Kasey's Rambles

Labor Day Weekend is starting out to be “just what the Dr ordered.” September 4th holds a special day in my family’s hearts 💕. It is our late Pop Pops birthday!! My husband’s pop pop who passed just this year. The man meant the world to our family. He was all around just an amazing man, so today was spent as a Family remembering Pop Pop and just enjoying being together. Bonding, laughing, some tears were shed, but all in all we had an amazing start to this 2day break. ( I say 2day as I didn’t have a 4 day weekend like most lol. Just a 2 day)

Now to talk a little bit more about the title, since I got a little side tracked. Figures. Haha. “To be young Again” is what popped into my head tonight as I sat down getting ready to write this blog. Today was filled with outside activities only; getting dirty, catching frogs and fish, swimming, grilling, riding bikes and scooters etc. There weren’t any TV’s on in the background. Just Music playing, naturally 😎🤘🎶 We all were outside enjoying each other’s company and enjoying mother nature herself. I got to swim in the pool with one of my son’s little buddies, who is much younger than my kiddo now. To watch this little boy swim in the pool with me and laugh and giggle, for hours, without a care in the world, is what I love to see. Unfortunately, I don’t see enough of it these days. I am guilty myself of allowing “Screen Time” too much to my kiddo, but some days are easier than others. Sometimes the “SCREEN” wins. It makes a stressful situation so much easier. Does not mean that I like it. Not even a little bit.

We didn’t have all that crap when I was my son’s age. I didn’t get my first cell phone, Flip phone mind you, till I was 17. I didn’t have a tablet, a Nintendo switch, an Xbox. None of that. We played in the mud. We were outside until the sun went down. Or until our parents yelled at us to come in and eat dinner. Times have changed. My oh my have they changed!

That is a whole other topic. Times have changed, and a good amount at that. But to be young again. To be able to watch my son and his buddies play all day long,literally we didn’t leave until it got dark out, that’s what it’s all about. I just want my kid to live a semi normal life. Not full of YouTube all the time or video games and TV. I want him to actually be a “Kid” for as long as he can be. Obviously as a Mother I never want my babies to grow up, especially my baby boy, since he’s the last baby I have. The girls are grown well 1 1/2 of them haha. Oooo I’ll get some feed back on that little comment I’m sure 😃 from our middle child 🤣 love ya kiddo. Anywho I know I am rambling now.

Totally off topic, but tonight I decided to sit in my living room with all my cozy lights on and write. Well, ladies and gents, I found my area!!! My little “nook” if you will. It’s perfect. I have a Moon lamp right next to me, (from my bestie aka my Mother 😎) and with brand new batteries and the light on my phone, it’s perfect. Just enough light to sit and focus on whatever I want to “Ramble” about. My home is cozy as is (if I do say so myself), but this little corner, well I’ve sat here many times and never appreciated it so much. Now I Love it and I shall Name it “Moms Writing Nook*. Soo excited right now!! It truly is the little things that make bigger things so much better, if that makes any sense. Lol.

Please excuse me. It was super hot out all day and I have been playing with little minions on and off all day long. This mama is pooped. It was so awesome to be off today and be able to be there all day long. My schedule is so hectic, some times when there are family events going I’ll be able to go but not for the whole day. Well not today, today was perfect. Just what our Family needed too!!

So now I’m off to snuggle with our puppy and watch a show with the hubs. I probably won’t make it past the opening song of whatever show we pick as my eyes are getting heavy as we speak, well as “I” write haha. See my jokes are extra corny, and of course I’m “Rambling.” All signs of an exhausted mama. So I hope you all are enjoying this Labor Day weekend. Stay Safe!!! And Get outside if you can!!! It’s good for the Soul!!! 😎🤘🤗🤍🌄☑️😁🇺🇲

Till next time…
