Fontana California Auto Club Speedway








As the kids and I watched the second Nascar Race of the season we were all glued to the TV in hopes of a glimpse of our missed Husband and father. Holding to this hope is one of the few ways we are able to feed our hunger for the companionship of him. With mixed feeings we are positive on one emotion and that is the utter graitude of blessings. The world today is in a constant downward spiral including the economy and work force and while we throughly miss our beloved Jeremy, as a family we bond together in knowing that we are fortunate for him to employed. That being said, Sundays Race at the Auto Club Speedway was accompined by some really cool events. Jeremy was able to hang out with some of my personal favoirte TV Starts including one from Heros and one from House.

Back at home in Denver, Nc the Pooler family is experiencing complete emotional withdrawl with the absence of a major piece of our puzzle, Jeremy in an innocent effort to band aid his emotional wound and withdrawl threw caution to the wind while mixing and mingling with some really cool people!
Now he's off to Vegas.....he leads such a boring sad life...how in world will he make it through the next week away from us?????

Things aren't always what they seem....

As Today began a Peaceful Sunday afternoon, Jc and Devlyn shooting some hoops together, Ashelyn quietly deciding to sit down and read some of her books. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to leasurely browse the Internet with no goal or reason, I pull up a seat and lose myself in invalid mind numbing searches. Glancing back to check on Ashelyn I see her brilliantly playing perfectly content with her dolls. Peaking out the window I embrace a uncommon scene as the boys play together with the absence of violence and revenge. Smiling on the inside and out I return to my effortless addiction on Facebook. After a time it occurred to me that my very active, needy and as of late extremely loud, screaming drama queen 2 year old daughter has been quite for a suspiciously long amount of time. As I spin around in the ever so comfortable black leather computer chair my serene and tranquil moment comes to a screeching halt as I see............

So far 2009




Its been a while since I have posted on the blog. With finding Facebook I have been preoccupied playing over there and neglectfully not paying enough attention to my original blog!... Bad blogger I know!!
Tons have been going on, school, puberty, terrible twos, Winter and now a New President. History was made yesterday and yet again I was able to witness history in the making sitting in front of my flat screen and enjoy it HD style! My Granny on my mothers side who is still living strong at 98 years old was in amazement. She still recalls the days of segregation in its prime and now she is governed by an African American. Yes, that part is really awesome. I question the Character and excessive Liberal thought behind the man but am ready for him to show me what he's got!
Jeremy has been home straight since December and the kids has LOVED having him here on such a more constant basis. The season starts back up in Febuary so he will be gone ALOT again coming up soon. BLAH!
In complience with the guidence of our Church leaders we have been working on Emergency Preparedness in our home. "If ye are prepared ye shall not fear." It is alwasy a good idea to prepare for the unknown so to be in a position to survive and care for your family. "The Church and its members are commanded by the Lord to be self-reliant and independent." Having a supply of essential foods, clothing, fuel, and water will help us during times of personal and natural disasters. We must be prepared for calamities that may come our way. Having what we need and knowing what to do in the event of an emergency or other calamity can bring us peace and help us overcome fear. In such tumultuous times with wars and rumors of war it is not only wise to be prepared but almost a necessity. We as a family now have our 72 Hour Kits updated, complete and readily accessible with the exception of water. I haven't figured out how store that much water for a grab and run. We have our Car Emergency Kit in place. We have started our year supply of Food Storage and are preparing to take some CPR, First Aid and Emergency Preparedness classes. I already feel a small amount of peace washing over our home.
