bits.  As an Aunt I have some right to cry, and breath heavy about his whereabouts, but I am not his Mother or Father.  That.. my friends would be a heartbreaker.  I have shed tears during his deployment, tears of unknown and the reality of danger in his path.  I cried for his parents feelings of no control and fear that wakes you in the middle of the night.  These tears I shed in fear taste the same as the tears I shed when I saw pictures of his smiling face as he greeted his family after 8 long months.  I cried salty warm tears of joy at his healthy body, and sparkling eyes.  The tears I cry for the loss of my friends husband are the same tears I cry when I retell the story to my husband, how grateful I am to have him in my life. Tears of joy and loneliness, tears of pride and loss, drops from...

This day in Kindergarten was picture day.  I totally forgot about it until this morning when I was checking the lunch schedule and glimpsed the picture day notice.  I ran around and found my favorite red golf shirt and khacki's for your big day.  Before you left for school Daddy pulled out his new frames, and we tried these beauties on for size.  They are perfect, that is because you my dear are perfect. So how is Kindergarten going? Im imagining you as being a big boy when you read this for yourself someday.  Maybe even a grown man, and this is what you did this day in kindergarten. You smiled just like this picture for your picture sans the glasses. Your hair was slicked to the side with gel, very young republican although Mommy is a democrat. The topic the last few days of conversation was about how cats have kittens and they feed them milk from their bellies.  You were sure to tell the candidate for Luzerne County Judge that stopped at the house ...

Rain in your eyes...

I woke up about 630 this morning.  Thinking that the boy would be in at any time I just lay there.  I tossed a bit snuggled up against the big guy and couldn't get back to sleep.  I figured why just toss and turn Ill go for my walk early.  So I woke Andy enough to tell him I was leaving, and to listen for the boy getting into bed. Hmm mmm. ok .. take your phone... So I tossed on my sweats, bra and a tank top.  It was a humid, muggy morning so I fi gured a refreshing walk it would be. So I got the Ipod, put on the sneakers that dont fit stuffed my junk in my bra and I was OFF> I headed down the street.  The entire route is three miles.  I am still hooked on the shuffle idea on the pod.  Music is a surprise which is cool, but then again if it doesnt suit me at the moment, ITS GONE with a hit off the shuffle button. I'm walking, walking, thinking about the weekend out the mountain for labor day.  I had a good time, nice to see everyone. ...
