Limits

I can only make suggestions on what you should or shouldn't do. I can't hold your hand 24/7 so I guess you are on your own.

I want to help you find happiness and be content but I guess I need to let you live and learn. I, too, have been at this junction and I had to make decisions also.

I want you to be happy and not get hurt but you need to make your own choices.

I wish I could help, but its a decision you have to make.

Right and Wrong

Have you ever experienced things that could be right... or wrong? No matter how you look at it, it could all depend. It seems so nice and feels so right, but part of me wonders what comes next...

I'm so confused...

Happy holidays

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and beautiful holiday.

To write... or not to write...

I have been tossing around the idea of doing some writing.

I have gone through so many things. Even a good friend of mine was amazed when I poured some more info out, as she did not expect it.

She was amazed that there is so much I haven't talked about. I have hidden stories and chapters of my life.

I would like to sit down and write. People would be surprised. But I don't know where to start.

Do anyone have any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions they want to share with me on this?

Where you need to be

Have you ever had things that happen, which fall into place... telling you that you are where you were meant to be?

Holidays

I am hoping everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

We spent time with family and enjoyed conversation and laughter.

It is special to be able to spend quality time with those you love.

At the same time, my friend's brother lost his battle with health problems and another friend's mom passed away also.

This holiday has been full of ups and downs. Its these types of situations that make you appreciate what you have and to not take things for granted.

Thanksgiving

Be thankful for each day.
My mom has had a bury her son.
I have had to bury my dad.
My niece has had to bury her mom.
All of these make you see how short life is and how we need to enjoy each day as we have them.
Please be thankful this holiday season.

Achy

This weekend I did a few things I never figured I could do... I installed tile which turned out cool but was a pain. And then I installed a new kitchen sink. I am not petite so fitting under the cupboard was not easy. Unfortunately my separated shoulder has felt the pain. My arm only goes in certain directions and this was not helpful. My shoulder hurts and I wake up with my hand sore and swollen, as if its pinched. Guess I will need to call my chiropractor. This cold damp weather doesn't help but maybe I'm just getting old? Or maybe just sore and falling apart?

No time... whatever!

I worked for a manager, whom I looked up to, until he said he didn't complete his bachelors degree because he "didn't have time".

That made me look at him differently... no time? He was married, one child in the military, one in high school, and one in middle school, while holding one job.

I just graduated with my bachelor's degree, after 4 years full time, while being a single full-time mom of one teenager, working a fulltime job, working a part-time job, being on church council, teaching Sunday school, holding other positions in the church, and being a part time consultant.

Don't tell me about having no time.... since I am applied to start my masters next month.

People just need to know what they truly want to accomplish!!!! If you want it bad enough, you will make time! Its not a reason, its an excuse.

All i can do

All I can do is put myself out there and let them know I'm interested if something comes up. I can't rush the process, but I do have several people backing me so that helps.
I have mentioned my interest and now its time to just keep moving and do what needs to be done.

No contact...

My son had a down day last week. He hadn't talked to or texted any of hid friends for almost 2 days.

I had to explain that he shouldn't take it personal.

I would give just about anything for even a day without contact. I like my "me time" and don't mind the quiet.

At first he couldn't seem to understand that, but I think once he thought about it, he got it.

Its amazing how our feelings change over time.

Places

I don't know about you, but there are places I spend time that feel good to me.

This morning was church. I opened the doors, uncovered the piano, and listened to the choir. I feel at peace there. It feels good.

Today felt good.

I am bored...

It is Friday... and here I am.
All is good. I feel good... except for being sore from working two jobs yesterday, but all is good.
Hope everyone is having a great afternoon.
I hope to be back soon...
Maybe tonight...
So much new stuff.

Its monday..

Another Monday. One that is just here to test me. I have tried to keep the positive outlook today, as much as it was tested, but I think I did pretty well. Only one glass of white wine tonight (all that was left in the bottle). Have homework. Then go to bed. Things have pushed my buttons today and I have kept my cool. I can do it, but damn.... its hard!

Brain pain

Ever had so much on your mind that your head hurts and you are just shot????? That's me.... today.... bleh!

Come so far

I look at my fellow classmates on Linked In and am jealous. So many have come so far. I feel the desire to change my way of thinking.... and doing.... to be the best I can be.

