The Month of Thanks

 Someone posted on facebook something they were thankful for and then said to do that every day. Make your status something that your thankful for.

 So today. Today went okay. Kids complained about study time. No. Not the kids. Just Destiny, but she complained enough to equal all four doing so. I dealt with it, trying to not be irritated by it. Study time is study time and were going to do just that. Once she gets that, it will go better.

 Well then came tonight. I was on the computer when she told me she had to study for her math quiz. There was something she didn't understand. Well go figure, I did not understand either. So I got online learned how, again, and then helped her! I think she gets it now. Will she remember it tomorrow for the quiz? I hope so. Either way this was an improvement, and it felt good to see. She also showed me a paper she did, that she got a B on and she seemed to be "proud". Im not going to push it though, its not even been a full week of this. Either way improvements are already showing and I feel good about that!

 So what am I thankful for today. Messes. I realized yesterday how good it feels to have a clean house. I dusted and did all that, and I sat back and said this is MY house. It looks good, it feels good and its MINE :) So I want to show that I feel blessed a bit more and feel that happy "clean house" feeling more often.

 Tonight after I got the kids tucked in, I picked up.  Mess. Bread crumbs on the table, butter smeared on the seat. 3 cups of water (knocked over by the cat) The lolipop stick that I SEEN Promise sucking on my couch, that when I ask she will say "It wasn't me!". The mess. What would I do without it? Sure I like a clean house.

 When the kids are gone, and living their own lives... Who will make messes for me to deal with? What will I complain about if not the constant mess? So I realized as I fed the cats, and picked up a dinosaur that growls and a my little pony that nearly became inbedded in the bottom of my foot... I should be thankful for this mess, while I have still got it :)


 "What a beautiful, what a beautiful mess I'm in."


 Sit back and think about what your thankful for. Something you take for granted, something maybe you think you do not feel so thankful for :)

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 L

Sleep IN Sundays!!!

My kids know this rule. For the most part. Sundays Mama sleeps in. Get yourself cereal, be quiet and get along... Then I go and do something foolish, like allow 3 of 4 kids to have a friend over, which makes SEVEN kids in one house. One of which, apparently did NOT know the sleep in Sunday rule, even in the SLIGHTEST :o/ Of course when one kid wakes up, or at least this kid wakes up. ALL the kids are up. This did, help my ease of getting them all in bed this evening, but even so! ACK! The weekend went well. We spent time together at the park. All but Destiny of course, who has her own life now. I took some pictures I really liked. I am too lazy to post them here. If you want to see them you can go here. www.flickr.com/clorissasue Anyway that is all I have for now. I started a new blog, you can see it here . It will be for cooking, and recipes and such. This one will be kept for kids and life and bitching :) Just what I needed. Something more to do :)

Call CPS this must stop now!!!

 My daughter, my oldest, the one I am a taxi for has had a ride to AND FROM several places where she was supposed to catch a ride home from this week. The library, she said she had a ride home, then the ride "left without her". The mall, I told her she'd be picked up by Tim when he got off work, and they were COLD and her friend had FLIP FLOPS on and no one came to the mall so can I get them now... She stayed the night at a friends and instead of waiting for friends mom to bring her home, she HAD to be picked up by 1 so she could go to a friends...  That friends? She was supposed to walk HOME from and she called for a ride.  So today it was lovely out. 65 or so out, sunny. School was out and Tim had to get the other kids first, as he stayed for a play Hannah was in... Well he did not pick up Destiny. I told her she could walk. For 30 min. I am NOT KIDDING 30 MIN. She sent him and I text after text asking to pick her up.  PLEASE I will clean, I cleaned my room, its &qu
