Not much going on

Well not much going on around here. Life has been pretty quiet and busy. You know the usual get kids off to school, laundry,cleaning, and after school activities.

Yesterday was Brian's 33nd birthday. We went out to dinner. Then we spent time with David E. Brian and I are looking into buying rental houses. We don't really want all our eggs in one basket. Not really sure if it's what we want yet. We are just looking into it.

Today at noon I have either a second interview or I'm hired at Movie Gallery. So you all cross you're fingers. I want this job so I have something to do. I think I need to be around people and have grown up conversations (which cartoon to watch).

Like I said not much is going on.

Bad day blues

Sunday I didn't feel good. Migraines, stomachache, and pelvic pain what a way to start the week.

Monday started off pretty good. I got to sleep in. By the time afternoon came its my busy days. Kuk Sool Won for Kathryn, Chris and John had to work, and while during dishes I hit my head. I know it sounds funny and looking back it was. At the time I didn't find the humor in it. I went to put my liner for the crock pot (5 qts) away. It belongs above the fridge. I went to put it in the base and the pot fell on my head then bounced and hit me again. Ouch did that really hurt. That dropped me to my knees. Then the lid hit me too. I had three huge knots on my head. I won't do it again.

Tuesday was hard massive headache from the knots from the day before. I had a kid in my bed the night before. I can't have kids in my because I end up sore the next day. I just think my week needs to get better. I sure hope it does.

Self Image

I am so sick of the way the medias portrays women. We need to be thin perfect Barbies. Not every woman is destined to be that small. I think we need more well rounded woman in the media. Woman come in all shapes and sizes. I'm so tired of sex selling everything underwear, cars, food, appliances its ridiculous. My daughter tries to diet!!!!! This is not right. There is nothing wrong with her. She is perfect the way she is. Why do the girls for Kathryn to look up to have to drastically lose weight and gain it? It is so unhealthy. I would love to see more people in the media saying it's ok to be who you are. It is one thing to hear it from your parents another to hear it from your idol. Does anyone else feel this drives the kids to try to be "perfect" ? So instead of just being kids they're trying to tackle the pressure of adult women too.... Here is hoping I've given my daughter all the positive I can and hope it is enough .

Happy 16th Sarah

Today is my neice Sarah's sweet 16th. It hardly seems she should be 16 already.My how the time flies by so quickly. Sarah has grown into a very beautiful lady. Shes' intellegant, loving, caring, funny, great with children, and a well rounded person.

Sarah came over to get her hair and make-up done for dinner with her boyfriend Nick. She was a bit stressed out when she first got here. Her mom had to work and couldn't spend the time with her. I managed to calm her and help her find her gorgeous smile. I took her home to meet up Nick.

Happy sweet 16th to you Sarah may it be everything you hoped for and more!

Giving in to the pressure

Well I finally decided to give in and BLOG! Maybe ranting about random things to friends and strangers will help me feel like I'm getting adult conversation. I guess I'll start with a little about myself.

I guess I can start with....Oh I know. I'm happily married for 11 and a half years to the love of my life, Brian. My first real boyfriend. I was 16 he was 19. Man was he arrogant! Though I have to say I couldn't get him out of my mind for that reason. Brian is intelligent, honest, loving, passionate about life and family, and my best friend.

We have 3 beautiful children together and I have a step-daughter. Lauren is Brian's daughter we don't see her (LONG story) she is never far from our minds or hearts.

Christopher Ray our oldest is 10. He is so much like his father to smart for his own good. Though he has his fathers heart of gold. He is a lover of knowledge and animals.

Kathryn Lyn is 8. She is to much like me. She has quite a flare for the dramatics as I did (ok maybe....I still do) . Kathryn is our social butterfly and such a beautiful voice for one so young.

John Alexander is 7. John is the blend of the two of us. He looks like his father. Brilliant like Brian and Chris. I hate to admit this but, he got his temper and attitude from me. He's an amazing artist for his age quite an imagination. He even has his own alter egos. I'm sure I'll tell more at a later date.

With 3 kids in school full time I lead a busy life. One day I may actually catch up to it. LOL.
