We have gained a neighbors cat. She cracks us up and yes we told the neighbors that we have her. They don't seem to mind. She followed our daughter and me inside one day when it was cold and she hasn't left. The cat's name is Possy. She is real loveable and no matter what our kids do to her she lets them. She will go to the door to outside and scratch the door to come back in. We got her some food and a litter box so now she stays in more than she is out. She plays, eats sleeps and loves her belly rubbed. Possy is starting to become part of our family. I finally asked the neighbor how they came up with her name and they said that she looked like a oppossum when she was born. I actually think she is good for me with my fight against my depression. I guess there is something about us that she likes. Before she came inside she would sleep on our porch when it rained or snowed or she would get through the open window of randy's car or my car and sleep. Possy definately has a personality of her own. Here's a couple of pictures I managed to get of her.
Music Monday ---- Harry Chapin ---> Cat's in the Cradle
I have always loved this song and this is one of the songs I played for my dad in dedication of his relationship with my 2 half sister's and half brother.
Lyrics
My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home dad? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not todayI got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok" And he walked away but his smile never dimmed And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moonWhen you comin' home son? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then
Well, he came home from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while? He shook his head and said with a smile "What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys See you later, can I have them please?"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then
I've long since retired, my son's moved away I called him up just the other day I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind" He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad It's been sure nice talking to you" And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me He'd grown up just like me My boy was just like me
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then

I want to thank you so much for this award. It just made my day.
I seen this business sign and just had to take a picture of it. The only thing I'm trying to figure out is do you gain it first then work it off or work it off and gain it back. LOL!
Well I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy and Safe New Year. I hope 2009 is better than 2008. I plan to quit smoking and to take better care of myself and hopefully get my Avon and Tupperware businesses going strong. (click the pic on my sidebar to see my web page). I also hope to deal and learn to cope with my depression on a more positive note. I do plan on trying to get a job and get more accomplished. I'm also looking forward to strengthening my blog and my friendships in the blogisphere in the coming year. Everyone be safe and remember not to Drink & Drive.
I've been happily married 18 years to my hubby Randy. I have 2 wonderful children a boy and a girl 8 years apart. I love learning new crafts & Recipes. I am currently going back to school to be a cosmotologist.
