Today Is Tuesday. You Know What That Means


Today is Tuesday.
You know what that means.
We're gonna have a special guest!
So put on your ears
Like good Mousekateers.
Cause Tuesday is Guest Star Day!!!

FACEBOOK..A fun way to keep in touch with friends, old and new. I admit I haven't joined the party yet. To tell you the truth, there aren't too many old friends that I have a huge desire to "re-hook-up" with. My younger days were....well.....as I said, there aren't too many old friends that I have a huge desire to "re-hook-up" with. PLUS, I have a hard enough time getting around to reading all of the blogs written by my NEW friends.

FACEBOOK- Kids love it. It is their way of "expressing" themselves. They can chat with their friends, work on computer tech, and keep up with what's what in their circle.

FACEBOOK- These days many kids are more computer savy than their parents. Or in my case.... MOST kids are A LOT more savy! My computer skills fall in these categories......Blogging, e-Bay and e-Mail. That about covers it.

FACEBOOK- My kids have accounts. How sweet...NOT. Chatty Kelly showed me my son's facebook page. Holy Canoli! Who is this child! Obviously someone has stolen his identity. Who are these people he has as "friends"? I've never heard of them. And since when did my little angel learn some of those descriptive words he's using????

FACEBOOK- A friend of mine is a school principal. He says he occasionally goes on Facebook just to check out some of the students in his school. It gives him an idea of the REAL child behind the sweet smile and the Eddie Haskell demeanor.

FACEBOOK- If you have kids, you need a Facebook account. I'm going to go work on one now. I'm not quite ready to actually USE one yet and I won't be updating it YET. BUT, it's time I see what's going on in the real world. Well, not the whole world, but at least what's going on under my own roof.

I'm not sure if my angel still reads my blog so I don't know if he'll know I'm out there. If he does, that's ok......if he doesn't......that's ok too. Either way, He's gonna have some "splainin" to do!

FACEBOOK- "The times they are a changin".....whether I like it or not.

FACEBOOK- This mom's going to be on Facebook.

FACEBOOK-That's my special guest today, so...

Put on your ears
Like good Mousekateers.
Cause Tuesday is Guest Star (and today it's also Facebook) DAY!!

(a line or 2 of this clip pushes my PG-13 rating, but most of it is a great reminder to get out there and see what's going on.)

Today Is Tuesday. You Know What That Means









Today is Tuesday.
You know what that means....
or do you?

It has been a long time.
Perhaps you have forgotten what Tuesday means.
Perhaps you think that Tuesday simply means it is the day after Monday.
Perhaps you think Tuesday means is is the day before Wednesday,
Perhaps Tuesday is laundry day, errand day, cleaning, shopping, or playing day.
Perhaps you think Tuesday is just another day of the week.
OR
Perhaps....JUST PERHAPS,
You actually DO know what Tuesday Means.

Perhaps you woke up this morning and smiled with delight because you couldn't help think that....

Today is Tuesday.
You know what that means.
We're gonna have a special guest!
SO put on your ears.
Like good Mouseketeers
Cause .......
TUESDAY IS GUEST STAR DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This surgery that I am recovering from has taken its toll on me. There have been times I have regretted doing it. I have felt completely helpless/hopeless. I have been angry, anxious, afraid, in pain, frustrated, childish, depressed, bored, impatient and so many other things.

God taught me a new word through all of this. It is PATIENCE. It is not a word I have been familiar with and quite honestly, it is not a word I am crazy about. Patience, Patience, Patience. Say it aloud a few times and see how ridiculous it sounds. well, to me anyway. "Ah, the Lord works in mysterious ways". Yeah, Yeah, I know.

You see, I am beginning to feel better now, (Thank you God). But this is where that ridiculous word comes in. I feel like I can do so much more but if I do the things I want to do (you know, hard things like bending over and picking a pencil up off of the floor), I could do severe damage and end up in the hospital again. PATIENCE. I am SO ready to remove this turtle shell and run a marathon (ok, I never did that before but who knows), or even curl up on the sofa. PATIENCE.

The bottom line is, that if I remember this word, PATIENCE, and abide by the rules (which takes PATIENCE) I have a strong feeling that I am going to be a new woman. Although I am in pain, I think it is surgery/incision pain. I think the original pain is gone. That's right, you heard me...gone. Sure there will be achy days but at 46 years old, that is bound to happen anyway.

