I have tried to blog twice this week, lost twice due to power failure from lightning, and now due to my inability to edit my work correctly.
AAAGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frustrated, you Bet.
As I hate typing.
Sorry, giving it up for tonight folks.

Aqua Swimming

Now they say a good healthy way to stay in shape in Aqua swimming.
So tonight I went, and treaded water, kicked my legs, did my jumping jacks for a hour.
I got out and felt great, a good workout, burned a good 400 calories.
Oh, but so hungry, starving.

SO now I'm angry with this type of exercise, as my stomach growled all the way home, untill it had a big plate of cheesy nachos.

So as you can see all good things lead to evil in some form or another. Even blasted exercise!

The Biting Issue

Tonight my husband and I went out to a movie leaving my two children with a babysitter, and her sister whom is four.
After the movie we come home and ask the sitter about her evening, all went well she informed us.
I go to check on my kids before retiring to bed to find my two year old still awake and whining, he point to his arm where there is clearly a strong imprint of teeth that slighty tore the skin.
The outline of both the top and bottom set of teeth was clearly displayed.
Given I have a five year old that clearly fights with her brother time to time, I question her on the bite, and she informs me it was not her, but the babysitters younger sister whom had bitten my two year old.
I do not always believe my five year old, so before jumping to conclusions, I ask my daughter to bite into a big marshmellow while still leaving it intact. The teeth marks are not a match. Thus the other suspect will be over tomorrow and we will run her through the marshmellow test. I do not need to as the evidence is clear, but in today's society, something as simple as your child bites, can lead into a messy case, therefore all evidence must be presented clearly.

A baby will bite, a toddler I can see, but a four year old, this is not easily dismissed. And so where is Judge Judy?

P.S. My children do not bite, as similiar to that of touching a hot stove, the first time they bite me or my husband the bite back was memorable enough to end the desire.
And what are your comments?

Here is some interesting views on Nostradamus, and the Woman, some believe to be the true Great Mother.

The prophecies of Nostradamus

The Three Great Mothers


"With a name so timid will she be brought forth
That the three sisters will have the name of destiny;
Then she will lead a great people by tongue and deed,
More than any other will she have fame and renown.

Century 1:76

The timid name of woman will be dispelled and she will be raised to greater importance.
The three sisters of womanhood will find their place in destiny:
Then she will lead a great people by word and deed,
And more than any other she will have fame and renown."

Manuela Dunn Mascetti and Peter Lorie
Nostradamus: Prophecies for Women
(Manuela Dunn Mascetti and Peter Lorie, Nostradamus: Prophecies for Women, Simon & Schuster, 1995, p. 75.)



This quatrain has been interpreted to mean "events resulting from the ‘revolt’ on the part of women of the Seline Movement" but this is definitely not the case. It is precisely here that the foundation of the Holy Spirit lies. Nostradamus' vision of the future (his prophecies) originated from spiritual powers that were similar in some respects to yoga. Nostradamus had somehow stumbled upon the latent spiritual powers existing within all humans; "I emptied my soul, brain and heart of all care and attained a state of tranquility and stillness of mind which are prerequisites for predicting . . ." The powers of this state of mind cannot be comprehended by ordinary humans. Nostradamus extracted Knowledge by intuition, without any reasoning or intellect! This Knowledge was given to him by a Higher Power — nothing was his own.

A power I believe we all have but society has limited our ability to become emptied enough in our day to day existance to be able to truly use our innate intuition.

"There is no need to celibate, become vegetarian, eat kosher food, make pilgrimages, undergo penance, or be restricted by any law of the external Idols. The human species must celebrate life and in total freedom enjoy all their social, physical, emotional, and biological functions, and not become recluses, eunuchs or ascetics that shun society in order to remain 'godly.'" Her Message is that humanity must achieve their greatest spiritual growth while leading a perfectly normal existence, and not holed in monasteries and caves. Her relentless Message to all is this: You must become your own master and be forever free. The Truth must set you free to continue this Eternal Journey of this great Circle of Life.

