About Me:
I am a single Mom to 3 beautiful kidlets! My daughter describes me as a Mom with strange interests...I love forensic psychology, sappy love stories, true crime novels and the psychic medium John Edward!!

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience by which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." - - Eleanor Roosevelt

As much as I hate the cold weather, slush, and many things that go along with Winter, I have to say that I am thankful for it too.
The reason being that when Spring comes and the sunshines thru my window while my dog basks in it rays and they birds chirp, and colors start to appear...I am aware of this change and observe it unfold before me....it always makes me stop and smile when I hear the first bird of the season.... I think that if I lived somewhere esle (like others I know) when the change in season is minimal, it would be easy to forget the blessings of spring and summer. I am so looking forward to see how much of my garden survived this tough winter as I made significant changes last year in the lay out and landscaping.....
I think that this being the 1st day of spring is a great day to give thanks for WINTER..........and frankly I am thankful it is ALMOST GONE!
Greeting! I am totally new to this blog thing! I find it very interesting and have many friends and family that blog. I have often wondered what does one write about? But I now have a topic! I live in a suburban town north of the city. I live on the border of one town and another, which makes it a cross between "small town and not so small town" However, most EVERY weekend sometime around 10:00 pm (sometimes a little before, sometimes a little after) a large BOOM or TWO go off. Now this is not a car back firing. It sounds very MUCH like a gunshot (although I have never really heard a real gun without blanks) It is so loud that makes me jump, shaking the house, and it echoes all around. I question myself: WHAT is it? I mean if it was a gun shot, wouldn't it get checked out by police, wouldn't someone report it? How does one find out what it is and how can I make sure that my neighborhood is safe? I am shocked that after living here for more than a year now, it still happens? How is this possible, I wonder? AND why in the world, since it makes me JUMP every time it happens, I wonder, do I NEVER remember to ask neighbors if they heard the noise and if they know what it is? I guess, it continues because like me, neighbors bury their head and don't report it. So I guess I can "worry" all I want, but until I decide to do something about it, why should I expect someone else too, right? But then I think, well what would I say when calling the police? How does someone explain what they heard, when they do not know what it was you heard without sounding like a suburban "Freaked OUT" "Over protective" Mom...I guess you don't and that is why I have yet to take action myself.
