Eye candy fate and shotguns

Benjamin Button: Sometimes we're on a collision course, and we just don't know it. Whether it's by accident or by design, there's not a thing we can do about it. A woman in Paris was on her way to go shopping, but she had forgotten her coat - went back to get it. When she had gotten her coat, the phone had rung, so she'd stopped to answer it; talked for a couple of minutes. While the woman was on the phone, Daisy was rehearsing for a performance at the Paris Opera House. And while she was rehearsing, the woman, off the phone now, had gone outside to get a taxi. Now a taxi driver had dropped off a fare earlier and had stopped to get a cup of coffee. And all the while, Daisy was rehearsing. And this cab driver, who dropped off the earlier fare; who'd stopped to get the cup of coffee, had picked up the lady who was going to shopping, and had missed getting an earlier cab. The taxi had to stop for a man crossing the street, who had left for work five minutes later than he normally did, because he forgot to set off his alarm. While that man, late for work, was crossing the street, Daisy had finished rehearsing, and was taking a shower. And while Daisy was showering, the taxi was waiting outside a boutique for the woman to pick up a package, which hadn't been wrapped yet, because the girl who was supposed to wrap it had broken up with her boyfriend the night before, and forgot. 
 When the package was wrapped, the woman, who was back in the cab, was blocked by a delivery truck, all the while Daisy was getting dressed. The delivery truck pulled away and the taxi was able to move, while Daisy, the last to be dressed, waited for one of her friends, who had broken a shoelace. While the taxi was stopped, waiting for a traffic light, Daisy and her friend came out the back of the theater. And if only one thing had happened differently: if that shoelace hadn't broken; or that delivery truck had moved moments earlier; or that package had been wrapped and ready, because the girl hadn't broken up with her boyfriend; or that man had set his alarm and got up five minutes earlier; or that taxi driver hadn't stopped for a cup of coffee; or that woman had remembered her coat, and got into an earlier cab, Daisy and her friend would've crossed the street, and the taxi would've driven by. But life being what it is - a series of intersecting lives and incidents, out of anyone's control - that taxi did not go by, and that driver was momentarily distracted, and that taxi hit Daisy, and her leg was crushed. 


As if i don't have enough things to do i went and started another blog. But this one is just for fun and doesn't require much work lol more of a creative outlet than anything else. If there is one thing i love and appreciate its eye candy :)
I loooove to look at creative original or innovative items for adults and kids and sometimes you find something so awesome well you just have to share :)!
Had a weird message today on face book from someone i know telling me all my deall postings are annoying. That they overtake everybody newsfeeds etc. I had to explain to this person that they don't have to keep me on their feed they can remove me to help unclutter their feed and just manually go to my page and check it when they want to. It was like "oh" really??? I was like yes really. This person had not a clue. It really does help to sit and figure out your face book controls for your page because lets face it, sometimes you post things and you don't want kids or certain individuals or parents to see what you are posting, and also in cases like this you may not want some crazy cheap bastard cluttering up your daily news feed with tales of the tightwaddery lol.
Anyhow in bigger and better news i heard from my love tonight! Oh how i miss him and cannot WAIT for him to be back home with us. He may be missing the trick or treating we don't exactly know yet but what can you do right?  He mentioned he is on one of the last flights and that maybe he could switch with someone on an earlier one and i said well you could or maybe God put you on the flight your on for a reason, do you really want to tamper with that. His response? "Roger that mama " ....I think God you know he gets tired of us trying to superimpose our will over his. I am so guilty of that, and lately i stop and say to myself you know maybe it falls down this way for a reason. I mean can you imagine that if the slightest thing were to change how we could ultimately be altering our fate. I would much rather surrender and let the man upstairs guide my path to whatever end that may be, cause at least then ill know it was supposed to happen that way.
Alot of deep internal churning's going on over here, i almost had a panic attack of the most severe kind , my umm "aunt" was a little to late for my liking this month! And that CANNOT happen for it would be dire straights as i have been told no more babies! And BELIEVE you me i am all about following that to a T ! I love children i really do but i CANNOT do another lil one. My life is off the chain most days as it is. Highlander and I talked about adoption someday or foster parenting but i think thats just a bridge we will have to cross when and if we ever get there, as for now we are good with our own little fire team.
I have been eying a new shotgun btw and i think that is going on my Xmas list, i want something lighter than the one i have now.
This is just from my own personal standpoint, but being a female who ends up being the sole protector of my house while my husband is away on year long deployments for the army, i choose a shotgun for home defense (my dog is apparently retired now lol) . In a dark, hurried situation in which i may have to actually use a weapon , shotguns are easy to load and your aim does not have to even be that good to do some serious damage. Also universally almost everyone will fear a shotgun pointed at them, they are imo less of a chance of getting froggy on you than a smaller handgun. Also i have 4 kids and with my husband being in the military we have taught the oldest 2 how to use our weapons and expressed safety and knowledge to them in order for us to feel comfortable owning them. Now i do have very mature and mostly  obedient kids, one must use judgement when it comes to kids and any kind of weapon but i do think that having them be trained and aware allows me to feel better about having them in my home. so that is just my take on it and why i like the shotgun.. Knowledge is power and when you wield fear instead of knowledge about something you get piss poor results.
Its kind of like the birds and the bees, my kids know more than they ever wanted too and anybody else will ever tell them. If you as the parent cant lay it to them straight ...believe me nobody else will. From an early age we always referred to body parts by their anatomically correct terms and when asked where babies come from, anywhere over the age of 5 its game on . I don't allow things to be taboo or mysterious because i want them to understand this is real and this is not a joke. A calm straightforward answer that lacks emotional attachment and sounds more matter of fact seems to work VERY well. Had the neatest conversation with Herb about 1950's 1960's architecture..... spawned all from watching the Brady Bunch movie...lol and yesterday as he came home from school we talked about what he learned that day at school about atoms and how we have never "really" touched anything ...
When two physical surfaces make contact, we say they are 'touching' each other. This contact may make it appear that two different surfaces are actually touching, but in fact, no atoms of any one object can ever touch the atoms of another!
see here for a continuation of explanation

so he said the next time the girls say "he touched me" i can say no i didn't "really " touch you! LMAO!
He is a teenager but he is a joy. His mind fascinates me. He is sooooo gifted and smart and sooooo fricken lazy! Someday he will get that he is truly blessed and he needs to take all that he has been given and use it to his full potential! Without having to be kicked in the arse to do it! lol.
Ok the hour is late and my eyelids droopy check out the new blog and enjoy its not like this one at all is basically....eye candy :)http://rockcandymama.blogspot.com/
