And yes.. this is on the internet.. no running for public office now guys.. :( LOL nice post.. a "pick me up" too say the least..

I listened to it at 2:30ish. I wanted to talk to him right away but I couldn't..I cried for three hours.. memories.. thoughts.. anger..and then HOPE.. belief in a man as strong as our Daddy is. And I felt strong enough to return his call. But I missed him both times and tossed and turned all night waiting for the next day so I could hear his voice. We talked, we teased.. I listened. it hurts. I asked the same thing about him suffering. He answered honestly. I face the reality of the situation, but I don't feel that it's time for him to move on. The waiting, the thinking.. that will drive me buggy.. as you said Kerri, too late Dad we will worry as we always have. I love you very much Dad.. always. As people we prepare for the worst but as Dad himself is doing we have to believe that he can survive yet another hurdle. Our Daddy is one tough DUDE! My thoughts and best wishes are with loribug and her Dad.

You have created a place where one can leave their own worries at the door, or relate to the ones you convey. I personally find my time here relaxing, humorous at times and like a peep hole into your world, that I wouldn't be able to share otherwise. You are a writer. I often leave after reading and continue to think of what you had written. Waiting until the next post. That is a true writer, allowing reader's to take with them and ponder the words that you have so carefully typed. You are a beautiful, inspiring, strong and passionate woman. That makes your words genuine, a reflection of you. As you've grown as a person I see you closing in on the gap that makes us whole, unique and content. You wear your many titles well, but don't forget you are also a sister..and this sister loves you for who you are, your words tickle my thoughts and touch my heart...my sister, the writer!

I love that someone created a place for the littler people to go and have fun. Nice discount and all. Never had those types of places when we were younger, we had to make up our own fun. lol Them are some real cute boys... look just like their Aunt Kim...lol I love the pic of Aidan 4th down on the left.. looks like he owns the place....just laid back and content. And Mr Jacek and that robust smile in the 1st pic on the right... shows just how much he is growing up! Glad you all had fun!

Come here Kerri.. Let me show you something....lol.. and stop pricking the neck on the voo doo doll .. that already hurts! Thu, 15 Sep 2011 17:48:11 +0000 http://www.kerrisklutter.com/2011/09/06/beans-to-rocks/#IDComment193752151 http://www.kerrisklutter.com/2011/09/15/a-lesson-in-cart-corraling/#IDComment193750453 Sorry Kerri.. I didn't know it was your van. Seriously.. it's not just the ME thing.. it's the LAZY thing. I see it all the time.. too much effort to put carts away. I am the one you will see running after a cart, that is not mine, as it careens across the parking lot, aiming at the vehicle in its path. I have grabbed so many carts before they hit the cars I should have an award or a pin with CART CATCHER written on it... Sorry about the muck mark on your bumper.. and bad words to the smuck who did it.... Thu, 15 Sep 2011 17:41:24 +0000 http://www.kerrisklutter.com/2011/09/15/a-lesson-in-cart-corraling/#IDComment193750453 http://www.kerrisklutter.com/2011/09/10/stuck-on-repeat/#IDComment192294503 A Mommy can have meltdowns too! Some days are tougher than others, as we know. Poor Aidan, part of his meltdown is envy that Jacek goes to school all day; he’s going to feel that as he grows up. You&Kris did. I was doing things first; you were too young to understand why. It just wasn't fair. He must wonder what Jacek is doing all day. A child's concept of time is not like ours-5 mins is forever! Missing his "norm", as it was up until this week, Mommy, him and Jacek; that little beanie baby thrower may not know what he feels but I bet he misses his brother. When in meltdown (MD) mode one is too busy thinking to hear. For real. If he's like his Mommy he's a deep thinker. :) Repeat, RINSE... Forgetting to rinse? I "get" the "repeat" thing constantly. What? Huh? From everyone and anyone it seems (hair ripping). Rinse=deep breath! Rinse as much as needed. After a day of "repeat" you feel like you were part of a conspiracy- against you! Vent text me when you need, I'll cheer ya up!

You said it all...nicely written, exactly what "fall" is.. I used to feel not negative exactly, but hesitant about fall... the trees dying, cold weather starting... etc. but as I got older I realized what you wrote.. change.. that's what it is. Change is the only constant in this world... good or bad. Finding the riches of every season so that each is uniquely it's own, holding their own meanings, creating memories from each season and learning to enjoy the newness of each, as they pass from one to the next. I look forward to that change now...I was in my room the other day and came across my lime green,fuzzy slipper socks..lol I got all excited and put them in my bathroom.. they mean snuggles and comfort during cooler days and nights. (PS- I need the candles.. I don't bake.)

