Day after Christmas

Yesterday was a busy day on Christmas. I am like a kid around this time of year and worse than my kids at times when it comes to what time we do presents. With me I usually wake them anywhere for 1 AM to 2AM. This year it was about 2 AM when I woke them up. While they open gift I take lots of pictures because that is something I enjoy doing. Being the kid of a photographer can drive them batty at times, but they understand it. They know I am doing it to remember our memories together. We did all end up going back to bed for maybe eight hours of sleep but I think it was less than that. That afternoon was spent with my sister, brother -n- law, and nieces. My boys and I opened their gifts and my nieces opened the ones from us. I had already made them peanut butter cookies over the weekend that had already been given to them as part of a gift. When we were done there we had went to my dads to cook Christmas dinner. My boys would run back and forth to my house to get certain things they wanted and would disappear for an hour or two to find out they had been playing video games while I cooked. My dad was napping while I cooked most of it. We ate dinner with just my dad. Not that we didn't try to include my sister, brother -n- law and nieces but they had other plans at home.  My oldest went to their house after dinner to watch a game with his uncle and youngest and I went home and could barely keep eyes open to watch movies or TV. We had a Merry Christmas and were very blessed in more ways than I can count. It isn't about the lights, tree, presents under the tree. It is about pulling together and much more. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas.

Stop giving the negative people attention

 Stop giving the negative people of the world so much attention.  Stop making negative people so famous for negative stuff. It's disgusting that the people who are doing horrible things are being given that attention. We as people see it in people's real lives and social media. Social media is where we need to start drawing the line. If we would take that attention away and ignored the bad behavior maybe just maybe they would see that it isn't good. People have turned negative into this is a social normal. It is not a social normal. Stop feeding the negative and toxic behavior. Stop saying it's normal.  I'd like to see more of you sharing people who are trying to succeed in life, build each other up, helping one another with small business or businesses, spreading love and light, helping people who are less fortunate, listening to others, being there for people who have depression, anxiety, PTSD,and much more.  So many could be successful if everyone supports everyo

Cursed House

  It's a dark stormy night this Halloween night. The clouds  are ominous.  You can feel the energy from the storm. 5 friends and me are staying in an abandoned house deep in the Bayou of Louisiana.  I had picked the place. My friends and I love spooky things. This year we are hoping for a good scare because last year we went to a cemetary and it was just a bunch of teenagers messing with us. We get to the abandoned house before it starts storming.  There is a fireplace in the living room and we light a fire to stay warm and cozy.  "Ari what is the plan?" my boyfriend asks. "I thought we would eat and check the house out after." My friends and I make sandwiches. We eat in the living room. While we are eating we hear kids laughing. We get up to see where it is coming from and find nothing.  It is  a big house you can get lost in because the house is made like a maze. "This house is strange," Joe says. "Did you know  it was made like a maze?&quo
