Just a thought...

Twelve years ago today, I walked down the aisle to become Mrs. Frank Huff, so I just have a quick thought for you...

There is a saying that goes something like "Don't try to be someone important in the world-- try to be the world for someone important."


We never know what kind of impact we might make on the people in our lives by the way we chose to live, the way we chose to treat others, or the way we react to the way we are treated.

prayers please...

Introducing my Tre-Tre...

This is my youngest son. He's about to turn 3 in a couple of days, and I can't believe how time has flown. He joined our family at 7 months old-- a pretty sick little guy.

I'm a few hours behind on posting (and I apologize to Jeanne for imposing on her day...) because I spent the day in the hospital with my dear Tre-Tre.

See, Tre-Tre doesn't sleep for more than 30-40 minutes at a time. Normal brains release a hormone called melatonin that relaxes you and calms the brain so the body can sleep, but my little guy's brain was flooded with alcohol and drugs in utero. As a result, he doesn't produce melatonin. I'm sure the other moms here can tell you what a tired two-year-old who can't get to sleep is like in the middle of the night. Yeah, this is a 24/7 for us.

A day at the hospital and all we were told is that he's still not old enough for melatonin supplements. So, my hubby and I take turns sleeping while the other one tries to keep a cranky, upset little guy who just wants to sleep but his brain won't quiet down to let him from waking up the whole house. All night long.

He's playing with his train table right now like its 1 in the afternoon-- not in the morning.

And I'm sleepy...

No tag backs!

The first rule of the game, however, is to post the rules of the game. Here they are:

Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

Eight random things about me:

*I have a box of five-years' worth of Wham!/George Michael memorabilia that I doubt I could ever part with in my attic.

*I love peanut butter and sweet pickle sandwiches.

*I've read Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising sequence-- all five books-- at least ten times in my life.

*Snapdragons are my favorite flowers, and I like to write plays for them as puppets to entertain my kids.

*I still want to believe that fairies dance in the moonlight under my oak trees.

*I worked for four years as stage manager in charge of costumes and make-up at a Halloween attraction named number one in the state.

*I love the show Jericho.

*I own fourteen pairs of Converse Chucks-- two pairs are almost twenty years old now (yeah, that's probably rather gross, isn't it?)

Come on, the rest of you gals, where's yours????
