The show in Washington is going great. Ed has called me a several times since he arrived and he is exuding such positive energy about it, I can't help but feel excited. He's meeting all kinds of laid-back folks in the business and attending seminars. Ed has such an attractive personality that he makes friends in seconds. He's having fun, and learning a ton of information. I am so relieved that it is going so well. Ed having a good first experience with this is key,in my mind. He thinks I would have loved it and he wishes me there... next year.
Here at home, I've spent the day cleaning the house... much to the girls' disappointment. I gave them a choice to help me by doing their jobs (pick up toys, put things away, put laundry--that I washed, folded, and sorted--into drawers) and I would double the amount that their grandmother sent them for Valentine's day and then take them to Target this weekend to spend it OR they could sit around and pick their butts while I cleaned up... but there would not be any money, trips to Target, or any other fun courtesy of Mama. In addition, I would not clean up their rooms, and I would dump their stuff (found in other rooms) onto their bedroom floor.
They chose to pick their butts.I managed to:
Completely wash/fold/sort seven loads of laundry (most of which I picked up from their bedrooms).
Cleaned and vacuumed our bedroom/bathroom.
Picked up (not a quick job... you have to understand that if I let a couple days go by then every single room in the house has to be picked up because my girls leave their crap everywhere... another bed I made for myself) and vacuumed the upstairs hallway.
Put away all the "this and that" covering my (very long) dining room table. It is a clutter collector.
Sorted and dealt with this week's tower of school papers.
Sorted and chose photos to fill two more collage frames.
Hung one of the ceramic pieces Miss A. made for me over the doorway to the kitchen. It's a plaque with our surname, cut from wet clay and stamped/decorated/painted by her, and it looks great.
Decrapped the foyer and hung up/put away the plethora of coats/hoodies/scarves/shoes that were left there.
Nope. They just kept on with the butt picking... and complaining. And fighting. And whining. I'm sorry, but my children are spoiled rotten when it comes to cleaning up after themselves. Spoiled because it has always been much easier to do it for them than fight. Lame parenting. I'm working on it. I do not force them to clean their rooms, if they want to live in a mess and never find anything of theirs then that is their choice... but family areas are where we are all responsible to keep it livable.
Weekends with Mama, while Dad is away, aren't so much fun.
More lights/hieroglyphics in the sky in Texas last night. I am still watching what happens, incredibly intrigued.
UPDATED: To add link.
More young people bleeding and dead.I am numb to it. Are you?Always unexpected, less shocking with each event. This sickens me about myself.Love and healing energy to the victims in Illinois, and their families.Love and peace to the family of the killer, and may the killer find himself at the feet of karma.Peaceful blessings.Good night.

Just curious ... Did you ever find the regular-type video (as opposed to the pulse video) of the particular siting we discussed last week? I'm so curious to see it without the pulse for a better perspective.
There's nothing else that I can find.
It says on the site that it is "pulse video", which means that what they are showing us are basically two-second snapshots ... not a continuous flow of video. I don't doubt that the real video exists (because they actually mention the actual video on the site and the fact that you can hear the videographer talking in the background) and I think that perhaps the person who bought it from the videographer is holding tight to it for copyright-type reasons or just showing the highlights.
Maybe it'll be available sooner or later.
Well, they might be ... That's why I'm so curious to see!
Despite all my skepticism about god-things, I am always intrigued and fascinated by real things, like other intelligent life, evolution, etc.
When I researched it after your first post on it, I thought that there were several sitings on different dates in that same area (throughout the month of January). Maybe it was just two, but I got the feeling that there were more. I did some of my research on youtube, so you might want to try that. I found several news stories on it (via youtube).
I Love You!
Tracy... Dover is just about an hour from me, maybe less.
