Go-Go Boots

The other day I started typing a blog on Family Dynamics and I never posted it because like every parent who I am sure tries to blog with kids around I got side tracked! lol

So I decided to try and blog it again....

I was snuggled in bed the other day when I began thinking about Family Dynamics and what makes a family a family...I mean yeah society says a mom and a dad start the process but I am talking deeper than that...I mean think about it, not all families have both parents living in the home, so does that mean those people aren't a family? I know I have heard of disfunctional families, but I am not refering to that...I am talking about what makes a family a family? In today's society there are single parent homes called families, then there are grandparents raising grandchildren and they are called families...And I know of some folks who live what society calls an alternative lifestyle and have children and they are called families...so again I will ask what makes these groups of people families?

Is it the love they hold inside for each other? Is it that they share the same DNA? Is it that they live in the same house? Can claim each other on taxes (well the adult that is can claim the kids)? Or does it go deeper than that? Just something to think about when you see or are around those you call family. There was more thought on this topic but between Friday night and today it was lost somewhere in sleep land! lol

So Saturday I went to lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in over 8 years and it was a great time...We had a great time chatting and catching up....So much that we have missed in each other's lives that we decided to start hanging out more regularly....She lives only 45 minutes from me and well the drive isn't bad so no excuses! lol

Okay so on to a new topic one that was brought up several times this weekend with several different folks in my circle of life.....The Ten Commandments...but before you stop reading here cuz you think it may become a religious blog keep reading...cuz the conversations didnt go that way...lol It started with something on tv I saw and it sparked the thought wow they just committed like 8 of the 10 commandments, which then got me thinking how many have I violated? So I asked my roommate the question..." how many of the 10 commandments have you broken?" we started trying to count....lol and we decided to stop since we don't live under the old law....and Mercy and Grace along with the death of Christ and the shedding of his blood have allowed us to live in the new testimanent! So we laughed and laughed..then the other night last night to be exact the topic came up again with a male friend and we again decided to again stop trying to figure it out because while they are good things to live by, they aren't needed today! Now that doesn't mean I will go out and murder, all though I wanted to this weekend, lol just kidding. Murder isn't something that I am fond of hence why I don't even like the shows like csi or law and order anymore...
It is cold, I opened the blinds today and was greeted with the sight of a rainy day...yuck oh well could be worse could of been snow!
Well I think I have ran out of random topics now that Barney has invaded the tv and is dancing and singing around causing me to become distracted! lol
