I thought by now I would be used to my neigborhood. We have lived here for over a year. It is a brand new subdivison with no crime and leave it to beaver houses everywhere. I went through my nightly routine as I usually do. 8pm the little one goes down. 8:15 mom takes a shower. 9:00 mom sits with some cammomill tea (i am sure i spelled that wrong) reads the newspaper, and her magazine unwinds and relaxes. 10:15 catches up on headlines from the news checks her email one more time. 10:30 checks all the doors, sets the alarm, kisses the hubby goodnight as he farts around on the computer and then heads to bed. shuts the light off and goes to sleep. I have done this every night for the last year and a half. Yet tonight for the first time in over a year I did nothing but toss and turn, up and down to the bathroom (being pregnate does that to you) So I got up turned on some of the lights, checked the little one and came in to sit at the computer. I got to thinking, am I having this little restless bit because tonight is the first time in a year and a half that the hubby has not been home at night. Every night by 11:30 he is home and climbing into bed. Yet tonight for the first time he left the house at 10:30 to head to work. Is it that I am uncomfortable in my own house at the thought that my husband is a half hour away at work. I mean I know if something should happen that I have the phone and can call 911. I live at the end of the block and the police and fire station are less than 3 blocks away. Both of my neightbors on either side are State police. There has never been any crime reported in my neigborhood, I have a burglur alarm. So even though I am not haveing any feelings weither they are of distress, lonleyness, sadness, or what not. I dont understand why I am feeling so uneasy. My mother would tell me women's intuition, but I don't think that is it. Well I suppose that I have rambled on long enough about everything and at the same time nothing. I bid you good night my dear streamers. Good Night.

In surfing the net tonight trying to find some information on one of my favorite shows. Mythbusters on the discovery channel. I have discovered that there was in fact back in 1945 a headless chicken that lived for 18 months after its head was cut off. I swear this is something that you will have to see for yourself.

If you want to see some other interesting things about this chicken and his story please refer to the link below.

So for sometime I have not been feeling my usual self and have been in and out of the doctors office. So today when I went to take my son to see his pediatrician (I never could spell that word), I was sitting in the waiting room when I started to feel really faint. I asked the nurse for a cold compress and a glass of water. She called the doctor who inturn called my doctor and guess what. Mommy got a checkup too!! Yay I hate doctors. Anyway the doctor took some lab tests and told me that he would have the results for me when I was done with my son's doctors appointment and to stop back by his office before I left to go home. So after my son got poked and proded by his doctor and got a sucker for his reward, it was off to mommy's dr. So I'm sitting in the waiting room when my husband comes walking in the office door. What the heck are you doing here I ask. He told me that the doctor called him and wanted him to come in. He had some news for me. I thought oh great.. now what. I can not afford to be sick anymore while I am trying to chase a 5 year old around. So we are called into his office and he sat us down. He said I have some great news.. YOu are going to be parents again. (THUD!!) My husband passed out and cold clocked himself on the corner of the desk. After bringing him to and making sure that he was ok... I asked the doctor how this was possiable. That is when he went into the birds and the bees talk...and I said hey Doc.. I know about that.. I have a 5 year old. I asked him how, I was in the middle of having what I thought was my monthly reminder that I was a woman. He said that I had some minor bleeding because of some medication I was on. He said that he wanted me to change the dosage and to come back in 2 weeks to see how the little one was doing. Now I am figuring that for my son's dr appointment he got a sucker.. My reward...an expanding belly and someone using your bladder as a punching bag or a soccer ball. By now my son is wondering what is going on. So in trying to explain to him what was happening. He look shocked. I told him that in about 8 months we where going to be getting a small present, and that he would have to be extreamly careful with it. He turns around and with the straightest look on his face saya "WE'RE GETTING A PUPPY??" So here is to 8 months of explaining to him mommy's mood swings, cravings, and why mommy is getting fat... Hummm wonder how we are going to explain the lack of fur on this little present..
So here is to expecting baby number 2.

Do you have a love/hate relationship with your computer?? I know I do. Please read on for a good laugh, and be thankful that cars are not built like computers.

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part)

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive -- but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turn the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how t o drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

Well I had a meeting with my ex today so that he can take our son and spend the weekend with him. It was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do. In talking with my ex. He asked me to sum up our relationship that we had and put it into one song. Well I told him that was humanly impossiable after everything that he has done to me, but I told him that they way I feel now is in the song Heart of Stone by Cher.

I love Cher. No matter how old or what decade she to me is a legand. Even though she has kept her youth through dr's her voice is something that I love.
