ho-hum

My day sucks. it's raining-tornado and thunderstorms. That kind of weather depresses me. :( My cat is on my nerves. I can't get any work done because she wants to claw my feet or jump on my laptop. I'm thinking today that she may make a lovely hat. meow!

Since I am trying to write something every day (even if I have nothing to say) here is my post on Day 2 of getting back on the blog train. Here is a brief overview of what has happened to me over this past year: Got new boyfriend (he's a hottie) My youngest son turned 16 - got drivers license. - a little stressful Sent my oldest son off to college - stressful Changes positions within my company - more stress now! Went to N.O. for first time to see Mardi Gras Went to Las Vegas for 2nd time - Yes both Sin Cities in the same year. I'm still trying to bath off all of the filth. Went parasailing for the first time ever with my 16 year old son - he was braver than I! Gained 15 more pounds Lost 20 pounds! Gained 20 pounds back :( Got a new kitten - she is the devil dressed up as a kitten Got a new hair cut Well I guess that about sums it up. I'm sure there are some other events sprinkled in there that I have forgotten but if anything of real interest returns to my fe...

Something happened between 40 and 45

I went to sleep one night when I was 40 years old and woke up the next morning 45 years old. Did I enter a time warp or something? According to my face and my body I was rode hard and put up wet. I can't believe how old I feel right now and much time has stampeded across my face! Hi my name is Michelle and I am a returning blogger. I fell off the wagon wheel (love that song by the way) of blogging and I'm going to try to climb back on. In the meantime, please enjoy the music. :)

Teens lose hearing around age 15

Austin, Austin, AUSTIN!!! Is that you in the kitchen? (asked for the 4th time-from where I'm sitting in the living room which is right next to kitchen) Finally, a very small weak "yes" comes from the kitchen- sounded like a tiny squeaky mouse. Why aren't you answering me? "I didn't hear you"; he said. So do they hear and ignore on purpose or have the truly tuned out the sound of our voices? His hearing seems to come and go. He can hear me when I say "do you want to order a pizza?" or "do you need some money?" It's other times like when I say" can you clean the kitchen?" or things like pick up your clothes, take out the trash and did you feed the dog that he becomes stone deaf. I worry. I hope there is a cure for his sudden onsets of deafness.

so far....

Well my second post of 2011. How exciting! well...sorta. I know I can get back into the swing of things if I keep moving forward. Let's take a look at my life: Work: so, so. I enjoy my co-workers, I like my boss, what I do...not so much. The people make it fun for me. Social: I don't have many girlfriends. I don't know why either. I suppose because all of my time is divided between my two boys and my boyfriend. I would like to have my girl time. Relationship: Clint is a wonderful man. Our relationship is a long distance one (hour apart) but we do enjoy our time together and always look forward to seeing each other. I want to see us grow. Child Rearing: This is the toughest area of my life but also the most important one. Teenagers are very very very difficult. I strive to improve in this area every day. I love my two boys. I always say "One is my heart the other is my soul" :) Things I want to do more of: Exercise, outdoors stuff, home decor, girlfriend time, visi...

New Year, New You?

I have not written in quite some time. I'm not sure why. I believe I just ran out of things to say. Since this is a new year I thought I would pick it back up again. (I guess have some things to say now!) ALOT has happened from end of 2009 to today. I broke off a 4.5 year relationship, lost weight, gained it back, fell in love again and have so far lived through the trials and tribulations of raising two teen aged boys. My oldest is 18 and the day he turned it he thought he was the total master of his domain. I couldn't believe had given birth to such a creature. He was horrible. Thing are now finally calming down ( I hope). My youngest, 15 years old, has fallen in love. He is on cloud 9 when she is around. It's a little bit scary for me. I'm not ready for grand parenthood. I need both of them to graduate college so they can take care of me! At least that is what I keep telling them. I met a guy on Face book that I went to high school with back in the dark ages. He are ...
