Not much to talk about today. Still working on getting Devlin on a more normal schedule. He fell asleep at 4:15 PM yesterday and I thought I was getting so close especially if he would sleep until close to 4 am but he was wide awake just before 2 am. However, tonight he fell asleep just after 6 PM so we’ll see.. if he sleeps 12 hours we’ll be golden for getting back to a normal school schedule. School starts less than 2 weeks from now on June 11. This weekend Cat will be getting her hair cut and dyed for the new school year. Hopefully there won’t be any major drama with her starting at a new school this year. Devlin has meet the teacher night on the 9th. I hate that they always wait until that night to give us a list of supplies for him and the classroom. Nothing like having to wait until the last minute to buy your school supplies because the school waits til the last minute to tell you. We’ll also be getting some new school clothes for Cat & Dev this weekend. Maybe get Cat a brand new backpack. I’m going to order her some cool shoes for school from Jasmine Becket-Griffith. I want her to feel comfortable going back to school and starting out as the true-Cat that she wants to be and not who other kids want her to be.
I’m making progress moving through my fonts. I’ve gotten them all done except the “S” fonts. I have about 2600 of those fonts to go through and then I’m done going through 26k+ fonts. Then I will begin working on Edwin’s graphics for his site. Well that’s all for tonight. I’m exhausted and I think I’m going to go lay down early tonight and worry about finishing the fonts tomorrow. Night!

I haven’t really had anything to say lately. Devlin’s sleep schedule got flipped around one day when I gave him his meds too late in the day. It’s my own fault but I’m having a heck of a time getting it switched back around. It’s going to slow but it’s going. He wakes up between 1 and 2 am and stays awake til around 2:30 PM. Each day I keep getting that sleep time to be later and later in the day. Eventually it has to get more normal. It just sucks because I’d finally gotten myself on a “normal” schedule. So I’ve been just spending my time harvesting on Farmville (again, I stopped for a while), going through my font collect and reading. The other day I worked in a few updates to Cat’s & my pixel membership pages. So we’re all up to date with our logos so nobody will get upset with us for not having their logo on our pages. When I finish going through my fonts I’ll hopefully start making siggies and WP themes to sell at DKP. I’m up to the “P” fonts. I stopped last night when I realized there were 1800 of them but thank goodness for the font viewer I downloaded last week. It makes the process go much quicker. Right now I’m watching the new show on Starz called “The Pillars of the Earth” and I’m really enjoying it. Debating whether to go through more fonts or read.

So I found a really easy to use plugin that will crosspost my WordPress blog posts to Livejournal. I will also add the plugin to the family site so that all our adventures will be shared on Livejournal also. This will really cut down on me having to cut & paste & update multiple sites. Plus… Both my WP blog and the family site can be updated from my phone which is where this post is being made from.

I’ve been having fun playing with pixels so I threw together this theme. I thought I’d lighten things up a bit. 
It was a fun night playing with pixels and watching the old TV show from the 80′s, “Moonlighting”. I rented them from Netflix and the boys love the mysteries.

I haven’t updated or worked on this blog in so long! But I’m working on it now. I spent tonight fixing my “Now Reading” plugin and started updating it with the stuff I have recently read and have waiting in the wings to be read. Then I’ll work on cleaning up all my sidebar stuff. I want to start blogging again. Not that I feel I really have anything worth saying but who knows, right?

My younger sister is 10 years younger than me and we were raised in separate households. We didn’t really get to know each other until we were adults and I was pregnant with my youngest and she was pregnant with Joshua. But then my sister was in a car accident and the baby died. My heart broke for her then but rejoiced with her when months later she got pregnant with my nephew Issak. Issak is 7 months younger than Devlin. He will be 6 in April. My sister has been trying to have a baby with her new husband for the last 3 years. In the last 3 years she has had 4 miscarriages. Yesterday she lost baby Rose #4. I beg you to please keep my sister in your thoughts and prayers. Light a candle for her healing. It breaks my heart to see her heartbreak and disappointment. I love her so much and wish I could take away her pain or at the very least be with her right now. She’s such a good mom and she has so much love to give.

