Women Changing Their World

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...

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 ...

Happy Fall! Cooler weather has finally arrived. This is my favorite time of the year.

My son spends the night with one of his friends. When he comes home he asked me why I don't get up on Saturdays and cook him pancakes and bacon like his friend's mom does. Then the lecture began.... I'm sorry, but I work all day-all week long. I get up every morning at 5:30 and prepare your breakfast, come home and take care of as much laundry and housework that I can while making sure you boys have your homework done and take care of any of school stuff that is due the next day. I have to fix supper (which sometimes is a grilled cheese and can of soup) feed the dog and the cat because no one else will do it. hint hint. That is why i don't get up early on Saturdays and fix pancakes. As a matter of fact, you should be getting up fixing ME pancakes! Oh, he says.

When did I become so dull? I was just sitting here analyzing my day to day routine and realized that all I do is work, parent two teenagers (very hard), clean house and pay bills. That is my life in a nutshell. Where's the fun? Where's the excitement? The most excitement I've had in a while is when my cat gave birth to her kittens. Can you believe it? When I die my tombstone will say "here lies the dullest person to ever live" . Okay, time for a change. I need to try sky diving, bungee jumping, deep sea fishing....something! Please give me some suggestions. What do most 43 year old women (single moms) do for fun? I need a hobby. What kind of hobby can I take up? I will admit right now that I have a short attention span and I get bored quickly. I'm probably ADD. I feel I have an adventurous spirit, but I have this other side that is do darn responsible and logical. I talk myself in of and out things all of the time. I have been this way my whole life. Wanting ...

So what is today all about? Remembrance. That was a horrible day in US history. I've never witnessed such tragedy in my lifetime before or since. My heart goes out to all of those families affected by 9/11. Things like that should never happen to us, or anybody on God's Green Earth. I have to get ready for work, yuck, but I felt I needed to post a little something today in remembering that day. I hope everybody has a good day and a wonderful weekend. God Bless Everyone.

I wish something funny would happen so I would have something to write about. Lately everything has been sad. Summer heat makes everyone irritable too. I hate the heat. Why do I live in the South? I guess because it is where I was born and raised and I never had enough gumption to get up and go some where else. Lazy. I was thinking today about how small my world really is. It seems to get smaller with age. People are complicated and take a lot of energy to deal with. The more people I meet the less I like people. Now don't get me wrong, there are people I love. Just because I love them doesn't mean I have to like them. High tech world today-it's supposed to make our world larger- internet -every body "wireless" now, funny, it is making it smaller. So small that we don't even stop to say hi to some one on the street or hand write a letter to a friend who moved far away. So small that we don't leave our back yards or invite neighbors into our yards. We wo...
