thoughts today

It's sad when people you were once so close with can become just another stranger you don't know... but either way keep in mind times change so do people, just make sure when u change it's for the better...things happen in our lives to teach us lessons and make us stronger, and when this happens we have strangers becoming new friends

Ghosts lake review

Well we love October and always looking for new scary places to go...this week it happened to be in conneaut lake Pennsylvania. This was a drive for me I back tracked a bit cause I had to pick everyone up so took me 2 and half hours of driving one way. I was fully loaded in the esclade :) and we where off for a road trip.I left at 2:30 got to the lake at 6:45 . My sister is the planner she wasn't happy I was a hour late... I always pick on her but this time she was  right! But we still got there early! We got our tickets at the door they where 25 each and kids 10 and under was 17 . This was so different than any other haunted attraction I have ever been too. There was a amusement park but people also lived there... like a ride then beside it was a families house! Different and not where I would live but still neat... there was 13 houses and attractions we worked through. If you can make it past the chainsaws you will be fine :) I was going to bring my youngest ( 7 ) but I it may have been too scary but I should have it would have been ok for him! We all where a bit disappointed on this one... don't get me wrong was good but surely not worth 6hours round trip worth. However last weekend was pumpkin festival and had all kinds of booths and food. We didn't have much time to look through:( it takes 2 full hours to walk through. We went in at 7 walked out at 9:30 however you have to wait in 13 lines!!!! And they got real long some where least hour and half long line.. with 13 lines that can be a long time... thank my sister because we had no lines get there early, if you go. I personally would not go again there are better ones out there. There was 13 houses to get through but some where so short. But the fog was horrible no one could see eyes burning and couldn't breathe a lot of people got escorted out and had a lot of medical problems. Over all it was ok. The rollercoaster at the end was fun, but old wooden one so it's ruff nothing scary just pitch black! Anyone else go? Scare factor I say it was 4/10

chances

most important thing you can give someone is a chance... but like anything if you are giving something, people get greedy and soon its not appreciated and they just expect it .....be smart enough to understand the limit of chances

Aspin's day camp for cub scouts 2013

We had day camp for cub scouts for 3 days.  I went with him everyday them me and Jay both went Friday. Aspen had so much fun!  He was the first scout to catch a fish!  And did a krayfish.  He shot bbs guns,  slingshots, and bow and arrow.  He even shot the poker chip out with the bow: ) he's all proud he is now a wolf.  He also b pi ght this first aid kit at the trading post there..  he was so excited to buy that!  He carries it around with him and gets excited when he needs to use something out of it: ) they grow up so fast enjoy them while they are small! 

Cub scout duty this week was ...

So aspin and I worked the lemonade stand for cub scouts today!  He did great and really loves to make them.. talking about making them here and for everyone and not telling them the top secrete recipe: ) soo cute.  He really is a sweetheart.  was a hot day but we had fun hot sticky mess: )

where does the time go ?... people say it a lot and you wont believe it but ...

People always told me growing up wow time goes so fast ... or when u meet the long far out family member who has not seen u since u where a baby would say wow u grew up so fast .. we use to roll our eyes and just say yeah .. but thinking yeah right time is dragging ? or was i the only one . either way i look back on my past 13 years and think wow how my life changed and wonder how them 13 years went by so fast ?... january 10th my son turned 12 !!! 12 !? what ? next year he will be a teenager ! and as i look at him growing up it doesn't seem like it was that long ago i was his age . I was a teen mom as well. Even tho it wasn't something u heard of often or maybe a few of us got pregnant in high school .. but nothing like it is portrayed  in todays media ! And at least from my perspective it was looked at a bit different. You hear of everyone having families young back in my day lol ( 12 years ago ) it was like o wow so and so is pregnant with a roll of eyes .. and a little part of me ( even tho i am 100% AGAINST judgement ) it might be a little better world if it still was like that maybe if it wasn't glorified in the media . ( we didnt have facebook when i was 17 lol no cell phones )  But its not so here is my experience , outlook , and advice , from living through it and looking back on the same situation in todays reasoning ...

here is my advice looking back on it now ....