Sri Satya-rupa Shri Nirmala Devi
Pune, India — October 13, 1988

Some believe Sri Satya-rupa Shri Nirmala Devi is the Women Nostradamus refers to. I do not hold strong to that belief, but do find this paragraph interesting in the subject of organized, and culturally restricting spirituality. Spiritualism is not so complicated but simply a result from a need.

May we all find what we need without complicated extras?
All written bold type is my own, the other is material gathered from the book listed above.

Love
Love is a funny thing, as there are different stages of love through out one's lifetime.
There is young crush love, where between 11 and 15 you know your in love because he makes you nervous, giddy and unable to eat your lunch.
There is young teen love, where between 16 and 18 you couldn't live without him, he becomes your whole world, zits and all, he was made just for you.
There is young adult love, is he honest and hardworking, can I trust him, is he stable and secure because your sick and tired of the jobless, lying, cheaten bastards you've been dating ever since teen love?
There is young family love, where he looks so handsome playing lego with his two year old, and you adore him when he's helping with the dishes and laundry. Although on those days he sits idle while your running the household, you could easily cash him in for a new model.
There is mature love, where you have invested so much time and energy in training and tolerating his bad habits, that you would rather go to bed and dream about a better man than running out and finding one.
There is mid-life love, where you go and he goes and may we all meet again in the seniors home.
There is retirement love, where you plant flowers, enjoy the song of the birds, and love the silence, and solitude found with the kids gone and your husband sleeping most of the day.
There is senior's love, where you look at your mate and discover life has passed quickly and you never truly loved because you where too busy just living.

Life is too short to pass up a hug and kiss and a few sweet words?
And what love are you?

Today, I would just like to give Thanks to all my talented friends and family. Life wouldn't be the same without you all. Your are all part of making everyday a little brighter.

Thank You

The Vacuum Guy

There are very few things in life that I truly hate. Hate is a powerful word, and I truly do not hate anyone or anything......but the vacuum Sales Men are the closest I could come to hate.

Yes, they paid a visit the other day. With a promise of a free knife set my husband invited them in.

We watched and listened as he sucked up the dirt from my old carpet into a coffee filter, sucked out the dead skin cells from my pillows, sucked the dust off my television set......Anyway ten filthy coffee filters later my husband was almost convinced.

Though unlike my husband I have been through this before, my own vacuum can dirty coffee filters as well, though I don't go around looking for dirt, or extracting dead skin cells from my mattress just to amuse myself.

So for the sales pitch, he pulled out the dirty filters, explained how unhealthy my home is for raising my children. Telling me that I have created a harmful environment for my children by using a $120.00 vacuum
instead of his healthy home cleaning machine for $2500.00.

Well, I got pissed off, so strolled outside for a moment. As I walked around the driveway, I glanced into the vacuum man's car, this is what I see.
Empty beer bottles in the back seat, the door interior panel gone, chip bags, garbage, and wrappers, pop bottles all over the floor, an over flowing ashtray, and a set of dollar store steak knives on driver seat.
Enough to arm me and my temper.
So when I return to the house I am not gentle with words.

"%^%^%#%$$#Q%^@^*&^&$^%^%#%$@$#@#$"

You can fill in the blanks and in closing I said, Believe it or not but children develop resistance to allergens that they are exposed to.
That is how allergy shots work, so just to insure my children remain strong and healthy I add two tablespoons of dust, and dirt to their morning breakfast cereal everyday. And one can clearly see that you eat a good handful of bullshit everyday to bad I haven't build up my resistance to that. See ya....oh and don't forget my 50cent knives.
Enough Said
Any comments?

Happy Birthday Canada

Off to see the parade,
catch candy.
Get our faces tatooed,
eat candy,
Listen to live music,
eat hotdogs with mustard,
Watch the fireworks,
eat popcorn,
eat more candy,
and kiss my family,
goodnight.
