Random Ramblings

How old is Amanda? That is a very cute picture. You should print an 8 x 10 of it.

Good stuff. They both are great looking kids.

Sick? You aren't pregnant again are you?

I think that is probably a good thing for your body.

great looking kids you got Tab,
and you did for sure a great job of teaching them "love for family is above all'. By looking at the picture I feel tearing up. The body language and the peace in they faces, clearly shows that these two are deeply connected.
I would say Matt has a friend/sister 11 years older to love him and protect him for life

thanks for sharing Tab


PS
I hope you feel well soon Tab.

That's a terrific picture!

Thank you Karen. I can't take credit for it though. Niki took this picture!

That wasn't me...but you're welcome nonetheless!

BTW - I agree with the whole being a stay-at-home Mom thing. My Mom worked. I was a "latch key kid." I HATED it. I remember clearly the day she got off work early when I was in 3rd grade. That's how much it meant to me to have her home when I got home.

From that day on, I vowed that if I ever had kids, I would do whatever I could to ensure that I would be at home with them. So far, my plan has worked out magnificently well!

Oooooh, okay!

Too true. I got pregnant with my son when I was a 17 year old Junior in high school, though. It wasn't exactly planned...I just got lucky with the being able to be home with him...and now his sister.

I was pretty freakin' scared for a while...but then once I knew I had the support of my parents - especially my Mom, I was able to relax a bit and enjoy the pregnancy & being a Mom.

My Mom was pretty amazing when I was pregnant. She won a $1000 shopping spree from a radio station, and she spent a good portion of it on baby stuff for Jameson.

Bottom line is that my Mom drives me absolutely mad on a daily basis, but I love her to death and don't know what I'd do without her.

Sorry...didn't mean to go off again. I guess the conversation struck a nerve or something. :shrug:




But yes - love is totally limitless! That's one of the perks of being a Mom. We get to learn more about life & love. Or at least, that's how I like to see it.

Don't get me wrong...my Mom's pretty freakin' rude to me A LOT of the time. It's just that no matter how rude & nasty she can be, I still love her unconditionally. I think that's how it's supposed to be with Moms, though...unless they're overly abusive or something. Then, I can totally understand a lack of love.


H00ray for making you smile! You have a pretty smile, so I'm sure the people around you appreciate it.

I have a 360, too! Do you have XBox Live? If so, we could perhaps chat on there sometime...or if we have the same game, we can play together! That'd be so fun, huh?!

I'm so happy that you feel better! I don't know how Mugs & you can stand to live apart like that. It would drive me nuts...I'm just not capable of doing that, I guess. I've always moved in with boyfriends or vice versa right away for some reason. Stupidity & naivety, I suppose.

Anyway, yeah...you can't get Grandma sick, so you're doing the right thing - no matter how wrong it feels. Once you're all better & can see her again, it'll be awesome.

Well, XBox Live is a paid service. It hooks ya' to the Net so you can play w/ friends & whatnot.

The graphics...:drool:...I KNOW!

I have the Lego Indiana Jones/Kung Fu Panda set, too!

We got ours off of Craigslist...it had a shit-ton of games with it. Really good deal. It'd have cost A LOT more at the store.

We only paid $200 for ours and it came with two wireless controllers, games, and everything else!

No way!