 no matter what guy comes in and out of your life ( or for guys same with girls ) people will always lie, cheat, rude, or honest . there are all types of people out there ! you want to find the best people to influence you in life for whatever your passion in life is ... but how do you find it ? we have to go through a ton of assholes to find the perfect friend or perfect husband but no matter how hard it seems at the time trust me it will pay off in the end ! only treat people or talk about others the way you wouldnt mind hearing things about yourself. always have respect for others but do not let others life expectations interfere with yours. when you are my age you will have a handful of friends you still keep in contact with after highschool and as contact i don't just mean a friend on Facebook ! if you find yourself hating someone .. dont waste your time ! you wont get along with everyone in life ! just a fact u cant too many wide variety of opinions someone is bound to clash ! if you dont like or agree with them just ignore them ! dont let them get to you .. half the time your biggest haters are your biggest fans some hate themselves so they try to bring down others.. pray for them , smile and move on its not worth the time ! if you have someone who talks to you about others when they are not there trust me 100% they will talk about you to others when you are not there .. careful who u call friends and when they "act" like they care half them want to hear your problems because 1. they are happy you have them or 2. they want to find out just to have a story for others ! sounds rude and no idea how some can do that ?.. or you are reading this and the one doing it either way its not right ! always be honest the truth will always come out in the end anyway .. if you are lying to others you are lying to yourself ! no need to be someone for someone else as long as you are YOU that is all that matters you will attract more people being yourself than you would being someone fake .... you are only responsible for your own actions , make them worth it ! someday you will look back on life and will all be a memory .. make them worth it think it through the only thing that follows you for good through life is your own life story ! you wont be able to ever rewright it ! be the best author u can and teach as many as you can on the way !

my experience ....
 I was the one pregnant in high school .. with a questionable future ! I was the one they talked about, looked down on , or judged against ! and when they would look at me and say you ruined your life, or what are you going to do now , or the fake friends i had who acted like they supported me for what happened yet ran their mouths behind my back .. either way i always believed everything happens for a reason and these people who talked about me didn't know me they didn't know my story or even must not have known me for the person i am or they would have never talked ?... you have these people in life but i am blessed and thankful for the handful of real friends out of high school i did keep ~
I was always the "old soul" in high school I grew up fast and just how i would always be the "mother" out of the group ( even way before i really was )  i personally was so happy being pregnant young but if i would give advice now looking back just on the world alone i would ask the young ones to enjoy their life young family will always wait .. you want to find the right one and finding the right one with a little one is hard !!

My reality out of how my life was being a pregnant teen mom ( not the tv series ) I was out on my own young own bills .. I went to high school full time went to work right after school all night then back up to do it all the next day my whole time being pregnant it was hard and trying not only physically but its also a bit hard watching your fiends being able to have free time because they have no worries and you did and them not understanding ...
but on a true note kevin ( my son ) was the best thing to happen to me ! was it easy NO .. and being young you move a lot and just growing up with someone you are raising i think it made us closer ! i love him very much ... he is growing up to be such a well rounded kind hearted person and to know that i am a part of that is a blessing ! No matter the age you are we all have to be a influence on kids if you have kids or not ! set the right example because a new generation is looking at you on how to be guided ! ... make strong morals and high goals stay smart stay educated and stay true to yourself no one else will !

with that being said ( i wrote this in a way not to try to promote teen moms ) but I am truly blessed in my life ! my life played out amazing some have it easier than others you cant just look at one happy story be the motive to it "might" happen to me you have to way out each situation becuase like i said you are only responsible for your own actions someone else may have other motives

i didn't know if i wanted to wright this even if i was a teen mom i can look back on it and still say it is something i would not promote yes i did it .. and i bet if it did happen by accident you could handle it to but so much of life to do is when you are young just cherish it !!! then you can relive it all over again raising a family when you are ready .. and i know that sounds double standard out of me but its the truth young moms are amazing but however thats all i have known maybe young teenager is better that is one thing i would never know <3 be="be" blessed="blessed" chance="chance" dont="dont" for="for" it="it" miss="miss" nbsp="nbsp" out="out" p="p" reading="reading" take="take" thanks="thanks" to="to" your="your">

and after all all these people who said you couldnt do it looks up to you now as a inspiration its a blessing and im thankful for how everything played out in my life story and heres to a new chapter after all when we look back on life we want it to be a amazing story !
So here is to my son that turned 12 happy birthday .. you make my life amazing everyday cherish these times u will look back and say wow u are growing up to be a amazing teenager !

christmas meaning .. or lost ?

