no emails and no one writing on their blogs

here it is Sunday afternoon and no one has written on their blogs and no one has written emails all weekend.
Makes me wonder what everyone is up to that they can’t write?
Oh I know Kathy said her internet is down, but she is one of how many people who write on blogs?
Five?
No one emails either and it has to make me wonder if they are just too busy, or do they have nothing to say?????
Makes me feel like I’m out of the loop.

My day off

Tomorrow is my first day off this week.
It will be filled with doing laundry, cleaning the house and watching TV most likely.
Maybe even go out to eat with the kids.
Chinese food sounds pretty good.

but it will be nice to not have to go to work for a day.

I apologize

wow, not sure why, except maybe because I’m tired, but I just read the previous blogs I have written tonight and found a couple that have words in them that don’t even make sense.
So I apologize to those who read my blogs and are wondering HUH? when they get to the part where a word is either it that doesn’t belong, or I left a word out.
I can blame it on being tired, or just blame it on getting older.
Take your pick.

missing my Keira

I haven’t seen my baby girl longer then a few minutes since last Saturday and I HATE IT!!!!
I miss her so much.
I feel like I ache inside because I haven’t seen her.
She is so much a part of me and my life.
It is hard.
I honestly believe that I don’t know favor one of my children over the other but I do fear that I  will favor this child over the next one that Matt and Crystal have because she is sooooo wonderful and special!!!!
hopefully I can find some place in my heart for this soon to be grandchild, because Keira owns my heart right now.
Every peice of it.

a treat

okay, since Rick and I are going to be getting some money back from income tax this year, I decided to treat us for a little vacation for my birthday.
We are going to fly to Daytona Beach for three days over my birthday.
leaving Moline on April 30th at five thirty in the morning and coming back at ten thirty at night on May 3rd.
Why Daytona Beach again you may ask?
Because we love the ocean.
Because we love going to a place we know.
And we know Daytona Beach area.
I thought about going to San Diego, (Rick has been there a few times on business) but I don’t know the place or the area and I didn’t know what would be cheapest or best.
So I chose Daytona Beach again.

Yes there are many states up and down both the east and west coast but again we don’t know anything about any of them….and I wanted something cheap and easy.

Hopefully the weather will be warm and the sun full and shining.

It would do our marriage some good too to spend a few days just the two of us and try and find something to keep us more secure then we have been of late

we have our kids and grand girls and our marriage in common but life tends to get into the way of us as partners and we have let it go lax of late.
So…this will hopefully help that too.

Just to spend time talking and getting to know each other a little

If that makes sense at all?

It does to me, so I guess that is all that matters.

Phenomenon

If you haven’t seen the movie “Phenomenon” with John Travolta and Kyra Sedwick I highly recommend it.
It is on TV right now,  and even though I own it, I haven’t watched it in years.
And watching it now reminds me of how much I liked it and why I own it.

Of course John Travolta is a good actor and I like watching him too so….that is an added plus.

It stinks doesn’t it?

I have complained in the past about how my family, brother, sisters and child aren’t very good about writing on their blogs every day.
Well since I’ve been working so much, I haven’t written either.
And now at least one of my sister’s realizes how much it stinks that you check daily for someone to write, and they don’t write!!!!!

It stinks doesn’t it????

I don’t think so!!!!

enough is enough and I do have to say there is not enough money in the world to make me work  75 hours a week just to keep my head above water.
I’m doing it this week, thank GOD I am on my last day tomorrow of my 75 hour week and I will go back to working my forty hour week and then twenty four hours at the second job.
That will work out better for me.

So I don’t I will be slaving away anymore!!

I hate this…..

I have gotten probably eight or nine hours in the last forty eight hours and I have to say it stinks.
Hate it in fact.
I can barely function.
This is no fun at all…..

think I will have to cut back on my hours at the second job.

maybe work Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights and Saturday’s either day or night.
That way I will get a good nights sleep during the week every other night.

letting go…

On another note my youngest child is talking about moving out this summer to go live with her boyfriend.
Kind of makes me sad yet I’m happy that she has found someone to share her life with.
I worry that she isn’t quite ready to make a go of it.
She needs to learn to pick up after herself more.
She needs to do laundry, cook, and clean.
All these things I imagine Jesse will expect her to do.
??

I  want it to work out for her and I hope it does, but she has to realizethat in a relationship like this she can’t be a slob and expect Jesse to do everything for her like she expects her father and I to do.

But I’m sure she is crazy about him, so she will do whatever she needs to do to make it work.
