Stress


Life just seems harder these days. My husband and I are having problems, financial troubles, stress from the girls and a lot of stress is coming from his mother living with us. I started looking for a second job last week. No luck yet. I would love to find some thing a couple evenings a week and maybe one or two weekends a month. Not only for the money but to help me get out of the house and away from the stress.

Never, ever again


We let our daughter have a sleep over party for her birthday this past weekend. I thought if we kept it small (four girls) it wouldn't be a big deal. BUT it turns out four nine year old girls is a very big deal. They we so moody and mean to each other I was ready to drive them home by 9:00pm. Every game we played, some one cried. Every little while, some one was fighting or disagreeing. Girls are crazy. Never, ever again!

What are you waiting for?


Do you know how many people a year die from a cardiac arrest ? Sudden cardiac arrest kills 325,000 people. That is almost 900 people a day. Shocked? You should be! How about this? Did you know that SCA usually occurs without any warning? That means you could be a risk of a heart attack and not even know it. Feel like you should know more? You should!
Visit www.insidecardiacarrest.com, learn what you can look for, what you can do to lower your chances. This web site offers videos of a real doctor explains SCA and heart anatomy in simple, easy to understand language. So what are you waiting for?

Stuffy


I woke up today with a stuffy nose, both ears plugged and feeling like crap. Even taking sinus pills I have been blowing my nose and complaining all day. I was fine yesterday and even last night. How the heck do you get this sick while you sleep?
I am such a baby, I hate being sick.

My plan for tonight is to soak in a hot bath and load up on cold meds and then go to bed early. I sure hope I beat this early and it doesn't drag on and on. This is not a good time to be sick.

Summer Hobbies


Our daughter is spending most of her summer at my sisters house with my nephew this year. There are a few other kids on their block around the same age and my sister and husband just recently bought a pool so I am sure she will be having a good time while there. But the other days during the summer is what I am worried about. While she is home she will be spending it with her grandmother. I have been doing a little searching around the web for a good summer hobby that they can share. I came up with a great idea that I use to enjoy with my grandmother when I was young, bird watching. Of course they will both need good Binoculars. Thanks to Opticsplanet.com that's not a problem. They have the best in all hobby related products and they offer a Best Price Guarantee and even free UPS Shipping on most orders over $29.95. So I guess my problem is solved for the summer. I think our daughter is going to have a great time and enjoy her vacation this year.

Father's Day


We had a fantastic Father's Day. My sister and I combined our dinners and families and we celebrated over her house. It was really a good time. I love it that we live in the same city and so close to each other. I think it's four minutes from drive way to drive way. I love it.

Growing up


Today is my daughters first day of summer vacation. I still can not believe that she is done with the third grade. Time goes by so fast! Last night I looked over and saw her standing next to her dad and I just couldn't get over how tall she is getting. When did that happen and where was I? My little girl is growing up. I know all mom's tend to say these same things but I still can't believe it!

Weekend in a flash


Not much to blog about lately. Another weekend went by in a flash. I spend a lot of it working around the house and even cut the grass in 92 degree heat. Man was I covered in sweat. A cold shower never felt so good.

Sunday I got in some nice play time with my granddaughter.



I can't believe she is turning a year old next month already.

Not old enough


My nephew is graduating today. That can't be, I still think of him as a little boy. My daughter has a baby, which makes me a cough, cough... grandma. Now my sister's first born is graduating. We can't be old enough for all of this. Not possible.

SATC:Movie


After waiting and counting down the days my sister and I saw the Sex & The City movie Friday night. We really had a good time, dinner first and a couple of yummy drinks then caught the 10:10pm showing. The place was packed with women, all just as excited as we were. Ok, maybe not "all". But most! It was a good thing we bought our tickets so far in advanced because even getting there an hour before the show time we had at least 20 women in line ahead of us.

I wont give away any spoilers but I can tell you the movie was FABULOUS ! We both loved every minute of it. If you are a real SATC fan, you wont be disappointed.
