1) Ahhhh, finally ! I've been tryng to blog since Tuesday -- so my Tuesday thoughts turned into Thursdays thoughts. Between having alot to do around here and my computer acting really strange - running super slow, it is hard to get on here !
2) Been slowly figuring my new phone out - but I still REALLY miss my old one ! Atleast it is good enough to get on Multiply when I'm not near my computer ! So I have not much excuse to miss much !
3) It has been so nice here the last few days, in the 40's and sunny. So yesterday I went out to snap some pictures and enjoy the day - it is so nice to know spring is soon to come !!!
4) My house is such a pigsty, I need to get cleaning it- I have managed to keep up with all the laundry tho and today I am hoping to vacuum and put up some Easter deco. Cameron is fascinated with Easter eggs - so this should be fun !
5) Speaking of cleaning - after all that talking to my kids about cleaning thier upstairs .... guess what ? NOTHING IS STILL BEING DONE !!! Sooo, that has left me no choice but to take things away and get some big trash bags and boxes. I do not think they are going to be too happy when I am done, but they have had plenty of time to do something about it, so it is my turn !!!!!
6) Speaking of taking things away - most of you know that since my daughter Brittany, lost her best friend; Hope, last fall, that I have been ALOT more leinient with things around here - letting them go places, - they have computer access and thier own cell phones now - not too much TV - but more.... well, I can tell you this - I might be regretting some of that. Both Jordan's and Brittany's grades have dropped a pinch and thier attitudes have changed. They want to be more smart mouth than used to be and I am no longer hearing "no ma'am's - yes ma'am's" .... this used to not be an issue - and it is aggrevating me. I know they have to grow up - but they can still be respectful. The amount of argueing that has been going on around here is rediculous, I have no idea what to do - I want to do both and don't want to be mean - but geeeze !
7) Well, the foreclosure thing is really starting to worry me ....tons.... I know we are filing bankruptcy, but the lawyer says that it will only delay the process- so what is the point ? We put the rest of the money we had left into the house, I am really buggin about losing it all, besides I am horrified to rent again after what we went through with renting up here. I wanna just scream and cry and scream some more... I really wish that I had the money to just stop this all. Why does this stuff happen to me ? No news on the lawsuit, but it is all just so worrysome when you hear nothing.
8) The other day I sent a box to a friend of mine - kinda a RAK, right? and what is weird is that Brittany then comes home from school on Tuesday - knowing I like to read, she hands me a bookmark that says this:
"ONCE YOU BEGIN TO ACKNOWLEDGE RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS -- BOTH THE ONES YOU HAVE RECIEVED AND THE ONES YOU HAVE GIVEN -- YOU CAN NO LONGER BELIEVE THAT WHAT YOU DO DOES NOT MATTER".
Isn't that ODDDDDD ??? I had not told Britt anything about the RAK's that all my friends have been doing here ----- how weird !!!!!!!!
9) I am seriously thinking about doing "Fit Friday" with someone on her blog.... I really would like to get more motivated to lose a bit of weight and I really think that this might help me tons. I think talking to someone that feels like I do and kinda has an interest in that same thing will help..... I find that I am kinda excited about it actually. I don't have tons to lose - the doc says that a weight of 125 -130 is good for someone my height (5'2) and age (33), but I would rather be 100-110. I was that in HS. Now I know I am older now, but I don't care. I want skinny !!!!!! I am about 165 right now - just in case you all wondered - way tooooo big for me !!!!! So my goal is about a 55 pound weight loss. I can live with that !!!
10) Well, that is all I can spit out I think - sorry it is so long already - most don't read the long stuff - guess I had a bit more on my mind then I thought ! Oh well, it was nice to get it out !
Time to go feed Cameron - THE MONKEY BOY - lunch and get about daily stuff, blog again soon! Have a great day !
