Thank You For Following

Just wanted to say thank you to my followers. Hope you enjoy reading the scattered thoughts that are applied in my blogs. It is funny where your mind can take you when you block all business from your thoughts.
I also hope you try and enjoy the links to other interesting blogs as my daughter expands her wisdom in beautiful poetry. She is very talented and maybe something good can come from her postings. Yes, I am a proud Mama. LOL.
The Lil Bear Store link is a new territory for us also. My grandson and I were playing around on the net and came across this web sight where you can create a store. So, we are trying it out. He sat in my lap and helped with choosing the product types for this store . And therefore it is named after him as I've called him lil bear since day one. Please let us know what you think and if there are products that need to be added for your interest.
Once again, thank you for visiting and keep on coming back!

My Sister

My sister is my pal,

she's been there for me through everything.

She gives me strength,

and determination to keep things going.

My sister is my friend,

always there when I need an ear to bend.

She listens and then tells me

her honest opinion in the end.

My sister is my sister,

bossy one minute and silly the next.

This is my sister,

whom i love and continually depend.

My true friend.

My Children

As I think about my children,

my life seems blessed;

I gave birth to two but raised four

and was put to the test.

They are all grown now and mostly on their own,

I'm proud of the men and women

they have become.

They're living their lives and doing

their own thing,

but geesh, how many times is my phone going to ring?

It makes feel good when they call,

to know i still count, after all.

Lord Help Me!

Things can seem so complicated but you have to remain dedicated.

Even after it seems like all hope is lost,

you still have your family which has no cost.

I look to god and pray,

"Lord help me make it through another day",

and even with no pay he seems to always find a way.

I thank him each and every day,

cause no matter, what we have a place to stay

and a dinner plate at the end of the day.

So remember to keep God by your side

and you to will soon realize,

that no matter what, when all is lost, he is still there

picking up the pieces and wiping away your tears,

then giving you a push to survive another year.

money, is there ever enough?

Do we ever have enough money? I'm starting to think not. It seems that those who have always want more or are complaining that what they have is not enough. How can someone who has a five or more digit balance in their banks say they are broke when talking to someone who is living paycheck to paycheck and still not making ends meet. Whats worse is when , after telling you they are broke, they load up in their prevost rv with the kids and go on vacation to some resort that you can only dream about. How many people out there know what I'm talking about? I'm fairly sure that most of you are like me and just trying to survive in this economy. I don't begrudge those that have lots of money their status in our world. But they don't have to tell me they are broke until they try my shoes for awhile. Like most households , we are jobless at this point and "robbing peter to pay paul" is getting harder to do. But there is a silver lining for all of us somewhere out there in the world. All we need to do is hold on for a little while longer and search til we find it. For some, that could be working for yourself, or going back to school ,or whatever you think is your path that you need to take. Maybe you have some college under your belt, but like me,didn't finish what you started. Maybe a home base biz on the net is more our speed. For me, I will check into all these options. How about you?

new game

Well this is a new game for me. In this adventure of sorts I will be trying a new type of life and experiences. Hopefully it will be as interesting to you as it will be adventerous for me. I not one to talk about my inner feelings or opinions. My blogs will consists of all sorts of topics, from personal thoughts to whatever is happening in the world to life experiences . I am a middle-aged woman with a husband and children. Life has had some mind blowing shocks the past few years but I have survived it all . My children are my pride and joy and I will probably repeat that often. LOL . I am currently a stay at home memaw and am enjoying the time I can spend with Scott justing watching him grow. I am also trying the new found freedom of surfing the net for all its opportunities for people like me, instead of just paying bills and such . One never knows the range of the internet til you start searching for what it has to offer.

odd form of relief

I had a rude awaking a week ago. As a working part of my household , which includes a four year old , my life is busy. The job I was working was mostly hard labor and at my age I was finding it more difficult to do. My health was starting to concern me, especially since my bout with pneumonia . The four year old just started pre-k this past year so there was more colds and fevers than usual . Needless to say i missed a few more days of work than most , but i was hired with the knowledge that i was a "working memaw" of sorts and would miss work if my child was sick . So, with the economy the way it , jobs as scarce as they are , why am i not that upset that my job was terminated after missing three days this past week for staying home with Scott for running a very high fever ?
Is it because I had already told them during the hiring process that when my children are sick they are my number one priority? Or is the fact that it was getting harder to do the back breaking manual labor I was constantly given ? My heart tells me that it was a little of both with a touch of needing a change in my life . I am more at peace after getting out of that type of job than I have felt in awhile. Even though there is still the stress of not having that paycheck , I know that I will be fine. The reason for that is , I still have my children whom I will always put first . They are the greatest gift I have ever received , my blessings on earth. In a word, thank you to my former employer for letting me go so that I can keep my priorities straight. There are more important things to do in life than just keeping a job for the pay and that is family and health and love of thyself . I know that I will find another occupation and hopefully it will be what I've been soul searching for .
