So whats this blog thing?

I used to blog all the time. Not because I had 10000 followers, I am pretty sure I had maybe 2, and one was likely my mom.... I blogged because I liked to have them to look back on and remember things, I blogged because it is kind of a way to just get whatever out and off my chest. I blogged because I enjoyed it.

Lately I feel like I have forgotten myself. Forgotten to take the time out for the things I enjoy. For photography, for blogging for whatever else interests me. What even interests me anymore?

I went to a full time job, which is on a computer so I guess partly I don't want to come home after 8 hours at a desk and type and stare at a screen some more. Both blogging and photos require screen time. Maybe that is part of why I have not been doing it.

My kids are bigger, not so many funny memories with them, two have moved out and 2 wish they could (2.5 more years) but I have grand kids now yes Grand Kids My oldest just had her second little girl, and let me tell you THEY are one of the things I enjoy most in this world and I will and do take time to spend with them every moment I can.

Its amazing how cool grand kids are. Like so cool. They are like your kids but you don't have to tell them no, or have them hate you. You get to tell them YES and spoil them and  when they start to be to rotten to handle you send them home to mama. Its great. Its in fact the best.

At one time I had a blog that I used to post recipes and things, and I had a blog where I was trying to lose weight (still has not happened) I had a blog about life in general. But life in general is ALL those things, its my food and my recipes and now my newest obsession my "instant pot". Its the fact that I want to lose weight but also want to eat candy and french fries (Nacho fries are back at Taco Bell btw)

SO this blog now will be my one and only. Life, weight loss, recipes (some that go with weight loss and some that hinder it completely) It will likely 90% be about my grand kids and the funny things they do, because once again I want something to remind me of them, and this is one place I feel its great to do that.

 I hope to be back, not daily but I am going to aim for weekly. I want to do an image on my camera NOT just my cellphone and a blog and a recipe each week. Not for anyone to read, not for you who might be reading but for myself, for memories and maybe for a legacy of some sort. It will be my me time, and I am looking forward to it!

 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 ...

The pitter patter of little (annoying) feet!

 I remember when my kids were little and innocent and said super cute things. It still happens sometimes, but not nearly as often. They no longer pitter patter, they clomp. Things change, kids grow.  Luckily I still have my little neighbor girl Adriana. She comes over to play with the big kids quite often and is almost always a hoot. From taking her to the "lime berry" to just silly things she says. Tonight was one of those nights.  I have not slept much and wanted a nice relaxing bath... As I am headed in there, Adriana asks me what I am doing... I tell her I am about to take a bath. "can I take one with you?" Uh.... I have  a vision of myself as Micheal Jackson...No baby, you cannot take a bath with me.... So I am in the tub, and after a while Tim came in to bring me towels... So he was in there visiting with me, and Adriana knocked and asked if she could come in... Tim told her no. "Why? Because Clorie is NAKED??? What are YOU doing in there TIM!?" ...

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. I started today but will count my actual start date as 9/1 b: coffee and cream, watermelon and a string cheese l: zucchini cheesey casserole hamburger patty with lettuce other veggies and mustard s: caramello [I said gluten free not healthy] d: subway spicy Italian with provolone, no bread with lots of veggies and mayo also veggie straws happy to find they are gluten free! so say 1 wen...
