Oh dear, I think I have found a new toy! If there is one thing about me, it is that I'm usually the last to get on the train of anything. I still am reluctantly fighting the cell phone although beginning to give up my resolve as I find they can be convenient. Of course, I'm the last one in the house without one! I joined facebook and thought "what do I do now", slowly learning how useful it is to share photos of the kids to family all over the United States. The new timeline? Well, lets just say I have it but I'm again thinking now what? But, what I have found that I am very excited about is this pinterest. This is right up my alley, where I can put photos and set up boards with things that I like, and look at other peoples boards that like the same things. I think I'm in love and this time I'm not fighting it, I'm getting on the train!
Spring is lurking!
Taking long, winding, walks brings a new perspective to life when you are out among nature. Just taking in the simple things that God has blessed us with and appreciating them can really lighten a winters heavy heart.
Until spring arrives, I will take every glorious sunny day and hold it dear to my heart. As I wait for those light breezes, bright mornings and cool evenings where the stars fill the black sky like twinkling Christmas lights, I will appreciate the glory of winter a few weeks more. Rain to feed our soil, wind to blow the dust away and cold, crisp days that take your breath away are still upon us, but will be laid to rest as soon as the warmth of spring that is lurking, arrives.

They can make me laugh!
Dealing with teenagers should come with a free sample of Tylenol! Don't get me wrong I love my children with every last breath, but they do know how to push our buttons. I do love those moments when one of my kids really makes me laugh. Even out of frustration you have to stop and laugh. This morning our chihuahua, Ziggy, jumped up in my chair and over my shoulder and down my back to get warm. Of course, scratching me down the back as well. I grumbled at him, and my daughter looks at me and says "do you still lovvve him?" I looked at her still frustrated with Ziggy and the searing sting down my back from the scratch and replied, "I still love you when you make me mad!" She replies "Good to know!" Well, that just made me laugh! Does that mean she is hatching some sinister plan now to test the theory? Teenagers today just make a parent go "huh?"
I have to commend that father that shot his daughter's laptop after her disrespectful rant on Facebook! I think more teenagers need a reality check these days, to let them know they don't really know it ALL, nor do they have it so bad! Of course, in their minds without them parents would sit drooling on themselves all day long. It is hard to remember being a teenager and I know we probably said, thought and did the same things just in different formats. Oh how we get paid back for what we dealt out when our parents were looking at us and saying "huh?"
