Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll

 Oh wow. How life passes by so quickly. In just a blink of an eye kids grow. I found an old archive photo C.D. with pictures of my kids. I spent a good day going through the photos and just being in awe. How much I have changed, my husband, where we have lived, how we lived, mostly though, I was in awe over my kids.

 At one point in time they KISSED each other!!! Loved each other, and would even pose and let me dress them up!!! That is no more! HA! Even my best friends kids I seen pictures of and its just like WOW. Its only been a few short years, and yet the kids used to be BABIES and now they are teens, tweens, in school, snotty and all that. No more babies.


 I found out that my friends daughter, is now doing "grown up" things. Its her life, she's 16 (going on 24 right) and she thinks she knows it all, I remember being there, and I remember getting pregnant and not finishing school too. I knew the risks involved, I took the risks. It was my problem and although things were rough, I think I did a good job. I am not saying my friends daughter couldn't but I look at her just as I look at my own kids and I see a baby. I do not see a child that could put someone elses needs in front of her own for sure. I see a self involved teen that wants to spend 20.00 on make up and 40 on a pair of jeans. I wish I could somehow give her the wisdom we all lack at that age. Sex is not that great, especially not when your worried about if he's going to dump you, if your doing it right, if you might get pregnant ect. ect. ect. Its much funner when your married, allowed and know he's stuck with ya ;o)

 So when I am having a "Text" Conversation with my teen about this, she tells me she does not give in to peer pressure, and then lets me know she's been asked to smoke, do drugs and have sex, and declined each offer. Now don't get me wrong I am VERY pleased she has turned the offers down, but just knowing she's been OFFERED??? Makes me want to shit myself, and then grab her and never let her out of the house again. Did I say I would never homeschool??? I might change my mind on that one.

 SO I have to say I think, so far, I have raised a pretty great kid. Pretty great kids. Sure they try to kill each other, tell me they hate me, make big messes and talk back and turn into snots half the time... but they are good kids. I love them and I am lucky to have them. Sometimes I forget what life might be like and how dull it would be without them.

 Where does rock and roll come in on this blog? It doesn't. It just made for a catchy title.

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

The Lady In Red

  T he Frisco festival was this weekend. Fun times. Free rides, well this year half the rides were free. A band playing live and just fun all around. We always go of course, any time anything is free, were there!  Since we are not cool Destiny went with some friends and not us. Bailey was staying the night with a buddy so the 2 girls that were home, I told could bring a friend... Fun times.  At one point they were waiting in line for a slide/funhouse ride, after a certain point of waiting in line they were finally up to the part with the sign: At the bottom the sign says "If you are in the red sorry you cannot ride the ride"  Hannah is standing there, and she is looking quite concerned after a while... She looks at me and she says "mama, Lauren cannot ride this ride." then she points to the sign.  Oh yes, Lauren is VERY MUCH so over the green line... Heck Lauren is taller than Hannah so I am thinking what is your deal girl??!  Hannah then looks ...
