New year, new Goals

So, Its only the 3rd day of 2012, and so far things are looking up for us.  I managed to land a job, and we discovered this morning, that my resume on Monster has had several hits! there have been a few pit falls, such as our van has become a money sucker, so come tax time were most likely going car shopping, but things have also taken a serious turn in my life.  My husband and I are talking about more kids, Getting a House, having multiple cars.  Our son informed us that he "cant wait for football season to start" so we are pretty pumped about that.  He was going to do wrestling but our plans changed rather quickly cuz the car broke.  needless to say hubby and I are VERY excited to hear he wants to do football again. 
So some of our goals for 2012 are

• purchase/ lease a new/er vehicle
• Buy a house
• Save money for our sons college fund
• be more supportive of eachother
• and at some point "Renew" our Vow's

now these are not Resolutions... Because I Honestly am happy with myself, and dont see the point of making a promise to change something about me only to break it  hours, days, weeks, months later. 

 

Oh The Holidays

A good friend of ours came up on Friday and spent the weekend with us, So we had a little get together for him friday night, saturday we just kinda layed around, I thought about Putting up the christmas tree, But Its still out in the Shed...

welcome to MI

The weather has once again reminded me that I'm not living in a warm place.... I'm In Mi.... It was raining this afternoon then changed to snow about mid evening... now there's about 2 inches on the ground and its still falling Ick! Mom said that she came home to no power fun.... NOT! I'm Just glad that we have power for now, I'm wondering If my kiddo will have school tomorrow, I will know about 4 am... Unfortunately I'm sure he will, and I'll have to venture out to take him to the bus... *sigh* I'd rather stay home where its warm and safe, than to have to drive on icy snowy roads

unexpected

Unexpected
 As a Parent that word needs to be in our Vocabulary.  Yesterday started off pretty good, then in the middle crashed and burned, then at the end smoothed out a bit.  My son needs 2 teeth pulled, so we went to the dentist here in town, and they numbed him with q-tips, then out of no where stuck him with novicane if they would have warned him in advanced thats what they were going to do, he probobly wouldnt have freaked out so bad but they didnt and so insted of being there for 30 minuets we were there for 1hr and 30 minuets, before they said "I'm sorry I dont think we can help him here" and they refered us to a place in brighton ( about 30 minuets from our house) and they couldnt even get him in until monday, So not only did my kid not get his teeth pulled I'm pretty sure that he's Traumatize from the argument between his dad and I afterward.  Thankfully my parents house was close and available to us, while I set up his appointment and my Husband and I took seperate time outs... After a few hours and conversations with my bff and dad, I was finally calm enough to go home, when I came home hubby was apologetic, and Explained that he was angry because he couldnt help kiddo not to be afraid, or take his pain away.  Then we had make up tacos... Always good.  I'm going to spend some time with my dad today, hes gonna see about helping me get an over the counter Mouth gard for night time. I dont know if you all know this but about 6 months ago I was Diagnosed with Temporal mandibular Joint dysfunction or TMJ for short, well I also have cronic sinus issues and I dont Grind my teeth I clench them, so I've set out to find out all i can about my condition and I'm makeing the nessicary changes in my life to assist with it, but the sinus issues have now compacted my TMJ so when allergy season rolls around I'm almost always In pain... actually its more like I'm in pain for the changeing of the seasons... suck-tackular.  Haveing visited the E.R. I recently discovered that The dhs suspended my medical coverage, so now i have to go and re-apply and while i'm waiting i have to wait till tomarrow before i can get the meds the ER doc perscribed for me... On a semi happy note Today is Sammys last Football Practice and saturday is his last game, I say happy because His Schedual has been so hectic its actually kept him home for at least 2 days because hes got no time to be a kid on the days that hes got practice, and the days he dosnt he spends it doing homework or spelling words, and He hasnt had a free saturday For 3 months now, I'm happy he wanted to join football its done wonders for his Self-esteem, and he is planning on playing again next year, I think the next great adventure maybe baseball.  we will see come the spring time!

Its the little things

Things have been a struggle recently.  Between balancing bills, football, job hunting, and our "booming" (note the sarcasm) Social life, the little things have passed me by... simple things too like a quiet house, or spending time with Sammy, or even watching the UofM vs. MSU game last weekend, tho i did enjoy that. This weekend is equally busy, Sammy's got his last game and our friends are FINALLY getting married (congrats you guys), and we have dinner with my parents on Sunday I think.  But as I sit here with my moment of time, and tho I have been struggling to make Lemonade out of the lemons I've been handed, I am taking the advice one of my favorite aunts gave to me, Focus on something positive... altho I enjoy being Busy, and I love entertaining, I also enjoy the solitude of a quiet house with those I love surrounding me. And thank heaven that this is Sammy's last week of practice! I need a little down time and so dose he... But he enjoyed himself and we watched Sammy open up and his self-confidence soar! this was one of the best things we as parents could have ever done for him, and HE wanted to do it! it was hard at first but I'm so proud of him for sticking it out and digging deep to find the courage and strength he didn't even know he had.

one day i wont have to deal with a roommate who wants to go out and get drunk EVERY night of the week and party like hes 21...
One day my husband and i will have jobs and we wont have to rely on roommates, or our parents...
One day i will have a beautiful house with beautiful things and a beautiful family to fill it...
One day cant come soon enough! I'm tired of living hand to mouth and struggling for everything i have! I'm tired of being held "hostage" by a roomy who thinks nothing of partying and getting drunk 24/7... and i'm tired of playing "mother hen" to people who dont give a rats ass about what i have to say, because they are going to do whatever they want too any way! I don't mind haveing people over but i dont want people over @ my house every day of the week "crashing" for days on end because they have nothing better to do than hang out and mooch my food.... I'm tired of haveing to depend on people to help me pay rent ect! I want my house to be my own, i want to say good night to my friends close and lock my door and then listen to the quietness of my house, and most of all i want to walk out of my room when i wake up in the morning and beable to make breakfast and not worry about waking anyone up! I'm just so fed up with the way things are going!

The perfect day dose exist and I have experianced it!

Yester day was wonderful! Sammy had won his first football game and we were still both very excited about it!  we had a lazy wake up and were up and going about 10:30 I made breackfast of bacon, eggs, and sausage, then we lazed about and watched Tv till about 1:30ish packed up our swimming gear and went to the lake (photos to come soon if i can) where we swam and went for several trips around the lake in my uncles pontoon, it was perfect no fighting, no screaming, no whining (from kiddo), and no yelling... we even stopped on the way home and got sammy a happy meal, which he immedatly divoured... all that swimming is tough stuff ya know, then sammy played with the neighbor till about 8 showered and went to bed... what a great day!
