Hey Parents!!!!

Found this and HAD to share:

A friend posted this on her FB page and thought it was worth sharing with everyone. It has some real meaning and for those that haven't grown up and have kids, well, it's time to grow up!! Your kids need their parents to help them in life, guidance. Don't let them grow up like weeds, as my mom would say. They need to enjoy life and learn the important things as well as fun things. 

In the end you parents will be held accountable for the action of your children. What would you say when questioned about how they were raised, grew up without their parents help. 

And people wonder why children these days are bullies. 

COME ON PARENTS, GROW UP!!!

Can You Say GO COUGARS!!!

Woke up to a cloudy morning!! Little bit of rain overnight. Not really what you would call rain, but the pavement is wet!! Now it's starting to clear up, so we'll have to wait another time for rain or snow!!

Well, the UNM Lobos lost another football game. They played Nevada yesterday and lost 31-24. The game was tied up near the end but the Lobos just couldn't keep Nevada from scoring and they couldn't get to the end zone, either. Oh well, at least they haven't lost games that are outrageous. I mean like 70-0. They lose close games so that's good. Maybe next year they will do much better. The media better not start talking bowl games too early in the season, like they did this year. Once bowl games came up, the Lobos have lost their games. Shame on the media!!! They blew it for the Lobos!!!  ;)
Now for the Cougars (BYU). I love, love, love the BYU channel. They show lots of the sports events so I don't miss much. I've been following the Women's Soccer team. Trying to figure the game out and this was one way to learn the sport. I just never understood the game, even when I was in school and we played the game. It's like you just kick the ball and others try to get it away from you. Then you get kicked by those people after the ball. That's not fun. Now, I've been watching the team play and those ladies know how to play!! They became the #1 seed for the NCAA Tournament. They've played their games in Provo, Yay!! Well, they've won their games so far. Last night they played Marquette. What a game. It was so exciting to watch. I even got the other members of the family watching. It went into OT but no score. Then it went into a second OT, still no score. Now the penalty kicks came up. After the 5 kicks by both teams, it was tied 3-3! Now they had to send up the next few players for a shot and then Marquette kicker kicked the ball over the net. Now it was up to Kayla Varner and she made the shot that gave the game to the Cougars. First time the team made the Elite Eight since 2003. Their next game is November 23. Hopefully they go all the way and win the whole thing. They are awesome.
The football team played against San Jose State. And they came out losing that game. They had a chance to go ahead and win but it wasn't meant to be, I guess. They fumbled the ball and SJS had it won since it was a little more than a minute to go in the game. Next game is against New Mexico State.
I'm not sure how the basketball team did against Notre Dame. Too many games yesterday.
So, not much else going on around here. Just the same old things.

Can You Believe Its November 9th??

