October 3rd

This year has flown by. I think that the older you get, the faster times goes by. You forget to stop and smell the roses as you age. I love to watch the little guys have fun and enjoy life. They are still innocent and haven't been affected yet by the crap that is this world sometimes. BUT, I must say, not all is bad. I can find a lot of things to be thankful for. God, my husband-at times LOL, my children, shelter, food, clothes, good friends, family, the fact that me and my siblings grew up to be friends instead of the brats who hated each other growing up.

Brody just got on the bus, Stacy and Kylie left within 5 min. of each other a bit before that. It is really quiet here but that is not all bad. I really need a nap. I have half a headache. It is like my head is split in half from front to back and the whole left side hurts. The head hurts, my ear hurts, my mouth hurts and my face hurts-all on the left side. Last time I felt like this, it was my right side and I ran to the doctor demanding a cat scan. I always think the worst and it happened to be shortly after my Dad died from brain cancer with a tumor that started on his right side. Well, I had a cat scan to find out that I had a sinus infection. Not bad, a 700.00 test (I really don't know how much-I am guesstimating) to diagnose a sinus infection. This time, I am going to drink lots of water and get some more rest. Even my gums hurt, my glands hurt, and also only on the right side of my head.

My new favorite shows this season are Back to you with Kelsey Grammar and Patricia Heaton, How I met your mother, and Two and a Half men, The biggest loser-which I was watching last week while eating cheetos (doh), and CSI las vegas. That is the only CSI I like. I hate the Florida based one only because I cannot stand Horatio. He is arrogant and knows everything. If not for his character, I would watch it. The CSI NY is another one. I used to like Gary Sinese but again, I don't like his character. I love the reality crime shows and medical shows. I could watch those all the time but I don't like reruns because I like to solve the cases along with the detectives or doctors and if it is a rerun, I already know how it ends, therefore it is no longer fun for me....I am very disappointed because I was a fan of 'the class' and it seems to have been canceled and I am pissed about that. But instead they have rules of engagement with David Spade-I am NOT a fan of the show. David Spade doesn't bother me so much as the show as a whole does. I want to see the class come back and 'New Christine'. I am bummed that Monk, Psych, and the Closer are off season now. If I could only watch 3 shows, those would be the ones.

I have slowly been doing some art projects. Last night I threw away a couple of things I had been working on. I just couldn't do anymore to them and make them look good so in the trash they went.

I love my new camera. I can't wait to get outside and start taking pictures. I love taking them of Brody but if he knows I am, he makes a goofy face. I love pictures of people just doing what they want to do. When Kylie was young, she would go from flat out temper tantrum to smiling in a new york second if someone took a camera out. She was the biggest ham! I don't know that I have a bad photo of her.

I need to go take my morning nap. My head is hurting worse. When I wake up, I need to make phone calls. I hate making phone calls. Even to people I love, I would rather email. I don't know why. Maybe it is that I can do it on my schedule. My mom doesn't have, nor she ever will have, a computer. When Dad was dying, she got rid of it. He used it but she never tried.

Off to my nice warm bed.....the only thing that would make my nap better is a nice rain storm.......ahhhhh.
