I Missed Gay Pride Day

6/25/2007 07:18:00 PM 1 Comment »

I hope one day that everyone will be able to marry whomever they want, regardless of their gender, and no one will give a damn. The definition of family should just be a group of people who come together in love. I'm weary of right-wing conservatives imposing their beliefs on the masses.

So, although I am not gay, I support everyone's right to love, get married and create a family. Happy Pride Day Everyone! Write to your Congressmen and tell them your beliefs!! Right Now.

He's Such a Big Boy

6/24/2007 10:43:00 AM 4 Comments »



My little man is getting so big! Today is his fourth birthday!! When he was born, he was only six pounds, six ounces. After two months of nursing, he weighed 15 pounds! In the picture on the top, he was only four months old! And now, for the past year or so, he has been a pound an inch. So now, he's 42 inches and 42 pounds. Time is going by so fast. He is getting big and rough and smart. He wants to read and play outside and do all the big boy things his brothers do. I remember cradling him and kissing his fat little cheeks while he was bundled in his blankie. I remember making coffee at the business while he was nestled in his snugglie on my chest. I also remember that his cry was the fiercest of my boys' cries. He had this way of hitting some inner nerve in my head with that cry. That may be why he is so spoiled. When he cried, everyone rushed to give him whatever he wanted, just to stop the shrieking! Happy birthday, my little man. I love you so very much, and you make me so very happy.
Peace Out,
Mom

Dads

My Father's Day post is a little late this year. These three men effected my life in different ways. My dad taught me what a man is supposed to be. He taught me how a man should treat his family. When I was younger, and in the throes of my teenage years, I would often scream and shout and say that I hated him. Looking back, I know those words hurt him, even though I don't think he'd ever admit it! When my kids were born, I realized just how much I put him through. He is such an invaluable part of our lives now. He is still a great dad, a great grandfather, and a wonderful husband to my mom. My husband says he's not too shabby as a father in law, either!

My Father-in-law raised my husband to be a wonderful man, so I must give tribute to him, as well. He passed away last year, and I don't think our lives will ever be the same. My husband has changed since then, and it has changed the way we all think about life and love. When I knew him, he was quiet most of the time, but never afraid to offer up his opinion. He held strong beliefs and I admire him for that. When he passed, the curch overflowed with people who had come to pay their final respects; that has to say something about how well-liked he was.

My husband is just awesome. He is a wonderful provider and an amazing father and husband. I write about him on here all the time because he is just so fun to spend time with and he makes me happy. I'm not one of those freaky women that maks her life revolve around her husband, but I do enjoy spending my free time with him. He's fun! He is raising my sons to be good men and showing them what a father is supposed to be, which is so important!

SO...Happy Belated Father's Day!!!
Peace Out,
Mom

It's Summer

I was driving back to work this evening, listening to my John Legend CD, when I noticed that dandelion petals were blowing in the breeze. I was stopped, waiting to turn right and I was next to a hillside covered with wild brush. Of course, it is a beautiful day in Sunny San Diego, about 76 degrees with a wonderful breeze, and I am sitting in my car with the air conditioner running. So, I rolled down the windows and felt the glorious breeze blowing through the passenger-side window and rushing over me. In came the dandelion petals and I looked to my left to watch them tumbling over the hoods of the cars stopped at the light. I wondered how many people noticed.

Now peace is so hard to find
We're terrorized and victimized
But that's when I close my eyes
And think of you to ease my mind
You take me to another place
There's no more war (no more war)
Just love and grace
Baby you restore my faith
I know the struggle's not in vain
You know and I know
Through all the battles
Baghdad to Israel
There's one thing I know for sure

When it's cold outside
There's no need to worry cuz
I'm so warm inside
You give me peace
When the storm's outside
Cuz we're in love I know
It'll be alright
Alright it's alright

It's amazing that, even in the middle of all of the rush and worry of real life, I can feel the love of my family and the glory of life all around me. My husband is the light and heart of my life. I listen to John Legend and I hear my husband. I hear my sons' laughter and see their smiles. On the way to work, while driving the same ordinary path I always drive, dandelion petals tumbled over my car today.
Peace Out,
Mom

Life

I have some time on my hands. I'm applying for other part-time jobs because the Writing Center hours are limited in the Summer, and I need money. I was thinking last night about how I hate the idea that money rules most of what we do. I want things, and even though those things don't directly cost money, they need money to work. For example, I really want another baby. Really. The boys talk about it all the time, too. And I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't have another one after I turned 35, which is two years away. Not only for my health and the health of the baby, but because who wants an old mommy and daddy?
I also need to finish school.I want to get on with my life. BUT, I don't know how much school I could get done with a new baby. I don't know. Maybe I'm incredibly selfish.
Really, I'm very happy. My family rocks and my marriage is just wonderful. My husband is the best. We have begun the process to have him adopt the big boys. They have considered him their dad for so long, it seems silly to have to jump through all these hoops to make it happen. It's time that they have his last name. We're a family.
Anyway, everything is good. Just thinking out loud.
Peace Out,
Mom

End of the Soccer Season...

6/09/2007 01:26:00 PM 0 Comments »

Oh, the soccer season is over. They had their playoff game today. They were tied for first place, but after a very exciting game, they lost. No worries, they played really well and my boy is getting bettter every week. The next season doesn't start for a whole year, so we are thinking about putting him in AYSO. I liked this league because they weren't overly competitive and it was a lot of fun. Maybe next year, I'll coach. I may have gotten bitten by the soccer bug!;-) His dad was so excited and kept running down the field coaching him on. It was so cute! I think he wanted to jump onto the field to help him out! Anyway, our boy took it really well and is ready to play another season.
Next month, football season starts for our oldest. I can't wait to see how that turns out. I'm letting him start in eighth grade because he wants to play in high school, but I think he needs an early start. His dad is really excited about football because he played in high school. To be honest, I'm a little nervous. We'll see!
Peace Out,
Mom

My honey

Our anniversary was yesterday, and we had a great weekend celebration!!! We got a hotel room overlooking beautiful San Diego Bay and had dinner at Seaport Village. This last year has been a test of our marriage, and it seems as if we came out of it stronger than ever. We had such a great time together and I feel like we really connected again. I think it's important to get back to that place every once in a while...The place where you remember why you got married in the first place. We got married because he's awesome! He's such a great father, a wonderful provider, he's my very best friend, and he rocks in the sack!;-) So, I can't wait to see what the next 50 years has in store for us. It is such a great roller coaster ride, and I'm so happy that I bought the tickets to the theme park!!! Happy Anniversary, honey. You make my life interesting and a lot more fun!!
Peace Out,
Mom