I have always been a HUGE fan of holidays .. im not going to lie i love to shop , love to cook , and get together with the ones who u care about ! its just fun ! but i also at the same time honestly find it disturbing ( and not all will agree with me i know this ) but here are my thoughts on this topic ... i grew up religious ( my nan and pap where my dad was not ) so i got both sides of their beliefs, myself i think of myself as a educated person and research everything with this being said i am religious and carry that through my lifestyle daily ... some do not this is fine that is freedom of choice but i have never been a huge fan of SANTA in my house and with me having 2 kids its hard cause he is everywhere schools, malls , tv ect ... the real meaning to me is jesus birthday .. u don't see this much anymore it seems jesus has been taken over by santa but santa is a fakeiscious character ...? are they somehow implying jesus is as well ? was santa made up for our youth to get blinded and forget or mislead y we really have the holiday ? maybe its just how i think and i post my thoughts a lot on my personal Facebook but i try to keep it out of my "public" view just for simple reason that there are SOO many views just in general in life no one will ever have 100% answer to anything life is all a matter of opinion but i would ask each of u to really think about y our religious holidays are being taken over by santa and the easter bunny ! don't get me wrong it is sooo fun magical for kids to get excited and have fun over the holiday but my kids are under the understanding that its for fun like a game but the real reason is and always will be god and jesus ! if u are religious u know how they say some things are satan creations .. there is evil in this world but santa ? .. where would i think of this idea ..? he wears red , he comes down a fire chimney, he knows if u are good or bad all year long and has a list ? was this made up to mock religious followers or is it a act of satan ? this is a thought only u can answer just how i looked at it do i tell my kids these thoughts on santa absolutely not right now but will i educate them later as they grow up ? yes i will ! i just dont want to see the true meaning disappear and i slowly see this happen year by year .... if is fun to shop and buy for others to surprise them excite them and have fun but should u lie ? that choice is urs .. have fun buy gifts eat food and live ur life but be thankful for the life u where given whatever ur religious or non religious thoughts are but keep in mind some things will be blinded in a public eye they will advertise what makes money and kids make them a ton of money dont let them get their soul as well as ur pocket be blessed just a blog post for some thought take it how u want either way how u celebrate have a blessed holiday i am thankful for each one of u ! <3 much="much" nbsp="nbsp" p="p" u="u" very="very">

what is the world coming to ?

i am sickened by the horrid things happening all around the world lately ( not just today ) but wow going into a kids school is sick minded and truly a shame my blessings are with everyone world wide who lost or has to live with the change of a loved one gone i know it is hard .. but in a time of panic i would like you to please keep this in mind .... my nan and my pap where my rock in my life biggest support system i had ! and here is some of our life story ... my nan watched her  daughter ( who would be my moms sister ) was 17 she was shot in front of my nan  my aunt had passed away long before i met her and growing up they would talk of her but never much on what happened .. my pap was a avid gun lover ( noooo it was not anything to do with their guns ) he taught me safety and from that day on i am sure it was for more of safety !!! bad things happen to good people its a sick world we sadly will always have people who kill however , guns , beatings , drugs, car wrecks ect list goes on and on ... u cant be shielded from reality nothing in this wide world will make u safe my pap always told me the only thing worst than a bad guy with a gun is a good guy without a gun ... people are unstable u cant change that but u can protect urself ! u have to what if it didn't happen at a school what if they came to ur house what would u do run for the phone ? what if they cut the phone lines ? i was raised around guns my mom and dad had gun shops all over the world they where in all kinds of magazines .. i seen a lot of people saying we need stricter gun laws ... criminals do not follow laws ! period .......... drugs guns prostitutes ect whatever they don't do it before saying and going with the media saying yes lets take guns keep in mind and look at the stats .... all these shootings do u think they where registered gun owners ?... have u ever heard of a massacre at a gun show ????..... with thousands and thousands of guns wake up people the only thing that would make this heart breaking situation worst is the good people without guns sometimes cops cant make it to u in time i know this for a fact i lost someone by a gun accident i would never say take them away and neither would anyone in my family just keep in mind if they cant kill u with a gun it will be a knife , fork , fist , rock ,  rape, anything .... reality of it is education raise kids right and teach morals if they are unstable we need to medicate them be blessed from my family incident  to urs be blessed ur only responsible for ur own actions live life the best u can and the happiest ! things like this have always happened we have the privilege to hear about it more because of the internet ! stay alert and stay blessed sorry for anyones loss also keep in mind i never NOT once heard my nan or pap put the blame on anyone !! they always told me never hold grudges that is for god to judge and sometimes good people get hurt... be blessed and in my thoughts 

sometimes the truth can be misleading ...

wondering how some of u come into the grasp of what u think "truth"is ?.... like who do u rely on to give u the truth ..Ah the truth... where are you? Why are you so shy? Why are you so hard to find? Where to put your trust on? Who to trust? Is it even possible? Do you really believe is still possible to know THE truth with all the greed and self centered people or are we slowly watching our morals and future generations to be destroyed or was the truth ever around to begin with ;) just my thoughts but maybe some of u can relate to me ?.... have u ever been lied to by someone u love ?... a boyfriend a best friend a parent ?... if someone can lie to u that should know u better than anyone y would u put all ur trust in the "real media" world with one group of people who are all owned by the same people u don't think they will lie to u ?... not just the media with everything sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction u have all the information u need at ur fingertips right now research it from all angles and make up ur own truth .... cause in the end life is all a matter of opinion make wise choices but better yet make sure they are educated choices not everyone will agree with u on everything that is fine just make sure u researched it where u are happy to say what u believe in .. i see so many uneducated on one extreme to another and who will stand up and say what they believe but yet not knowing the basic facts ... sad world we live in don't get blinded get educated ! and dont take anyones beliefs and think they are so wrong and there is ONLY one way to think this is not true we are all aloud to have our own outlooks on life but take others thoughts into mind as well never be close minded u never know ... and always show love not hate  <3 lots="lots" love="love" nbsp="nbsp" of="of" span="span" xoxoamandakisses="xoxoamandakisses">

for the support ...

