Jeff Healey

Jeff Healey passed away today at the age of just 41.

So sad, he was such a talent. He died before the release of his first album in 8 years.

Michael Jackson - Give Into Me feat. Slash

Wow, I forgot about this song. All MJ things aside, I love this song, even today!

Working on Blog

Since everyone had a hard time reading because of the colors on the last layout I decided to change it.

Please bear with me, I'd reverted all my older posts to black to make it readable and now have to redo it in order to read them.
Maybe I should have stuck it out with my old layout! LOL

New Look

I'm dibbling with finding a new look for my blog. It's been exhausting. Due to the fact that I'm a computer dummy I lost all the information I had previous. So if you're name isn't on my links it's not intentional.

How do you like it? Is it too busy?

And Another Thing!

An extension from the post directly below, OK!!

If I don't answer the phone the first time around, why in the hell do you call right back??? Can't you get the hint that I'm either not home or am busy with my 4 children?? If the answering machine picks up and you hear my voice say:

"Sorry but we can't come to the phone now, Please leave a message and I WILL get back to you."

Then leave a freaking message!! Garrr!!! *&@#*$&%^@Q# You know I have caller ID right and that I see exactly who keeps calling over and over.

Remember, I also have your number and I might return those calls at say...I don't know...how does 3am sound??

OK!!

Why is it, when I'm on the phone with someone and I tell them I'm busy, they ignore me and instead proceed to engage me in a long, drawn out, conversation?

It always goes down something like this:

"Hello?" I'm wrangling a child down as I answer, changing a diaper.

"Hey!" says person. "What are you doing?"

"Well," I grab for the wipes with one hand, "I'm trying to change *child's name here*."

"Oh, well I just wanted to see how you were, I'm just sitting here, I have blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah..........."

"Really," I finally get in, "well I have to *insert random chores or things to be done here* I hoped to nap with the kids and I have to get that done first*"

After this point the person will begin to tell me about someone else, tell me about themselves, tell me about work, tell me about a family member, tell me about anything other than letting me get off the damned phone.

So why is it? I know this doesn't happen to just me. And it drives me batty. I've had moments when I've gotten so fed up I've sat the phone down, changed a diaper or finished my chore, went back to the phone, and the person was still there.

What gives people! If I say I have stuff to do, it doesn't mean I have time to talk with you. Don't keep going hoping you'll catch me with a subject of interest, or that I'll forget the too full sink or laundry waiting to be folded. Just do the right thing and say, "Oh, I'll call you back in a little while then and we can talk".

If you can't do this for me, then please, don't be offended when I begin to curse at you because I couldn't balance the phone on my shoulder and accidentally got shit all over my hand and arm. I don't like being covered in feces, do you?

Consider yourself warned.

Bath Time!!

This was before the carpet burn and before the sickness in our home. Arwen isn't pictured because frankly, little boys can show their chests but little girls...no thanks.

For the record, bath time rocks in our house. We have toys and bubbles and all the good stuff. Just make sure you bring a change of clothes, even if you're not the one in the tub, you'll still get soaked!
