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!

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 ...
