one year later

A lot has happened since my last post. I am a big slacker for not keeping up better, but I manage a lot of stuff on the web...email, a family website, other blogs, facebook, digital scrapbooking, and the list goes on some more. I just happened to find myself here tonight after a search for a medical term landed me on dear nurses, another blog that I started reading. I thought, what the heck, I will do a quick update since I am here and awake (duh I am at work!).

The summer is going fast. Dani is officially a college freshman. She starts Aug 24, and we move her into the dorm on Aug 19. My 20 year class reunion is July 31 and Aug 1. School registration for the other 2 is Aug 4 and 5. Taylor starting middle school is scary...we may have many visits to the school to try and help her manage being a 6th grader. She is borderline ADD, I swear. Jordyn will be fine, she has the same teacher for 1st grade.

I just lost my last biological grandparent, my dad's dad, June 27. He was 86, would have been 87 in 4 days. He wasn't the same after grandma passed, they had been married for 65 years when she had her stroke and moved into the care center. It was good to see relatives on my dad's side I haven't seen in ages. My stepmom's mother is living in assisted living in Florida, and she is having health problems also, but I think things are status quo for now.

I am getting my holiday pay tonight. The fireworks got rained out for Friday night, maybe Saturday's will go on ok and the hubs and kids will get to enjoy them (without me of course). Oh well, I've seen plenty in my life time so not a big loss.

I will try to make another entry when I am not so tired and sound so boring. Bya!

Summertime, and the living is easy...

Where does the time go to? I mean really, I was just on vacation for 11 wonderful days and it's been 2 weeks now, and it seems like it was just the other day. Now June is over half gone, then it'll be July, and then the kids will have to go back to school and I will have to get my sorry ass out of bed again too damn early. I really hate mornings. I just can't get motivated. Speaking of motivated, what does it take to motivate someone? I was reading an article about staying motivated when you are dieting or starting a new exercise routine, and I have a smart ass comeback for each and every one of them. Why? I don't know. Someone psychoanalyze me please, or maybe not. I don't wanna know how crazy I really am. I really want to know how to get more energy. That would be good.
Thanks for reading and letting me ramble on.......

Welcome to my blog. This entry will be short and sweet since I am just starting out. I will get photos and stuff later this week, when I can pull them off my laptop...I am on my computer at work...I know, I know, shame on me. That's why I am keeping things short. Check back soon for more entries...