as another year adds on ... and another year wiser, you cant help but stop and look back and wonder y the time seems to go by so fast ... mins into hours into days into months then into years ... never let any small time slip away enjoy every little part good and bad because someday we will look back and it will all be a faint memory the only thing that lasts with us to the end is our morals, memories and heart so follow it... so many of you have messaged me saying happy birthday.. and im so grateful ! thanks for the support not just today everyday someone always asks wow how can you open up so much of your life and put it online .. i had to think about it strangely for a sec because i have been online for so many years i couldn't imagine life without friends all over the world and to me i enjoy it and feel grateful ! we may not all have the same interests or style but either way whatever video, tweet, or fb post  u seen to get u to start to watch my videos and in somehow be interested enough to get to know me and my family .. thank you ! this goes to show in the world there is too much judgement we all can relate in someway somehow no matter what language u speak no matter where in the world u live and no matter if we look different or not when u start looking around we are all more alike than some of us would like to admit (: either way just wanted to say thanks for taking the time out to tell me happy birthday and taking the time to read this and as always be blessed

a friend in a weird situation

well i ran into giant eagle today .. just to grab some things for a cookout , i was looking at lettus when this woman  ( maybe mid 70s) came up to me and started rubbing my arm asking if it hurt lol noticing it was my tattoos she was talking about, i said well not as bad as u would think depends on where u getting it .. she told me she always wanted a peppy le pue ( skunk ) tattoo but she is too old now i said nahhh just go get it (; she leaned in and said my husband would kick my ass and whispered this haaaaa i said awe must be a man thing that is what my husband tells me every time i come home from getting one . she left smiling i ran back into her few isles down she was looking at a box of crackers real confused, she said to me my husband went all these years not diabetic but now he is .. i said well i have this app on my phone might be easier ( foodacate ) it gives u a grade a-d she was impressed and said well ill just walk with you the rest of way through u seem to be helpful (: i didn't mind she was a bit slower but nice to talk to.. i gave her some coupons for items she had in her cart and told her they doubled up to a dollar. we got to talking and in the back of my mind she just put me so much in mind of my nan , from how she treated others, how she talked about her husband , to somewhat how she looked.. idk didn't think too much about it after we checked out she walked to my car as she was parked just a few cars up from mine and said can i ask you a question i said sure .. she said can i have ur number and maybe when u go shopping again i can tag along u helped and saved me alot i said sure . as she got out her pencil and paper out to write down my number (: i said here i have a ton of extra shampoo and conditioner i got free today .. she was impressed how do u get it for free ? just said coupons and matching up sale items its hard to explain ill teach u though haha she was so grateful and would have thought i gave her 1,000 dollars she hugged me and walked away saying ill call u ... then she turned around and said i dont think i introduced myself im sorry hugged me again as she was hugging me said my name is Margaret ..... i must have had a weird look on my face she said what i said nothing (: call when u want to go im always around as long as my kids are in school.. then when she pulled out i seen her pull over to this woman and her young kids ( the mom was holding a sign saying my family needs help waiting for goververment help ) then as i was thinking she was giving her some change ( as i did when i pulled into giant eagle ) as i finished loading my things and putting my cart away i pulled out by the family in need and noticed the woman i gave the shampoo and conditioner to had given it to her goes to show do good for others sometimes they will pass on that favor !

this touched me more than one ways for the reason right off the start how this woman was talking to me ect put me in mind of my nan when she left and told me her name Margaret i got a little weird just because that was my nans name as well !!!! everything  must happen for a reason

treat others the way u want to be treated and goes to show never judge by tattoos, age, skin color whatever 

how do u know me ?

me and jay just told this story .. thought i would share <3 br="br" nbsp="nbsp"> years and years ago before we ever met i use to work at this advertising paper where i would go around and pick up ads within 100 mile radius .. jay had a car bussiness with his friend altho i never stopped there he somehow knew me ... this is how news travels

i have always dressed a bit off (; ( so some would say ) and i have tattoos and wear a lot of jewelry well this older man ( late 60s) had a carpet business i always liked going there he was very nice but he never knew my name he would always call me the gypsy i thought it was just his thing between me and him but how news travels he must have talked of me often ! somehow ppl 100 miles away new me as gypsy well my friend went to the bar one night she said she had someone she wanted me to meet ... this person was jay he looked at me ( never seeing me before ) and said omg u r the gypsy ... i smiled and said how did u know this ? i guess this older man new some of jays friends and always would mention me (: me and jay have been together ever since that night at the bar ... but 2 years after we started dating and him selling the car lot i found out that he bought my car i drove for the advertising business (:  years before we met (: was it fate ? im thankful for my husband and just love this story had to share <3 nbsp="nbsp">

prank went wrong or maybe not !!!!

