So I've been thinking about my blogging lately and I think it's become mundane, boring, down-right sloppy. However much I love posting pictures of my kids, I'm getting tired of all the usual things we've done year after year (can't believe I've been blogging for nearly 2 years!!!)... SO, I've decided to take this blogging in a new direction, or try to anyway. I'll attempt to post more often and about my true confessions as a mom, wife, friend, co-worker...yada, yada, yada. So it won't be for the faint of heart, nor will it be all gushy fun smiles. I'll continue to blog about my kids (because I love them and they're...well, funny little creatures)and I'll continue to blog about my extended family and friends, but I'll also include just random thoughts and ideas. Henceforth, my boys will be referred to as Bird1 (L), Bird2 (O), Bird3 (J), and BabyBird (F), Jere will be BirdPapa, and myself...well, queenBird... because well, I am :) Why Bird? my children are dirty little birds most of the time and I often refer to them as such (I often tell them they look like little orphans as well because they are dirty, shirtless, and shoeless for a good portion of each day). That's just the way we roll...

So as long as I'm sitting down at this 'puter and don't have one of the birds nipping at my ear I'll go ahead and start my rant! Cancer pisses me off...just sayin'. I'm mad, angry, pissed, hurt, and yet faithful...Unfortunately we've ALL been affected one way or another by this crappy illness. I just don't get it, how can we put a man in outer space, do surgeries on babies IN UTERO!, Skype around the world, yada yada yada but can't get rid of this horrible disease??? I. Just. Don't. Get. It. and it pisses me off (again). A good friend of ours, Jason, lost his dad to cancer when we were in high school. It was awful, tragic, heartbreaking then... he was the only male in the family with one sister and his mom. So he's taken care of the girls since that time. Yesterday, he put his mom in hospice- crap! It's not fair. Lift up the Harriman/Poland family Please!!! Jason and his sister will lose another parent Way. Too. Soon... Give them strength, Lord.
