FED UP!!!

I let my children watch Nickelodeon it has good cartoons on it, like Spongebob SquarePants, Jimmy Neutron, Danny Phantom etc.etc. And then the commercials start. They have this kids worship CD crap(you know feel good music -- oops I said the F word. Sorry Dad.) A bunch of kids no less singing crap. And guess what? I can't do anything about it. Well, except turn the mute button on, shut the T.V off or put my fingers in my ears and sing "lalalalala I can't hear you" at the top of my lungs. Its bad enough the adults listen to this crap, now their children are getting in on the action. I've had enough of this crap, how about you? I guess I've grown in my understanding because before I met Theological Thug I would have listened to this crap.

A Special Poem

Today I would like to share a very special poem with you. This poem was recited to me before I went to bed and when I asked my mom to recite it. It also was recited at family get togethers when it was dark, we would turn out the lights and lit a candle and my grandmother would recite it. It is very special because my grandmother was an orphan and she liked this poem because it reminded her of herself. So I'm sharing this poem with you today in remembrance of my Grandmother Helen Daum.


The guy who wrote this was either Irish or Scottish not sure. And I was told this is how they wrote their words. So if your wondering or having a hard time reading sorry.

Enjoy.


1 Little Orphant Annie's come to our house to stay,
2 An' wash the cups an' saucers up, an' brush the crumbs away,
3 An' shoo the chickens off the porch, an' dust the hearth, an' sweep,
4 An' make the fire, an' bake the bread, an' earn her board-an'-keep;
5 An' all us other childern, when the supper-things is done,
6 We set around the kitchen fire an' has the mostest fun
7 A-list'nin' to the witch-tales 'at Annie tells about,
8 An' the Gobble-uns 'at gits you
9 Ef you
10 Don't
11 Watch
12 Out!


13 Wunst they wuz a little boy wouldn't say his prayers, --
14 An' when he went to bed at night, away up-stairs,
15 His Mammy heerd him holler, an' his Daddy heerd him bawl,
16 An' when they turn't the kivvers down, he wuzn't there at all!
17 An' they seeked him in the rafter-room, an' cubby-hole, an' press,
18 An' seeked him up the chimbly-flue, an' ever'-wheres, I guess;
19 But all they ever found wuz thist his pants an' roundabout: --
20 An' the Gobble-uns 'll git you
21 Ef you
22 Don't
23 Watch
24 Out!


25 An' one time a little girl 'ud allus laugh an' grin,
26 An' make fun of ever' one, an' all her blood-an'-kin;
27 An' wunst, when they was "company," an' ole folks wuz there,
28 She mocked 'em an' shocked 'em, an' said she didn't care!
29 An' thist as she kicked her heels, an' turn't to run an' hide,
30 They wuz two great big Black Things a-standin' by her side,
31 An' they snatched her through the ceilin' 'fore she knowed what she's about!
32 An' the Gobble-uns 'll git you
33 Ef you
34 Don't
35 Watch
36 Out!

37 An' little Orphant Annie says, when the blaze is blue,
38 An' the lamp-wick sputters, an' the wind goes woo-oo!
39 An' you hear the crickets quit, an' the moon is gray,
40 An' the lightnin'-bugs in dew is all squenched away, --
41 You better mind yer parunts, an' yer teachurs fond an' dear,
42 An' churish them 'at loves you, an' dry the orphant's tear,
43 An' he'p the pore an' needy ones 'at clusters all about,
44 Er the Gobble-uns 'll git you
45 Ef you
46 Don't
47 Watch
48 Out!

Rain,Rain Go away!

Today it is pretty yucky outside, but that doesn't stop the boys. I went outside on the front porch to watch the rain and just like always Theodore and Dean had to come along. They didn't stay on the porch they decided to venture out into the rain, they had alot of fun splashing in the puddles. And that took me back to the time when my cousin Jenny and I would run in the rain and splash around. It is great fun.

My Wonderful Husband :-)

Ok ok......I guess you guys got me into this blog thing. I think it fall under that catagory of everybody's doin' it.

So here it is:
Reminder: This is my first blog so go gentle with the comments.

As you all know we moved into a great neighborhood. The house is beautiful beyond my wildest dreams. Ok ok I'll stop rambling on and tell you the story of My Wonderful Husband. Ok were was I, oh yeah wildest dreams...... but one little problem, in the upstairs bathroom there was one switch for the light and the fan. What to do what to do. You all know that my husband is an electirian by trade, he took on look at that and said "I can fix that". So last night with his two supervisors(Marina and Theodore) watching every move, he put a switch, on for the fan and one for the light. Now he can sleep better at night. LOL Just kidding honey. You know I love you!!!