well if you are on my facebook u may have seen the video that was on abc news of parents giving their kids bad christmas gifts ect toilet paper , old banana , half eaten sandwich i watched this and admit laughed so hard i wanted to do it as me and my friends kids got together to exchange gifts ... we did it today (; and some hated it older ones kindof caught on but i was impressed with the way my kids reacted ! aspin i gave him a aa battery just one in a baggie he was confused at first but the whole way home he just talked about that battery ( they did get real toys as well after the joke one ! ) but all he was about was the battery what he was going to put it in and how he can always use batteries i was honestly touched lol a joke turned back on me and honestly made me realize what great kids i have ! i always taught them to be thankful for everything and this showed they are ! even as spoiled as they are !!!! kevin got a gravy packet him being 11 could laugh it off but when we got home he comes up and asks mom did u grab that gravy packet i got i said yeah he said o good i didn't want it to get thrown away with the trash <3 very thoughtful ! i did watch some videos on youtube on this and WOW some kids reactions were unreal ! i think this was a good this to do and teaches them that some are not as blessed as others and as some go through hard times alot of kids do not get a lot of gifts so we should be thankful for all god hands us good and bad ! i also think it is very important to learn young on how to take a joke (; and 100% happy with the reactions i got some say it was mean but honestly the kids didn't care one bit and yes they got real gifts after ! but keep this in mind as we ( most of us ) open hundreds of dollars of items this year for christmas understand not all kids will get gifts or lucky to have a good meal that day ! christmas turned into just a gift buying holiday we need to teach our kids its Jesus birthday and to be thankful for family and then the material things should always be last !! a laugh is far more important than a ipod anyway dont get me wrong i love to shop!! buy get and give but keep ur morals first then do what u can with the money u have cause material items u cant take with u in the end all u have left is memories anyway make them last ! this will be a great video to look back on ! i also think this teaches them to be thankful for what gifts they do get even if it is a battery and a gravy packet (; and u wonder y the kids go for the big box instead of the big expensive toy inside ...? think about it and be blessed i hope u all have a amazing holiday !!!!! teach about santa but learn about jesus first be blessed thanks for reading !

those in need one voice can be heard

me and my friend put together a donation drive .. just the 2 of us and now it is a cover story on the local papers ! im proud of how it is going and we will be collecting donations sat from 9-6 .. will be a cold day as we will be outside but will be worth it .. as i see the holiday rush of ppl running around buying pointless gifts ( its fun ) but i wish a lot more would be aware of reality some dont have the money for food on the table or everyday nessary items we use daily tooth brush tooth paste ect .. and sadly some who are in need are afraid to ask ... we need to reach out tho those in need we all are people all have feelings and a lot of us have the same hopes and dreams ... some just need a extra help to be able to reach them .. and boost there self esteem .. life is hard no one should go through it alone or with a struggle life is too short u cant take money or ur items with u when u leave so help as many as u can be blessed and i hope u have great holidays

