BABYGIRL’S CRIBAspire to Inspire before you Expire! October 24 Should I stay or should I go? As I've previously said, I miss blogging!! I really do... I know I'm going to start writing again, the question is do I do it here? Do I make a new Space? Or do I move on to a different place altogether? I like the familiarity of Spaces. I guess you can say I like routine. I try not to deviate from it. My life is hectic and this is one way to control it somehow so I think this is why I find it so hard to start all over again in a completely new setting. Don't get me wrong...I've tried going to Blogger, LiveJournal and such and started a very pitiful attempt at a new blog but alas, here I am writing in my trusty ol' Space. I think the dilemma is that I don't want to lose this Space and everything that happened here but I'm also a different person that wants to write about different things and going through a different phase of my life now and I do not want to be stuck in what I was. Does that make any sense? I really think my rose coloured glasses have been taken off and I am trying to maneuver through all the different shades of life. So there you go, that's where I'm at right now. October 22 I miss you my bloggie...I miss blogging more and more. I hate being restricted with the amount of characters I'm allowed to type out to express myself. Mabe now that it's quiet in here I can actually use that to my advantage. I hope to see more of you my bloggie but..it's Thursday so that means TV night!!! January 07 Proud MommaI just wanted the whole world to know how proud I am of Tyson.
He made it to the B Honour Roll List!
He had quite a struggle to the start of the year and there was a lot of yelling and tears when I found out what was happening with his grades. It has been a hard transition from elemantary to high school, for both of us. I have always been so involved in their school and I still have not met any of his teachers.
The day I found out that he got an F in English, I quit my job. I couldn't believe how quickly everything went downhill. Around the same time I found out that Hunter was so behind in her Math work. That's when I knew that my schedule did not work with this family.
So this exciting news was very unexpected for me and even Tys. He stumbled upon his name on the list when he was helping a friend look for her name.
Thanks for letting the proud mom shout it out to the world! January 06 Lazy bumthat's what I am.
I am going to start working out again. I swear. I am. I really am.
I hate that it takes so long to get motivated now. I've tried to figure out all the classes I want and the times it's on. Gotta make plans.
The newest med my Internist prescribed made me gain 10-15 in a month. A MONTH!! Anyway, that pissed me off. I was whining about it to my GP and he's smirking saying the meds didn't do that, it was processing your food properly and it actually used it properly for once so now it's just doing what your body couldn't do with the food you've been eating.
Damn. Busted. So you mean I actually have to eat healthy now? *sigh*
So I'm contemplating starting Weight Watcher's or Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem or something! I told Tys whatever gym and diet change I do, he has to do with me and he's cool wit it. I found some weight classes for him in a community centre close by so I can drop him off before hula and he can work out and then I can go pick him up after.
Asia wants to start figure skating and I haven't been on skates since Tys was younger than her so I promised that I would go and take some "lessons" to try to get up to par to skate with her. Video cams are banned. Youtube does not need a new star.
I'm hoping for a happier, healthier 2009. December 08 SickoI was throwing up everything for about a week and a half straight.
Everything.
I didn't have any energy to do anything. I hate that feeling. That was about a week ago and I'm still not feeling right. I can't believe how long it takes my body to recuperate now.
Even water made me throw up!
Anyway, that was the original reason for the delay in updating...but as Moxie said, I didn't figure how hard it was to come back and try to post regularly. I mean, come on, I'm blogging about throwing up!
Anyway, I've had the tree up for over a week now...I just can't get myself to decorate it! Thank goodness it's one of those prelit ones and we just turn the lights on here and there.I happen to like the clear lights myself but my children love the multicolour ones.
This has been a little bit of a "fight" in our household. My clear lights go with any decor, with the multi I would have to purchase different decorations.
Besides I've been telling the kids that the multicolour lights are "gheeetttooo". So every time I see some tired looking outdoor decor as we drive by, I say "ghetto". Hunter keeps insisting that clear is boring and Santa is multicoloured.
We came home last night and out next door neighbour's house was decorated in multicoloured lights . As I was parking, Hunter asked , "what does ghetto mean, Mom?"
I was giggling, "Poh, not poor...poh...like P, O, Poh...can't even spell poor..." This of course was an inside joke, long story for another time but it makes me happy when I say it.
We're outside unloading the grocery bags and Hunter is standing at our front steps and the next thing you know she's saying very loudly, "Mom, is our neighbour ghetto?"
HOLY CRAP. How do I get myself into this much shit? November 12 It's My Party And I'll Cry If I Want To...It's my birthday...
Another year of me wondering where it went.
Reading everyone's updates and seeing how much people's lives have changed always makes me feel like I have been living like a coward.
I have not made any movement forward. It's like I'm doggy paddling through my life.
Even with school, I go back and forth about what to do and what to take, afraid of making the wrong decision because I am too old and cannot waste any money just screwing around. So I get stuck weighing out my options over and over again. If I take this course I can do this but if I take this one I can do this...
Life is about choices and Ialways seem to make the choice not to make a choice at the moment.
Maybe it's because a lot of people are forced to make a choice and they had to do what they had to do on the spot and I just haven't been there yet. I don't know if it is a good thing or not.
I know one thing, my life is passing me by. November 11 Don't call it a comeback!Well hello stranger...
A few of us oldtimers are going to try to be patient with Spaces and move back home. We had so much fun when we started that we're hoping this time around will be just as fun.
As for me, I'm trying to decide which way this blog will be going this time around. I'm trying to plan a driving trip through Canada and US for next summer and I'm hoping to blog during the trip. I'm also hoping to get to Hawaii for Merrie Monarch next April.
I can't guarantee daily posts but I'm willing to try a few times a week. Can't wait to see all the familiar faces!
August 27 SleepI want sleep. I need sleep.
I'm just starting my 9hrs a day, 6 days a week run at this new job. I have 3 more weeks to go. Writing that just made me more tired. I only got today off because we're performing at the PNE and I begged for it off and took someone's Saturday shift.
Don't get me wrong, I love it there. I love hearing people singing, instruments going...seeing the dancers prepare for competition ALREADY, when most competitions run between March and April! Those background noises are a joy to my ears. It's too bad the schools are closed this week! LOL.
I love the fact that my kids will get most, if not all their classes for FREE!!! Having seen some of the families' monthly tuition be around $600-$1000 per MONTH for multiple kids with multiple activities makes me kinda giddy knowing that it's one of my wonderful perks!!
So no complaints from me.
Now I just have to run around getting all the things ready for the show tonight. I'm happy that I finished arranging the show CD early yesterday morning so it's one less thing to worry about today.
I do have to run around and buy some prizes and such for my Society's fundraiser tomorrow night. I have to rush over there after my 9 1/2hr shift and bowl, bowl, bowl!
Anyone want to go GLO-BOWLING?
