Honoring those who give so much

Was sitting and pondering the thoughts of this past weekend. I still can see her smile. I can still smell her scent in her room. My breath is taken away with the sheer thought of the child gave me to raise.

I am so not worthy to be her Mama.
Christina Corryne. I love that name, I love saying it, it has such meaning, and strength. Because she is so strong and rich in love. She is her mama's girl. She too is quite the shy one. But, you would NEVER know it. She makes me shine like a new penny.

Whenever you have the opportunity. Give thanks and honor those who serve for YOUR FREEDOM. Because, parents like me hold our breath, pray for strength, and live with the faith of knowing they are keeping what this whole country was founded on. FREEDOM for us all. From the soldier who mows the grounds at the bases, to the Fighters in flight, to the spec forces. And, the ever most humbling job. Medically treating our fallen soldiers. May their hands be blessed, may God flow thru them to touch and lift those who are desperate for a healing.

Christina, since you were born, your hands have always had such a magical healing to them. May you NEVER forget God lives in you, and he gives you your strength.

I tip my helmet to you baby girl. For I am so honored to be your mama.:)

To be or not to be? That is such a STUPID question

As I sit and ponder the actual question. I am filled with utter disgust and am reiterated that THIS is what is wrong with our country. People always seeking to LABEL themselves as SPECIAL.

I was clearing off my msgs. on fb. I run across a message dated december 2011. I click and as I am reading I am thinking. WTH.! Are you kidding me?
The comment was: " I am confused, I thought you had a real issue with my race?" And, when you came up to us the other night, all friendly we were rather disturbed.. And, next time just be polite.
And, it wasn't you that had to explain to their child that sometimes people judge based on color and race.

What is so ironic about this whole thing.
My whole life I have heard such racial remarks regarding the Hispanic heritage. From Beaners, or Wetbacks, to tamale eating blah blah blank blank blanks.

That is what is truly wrong with our society. Why anyone sees themselves as anything but WHO THEY ARE. I am an American. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. I don't have to refer to my ancestors, or grand parents, or family members to make up who I am. I am me.

As for the friendliness. Trust me, those who truly KNOW ME. Know I am a very shy person. It takes jumping out of my shell to say howdy. So, when I do say HOWDY, it is usually SCREAMING H O W D Y ! !.. Just because, I am confident and comfortable with myself, and you are obviously NOT with yourself. Does not give you the right to be hateful. Shame on you. Shame shame. Oh and tell your kid to stop texting mine. Because, 164 texts in 24 hrs. is a little STALKERISH. Don't ya think maybe 5-10. not over One Hundred SIXTY times. A little too much for me. So, Yes I did advise my child to kind of take a break from the friendship. Obviously there is being more read between the lines than hey how ya doin?.

Anyway, so enough of the RACE CARD being played.

Bobby had his end of the year band horn party yesterday. Was quite fun. Went and picked up Pizza from Pizza hut, lots of bottled water, some soda's, and loud music. Was great. Was nice to see him smile like that.

This morning phone rings at 9am. Yea, my a/c is not workin and uhm, we need some service. OK. Hold on I just woke up. OH well, I was fixing to call the other number. Don't bother, my cell phone is right beside my head and I am already on the phone. LOL.

Well, blah blah blah later. Rob says, Call them back, I will run the call. I said what? really? Yah, Tellem 2pm. So, I did.
Made awesome FLUFFY omlets for breakfast, bobby comes around the corner. MOM, MAMA, MOMMY MOMMY, MOM, MOM. WHAT! !!!!!!!!!!!!! Can Patrick come over today?
I looked at him and said, Are you serious? We just had a party yesterday for you. King Webb. He smiled said, k, around 12:30ish? I said fine... So, they are out side shooting the grackles, and taking apart pallets to make FORTS for the Airsoft gun shooting thing.. OH MY STARS. I love Sundays. And, what are you going to do today?
