Always Have A Dream

Always have a dream
Forget about the days when its been cloudy,
but don't forget your hours in the sun.
Forget about the times you've been defeated,
but don't forget the victories you've won.
Forget about mistakes that you can't change now,
but don't forget the lessons that you've learnt.
Forget about misfortunes you encounter,
but don't forget the times you luck has turned.
Forget about the days when you've been lonely,
but don't forget the friendly smiles you've seen.
Forget about the plans that didn't seem to work out right,
but don't forget to always have a dream.

Procrastination

I know I've been ignoring my blog for the past week. I've been trying to clean the house, I mean really clean, dust, mop, disinfect, etc. BUT, I get to looking at it then get discouraged or start procrastinating. I have cleaned at least one room everyday, the laundry, and my 55gal fish tank. So I guess I haven't done that bad. I keep telling myself I'm going to set up schedule so I can keep the house clean (just like I've done for the last 5yrs) I should have luck this time right?? NOT!! It doesn't mean I wont try. Does anyone else have this problem? I hope I'm not the only one!!
Anyway, I figured I'd post a picture of my fish tank, since I've never posted about my fish before.

The big rocks there are from Lake Superior. I picked them up along the beach a couple years ago.

I know most people think this fish is ugly, but I've got to tell you about it. Here about 3 years ago, back when I had 2 or 3 of these. I was cleaning my fish tank and when I do I have to actually take apart the filter and clean it also. Well when I did I saw this weird thing in there it looked almost like a fish? Then all of a sudden it moved! Come to find out the other fish mated and the only little egg that survived got caught in the filter, and still grew once it was in there. It was very small, and if I would have put it in the tank it wouldn't have survived. So I fixed up a small bowl with a plant, put it on top of the tank light to keep it warm, kept it fed and here he is today. I know probably not that interesting, but I thought it was cool!

Well hope everyone has a good day. Take Care!

Way Back When-sday

Way way back! A picture of my Mom and I being introduced to the neighbors dog. I loved animals, and still do. Hopefully we'll get a dog sometime within the up coming (years). Cody would like to have a puppy. But I don't think it will be this year...

Anyway, when I was little I used to go over to the neighbors to play with this dog. He was pretty cool!

Have fun with your pictures! Stop by and visit Cheryl to play along!

Two For Tuesday's

I couldn't resist. I came across these other pic's when I was weeding out empty folders and other things that I'm not using. I can't believe the change in only the past couple years. It's amazing how fast children grow! I'm so lucky to be part of such a wonderful family. I really feel blessed! I can't believe my 'baby' will be 9 in July!! Time sure does fly. Like I said in a post a couple days ago, I can't wait until the whole family can get together again so we can get another pic of all of us. I can't believe how much our family has grown!
