For some reason, I can't shake this impending doom and gloom feeling. As Irene churns out in the ocean gathering more and more strength I am more and more bewildered as to what I should do for my family. I don't know if I should stay or go. This is one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make. If I stay and things are worse than they are forecasting (which is highly possible), what will happen? If I go and it turns out to be nothing more than Tropical Storm force winds, then I'm stupid and wasted money on a hotel. Our forecast has now gone from at Category 2 downgrading to a 1 during her trip over us to a Category 3 that doesn't start downgrading until she reaches the Eastern Shore. This storm is so unpredictable.
I am scared, and I have been praying. Praying that God will shield our home from damage, cover our area with his protective umbrella, and send his angels to watch over me, my family and my friends.
As of this post, we have not been issued an evacuation. Which is a double edged sword. Either our City Officials are thinking that we will be ok, or they are just sitting on their thumbs too afraid to pull the trigger.
My gut is in knots, I have so much to get done today, and I must get on it.
I will try to blog some more before we lose power.
Blessings to you all.

Swamp Fires, Earthquakes and Hurricanes...OH MY!
Well, as the news so kindly put it on their facebook page...do you get the feeling that Mother Nature is picking on Hampton Roads?
YES, YES I DO! Things have been happening that DON'T happen around here and it's quite disturbing to say the least.
Very rarely do Wild Fires hit around here. We have them occasionally, but, not bad, and certainly NOT like this one that is raging through the Great Dismal Swamp. :( Poor bears :(
On to the BEST topic...Earthquakes....REALLY? I have lived here my whole life, so have my parents, and let me tell you that none of us have EVER experienced an Earthquake here. Things like that just don't happen around here. They just don't. I'm so flabbergasted by it, that I can't think of anything to say other than...THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE!
It was the weirdest feeling ever. First I got very disoriented, it felt like everything was spinning and my eyes were rolling all around. I couldn't understand what was happening. I thought I was going crazy!! I asked my mom what was moving, and she said, "I don't know, I think my chair is moving. I thought Shelby was behind me, but, she's over there!" She looked at the blinds and they were swaying. It felt like we were in the ocean, just bobbing up and down. At that point, I looked at my mom and said "I think that was an Earthquake!" She said, "Yep, I think you are right!" People in the neighborhood were coming outside to see what was going on. I called my sister's house and my nephew told me that yes, his house was moving and his chandelier was swinging from side to side. We were all scared! We didn't know where the epicenter was, what magnitude it was...NOTHING. We turned on the news, and there was nothing but soaps on....WHAT? So, it wasn't until a while later that we learned that it was a 5.8 Earthquake in Mineral, VA and the effects were felt as far north as the Canadian Border, as far west as Ohio, and as far south as Atlanta. WHEW! That was crazy!!
So now, I am trying to make my list of hurricane essentials that will be gotten on pay day. Irene is supposed to be pretty ugly, and from the looks of it, she is HUGE. I'm not looking forward to her visit, and kind of wish she would change her mind. I will need to get cards, dice, inexpensive little games and puzzles, etc, etc. Bottled water, batteries, flashlights, a hand can opener, canned goods and toilet paper are also on the top of my list. OH YEAH! and charcoal. Must have grill necessities because undoubtedly, the power will be out for days and days.
Well, I have run out of time, I have to go somewhere :( BOO HOO, I was just getting in the groove good!
I will try to blog again before this dreaded visit from the one named IRENE.

