A man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden, The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and no ...sign of the dog, walking in the door, he found ...an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, the throw rug was against one wall, In the front room the TV was on loudly with the cartoon channel, the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a novel... She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?' She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?.. ''Yes," was his incredulous reply.. She answered,. 'Well, today I didn't do it. :)
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.

Happy Birthday to ME!
Today is my birthday. I am 47 years old.... and I fill GOOD about it! It is the oldest I have ever been, yet the youngest I will be for the rest of my life. Strange philosophy I know... but I am a strange 47 year old. Recently just losing my Daddy.. I realized something... even though I already knew it, I think it just re-confirmed it for me. I know life is precious... I KNOW that we don't have forever, and I look at 47 as still alive and kicking and blessed with more time to love my family, explore more possibilities and realize more dreams! When I ask myself if I would like to be in my 20's again I say HELL NO! They were not easy years.... But 30's were pretty great! And my 40's have been pretty great too! I think it is about attitude, you either have a good one or you don't. But if you don't have a good attitude then the rest of your life isnt' going to be good either. So even though I have notice more wrinkles and taking vitamins is about necessity now. I have friends that died at 15, 18, 21, 35, 39, 49...some missing getting a license, graduating from school, getting married, watching their families grow, having grandchildren... I am glad that I have been blessed to live 47 years.

Ducks in a Row
We got the contract in the mail today, signed it and mailed it back. Hope it closes! So frustrated at this point I have no faith in people. I thought contracts were suppose to insure a sale...instead all they do is create false hope followed by depression. People should have their ducks in a row before they make offers on houses... No... going back even farther... they should have their ducks in a row before the LOOK at houses and they should look at houses in their range bracket! Our first offers were so far off the mark we didn't even entertain them. Then people would offer a realistic price, then got a loan for only half! I need my faith restored in the human race for this house selling business... So I hope this family can see this through. I need this time to be THE time. It's a great house... they are getting a great deal... and I am tired of having false hope!
