Slow Dance

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

Do you run through each day

On the fly?

When you ask How are you?

Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done

Do you lie in your bed

With the next hundred chores

Running through your head?

You'd better slow down

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

Ever told your child,

We'll do it tomorrow?

And in your haste,

Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,

Let a good friendship die

Cause you never had time

To call and say,"Hi"

You'd better slow down.

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere

You miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,

It is like an unopened gift....

Thrown away.

Life is not a race.

Do take it slower

Hear the music

Before the song is over.

I found this poem that was written by a young woman with cancer. I loved it and had to put it on here. Don't forget the special people in your life. Take time to hold hands, play games and love. Have a great day bloggers.

Ironic, isn't it...

So, the major league Astros lost to the Mariners. Go figure that the little league Astros beat them.... I'm wondering if maybe, just maybe, we need to send the little league Astros to the majors? heeheehee... odd thought, but it's kind of ironic if you think about it. :) I told you that baseball season was this girls favorite season of the year. I bet that you guys will get tired of hearing about them before too long...or are you already tired of them? If so too bad. :) Have a wonderful weekend blogger friends. Don't be shy, leave a message if you want. I am always trying to find new blogs to look at and people to meet.

My other Astros won!!

Mr. J plays for the Little league Astros and tonight they won their first game!!! It was very exciting. They play pitching machine so it's supposed to be a constant pitch. NOT!!! Especially when you have 6-8 yr old trying to hit the ball. None of them are the same heigth, but they are too cute. I will have to load some pictures, not that I have figured out how. :) The final score was Astros 7 - Marlins 5. Way to go boys.

Yikes!!

I know, I know...the Astros are not playing as well as I was hoping they would. :( It's bad when you turn on the local radio stations and they are refering to the Astros as the "Lastros." They are 3-7 what's up with that? GGGRRRR...Okay boys. We have the Rockets in the playoffs, the Houston Arrows (hocky team) in the playoffs, we need to get moving. I am well aware that they can come back and kick some major butt, but I'm not really ready for the roller coaster ride this year. Let's just get moving so that this Astros fan can keep cheering and not have to defend herself against anyone else. I will continue to support them, but yikes... On a different sport. We took Mr. J to a Rockets basket ball game last night. He is so fun to go places with. I miss my little baby boy, but he is growing up to be such a young man. I am very proud of him. I hope everyone out there in blogging land is having a good day. I will be back soon. :)

Take me out to the ball game...

It's baseball season...YEAH!!! My favorite season of the year. Now most people don't think of baseball as a favorite season, but this girl here...waits for it every year. I know, I'm nuts, but the Astros are the team. They have their ups and their downs, but I will stand behind them 110% just because I can.

Oswalt had a pretty rough start against the Padres, but I have a feeling he will do much better today. The batters seem to be coming into their own so just give them a little bit more time and I think I can see the them heading towards the ultimate goal...the play offs. They just have to keep everyone healthy and strong, but I have faith that they can.

Now one of my biggest dreams is to watch the Astros play at Wrigley Field. A few years ago they were playing there on my birthday...we tried to get there, but it would have cost way too much so...we are saving up so that one day we can go. I would love for Mr. J to be able to go also and see the stadium before they decide that it's not worth keeping and tear it down. :( that would be sad.

So until baseball season is over you might be able to here this wild and crazy Astros fan cheering from her house or her car. For all the other people out there, who don't know who a good baseball team is, you might want to consider the Astros, if you don't already have a favorite. They might just suprise you. ;)

Have a wonderful weekend.

Gone, but not for good

Sorry about the huge delay in posting again. I have to write papers for class and sometimes this feels more like homework then fun. :) Classes are going great. I only have 14 more to go and then I will be done!!!! YEAH!!!
Mr. J finished basketball and now is into baseball. It's alot of fun, but the games are early evenings so I am going to miss most of them. :(
We have finally moved in and gotten settled into the new place. It's nice, but we have found the one downside. We are in the flight plan of the airport.
Okay, that is all I have today. I will try not to wait as long. :)

Not sure what happened....

Well, I am not sure what happened. I posted a blog the weekend of Presidents Day, but it's not showing...who knows.
The post was gas went from $2.52 per gallon on Tuesday to $2.89 on Monday. Then it went back down to $2.67. Gas is driving me crazy...If I could figure out a way to save alot of gas I would. I would fill up any and all of the things that I could, legally, with gas and hold them in the garage. I do feel privaleged that I am not paying over $3 yet, but it's getting closer and closer. We are holding steady at $2.98...HA, like that's really cheap.

The sell of the house is done and we are now living in our apartment. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Lots more free time because there is no yard work. It's raining tonight so I have moved all of my plants to the courtyard so that they could get a good soaking rain. I am heading out so I am going to end this blog. I will be better at posting. :) I know that you miss me.
