Footloose

 

Remember the movie Footloose?

Am I that old? I refuse to believe that! Yesterday afternoon I decided to plant myself on the couch for a few minutes at rest time. I rarely sit down to watch TV in the afternoon. I was flipping around the channels and found the movie Footloose with Kevin Bacon. ( side note: he really was cute! ) Anyway it was at the beginning and I started watching. Jordan had just come home and I was all excited.

I said Jordan have you seen this?

He looked at me like I was possibly an alien...Alien. He hit the "info" button on the remote and it gives a brief description of the movie and the year it was made. Any guesses on that year? I'll get to that later. So he sat down and watched it for a few minutes and before I know it he's working on our puzzle and getting rather bored. I'm in awe! I mean Ariel had just put a tape in the boombox and everyone was dancing. Her Dad ( the preacher ) was about to bust them all and Jordan could have cared less! Then he volunteered to bring the dog for a walk! Surprised smile That really meant he wasn't interested. I being the good mom was disappointed that my almost teenage son wasn't jumping at the chance to bond with his mother!Be right back

" Jordan don't you want to see this? " ( I shouldn't have asked that by the way! )

" Mom it's a little, well you know.... old fashioned for me "

Surprised smile

Jordan continues "Mom I might as well watch an Elvis movie, I mean look at the way they are dancing, it looks like they're having seizures"

My mouth still hanging open and tying to hide my hurt.  "it's not that old"

"mom it's almost as old as my teacher, it was made in 1984, my teacher is only 23"

Heaven

Image
The clouds tonight were fantastic. When I look at clouds I can’t help but imagine how soft and fluffy they are. I can almost picture myself bouncing off of them fearlessly. I said to Rick tonight that I imagine in heaven I will get to do that- I will have no fear like I do here on earth of hurting myself or my bladder giving out- (just keeping it real!) For me growing up not knowing Jesus- barely even knowing of Him, Heaven was really an unknown. I have a really vivid memory of when I was younger. I remember the house we lived in so I suppose I was around 9 and I knew my Grandma lived in heaven. She passed away when I was just 6 of cancer. Because I didn’t really understand death I didn’t get why she just couldn’t come back. Someone must of told me heaven was in the sky because when I yelled and I mean I. Yelled . up to heaven I begged Grandma to come back. I was home alone in my living room and  I distinctly remember telling her that if she really loved me she’d come back.

Uno!

I am so thankful for my two little guys... (which they are not so little anymore) They are both so fun, so smart and so DIFFERENT... right down to the way they look. I found this video of them and they had just turned 4 and 5. Eric was starting Kindergarten and Sam preschool. They were playing UNO with Rick and I don't think I had ever seen this video before. It is an absolute PERFECT picture of the two of them. Take note that Sam never stops moving and Eric is just as mellow as can be. That is still true of them. Also notice the YELLOW KNEE HIGHS they are both wearing (not sure if you can see Eric's)- yep those yellow Mickey Mouse knee highs were the favorite ALL summer that year- Sam more so then Eric, I have TONS of pictures of Sam with shorts on and those silly knee highs! I sure love them. (the boys well and the knee highs too)

Glasses

Just some background... When Sam was about 6 months old we had him seen by a Pediatric Ophthalmologist for a blocked tear duck on his right side. While examining him the Doctor found his vision was more far-sighted in his right eye than his left. Now all babies are far-sighted to some degree, this is often even on both sides and will resolve itself in the first year to year and a half of life. At one year Sam had surgery to probe his tear duct and again his eye exam showed improvement in his left eye but not his right. At 18 months he got his first pair of glasses. We were also supposed to patch his good eye to force his weaker eye to work harder. Well after many, many attempts this has not happened. So here we are now. As of his last appointment ( Thursday the 2ND ) his sight in his right eye has worsened even more. His new glasses came in on Wednesday and so the battle begins ( again )! First battle, trying to convince Sam he should wear his glasses. I let him pick out new frames,
