All Stars . . . Game #1 Results
Today was awesome! My little man played his first ever All Stars series ballgame! He's been in Little League since the rip ole age of 5, lol! After 6 years in the league from Tee Ball to the Major Leagues he has finally achieved his goal! I couldn't be more proud of him then I am now! At least not till his next great achievement, lol! ;-)
Nick has worked very hard to get to the position he's at now. Proof positive that no matter what handicap the doctors want to brand you with, it is NOT a 'cap' on your abilities to follow through with your dreams, no matter how unattainable they may seem to others.
Always remember with a little hard work, determination and will to make it, you too can do anything you set your mind to!
Okie, on to the scores:
All Stars Little League game #1/b:
Home Team(Us): Mid-Parish (10 & 11 yr olds)
'Smootie King Knights'
Guest Team: Walker (All 11yr olds) 'Turtles'
Final Score:
Walker 15 / Mid-Parish 0
Although we were skunked it was not without one heck of a fight from our boys. They played hard and in the end that's all that counts, team work!
The second of game of the series @ 5pm on Sunday.
I can't wait!

A new year...a new me?
Wow, it's hard to believe it's a new year already, 3 months into it to be exact! Even more surprising is the fact I haven't been blogging at all. I've been so pre-occupied with starting the new year off right, getting our i's dotted and our t's crossed legally, and trying to get my health back on the fast track that I lost track of time.
Overall it's been a fairly decent new year so far. The family chaos has quieted down since we changed our cell numbers in January and have refused to take part in any of the family's chaos.
The job market seems to have been on a steady decline however, which has meant making ends meat hasn't been an easy task...well not that it was ever easy but it certainly was easier then now.
As for writing, I've been working on a couple projects that I hope to have ready to share soon. I plan on finally developing my writing website so I can upload & share my works with the blogger world and beyond. Who knows I may experiment with my own blog over there since I've been learning the tricks of the trade building blogs for wordpress...oops, wait, I can say wordpress here can't I?
So tell me blogger world, how has the first two months of your year been?
I'm anxious to read your reply's...
until then may peace be with you All!

My son's birthday and a rant...
Hellooooo blogger world!
Hope you all are enjoying a little R'n'R on this beautiful, but chilly Sunday morning.
Myself I am getting ready to take my youngest son over to my father's house for his official birthday party. Last night we had a small intimate party with just the three of us. Dinner, cupcakes, chips and a movie. Our original plans for the Louisiana Renaissance Festival were twarted when the storms came through but we purchased Ice Age 3:Dawn of the Dinosaurs and stayed home instead. My son, Nicholas, got a Star Wars action figure, Terminator 3:Rise of the Machines for his PS2 and Transformers 2:Revenge of the fallen DVD. Too sum up the entire evening, It rocked!
Now today we will be having a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake, which btw PLEASE make certain you check the size before you order! We ordered 1/2 a sheet and OMG it was small! Pizza, soda and a turkey dinner later this evening. Lots of good food and great company.
What more could an 11 year old ask for you say?
Well here's my rant. And frankly I don't give a frog's fat back quarters if the people, or should I say cold heartless dicks responsible read this or not.
The 'more' that any child could ask for is just to be loved by his family, and I don't mean just parents. I mean grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. They only ask to be protected and kept safe from harm, and the drama that plagues the world. We all know they will learn of this plague soon enough when they hit their teens, and into pre-adulthood.
And yes here we go again with the Toxic People. Now myself and my hubby have both made it clear we have stepped back. But what 11 year is going to step back from those who 'claim' they love him unconditionally.
Nicholas doesn't understand why his Granny (My father's ex-wife) was in his life up till last summer and when she found out my father remarried, and she no longer had use for us to find out about what my dad was up to, she cut him out of her life. Zilch! Just like that. She went from calling a few times a week, holidays and just because to na-da, nothing, not one damn phone call not even for his birthday. Well I have news for that bitch, she needn't cross my path in this lifetime again cause she has an ass kickin' coming. Btw Betty, if you are reading this, this is NOT a threat, this IS a promise. So until I make good on it there is NOTHING the law can do because it is not a threat.
Now to the hubby's family, the most Toxic bunch I have EVER met in my entire life! And believe me with my first hubby being in the public career he was, I have met a LOT of people over the years and since. You would think that after hearing for nearly a year & half that 'if only' we'd move back to good ole' Louisiana that they would come visit, they would take an active part in their then only grandson's life. Well we made that leap, we moved back here and in the first 7 years they visited no more then a handful of times, only participated in his sports once and that was football and what's even more sad is the last birthday they spoke to him was 2006 and that was due to free food & cake I believe! His self=proclaimed (but not active) uncle James claims he missed him, wants to be a part of his life, was coming to visit the week before last. Another friggin LIE! All he wanted was to thwart our intentions of hiring an attorney to sue his sorry white trash ass for defamation of character and slander.
Now back to the so called grandparents. From 2007, till now they have not called him on this birthday, or ANY OTHER day for that matter. Not once. Of course Betty (yes that's my hubby's mother's name as well as my ex-stepmothers) could put her younger grandson on the line with DJ when he called, he was only 2.5 at the time, and you cannot even understand a word that child says. Yet did she ask to speak with Nicholas, HELL NO SHE DIDN'T! I am about to my witts end with that white trash bunch over there in Robert, LA! As far as I'm concerned the same promise goes for them ALL over there!
Along with another hand of white trash so called family they can ALL kiss my Yankee ass & go straight to hell where they belong!
If anyone can give me some insight on how someone can push away a child, their own flesh & blood without a bit of guilt it seems, Please please pleaseeeeee let me know what makes these people tick. I really am at my wits end and tired of making lame excuses to my son for their behavior.
Well now, I hope you will excuse my vulgar language and rant for the day.
Have a bright, beautiful Sunday!
Peace be with you...