be blessed

nan

Dec 1 1929 , the best part of my life was born ... little did i know but looking back on her almost 84 years of life wow what a inspiration .... my nan was my rock she was always there , never judging , and watched my oldest son kevin daily while i was in school , or worked , she loved kids more than anything and her boys so she would say ( my 2 sons ) she was always there with caring heart and open arms no matter what .. and to anyone neighbors she would always help out her family , and our friends ! everyone always called her nan not sure if too many ppl know her by her real name just nan .... she touched im sure many hearts more than i would know of ! her and my pap where married for 64 years !!! u dont see that much they got together when they where 16 and today she would have been 84 thats a LONG time guys ! a lot of us will never see the married life for that long some may but always have gave me hope and hope this touches some high school sweet hearts and shows it is possible nothing comes easy !! nothing u have to work hard for good payoff everyone will fight and argue or not meet eye to eye sometimes but its those who can make the best of it and get passed it that matters and will make it in the long run ! never run from your problems even if its a girl boy problems or whatever it is u have to give life ur all !!!! i can honesty say i have NEVER seen my nan and pap fight im sure they have but one thing i never witnessed ! i was raised with good morals , not to judge , and just take one day at a time , don't focus too much on looks or material things with time this fades the only thing with u till the end is your heart ! so follow it ... and this is what got my nan ... she had heart problems it was her valve that pumps the blood out was slowly closing ... i remember this day like it happened yesterday i just found out i was pregnant with my second son few days after this i find out the drs had given her 6 months to a year to live ... wow they say with every bad news comes a good but alot of stress for me to carry around at the time .... i worried about it everyday she was not going to go for the surgery as i tried to talk her into it at the time i guess i was being self centered because it is not what she wanted she always replied to me by amanda god will take me if i get the surgery or not when its your time to go you just go ... she was worried about the recovery and she was older and just didn't want to chance it .. so finally we had to accept that ... she got to see my son being born and celebrated 5 more birthdays after that ! she passed this year and wow i miss her so much words can not express as sad as i am still to this day .. i look back and wow i am so blessed she taught me EVERYTHING and i mean everything the person i am today is because of her ! same with my kids wow she taught them so much and they loved her so much !!! after my pap living with my nan for 70 years there he is and he stands alone it breaks my heart i go see him all the time but i cant fix his pain i feel useless but he is doing good he is so positive as well and i know that is thanks to nan as well .... my pap loved her so much and her last few days i just wish i could take his pain away i remember it all to clear ... but she had lost her daughter in a tragic accident her daughter was 17 her name was robin .... my name is robin after her <3 she talked about robin all the time i look up and im so thankful she is now with her ... i have amazing angels looking down on me even though i wasn't around to meet my aunt im sure she is amazing as i have heard so many great stories ... im thankful for everything good bad and how i got to who i am today and i am thankful to share this story and hope to inspire one of u reading this cherish the moments u have u may not know at the time u are doing it but when u look back all will be memories and in the end that is all u can take out of here with u so make it worth it !!!! life is a journey but the destination is heaven .. dont take life too hard trust me it will all work out in the end be blessed and today is my nans birthday i hope she heard me tell her that <3

life can be a bitch but u have to deal with it (;

real life is not about what the way things could have been its what about what all u make of it .....it will leave u stressed out .. left out wondering the dumbest things .. let everything get under our skin..trying to impress someone fucked in the head but at the end of the day after all said and done get ready to go back at them positive or negative doesn't matter when u living u have to deal with all them leaving life and im happy (; life is all about the things u will never figure out who chooses whats right or wrong all a matter of opion keep ur morals to ur standards its ur life just make sure u kno what u want its ur life but it can be a bitch so u have to learn to deal with it xoxoxox

holiday seasons what to remember ...

i would be the first one to tell you i love holiday seasons ! i love to bake , cook , decorate , shopping (; and family ! i love the snow and long cold nights ... but as we go into the rush of the holiday seasons please keep in mind someone is always less fortunate ... as you go passed the bells ringing for change , give what u can .. if u cant give change exchange a smile , tech your kids the meanings behind y we celebrate these holidays .. other than just a man in a white beard and red suit bringing toys... keep in mind as u sit with ur family to eat and share time together there is someone out there sleeping on the streets with no family and no hot meal .. keep in mind your blessed but also try to share the blessings whatever way you can ... keep im mine some kids do not have loving familys , will not get a toy , as u look out of your warm house into the snow keep in mind those who cant afford to heat their house if they are lucky enough to have a house .. keep in mind the world does not owe u ne thing ! everything u have its not luck ur blessed ! ... true story ... last year i was christmas shopping , i run into a guy with not so great clothes a bit of a smell and no teeth i looked at him and he smiled back as happy as could be as im holding all my bags walking out of the mall he was sitting with no bags barley a winter coat on as i loaded my car i must admit a little scared he got up started walking away and said have a blessed holiday smiled waved and walked away .. as i started my car and thought wow its cold i couldnt help but wonder where he was walking to and thought to myself how blessed i was to have a car and money to be able to go shopping .. and honestly as i shopped with rude people and the bumps and rude words from others buying hundreds of dollars worth of items the nicest person i met was outside the mall with nothing .. sometimes bad things happen to good people keep this in mind !!! im sure alot of unfortunate people didn't wish for that im sure they have dreams and hopes and wants just like all of us ! but he had his hopes and smiles on ! he is blessed for that ! we all have went through hard times .. but really look back at whatever u think of what u thought was a bad day .. then get educated and look around someone always has it worst off than u ! it breaks my heart as much food and things in the us let alone throw away there should never be a person going to bed hungry or not warm !!!! i wish i could help everyone i cant y i try to bring awareness to you reading this .. hold a door give a smile or give what u can just don't take give back as well too ! i hope everyone has a blessed great holidays ! remember sometimes the people we look at and think we would never have anything in common are the most similar people we can find (; worry about the person inside xoxo <3 amanda

will my balloon make it to heaven ?

this blog is going to take a lot out of me to write but was so touching to me i felt like i had to share

as most of you know i lost my nan a few months ago really missed and in my heart forever !

