The weekend and a little of the week

Olivia Mia Caie Kelsie (They all slept in there clothes)

This weekend I ended up with Mia, Calie, Kelsie, and of course my daughter.  Olivia had 2 b-day parties on Sat the last one......Toia, Kendra, Jane, and I went and had dinner and drinks when we went back to pick up the girls of course they all wanted to come back to my fun house. They had a blast of course there was dress up and high heel shoes that they all get to wear.  Dancing and cheering you can't come to my house with out dancing and cheering. They all spent the night and woke up very quietly so they could have a cappuccino. It was great fun for all to be had.

The adults of the group hung out and played cards in attendance where the Lanes, Mike Mendoza (missing Sheryl), and the Allisons. Its baseball season so we will get to hang out them some.  You know they use us for the pool.  Just kidding. It was a blast playing oh hell our new favorite card game.  I ended the night before everyone else because of my eyes being on fire.  That is what you get when you wear your contacts for 24 hours straight and your eyes are not used to it.

Sunday was a lay around day at home. 

Monday was crazy I did a million loads of laundry and cleaned out the top part of my armorie Look at what I did.



shoes, t-shirts, strapless shirts jeans and shorts



 

I love it.  What do you think???? I am going to tackle the bottom part another day.  The plan is to use the bottom for storage for craft and office supplies.

OH and I have been doing really good on working out.  Monday I worked out 3x Tuesday I did Zumba on the xbox with Olivia, Kelsie, and Kendra (that was alot of fun) Wed I went to Jane's and we did a P90x ouch.  But we all finished and were able to walk out instead of on a stretcher.

Something from yesterday

After I wrote yesterdays blog I went to "Chatting at the sky" a blog I read every now and then.  This is part of what she had to say. 



Wow I think I was one of the people that God had in mind when she was writing this. :) Crazy how I don't know this person from Adam, I stumbled across her blog and I liked it. Started following it and go to it maybe once a month.  I went to it about an hour after I submitted my post yesterday.  mmmmmmm

But you smile in spite of yourself, because they are kids after all. And you consider your goals, how maybe the goal you thought you wanted isn’t the best goal after all, that your heart and efforts may be better spent enjoying the process, the humor, and the life rather than constantly reaching for the future, the dream, the clean.


Pretend spoons never get dirty. And it isn’t a mistake to bring your bathing suit to Hollywood, exactly. But real dreams take real work, and to keep them neat and tidy is a mistake, I think. Making your dreams come true isn’t always so dreamy. And it’s always good to remember the most important thing.


“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD, “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.” – Isaiah 55:8


Surely that applies to everything – to the everyday things of mothering and loving and to the someday things of maybe and impossible. When we begin to realize our dreams and we discover they are nothing like we thought, remember the ways of the Dream-Maker are different. And that dreams have nuts and bolts, too. If they didn’t, then surely they would fall apart.

Just one of those days

Have you ever just had one of those days...........The blah blah blah days..................You can't wake up and everything hurts?

I did yesterday.  I got my feelings hurt and I just can't let it go. Why does this happen it is so stupid. I just feel like emotionally I have been hit by a truck. I went walging (walking/jogging) last night all by my self and that actually was really nice. I sang out loud with my Ipod in my ears I am sure my neighbors think I am crazy. Well more crazy than I already am.  It made me feel better but still in a weird mood. The kids are not doing there job at school and I don't really know what to do with them.  They are grounded until there grades come up BUT it is really hard when they do so much stuff that is team related. Do you let the team down and pull them out? OR do you say this is the only thing you get to do?

I don't really feel like I have a purpose except from just being the kids mom.  I know I have said this before when my kids are grown and off doing there own thing what do I do? I have tons of ideas of what I want to be when I grow up but when does the time come that you say, OK your grown what did you do. What happened to all those good ideas.

Is being a mom the only identity you can have when your kids are growing up.

Do you day dream? I don't think I do any more. I know that when I drive and I don't have the music on, my mind is just blank. Then there are other times that I talk to my Grandma like she is there and going to talk back to me. Of course she isn't and shes not going to talk back to me, she has been gone for 4 years now. So how do you go back to day dreaming like you did when you were a kid?



OK enough about my blah blah days. 

Today is going to be awesome just because I am  are alive and it is not snowing.

I want to be a nerd

Trying to figure out why I have become a non computer nerd.  I want to be a nerd again.
My dear friend ShaRhonda   (click on her button and visit her blog)
Has to walk me through everything what is up with that.  She sends me tweet to retweet so I might be able to win something.  Can I do it on my own.  OH no heaven forbid that I figure it out my self.  I have to call her and the conversation goes like this.  Hello what do you want me to do? How? When? Why? Where? Who?  I feel like a 2 year old that just learned all these words.  OMG what happened to my computer knowledge.  I used to be the go to girl. NOW...... I am the one running to my girlfriend.  HELLLLP.  Hopefully I will get the hang of all and be able to get this wonderful technology under wraps or maybe just under my hair in my brain.

Sometimes it should be about me

The problem with being a mom and a wife is you tend to loose yourself in your family. I wonder who am I? If I took away my husband and my kids what would I be. I can't answer. I know I am a good mom and that I am a good wife. BUT what am I to myself. What would you answer if you were asked you are you and you can not use wife, spouse, mother, daughter, or friend? It is just about you.  I know your saying those thing make up me as well.  AND you would be correct they help make me to however I should be able to stand on my own and be able to be a person with out all my people.

I am trying to remember who I was before and I think I am going to have to walk the yellow brick road backwards.
