School started for Edison today at P3.  He has algebra, science, English, drama and study hall.  Lots of homework will be going on around here.  they told me last week that I don't have to provide samples.l I am happy about that.  Last year I didn't have enough but was able to scrape by with way I had to give them.

So he is at school and am so tired. After I finish sorting the last bit in the classroom, I laid down on the couch with the dogs. Hero and Tug. I tried to sleep. I suppose I did get some rest.  After I got up we (the dogs and I) went for a walk. Stopped by to say hi to Ron and the come home to go get Edison and Eli.

After I picked up the boys from school I dropped Eli off and Edison and I proceeded to Jamba Juice to visit with Gena.  We had an adult conversation while Edison sat against the other wall doing homework.

It was a good adult play date.  Then we bumped into friend from Beauty and the Beast and she told us that auditions were today.  So we ran over to the school to sign up for Annie Jr.  But now that we are home Edison seems to have changed his mind. I don't think he will be having a good audition due to the fact that he is not prepared. I can't do everything for him now that he is almost 12 years old.

He has to want this.  He said he would like to do a song from Fiddler on the Roof but he is sitting in the other room watching TV. Hum. I don't know. I think we may just have a full schedule with out the drama class. Maybe we should wait for next spring to indulge in another musical.

I am tired and have to go cook dinner.  I would like to keep posting things here I will do more, more often. Good day.

Dreaming

Well, this morning I had a dream and Diane was there.  It was so nice to see her.  She looked the same as always.  Edison was there too.  I think she was telling me to let Edison have quality play time instead of yelling at him all the time.  The only thing with that is that he is not getting anything done in a timely manner. 

All I know is that it was nice to see her. 

OH and the other day I was using the iPad and I turned on the camera and hit the button to have the camera fast me and I thought I say something fly out of the frame from above my head behind me.  That was very peculiar. the image I saw was white of a sort.  But it moved so quickly out of the field ov vision I didn't have time to look up or even take a picture. 

Busy today, the in-laws are arriving Wednesday.

Sunny Days are here again

Well, this may be more like a diary then a blog with memories. But that is OK because I think I am the only follower for my own blog. 

The sun was shinning today and I thought about you a lot today.  I know you must have been watching over me yesterday because 2 things happened that only you or one other would have known that that would have bothered me if it went the other way.

I was propping the front door open to bring in the new dishwasher and you closed it for me because I forgot about the bees next that is right by the front door and we didn't want one of those huge bees flying in the house.  Thanks for closing the door. And your hotel mirror...Thank goodness it was facing the other other way when it closed the front door and landed on the floor face up.  I think if it would have landed face down it would have broken in to a million pieces. God knows I didn't need that bad luck.

Chatted with a friend of yours and he misses you too.  Hope you are having fun where ever you are Diane, I miss you.

OH and I miss you too Dad even though it has been like a life time since you died. Every time I mow the grass I think of you teaching me with the mower that had a cord.  Don't run over the cord. I can hear that in the back of my head.

Good night all.

My Father

My father passed away like some 30 years ago.  No we all know that time heals all wounds and that is pretty true in this case.  Granted the pain is not so severe but the thoughts of not having him around to see all my accomplishments is quite the downer. 

He never did see my future husband or any of my sisters either.  We were all late bloomers.  But in some way I feel he is watching over me and my family. 

To be continued.....

I miss you my friend forever

So, I met this elderly lady 4 years ago and I seemed like faith had stepped in and we became instant friends.  She called my her angel and she was one in return to me.  She always had kind things to say to me and never judged me for my mistakes or wrong doings.  She never judged anyone that came across her path.  Her name is Diane and she died January 1, 2012.

Here is a poem that I wrote for her a couple of months before she died.  I wanted her to know how I felt about her.  Just talking about her makes me miss her very much.

You are one in a million, 

Multiplied by two.
You are so dear to me,
It will help me carry through.

Our hearts are connected

By one single little thread.
Just to let you know that you
Are always in my head.

You have been such a bright spark,

In this little life of mine.
You are easy to love,
You really do shine.

So, I will look for you someday,

When I don’t know where to go.
Because I know you will help me,
You have such a loving soul.

I could not ask for a better friend,

Then the one you have become.
Your bright cheery voice on the phone
Is always welcome in my home.

My Dear Sweet Friend Diane,
I am so blessed to have known you

I want you to remember

You are loved by those who know you.

Sleep tight Diane. We will talk in the morning.

If you read this blog, I would love to hear all about that that special one that you lost in your life.  It helps remembering about them easier.  And if it hits you in the right spot it will release some well deserved endorphins.

We all need that release once in a while. It eases the tension that builds up within ones soul.

Thanks, Stacy
