Texting and Driving.. Deadly?

Texting and driving. Do you do it? I have caught myself at a red light doing it. However, I would not go 70 mph on I90 and do it. It amazes me. The other day I was on my way to school and saw this girl, mid 20s. Driving down I90, using her knees, putting eye makeup on, talking on the phone, playing with the radio AND was speeding. I caught up to her had her roll her window down and gave her an earful. It amazes me how people are in that much of a hurry to do all that at once and not realize they could injure someone else.
When I got to school and chatted with my friends, I then asked them how many of them text and drive. They all said they do. I then asked them, would you with your kids in the car, they replied no. Well my response was. Well I'm driving with my kids, your texting and driving and hit my car. You have just put me, my kids, and you all in danger. What would your kids say?
They were all speechless. Cause it is true. People are so quick to jump someone else when they do the same thing!

SPRING BREAK!!

Finally, spring break! It is so nice to be able to kick back for a week and relax. I did get a lot of deep cleaning done in my house, tons of riding done, and of course working. I did get to spend every night with my son and husband. Who couldn't ask for a better break? It was nice to not have to worry about school for a little while.
I normally would have spent my Tuesday and Thursday in class from 8-12 then class at 1. But now that my 8-12 class is over, I get that whole morning to my self! I think I hear angels singing? I get to sleep in a little, then give my son breakfast, and take him to daycare since I have a contract I have to pay either way, so why not have a little Lori time. I was working out on Thursday and started to think to myself, I feel like I am from Jersery shore. I have been going to the gym, tanning then coming home to laundry and my other things I do. I then go out, put clothes on the line. Head out to the pasture and pull my all time favorite mare, Corona. Spend a little time on barrels. Then pull Ella out and do the same. Then come in, shower and head to school. If the weather is bad, I do my homework rather than do it at night after my son goes to sleep.
What can I say, its rough. Ha :)

~Family~

What makes a "functional" family? I have often thought about how functional, sometimes dysfunctional, my family was when I was growing up and how that will affect my new family that I have started. Growing up, my family was not all together. My dad traveled Monday thru Friday selling farm equpiment, my mom worked at a regular 7-3 job Monday thru Friday. My siblings are much older than me. My brother is 18 years older than me and my sister is 15 years older than me. Having siblings that much older than me made me feel like an only child. It was as though I had 2 sets of parents, not a set of siblings and a seperate set of parents. For me, that made for a dysfunctional family at times. Families can have moments of dysfunction, but that does not label that family as "dysfunctional".
Having my family that spread out, makes me wonder how my new family will turn out. So far it has been a dream! Not to brag, but my son is sent from Heaven. He sleeps all night, is never crabby and is always smiling, and is the best eater I have ever seen. My husband tries his hardest to give us everything, which is just like my dad did when I was growing up. I do the best I can for my husband when he gets home. I make sure supper is on the table and the house is picked up just as my mom did. I feel that when you move out and get married, you act just like your own parents did. I took the role like my mother and did everything she did and still does, while Taylor(My husband) cares for us like my dad did.