So I need your prayers now. For PATIENCE (a ridiculous sounding word), but necessary, none-the less.

I AM going to be the woman I am supposed to be. I have been in pain for close to 20 years. I am not getting my hopes up too high. I know there will be good and bad days. But I also know that I am going to be so much better.

Patience.
Patience.

You see,
I am Strong!
I am Invincible!

Well, I think Helen Reddy can tell you better than I can.

So welcome Helen Reddy as today's Special Guest.

Today Is Tuesday. You Know What That Means

Today is Tuesday.
You know what that means.
We're gonna have a special guest!

It seems that lately I am just not getting around to writing posts. When I do sit down to write, I think about all of my blog friends and the fact that I don't visit you all like I used to. Then I end up hopping around and trying to catch up on your blogs and then the next thing you know, it's Tuesday again and I haven't posted all week.

I have decided that I am going to catch up on reading all of your posts, and stop, TEMPORARILY, writing my own. I'll still be around, reading posts, leaving comments, and checking here in case anyone has a message for me. I just won't be posting for a while.

Also, I'll be having a minor surgery on my foot this Thursday and after that I have decided to go ahead and have the surgery that is needed for my back. It is a pretty drastic move but my back is only getting worse and it is at a point that when I get up in the mornings, it takes a few hours before I can hardly move or stand up straight. After a few hours and a few Vicoden, I can get around a bit and take care of the things I need to do. Then, I end up staying up WAY too late because I dread going to bed and knowing that when I wake up the cycle will start all over again. Even in the afternoons and evenings it hurts. Just not so bad that I can't function.

I actually have an appointment with the doctor today to get the ball rolling. But again, I need to get through the smaller surgery, this Thursday, first. I'll post and let you know what's up, so don't take me off of your blog roll.

Oh, and you can't get rid of me that easily. There is no doubt that I will be back writing my deep, intellectual, and inspiring posts before too long. I'll be stopping by your posts more now so that I can get caught up with you all.

So join me now with the Von Trapp Family Children, The Mickey Mouse Club and a special quick message from Arnold.....

Today is Tuesday. You Know What That means!!












Today is Tuesday.
You know what that means.
We're gonna have a Special Guest!!

So put on your ears,
Like Good Mousekateers,
Cause Tuesday is Guest Star Day!!

Comedy from the 1970's and today has changed drastically.

If my Special Guest was an unknown and went on stage today to do his song, I can only wonder how an audience would respond.

I think Steve Martin is hilarious. I have always loved his off-beat comedy. But he isn't just a comedian. He is also an accomplished actor, author, musician, producer and composer. He has won EMMY, Grammy, and American Comedy Awards.

SO, without further ado.....AND because it is already 3:45PM on Tuesday and I haven't posted yet.....I give you Steve Martin!!! Cause Tuesday is Guest Star Day!!!!

Today Is Tuesday. You Know What That Means

Today is Tuesday.
You know what that means.
We're gonna have a SPECIAL GUEST!!!

Do you ever get that feeling like you are just losing your mind?
Oh come on. I may get it a lot more often than you do, but we all get it at one time or another.

Although today's special guest feels more than a little bit crazy because of a relationship gone bad, there are also many, many other reasons to feel like if we just don't pull it together then, well, they just might be....COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY!! HAHA!!

Just in Case You Forgot....Today is Tuesday. You Know What That Means!

Hi there! My name is MyADHDMe. Many of you may remember me. I used to write a blog quite regularly. I also used to go and visit other people's blogs. I enjoyed writing, reading and chatting with all the friends I had met through this blogging adventure. Unfortunately, I got into a slump and seemed to never get into the "groove" to even mess with it. At one time the writing came fast and easy but I had gotten into a rut and even when I did sit down to write, the words didn't want to come.

Luckily, due to today being Tuesday (and you know what THAT means), AND knowing how difficult it would be for many to get going on their day without a special guest, I am drawn back to my computer.

SO, today I am drawn back to my computer to re-introduce myself to the thousands of you that are on the edge of your seats every Tuesday, anxiously awaiting to see who will be visiting.

