Yep, It's almost here our Disney trip is 6 days away!! Gosh I am SO not ready for it : ( Don't you think vacations sometimes take a life on of their own? That's this one, everyone is so looking forward to a "Trip of a lifetime" and I pray everyone gets what they are hoping for from it. They are all looking to me to get all the details wrapped up and have a stress free trip but it is so hard since we are traveling with my grand daughter who is turning one! I;m not sure if we should just get on the popular rides right away or should we do the characters meet & greets form my grand daughter? We have a number of agendas going on so it is so hard to plan. I am just praying we have good weather not too hot and not raining and that everyone stays healthy and enjoys themselves! Honestly I would be happy to just enjoy the hotel & swimming pool with my family all with me (I mean how many times do you just get to lounge around with family without someone having to run here or there).
Anyway, having a really tough week this week! I think I have another UTI, I can't believe the week before our get away I get this! We have NO extra money at all so if I do have to go to the doctor it is really going to suck! The our toilet bowl clogged, thank goodness my husband was able to fix it with minor cash layout. Then my car was making a noise that had me worried it was the transmission, it was getting really bad so we put it in for repairs - over $200.00 later and it wasn't the transmission but some belts & pulleys. THEN the kitchen sick is shot, it runs water under the sink from the pipes..... I had to do the dishes in the bath tub : ( I know you have to roll with the punches but dam can't some good things happen too?
I'm dreading going to work tomorrow but dam we need the money badly so I have to suck it up and stay as long as I have something to do Monday. Life!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life..
I found this quote, and I think it is sooooo true!
Don't you agree? Life goes by so fast you really don't believe it until you get to your 50's when it really hits you right in the heart. You wake up and say to yourself what the hell was I doing all those years! I can honestly say I can't remember much of my 30's, and the sad part is my daughter asks me about when she was a baby and I just can not remember it. I think we were just so busy doing a lot of nothing which is so sad. You know how they say if you could only go back in time? It is so true! I would spend so much more time with my kids and really just focus on them. Now I know you are saying you were a stay at home mom how did you NOT have time to focus on them? That's the part that I just can't figure out myself! Where was I? What was I doing? If there is one thing I can pass on to my kids is to really savor every day. I know my daughter is at a cross roads right now, she feels she is wasting days and she is. I pray that things work out for her and she enjoys what life has to offer her! Right now she is letting life pass her by but not grabbing the bull by the horn and getting out there and living. As a parent you can only push so much, the rest has to come from them. I told her countless times while we were homeschooling her that she needed to apply herself to her studies if she wanted to get a good job and make some good money but she never did. Being young is a time of feeling like you can do anything and she doesn't have that feeling and I am very sad about that. I feel like I have let her down in so many areas, possibly if she had gone to public school she would have found a teacher who would have sparked her interest in something, but I guess there is no looking back only forward. Like the say, Work for a living don't live to work!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Only 16 More Days Till My Disney Trip!
Wow, time is really flying by! It's funny because when I booked this vacation it seemed like it was so far away I had plenty of time to get myself together and lose some weight and get in shape for all the walking I will have to do at the park. Well here we are 16 days away and I have maybe lost 2 pounds! The worst part is I have NOT gotten into shape with the walking like I really wanted to do. I don't want to be the one slowing everyone down or the one who just has to sit and rest for awhile, or God forbid starts to feel sick from starting to wilt.
Okay I have to come clean, just tonight I ate 3 slices of pizza, weight watcher ice cream bars, ice pops and a ton of other things - HELLO! And I am wondering why I am not losing weight or why I feel so crappy all the time!! I know I am a stress eater and I just can't stop like I did when I lost the 50 pounds I pray I will be able to find that me soon!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Sunday
I am enjoying my Sunday, it is very quiet here. My husband and daughter went over to my son's house to watch football. Usually I would go too but today I stayed home and wanted to clean up a bit and down load a book for my nook. There really is something to just spending the day by yourself. I have been productive on the cleaning, now don't let me fool you I'm not breaking any speed records here on getting it done but I have hot a few hot spots that look much better. I down loaded "Hollywood Dirt" it looks like a goody, I'll let you know after I am done. The funny thing is once I start a book it is always hard for me to do anything else. I am feeling so much more relaxed today, it feels good. In the book she write how "Sunday's are the Lord's day. A day spent in the pews at church. Under live oaks eating brunch with our friends and families. Napping through the afternoon hours, front porch visiting time at dusk. Evening was for quality time with your family". Wouldn't be wonderful to spend your Sunday's like that instead of worrying that Monday is almost here? Life is too short, Enjoy your Sunday!!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!

