So Whats up with my oddly normal life?

 Huh huh? Cus it seems that I am never ever updating my blog these days. I am such a sloth!

 Things happen and I think how I should blog about them and then I figure they are not really so interesting if you were not here. Then I remember I blog for me, not really for someone else. I want to be able to remember things, to come back and go oh yeah... Those were the days. Or whatever. I can't do that if I don't blog it.

 I am going to try to be more regular with the blogs again, even if its what I made for dinner, and  how my husband kept me up snoring. If it doesn't interest you, you don't have to read it right!? :)

 So whats been going on? the kids are growing. I got contacts, I am not sure how I feel about them just yet. Sometimes they are great, and sometimes I feel like I have an eye full of hair. Sometimes I can see great with them in, and other times everything is blurrier than when I had  them out. Meanwhile I wear my scratched up glasses while I wait for the pair I just ordered online (and hope I like) to come in.

 The kids just went to the last day of school for a week. Spring break. Woot? Yeah woot for them. Boo for me. I have a giant bruise on my arm from where my son pulled a chair out from behind me as I went to sit down...  He also recently tied a poney holder around the spray nozzle on the sink so when I turned the sink on, water sprayed me. I reminded him I am the cooker of his meals.

 Tim recently took on a second part time job, and I have been working more hours at my job. So far things are not really less tight though. I am currently working on paying off our debt to his parents, and a credit card bill... Then I will be saving for a vacation or something hopefully. Hopefully. We need one!

 Life as I know it is pretty much the way it always is. My kids love me one moment, and hate me the next. I am an awesome mom, and then I am the meanest person on the planet. Its the ups and downs of parenthood. I am getting used to it. I am also growing grey hairs, as my son thinks jumping off the roof onto the trampoline is a good idea, and not wearing green on St. pattys day so "all the cute girls will pinch him" is also causing a few stray greys. My daughter dumped her 50th boyfriend, I am okay with that, I'd rather her not have one.

 I get more and more afraid the closer she gets to the age 15. Happening in just over 2 months. I can remember being fifteen, and I know the things I did, and I had always been a good girl. Of course looking back now I think part of my issues came with having a rough home life, and wanting out somehow. I would never go back and change the choices I have made, because I love where my life is now... But I do wish more, so much more for my own daughter, who is nearly fifteen.

 What can I do besides sit back, be there, try to keep my eyes open and the blinders off, and pray. Pray a lot! So there is my boring blog of the day. I hope to have something interesting happen tomorrow!

  1. I've been waiting weeks for this blog woman. They may be for you, but they are for me to, in my opinion. I've posted on your wall a few times calling you a slacker. You best keep up on it. :p

  2. I enjoy reading your blogs!! (when I remember to check) They make me realize the trouble I am in as my kids get older lol. You did have a rougher life as a kid but yes most of the time you were a good girl! I miss those days of being young and not realizing how much growing up we still had to do. Even as I get older I can look back 5 years and see how much I have grown.

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 ...

Done Growing

 Well soon enough it will be the start of a new school year. Sooner for my younger two, than for my older two. So today we went to get a few things that will be needed. Some shoes, socks and backpacks. Mommy needed a new pair of shoes too, I wear mine out pretty quickly being on my feet as a waitress.  So my son is about the pickiest shoe person out there. Nothing fits. We have to try on like every.single.shoe. in his size before he can choose. Its irritating and stressful. Hannah was pretty easy although she did not take the cheaper "on sale" pair I liked best. Either way she was quick and painless.  So then mom's turn. I put on a pair of 6.5 I wear those or 7's depending on the shoe. I wanted to try those new shoes with the curved bottom. Anyway... I get the 6.5 on and Hannah feels for my toes. "Oh you better get a size bigger" She says. "Those wont last the whole school year!" I told her I did not have to worry about outgrowing my shoes. My ...
