Whats in a name?

Ok...my brain hurts.  Ive been trying to get a blog for my new business venture...the photography side of it.  I dont know what to name it.  I was thinking of naming it "The Red Umbrella" Photography...maybe Under the Red Umbrella? Then I thought of Red Parasole Photography (Parasole is french for umbrella).  I dont know...I have these thing with umbrella! LOL but Im thinking of something that is meaningfull, something that sounds intriguing, something that conveys that captured moments of the passing times.  So I have creators block right now.  I dont know...what do you think of my first idea...Red Umbrella Photography? *sigh* oh well...back to the thinking block!

I was thinking...

I wanted to go to blogspot because it is free...but I really like the way my little typepad thingy is here...so I think I will stay.  I dont know maybe I will got to blog spot but I think I will do it for my photography side of my buisness.  I will post the link when I have time to get it up and going! Ok so now I have to go pick up my girls from school. Off I go!

Slowing down

You know, whatever grand being that runs us, has a way at slowing us down to appreciate what we have and to smell the roses.  Yes, GOD, made me slow down and smell the roses last night.  I was such in a hurry to clean up, clean the dinning table, so we could hurry up and eat and so i could hurry up and clean up, wash dishes, and get back to work.  I was such in a hurry that as I was taking a bowl to the counter from the dinning table, my shoe caught the leg of my sweat pant and down I was going.  So I somehow managed to drop the bowl without breaking it, but the bottom of my body twisted one way, the top part of my body (my torso) twisted the other way and POP WENT MY BACK!  So guess what...I'm sitting down on my bed typing away while one of my husbands workers who just happened to stop by and return some equipment is playing one of our guitars.  So my husband and I had a nice day together.  We stayed here at home.  We talked, he did some work on the computer, Martin is that type of person who gets antsy if he is not doing something.  It worked out.  I hope I'm not down to long...as much as I like just sitting around talking to my girls and DH...this house needs to be taken care of, not to mention the girls need to get to their practices.  Still...its amazing that while I'm sitting here I feel nothing, but I move, cough and sneeze...well lets just say that there are many many stars that I see.  Well, its not THAT bad, but its bad.  OK Ill stop rambling, but I just wanted to say...stop and smell the roses, or else GOD will make you stop...and not in such a nice way...but you get his point.

Sinking low!

I never really worried about my identity being stolen.  Hey they take one look at my score and they probrably toss my information out the door!  I dont have good credit so even though that doesnt sound so good financially, I think I dont have to worry.   However today my eyes were opened up by a simple comercial.  Did I say comercial? Yes...a comercail.  Did you know that 500,000 children have their identities stolen?  That beautiful child sleeping in their beds at night so sweet and angelic, someone could have gotten a hold of their information, and are now haveing  a feild day with their name!  HOW LOW HUH?!  To take an inoccent childs name and ruin them before they even start to live life! So that freaked me out, and got me thinking.  My husband once answered the phone and the operator asked to talk to my 4 year old,

Operator:"May I please speak to Jesykah Resendez?" 

Hubby:" No you may not who is this?"

Operator:" This is a personal matter and I can only speak to Jesykah Resendez about this"

Hubby:" Well Im sorry but I am jesykahs father, how can I help you?"

Operator:" Im sorry sir this is a personal matter is jeyskah Home?"

Hubby:"Yes she is, but you may not speak with her"

Operator:" Sir this is a call to collect debt and I need to talk to her"

Hubby:"collect debt???  how can a four year old accumilate debt?"

Operator:"Excuse me sir?"

Hubby:"HOW DOES A FOUR YEAR OLD HAVE DEBT???!!!" (he yellled at her)

Operator:"Jesykah is four years old? Oh, Im sorry sir, this is a debt for a visit to the ER on xxxx. "

So you see the person who admitted Jeyskah at the hospital that one day to the ER, but the bill on her name...A FOUR YEAR OLDS NAME!!! How could they, they had my husband infor, they had my info, but no they messed up and now my daughter OWES the hospital!!!???  Go figure!?  LOL...so yes we paid it but that just showed me that there are idiots out ther and there are people without souls who will do anything to get "free" money even steal a childs identity. Why a child? My guess is because there are very few adults who have prestine credit, who better than a child who has no credit?

So how to prevent it...aahhh that where the commerical comes in.  There is a place where you can enroll your childs information.  Anytime something happens with your childs information they let you know.  I have enrolled, you should enroll.  Here is the link  http://www.familysecure.com/Default.aspx

dont wait...those low life scums are out there.  They can get your childs information at school, when you apply for insurance and so forth.  Be one step ahead.   

Halloween pics!

My goodness...It seems that everytime I think I have sometime for myself SOMETHING ELSE COMES UP!!!  Is that happening to you?  Well I know Im late for this but I have to put up a pic of my girls in their costumes.  To think next week is Thanksgiving !!!

Well back to Halloween for a moment.  So as you can see I was a Witch..or as my daughter Kiki said "a Sexy Witch!" LOL...I put this tatto on my face that wouldnt wash off afterwards!!!  I had to get a buff puff and really scrub and that hurt!  My Oldest was Hanna Montana, EJ was a pirate, Monikah was Jasmine or a belly dancer, and Jesy was herself...a self proclaimed princess.  She was mad at me because I wouldnt dye her hair blond.  I told her I could buy a hair spray that would turn her hair blond for a day and she didnt want it.  We went to the store and she pointed out a hairdye that is for adults!!! I think my four year old has issues!?  Martin was himself...a dirty old worker...as he put it! LOL...he didnt have time to dress up, he had just gotten out of work when we were leaving for t-o-t.  This year we didnt go all out, we didnt give out candies or anthing.  I actually put out a sign that said "NO CANDY THIS YEAR HAPPY HALLOWEEN!"  I did feel bad, but then again not really.  Our neighbors really out did themsleves this year.  One house around the corner actually had a haunted house in their garage!  You had to go in...or you couldnt get your candy.  "No Way!" my two little ones said the minute they saw an upper torso on the floor that looked like it was about to claw its way to you!  Kiki actually froze right there in the middle screaming and crying.  I tried not to laugh but OMG...to me it was cheesy and I couldnt stop laughing at my poor crying daughter.  I picked her up and said if she wanted me to carry her through the maze? SHE LET OUT A SCREAM OF FURRY!!!  She started to kick and scream not to take her in take her out!  Well, I went in after I took her back out the front entrance.  It was cool, they had a mummy, dead of the living thing at the near end and when you get close it bends at the waist and tries to get you...I didnt expect that so yes I did let out a littl girl scream.  It was cool though, I gave that house 2 thumbs up! There was rumors that there was a family in our neighborhood that turned their entire home into a haunted house so you had to go through all their rooms and get out through the back...but we didnt even try to find it.  I wanted to get to my dads house and eat!  He was making meatloaf and his famous gravy! He had a full house and his neighborhood was almost dead.  There was hardly anyone t-o-t.  My husband joked that all the people had gone up to our neighborhood becuase we live in a posh posh neighborhood so we give out the good candies, I just rolled my eyes at him and called him a snob!  LOL, all in all it was a good year..the girls got tons of candy.  It was great.

Now gearing for Thanksgiving.  Im not making the turkey this year...well hubby.  We dont have the room!  Our house is small, well to me it is and we have this dinning room that is meant for a small family.  We have a huge kitchen though! So no...not until we can buy or build our home with a super large dinning area.  The only thing Im baking is the premade pumpkin pies from Shwans! ROTFL..thats as close to home made Im doing this year. Well, Ill try to post more.  Take care and GOD Bless!
