Burn Baby, Burn!

Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually who are we not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

blah blah blah

Wintertime fun - who knew we'd still not be in the swing of spring at almost the END of May......

but that's just me...complaining about stupid, dumb shit.

I really didn't have anything to blog about, so I'll just start off by rambling.

That picture actually cracks me up. Gaige with the shovel of snow and her 'Ima throw this on you!' And Bolt in his 'RAAAWWRRRR!' pose.

Kids and dogs....... LOL

My arm hurts. Why? I gave blood today...which is no biggie, I do it all the time, but weirdly, my arm hurts (a lot) and I'm getting a bruise. Ugh.

This is the definition of comfortable:

Who wants to be 'that' cat? LOL

Who needs sleep?

I apparently do not.

grrr. Boo to you, non-sleep fairy. You suck. A lot.

I get up, I watch TV...I hate that. I sit in the dark, listening to the sleeping sounds of the baby. I fidget. If I wake her up, then I'll have hell to pay. I sit in the dining room and think I should read a book. I could swap the laundry, but I'm a 33y.o chicken shit, and I refuse to go into the garage in the middle of the night. I'm still convinced there is someone living in the attic. Stop laughing.

I come back to my trusty computer, my crossword puzzle that is there 24/7. I love my crossword puzzle. I think "hey dummy...you have a blog....you should blog" Ok then! I'll do that. I'll be doing 'something' - can't be that bored, or irritated over the not sleeping, if I'm doing something.

Nah, I'm doing something, yet still slightly cranky. Oh well...maybe I'll laugh about this tomorrow.

Off on a tangent...there are 10, yes 10. T E N kids at my house tonight. I'm like, the coolest mom I know. I let THAT many kids sleep over at once. Yes...I'm patting myself on the back for this one. Kids are really not that much of a bother. But...I will admit that if I had been asked 1!!! more time 'Mom, where is the jigsaw mask so I can scare (insert name here)' I would have lost it on the poor kid.

When you have a queen sized sleeper bed, and you have a 5 y.o and 7 y.o sleeping on it...where do they lay? I know you're wondering. They lay across the very edge at the bottom, practically on top of each other. All that wasted bed......ha!

On a totally crazy, I-should-be-embarrassed-to-admit-this note...I became a HUGE fan of Lady Gaga this week. O_o Yes. I know. Youtube her acoustic stuff.... Changed my cynical mind, like 'Bam!!' that kind of change. She is super talented.

I could go on and on, since it seems like I now have a 2nd wind, but I won't. Gotta save some for the next time.

Ciao.
