The Big Spring Clean



Spring is such a beautiful time of year.  With all the rain and sun, things get greener everyday. You throw your windows up and allow the fresh air to to stir through your rooms.  Isn't it a great feeling to be in a bright room with a fresh breeze flowing through it? I mean it gives you a sense of new possibilities as the bitter cold of winter gets behind us for a while. During the spring season we always have the urge to begin cleaning. To freshen up, to try something new, to rearrange furniture or get all the clutter organized.


It's the same with our lives.  You know spring cleaning is not just for your home anymore!  After years of doing things the same way our lives can get musty & stale.Sometimes we need to throw light into dark corners and brighten up our perspectives.  Sometimes we need to rearrange some people in our lives or throw away activities that clutter our schedules. Other times we need to organize the rooms of our lives.




With spring comes a momentum.  We need to use that momentum to freshen up our lives and invite others to do the same. Today evaluate what is dusty and what could be refreshed in your life and feel the breeze of possibility move within you.  Remember Spring Cleaning is not just for the home it's important in our lives.

Random Thoughtery


Well I had to finally  bite the bullet and go and put gas in my car.  Well I was already mad this morning because I wasted a whole bottle of insulin for my son, but I will get to that a little later in this blog. So I pull up to the gas pump and look to see which organ I will have to give up to fill up my tank.  To my surprise the pump talked to me saying it didn't want my liver or kidney or even my first born for the gas, just $3.39 per gallon. I said to myself Damn you may as well take one of my kidney's. So I proceeded to go into the gas station to pay $40.00 for a tank that will probably take $70.00 worth of gas. While there I had to get some hazlenut coffee and a bagel so I proceed to the counter. A lady is in my way so as politely as I could in my angered mode I said, "Excuse me ma'am can I get to the coffee pot in front of you."  She looked at me smiled, I kinda smirked back, you know cause I'm from NY you can't smile at everyone & was in angry mode, and she said, "sure." So I stepped in front of her and got my divinely smelling hazlenut 12 oz. of coffee. Ahhhhh heavenly smell just a complete smell orgasm.... Anyway I turn to go put my creamer in sugar in and I walk over to get a spoon, b/c you know those little skinny stirrers never really stir your coffee.... but as I go to get the spoon and I turn to go back to the area to put my sugar in I bump into the lady I asked to move.  Here is the exchange:

Me:  Oh I apologize I really didn't see you behind me.
Lady:Oh that's ok let me buy you a cup of coffee.
Me: Oh thank you but that's ok, I probably need to purchase a larger cup after stepping all over you(laugh)
Lady: (Laughs heartily and moves to the register)
Me: (Walks to the register)
Lady: Ma'am come here
Me: (walks to the lady) Yes ma'am
Lady: I purchased your coffee you have a great day (Walks out of the store)


She walked out the store before I got a chance to say thank you.  What a way to start your day. Can you imagine how quick my anger left me? Sometimes people can really be a blessing to you and create a totally different mood in you by a statement, a smile, a good deed.  This woman didn't know me from Adam but God knew I needed something to get me out that funky mood.  Random Thoughtery: it is awesome to realize how trivial anger is. It's much better to enjoy the day and every second in it through the half full cup of  coffee. The other thought is LOL,OMG  & WTF are not fair gas prices.




Ok So you know that I broke a completely FULL bottle of insulin this morning. I mean really WTH I drop the whole casing and when I opened up the case insulin everywhere. SMH that damn insulin is a good little drop in the freaking bucket.  So my son looks at me as if to say, who are you going to yell at yourself? Little smart ass. I was so mad what a waste. If I hadn't been fussin at my son and rushing it would not have happened.  Random Thoughtery: Get the memo, Stop freaking sweating the small stuff & it is all small stuff. Take your time and don't allow everything to get to you.




You know I am so tired of hearing about Charlie Sheen.  He is making a killing out of publicizing his drug addiction and bipolar tendencies. Now he thinks he is Hugh Hefner my having girlfriends he calls Goddesses.  What a freaking joke. So each news station decides this is real news and continue to talk about it day to day. I am wondering why it took them so long to remove the children from his care.  His ramblings are just that rambles with no rhyme or reason.   His eyes are sunken into his skinny face & his neck shows how much drugs he is really doing. The only way this man will awaken from his craziness is when he hits rock bottom and he is so close to that bottom if not already there.  Random Thoughtery: Charlie Sheen needs help someone please intervene before his children end up fatherless. SMH




Random questions...


Why do people think that swaying their arm back and forth would change the direction of a bowling ball? I mean really LOL you already threw the ball unless you have some special powers moving your arms back and forth will mean nothing.  LOL


If a kid refuses to sleep during nap time, are they guilty of resisting a rest? I say yes throw that kid in baby prison, it's called the crib LOL


How can something be "new" and "improved"? if it's new, what was it improving on? I mean really think about it LOL


This one I never understood, Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Duh how about you count the stars before you touch the paint smh ROTFL


Ok those are all the randoms I have for the day.... I am sure I will come up with more...


Until then


Be Blessed, Be Encouraged & Be a Blessing!