Where has the time gone? I was trying to keep up with writing something at least once a week. But the time just flies, whether you're having fun or not!!! Heck, I can't remember if it was fun or not!!
So the UNM Lobos have lost a lot of games but they're not blow-outs, so they are doing pretty good. They held Fresno State to zero for the first half. I think Fresno woke up and scored a bunch of points. They won 42-24!! The game before that, the sports announcers were talking about bowl games for the Lobos!! They spoke too soon because the Lobos hadn't won since then. They may have won 1 but I don't remember. They lost to UNLV last week and I think their bowl dreams is down the drain. They were talking about the bowl game that is here at UNM.
BYU's Women's Volleyball team has been doing pretty good. Been trying to watch their games. The soccer team (women's) is doing great, as well. I am trying to get into soccer but I don't understand the whole thing, yet. Kind of like the times I didn't understand football. Just that I knew the guy had the ball and everyone wants to get it and then they just pile up on each other. WHY??? And I wondered why the guy with the ball has to run right into the crowd of players?? Can't he see that there's the crowd and he just has to run around them??? Crazy sports games. Anyway, the soccer team got the #1 seed in the NCAA tournament!! Good luck to them (not sure when they are playing, they might already have played and won!!)  Now basketball is getting underway. Today the women's and men's teams played and both won!! Volleyball and football tomorrow!! Woo hoo. Love to watch the sports games on BYUtv.
Isn't is crazy that these retail stores are opening on Thanksgiving day??? Crazy, crazy, crazy. Guess the bosses(owners) just see $$$ in their eyes and don't care that some of the employees want to spend time with the family. Especially those that don't see their family often. Even though they are opening in the evening, it's not good for those that would love to travel to see family. I, for one, won't be shopping that evening or on Black Friday!! So, so glad that I don't have the money to spend on what I call junk. Sometimes, people buy things without thinking and buy things for people that don't even want it!! Then the thing just sits around, hangs around, collects dust and it's just a waste of money. I see people buy stuff that I wouldn't want and think about the person getting it. Hmmmm................. I'd rather pick the stuff out myself. In fact that's what I've done in the past. I would buy the things I want, give it to my mom and then if anyone says they want to buy me something, she just gave it to them and said something to the effect that she got it for me but they can give it to me. Sometimes I forgot that I bought it and was surprised that someone thought about getting that for me. Then days later would remember that I actually bought it. I don't know if anyone ever figured out what I had been doing. Sorry if the person reading this finds out. Hopefully none of them will read this!!!
Finally, we re-elected President Obama for a second term in office. I know of many people who got pretty upset that he won. I got to thinking about it. I know a lot of people who said that we need a new president in office because Obama just wasn't doing what he promised to do. People said that we will have a new president because they prayed about it and prayed just about everyday. I thought that the reason Obama won was because Heavenly Father didn't want us to just pray for a new president. He knew that if we, who prayed for a new president, would stop praying after the election and sit back and pat ourselves on the back and say Good Job. No need to pray anymore now that we got the new president. I think the reason Obama won was because we prayed for a new president and Heavenly Father knew the outcome and said, NO, I will keep Obama in so the people will realize they need to pray EVERYDAY, no matter what. We need to get back into praying, going to church, reading our scriptures, etc. He answers prayers and if we do what we're suppose to do, (keep his commandments, attend church, pray, read scriptures) he will answer them. So if we pray for the current president, can you imagine what the prayers can do? If you read the scriptures, the answer is there! I'm not one that knows it all, but I've been reading my scriptures and I see answers to things that are going on around me. Answers to what I pray about. You can really be surprised at what's in the scriptures!
Sometimes I have to laugh at the people who call me evil. Some people say that I don't go to church, read scriptures or pray. Funny that I don't ever see these people come check up on me. If they did, they would be surprised at what they will see. Then there are people who call me evil because they don't like themselves, as they seem to be the ones that are evil. So if they can say I am evil, then it's OK that they can be that way, too. Sad that they don't see that. Some people don't even know that I can see right through them. (I ought to take pictures of them and you will see that, too). (sorry, just had to say it!!) People get to the point that they think that everyone does what they do. If they're dabbling with evil things, they assume we all do it. Little do they know that those of us that don't do that know that. People seem to have to justify things so they don't have to change their ways. Sad that the children are brought into their situation and those adults don't even know what they are doing to the children. And they wonder what happened to their children when they start getting into trouble. They blame everyone else: their friends, their teachers, the schools, whoever they can point fingers to. I've learned that children learn things from birth to 6 years old and carries that knowledge with them as they get older. So those that swear and cuss, fight, smoke, drink in front of these young kids are teaching them that it's OK. Then when the child starts school, they're swearing like it's the thing to do and the parents get called from the schools that the kids are not behaving. So they blame others for that not realizing that they're the ones who taught them that. We wonder why there are so much bullying going around these days. Those kids learned it from their parents and relatives!!!
Well, enough of that. Let's see, Hey, let's sing some Christmas songs......................................... ;)
