I picked up my oldest son from school (earlier than expected), due to a tummy ache. (**Note:.... With my three-year-old sidekick at toe.)
We make our departure and (ONCE AGAIN, (I ) and we) arrival, to the parking lot of Wal-Mart, for a five minute (more like ten, fifteen or twenty minutes:**REMINDER, I am at Wal-Mart, but can't a gal DREAM) medicine spree (EXCITING AND HAIR RAISING!).
Once inside, I managed to bypass the lovely arcade (placed nicely in plain sight, after you crest through the automatic doors), without it eating one of the kids. Lucky..., Oh... lucky me, I only had 2 out of 4 of my sons with me.
I then began to spree and wander (that is what I do these days) through the aisles, in search of TUMS, Pepto and Tylenol (the three essential things I need to have on hand these days, apparently), or A.K.A; TPT. Crap..., I forgot the TP.
After mumbling under my breath a ton of times, "WHY, WHy, Why, why, can't they just put everything where it should go? " I hit the seventh aisle later, and felt I should yell BINGO (I found one)!!!!! Yet, they CAN strategically place the ARCADE in the right place!?!?
Finally...., after weaving our way around mazes of little boxes and gazing at rows of pills, there I stand, holding a drug store in my hands. I look at the pharmacy line, L-O-N-G; so I peek around the Alps of medicine, and in much hope that one of "the regular" check-out lines are open. Hope... is not on my side, HOPE, is a mile away and it too, also has a L-O-N-G line.
"Well, Ookie Dookie, kiddos!!! We are going to camp-out in the pharmacy line...YAH!!"
With my fist full of drugs, I stood (note the word - I), while my three-year-old, rearranged prices, the boxes on the self, licked the Dr. Scholls pole.... (YUCK and... OMG....STOP!) and mopped the floor with his body. Not to mention, my oldest son, at his side, wrangling him like a Wild Bronco or a WWE match!!
As Mom, I redirected them and refereed every 2.5 seconds, as quiet as I possibly can; it was just one of those days! I clinched my TPT harder and harder, thinking to myself, I might need something off one of these surrounding selves for me!!
An older, "more mature", lady was waiting in front of me, she smiled at me and said I've been there. She then looked down at my three-year-old son, and looked at me and said, "Aren't you glad there is not two more of those!!" I was not sure if I should laugh really, really hard, or to cry really, really, really hard. I looked at her and said, " I HAVE SIX-YEAR-OLD TWIN BOYS TOO!!"
Silence never sounded so LOUD!!
That is called LIFE...., EMBRACE IT in its moments and SMILE!! :)

Neil Armstrong
Region Explored: Moon
Dates of exploration: July 16 - 24, 1969
Summary of their objective & accomplishments:
Neil Armstrong's early dream as a child, was to become a pilot. Neil was inspired after his father took him to an air show, he pursued his dream by getting his pilots license at the age of fifteen.
Neil Armstrong, graduated from college earning his degree in aerospace engineering and then earned his masters degree, during college he was called on by the Navy and became a fighter pilot.
Neil Armstrong then became a test pilot, testing over 200 different planes, this was a very dangerous but exciting time for Neil.
Neil Armstrong then moved onto greater heights by applying to NASA to become an astronaut. After many tests and trainings, he passed and became part of the "New Nine" astronauts.
Neil Armstrong's first flight to space was aboard, Gemini 8, where he was the command pilot, and successfully docked two vehicles in space.
After Gemini 8 mission, Neil Armstrong was offered the position of lead commander on Apollo 11, the first manned landing on the moon, he gratefully excepted.
On July 16, 1969, after many months of practicing, Neil Armstrong, along with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, were launched into space aboard Apollo 11.
Neil Armstrong and the other astronauts, encountered some problems on their journey to the moon, one of the problems was: * Neil Armstrong had to manually fly the spacecraft and land it on the moon, this was not planned for, and if landing took longer than expected, the astronauts would not have enough fuel.
On July 21,1969, Neil Armstrong successfully landed on the moons surface, he announced back to NASA, "The eagle has landed.".
Neil Armstrong, was the first astronaut to ever step foot on the moon, he spoke his most famous words on the moon, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.".
On July 24, 1969, Neil Armstrong, along with Aldrin and Collins, returned to Earth, landing in the Pacific Ocean, they were all deemed heroes.
After Neil Armstrong's amazing and successful journey to the moon, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He continued working for NASA and held many other positions, he also was a professor of aerospace engineer at the University of Cincinnati.
Neil Armstrong, passed away from heart complication on August 25, 2012. He will always remain a true hero and inspiration.

Taste this...In the Valley
Life is only what you make it..........
Sometimes you have to do things you never thought you would do, and go totally beyond what you thought was so impossible, and completely so incomprehensible.
Losing most everything along the way, they WON...., but wait, NO, YOU DID NOT; we have and are gaining so much MORE.
I am so blessed to be where I, and where we all STAND. It is a place where we all can breathe, where we all are safe. It is a new beginning, without any prejudgmental thoughts of others, making your own opinion, making your own views of life, nothing clouding your way of anything.
It is fresh, it is real, it is a new feeling. Somewhere, where you own your own thoughts, your own being, without others "over looking" or "controlling" you and being accountable for your actions.
To: N.S.E; You so know who you are!!!!! You are so quick to sweep your actions (mistakes) under the rug and shake the dust off, like it does not matter. So many others see straight through you.
It's a place, without "others", hanging over your fence, or driving by to stop..... and watch you mow your own lawn for ten minutes. There is no one standing two-doors-down, in their drive-way eyeing you down with a phone on their chin(s) and a "neighbor" by their side; or better yet, passing by "a place" (that should be "ours") as many times as you can (9/28/13), shaking their head back-and-forth, and laughing and smiling with their daughter next them, thinking you will gain something in the process of doing so.
There is no ending to (you) "it" nor that place. I wish and hope for many there, the very best. I have to say, it may be HELL.
There is no one here, where we are, that is asking for "things", that we can give unselfishly; yet others, still ask for our things, when they have no right to ask; don't you understand, if we wanted you to have it, we would have asked you to please have it, without any price attached and in total free will.
P.S.-, N.S.E.... Walking to your next door neighbors house, is great for your health. Golf Carts Are Not Needed, FORE!!! There is not a golf course in sight.
