Blogging

You know I've really grown to love this blogging thing. I've always kept some sort of journal but with blogging I only have time to keep up Nathan and Peyton's journals and I'll just have to print this stuff I write for them to read when they're older.

I don't really do it for the people who read it. Occasionally I'll blog about something if asked but I forget about people who read it since most of you don't leave comments. LOL I was talking to my brother and he was like "yeah I was reading on your blog the other day..." that just struck me as hilarious. And you guys always email instead of leaving comments. Which I don't mind that either. I have to remember to check my email though. Since most of you are on face book now I hardly check my email anymore. I used to check it all the time but now maybe once a day if I remember (sometimes only once a week...). So forgive me for the late responses. Blogging has become therapeutic for me in a sense. I love it. I have a mind that stays full and that's where journaling always came in handy for me. I remember being up during the wee hours of the night before-unable to sleep and would grab a journal and write down what was on my mind and for some reason that always helped me to sleep. It was like I got something off my chest. Blogging can be like that and even better at times because I can type faster than I write anyhow.

I hope I don't offend when I write. That's never my goal. But it does feel good to talk openly at times and hear your views as well, whether they're in agreement or not. I've shared good times, frustrating times, things I think are wrong, my personal thoughts, my anger etc. and again it just felt good to write it. I'm not a wordsmith. I've always preferred to write my feelings out rather then discuss them (something that tends to drive my husband crazy). But it's just how I express myself. I'm not really a big phone person, although please note I don't mind getting calls, LOL don't want that statement to be misunderstood. I love hearing people's voices every now and then but the only people I really call regularly are my buddies who I know don't do anything electronically. So writing for me as a whole is just fun. It's also great because I'm not being graded on bad grammar (and I'm sure there is a lot of it) etc. I can write and just be me.

LOL if you haven't already noticed this blog has not real point to it, so with that I'll end it here. God Bless have a great week!

Rediscovered

There was a show on last night called "Rediscovered." Where the producer of the Mickey Mouse Club brought back 5 people who'd auditioned for the show when they were kids to sing in front of a live audience. The people are now grown and 4 out of the 5 were married and the winner got $50,000 in cash. None of them are stars now.

I'm still waiting for my call. Many of you don't know this but I auditioned for the Mickey Mouse Club when I was in the fifth grade. I'm not kidding I really did. My parents brought me to Cleveland and I auditioned. I passed the singing part - not to brag but my voice is ok. Please don't ask me to sing you any solos I wouldn't put it in the category of great...no one would every say "That girl can sang" (those of you brought up in my family know that if the term "sang" is used then you can really blow)...don't forget that Britney Spears made it, so me saying I passed the singing part isn't that big of a deal. Of course Christina Aguliera was on there too but I can't even touch her singing wise. But anyway I passed the singing part but got the boot when I went on to the dancing part of the audition.



I never looked back. I'm actually glad I didn't make it in show business. I'm so happy with Sam and our children and I would hate to be followed all the time by the paparazzi. I honestly wouldn't mind the money though (hey I have to be truthful) but I'd hate the fame...Ok, I'm lying, I would like to sign a few autographs LOL but I wouldn't want the lasting fame where I get no privacy. And I have to admit, it would be kind of cool to be called to go on the "Rediscovered" show.




I have to call my parents to make sure the producers didn't call. I could see my mother on the phone, "Who? Mickey Mouse. LaToya doesn't live here anymore." LOL I'll have to call my mom to let her know just in case.

May I have this Dance...

So Sam and I decided to have a dance contest the other day. I don't know why exactly, I guess because we were watching "Stomp the Yard" on youtube and got inspired. So Sam found some Krump music on line and it was on!

We also let Nathan join us, at 23 months he's not that bad. Actually out of the three of us he probably had the most rhythm. I could see Sam and I aging because we both needed a lot of work. After about 20 minutes of dancing we were both pretty much exhausted. Nathan continued for about an hour as Peyton, Sam, and I looked on. It was a good time. I love to dance. Notice I didn't say that I could dance. I just said that I love to do it. I wasn't blessed with the natural rhythm it takes to make it as a dancer but I'll get up and dance in a minute if some music is on. I'll only retire when Nathan and Peyton are old enough to realize that mom is embarrassing them.
