Hop 2 It

I heard about this place from a co-worker with a little girl just a touch younger than Delyah. I thought it sounded amazing! It's a play place for kids. I've heard of these places in bigger cities, so you can imagine my delight to find something here, in Twin Falls of all places! Turns out it is right around the corner from my appartment. I can literally see the building from my bedroom window! They just have all these jump houses, with one designed for kids 4 and under only.

Delyah spent most of her time between that house and the ball pit!  

At one point I went down the slide with Delyah - and quickly learned that pregnant mom's need to have daddies with them for such things!

  We played in the pit for awhile, but it didn't take too long for me to loose my patience with the other kids thinking it was ok to throw the balls at me since I was the "big kid". Those plastic balls can really sting!!! 

 After that I let Delyah go down the slide by herself and a very nice understanding mom lifted her back out when she got fussy!

All in all it was a lot of fun, but she sure looked little compared to those other kids! I'm so use to her being the biggest kid around, or at least the same size as the rest of my friends' kids.  Note to self - don't go on a Saturday afternoon! Definately worth the $5 admission - and parents are free! (and get to play too)

 

Incubus

(Stellar)
Meet me in outer space
I will hold you close
If you're afraid of heights
I need you to see this place
It might be the only way 
That I can show you how 
It feels to be inside of you

(I Miss You)
To see you when I wake up 
Is a gift I didn't think could be real
To know that you feel the same as I do 
Is a three-fold utopian dream

(Warning)
Bat your eyes girl
Be otherworldly
Count your blessings
Seduce a stranger
What's so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness
When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by
I suggest we learn to love ourselves
Before it's made illegal
When will we learn?
When will we change?
Just in time to see it all fall down
Those left standing will make millions
Writing books on the way it should have been
When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by
Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi
We are like frogs oblivious
To the water starting to boil
No one flinchesWe all float face down
When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning
Don't ever let life pass you by

(Drive)
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear 
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I am beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive 
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive? 
It's driven me before 
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that 
When I drive myself my light is found
So whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there 
With open arms and open eyes
Would you kill the Queen to crush the hive? 
Would you choose water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive?  

Family really is everything

Been a rough couple of weeks for me. Andy and I have been fighting, but we are doing MUCH better now. I got in a fight with one of my best friends who in no uncertain terms told me where I can shove it. Tonight I found out someone from my family has to have all meals with my grandma as she can no longer feed herself and the home she is in is a bit understaffed so they need us to help. 

Is it wrong to want her to die? She doesn't remember hardly anyone in the family anymore, she can't dress herself, bath, or use the bathroom by herself. Now she can't feed herself. Really, wouldn't everyone be better if she was gone? She is a believer, so she has God to go to. The family can stop watching her die. Is that just horrible? I'd much rather she be my grandma, who makes the best biscuits and gravey EVER. Who use to make me do my homework, and we'd watch soap operas and sit in her hot tub and put together puzzles. But if she can't do anything anymore, what's the point?
