Return of the Adam's Family

Looks like Tim Burton will be resurrecting the Addams Family in the style of Nightmare Before Christmas. I was sorry when Raul Julia passed away in 1994, putting an end to any more Addams movies with the great cast they had.

Anti-Valentine's Day

I was never crazy about this day...for as far back as I can remember I never did. Why should we have one day to tell someone how much we care about them? How they are such an important part of our lives? It's something that should be told throughout the year. I remember people would always make a big deal about it and it can be especially hard on teenagers I think, having their hopes up but only to be disappointed about how the day turned out.
I don't have to worry about celebrating it this year since Vic and I split so I'll just continue to lavish love and attention on my 3 kids that day. :D But I think I'll have my own little Anti-Valentines Day with a broken purple heart shaped cake...some black candles...hey...maybe a party theme with that. :D I think it would be a fun way to "spit in the face" of lovey dovey couples, big business, and even the idea that we need to be in a relationship to be happy. It is about having fun being independant, confident and single. Hmm...I don't think I'll do too much this year as I don't have alot of time between now and "the day". Something small that's just for me I think.
I'm going to think of other ideas as well. Maybe get some ideas online. :D

New Year, New Beginnings?

I know that many of us had a rough year in 2009, myself included. From big things to small things. Despite the fact that it can make one weary and tired I think I have done okay managing through them.
So when the new year came I thought that maybe there was hope for a better year. Seems it was not to be. For some reason out of the blue my fiance of many years decides that it was over, that we are too different now, lashed out at me for his woes, my beliefs/religion, etc. and in general lay all the blame on me. As usual, he makes himself the victim. Something goes wrong he lashes out at whoever is there whether or not it was his fault or not. I'm still trying to figure out why he wants to end it but there's no point. I'm tired of him "breaking it off" anytime he throws a rant so if he's going to try to get back together with me it's a no this time. I'm tired of this, I tried to work things out since he cheated on me for the sake of the kids but I don't think things will get any better if I stay with him.
The last few days or so I've been working out a plan as to what to do...this time I have three kids to think of and they always come first. I have a basic plan so I will try to stick to it and well...just see how things go.

Happy New Year!

Best wishes to all my friends in the New Year.

A tornado tore through...

When it comes to big holidays, the aftermath is like a tornado tore through your home...after your company has gone, gifts opened, etc. The place looks in shambles no matter how hard you try to keep up. And all that is on top of your regular chores! LOL! I can now actually see my livingroom floor now.;) I do little by little as I won't wear myself out like I have in the past. The older 2 kids still have a week left before going back to school...that is when I'll be able to do more and get my house back to somewhat normal household. That will be when I probably start taking all the Christmas decorations down. For now it's sifting through all the boxes, plastics ect. to see what gets recycled and what is garbage. But I've got my older daughter's birthday this weekend to worry about. Then I have a month before my youngest daughter's birthday.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and got at least one thing you wanted to get. Even though I enjoyed my Christmas, I didn't get what I wanted. It was only two things...one that was less than $200.00 and a Gothic Charm School book but instead I got about $300.00 worth of stuff that my dh likes or we could use for the house. Of all the Christmases we've had together (about 10) this year he was clueless. Ah well, perhaps next year he'll get back on track and do better. He even forgot stocking stuffers this year for me. But my kids are happy with what they got and it will take a while before they get their own rooms organized and have figured where they are going to put their stuff in their room. :)
As much as I love the different holidays, I am usually glad when it's all over. :) Now I can start thinking of next year! :D

Merry Christmas all!

Wishing you and your loved ones peace, health, happiness and prosperity now and in the coming year.

Death in the family

Sorry I haven't posted for a bit...would have been sooner but my grandmother just passed away from lung cancer but she did live a long life. She died at 89 yrs. old. From what I was told I was the only grandchild of hers that would send pics, cards, etc. to her and keep in touch. My aunt told me that my nanny spoke of me often and spoke of a special bond we shared. Thankfully she died peacefully while she slept and all of her children were able to say goodbye to her. She was the last of my grandparents to cross over. So now I won't be able to get anymore letters/cards from her. Makes you appreciate those that are still here with you as you never know how much time you have with them.
