April 2010

Well they do say April showers bring May flowers. April has found me stressed out. I know I wanted to blog about yeah, fun, happy stuff and not bring my "job" into it but I'm sorry I just can't. The whole point of blogging was so that I could have a place to share my feelings and that I could spit out exactly how I was feeling. There are many changes happening at work and a lot has fallen on to me. I usually am one for pitching in and helping out and taking one for the team, but this year I have had a few anxiety attacks and I just am not feeling like I want to "take one for the team". I have been doing mine, my boss' and other peoples since our unit has been cut back 4 people and I'm sorry "just say no" has been my comeback. I have a holiday planned to New Brunswick with my girlfriend and her mom and step-dad May 10-17th I'm so looking forward to seeing the sights, getting a brain regeneration, and just kicking back and letting go of some stresses that have building. My grand daughter is 6 months old (wow) can you believe that. She's my most precious gift a grandmother could ever ask for. My son is working once again so I'm quite pleased as I'm sure he is as well that maybe he can catch up on his bills. My daughter returned to work (with baby) and thus far has been adjusting nicely. Next on the list get that grand daughter sleeping in her own room. Momma is slowly working on it, and she's doing pretty good but I'm sure it's an adjustment for mom as much as baby. My sisters blog has just flabbergasted me. She is such an awesome homeschool mom, the plans and activities that her and my nephews are doing wow - simply amazes me. Keep it up sis. Love reading about your adventures and love it when I can join you on some of them as well. So that is it I think for me this month. Thanks for letting me share and I'll update again at the end of May (all about my vacation).

    That's TOTALLY what a blog is for .... if you can't be real when you write, why write. Yeah fun stuff is well fun and stress is stress. You are right to look to your vacation for some much needed down time - getting away always bring a better prespective as to what you need to do about "stuff". Glad to hear David is working, and sounds like April is "adjustment" month. And thanks for the encouragment (especially this time of year). We do get to start doing more fun things. Josh finished his Algebra textbook today ....two weeks early! He just has Science to wrap up and lastly his typing program. He's on track to being done on time or even early. Noah and I are going to continue to plug along - he likes to keep busy ha ha. Keep up the blog - REALLY looking forward to hearing about your trip!!!

January 2010

So here goes, it's 2010 and I have created a blog. I have wanted to blog for awhile but just wasn't sure on what I really wanted to say. My older sister has been blogging for awhile and always look forward to reading the latest happenings in her life. My reason for blogging is just to share some thoughts, or maybe remember my own thoughts of what is happening in my life throughout the year. I will begin to add favorite photos and collections that I enjoy. If anyone would like to say hi please feel free.

November 2013

I want to be remembered as someone that was there. I mean available. I love to create memories with my grand child. I have read many posts recently about memories of loved ones that have now passed. I struggle with my memories, as I can't recall a lot of childhood memories with my grandparents, or cousins since I didn't spend a lot of time with them growing up. Both my parents relatives lived a distance away. I hear of others recall memories of their childhood and the time they spent with others with gratitude. When I think back on my past I have feelings of sadness and missed opportunities. I look at my grand daughter and hope that she remembers the trips we took, the time we laughed playing silly games, reading stories and knows that it was time well spent and worth remembering. I shed tears for the children that don't have memories of a happy childhood and for parents and grand parents that missed opportunities to laugh, live and be loved by the little people that

December 2012

I know, I know, I'm posting and haven't posted since July. I don't know why. I do know why....I feeel like my blogs are the same...i have been so preoccupied with other things that I haven't taken the time as I should to dedicate to my blog. I apologize..this was really something that I wanted to keep up with at this stage of my life to keep me on track with the day to day things that were happening. I forget sometimes that life has a way of taking over and one day rolls into one week, one month, and so on. My plate really isn't that full, but my thoughts about other things that aren't important are taking over from what is really important. I'm hoping that 2013 will see me reflecting more on the "what's important to me". So since July let's see if I can't recall what has been happening in my "busy" life. It seems the summer has come and gone with a flash. My dear friend lost her brother to cancer and it was a very hard time
