Moment of truth...

  • if you saw your problems in a pile with everyone elses you would probably grab yours back.
  • all that really matters is that you loved
  • growing old beats the alternative--dying young
  • your kids get only one childhood.
  • forgive
  • frame every so called disaster with these words "in 5 years will this matter?"
  • no one is in charge of your happiness except you.
  • get rid of anything that isnt beautiful, useful or brings you joy.
  • Dont compare your life to others, you have no idea what their journey is all about.
  • its ok to let your kids see you cry.
  • Make peace with your past so it doesn't screw up the present.
  • Your job won't take care of you when you are sick; but your family will, keep in touch!
  • Just keep taking that next small step.
  • Life isn't fair, but it's still good!

Man, talk about fallin behind!

Sorry! its been a while! I guess with having excruciating tooth pain, starting a new job and trying to get ready for christmas I have let my blog get pushed to the back burner!!!

Well lets see, where do I start to get cought back up.....

I had the WORST pain in my entire life at the beginning of this month, I woke up with a tooth ache and blew it off (man was that a bad idea) and I ended up in the emergancy room because I couldn't handle it~ what a waste that was, the doc was a jerk and gave me a shot to numb the area(that didn't work) and an advil. Started on antibiotics and sent me home, 3 days later I went to the dentist and got no help there either. Apparently, I have a wisdom tooth coming in that put to much pressure on the tooth next to it and cracked it, causing it to become absessed. and to fix it I will have to go to a specialist-the kicker, I cant get in until AFTER christmas....GRRRRRRR!!!!!

I started working at the Torrington Telegram part time doing page layout. I love it! it is an enjoyable job, it gets me out of the house about 16 hours a week which seems to be a good balance between home with the kids and getting away. My co-workers are great and it gives me a chance to have some adult time! plus it helps cushen the finances a little bit!

As far as Christmas shopping goes, I am pretty much done, I have 2 difficult people left and chances are they will end up getting gift cards because I AM TOTALLY STUMPED!

I will try to stay a little more cought up with my blog now that things are slowing down a little...even though December is hectic. we have christmas and kennedis birthday is on the 30th. Jaysen always says she was a late christmas present for us :)
