More randon thoughts...

I am still unsure about what to committ myself to. Gee, isn't that shocking. You know what, maybe that is what I should commit myself to, making a choice and sticking to it. I can never seem to make up my mind. I always look at the pros and cons and not that it is a bad thing, but I think it sometimes makes me paralyzed because of overthinking things.

Why is it that I am great at looking at others problems and helping them figure out what to do and yet I can't do the same for myself? It is completely frustrating.

I can admit my shortcomings with the best of them, but it is the changing part that keeps me stagnent. I am afraid of change. I like the comfort of knowing what will happen and change means having to deal with the unknown. I left myself get defined by everyone and everything else in my life, yet I am to paralyzed within my own mind to define myself for me.

I can see the person I believe a truly am in my head so clearly, yet I am not her. WHY!!! Is she really the person I am or the person I want to be; and even if she is the person I want to be, is that a bad thing? She is still me, I just don't know how to pull her out.

Germ Breeders

Hmmm.... what has been going on over hear in N.S.

I was greeted by a smiling little girl this morning whom at first glance looked like she had that cute sleepy eye looking going on, but a half hour later and that cute look was actually a swollen eye look. Yes, both eyes were swollen and you can only guess what the reason was.... the dreaded P. E. Yup, it has invaded my home. Needless to say, I called the doctor and after a brief visit, confirmed the Pink Eye and discovered an ear infection as well. Great, thanks Doc. At least there is no school/day care tomorrow anyway so I don't have to worry about keeping her home. I must give a shout out to grandma for being willing to watch my kids even with goopy, swollen eyes.

David has been waking up with crusties also. That is due to his tear ducts being blocked. Keep the Mucinex coming.

I think when a child is born into a family, they should come with a stock certificate in cold/fever medicine!!!! While it has been shown that cold medicine is not good for young children, there are still some that are good to give like Mucinex. Kids are nothing but germ breeders, especially little ones. Don't get me wrong, I still will love and kiss my little goopy nose and eye germ breeders, but they are really gross.

Sleeping while.....

Another day is steadily going by. I'm tired right now because I did not have my morning cup of coffee!!! Yup, I think it might be safe to say that I am developing an addicition people.

Isabella had her school pictures taken yesterday. I can't believe that I already got David's back. Of course they are adorable. Oh, excuse me they are handsome. ;) I am sure that Isabella's will be cute also.

I have to say, last night brought with it some weird happenings. David got up out of bed and walked in the living room then back to his room; repeated this walking then stopped in front of my bedroom doorway and went tinkle in his pants all on the floor. Gene and I could not get him to make sense at all. He was out of it. He then got up again later on and started doing the same walking in the hall when I led him to the bathroom. He was a rambling. wandering little guy until he spotted his porcupine in the living room and then we told him to get in his bed. I had to put the baby gate up by the basement stairs in case he got up and started wandering again. Oddly enough, just this past weekend I was thinking that we didn't need to have the baby gate anymore. What's up with that???

He has never done this before. I asked him about it this morning and he didn't remember anything. I really think he might have been sleep walking. It was really freaky and scary. I hope it is not something that will continue. I do know that he has had a cold for a little while, so maybe that is having an affect on his sleep. My poor little guy.

30 trials

Okay people, I need your help. I have decided to do a "30 Day" journaling project. I need to pick something to journal about. This is in an effor to better my writing skills and to help vent about stuff. It is also about my making a committment and keeping it. I can do this for others but I have trouble keeping them when it comes to me. So, anything is game. I would like some ideas so that I can create a list of things and mark them off as I go along. Who knows, maybe some might be beneficial to keep doing even after 30 days.

Hmmm, what is the news for the day???

Well, I could mention that I went grocery shopping on Saturday and cleaned my house this weekend. I am now forcing myself to get rid of anything that I don't need/use. The clutter is just too much!!

My next endeavor will be to start a paypal account and ebay some of my things. I have some Princess House stuff and other things that I think I might be able to score a few extra bucks from.

Oh, I am also thinking about selling some of my crafts on a website that is designed for only crafters and artists to sell their work. Who knows, it may be worth while.

Well, another school week has gone by. I can't believe it. With another week of school gone by also means another week of homework to. Yup, kindergarteners have homework. It is kinda neat though. They are short assignments and some of them are fun. If it weren't for my son's homework, I would never have thought to measure my shoe with pennies! (It took 15 pennies btw) It really is true what they say, time really does fly right by when your kids are in school.

I am looking forward to a dance rehearsal that Isabella is going to be in later this year. It will be a mini preview of what the main show will be in May or June. She is taking tap & ballet.

What else has been going on.... I am doing alot more crafts and am really loving it. I have begun to tap into my creative side and I must say that I do have my moments of pure geneous. (at least in my mind!!) I have started making baskets and I am going to begin work on currents for my house. I have also begun to plan menus and am cooking more. Ahh, domestic bliss at its finest.

Until later - take care all!!

School Days

Okay, so this is my first time really blogging and I decided that I would write about my sons journey in school. Yes, to some it may seem boring, but to mothers, it will hopefully resonate familiarity and even produce some advice.

Lets see.... the most impresive thing about his schooling is his writing. He has improved so much since preschool. Seriously, did I just say that?! Yup, in kindergarten penmanship begins. I am truely amazed at how much he is learning.

Every morning I get to check his backpack to ensure that nothing is leaving the house that could be lost or confiscated i.e. little plastic pirates, reptile books, etc.. He says that he needs to do something while on the bus. The mind of a 5 year old.

Another amazing thing is that my daughter who is 3, is also starting to write her name. I can hear the unanmious uh-ohs from all of you. Yes, she knows what she wants and that is to do things that everyone else is doing and doing them on her own.

School days are quite interesting!!!
