Igor the Rat

Okay I just hate rats!! They are dirty, foul, and why God created them--I just don't know. BUT you have to admit that Igor is really cute. He almost makes you want to cuddle up to him...NOT. It brings back some memories of my dad coming home and telling us about his pet rat named what else Rat. He kept it at the middle school that he worked at when living here in PA. but the funny thing was all his co-workers would stop and feed him too. It took my dad some time to figure out why Rat became a rather big rat. Here along with my dad feeding him once day...his co-workers were feeding him too and not just anything but sweets. He was white I believe too. But really why God created some animals I just have to sit back and wonder WHY?? Take for example flies--another dirty creature and it flys too-- eeuuwww. I would say squirrels but Violet would have a fit (oh sorry I forgot that you read the blog Violet...hahahahaha) but seriously folks--I have made a list of all the animals that I pray are not in Heaven when I get there.

rats

snakes

flies

spiders (especially big hairy ones!)

the naked mole rat--just plain ugly...yuk

squids

ticks

any kind of parasite

mosquitoes

Well I am sure that the list could go on...but I will let you add yours to this list. Just enjoy the cuteness of Igor the Rat. I love this picture...but truth be told I do not want to meet Igor in person. With that said--until next time.

Hi everyone!

Hi there
this is my first time blogging. I am a stay at mom of 3 wonderful kids. (I am their mom--so I do think that they are awesome, wonderful, great, etc.) I wanted to start this blog so I could connect to other moms around the world. I have personnally read so many blogs that are just truly inspiring to me. It gives me hope that I am actually doing the right thing with staying home. I am married to my best friend--Craig. He is well my partner in everything. Craig is a super Dad to our children. He works hard at being the breadwinner and also being there for me and the kids. He is a meat cutter and works for his Dad's butcher shop. We have a son Kevin, who is 11 years old. Kevin loves playing soccer--and his dream is to play pro one day. He has been playing since he is 5 years old and now plays on a travel team (which his Dad is head coach). I would say that he is an all-american boy. Our daughter Hannah, who just turned 8 is our gymnastist. She has exciled so quickly in the world of gymnastics. She also started when she was 5 years old and now has made the team and is currently level 4. Hannah loves school and pretty much is our girly-girl. Our youngest just turned 5. Her name is Sarah Jane and is a very busy preschooler. She starts kindergarten this coming fall.

Has anyone else had this problem???? Your children grow-up too fast!! It seems like just yesterday when Kevin was going to Kindergarten and now is in 6th grade! I can not believe it. Life really goes by so fast...so please take time to enjoy it....oh boy I sound like my mother. Oh my parents now live in the beautiful state of Hawaii. I wish I were there right now. PA has snow and it only is 20 degrees outside. BRRR--too cold for me.

Well I will be adding pictures and I hope that I will get guests to stop by my blog and post. I wish everyone a good night.
