Merry Christmas!

Do you ever?

Do you ever feel like somone is living the life you will soon live or dreamed of living? This question is on my mind constantly......
Like someone is living your dream, your passion, your obsession? I have a wonderful life don't get me wrong....but sometimes i just wonder the unknown. I have so many cravings that I long to fullfill before I die. Certain places I want to spend a good soulfull amount of time in. Certain people I want to meet, understand their way of life, goals, and stories. Knowledge I want to absorb like some kind of addiction. Life is full of so many opportunities, adventures, an outlook you never even knew possible till it hit you right in the face. I've always had that utmost desire for that independent, secure way of life..... Just the feeling of no insecurites, no one to answer to..the space inbetween where there is just that blissful content atmosphere. A heavenly feeling, a calm feeling, all questions answered, no judgement passed kind of world. I know this exists, i've dreamt about it; not only in my dreams but the feelings I get daily brings these images to my mind.
It's almost as if I was chosen to do something but have not quite figured it out...or if I had done that vary thing in a previous lifetime.

So it seems I have many things on my list before I go......and will stop at nothing....and neither shoud you! ;)

so dissapointed...in...

The grandkids dedicated this special song to my grandmother.

My GREAT grandmother and best friend passed away this last monday. It was very hard, because I was there to see her take her very last breath. She was my everything and supported me through some very rough times in my life. She was the best example of someone that had unconditional love for everyone especially her grandkids. She made everyones lives better by just knowing them, and infected everyone with her radiating smile and personality. She was so selfless and would do anything for her family just to see them smile. I'm happy that she is now with my Grandpa Reid in heaven. I will miss her sososososososo much, and will forever be proud to call her my grandma and bestfriend.
This is a poem I wrote a few months ago for her, I never got to give it to her but had the oppurtunity to recite it at the funeral. I love you grams...

We know her as Grandma,
Granny or Gram.
But, if you look closely,
you’ll see she’s more than….

A name or a title,
oh what’s the word?
Wait…
OH yah that’s it,
She truly is great!

She’s one of a kind,
A gem that’s so rare.
If the weather is bad,
Oh she’s baggin her hair!

And oh, don’t you worry,
she’s keeping it real.
With her gangsta G style,
she is a big deal!

One sweat pant rolled up,
And the other one down.
Watch out hammer man,
Granny G came to town!

With her Chubby Construction Hoodie,
she’s leading the way.
All the grandmas are jealous,
cause Granny G’s here to stay!

Her house is full of everything,
you could ever need.
From recycled rubber bands, paperclips,
and spoons from Wendy’s!

Cheesecake was her thing,
and delicious t’was
With gram crackers galore,
she’d make just because!

OH and how dare you forget
in her purse was not loot
From mentos, to winterfresh
or my fav juicy fruit!

And when she was mad,
in a calm cursing way.
“OH good go to hell.”
was the worst she would say!

She’s the most honest person,
you will ever meet.
She takes back her groceries
when they didn’t charge the meat.

She would often take walks,
3 miles or so.
and pick up the pennies
and trash as she’d go!


She’ll stay on the line,
and won’t end the call.
Till she’s sure you’ve hung up…
then calls it quits after all!

Gram’s a good person,
and hardly did sin.
But, her greatest sin of all,
was sneaking trash to the neighbors bin!

In all her families wallets,
you’ll find some green from her.
A two-dollar bill stashed,
for an emergency, if ever there were.

Granny beams w/ light,
when she speaks of Grand-pa.
How handsome he was,
and the cartoons he would draw.

The jokes he would tell,
and the way he loved her.
Reid was his name,
and a man of his word.

Visiting Gram in high school,
was food for my soul.
Would consist of skim milk and granola,
mixed in a bowl.

Birthdays were fun,
when Grandma was there.
A present from her,
always came in a square.

With yarn tied around,
a mini card and a bow.
You knew it was hers,
t’was made special you know.

As a little girl,
I just couldn’t wait,
for grandma to get me,
on our weekly Wendy’s lunch date!

Though driving was fun,
and embarrassing news.
Hey going 20 in a 50,
you would be too.

Memories of Grandma,
Oh Granny, oh Gram.
Are special to me
And the rest of the FAM!

OH Grandma is grand,
OH golly gee wiz!
I’ll remember her always
and what a beauty she is!

My cute Great Granny is not well. Please pray for her.

The Way we WEre...;'(

So I need to vent. kinda.

Some of you may now that I have theeeeeeee 2 cutest sisters on this planet. Certain recent incidents and not so recent incidents have made it so I cannot see either one of them. Not that I dont love my brothers as much its just that my sisters and I have always had a super huge bond that I didn't have with my brothers..

Me and my sister B have always been the best of friends...I begged and begged my mom when I was eight for a sister.....and that day I got her was one of theee most amazing days of my life...funny huh? Don't worry that scares me one day that Jurni will do the same too me..

Anyway...I carried her everywhere and she was huge,,,,and i mean huge. I insisted on taking care of her and worried constantly if she was alright or sick or whatever it may be I was more like a mom to her than a sister and it's continued to be that way ever since...to the point that it hurts our relationship sometimes rather than betters it. Anyway... Since I lived full time with my dad and only got to see her on weekends it was so hard for me. We always kept a close bond until she started going into full throttle adolescence mode. and she just cannot get out. So this is where the mom way of thinking has hurt our relationship. I miss the way we were and hope it looks up soon....I know she will come back to me....

and I hope that one day she can see my take on the situation and realize my reasonings and why I say and do some things out of the love and protection i have for her.

As for Aspen poo....We have the same bond that Rikki and I did.... what big sister gets to cut the umbilical cord and put the first diaper on and give her her first bath...? Ok maybe not every big sister dreams of doing so.. but it was a priveledge to me.

She is growing more and more beautiful every day that I don't get to see her. She is the most beautiful little girl in the whole world, and I'm lucky that JUrni got some of her cute jeans.... I get to see her in JUrni everday and that puts a smile on my face.. I want to be there and do big sister things more than ever and My kids are missing out on the Aunties as well and that hurts too. I hope things can get resolved sooner than later.... If not don't be surprised if you happen to see a police chase or kidnapping on the news anytime soon....

so today....

I just dont care.....so bring on the...



and the.....

I'm sure Ill regret it tomorrow..... but for now.....it's gonna get messy....
