Benny Tired

Last night my son was determined to sleep with me.  He came into my room 4 times and finally at 4:45am I let him into my bed with me.  I am pretty sure he was up all night because when he climbed into the bed he was asleep before his head hit.  Now for sure…. He will go to school today, it will be a grand teaching moment!  Poor little guy.

I also had a great day yesterday, at first I had some free time so I was going to listen to a little American politics and once it was on it was soon a terrible feeling.  Why do I listen to such shit?  I want to be aware but I guess I don’t want to watch hour by hour the leaders selling us off bit by bit.  This isn’t what life is about, is it?  I turned it off and turned on a book called “The Power of Now” and I was at peace again.  I then spent the rest of my day at peace.  I went to work and had a nice day but then I started to think about money and again I started to think very negative, damn it!  I give it so much power; I tried so hard to stop but the worst part was that I didn’t choose to.  What will happen if one day I actually get this down?

Good Ol days

Saturday was marvelous.  We went with a couple of Rodrigo’s school friends to a very small town about 40 minutes outside of town.  We parked at his uncle’s house in the country changed into warm clothes and then walked down this hill to the party.  The party was a festival for a saint.  There was the village church and a stage connected with a few other small buildings, it was an old Brazilian Festival and very traditional.  It kidn of reminded me of a barn dance like you would see in the movies, but outside the church.  When we got there church was in session, so we waited for them to pay tribute to the saint and then the party started.  Music, food, kids, drinks… it reminded me of a cross of Nebraska land days in North Platte and then spending time with Mike and Tanya in Alaska at the Talkeetna bluegrass festival.   This was one of those forgetful experiences and the feeling will stay with me for ages… sorry no pics, darn it!

Firecrackers

I am sitting on the couch and someone just lit off firecrackers in front of my house, I quickly got down on the floor... damn it firecrackers!   I just cant get used to them, one time I was laying in bed and I swore I was hearing gun shots and my legs got numb and I had this strange feeling that kept me up for hours.  Now I just tell myself that I am always hearing firecrackers and maybe I am.  

I do feel safe here in my home, some things just take a little gettin used to.

Sayings I thought I'd never use daily

To my son: 
  Help me, help you.
  If your not a part of the solution, your part of the problem.

To my Daughter: 

  There is nothing can, can't do with out a little help.