A Day At The Beach....Literally Part 2
Where did I leave off? Oh yeah, the 335 pound man (I know that because he told me how much he weighs...does anyone else find that really disturbing?) that told me to take care of his kid while he and his wife went crabbing....
12:30 PM
After watching this little girl named Sandy for, oh, 2 hours, her mom comes up and feeds her 2 hot dogs and some grapes. She talked to me for a few minutes, and went back out crabbing....OK....weird, however, I have a sneaking suspicion that this was no ordinary marriage between the two from the way he acted. It seemed very, for lack of a better term....fishy.
2:00 PM
Said parents emerge from the water and Sandy went to play in the water near her parents after about 30 more minutes of playing with me and the kids. Well, Sandy wound up in the water, her mom was watching her and her dad was...guess where? CRABBING, AGAIN! My kiddos wanted to go swimming, so, off to the water we venture. Well, poor little Sandy just latched right back onto us and remained with us in the water. After a few minutes, her dad realized I was in the water, WHISTLED at his wife, and told her to bring him a new net and 2 anchors, well, she did and then commenced to JOINING him in the water. I guess when he saw me look at him to see what he was whistling for, when he made random motions with his hands that meant for me to look after Sandy, again. Well, since no one said anything to me, I got my kids and left the water. Sandy said her mom said she could stay there and sit right where the water comes on shore. OK....We went back to our fishing spot and needless to say, I did keep my eyes on Sandy, because, the poor little thing didn't have anyone else looking out for her.
3:30 PM
I was never so relieved when I saw Sandy and her parents packing their stuff to GO HOME! It was the highlight of my day. Pretty sad, hunh?
3:45 PM
Random lady walks up to me and tells me that I am as red as the chair I am sitting in and that she wonders if I have ever heard of this stuff they call SUNSCREEN. Why, yes, I have heard of this new substance, and I did make sure to cover my children in it, however, in all of the craziness of the day, I had neglected to use the new fangled stuff on myself. She apologized and told me that she has a degree in sarcasm due to the fact that she is a middle school teacher. I immediately laughed and felt the need to question this teacher as to where she may be teaching that she has such a wonderful degree in sarcasm. Well, turns out that she teaches at my cousins old middle school and actually had her in her class....again....RANDOM! She really was a nice lady, and she made my last 30 minutes on the beach very nice.
4:15 PM
Packing up to head home. Now, Shelby decides she is going to be ROTTEN and run into the water, so, in I go after her....in my clothes......nice. After wrestling with my 5 year old for 5 minutes in the Chesapeake Bay, I emerged....slightly wet, but, victorious! YES!
4:30 PM
In van, headed to grocery store to get all items needed for dinner...
I go into the grocery store, with a head full of sand and salt and half wet pants. I can only imagine what people thought of me walking around in wet pants and scratching my head...LOL. I managed to gather everything needed and get out to the van. FINALLY, heading home to get a shower!
5:00 PM
HOME AT LAST!! We all got showered, I got lotion rubbed on my oh so burnt skin and headed into the kitchen with DH to assist in burger and fry assemblage.
5:45 PM
Dinner was FANTASTICAL! I ate, watched some television and fell fast asleep. What a day!
Oh, in all of the above I forgot to mention that we managed to catch 4 spot and a baby fish that shall remain nameless (for our own protection) we threw back the nameless fish and donated the 4 spot to the nice teacher and her husband. All in all, everyone pretty much had a good time. I can't imagine it being any better. Except for the 335 pound man, the sunburn and the random fit that was thrown in the Bay.
What did you do with YOUR Saturday this week?
Later Taters!

A Day At The Beach....Literally
This is my second attempt at blogging today, my first was DELETED by my oh so sweet youngest daughter while trying to capture the escaped bird. OI....so, here goes AGAIN.....
Yesterday was officially deemed FAMILY DAY at the Warden Wacky-Bin. My sweet, oh so Darling Husband decided last weekend that he would take yesterday off of work! This only happens once in a blue moon, so, we were thoroughly excited. He planned the whole day.....as outlined below
6 AM get everyone up (seriously? 6 on a Saturday?)
8 AM head to beach for fishing (again...family activity? really?)
?? PM come home and make burgers and fries for dinner (ok, that's fine, we all LOVE DH's burgers)
Friday night: Everyone go to bed at 9 please, because we are going to the beach tomorrow!! Yeah, we all ended up going to bed around 11....it's summer.....who needs bedtime? Especially when late bedtimes mean mom gets to sleep in!
Saturday morning:
6 AM
Husband attempts to wake me for 30 minutes. Once husband achieves goal, I emerged from deep beneath the covers extremely grumpy.
7:15 AM
I remained grumpy until entering the shower. When I exited the nice hot shower, I was greeted with a sausage biscuit and hash rounds from Hardee's!!! That made my day get slightly better.
8 AM
We were almost ready to head to Wally World to pick up a few things that we needed (beach towels, sunscreen, snacks, drinks and some fishing tackle)
8:45 AM
Arrive at Wally World to grab the few needed items and hit the beach! With towels, sunscreen, snacks and drinks loaded in cart, I ventured off to the outdoors department, where I find my sweet DH standing with a tackle box, tackle, and bait. Then he remembers that his fishing license is expired...GREAT, there is NO ONE in this department. We found someone to call that department back to their station....20 minutes later....no one has arrived. We have them call again, and managed to grab a cheap cooler, and 2 chairs while waiting......10 minutes later, here he comes....all chipper, don't worry about the fact that you made us stand here for 30 flippin' minutes waiting on you!! What's that all about? 15 minutes later, DH and I both have a fishing license, and we head to check out.....$170 later (this includes the fishing licenses). Oh this is way more expensive than I planned on...it's a day at the beach for goodness sake!
9:45 AM
HEADED TO THE BEACH!! WOO HOO!! Finally!!
10:15 AM
Arrive at beach parking lot.....every jerk in the world was there with boats and jet ski's....finding a place to park was next to impossible...HOWEVER, we succeeded!!! I managed to get the cooler loaded with drinks and bottled water out of the van and head to the big box meter (after all, DH carried all poles, tackle box AND my large bag of snacks, towels, book, purse, sunscreen, etc. down to the beach). I paid the $3.00 to park and headed down the board walk to claim my spot of semi-paradise.
10:30 AM
I made it to the spot that my DH had claimed to be greeted by a 335 pound man that looked at me and said "Keep an eye on my daughter, see my wife out there? I'm going out there to crab with her, and we will be out for a while, just look out for her, she likes to run off. Her name is Sandy (how ironic). Sandy, you be good and stay here so that she can keep an eye on you. DON'T run off!" Ok...first of all, I came to the beach to spend time with MY FAMILY, NOT BABYSIT YOUR KID!! However, because I felt extremely sorry for this little girl, I didn't say anything to the big F*%($&. Now, I am babysitting and watching my own kids. How did this happen to me???? I just wanted ONE day at the beach, just ONE......that's all I get each year is one day. This is not turning out like I planned.