I don't like that the trees lose their leaves, but I love the color changes and the sound they make under your feet when you walk on them..lol like when we were little on Halloween.. scuffling through the dried, colored leaves...breathing the crisp air.. that excited but getting tired feeling that makes ya want to get cozy. That's fall to me. Am I off your topic here ;} ? Thu, 8 Sep 2011 22:30:22 +0000 http://www.kerrisklutter.com/2011/09/08/summer-ending/#IDComment191238203 http://www.kerrisklutter.com/2011/09/06/beans-to-rocks/#IDComment190459144 LOL my baby sister-as the oldest of our trio, I admit you were "bullied" a bit more by us, you were youngest, we knew it made you mad, and you fit under that bean bag so well...lol (always Kristen's idea) but you did get older, stronger and you too handed it out. I remember, on the couch foot wrestling, pulling each other's hair, hitting each other with pillows; we were told to "leave each other alone" and "to get away from each other if we couldn't play nice." Flashbacks at all? lol I may have been raised elsewhere if not. Sometimes as kids we started off playing, goofing around and then one gets hurt, so they get that person back, etc.. lol but we came out okay and the bean bag left no marks-really that mark hardly shows now. Boys are rougher, never figured out why. I read this to Preston and he laughed because he did this with his brother.They still laugh about it. When they share their rough housing stories now, I have to admit they are funny,but I am glad us girls never got that rough. (Note to myself; NO beanie babies for my nephews as presents) Now I am off to find that bean bag I kept....love ya Tue, 6 Sep 2011 22:10:53 +0000 http://www.kerrisklutter.com/2011/09/06/beans-to-rocks/#IDComment190459144 http://www.kerrisklutter.com/2011/09/05/sleep-is-nice/#IDComment190039754 LOL .. hope you don't get too may lazy days.. you guys wont have a house left!!! Grats on the full nights sleep... Sleep is good stuff. So are lemon bars.. lol I didn't get that coffee yet kiddo. Mocha Java? I believe? Sounds like it was made for lemon bars.. have a happy lazy day!!! Oh and I love that you are blogging every day..lol like looking forward to the next chapter of a great book.. you should pretend that NaBloPoMo??? ( is that right?) goes on every month!!!

Not the news I was expecting. I have Jessie, Cowboy's brother. I can't even imagine him not being with me. Each pup from that litter was totally unique.. but loyal and loving.. Cowboy was what I considered " selective", he knew who he loved... and they knew it too. He will be missed!!! But.. not forgotten. To me, pets are like gerbils, dogs are family. Their passing hurts. As you said, "Pain reminds us we're alive, Love reminds us why." Rest in Peace Cowboy! Love to K, T, Z & A.

I can see the the two of you, talking while the lightening flickers around you.. Elizabeth did the same thing. Now she's 15 and when we have a storm.. she doesn't come to my bed anymore. But still.. I listen for her, I wait until the storm ends.. and I think too of how it was when she was little. But there are still times she comes to me in the middle of the night.. and like no alarm clock or noise in the world.. her whispered, "Mom" and her touch.. wake me. A mommy is a mommy forever.. and our babies are our babies, no matter how old they get! (I don't remember being scared of storms as a little girl, I just wanted to sleep on Mom and Dad's waterbed ;) ) Love ya!

Don't get down on yourself, it will drive you even nuttier about it and make you feel guiltier for not keeping up with daily running. Life has a way of saying "hey you need a break", even if it's just feeling lazy. You aren't that far behind that you can't catch up and maintain. I admire you, not only as my sister, but as a woman, your passion, dedication and will power to keep going! I'm proud and in awe of you, for choosing running as a form of exercise, frustration outlet and personal empowerment, in your life!! For that next 5k, motivation and ambition, they'll come back, but YOUR SPIRIT, to do something (anything), to be good at it and to follow through that's what you haven't lost!! Your time on your last run is awesome! You can beat your time next run! Always embrace your spirit Kerri and YOU RUN GIRL! Good luck with the NaBloPoMo! Write nice blogs about me,I am a story waiting to be written ya know. lol I love you Kerri.- Kim Fri, 2 Sep 2011 16:48:18 +0000 http://www.kerrisklutter.com/2011/09/01/going-for-a-run/#IDComment189060874
