rude awakening..

Dec. 13
So I thought I'd share a little story of today's events. This morning before I took Cannon to school I decided to cut his hair.. He looked at me before I took the first snip and said "you better not mess this up lady". It was quite funny...

However it was our afternoon events that led to the rude awakening. I took Cannon to the pet store to buy some fish for his new turtle "tuck". Tuck has not been eating his food and each morning before Cannon wakes up Chris and I check to make sure the turtle is still alive. (let me tell you this was not the greatest idea of gifts, however Cannon thanks us daily for this turtle that is hanging on to life by a thread and is oh so non exciting), anyhow we looked on line and found out that they enjoy eating small goldfish once a week. So we went to buy some and Cannon was oh so excited. We brought them home and added them to Tucks water. Cannon could not contain his excitement and introduced Tuck to his new friends, calling them each individual and creative names. The fish had been in there no more than 10 seconds when Tuck took a bite of one and Cannon lost it!!! I mean lost it!!! He was hysterical and started screaming.. "mom he's killing the fish!! Mom hurry !!" well I was right there and just then I remembered that I had not explained the reason why we had purchased the fish... Then I explained to Cannon that Tuck needed to eat the fish blah blah blah to stay alive. Cannon said "cool" and went on with his day. So much for the fish!

No One Left Behind....

This last week I returned from a funeral in Texas.. One of my best friends Lisa had passed away... I thought of one of my mom's favorite sayings..No one Left Behind.. I am just glad to know that no matter what I do in my life that I feel that my family would never leave me behind and that my life always has meaning.. Lisa and her family had parted ways many years ago and never got back together; even at the time of her death her family decided not to be there to remember her...I will always remeber her and the friend she was to me.. She got me through a rough few months when Chris and I couldn't be together..
