It seems silly to post A Glimpse Into My Life without sharing some of the bits and pieces from a few years ago. So I will randomly be sharing some old blog posts from when I first started to Blog.
Hello World
Well here we are on the web sharing the events that make up our
crazy life. We have been here working on homework when Joey asked who
invented homework and Veronica with a straight face said “Arnold Schwarzenegger”. We just looked at her and you just can’t help but laugh.
Enjoy!
What A Morning
So I get up this morning and can’t access my email and neither
can my hubby. Someone managed to change our passwords and our security
questions. Needless to say we were not happy. Joe has all of his
business contacts in his account. What a mess…and to top it off the
individual sent out emails to all of our contacts on both accounts that
we were on vacation in Europe, mugged and all money etc stolen then
proceeded to ask our friends to send money…man did that piss me off, the
least they could have done is put my PO Box in the email…HAHAHA
A Taste of My Life
My darling 9 year old daughter, Veronica (Ronie), thinks that
cute will get her through life. The first time this came out we were in
the car and the kids were talking back and forth, she wanted something
and Joey said no. She came back with “But I’m cute” Joey spouted off,
“Cute will not get you through life.” I just about lost it.
Last week we were again in the car and she was starting in on her
brother and came back again with the I’m cute bit. He told her again the
it won’t get her through life. This time she had a comeback…”It will if
I do it right.” She was so smug with her answer that we were
speechless.
The problem is that she is cute and she knows it but I need to remind
her that she shouldn’t brag about it. Gotta love what can come out of
the mouths of our children.
Negativity
Recently I, personally, have been subjected to a lot of
negativity and I have noticed the drastic affect that it has on not only
one person but everyone around them. I am working on maintaining a more
positive outlook and staying away from the extreme negative influences
in life.
As a result of some of this negativity I have “unfriended” an
individual on Facebook. This person was not really a friend, but a
friend of a friend. We all can complain out things in our own lives but
rarely do we allow it to take over our lives…that is what needs to be
avoided, the all consuming negative thoughts and feelings.
School & Homework
Well there was an interesting discussion on Facebook today with
some friends in regards to school, homework, and education in general.
It all started because I posted that teachers don’t give homework to
enhance our quality time with our kids. This was all prompted because my
4th Grader Veronica, was driving me crazy while doing her homework.
“I hate cursive” is one of many comments that I have been hearing
nightly. The funny thing is that this summer she wanted to learn cursive
so bad but now that she “has” to, it’s a whole another story. She
really isn’t lazy but she acts flaky at times and it drives me crazy.
Does she do this with her father…oh heavens no only with mom. Finally
she kept asking to do things other things or get a snack so I told her 3
more math problems then she could grab a snack…she came back with “fine
I will do 4 problems”. Sounds like a win in my favor.
House
No this is not about the ever popular show but about my
house…which is messy. I have decided after our very busy weekend that I
need to be cleaning house and not playing on the internet. I wonder how
that is working for me?!?!?! Considering that I am currently writing
this on the computer, my guess would be not so good. I have gotten a lot
done already today and the laundry is going and getting folded out of
the dryer, which in itself is a miracle among miracles. I am not sure
why we all hate house work but it really is a necessary evil. Everyone
of us loves a clean house but it is the process that we sure could do
without. There are many times that I wish I was Samantha Stevens from
Bewitched and could twitch my nose and the house would clean itself
right up. I can wiggle my nose but nothing ever comes of it.
The Big City
Yesterday we had to go to the “Big City” of Seattle. Usually
takes 3 hours to get there and then about 4 hours to get home…gotta love
traffic. Fortunately all is good, which always makes a trip like that
worth while. But I have discovered that living in our small town with no
traffic lights and the closest traffic light is 20 miles away in a
different town. The drivers in the big city are rude at best. Turn
signals are of course an option in all makes and models of cars…4 way
stop turns into a mess. Driving on I-5 was fun as always. I usually
forget that when the speed limit is posted at 60 mph that it really means
75 mph. Getting passed like you’re standing still.
There was an accident 3 cars behind me. The light turned green and it
looked like this truck forgot there was a car in front of him. Never
been so happy to get home to the quiet of a small town.
