Day with my kid and his class

Today I went on a field trip with my son's second grade class. What an incredibly long day. We went to the crest theater and saw Henry and Mudge. I guess that it is a series of books that they read in class. My son was like, 'Mom, this is NOT a play, it is a musical'. Which he was right. It was cute, but the room was full of kids, sitting that long is hard. I think the bus ride there and back was longer. It was nice spending the day with Bradlee though. However, I have a HUGE headache now.

Tuesday Nights

Another night. I close at work on Tuesday's. Tonight was alright. I must say I have learned to have fun, I normally am busy and try to do so much, and I decided to have more fun cuz yes yes, everyone else is. So I jumped on that bandwagon. I do my job, I just have fun. That said, I now have to unwind, but I am off tomorrow. So this past weekend, I went jet skiing with Cassie and Alex and what fun. Brad had so much fun, I had him ride with me, and he normally is hesitant with things, but he loved it. The weather was beautiful and it was a nice Easter. Not much else going on with me, just working out, and excited to get the DWTS video to work out to. I would love to take up dancing, so this will have to do (for now). I don't have a fave yet on the actual DWTS, but it's not Kristie Y.

Arg.....

Guitar Hero. Lets just say that I need practice, and possibly lots of it. My 8 year old is super at it, and I just need lots of practice. So this is something new that I have been doing. I am trying to do more, although I'm not sure a game counts. But hey. I have been sick for this past week and have lost my voice. My kids have been out of school for spring break, and I had plans to do all sorts of fun stuff, but being sick has not made that a reality. I took a couple of extra days off of work to be with them. I have seriously enjoyed being with them more, we needed mommy and kid time. Work is work, and its alright, so nothing new there. For S. Patty's day, we went to Streets of London with some friends (Belinda you rock drunk) and I had so much fun. My face hurt from laughing so much, needless to say we don't go out much. That is one thing I am trying to change. (Hence the trying new things as stated above) If it takes St. Patty's day to get me out, lets have it come every week. Well, not much new is going on. I must say David Cook , Michael, and Brooke are my fav's on AI, just to throw that out. We all now Archie will do good no matter what. For now , later :D

Finally over

Christmas has always been my favorite time of year, all the fun decorating, the eggnog, people usually being more friendly(outside of shoppers), just the plain atmosphere. So when I had both my kids right before Christmas, I was ok with that. But I tell you, as they get older, the Holidays are a blur. From thanksgiving to after Christmas is so hectic. Especially working retail. Planning both the kids' friends party's which they each get their own cake specially made by mom, then the family birthday with another special cake, and all those cupcakes to school. Then comes work and sleep. Then there's trying to shop for birthday and Christmas. Keeping the house clean, and wait, I know I have to do laundry somewhere in there. So needless to say, this year I didn't get any Christmas cards out, but to keep the stress off, I told my self I will just do New Year cards, after the new year. Next year I will start planning in July. Probably not but we'll see.
As for the kids, Bradlee turned 8 and Emily 6. Emily is missing 4 front teeth, I will have to get a current picture of her, and Bradlee, well, he has been growing his hair out for a couple years now, but I pretty much cut it all off. I was trying to trim it, and was like what the heck. He was NOT happy. I will get new pictures posted on myspace soon. We got a new camera in June and it broke in Nov., we just got around to getting a new one a couple weeks ago(in time for the birthdays?), and wouldn't you know it, the charger didn't work, so I didn't have a camera for the birthdays. But we finally got that taken care of, so soon I will get both pictures of the kids up.
I hope that everyone had a good holiday ( although it's finally over) =)

ugh

So, it's been a while since I've posted. Life is crazy fast. Getting ready for the kids' birthday's and for the holidays now. I can't believe that Brad will be 8 and Emily 6. I'm at some sort of cross roads in my life now, I don't know what to do with it all, what I want to be when I grow up. Wait, I think I am all grown up. yep, being married with kids and bills and all those fun things, I just thought that by now I would know more about what I want. We moved to CT a couple years ago, and this past April we moved back. I think that if I would have came out to visit that I may not have pushed moving back so hard. Don't get me wrong, I love being by family, I just miss it being me, my husband and kids. There was so much to do out in CT and so much that I wanted to do before we moved back. The kids loved it out there. Now I live with the thought of did I do the right thing, like all the time. I want to buy a home, but the market is so bad right now, but we are trying to take care of finances right now, 2 long distant moves in as many years hurts. As for my job, I don't want a new one but I am so fustrated. So for now, I will learn to love most of my job, think of the experiences that I am giving my kids, pay off debt, try to stay in touch with people that I know I shouldn't let stay strangers, and try to take life one day at a time. At 30, I am still wondering what I want out of life. I want to be happy and laugh, and raise wonderful kids, and spend more time with my husband, and have girls night out. Six and 8, time flys.

hey you

So, so much going on. I have to say, I am really wanting to do more. I work, clean, sleep, and my family and friends get squeezed in. I miss having girls days out. I went to my friends son 1st birthday the other day, and saw people that I haven't seen in years. So my mid year resolution (I guess you could say that) is to connect with past friends and spend time with everyone. I think that time gets away from everybody and before you know it it's been years. So to all my friends past and present, I seriously think of you often, you just may not know it.

what's goin on

So, I have been busy as usual. Not the kind of busy of having a socially exciting life, the type that involves being a working mom. For June, my kids spent that month with their grandparents in Montana, and unfortunately I did nothing exciting. I did start a new job that month, but that's it. The rest of the summer has flown by, I have only had one weekend off, and have hardly spent any good time with my kids. A couple of weeks ago I went with my mom and sister to Fort Bragg, but I could only get part of the time off, so it wasn't as long as I thought it would be. We went to the Redwoods, and that was awesome. My kids start school next week, and I can't wait. I also am going to start a new job. I am working at Fashion Bug as the co-manager, but I don't think it's a match for me. I happened to go for an impromptu interview elsewhere and got the job. So I am going to put in my notice and move forth. This new one is closer and better hours, although training is by sunrise mall, so I am not looking forward to that drive. Anyone who knows me know I HATE to drive. I will drive when needed, I just think there are horrible drivers, and I have better things to do than spend my time in the car. (more than necessary anyway). So, I hope that my new job works, and that things go happy, and that anyone who reads this has a good day =)
