Changing my name to Dad....

 I swear. MOM... MOM... MOM... MO-OM. WHY is it always mom? I know when I am old and the kids are gone, that my blogs will all talk about how lonely I am and how much I miss the pitter patter, and the mom's I used to hear... I know this but it does not change the fact that today I have been "mommed" to death.

 So I am changing my name to dad. Dad does not get asked to bring in toilet paper, rinse shampooed hair, find the lost earring, whats for dinner, bring a towel, dad gets to sit and not get called for any of that. Its unfair and so I want to be called dad, from this point forward.

 My Promise Michelle had her Birthday party this weekend. She is now 12. "One more year and I will be a teenager" she reminded me. She already acts like one, so... I am not so afraid, I know what I am about to deal with I suppose...

 So twelve. A sleepover party. Two girls, plus the other girls each had a friend over. That makes for 8 children in my house, ALL WEEKEND. ALL calling MOM. Oh yes but back to the turning twelve. I cannot believe she has made it this far!

 Promise is her own person. She is strong willed and she is stubborn. She can hold a grudge for as long as humanly possible if she wants to. If she is mad at someone, she is mad at the world. My mother says that Promise and I are very alike, and that is why we clash. Maybe she is right.

 Promise is also a very smart, super intelligent young lady. She can carry on a conversation, write the most detailed story, and drive you crazy with questioning everything.

 Promise I am going to assume will be a lawyer when she grows up. She can argue and argue. She can go from knowing it all, to blond in .6 seconds. She is a super cool person and I cannot wait to see what she does with her life. I expect wonderful things from her, she is creative, caring, loving, sensitive and so smart. I love that girl and I cannot believe its been twelve years since she came into this world, stubborn even that day, breech and nearly a month over due. I should have known what I was in for then!

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...

I always blog that I'm going to blog

and then never blog agian until I blog saying how I'm going to blog agian! sounds about right. life is busy. me time has not been happening. gym nope. photography nope. it's not that I dont have time, because I do. I just don't make the time. I need to. so few weeks ago. got strep throat antibiotics and BAM my skin/joint issues flared up. bad. I'm stiff sore dry and ugly. so I'm going to try to be gluten free. I love bread guys and pasta. I have to get thos crap under control though and some research suggests it helps and it certainly IS NOT going to hurt me so here goes.

 Why is it when you do something wrong, people will point it out, over and over and notice every detail, but the things that you do right... They go unnoticed for ages?  Training at work this week has been tiring. I have been super busy so its hard to actually train someone... I have to get my tables taken care of. I have the kids just getting into the swing of things with school, and training myself to go to bed early has proven unsuccessful. I basically feel over worked and under slept. As I mentioned on facebook I think there are plenty of hours in the day... I need more hours at night, to work with....  Kids are all adjusting well to school life again. Still going to sleep easily at night, which I know wont last so I am enjoying it while I can. I cannot believe I have a child who is a sophomore this year. I am still not believing that actually.  Tomorrow is super busy, we have Dr visits, I have blood work done, Girl scout meeting to attend and then a split ...