TAMMIE :O)
p.s. The picture above is of Cameron - while we were "wish shopping" in the mall the other day - my son Jordan snapped this pic of this suit he wanted ---- (he loves suits - don't ask me why) and it wasn't till later that we realized that Cameron was even in the shot !!!! LOL :o)
You are a great weight! I'm 5'1" and 36 years old, and I'm over 145 in weight...I was 100 in High School. Sweetie, you are a mommy of many....you should be proud of what you've accomplished!! I've decided that unless our weight is a health issue (diabetes, blood pressure...heart stuff) then just be happy with who you are and focus on LIFE!! :) :)
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool about the bookmark! Really!
ReplyDeleteToday is pretty warm and all, and Calvin wants to go to the park, but Trevor went on his field trip and now he's pretty beat. I wonder if he'll even get to school tomorrow...we'll see.....
It'll be interesting to know what happens when you pack up the stuff upstairs......oh to be a fly on the wall!!
Sorry that the foreclosure and bankruptcy is such a pain....... I hope things get better on that end soon! :)
Neat on the bookmark! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry about the foreclosure, that is stressful! I hope something can get resolved with that soon!
bbl for more later..have to run!
5 I can't wait to hear what your kids said about your cleaning the upstairs. Mine would pitch a fit and then start crying should I touch anything.
ReplyDelete8 Wow, that is really odd that she came home with a book marker that was on the same topic as what's going on around blogland.
7 I'm really sorry to hear about you filing bankruptcy and having to move. Will you lose money on the house should you sell? I thought bankruptcy froze your debts and they use your assets to pay off what they can and then you're slate is clean. But maybe I'm confused. Of course there are different Chapters to bankruptcy so maybe that's how I'm confused.
1 Things sure can get busy
ReplyDelete2 My bad I didn't realize you got a new one... or forgot... what did you get?
3 40's and sunny that's great for you :) it's been average 65 and sunny here... I know "shut up," :)
4 Don't work too hard!
5 I've had to do that a few times over the years... YOU GO MOM!
6 Hang in there, it sure isn't easy!
7 Praying for you about that (((HUGS)))
8 That's neat :)
9 I'm participating in one myself with several people on my list... it's lots of fun!
10 Hope you have a great night and love the photo :)
After reading this post I guess I better cut you some slack on being a Jeff Gordon fan, huh ??? LOL !!! Did you know that he has to use a step-stool to get into his race car ??? Just a little trivia for ya !!! I know, very little huh ??? LOL !!! But I will say one thing, Ella is a cutie !!!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck at Bristol !!! (Just don't tell anyone I said that - - it's bad for my image !!!)
5) This reminds me of when I was a kid. My dad used to threaten my brother, that if he [Dad] had to go clean up my brother's room for him, he would be going in with garbage bags.
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you. When my brother finally moved out on his own, and I walked into his nice clean apartment, I actually asked him "who are you, and what have you done with my brother?"
It's almost 5 a.m. and I have NO idea why I'm awake, but I just ready your thoughts and wanted you to know I JUST went through a foreclosure and we have just moved into a rental house, so if you want/need someone to talk to, cry to, scream to...whatever. I'm here for ya! I know what it's like to lose it all and it's not fun, but hey....it's a fresh start!
ReplyDeleteThat was super sweet of your daughter to bring you that bookmark! Isn't that funny how things work out like that? Paying it forward always a good thing!
My kids have been really, really, really disrespectful to me and their Dad for a while now and I'm like you....I don't want to be nasty and mean to them, but I want to make them learn they can't talk to us the way they do. I'm sort of always feeling at my wits end with them! We have that in common too!
I want to drop about 25-50lbs myself. I like the idea of Fit Friday!
What does "fit friday" entail? I have never heard of it. That is very cool about the bookmark too.
ReplyDeleteI'll be back!! LOL I have to start getting ready but wanted you to know I read your blog and want to comment but have to when I get back from Enrichment!! Hang in there my friend! Hugs to you!!