Has anyone been faced with a similar experience?

Lady bought the ticket. Bought quick pick instead. Either neither will win, my QP will win.... or my original numbers will win. You can bet I'm gonna be watching!!!!

He's driving me nuts

My son and I are leaving for a trip tomorrow. He's driving me crazy. I'm trying to pack. He's got his music blaring. I go in the living room to watch TV. He follows me and sits there with me. I go back in my room. He goes to his and continues to pack with his music on. We have done this lead/follow thing at least 3x in the last 2 hours.

He is driving me nuts!!!!!!!

Confessions

My confessions...
I am 43.
I still sleep with my build-a-bear teddy bear I made 10 years ago.
I will forgive but probably not forget.
I can't sit still.
I am truly a dork!!!! But my best friends love me anyway! :)
But that's just me........

Biz ideas #2

I have three classes left in my BSB and am thinking Masters.
My new job has opportunity to grow, which is a plus.
Part-time I sell Tastefully Simple, but I wasn't a born sales person, so that narrows that down.
Just thinking and wondering.

My son's journey

My son has struggled with his weight. This has been an issue of frustration in our house. We saw a new psych this week. She spoke with him about many things including his weight frustration. Tonight I took him out to dinner and his choices were amazing. I was proud of him. Then he brought food home. We went for frozen yogurt and he took a smaller portion than usual.... with less toppings. I hope this keeps rolling. I want to see him happy.

Why

Why is it my issue that he can't find his headphones when I'm late for work?

Realization

Today our doctor told me that I have done a good job raising my son, after talking with him for 1/2 hour. Made me feel good.

Four classes

Four classes until I graduate!

Today... a day off... so strange

Okay... today is a day off. No work. No school. No homework. Really no nothing. Also no idea how to handle it. Been to the gym. Nothing on TV. Too early for dinner. Don't know how to sit still. Should be doing something. Right? Wow... can't even relax when I can relax.

its a holiday

Today is Memorial Day. Please remember those who are serving as we speak, those who are home and spending time with their loved ones, and those who have served our country and given their lives for each of us.

Happy Memorial Day

Always remember... You can accomplish whatever you set your mind to! Never give up!

somedays it just isn't worth it

Today was ok. Except... My son wanted to go swim, but he couldn't shovel snow before I got up. He didn't want to eat at home but eating at subway, on my dime, was more appealing. And then I went grocery shopping, where I bought mire than I needed to because everyone else had the grocery list... My son gets obsessive and always asks "what's wrong" or "what's the matter".... It drives me nuts!!! NOTHING IS WRONG!!! And I can't get my answers right. I give him a short answer and he asks more questions. If I give him a long answer, I get in trouble because I didn't need to say all that. If I don't answer, he gets mad, if he ask ne a question while I'm eating, he gets mad if I answer with food in my mouth. Ya know, sometimes it doesn't pay to argue, or in this case, answer. And then, after swumming, taking him out to eat, then grocery shopping, he wants to go to the mall to shop... Betcha he doesn't have any money.... And neither do I.

Today has been a long morning already.

Getting Tired

The holidays are over, the family gatherings are over, the food is over, the travel is over.
We made it to the new year without nuch ill effect of the virus going around...
except my son started the Sunday before New Years, with a sore throat... and it went downhill from there. He had three days of school that week, I sent him one, they sent him back home.  Yesterday he went to school, all seemed well.

Today we were getting ready to leave for school and his stomach decided it didn't want to go... so I left him in the bathroom and called him into school.

My mom is telling me she is "getting a sore throat". I love her, but sometimes I think it might be het imagination. Oh well.

Me, I am plugging along and am suddenly just plain beat. I have no time to be sick... but I am getting so tired... just want my normal routine back...

Wishing Everyone a Happy 2013

Hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve... and if your 2012 was anything like mine... I am so glad it's over.

My 2012 was kind of a wild ride... and I am ready to regroup and get down to business.

This year, I am going to amp up my home-based business, work-out at the gym and get toned, finish my current college degree, maybe get a promotion at work (if one becomes available), and then maybe even find someone to spend quality time with...

Even my doctor asked if I was dating someone... that made me truly think about it... and even more depressed. Oh well.

I hope everyone has a great new year and may all your hopes and wishes come true in 2013!