Freaky Dreams...
Have you ever had one of those dreams that were just plain freaky? You know the ones where you wake up wondering WTF? Where no one in your dream acts quite right and says or does things way out of the ordinary for them.
Well I just awoke from one of those dreams and let me tell you it left a horrible taste in my mouth! I won't go into too much detail but I will say that all through this it was surreal, and in the end I took my last breath, at least I believe I was dead/dying anyway cause I was lying on my living room floor (in some other house not this one) in a heep of blood after being beaten to a bloody pulp for something I didn't even do and it was proven in the end as the phone rang, it was the lab with test results to confirm I hadn't strayed to my attacker. But then it was to late as he turned to see I wasn't moving. Weird huh? Well I certainly thought so!
So, now it's your turn! Why not use the comments section of this post to share your freaky, weird or strange dreams... I can't wait to read them!
Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!
Happy Hump Days Folks!
Peace be with you...

Paranormal Activity (the Movie) w/spoilers.
Wow! I was amazed at the fact this movie was made for a mere $11,000 in someones home. Amazing! It had a real life feeling to it. It brought Micah & Katie the two main characters in the film quickly into your heart. You actually felt they were a real couple dealing with real life.
Now I don't want to spoil the movie for anyone so if you haven't seen it but plan to please do not read any further...I'm not giving much away but I would rather not let my opinion mar the judgment of someone else till they themselves experience it ;)
* * * SPOILERS AHEAD * * *

Okie for me this movie was not jump out of the seat scary. It did have some breath taking moments where I squeezed the crap out of my hubby's hand and I held my breath. But it was the same kind of fear you would have reacting to a friends dilemma. You see it, you hear it, you understand what their talking about but there isn't anything you can do about it. Again it brought you in Micah & Katie's home and opened their world up to you the viewer in such a way you actually could feel for these people.
Now let's discuss the after effects of the movie. I have had a great deal of real life paranormal activity around me since I was old enough to remember. Some of it could be explained away and some of it never could be, no matter how hard anyone tried to write it off. There are just some things in this world that cannot and refuse to be write offs. What this movie did to me was bring back memories, not exactly like in the movie, no but certainly at times just as scary to me personally or others around me, and believe me when I tell you, I don't scare easily at all.
So long after we left the theater, discussing the movie and come home to our active house where things do go bump in the night, it places you on a much higher alert when hearing those things you would normally write off as Casper the friendly spirit.
The first night, Saturday night, 3:14 am I heard the typical noises but I did not have my typical reaction, this time I froze. Flash backs of the movie and seriousness of it came rushing back to me. At that moment I really wanted to call our family shaman who has dealt with the paranormal since his youth or our parish priest Ft. Hank. Lucky for them I stopped myself, and collected my senses! Especially considering the Shaman lives in another time zone and it would have been 2hrs earlier for him, lol.
Bottom line folks not only was it an awesome date with the hubby but an awesome experience I got to bring home with me for days after! lol! So I would say I got my money's worth and then some. As for the rest of the date, it was awesome, pizza/cuddles and sleep...What more could a wifey ask for?
Hope you all had a wonderful start to your week, I'm heading off to find something else to write about, who knows maybe I will write about some of my or my families bump in the night experiences...
Have a Great Tuesday Folks!
Peace be with you All...

Excited about Saturday!
Hi folks! Yes once again I am supposed to be working and of course here I am, lol!
I can't help but to think about the upcoming weekend with my hubby. We will be ALL ALONE for the first time in, hmm, let me think, over two years!!! I know its not healthy to go that long in between dates but unfortunately life happens and when it gets busy time slips away.
Our youngest will be headed off to the local Renaissance festival with my father and me & the hubby are headed to the movies to see Paranormal Activity! I can't wait! I've heard/read so much about it, and if it is even a fraction of the freaky people say I'm stoked!
Have any of you out there in blog world seen it yet? I'd love to hear your opinions & experiences before & after seeing it ;)
Have a Great Thursday folks!
Peace be with you all...