The lousy hum drum of day to day and a little excitement....
Well, let me first tell you that as of last night, I have nearly everything I need clothing wise for my eldest to start her second year of middle school! YAY ME! (Thank you Goodwill and Salvation Army for having such a wonderful selection!!)
So, I started the day by removing all of the tags from the clothes and washing them. Then, I ventured onto my lovely desktop computer to check out a blog that my sister has insisted that I start following (which I found out that I can do that via facebook and twitter! Again, YAY! LOVE my facebook and twitter accounts). So, this is the website http://www.heavenlyhomemakers.com . If anyone that may happen to read this oh so lonely blog feels so inclined, should definitely check out. I first thought this woman was just extreme and way off her rocker, however, after thought, she has many valid points.
I have recently been told that my hard work at couponing and cutting our grocery bill down to the bare minimum I could possibly spend was JUNK and that it was not healthy and I needed to do better (yes, I was told this by my 6 year old son). Granted, I already knew that macaroni and cheese, hamburger helper and rice a roni was HORRIBLE for my family, however, it is what fit into the very restricted budget, therefore, it is what made it's way into my cart and into our stomachs. So, I decided that I should re-evaluate our eating habits. I am now in the process of trying to figure out if there is any way possible to make my grocery bill still affordable, and the healthiest it can possibly be. I am looking into a company called Azure Standard that is apparently a very large co-op that delivers FRESH, ORGANIC foods all over the country via semi-truck OR UPS. They have drop sites so that multiple families may order and meet in one spot to collect their orders. Now, with that said, I will tell you that you must order a minimum of $50 (which is NOT hard to do according to their website) AND the total shipment must not be below $550. Now, if I were to do that on my own, it simply would not happen. I don't have an extra $550 to spend on ANYTHING, however, when you add in how many people are ordering and their each individual orders, it adds up, and is quite feasible. Now, I need to find out if they have a drop location anywhere remotely close to my house.
Needless to say, now I am obsessively looking for ways to feed my family REAL, natural foods, and present them in a way that will make them WANT to eat it. I will also be looking into Oberweis Dairy and trying to get my dairy products from them as they are a local source for fresh, organic dairy products.
That is my excitement for the day...what about you? Anything exciting where you are?
Until the mood strikes again...
Me :)

Life....or something that may resemble it slightly
So, here I sit, exactly 26 days before the official first day of school! I can't believe Summer is almost over, but it also feels like it has dragged on FOREVER.
Let me just say that LIFE is not exactly normal around here, but then again, what is normal? I'm not sure I know. Anyhow, between the constant bickering, WWE and sheer laziness my house looks like Hurricane XYZ has hit. I MUST get this fixed. 26 days, 26 days. I will make sure that it is under control in 26 days.
I have school shopping to finish, schedules to get from my faithful postman and sanity to find. Ok, so, the sanity part will have to wait for a while. It's more fun without it.
Laundry and dishes await my perseverance. I must answer their call.
Until my next random rambling...
Me......just me.

A New Perspective
So finding a new perspective in the least obvious place is always a surprise.
I have recently found a perspective that has cleared a lot of my thinking. I am honestly shocked and amazed. I have seen the power of prayer at work in the most wonderful way. I have received words of wisdom from unlikely sources. I am thankful for my stumble upon this wonderful source of inspiration.
Because of my "stumble", I have found new strength and realized that I am not to blame. The blame game is played way too often when we should be taking responsibility for our own actions and reactions.
To you, my inspiration. THANK YOU.
I will pray with a faithful heart, an open heart for change. Bigger change, better change.
