Thoughtful Thursday

I decided to post a limmerick I wrote eons ago.  It's a limmerick that I include in just about every paper journal I begin.  Front and center.  It's the only limmerick I've written


                                                                                          Oh what lies 
                                                                                     The lips do speak
                                                                                      That lead a man 
                                                                                                to sin

                                                                                       Yet all the while
                                                                                   The heart does ache
                                                                                      To take the back
                                                                                                again.

I used to write a lot of poems and short stories when I was young, when emotions were raw, or when  I was in search of love or swimming in the pain of lost love.  

When I got married I didn't have much time to write.  I was trying to find my way as a new wife, no longer responsible for just me.  Throw in children years later and the passion is slowly returning.  I now see life through a new set of eyes.  It's fun and scary at the same time.

I'll have to retrieve my story, "I once knew a bee who had allergies..."  I thought of this way before that ho hum commercial for allergy meds came out.  You know the one with that bee that sounds like Antonio Banderas?  I don't like the cga (computer generated animation). Blech!

Chelle - I just received some Aveeno Positively Ageless Lift and Firm night cream from Bzz Agent (that's another post).  This stuff is good!  

Tonight we sign Tucker up for soccer.  I'm nervous but excited for Tucker.  I'll sacrifice my Saturday's so my child can burn off some energy.  Better the soccer field than my house.

 

 


 


A bit of something

So, I'm going to shamelssly plug a product.  In my search for gentle skin products I decided to rely on a trustworthy name, Aveeno.  It's gentle enough for my babies skin, certainly their adult products are equally gentle.

I settled on the
Clear Complextion foaming facial cleanser.  I must say that I L-O-V-E the velvetty smoothness as it goes on.  I think I heard my face say "thank you."  Is it weird that I look forward to that routine in the morning and then once again before bed time?  I really do.  

Because of this experience I stepped out of my comfort zone and recently purchased their eye firming cream.  The jury is still out.  It feels a bit greasy but absorbs nicely.  I'm going to keep a close eye on those crows feet to see if the lines are minimized.  

If all I used was the foaming cleanser I would be happy, my skin would be happy.

Carsen did something funny yesterday.  After we checked the mail I decided to sit on the front lawn and read some of it since it was beautiful outside.  Tucker flipped through the Little Tykes adverisement as Carsen settled down with his back against Tucker's back.  Now, no one had to teach Carsen but I watched as he grabbed a dried leaf, turn towards his brother and proceed to poke Tucker's cheek with it.  Tucker flinched, Carsen smiled, I laughed.  Carsen decided to pull grass and drop that on Tucker's neck and down his shirt.  Tucker fussed, Carsen smiled BIGGER and I laughed louder.  Too funny!

Already, at 1 yr of age, Carsen is making life miserable for Tucker.  What am I in for?

I love my boys!
