Folks I know this isn't going to surprise you, but we live in a tumultuous world. After reading the news it's all I can do not to move to the middle of no where and hide from all the crazy. It makes it even harder when you are trying to raise children with a high set of moral values. I want my kids to be honest, kind, patient, loving and forgiving.
To do this I have to be a good example to counter act all the bad examples they see everyday. The only problem is I struggle with a few of those things so I took great pleasure in watching the guy in this first video get schooled!
Sorry kids, I'm probably not the example when it comes to turning the other cheek because I think obnoxious people like this should be punched. Thank goodness they have a Dad who is better example.

Now, I'm not going to leave you with that because as obnoxious as that guy was I wanted to show that there still are wonderful people out there. This is a two video segment and you have to watch them in the order I posted them to get the full effect.

I just want to say how grateful I am for people out there willing to give and sacrifice. You give us all hope.
Have a great weekend!

Friday Funny!
This has been a better week. I have been able to get chapters one and two finished and I am half way through chapter three. It's been hard to let some of the dialogue go. My characters can be so witty, but in the end some things have to be cut out.
My goal this week is to get up to chapter seven done. It's all in my head, but keeping my mind clear long enough to get it down has been a challenge. I ran the changes in the story by one of my editors and she felt it was a stronger story line so even though it means starting over and pushing out my publish date I think it was the right thing to do.
Now on to the Friday Funny! This week I found this video and I thought of my eleven and almost thirteen year old boy. (His birthday is on Monday!) They will get a kick out of it because it's accidental bathroom humor. I hope they enjoy. Happy Birthday Big Pay!

This second one has been around for a while, but I chuckle every time I see it. They have some musical version that are pretty catchy, but I just posted the original.

Friday Funny!
It's been a rough week people. We have had more snow, twenty plus inches of snow in the last fourteen days to be exact and my kids have been home for six of those days. Now don't get me wrong I love having my kids home, but I would have preferred to have all those days off with good weather so we could have gone out and done something fun. Instead they were stuck shoveling snow.
The second problem I ran into this week was with book two, Celtic Shadows. I was seventy thousand plus words into when I realized it sucked. (For those of you who don't know, seventy thousand words is equivalent to about three hundred and fifty pages.) It was going in the wrong direction so now I have to track back to where it went wrong and start again. I have a feeling it might be the second or third chapter. That's the joys of writing; rewriting and rewriting.
Anyway, now that I've finished my complaining I can get down to business which is the Friday Funny. For those of you who don't know math is not my favorite subject. I can do it, but I cringe anytime I have to. If I would have known this was an option I would have done this.

This second link made me laugh, but may not be appropriate for younger audiences due to the inappropriate use of a hang gun. I believe in gun safety and gun education and this is a very bad example. So please be cautious when impressionable children are present.

Friday Funny!
Yes, it's that time again, it's Friday. I can't believe it myself. The week just speeds by, and not surprising to most of you I'm sure, I've gotten nothing done. Well, unless you count the shoveling of a million tons of snow. I supervised of course. My husband won't let me do anything that might cause me to re-injury my back. He's a sweet man and I have tried really hard not to do anything...at all. I've been pretty successful at it if I do say so myself.
Besides supervising the shoveling, I've also supervised the house cleaning, the dish doing, the meal cooking and of course the exercising. That last one is probably the hardest. Watching my kids run on my treadmill for me is exhausting. You would think with all the hard work I'm putting in watching all these things I would be dropping weight like crazy, but nothing seems to be coming off. To be honest I think I've gained a few pounds, go figure.
Anyway, I know some of you are thinking, "Wow, how does she do it? She is maga impressive!", and I would have to agree with you. I live a very impressive life and that is what has led me to post this video. This guys vocal range is amazing. You can tell he puts in almost as much time singing as I do supervising.

If you have a few more minutes watch this one as well. I love this show, but after watching this I have to wonder why. At least I didn't make my husband watch it with me.

Friday Funny!
So tired...to bad I swore off the caffeine pills because I could really use them right now. On a high note we have been enjoying some lovely weather. I have been able to walk outside for four days in a row and have loved it. The fresh air does wonders for me. Hoping the good weather continues as well as the lovely walk.
Seeing as I am tired and seem to be rambling on and on here is your Friday Funny. I figured since I'm so tired this sleepover themed video is appropriate.

Friday Funny
Okay, when I saw this first video my first thought was; "dang that girl rocks". My second thought was; "I wonder if it's too late to start training my nine year old daughter to do that." I have two daughters and I would like them to learn how to handle themselves on a date.
I've had to drop a few guys in my day, but I wasn't able to do with as much finesse as that little girl. I would like my girls to be able to not only drop a guy if he starts getting fresh with them, but to do it in style. ;)
I actually have two Friday Funny's today. One is a little girl boxing and the other is because of my great love of Downton Abbey. Love it!
