My Life/ What women really want/ My Life

That universal age old question What do women really want? If only we came with a owners manual before our husbands married us. Telling them what kind of things make us tick, please us, and make us happy. My owners manual would state: I want a man that is honest, hardworking, loving, responsible, dependable and a man of his word. If you cannot provide this for me then look for someone else. If you can provide this for me you will inturn receive the following: Someone to love you always, when you are well, when you are sick. I will be there. If you loose your job, your dog or whatever I will be there. I will be the best wife and mother to your children that I can possibly be. If only relationships were that simple right? So what do women really want? For me it is just to be loved and to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. I want someone to understand my feelings and put them first. Someone to be there on my bad days. I believe this is what most women want.

My Life/ Florida Tornado/ My Life

I still can't believe that Florida had such a terrible tornado rip through the central part of the state. The devestation it caused is unbelievable. The scarey part is that it happened during the night when people were asleep, so they had no warning. What a terrible thing to wake up to. It could'nt have happened at a more stranger time, with all the talk about Global Warming. Living in Michigan tornado's are not something we really have to worry about to often. Lately over the last few years, we have been having some pretty powerful storms ripping through here. Hmm, makes me wonder if it is all tied to this whole Global Warming issue. Pretty scarey if it is.

My Life/ Caution at the Gas Pump/ My Life

The gas station explosion in West Virginia has really got me thinking about safety at gas stations. When I get gas I think nothing of getting out putting the nozzle in the tank and jumping back into my car with my kids. I did not realize how dangerous this could be. When you get out to pump your gas you should touch your door or the roof of your car before touching the gas pump. This will get rid of any of the static electricity that you may have. Static electricity can ignite gasoline vapors and trigger a fire. Stay outside when you are refuelling. Never get back in your car for anything, any contact with the cars interior carpet can give you static electricity. I also learned that 78% of these these fires happen to women, because we are more likely to get back in the car, especially in the winter months. Another thing if you have paseengers in your car when you are pumping your gas, you should have them remove their seat belts, so in case there is a fire they can escape easier. I always have my children with me and I never unbuckle them, my 2 year old is still in a car seat. I never ever thought about any of these things. The guilt I feel right now, I can't explain. I don't think I will ever even bring them with me to pump gas again.
