Dragon Tales


"I wish I wish
With all my heart 
To fly with dragons
In a land apart"

If you don't know where that saying comes from then honestly I think you are crazy, but I will tell, you so you aren't completely lost this whole blog, it's from Dragon Tales a cartoon that comes on PBSkids. I remember the first time I ever saw Dragon Tales, of course I was at my Mom-Mom's in her living room probably with no cable back when we actually had to play with toys after our cartoons were over. I was searching on Netflix for shows that Alaina can watch and I come across Dragon Tales now she as of right now doesn't seem to really care for it but I know it will grow on her, I also have watched more episodes then she has but it's only because she has been sleeping most of today. I am going to get off here have a lot I have to get ready for work tomorrow. So, I will leave you with one more saying.

"I wish I wish
To use this rhyme 
To go back home
Until next time"

Some pictures to share

For many years, for many months, for many weeks, and for many days
You have asked for a Blog post, or even just some pictures
As I was looking I came across two photos that aren't quite cliche
I am not doing this out of spite but just for a laugh not for peoples insight

Lets go back and see some things from the past
The good and the bad but lets just think
How much I would take to just go back to the days these pictures were taken and when time went to fast
Or how things use to look before you found out you had a handy man


For example the picture right above shows all the blue 
This is the kitchen I grew up in
How old and tacky, now we have something new
Time for new memories with the updated look all you did was give Ben a book

This also shows true colors of some
That being uptight isn't always fun
It's nice to get a laugh from things in your past
Also look at that there is no sun

Now there is just one more and then we can be done
This one is so much fun
I miss the times with these little ones
Just five weeks apart but they are just alike sometimes at heart 


Remember the times before flat top overs where in our homes
The times where we ran and played and didn't have phones
The times where time-outs and spankings were aloud
The days and nights when we would all hang out

I want these times back
I wish Thanksgiving and Easter were family times again too
When gas wasn't so high and we came to see you all the time
I miss the trips and even the long boring car ride

These pictures aren't to hurt
They are to remind that we all have our own ways
Threw everything family is all that matters at the end of the day
The saying is still true to the day "Home is where your heart is"

Tonight or tomorrow or even in a few weeks
When we both are missing our phone calls, coffe, tea, our brains and even the show Lost
Maybe we should take a minute to remember
We all are always home together because our hearts are never far apart

As tears run down my face now
Because I miss these times
I want you all to remember something
It isn't about the size of your heart, the blood in the family, or how much money you have it's about being there for one another

I love you,
Thank you for driving me so much about doing this and keeping on my back. Remember I am always home with you because in my heart you stay. 


Living Alone

I have came to the conclusion that being alone in a house with just me and Alaina is very lonely. Yes, I love the ups to it my own space, not having 7 other peoples advice on what to do with Alaina, and well my mom not telling me to clean my room every five minutes. Honestly though I hate the quite, not having someone to make me dinner, putting dishes in a dishwasher and getting to unload them (boy did I think I would ever miss the day of unloading a dishwasher but I do I really really do,) well and not having so many closets to pick clothes from. Also, I have learned that housekeeping isn't that much fun and I know why my mom didn't like and still doesn't like when we wouldn't pick up our messes, because Alaina never picks up her toys or her clothes she sometimes even just throws her sippy cup down and leaves it there WITH MILK DRIPPING OUT. Oh, do I know why I miss living at home, it is a change coming from a house of 8 people total to an apartment with only two. I do have respect now for dishwashers, washer and dryers in your house, shower heads that you can take off the hook, painting, being aloud to own a pet, and also a self cleaning oven with a flat stove top. I could vent all day bout how much I want to go "home" but I also know I wouldn't give up my room for anything right now. Speaking of living alone, I need to pick up and put my laundry away (that my mommy so kindly did for me) before I bring Alaina home.
