My ten years old has really gotten into singing. SHe has been singing since she could talk but she has been pursuing it much more lately. I got her a microphoen but she wants a microphone stand to go with it.

I really think my kid is just as good as some of the kids I see singing on american idol and any othe4r singing shows. She wants all the equipment such as a nice microphone and a microphone stand and an earpiece and a mouthpiece so she can sing and dance at the same time.

I am one of those moms that no matter what I will support my childs dreams so guess what mama is going to be doing? Yes I am going to be ordering her microphone stand so she can sing and dance and put on a show for all of us.

This cold weather is making all kinds of vechicles break down. I have see at least two RV’s need rv towing. I swear that a lot of people in California don’t know how to drive in this cold weather.

It seriously amazes me how many accidents occur when it rains. I wonder how people in this town would do if they had t drive in the snow. I dotn think I would want to be out on the road if it snowed. It’s bad enough driving when its raining much less if I had to deal with oterh crazy drivers in the snow or icey streets.

I have seen some movies that take place in Canada and I would love to someday live there. The landscape is so beautiful and it seems that they get all the season which living here in California we dont.I wouldn’t mind looking ar Calgary apartments for rent. I would love to make new friends and just start fresh and new in a new country.

I have a few friends who live in Canada and speak nothing but beautiful things about there country.I also love the idea of not having to pay so much for health care. There are a lot of things that Canadians do better then us and I wouldn’t mind living there quite frankly. I dont know how my kids would feel about it but I am ready to get up and move. I really need a change of scenery.

This morning, after my husband left for work I set our home security family alarm and crawled back in the bed. I had a lot of work to do, so I poured a pot of coffee, grabbed my laptop and got started. I got distracted because I made the mistake of turning on Netflix. I started watching a movie that I put into my instant Queue. It was a really cute movie that came out in 1967. I had already heard about it, but had never seen it. It was a really great movie. It had Sydney Pottier ( a very young one at that) as the lead character. The story line goes that an African American physician meets a young college graduate in Hawaii. They go to tell her parents ( one being Katherine Hepburn). The parents always considered themselves to be very progressive parents. They find themselves in internal strife with their feelings towards their daughter’s impending marriage. It is really a great movie and one that I am going to be watching again. I can’t believe that I haven’t seen it until now! It really is such a great movie. Sidney Pottier is really a great actor.

My back has been getting worse and worse. I am scared that in a couple of years I might end up needing spinal laser surgery. The cold makes it even worse and on some days I can barely get out of bed. It makes me so sad to be suffering from so many spinal and back problems.

I dont know how long its been since I have had a day without pain. Everyday I wake up I wish I didnt suffer the pain I do. I wish I could ride all the amusement park rides with my children but sadly it isnt so. I have been suffering from this pain since 2005 and more than likely the rest of my life. I just want pain relief that is all.

I cant believe that in a few years I will be going to buy prom dresses with my daughter. My daughter already likes Jovani prom dresses and has been looking at prom dresses ever since she turned a teenager.

I wish I could slow down time and keep my baby girl from growing. I cant believe how quickly time has gone by. before I know it my daughter will be going to college and getting married. I dont think I am ready for her to be so grown up.

We got the family a new computer and now we need a place to put it. I am on the lookout for a computer cabinet to keep the computer nice and organized. I dont like big bulky computer tables. I want some thing that will make my den look nice.

Once I get a chance I want to redesign the den and make it into a nice office.I want a place in this house to just call my own and the den is about to become my room.

I think looking for discount art supplies is a great christmas idea. I bet you that the kids will be entertained drawing and painting. If your into art too you can make beautitul paintings. The ideas are endless when it comes to arts and crafts.  My kids are going to be home for two weeks and the best way I know how to keep them entertained is to provide them different art activities.

What do you do when you have your kids home for chrismas and new years? Do you think giving art supplies is a good christmas gift? I like this set of markers to give my children for christmas.

I love using fragrance lamps around my house. The fragrance lamp leaves my house smelling so good. I have a lot of kids running around my house leaving their sports clothes and diffrent cooking smells  and I hate my house smelling bad. I dont like to use the regular air fresheners because they dont last as long as I want them to.

I like the look of the fragrance lamps because they make a cute decoration besides also making my house smell good. What do you use to keep your house smelling nice and good? Look how beautiful this fragrance lamp is.

I have been so busy getting ready for christmas that I haven’t had time to really check out anything else. I havent gone out to see a movie or check out an exhibit company or do anything other than hang out with family and get things done around the house. I like staying busy but not too busy. I love having family over but when the gossiping starts then I rather not participate in that.

I can’t wait til the holidays are over and I can return to my regular self and not having to deal with all the people over at my house. I am not trying to be mean but too many people under one room gets kind of claustrophobic. I might just take myself out to the movies or something.
