Who doesn't give all they have to their kids? Dang dead beat parents that's who!
My passion is kids. I have no idea why. It is not really where I wanted my life to go. But once I had my first born...I was hooked on the idea of it!
Kids are amazing. Fresh minds and talents, with the world at their finger tips and every adult in their life has an amazing opportunity to be such a great influence to them and what they can become.
Why do some parent choose to be such JERKS!
Okay maybe it is too late for some of you to be parents. You know the ones.... the ones that only gave the money cause it was court ordered and never worried if they had anything other then that. Why can't you dead beats own up to what you did and apologize to your kids and tell them it was your mistake and that it had nothing to do with them.
Maybe it isn't too late to still become friends with your adult children.
I am dumbfounded at the amount of effort some will do to keep from doing anything for their kids. Hiding in a house and not answering doors.... avoiding conversations, not sending simple acts of kindness such as a card to tell them, Merry Christmas, congrats on your graduation.... happy birthday?!
Parents are suppose to help them out emotionally, physically, spiritually and financially. What is wrong with these people that they aren't just head over heels in love with their own kids? Man, whenever my kids call, I don't care where I am, I take the call. I might say... let me call you back, but I take that call.
Welcome to my cozy little Blog—a place where I unapologetically untangle my thoughts, parade my so-called wisdom, and occasionally drop nuggets of information you didn’t ask for. Insightful musings? Random ramblings? I’ll write, you decide.

Katie's New Adventure
Katie is going back to college this spring and we are very happy for her. She only took a semester off... she wanted to study "life" for a semester and decided - rather quickly - that she wanted a new major! lol But just because she wasn't at school didn't mean she set idol.
She moved to OKC and in her own one bedroom apartment... worked on furnishing it the way she wanted which is retro and new york! (Of course). She works two jobs and hangs out with friends. She works out with her personal trainer and she got to go to Las Vegas for a week and party!!! (She actually was in a singing contest and won 14th place nation wide!) There has been several other adventures along the way, but I can't remember all their names! LOL
Once she decided to go back to school she had to figure out some financial issues, as she always paid for college her self. However, this time she is not sharing a house with 4 other girls. It was proving to be a bit challenge. Her daddy, once again, came to her rescue! Daddy's are amazing like that... or at least some are.... and luckily hers is AWESOME to always take such good care of her. He wants her to succeed in her life,so he handed her his visa today and told her he would help her with her college expense.
Next Monday she will get to enroll in her classes and start her new adventure and take those baby steps toward her new career. I am not sure what she is majoring in because she is talking to her advisor to see how her associates she has already earned can help her achieve her Bachelors degree. But I can tell you this... It will be a major that has "Katie" written all over it.

I changed my mind! I don't want to be a Big Foot in my next life!
Why does my hair get to the same length and then just quit growing? I always wanted long, luxurious hair... "CHER HAIR"! Yes I was the girl that wore the slip on her head and flipped my head back while I sang into a brush singing, "I got you babe!"..... But it gets just past the shoulders and then stops. As in DOES NOT GROW!!!
And it isn't as if I haven't tried everything to get it to grow. I have taken vitamins, put eggs and mayo in it, used horse shampoo and conditioner. I have bathed it with Beer! I have permed it... NOT permed it. NOT blow dried. Not curled it and.... even slept on a silk pillow case.
I have wore it up tight in a pony tail. Something about pulling it out from the scalp, and I have stopped wearing it up tight in a pony tail ... something about causing it to split.
I have kept it trimmed. Massaged my scalp. I even tried pulling it like those dolls with the button in their stomach. You know the one! (That will tell your age).
Maybe my next life I will have long hair. Maybe I will be like Rapunzel! Okay I dont' want to go overboard.... I would end up looking like big foot... or worst, coming back as a big foot!
Maybe I will just count my blessings and go buy extensions!

Memories That Slam You In The Face
Strange how memories can slam you in the face out of nowhere. I mean, I remember my Daddy every day. Every day without fail, when I drive to work, I think of my Daddy because the sun is just coming up and the sky is so pretty. He was always up and already doing something outside by that time. He loved being outside and getting his day started before it got too hot.
Out of the blue today I remembered something my daddy use to say and do with me and my siblings when we were little. We could be whiny or could have hurt ourselves, or maybe we were just tired... What ever he was doing, watching TV, eating dinner, talking with friends, he would stop and stick out his hand and say, "Ahhh, come lay you're little head in my hand." and then miracles upon miracles we always felt better!
I wish I could put my head in his hand today.
