Pure Fustration!!!!!

OK I am about to go on a little rant!!!! OLD MEN ARE $%^%^&#@

Doug and the boy's were in an accident at the end of June and I have finally taken the car into have the estimate done!!!! ready for this $2,700 of damage done to our car and that's before they pry the back door open, cause right now it won't. It was a little old man driving the other car and there was very little damage done to his car. His insurance co is trying to make Doug at fault and our co, is saying that the old man is at fault.. If you ask me men at the age of 70 should have there licences taken away!!!!

Lagoon

Doug took the boy's to Lagoon on Friday, and boy did they have a blast!!! Doug went with some friends of ours and they all took turns in kiddy land and ridding some of the bigger rides. Avery got to ride his first Roller coaster and Had a blast. That's all he has talked about since . Avery was also tall enough to drive the go karts. OH I'm in trouble!!!

OH DEAR!!!!

OK so for those of you who know me, and know me well, I can't (or maybe won't) put down a good book. So for the last year I haven't had the time to pick up a book for me other than to read to the kids, so I have been listening to books on CD. The latest and greatest books I have been listening to are the Twilight Series, by Stephanie Myers: OM!!!!! is all I can say. For an LDS author, it's been one of the most thought provoking series I have ever read, and not in the traditional sense of thought provoking either. It makes you look at good and evil in a light that you had never thought of before and can monsters traditionally thought of as evil be good. Out of this all comes your own personal opinions, but for those of us who thrive on symbolism and hair pulling thoughts, comes another book. A classic, that has been mentioned only briefly by the author of the twilight series, until recently I have never ever though about reading. What book might this be you ask, well it is called Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Like Charles Dickens Tale of two cities wasn't torture enough, I need my head examined!!! I have come to a conclusion, classics are classics for a reason, they are our beginning in literature, they were the first to give us in site to ones imagination, the first to let us know about love and illogical, family strife and the total difference between classes. For the lack of a better saying, they are the first to put into writing MAN'S IN HUMANITY TO MAN. The story of Cathrine and Heathcliff now have a very special place in my heart, a place I thought only reserved for one other person, but now are inhabited by 3. If you have not read this book, I highly suggest it. It will make you look at love and Class in a whole different way.

Rest In Peace Mufassa!!!!

My poor Zackery and Avery for that matter learned a hard lesson on life and death this week. Our poor Moufassa died late Tuesday night. Zack beaing the loving child he is (with Animals) took Moufassa to bed with him unknown to me. At some point durring the night Zack rolled on Moufassa and killed him. When I went in to give the kids kisses before i left for work, i found him passed away right beside Zack. Needeless to say my children were devistated to wake up to this. Belive it or not I was granted bereavement leave so that I could go home for the funeral. After the funeral we sat as a family and disscused when and what type of animal to get next. We have narrowed it down to a small but sturdy dog, or a rabbit. I did tell them though that it would be a couple of months before we got another pet. You see I had never had a pet growing up that died. There were always dogs around, but nothing more than that, so I a 33 yr old mom had a melt down over losing a hamster. How silly is that. Well Moufassa know that you were loved greatly and don't worry you have plenty of family to watch over you in heaven.
