We got some snow last night, around 9:00pm snow was coming down in a big chunk. My kids friend came over which they live next door to us and wanted my kids to go outside and play on the snow. So, they did.... I came to find out that my son does not have a pair of a snow suit,but he went outside and play anyway. They played for an hour and then came inside.
Here is the picture of my front yard. Snow is sure pretty but it is darn cold.

Deal With Being Considered Perfect
Friday, December 4, 2009
At school, by family, anywhere, do they always tell you you're perfect, when you know that you aren't? Does it start to get on you're nerves when you disagree and they tell you no? Well, follow the simple steps below to find out how to deal with it.
1. Know that you don't have to try hard to be perfect to meet other's expectations
2. Be yourself!
3. Show them that you make mistakes
4. Don't let what they say get to you, stay modest!
5. When you disagree and they still tell you you're perfect, say something to them like, "I make mistakes, we are just as imperfect as each other."
6. If they still disagree, just ignore what they're saying or list some of you're own faults
7. When you get so frustrated when you're parents say that you're perfect to someone at work, or a stranger, and you're standing right there. Don't show that you're frustrated. Just simply say, "I'm not perfect, I'm human. I make mistakes"
8. Don't try to make everything you do worse to make yourself not be perfect or close to perfect.
9. Stay Confident, and every morning, you might want to look at yourself in the mirror and say, "I am (insert name here) and I am not perfect, I am human."

Waddle Around And Meet New Friend
Kids playing game on the web these days are very common. My two kids for example, they love playing online game. My son justin love to play the game called roblox, and my daughter love playing toontown and the newly game he just enrolled into which is ,clubpenguin, sometimes i can't get them off the computers but thank goodness with the rules I'd set.

Club penguin is a great online game for little kiddies. If you have little one , try it... your kids might like it.

Deal With Loneliness
Thursday, December 3, 2009
People feel lonely for a number of reasons, such as not having enough friends, not knowing how to be close to the people you know, or not being accepted by those you try to befriend.Everyone experiences loneliness. Some humans are more socially accepted. Some who try to be social remain socially rejected, and some have difficulty even trying.
1. Realize that we all get lonely. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you. We're particularly prone to loneliness when we're making transitions, especially for the better. If you're changing, such as exploring new alternatives and paths for yourself, you're bound to get a little lonely as you look for people who share your new interests and thoughts. There is no guarantee however, that you will be successful at forming new relationships.
2. Call or get together with the people you know, even if they aren't who you want to be with right now. Human contact makes more contact easier. This includes your mother and the guy at the deli counter. Listen more than talk. Listening, and drawing people out will deepen your contacts more than just talking endlessly about yourself. Do not exhaust your existing connections; these are all you have at the moment.
3. Get involved in anything where you will meet people. If you are very shy, find a group for social anxiety, even if it has to be online (obviously it's better if it's not). Look on places like Craig's List for activities in your area. Volunteering can help. But don't attend functions with the idea of making friends or meeting people. Being too demanding is a sign of loneliness. Try to go with no expectations whatsoever, and to enjoy yourself regardless of what happens.
4. Challenge yourself to take the initiative in social relationships whenever you can. You ask the person if they want to chat, get a coffee, whatever. Remember how much you like it when people are attracted to you. Remember though, that you are trying to make a place for yourself in another person's life. Do not think that just showing up will win you instant friends. It can be a long, painstaking process, and most people you meet already have their own friends and lives. You must always show interest in other people before they will show interest in you, if they ever do.
5. Take risks about revealing yourself. Say what's on your mind, if it seems at all likely the other person will be receptive. It can hurt when it backfires, but it's worth it a million times over if it works.
6. Remember that we are all alone inside our heads; we are born and die alone; it's nothing special. Every person who has ever lived has been lonely. Love wouldn't exist without loneliness to inspire it. Look at your loneliness with detachment.
7. Notice the difference between loneliness and solitude. Imagine this is the last day you will ever be alone. What would you do?
8. Join an online community. Sometimes it can help. If you're willing to help others as well as being helped yourself, check out the free Phone Buddies peer counseling community.
9. When feeling lonely, don't allow yourself to wallow in your loneliness. Do something, anything! Take a walk, ride your bike.
10. Do everything you would normally do with a partner or friend. Many times it isn't the partner or friend you are missing, but the activities and hobbies you shared. Take yourself out for a date. For example, if you would have gone out to dinner or to a movie on a date, then take yourself out to a movie or to a nice restaurant. Don't hold yourself back.
Connect with anyone who you assess to be genuine, and who is around you. Following your instincts about people can be important here. Just because someone is around/near you, doesn't mean they are good (vs. bad)company. Sometimes being alone is better than being in bad company.Set up social activities when you're not feeling lonely. Anticipate.Read literature and go to museums/theater/dance. Art reaches inside. For those with religious beliefs, consider fellowship with those of your faith. Most churches should have some sort of regular fellowship, if your church doesn’t then consider starting one.
Remember that reaching out to someone else lonelier than you could give you more happiness than you could imagine. Learn to meditate so that you have the experience of being loved and nurtured emotionally by other sources than human beings.Consider getting a pet! Animals can make marvelous companions; they give unconditional love, and can offer you loyal company. Walking a dog can also be a great way of meeting other people!Try not to get stuck into a rut with routines; routines allow you to go on auto-pilot, allowing you to day-dream about "what could be." Even worse, you're less likely to act on those day-dreams, because you'll be comfortable with your routines. Shake things up! Engage yourself in some activity that would keep your mind occupied. Remember that loneliness happens to everyone and that there is someone to talk to. Surround yourself with positive people.
Loneliness is a state where cults will find you most vulnerable. Be careful and listen to what others have to say about any group you are thinking of joining.
If you have a persistent feeling of loneliness, please seek medical help. It might be a sign of depression.Watch out! Becoming overly dependent on online communities as a social outlet may lead to addiction and more complications. Avoid trolls during all online conversations. When talking about yourself, avoid getting too personal. This might put people off, and invite mistreatment.
