15 studio albums, plus more...still touring, still making albums

My husband is now the newest member...of a Journey tribute bands named Departure. In researching this blog I found out there is another Journey tribute band named Departure in Atlanta as well, but this one is in Sacramento. My husband is not in any of the photos or anything yet, his first gig with them is New Year's Eve.

The Journey songs are now dancing through my head like sugar plums should be.

Fridge Photos

The time has come, for the old fridge photos to be replaced by this years Christmas card bounty. I LOVE cards with photos. I love seeing how much everyone has grown, and all that.

I do want to say this though, please, as parents, include yourselves in the photos! I send out cards with out myself in it, it's true, sometimes it is just impossible to get all of us in one place. In fact this year I can't even get all the kids in the same state for a photo in time for cards. But, I lvoe having the whole family up there smiling away. Think about it, who were friends first? Was it me and your kid, or you and me?

I'm just saying.

:)
SMILE EVERYONE!

Is It Just Me?

When one is a night owl, and one has children, it is often the deep seeded desire of that person to sleep in longer in the morning. The cries or yells, or general noise of the kids being awake is sometimes painful...
YET
When that kid finally sleeps in (maybe because of an antihistamine) a mom's heart may go into hyper-drive of "somethings wrong" and actually open the door to that kids room to make sure he is still breathing.


Or is it just me?

It has Pockets

A week or so ago my husband returned home from a gig with a cash payment. We were at the table at the time and he asked where my purse was. Now, you ladies out there know, you usually have a place that your purse sits all the time in your home. Right? You walk in the door and you sit it, or hang it in a specific place, or at least area. In our new home this spot has not been actualized yet. I keep trying different spots and nothing is really working out well. So he asked me and I said, "Well, I don't know, somewhere over there".
He handed me the bills and said, "Then here, put these in your bra." Which was slightly odd, especially since Spencer was sitting with us.
"Okay"

"Wait, those things have pockets?" Spencer piped in.
"Yes, yes they do"
"Wow, cool"

Sunday Shoe Lesson

I learned some valuable lessons from my shoes today.
I have this pair of sassy shoes. They are strappy, they are high, and they are the only pair that keeps my "long" jeans from rubbing on the ground. When I first bought them they fit great, perfectly, and they were oh so comfortable they way they were. Thing is, being leather straps and all, they stretched out.

This is a problem.

There are no buckles, no elastic, nothing to adjust. You slide your foot in and that's it, except now my foot slides around a bit in the shoe, resulting in the following observations of life:

Just because you are on stable ground, doesn't mean you are stable.

Slow down, and walk like a lady.

It only takes a tiny step the wrong direction to take you down a slippery slope.

You may think no one saw you stumble, but you're wrong, someone always does.

And finally, an obvious one:

Strappy sassy shoes are not the friend of toes when it's 36 degrees outside.
