These are the days...

As I type I find myself  intoxicated and loopy!!!! Went to the Cinco de Mayo festival @ Brown's Island today. Saw Joan Jett and the Heartbreakers. For an old chic, she can still rock!!!! I was right up front, leaning on the rail. Had a blast!!!!

I haven't been on here in almost a year!!! Really doesn't seem that long. Nothing is the same... A few things maybe but a lot is different. We are homeschooling the boys. It's going okay. The boys still resist any chance they get which makes it VERY difficult to stay patient. Gotta continue later...

I haven't been on here in quite a while. I almost forgot about it!!! Heather reminded me. Our whole family/household is going through some serious reformation. My boys have chosen to learn the hard way about various things such as gratefulness, arguing, respect, love... This is hard!!!! I feel like no matter what I do, it's not working!!! My oldest just doesn't get it! What am I doing wrong? Maybe I have spoiled him and now have to re-wire his thinking. I don't know. It is very frustrating and discouraging. I want my kids to grow up to be good, moral kids and make good decisions but the path they are headed down now doesn't seem to be heading that way.Tough love is just that - TOUGH!!!!
Our trial run of homeschool has started and so far, so good. I think this will help with some of the other behavioral issues. If all goes well, we plan on doing this for quite a while.

This event is on Saturday and I signed up to be a vendor!!! I have just recently stared my own business from home with making natural family products. I am a bit nervous and excited al at the sale time!!!! I hope this goes well. I need it to to get the name out there and start making some money.

I have so much other computer stuff that I look through and work on that LJ tends to get overlooked sometimes. I am trying to do better but hubby gives me a hard time about how much time I am on here anyway. So what's new with me....

Amaya is almost 1 and I can't believe it!!! This year has flown by! I really think she might walk by her first birthday - she like s to stand stationary and dance sometimes. This started very recently but she is already a master.

Hubby and I are doing a little better - we were having some hard times for a wile. I think it was a lack of intimacy/sex. I'm sure there is more to it than that but that helps when its there. He is working days this week and I must admit that I love him coming home in the afternoons and having dinner with us and going to bed at the same time. He normally works 4 to midnight.

MY two older boys are still trying me every chance they get. The oldest, VJ, who is 10 thinks he is grown and wants to be treated like an adult but still acts like a 5 yo sometimes. Anthony, 8 , has been a little sneaky lately which worries me. That can only lead to worse stuff later in life.

I am still working on ways of starting my business. It is not a far off dream. I just need to commit some more time to it. Heather is going to draw a logo for me and then I can get the online part going. I already have had some customers just by word of mouth and RM.

Wow! This day has truly been amazing! Long but amazing, none the less. I got the call at about 3:39am. I went to help Maryellen have her baby!! It was such an emotional experience. When I'm not exhausted I will journal the whole story. Right now I am fighting to keep my eyes open. Briefly though, everything went great and her new baby girl joined this world at 7:27am. More to come...

I haven't posted in a little while and thought of just emptying my head. It is late and I should be in bed but you know what they say: coulda, shoulda, woulda! I am not looking forward to tomorrow - well maybe just the first part. I have to take in my van to have some things fixed that shouldn't have to be fixed. It would n't be a big deal if it wasn't 30 minutes away. I know they are going to try and give me a little go cart for a rental and I'm sorry but that's not gonna fly. If I normally drive a grocery getter then a grocery getter is what I should have in return! At least the whole day won't be a waste. I will see my MIL and get to hang out with Heather and Hayden at a mall that I like. I am trying to think if there is anywhere else that I want to go while in the southside and nothing comes to mind...

Today was fun, the playdate was amusing as always. Come to find out, Amaya is  afraid of people with blue hair:) She screamed when Renee sat down next to her. I felt bad but that's just how she is sometimes. That and she hasn't been feeling totally great these past couple of days. Today is her 11 month birthday. It is so wierd to think that in a week it will have been a whoe year since I gave birth to her!!! Where does the time go?

The boys are going through some learning lessons and I am trying to find the patience but it is nowhere to be found!! VJ wants to be grown and can't stand his brother. Anthony doesn't want to do anything but watch tv and I don't know how to help them see that there needs to be some change here!! Constant battle! Does it ever get easier?

I have come to the conclusion that I am married to Peter Pan. I have a 33yo husband that can't get off of the playstation!!! I am going nuts!! It use to be a little here and there but since the new game came home, it is every spare minute!! Hello! What about me?! Yes, that sounds selfish but honest. If he is not in front of the TV he is playing his game or sleeping!! I know he works a lot of hours and maybe that is why I want as much time as I can get with him but I can't even get 15 minutes w/o begging. I am done begging. I even stayed up and waited for him to get home (midnight) and what do you think he wanted to do? Not me! He played that STUPID game!!! I am on the verge of breaking the system and taking full responsibility for it. Probably would only make things worse.... What do I do? It is totally pushing us further apart....

	Weeping or Praying? I'm sure that this woman is probably weeping but possibly praying? Either way, very emotional!
	Great Angle... There is no description - it is self explanatory!
	Someone to watch over me... Angel scattering flower petals on a grave of a child
	Celtic Cross Look at the detail!!!

Alright - I am a virgin!!! I have never used any type of forum like this. I think it is pretty cool, though. I don't know what to write about off-hand but I will say that I am sure this will be yet another addiction for me!! The computer and I have become such good friends!! My husband works 2nd shift so I am home a lot at night. After the kids are in bed I trot down the stairs to old faithful!!!