Wow! I haven’t blogged since election day! We went to Snowball Express for a 3rd year in a row but I’ll make a post about that at a later time. There’s much to tell about that trip. We’ve gone through Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Cat’s birthday and the Steelers winning another Super Bowl since I last blogged. LOL I promise I’ll try to be better at it. I think I’m going to look for one of those sites that gives you a topic to write about every day. Maybe that will help. I just feel so dull.
The song “Gotta Be Somebody” by Nickelback has really had me thinking lately.
This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of
But dreams just aren’t enough
So I’ll be waiting for the real thing, I’ll know it by the feeling
The moment when we’re meeting, will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I’ll be holding my own breath, right up ’til the end
Until that moment when, I find the one that I’ll spend forever with‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
‘Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There’s gotta be somebody for me like that
‘Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone
There’s somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There’s gotta be somebody for me out thereTonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And dammit this feels too right, it’s just like déjà vu
Me standing here with you
So I’ll be holding my own breath, could this be the end
Is it that moment when, I find the one that I’ll spend forever with‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
‘Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There’s gotta be somebody for me like that
‘Cause nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone
There’s somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There’s gotta be somebody for me out thereYou can’t give up, looking for a diamond in the rough
You never know, when it shows up, make sure you’re holding on
‘Cause it could be the one, the one you’re waiting on
‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There’s gotta be somebody for me, ohhhNobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone
There’s somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There’s gotta be somebody for me out there
Nobody wants to be the last one there
‘Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
There’s somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There’s gotta be somebody for me out there
I think I’ve reached a turning point in my grief. One where I can no longer rule out ever dating again. While I will always love Paul and he will always be in my heart, I realize that my heart is big enough to love another. But my standards are definitely higher this time around. There are things I will not put up with and that I expect. These are things that I am firm on. I want to know that I’m enough for somebody. I want somebody to love me for me and to support me in areas I want to change about myself. People do change over time as they hopefully grow within themselves and each other. I want somebody to laugh with and enjoy life with. I want somebody that understands that I didn’t stop loving my husband and accepts that he’ll always be part of me. I want somebody who accepts my childre, the good, the bad and the sometimes ugly. Somebody who wants to be an active part of their lives and not just a spectator. I want somebody to cuddle with one the couch and spend a quiet night in watching movies or just reading in bed together. I want somebody who likes to get out and see new things. I won’t settle this time around for somebody who just has one or two of the qualities I’m looking for. I’m not asking for all of them either. I want to be loved, respected and appreciated.
Having said all that, I’m not actively looking for somebody either. If there comes a time and a place I will hopefully not pass it up. But I am the epitome of bad timing and I refuse to get involved with somebody until I have made certain changes in myself. If I can’t love certain things about myself how can I expect somebody else to? And most guys do not want a work in progress. They want the finished product.

I cannot express how saddened I am that these two props are passing. 
I really hope that within my lifetime I can see this type of attitude put aside. That people can see the love of all as a beautiful thing and not something that will hurt them. I just don’t understand how 2 people of the same sex loving each other and wanting the same rights as straight people can harm a straight marriage. If an external force or influence can harm your straight marriage then the problem lies between the 2 straight people and are much deeper than the love of their gay neighbors. And that whole argument of gay marriage harming the sanctity of marriage doesn’t fly with me either. Divorce harms that more than the love of 2 same sex people. Did anybody see the photos of Ellen’s wedding to her partner? They are so beautiful and so full of love that when I saw them I cried. I wish I had a love as strong and stable as the love that Ellen has with Portia. I don’t understand this digging in of the feet to fight change. If we didn’t have change we wouldn’t have our first African American president.
Some day one of my children may come to me and tell me they are gay. It breaks my heart to think that they will be discriminated against and hated because they choose to love somebody of the same sex. I hope that those that hold onto this belief don’t ever have a child of theirs come to them and tell them they are gay and in love.
Off to be happy about Obama but heart broken for the gay community.
