Burning for You

So much power- able to control the lives of so many, yet it began merely as an insignificant thought in the back on ones mind. It blows my mind at how quickly it can grow to be the most influential part of ones life- it's indescribable potential to warm everything in its path. The intensity grows rapidly as the distance between declines, its true capacity begins to reveal it self. The magnitude reaches an undetectable high, and you discover that the closer you are the more it could hurt when it is ultimately liberated.

Is it all worth the risk?
Depends who you ask I suppose . . .


*funny- from what I've been told, fire and love sound remarkably similar*

My Purple Plate

On Friday I departed on an unknown journey- a journey into the deep wild where the bears and the fish play! (oh boy, I started singing "Home home on the range, where the dear and the antelope play") Our guide was a friend of mine, who claimed camping was just what we all needed. So a few of us (her and I not included) booked off work, packed food and gear and voyaged through back roads to where a camper was set up waiting for us.

However it took us longer to reach or final destination then planned due to a few troubles with meeting time and the canoe which was not so expertly tied atop the truck.
(see the puzzled boys below)



While that vehicle worked away at the canoe dilemma, my vehicle worked away at a tasty treat! And not only did we get to suck away at blue suckers, but we were also able to listen to a larger variety of expertly chosen music. (we were blessed to have the iPod Queen with us!)

Upon arriving at the previously chosen site, with only minor difficulties, we (being the girls, seeing as the boys had found other ways to occupy themselves) proceeded to set up the tent. Seeing as I was dubbed the photographer I was not involved with the erection of the tent, though the process would have gone much more smoothly if I had stepped in . . .

















(and here you see what the boys found to be more gratifying then aiding us with our assembly) There plan was to dig a tunnel right to the door of the tent.















But don't worry- I showed them who was boss!













It was going well though . . . Of course there ended up being some more adventures, including food mishaps

Though what to you expect when you appoint me to bring a meal . . . There is nothing wrong with alphagetti!

All in all, it was a success. I learned that you don't always need to be paying attention in order to catch a fish, wrenches ARE helpful- no matter what others may say, and you need power in order to turn on the lights . . .









*And don't forget to . . . quit while you are ahead*

What Gender Is Your Brain?

Never Ending

A full days work- always up to something with no time for a break- yet at the end of the day it appears and feels as if nothing had been accomplished! Now I know that it feels like to be my mother. Before when I came home from school (in past years, not this one) I'd wonder what she had done all day, cause everything seemed to be just as we'd left it.
But you see, that's the problem, kids just 'leave' so much, that it is impossible for someone to keep up with it all. After nearly a week of being a stay-at-home-single-mom for my 3 younger siblings, I've discovered just how impudent children (no matter their age) can be!

Upon departing for school in the mornings they leave their dirty dishes from breakfast and their lunch from the day before on the counter! Once at school they realize they'd neglected to bring important books to school- they phone and expect you to drop all you are doing and abandon all your plans for the day in order to accommodate them immediately!
When they arrive home they head straight to the TV or computer and proceed to sit there until dinner is served. With not even a simple offer of assistance!

Kids these days expect far to much from others. The mere thought of them doing anything for themselves it heinous, for "working hard at school all day- they deserve a break"
There are, however, parts of the day I've come to thoroughly enjoy. One of those being my walks with the dog, twice a day for at least an hour! It keeps me in shape (though due to a recent plummet down the stairs those walks may be limited for the next few days)! My other favourite time of is shower time! Not only is it peaceful and I am completely on my own, but from in the shower I can not see all that still must be accomplished! (However that does not stop these thoughts from flooding my mind)

*thoughts of incessant tasks to be done shower down upon me, like the water from the faucet*