Did Something For Me Today!
Yep, I'm sick of whining about how tired I am and how the weekends pass so quickly that before you know I know it I am back to work..... Sooooo I went down town and got my hair cut. It was really getting shabby looking, so I figured todays the day. I had the works done, haircut & had my eyebrows waxed too. It really felt great to spend sometime just making myself look & feel better! I was feeling some of my old "Mojo" coming back. I can not stress enough how important it is to spend some time on your self! It really trickles down making everything seems not so bad, believe me I know. If you feel sassy, It all snowballs into making you a better you!! I will post a picture of my haircut tomorrow. I also bought hair dye to take care of the greys, I went with a caramel brown color this time instead of my usual dark brown. We will see how that color looks. I will have to dye my hair again before our Disney trip. so if it looks like crap I'll just go back to the dark brown.
I also went to a few of my favorite thrift stores today and would you believe my favorite one was closed : ( I was bummed about that. but I hit two others and was proud of myself I didn't really find anything I loved or was different so I left the store with only a stuffed animal for my granddaughter and some dvd's.
Hope you'll are enjoying the weekend!! Don't WASTE it!!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!

I See Why.......
I now see why so many people go to drive thru places for dinner! It's just too hard to do it all!
I have now worked two full weeks and I am still DEAD tired every single day when I come home from work! I mean DEAD tired, the kind were you are just hoping to be able to move let alone having to do the hundred other things you need to do before the night is over. I was hoping by now I would have adjusted to the work schedule and got used to it, but NO! I pray that I can get a handle on this and can become an actual functioning person after my work day is over other wise what is the point of all this? There is no time for anything fun after work and by the time the weekend rolls around all I want to do is sleep! Of course sleeping is out since I have to do all the things I have to do since I have not time for them during the week. It's a no win cycle for sure. I now know what they mean by stressful job how they can kill you! My boss has been better with me but I still am a wreak every day, that can't be good for me. I try and calm myself down during the day but it hasn't helped very much, I think all I keep saying is "Why the HELL did I take this on?"! Okay the money was nice this week but really what good is it if you are so dead you can't function? I pray I can get a handle on this and it becomes something I can live with because I have 22 more days till our Disney trip and I can't be this shot for that! I will be so upset with myself if I am to worn out to enjoy this once in a life time trip!

I cracked!
Yep, I cracked! I was at work Thursday and it all fell apart for me. My boss was being snotty with me and I just broke down. I know it sounds funny coming from a 52 year old women but I just couldn't keep myself together. I got up from my desk and just told her "I can NOT do this" and grabbed my purse. I was ready to leave again similar to when I started working for her. She grabbed me and told me to sit down that I wasn't leaving, that if I left now we were done. I told her I understood that I would lose the cleaning job too and was ready to give it all up. Now of course this was my worst nightmare and what I was praying would NOT happen, losing the cleaning job which I really like but I totally understood. She would NOT let me go every time I tried to tell her I was done she kept telling me "No your not". Anyway to make a long story short I am still working there. She has gone easier on me and even bought me flowers, so I PRAY that this all works out. I give 110% of myself and it just kills me when I can't do the job the way she expects!
The one thing I am proud of is that I AM able to work full time! I have to say I was worried I just didn't have it in me to be able to work an 8 hour day (of course I am only working 7 hours but who's counting). I have talked with a lot of other women in my age bracket and they all say the same thing when I asked how they get it ALL done in a day and they said "You just do it". Once I get out of work I usually go to the food store to pick up a few things (I need to stop this and shop better during the weekend so I can just shoot home after work). I get home and start dinner (of course so far dinner still falls on me to do even though my husband is working the same amount as me now), then my daughter and I go down to take care of the cat/bird we are baby sitting for. Once all that is done we feed our horses, walk our dogs ect., I can tell you I am DEAD after all that! I do have to say my daughter and I were watching a dvd each night and it really helped me unwined and get ready for bed.
To top it all off having like no time to eat lunch has made me lose 2 pounds since starting work this week - I am down to 142.2!! Yea! Now as long as I don't eat a ton during the weekend I should be okay.
Tonight I went over and spent some time with my grand daughter. That is what really is important in life! Everything else can either work out or not, but family is all you have so really let them know you LOVE them!!
Until Next Time - God Bless!!

What A Mistake!
You know that old saying Damed if Do and Danmed if you Don't? Well that's me!
I took that job helping out my boss for two months with a charity ball that my job is having - WELL what a mistake I made getting involved with that!!!!! I should have known better but no all I saw was the extra cash I could make for two months and now I am screwed! My boss is a tough one to work with to begin with and I should have smacked my self in the head when I wanted to take this all on. You can NEVER make my boss happy she just wants everything her way or else she is pissy with you. At first she told me to go ahead and do things the way I wanted just as long as I get results so I did now she is back peddling on everything she said to me. I have been at it for "2" days and it seems like two months already!!!! God I need your help with this, Please get me thru this!!!