i had my youngest son at the dollar tree i was getting some things for a video and said he could pick out a toy ... what did he pick out ? a balloon but it was the story he told me as we where standing there looking at craft items he looked at me and said im going to get this balloon and let it go and maybe nanny will see it and come back down when it looses air .. as i try not to completely loose it and break down crying i said with tears in my eyes awe that is so thoughtful of u ! he then said well remember when i lost my smiley face balloon did nan see that .. heaven is hard to explain in the first place but to a 5 year old .. as i had tears in my eyes i found a smile and realized how very blessed we where that my nans caring thoughts live inside me and followed onto my kids she has always meant so much and this proves she will always live on in heart ... wow i miss her so much but im so thankful to have someone like her looking after us as she always has .. .. ( i wasnt sure if he would change his mind after the ride home with the balloon ) but aspin then released his balloon not saying a word just got out of the car and let it go looking up till u could no longer see it and he just watched ... after it was no longer in site he looked at me and said it must still have air in it ... walking in the house with tears going down my face he said mom its not going to work is it .. i said i don't think so buddy but was really thoughtful and im sure u brought tears to nans eyes as well but she is watching over u but u cant see her ... and that was about it such a inspirational story but so sad at the same time .. this took alot out of me to hear and watch but wow i truly am so blessed and i have such thoughtful kids ... give up a toy to get a chance to see a loved one again i wish it was that easy .. but will meat again thanks for sharing my todays moments be blessed and be open (:

choices ?

we all have alot of choices .. when u have a choice and dont make it that is a decision in its self its never hard to make a decisions when u kno what ur values are keep good decisions come from experience and that is done by making alot of wrong ones time is never on our side just make the best choice o well if its the wrong one smile and move on there will be to many more choices to worrie about one wrong one be blessed ♥

tattoos and views ?

The world is divided into two kinds of people: those who have tattoos, and those who are afraid of people with tattoos, ..The tattoo attracts and also repels because it is different, i always say show me someone with a tattoo and ill show u someone with a interesting past and stories to follow beauty is in the eye of the beholder and only one in control of ur body is u never lower ur standards if they cant get passed appearance are they really worth ur time ? only one judgement day and i hope he likes color (; u came in the world just wearing skin u will go out the same make it tell ur story lol sorry guys im bored and rambling tonight

animals need help

i was going down a busy highway just started to rain ... i seen this huge dog jump over the highway divider i was about half mile behind and in passing lane i slowed down hit my 4ways no one even slowed down i made it over to the side of the road and got out and tried to get this dog to come to me without getting hit u think people seen me and would have helped while i ran across the road ( as it was a flat and u could see for miles ) no one stopped few barley hit the breaks but i had to save this dog b4 he got hit i seen he had a collar with a tag on i finally got him he was very friendly ! she was a lab maybe a mix but did have lab in her but me in mind of my lab ! and i would want someone to pick my dog up if for some reason they got away !!! i called the number on her tag hopping someone would answer cause if i brought another dog home my husband would kill me LOL i had this 100 lb dog in my little vw bug and headed down the highway about 15 mins later this lady calls me back saying omg i dont know if its my dog .... um lady it has ur number on her collar is what i was thinking so whatever she put me on hold to go look for her dog lmfao she comes bk on and says omg she is gone i said i have her in my car told her where i was driving and she was about 30 mins away so this dog ran from home and was 35 mins away from home and on the highway ! she is lucky to be alive met the lady and she got her dog she was thankful and i was glad i could help ! i always try to help those who cant help themselves and we need to watch over our little angels ( animals ) just a word of advice if u are somewhere and someone needs help .. HELP makes the world a better place ! one voice i believe goes far be blessed ..

sometimes u have to count your blessings not whats wrong

well i have been off youtube and blogger for a week or so ... if seems when one thing happens wrong it all happens at once ? i guess this is called snowballing affect .... i have felt this for the passed month and as much as i think positive i cant help but to think to myself y ? but i always say when u loose grip .. its too late it will be lost .. so i keep holding on , but wanted to let u know how i was doing and what has been going on as i feel like i owe it to you guys <3 you alll are amazing for the support and i have been so thankful for the cards and everything and kind words all of you have said to me ! truly from the heart thank you ! first it was my nan yesterday was one month without her in my daily life this is a hard reality to grab ne way .. but i know i have a amazing angel looking after me ...! then my car broke i have it fixed now so thankful for that and today it is my dog ford ( my lab ) i took him to the vet it was his knee and he is still there going in for surgery tomorrow ): im sure he will be fine but he has never been in a cage lol poor guy and the recovery time is 4 months so hoping it all goes well he is like one of my kids ! but everything happens for a reason even if you dont know the reason at the time you will get there and in the end i hope to meet you with a smile ! be blessed stay strong and thanks for the support xoxo