Perhaps, just perhaps, there will even be a new post here again BEFORE next Tuesday. Perhaps, just perhaps, I will go back and visit some of the great people I have met and catch up on their blogs. And perhaps, just perhaps, I will get back into the swing of things!!

On the other hand, it IS Spring break so perhaps, just perhaps, I will go back to bed and catch another hour (or so) of sleep.Who know? But I do know this...and so do you...

Today is Tuesday.
You know what that means (see, I told you that you did).
We're gonna have a special guest!!!

So put on your ears
Like good Mousekateers.
Cause Tuesday is Guest Star DAY!!!!!!!!!

Some time ago a young musician began a "year long saga" trying to get United Airlines to repair his guitar that their baggage handlers damaged. After receiving "complete indifference" and being told "I'm sorry sir your claim can go nowhere", he informed United that he was going to write 3 songs about his ordeal and post them on You Tube. It became an overnight sensation and had MILLIONS of hits after the first day! He was even featured on CNN.

You may remember that I was lucky enough to have him visit as my Tuesday Special Guest for his first 2 songs. His first song was a wonderful catchy tune that I still catch myself singing at times. His second song was good but kind of left me with a feeling that 3 songs was going to be too many....kind of like "enough already". But he had told them he was going to do 3 songs and he did. His 3rd song is another fun one and a great wrap up to the entire ordeal He also thanks United , as his career skyrocketed because of them and his United Airlines fiasco.

Today, he is back with his 3rd and final installment of his United Airlines ordeal. After I post the 3rd song, I'm going to post the first 2 songs also...just in case you don't remember. Their songs are fun and catchy and I know I'll be humming them all day.

I'm sure that Dave Carroll and his band, Sons of Maxwell, have decided that although "They've heard all their excuses and they've chased their wild gooses" and "I'm sorry sir, your claim can go nowhere.", United may Break Guitars.....but.....United DEFINITELY helps jump start music careers!!

One comment on the YouTube song made me laugh. Someone said they should change the name of the song from "United Breaks Guitars" to "Guitars Break United".

MAYBE United Airlines learned that a little bit of customer service can go a long way, (and not to mention save big headaches down the road)! Well, maybe they did....

SO, (whew) without further ado....

Introducing (again) The Sons of Maxwell singing the final song of their United Beaks Guitars Trilogy, "UNITED WE STAND......On The Right Side of Right".

"Why?" you ask.......

Today Is Tuesday. You Know What That Means...

Today is Tuesday.
You know what that means.
We're gonna have a Special Guest!!!!

I had my back injections last week but they don't seem to be kicking in as quickly as I expected. I haven't given up hope yet. I'm not getting around too well so for today's special guest I am going to FLY. I just ran this clip back in September but it makes me feel good, SO......5...4...3...2...1........

Cause Tuesday is Guest Star DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Before I introduce today's special guest, let me tell you something. 100 feet looks a LOT farther when you are 100 feet in the air and looking down, than when you are looking at it straight on.

Thanks to Chatty Kelly's computer finesse, I am able to show today's video clip.

Not surprisingly, when I made up my mind that I wanted to go Bungee Jumping, it was bound to happen. I climbed and climbed and climbed the multiple ladders/stairs until I got to the top. I had every intention of diving off. I couldn't wait!

You know, your body has this thing called self preservation. God probably put it there especially for people like me. Anyway, as badly as I wanted to dive off, my body simply would not let me. Even jumping was harder than I expected. Although my brain was saying JUMP, my entire body was saying, "Hey Stupid! Get away from the edge!". (or should that be the other way around?)

ANYWAY, It was time to (in the words of NIKE) "Just Do It!".

And I did! Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I would have been SO cool.....except for some reason, without even realizing it, I held my nose as if I were jumping into the ocean or something....what a nerd. lol.

(that big yellow tube is something you have to hold onto when you jump. You hold it a different way for diving which is why I was switching back and forth.

SO, the first video clip is a little bit longer, it shows me hemming and hawing and trying to make myself jump. The second clip is if you just want to see the actual jump.

It doesn't feel like this was very long ago, but when you see the camera flash over to the man and 2 kids watching, those 2 little boys are now 13 and 18!

Here Goes! Heads Up!!!!!!!!!
