I heard a wise man say don't be afraid of death be afaraid of the unlived life. Think about that what have you done lately that was really living. Not something motivated to work or home. Something that if you have a famliy it brings you together. And some things you have to experince for yourself. Go out and do something fun and silly if for no other reason than because its fun.
I look at my self and realize that i live an unlived life. I have been unemployed for a year, i like staying at home with my 3 year old and picking my 7 year old up from school. I have come to realize that i am not the kind of house wife i thought i would be taking them to sports or dance. In my mind i saw my self going to the gym being healthier. How many of those things have i done none. But the TV networks should pay me for driving up there ratings.LOL
What that man said hit home for me ,what am i doing for myself or anyone else? I decided to change that i'm going to start living. I'm not stupid you can't just make major changes and expect them to stick in the long run. i started out with a bunch of small things For more fun with the kids and just letting them be kids and have fun, we did the backyard with swings and slide hot tube and pool.Toys as bats,balls,hula hoops. I take them outside let them run i spent to much time in front of the tv and while i was there so were my kids. theres nothing like seeing your kids light up swinging and running around care free to let you know that your living and so are they.....
Next will be how we can MAKE this a better place for them to have there children cause lets face it this country is going to shit

the lake city tombs
I like to research things just for the fun i know how silly. well, i decide that i wanted to know more about where i have grown up and in my research i found that in the 1920's a man with the last name Dumazuel was drilling oil about 65 feet under ground when they accidental finding the petrified remains of prehistoric men. woman, and kids. local people called the site "the lake city tombs". Of course with all good stories there is mystery. The man who found the site name was Edmund Robillard then he married and took her name and with her name wealth and royal status.
He turned the tombs into a tourist attraction to make money, the people of my wonderful town being the close minded people that they are tried to blow up the entrance to the site. that did not discourage Dumazuel. He cleared the debris and made the opening bigger, upon making it bigger he discovered a stone tablet with hieroglyphics. He took the money from the site to start constructing a second concrete entrance with descending tunnels. At the bottom of the first set of stairs in a huge iron gate that was closed all times they weren't doing any construction.After the iron door the first tunnel. the tunnels once finished were to lead into the underground cavern on one side where you can see the bodies in there original position then they would come out on the other side after passing through a small underground chapel where other relics and things that were found are on display.
Unfortunately they were not finished . Dumazuel had two young sons one of them accidental shot and killed the other. Dumazuel was so dis trot that he drove around with his dead son in his car for many days till officials made him properly bury him it was then that he made and above ground tomb for his son. Mr Dumazuel had previously worked for the government and was asked back to washington. In his attempt to save the tombs he gave it the the cathloic church. The city of lake city saw fit to remove all of the buildings then they filled the original shaft with many truck loads of dirt. and the second shaft was capped and covered with earth.
In my research i found that in 2005 a local lawyer robert jordan bought the property from the church and turned it to commerical subd. he said that when he first bought the property he had equipment out there and tried to reopen it he only went 20 feet down. So i've tried talking to him about preserving the tombs i have showed him all of the reports.He doesn't believe that the remains are real.
so now since a rich lawyer doesn't believe that they are real and bought the property we will forever lose a piece of history.