be blessed my thoughts are with anyone who has lost a loved one

Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines, my thoughts are with those who where affected by 911 ( everyone ) but also keep in mind ....even if it doesn't make the news we loose thousands a day keep them in ur prayers too ♥ be blessed

old coupon new friends ha

people never seem to surprise me ... i must give off a friendly vibe to strangers cause i have more

strangers that come up and just start talking to me than i do people i know sometimes it seems

i talk to anyone so i don't mind at all and find it interesting and fun ... well i was in line at the deli

waiting on getting some lunch meat i have this older couple ( early 70s maybe ) as i was minding

my own business i had a feeling i was getting stairs and as i am in shorts hair up and a tank top

alot to stair at with my tattoos and ears so i expect it .. i looked to the side and lady was and she

just smiled i smiled back and turned away then she gets real close to me ha ? i turn to the side

again and she proceeds to ask me if i sleep in all my earrings , asking if they hurt getting them

done and how her husband didn't want her to get her ears pierced once and pulled off her clip

on earrings i smiled this couple was such a fun couple laughing and joking and her saying

she was going to get her stomach pierced ( as she said it ) assuming belly button asked if i had

that done i said yeah she said o my grand daughter has all that done but ur ears are impressive

haha they where asking if i slept in them and the husband starts laughing so hard saying i bet

its a pain in the ass taking all them out LOL the wife looks at him smiles and looks at me

and says hes a pain in the ass and has no piercing haha then the husband had to show me his

tattoo that he got of his wife's name when he was in the army lol laughs so hard and said that

was a mistake i had to keep her since its on my arm they were just too funny and random

and so like me only 50 some years older .. guess this is a pointless story but this just goes to

show u no matter what u look like or how different the people look u all can have something

in common not everyone is judgmental and this is a nice reality to have , i love all the random

people i start a conversation with and the lady hugged me when i walked away ( agree bit weird )

but my nan would have done the same thing walking away she says u r too beautiful as i smiled

and said thanks hun u take care but here i thought before i talked to them they were starring

to be rude or just to judge but here they had more in common that what i thought just another

life story to show u to be nice to others even if u dont know them we all have our own story !

be blessed be thankful !

thanks for watching and be blessed and be creative (;

helping a stranger ?

well if you follow me on fb u know i picked up this woman today .......

she was walking when i went to the dollar tree on the highway ( nothing close to where she was at)

on the way home i passed her again as i looked in my rear view mirror something told me to turn

around as i went a mile out of my way ( divid highway ) i came back across her pulled over and

asked if she wanted a ride ... she was like o bless u ! got her many bags and a box she was caring

in my firebird was a tight fit as not to many words where said ( im sure a little embarassment she

felt ) but i didn't feel like that at all i asked well where u need to go she told me o hun i am going

to the homeless shelter with a smile i said ok.. just 2 miles down the road she said wow that

would have been a long walk ( as she was already out of breath and mid age women ) i smiled

and said well u where doing alot better than i would (; as she got out she grabbed my hand

and said bless u ! not much of a conversation in 2 miles but touched my heart i hope she

finds the strength to turn her life around i don't know her story but she seemed like a great

person going through a hard time i was thankful i could help out as i was going that way ne way

wasn't a big deal at all .... now to the young ones reading ... as i did a nice thing please understand

not everyone walking on the side of a road is a good person u are taking a risk when u do

something like this i NEVER pick ne one up when my kids are with me not because i don't want

to but because u never know the harm , people sadly do bad things when they are down and out

you could get robbed ect ... i try to do only in day light . you never want to put yourself at harm

but i also cant leave someone who needs help when i know i can help them ! jay use to HATE

when i did this !!! he would never understand y i would ever pick someone up i have done it

ever since i could drive ! but we grew up different ! !!!! i was always taught if u can help out

without completely going out of ur way do it ! help out people who need it even if u know them

or not we all are gods creatures ! as i told jay my story from today he shook his head and

did give a smirk ... but i know that women was so grateful and even if she didn't know my name

if i see her again ill just give her a smile .. when you are at the bottom u need a little hope to

find ur faith and dreams again i hope i added to hers ! as im sure a homeless shelter isn't the

most homey place to be im thankful she has a roof over her head ! and im glad i can add yet

another stranger to my friends list (: keep in mind i am NOT telling u to pick up strangers !

but u can help out ! even if its a smile or holding the door be a little thoughtful it doesn't take

much out of ur day and may make theirs ! be blessed be thankful

also 99% of the time i will not pick up someone who is asking for a ride this woman was

minding her own business walking sweating and huffing and puffing (; keep in mind we make

our own road to life make sure u walk a straight line (;
