Before I start my blah blah blogging, I must correct some information that I may have mis-lead people with.....
I am sorry if I confused people by thinking that the life of Home & Heart is continuing into 2009.
Not that it isn't...but no decisions have been made yet. There will be the issue coming in May.... here is the picture again
( in case you forgot)
and then, another in August that is chock full of fall holidays....and then maybe, another issue in November.
For now, that is it for 2008.
Based on the sales for "Pink Girl" issue on newsstands now....
(okay, here is a little picture) ....
2009 plans will be made...
As of right now, there are no subscriptions available for the magazine...because it is quarterly, I guess. I think...actually, I am not sure, and that sounds dumb of me to say, but I will check into that....maybe pre-sales should have been done...hmmm....
Okay, onto more fortified blogging...
I don't like roller coasters. never have, although in One Month to Live, Kerry & Chris ask us to embrace life like a roller coaster...breathtaking, fast, ups and downs...take it all in...and embrace each moment...
I prefer ric-rac. HEY, there is BIG ric rac, so I am open to a ric rac thrill ride...I am just a bit CHICK-en with alot of things, which I have been having discussions about this past week.
Reading this book, just like in Dangerous Surrender, and the verse I taught yesterday, I am remind to use & rely on my faith, and the One Month to Live book is encouraging me to exercise my thrill ride skills...because as of right now, I have none.
I have other skills...just not roller coaster skills.
So, it has been a little of an emotional week...nothing too major, but just things that have happened that make you stop, cry, think, wish, reflect....one being that my little first born boy Jack (picture, age 2)
is staring testing his skills as a teen-ager. We had Jr. High orientation & elective night and although this is the boy that will give his mom a kiss on the blacktop each morning in front of anyone, is also now the boy that wants his mom to wait outside the elective classroom, or better yet...just wait at the car. whhhhaaaatttttt? All of the other parents were there...actually going into the classrooms....BUT...I am the ultra involved, over involved, too involved mom to just say "okay"
but, I did.
John & I stood outside the classroom...sorry, I am NOT going to the car.... yes, it hurt my heart, but I think that these are just growing pains. and really, it is not about me. The part of the growing pains that I am having the hardest time with at the FEMALE pains...and I realize that although I am a girl, my mom & sister are girls...my mother-in-law, my nieces, sister-inlaw, and my friends are girls...others than that....
I don't like pre-teen girls, well, actually, I LOVE a handful ..coincidently I spoke with those girls moms that night...the rest, at least for now, that are calling and screaming when they see Jack, need to start scrap booking or playing sports or something. Seems the only things kids do these days is talk on the phone and it has become my big pet peeve. Why do all of the kids feel the need to talk on mobile phones, no matter where they are...what the Heck do they have to talk about????and WHY are the parents letting them do it?
Apparently, from what Jack has said to me (because right now, he knows just about everything there is to know about everything) I am the ONLY....that absolute only mom, that is strict.(insert the giggling wicked witch sound)..and over protective, and wont let her kid have a phone. (I know I am not and just need to stop trying to get the last word in with him) (I hope Denise is reading this...she is going to giggle out loud)
I bought"What to expect when you are expecting"....I read "What To Expect the First Year" and I had "What To Expect the Toddler Years"...
why did they stop there? "Where is the What to Expect the Teenage Years....."
oh Calgon...where are you when a mom needs you?
okay all of this teenager stuff (even though Jack is really ONLY 12 1/2) is making me cranky and it is supposed to be a BEE-U-TEE-FUL day....and it is Friday..so off I go into the day....
I am going to take all of this cranky energy and go the the gym...or go for a run...or something...then, I am going to get my haircut...and then...I am going to create a bunch of you-never knows....
Oh Goodness.....Let pray for a good day!!!!!
