Parenting

Have you ever doubted your parenting skills or wondered if you could do it better?

Pet Peeves... For starters

If you turn the light on, turn it off!
If you leave the room, turn off the tv.
If you make crumbs, clean them up.
If you open the bread, seal it back up.
If you empty a container, throw it away, do not put it back in the fridge!
If you use the last TP, change the roll.
Until the next list...

Autumn

I am an autumn baby, born within days of Halloween. I love autumn and the changing of the colors, but Halloween is not my thing. I'm not big on the holiday and all that goes with it. I am truly a Scorpio and an autumn girl, but Halloween is not me.

Selective hearing

I stood in the doorway until he realized I wasn't leaving. I told him he had to be off the phone by 8:30 - he agreed. 20 minutes later, I was in the door again. "What?" He snapped. "It's 8:30". "So?" He responded. He then told me I never told him to get off the phone. Oh man, this is going to be a long age 13!

Wii

Okay, so we are slow in technology. We just got a Wii a few weeks ago. My son saved his money and boiught it on his own., but mom paid for the sales tax, the warranty, and the rechargeable batteries. Oh well. Today I splurged and bought my own controller - kinda tough to play with one controller! We played at least 6 sports tonight as two-player. It was a blast and an hour flew by. Cool!

Feelings

Why do my feelings always get hurt? Do I let my guard down too often or am I just a fool? You hurt my feels again and my spirit is crushed... Until the next day... The next time.

Strength vs. Trust

I have two small tats on my wrist. One kanji for strength and one for trust.
As I continue to look at these symbols, I originally had the thought that these are strong points for me. People comment and compliment how strong I am, with all I do, and how trusting I am to give so much. But the more I start to think about it, the more evident it becomes that these symbols can be either my success or my failure. I try to be too strong, but wanting to do everything myself and wanting to be responsible for everything and everyone. I know I can't be, but I can't get past that thought. I trust so many people that I tend to get hurt. I trust and believe, which can be a good thing, until I get hurt by trusting the wrong person. I always give people the benefit of the doubt, I get hurt, and then it happens all over again. It is truly amazing how the first time we look at something, is not always how we see it again.

Another Day

When I am working, he calls me constantly and wants to know when I will be home. When I'm home, he's either playing video games or listening to music. OR he follows me around like a puppy dog, from room to room, not saying anything. Drives me Nuts! I promise I won't run away.

It's Been So Long

I know it's been a while since I have blogged. The world just seems to keep on spinning and I don't always have time to take a breather, let alone a potty break! My world has been busy, spinning out of control, as summer is coming to an end, school is getting ready, supplies and clothes need to be bought. All with money and time that I don't seem to have. And then my college class is ending and my final has to be done, so that takes even more hours that I do not have.

I will be back... soon.

Crabby Day

Didn't have good sleep. My child was crabby this morning and my mood only added oil to the water. Throw in my cranky mom and there goes the day. Thank goodness I was in church or I might have hurt someone! Argh!
