Would You Rather....

Since i don't really have a lot to write about today i figured i would answer the prompt for today.

Would you rather be wealthy and ugly, wise and sickly, or beautiful and stupid?


In order to really answer this i guess you have to think out all the options so lets give it a go.

If you were beautiful, some would say, that it doesn't matter if you are stupid. You would be afforded opportunities that could make you rich, popular, loved (all be it for the wrong reasons maybe), and happy (in theory i guess). Being stupid however isn't a fixable thing. I guess some would say it is. But if you are truly stupid then that would mean you lack the ability to learn and grow there for leaving you always stupid. Doesn't sound very appealing to me. Beauty can be bought and stupidity just isn't acceptable to me.

To be wise is a wonderful attribute. Wise people are often wealthy in all the ways that truly matter. Love, culture, education, faith, family, friends, and work. They however can also push others away with their know-it-all attitude and obsession with gaining more knowledge. To be sickly, which i would assume means either a disability or disease, would be a hard thing to deal with for anyone no matter your situation or intelligence. I suppose when combined with being wise it would give you a goal to work towards though. You could put your intelligence to use to find a cure or build new machinery to help those with disabilities.

Wealth is measured in different things but for the purpose of the question i will assume you are referring to money-wealth. Money is a great thing to have. It can reduce stress for someone in a tight situation and help someone who really needs it. It can be used to help foundations find cures or help the less fortunate. However wealth is not always the answer. With money comes power and with power comes often a big head. To think one is all powerful is truly sad. Money and power can not always get you everything you want. Ugly...what is there to say about ugly. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder i suppose. So to be ugly would only be the opinion of those who see you as ugly but to those who see you as beautiful, well you get the point.

I don't know if i really would want to be a combo of any of these. I think there are ups and downs to all of them. If i had to choose i think i would have to pick wise and sickly because if you are truly wise i would think you would be able to know what to do with your wiseness.

What would you pick?

Sick...Ugh

Phabian made it all the way to school today just for them to call us and tell us he needed to come home. He isn't running a fever or anything. Just vomit, diariah, and an upset tummy. maybe it is just a 24 hr bug. I pray that it is just that.

He has been laying on the couch since he got home a few hours ago. He seems to be feeling better already but who knows. As long as he is resting and drinking lots of fluids i suppose he will be alright. He wont be able to make football practice tonight and i hate that for him since this is the last week.

Oh yea did i mention that his team made it to the Super Bowl!!!! Go Generals!!!! I am so proud of my boy. This was his first year playing and he is just so excited about the championship. So i pray he is better by Sunday at least for he will be able to make the game.

So not much else to report here. Phabian - sick, Sione' - teething, MJ - brat (just kidding) (not really).

Hope you are all having a very blessed day.

A Day Late and a Dollar Short

So once again i am late as usual but hey its my life i can be late if i want to right?

I have been lagging on posting regularly and was really trying to figure out how to get back in the habit when i got my monthly Nablopomo Newsletter.

This is something i participated in when i first started this blog so that i could get in the habit of positing on a regular basis. So i figured what worked before might work again.

So i am a day late starting which really isn't a big deal since i don't much care about the prizes and such. (ok i do care about the prizes but it is easier to say i don't care since i am a day late lol). This is just about getting back to my enjoyment of typing away in my very own corner of the world wide web.

So here is to November and posting everyday (except the 1st). I will guarantee you now that not every post will even be worth reading. My life is just not that interesting people. But none the less you will get something everyday from me as long as i remember.

Hope you are having a fab Tuesday and if your in the US have a fun time voting.

Bad Blogger

Ok Ok i am a bad NaBloPoMo Blogger. I missed yesterday. It is the only day this month i have missed but darn it i just forgot. I didnt realize til about 11:30 when i was laying in bed and by that time i sad forget it and went to sleep. So please forgive me lol!

So i am suppose to be going to my sister's for a bit to work on a test run of her daughter's birthday cake but she hasnt called yet. I am tired as all get out! I need a good 24 hours of straight rest which will never ever ever happen. I am not as crappy feeling as i was the other day but i am still feeling kind of lost.

I hope everyone had a happy Monday!

Pictures and Stuff

So yesterday was interesting lol. We went with my brother, his wife, and their kids to do a big family shot for Christmas. It was interesting to say the least. Their kids are a little older 7 and 9 and mine our 2 and 3. Do you see where i am going with this. My youngest, MJ, did not want to participate. We ended up having to bribe him for each picture. I now owe him 3 cars, some chocolate, and my SIL gave him a dollar. Yea he racked it up. I wish i would have got paid to take pictures.

We went to JC Penney Portraits Studio and the girl who did the pictures was great. She was so patient with my kids and got some great shots. I will make sure to post them where ever we get them in. We did one group shot of everyone. A family shot of just me and my husband and our kids which is the first in almost 2 years. We did one of my niece and nephew together and them tried to do one of my kids together but ended up with a shot of each kid by them self. Then we did once of all the kids together. It was very nice.

The last time we did a big group shot of the family together like that i was 12 and my nephew was 1 (just so their is no questions my brother is 14yrs older than me). I am now 22 so that means it has been 10 years. So sad that it took that long to do it again but hey it worked very well. We did the whole white shirts and blue jean look which i think turned out great. I just wish the kids would have been a little more into it. Over all the look very natural and happy. Not too too poesy but still organized. We don't look like robots lol!

In other news Bloggy Giveaway Quarterly Carnival was very good to me. I won 2 things last week. First i won a $25 dollar gift certificate for N Style Mom and a 1 year subscription to Parents from 5 Minutes for Parenting. I am a person who hardly ever wins anything so to randomly be chosen to win these 2 things was awesome. I used my gift certificate to buy a Monogrammed Travel Tumbler. I am a big coffee and tea drinker so this is great!

Just one last thing. I am enrolled in NaBloPoMo for those of you who know what it is. For those who don't know what it is, it stands for National Blog Post Month which is November. I am pledging to post everyday this month which might be hard but i am giving it a go. I hope maybe some of you will join me and if not them at least i hope you read and pass me on if you like me to you friends.

Have a happy Monday all and a great week!
