When I'm home, I don't really relax. I'm always busy doing something... even when all the kids aren't home.. Thanks to my in-laws who gave me gift certificates for my 45th birthday, this past week was dedicated (sort of) to pampering Jenjen! Since my two young adults are either working or vacationing in San Diego, and my two younger ones are in South Jersey at Camp Grandma-Grandpa… A manicure-pedicure... And I don't know how - but what did I do to deserve such luxury? A day at a spa at Short Hills Hilton’s Spa Chakra was just what the doctor ordered! While I'm getting my massage, dh is hanging out by the pool! A complimentary 15 minute foot massage while sipping chamomile tea... A remedial one-hour massage at Short Hills Hilton’s Spa Chakra! (Boy! That was awesome!) A relaxing hour at the pool while sipping ice cold water and Reading a very interesting thriller-book; An hour work-out with dh that allowed ...

If it weren’t for what matters most, I probably would say life sucks! I know that I’m blessed even though six of my family members were removed from this country; I know that I’m blessed even though the US Embassy denied my petition to have my parents come back here in the US; I know that I’m blessed even though we haven’t had made a deposit in for almost a year now; I know that I’m blessed even though we’ve lost half of our savings and 401K; I know that I’m blessed even though my Dad’s pretty sick and Mom’s not feeling well either; I know that I’m blessed even though hospital bills keep piling up; I know that I’m blessed even though I feel like yelling the F word; I know that I’m blessed even though there are those who does not like me; I know that I’m blessed even though my real estate property taxes costs more than my health insurance premiums; I know that I’m blessed even though the house sidings are being broken-in my birds; I know that I’m blessed even though I have...

Our oldest son Nicholas would have been 10 years old tomorrow. Instead of cerlebrating with a birthday cake and presents, we will send balloons off to him in heaven from the cemetary where he rests. We will be surrounded by friends and family who rememebr his beautiful smile. It is a great comfort for Darlene and I to know that he is still thought of on a regular basis Nick was 2-1/2 years old when he attempted to climb up his dresser in his room. He opened the second drawer, climbed in, and the dresser toppled over onto him. He couldn't breathe with the weight of the dresser on him. We never heard a thing. Please fasten your furniture to the wall!! Attached is a photo of our beautiful son, Nicholas John Pierce. This picture was taken days before he died. It is truly a gift from heaven Children love to climb. Dressers are often tall and an open drawer offers a step, making them very easy to topple. There may be something on top of the dresser they want and they will tr...

My dearest tooth fairy, To meet you is a pleasure And a pain at the same time; I’ve been waiting since last September, School year ended and you didn’t stop by. For eight years I kept my tooth clean; Brushed, flossed and rinsed. Only for yesterday to say Good-bye in blood and in pain. I hid my special tooth under my pillow, But you must have read my mind; You forgot to put a dollar and Left my tooth for me to keep forever. Mom said to try again tonite, But I refused to let it go. This tooth was loose for years, And when it finally left my gums, It left a mark so painful I decided to keep it with me forever. I’m sure you’ll visit again, I have more teeth for you to keep; But this one you can’t have, It’s for me to treasure. Copyright © 2009 GottaLoveMom CJ Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. I got overwhelmingly busy this morning that I forgot to put a dollar under my 8yo's pillow this morning! So when he woke up, he came downstairs smiling...
