Let's Talk!

Gosh, I love this song!

I just want to get you in the mood to be here!

I love Matt Maher's music!

I especially love this song. 

This song came on during my 30 minute treadmill walk,

last week

and I broke down crying (but kept walking)

It's just so powerful.

He is in front of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, 

which is why he's kneeling, 

with the Holy Father!!  

(for World Youth Day in July)

Powerful, I tell you, makes me want to fall down on my knees.

(but that makes it hard to walk on the treadmill)

 Speaking of walking,

I just had my last cup of International Foods French Vanilla Coffee today.

Last, because it takes up like 9  Weight Watcher 

points when I have a big cup like this for breakfast.

I like having this for breakfast because I don't have to think about what I want

I just make it and teach school while I drink it.

But

It's really not healthy for me at all.

It's just a pleasure.

I can give it up, right?

(OH, and the Weight Watcher thing, I"m trying, it's just that 

Halloween happened)

Speaking of Halloween, I find this funny.

Am I a mean parent?

(I didn't do this, I just find it funny)
(and kind of sick and sad at the same time)

 How about some cuteness?

I know, it's been a while!

The kids are doing great!

These little cuties are best of friends!

Here I am trying to get a pumpkin picture...

 "Simeon, sit down."

 He's escaping...

 "OK, there you go, hold the little pumpkin!"

 "OK, get a good grip, now look at mama!"

 "Whoa!  It's not a ball!"  Can you hear everyone laughing? 

 (they are, and they are running after the rolling pumpkin!)

Look at his face!! 

OH, hahahhahahahahahahahahaha!!!

OH, you little stinkpot!

He is SO FULL of personality folks, 

It's wonderful.

 One of my most favorite parts of the Mass.

 Full House!!!

We DVR a bunch of these during the night, 

to watch whenever

I LOVE it. 

This TV family is so wholesome to watch,

they do not make the parents look stupid, like the Disney shows do

 When Uncle Jesse married Becky

there was a show all about moving in together 

after they were married!!!!!

I know, right?!!!

 Boots.

I like these boots.

 I am not stylish at all.

But if I were, 

and if I had money,

I'd so wear these.

 Love this.  

It's so simple.

I do not understand in the least why this is even an issue.

 Oh, gosh, I feel this in my deep yearning for God daily.

Each time I pray, or go to Mass, or Adoration,

I can't wait til the next time!

 Since it snowed last night...

(it melted today, but it's coooold outside!)

 Now, I'm going to get myself in trouble with people.

That is not my intention, really it is not.

FACEBOOK

I like it for many things

Seeing my cousins and their kiddos

seeing my aunties, especially the ones that live far away.

I love it for religious things, images, pictures and quotes.

I like it for news worthy things and funny things

I do not check it with a phone, 

I check it like I check emails, 

you know, with a computer, at a desk, in my home.

I don't like it for the fact that I probably check it too much

I don't like it for the fact that I go to the computer to do something,

but my absent minded, mom induced ADHD distracts me and 

I end up doing nothing, except scroll down to see the 

"instant" 

The instant life

is passing by.

Talk about fast paced.
I need to slow down.
Don't we all?
I need to blog again,
I think blogging vs Facebook
is just slower.

I think I use Facebook for the wrong reasons.

I like to "LIKE" things.  

In fact, if you know me at all, 

I'd love to "LOVE" lots of things.  

Like almost everything that my friends post.

But the problem with that, is

when I really like something, since there is no "LOVE" button

to "love", I "SHARE" it.

I share it because in my mind, I'm saying to the original person,

"Yeah, alright!!  I agree with you!! SO much that I'm going to SHARE it!"

Problem with that is

sometimes those things offend others.

Which is not my intention.

like immunizing.

Way back when we had our first baby,

I met people that did not immunize.

At the time, I did not even know there was a huge debate about it.

I just asked "why don't you?"

Then we researched.

I did not get defensive

or mad

of huffy at all.
I was curious.
So I asked questions.

Why do people get huffy towards me? 

I don't want to debate anyone.

This is what we choose for now.
(to not immunize)

It's because of things like 

This recent article

This article confirms that MMR 

was confirmed to cause Autism in some children.

Isn't this good news?

Good news, because they can work on making better, healthier vaccines?

That's all I want, healthy vaccines.

Vaccines that have less side effects than the actual disease it is trying to prevent.

A bigger issue here is the fact that vaccines contain aborted fetal cells
but they are working on making them without them,
thank God!
See an updated vaccine list without aborted babies cells:
HERE

I don't really care what other people do or don't do.

I guess I do, I guess I find it interesting, 

not maddening, or anything.  

 This is interesting.

This is concerning, isn't it?

If it's not to you, that's fine, I don't want to argue with you

But if you find it interesting, let's talk about it.  

talk, not argue, not judge.

We all want what is best for our own children.

I trust you are making the decisions that work for you.

Can't you trust me too?

I'm still posting religious images, prayers and quotes on 

my Facebook page, but am really trying to not "like" things 

that make other people mad.

I'm trying to not comment, or ask questions of others when we 

differ on things, because I'm taken wrong. 

I just want to talk.

Calmly.

So, I'm sorry if I made anyone mad.

 OK, onto lighter things again.

Wouldn't these be fun to make for a Grinch Stole Christmas movie night?

 I am so tempted to do this, 

in fact when my kids scrub the floor

I almost always think of Cinderella.

(which I guess, you know who that makes me)

 A pointless job.

I know, I'm all over the place tonight.

Here, I'll leave you with some cuteness.  

My little cuties.
