Father's Day ~ Take Two

This is what I wanted to post yesterday, but amid all of the feelings of frustration toward my lovely husband, I just couldn't get these words out. So.. here goes~

My husband is the best Dad a kiddo could ask for; he's also the best husband a woman could ask for (99.9% of the time :o) we all have our faults). In the beginning, he was so afraid to hold our precious girl because he thought he would drop her or break her. Fortunately, he got over that one pretty quickly. Now, she's a Daddy's girl, and it's the cutest thing ever. He's so big and so strong, and she's so little... but he handles her with such love. It's really amazing to watch. My heart melts every time they are together, and I think it always will. Miss Biz couldn't have been blessed with a better Daddy, and I'm glad I got to experience the joy of being a Mommy with her Daddio! I love you, babe! You're the best <3

In My Arms

Every time I hear this song I cry.... I first cried because I heard it on Nathan Lawrenson's blog, and it went with a video about his micro-preemie; it was simply beautiful. Then, I listened to the words... and it reminds me of my girl so much and how scary the big, bad world is going to be in just a matter of a few years. It's seriously such a big job raising a kiddo, especially in this day and age. She'll always be safe in my arms, and I hope she always knows that!


your baby blues
so full of wonder
your curley cues
your contagious smile
and as i watch
you start to grow up
all I can do is hold you tight


knowing clouds will rage
and storms will race in
but you will be safe
in my arms
rains will pour down
waves will crash around
but you will be safe
in my arms

story books are full of fairy tales
of kings and queens and the bluest skies
but my heart is torn
just in knowing
you'll someday see
the truth from lies

when the
clouds will rage and
storms will race in
but you will be safe
in my arms
rains will pour down
waves will crash around
but you will be safe
in my arms

Castles they might crumble
dreams may not come true
but you are never all alone
because I will always
always love you
when the
clouds will rage and
storms will race in
but you will be safe
in my arms
rains will pour down
waves will crash around
but you will be safe
in my arms
in my arms

Little Piece of Me

Here is my actual necklace that I got from Lisa Leonard. I absolutely LOVE it. There are so many more necklaces on her site that I want. I can't wait to get more!! :o) She's seriously amazing.

Driving Thoughts

I have a pretty massive drive to get to the child's house whom I work with for my part time job. While on this drive, I discovered a couple of things. I want to buy a motorcycle. The only reason I wish to purchase one of these vehicles is because everytime another motorcyclist passes, they wave hello to each other. I like being friendly, and would love to wave hello to everyone that passes. We just have to find a bike that would fit my husband, myself, our daughter, our dog, all of our daughter's belongings, and suitcases. That'd be a chore and a half if we were really going to buy one!

The second thing I figured out is that I HATE (and I do meant hate) unmarked roads. They were paving one of the roads I was traveling on which meant there were no lines, and man did that freak me out. The people behind me probably thought I was driving under the influence of some pretty hard stuff because of how swervy I was; and thank goodness a police officer didn't go by. But, sheesh, I was a wreck... I never thought something like that would bother me so much.

While driving, if you see a family riding on a pimped out double or triple side car bike, you know who it is. Honk, and I'll give ya a nice, big, friendly wave!! :)

Legal Sized Waistline??

So, I really wonder what Americans would do if our government took our obsesity crisis as seriously as Japan is for it's citizens? Seriously... check this story out. They have a LEGAL size waist in this country... if you're not legal, you're given dieting advice! If you don't lose the amount of weight needed to get yourself down to the legal limit, your company can have financial penalties put on them. Now, it's only for people ages 40-75, but still. Imagine if the U.S. did that for people ages 25-75... what a wonder it would work for our society and it's health!
