I love you.
A bloggy thingy about this and that. Sometimes to make yuk-yuks and sometimes to complain. Sometimes just to ramble - because I can!!!

AUGUST 27, 1997
I can’t believe how much time has passed
since we sat together, our hands clasped.
The years have gone from one to another
12 years later and I still miss my mother.
It hasn’t been an easy ride
from the moment I learned that you had died.
I sometimes forget that you have gone away
and I try to call you to share our day.
No more can you answer the telephone ring
but I do look to the sky and tell you things.
I miss you so much, and I’m glad you’re with dad
but even in the comfort of that it still leaves me sad.
Sometimes I feel so all alone
Daddy and you were my heart, my home.
I know I’m old now and should get over it
but sometimes inside I still feel like a little kid.
Twelve years have gone by and 12 more will too
its just hard to imagine and know what to do.
I’ll get by, as I always do
still missing and loving daddy and you.
Rest in peace mom, rest in peace.
Until next time.

50 YEARS OLD GOING ON 8
I just read on the AOL home page about von Bruun, an 88 year old man (yes, 88) that opened fire on the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. I am sickened by this for so many reasons.
How does a man live to be 88 while harboring such hatred for people? And how can that same man walk into a museum filled with chidren and open fire? And how can a man perform such a heinous act in a place that pays homage to 6,ooo,ooo people that were murdered...and then commit murder?
I may be 50 years old, but I feel like a stupid kid. I don't understand this. I don't understand how someone can see the proof that the Holocaust DID happen and say it was a hoax? Ask the survivors. Ask the liberators. Ask the people that have been found guilty of participating. Ask the millions of people that lost their loved ones. IT DID HAPPEN and we can never, NEVER forget it. Nor forgive it.
As soon as I read this story it brought back memories of another shooting in a Jewish facility...a Jewish day care center nearly 10 years ago. Another anti-semetic, white supremist walked in and opened fire. Another place filled with children. The sickness in my stomach returned as I re-lived that day. Thank G-D that today no children were hurt. An innocent security guard was fatally shot. I don't mean to downplay that, but the fact that there were so many innocent children in the museum makes my blood boil even more. I think of the children shot in the shooting 10 years ago and tears roll down my face. I knew one that was shot and other kids that were there. And not only do they have to deal with the physical scars, how do you explain that they were victims merely because of their religion. How do you explain that there were 6,000,ooo people killed merely due to their religion. How do you explain that there are people filled with such hatred.
I would have thought that by 2009 there would be more tolerance. That there would be less racism, anti-semetism and hatred for people different from yourself. I guess I am wrong.
Please remember the Holocaust. Remember the victims. Remember the survivors. Remember the ones that lost their loved ones. Remember that it CAN happen again.
And pray (to whatever diety you pray to) that it doesn't happen ever again.
Until next time...

I AM SOOOO OVER IT!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo93dSFepoit2BgPNdqBR7bHmHlQi5c-Rc_iMpxtqLrou7TJqYVmg8j-KhnKgae1kmEAX0qRXu-89F6u8YE_EqSHrscmQ9s7YdG12jgMl6rXJ4MAEotr1WkSQ0UJgqGhMRBvCX/s320/th_Winter.jpg)
I am soooo over it...winter.
I have had enough of it. Ok, I know that when it was 95 degrees and 95% humidity I was wishing for winter to arrive, but enough all ready. I suppose it is true...be careful what you wish for, as it may come true! And boy oh boy has it ever!
I'm tired of scraping snow and ice off of my car.
I'm tired of having those longgggggg drives to go a few short miles.
I'm tired of freezing.
I'm tired of canceled plans.
I'm just tired!!
But, alas I put it into perspective...sorta.
I chose to be here. I left the 11.5 months of sunshine behind to return to the tundra!
I chose to trade the warmth of the sun for the real life warmth of family.
I chose to give up the rocking and rolling of earthquakes for the stable ground...albeit snow covered.
I chose it.
I just wish it was winter for a little shorter amount of time.
And the teasers are so unfair! Today went from 50's to 30's in the drop of a hat...a wool hat with ear flaps!!
I suppose it could be worse...just gimme some more time to think about how!!!!
:)~
Until next time...
