Happy Monday!!

It's sure has been a while and I not the best these days keeping up on things.
So here is a little update in my life...

• Working part time and studying


• Test is in a few short weeks more like 10 days


• I finally got to see Jake ride the 5 foot uni at halftime show


• basketball on Sat


• Headaches are back but I think that cause of the season changing


• No scrapbooking :( very sad Leah


• got another parking ticket in Seattle and it's not even my car! This happened to me last year too!


• OH the biggie for this month (drum roll please..... )

I FELL ON SLIMY MOSS DECK!

Yes, I fell again. crazy this time I was I just walked out the at work and BAM I slipped and trust me all I heard was rip and then bounced on my left side.

SO damages done to my body this time....

• Twisted right ankle


• top of the foot sore bone hoping I didn't fracture it. (no I haven't been to the doc)


• A few nice bruises on my left side


• my hip has the biggest one. looks like a 6 inch wide heart shape bruise


• and my pride shot to hell.

What can I say.

I wasn't running, I just walked out a door and it was raining and my heel found the right spot of slimy moss. And down I went. This happened on Valentines day too. Now a few of you know I've fell before on this sweetheart of a day. 2008 & 2010.. I see a pattern here. So I am giving you all a heads up for Feb 14, 2014 I will be on a beach drinking and no step & moss to be by me.

I'm on a road of getting better. I just in a wrap around my ankle and my air cast is off. Driving to work now too. I was very grateful for the long weekend with the kids out of school. I could lay low and just rest.

I hope you all are doing great...

I wish you all a HAPPY MONDAY and enjoy whatever you are doing.

peace out<3

Moving right a long...

or as my mom would say "the little engine that could".

That's what I feel like lately. Each day seem to be the same.
Same time
Same routine
Same thing....

• Up by 5:30am


• Get ready for the day


• 6:25 over to Jen's to get Jake off to school. I love this part of my day.


• 8:40 drop Jake off at school. We listen to a song on the ipod up a little higher then we should... haha


• Then off to work, open the office up. Awww coffee. Yes, I look forward to this each morning! My fix as you would say. We all have them & this is mine.


• By noon or 1pm I'm out to go home to study till I can't see anymore (or my head hurts). I know you must think I'm over stating this but trust me I'm not.


• By 8:30 I'm beat and I'm falling asleep. Poor Len I can't remember when I made a home cooked meal. (beside soup. I am sick again:(...)

BUT with all of this I told myself today we are going to mix it up. I am going to Skype with Rita... a study date as we are calling it. HA! knowing us... a talking date. Then 2 miles on the treadmill then cook dinner. Then hit the books again. Maybe just maybe I might not wake up at 4 (like the last 4 days) and without a headache.

Don't feel bad for me tho. I made this choice and in the end I will win... Looking forward to the weekend tho. Jake has a basketball game and doing a half time preformance at Western. I will see him preform for the first time on the 5foot unicyle. YEP.. my Jake who is as tall as me will be much much taller then me now. I will post pictures too!

Well Happy Wed everyone...

Make it a good one and if I might ask one small favor. Say a pray and keep me in them. Just for a few more weeks.

peace out

F..?? fail or future

My view this last week.
Let me get you caught up on things in my life.

• working part time


• crop for 4 days straight :D


• basketball


• Winston... love this dog!


• music


• family


• planning our trip in July


• taxes :) :( dislike doing them BUT love it when money jumps back in my wallet! haha


• studying for my P/C licence

Studying is my life these days....

I have been "hitting " the book sense for a few months now and I really don't enjoy it. I love reading don't get me wrong. But state laws and all the BI and Pd ect ect... is boring. Yes I work every day in it and I know my stuff. But have to retrain my brain and teach it things that our company doesn't touch is driving my head crazy and hurts. I can't remember the last "good" 8 hours of sleep I have had.
(before I get my license I have to pass the state test...) I did take the test last Friday and didn't pass. Yeah... I know going in I just wasn't ready like I wanted to be. But I did my best.

I've been back at it for a week and I'm in class each day now. So at 51 you can go back to school. I see people all the time. I am just not one of those folks. I love learning trades and I am good at it. You might say... "on hands can of a girl" haha

I never went to collage. I went to Beauty Collage... a trade. I love working with my hands... Hairdressing is just that. I worked in the retail & fashion world, then my all time best job Scrapbooking. I fell over head over heals in that world. I am good at it too! I am by far a person who says that about them self. But the world of color... paper and stories are amazing to me.

I love making scrapbooks for others and putting stories of them down on paper for everyone to see. It truly makes me happy.

I have to say I am not truly "as happy" these days. Studying is a downer but has to be done. I must pass the next round of testing. 170 questions and 3 to 4 hours to do it in. Doesn't sound hard but I don't test well at all. Nevers and second guessing is the worst.

This last week I was talking to a friend and filled them in on my life and was surprise to fine out they thought I was mad at them. Not at all. Just my head has been in places I chose not to enjoy. Yes this is the path I'm walking in... my job as Len asst is not just answering phones and faxing. If I am going to continued to work here I have to do this or leave. A choice I made to help my husband who relies on me for 75% of our business (I am good at it). I think the words for "good or bad" come in to play in our marriage or for better or worst..

So as each day passes I see a whole other side to things and I'm growing still in the middle of my life. I think one hard thing is missing & talking to a few friends the I relie on as my cheerleading group. I miss their smiles and company. I know I have their support. Sometime a smile means so much and can take you far down the road of stuggles that we all face.

To my Sam... you the man and thanks for our every lasting friendship.

To my Len you are truly a wonderful hubby.

To the most amazing bunch of girlfriends I love you.

To a very dear (& longest) friend.. even tho we don't talk much... we do email some. I miss you and even tho you might not be "present" in my life daily YOU are always close to my heart.

To my kids... you make me laugh and I love you so much. Jake you just might be right... If I don't pass there is always McDonalds... LOL

To my family and extended family... MY>HEART>IS>FULL!!!

If I have missed anyone I am sorry. Know I love you all and this time in my life things are changing which is a good thing. Change is good... hard but good.

I keep you all in my daily thoughts and prays till next time...

Courage does't always ROAR... Sometimes courage is the QUIET VOICE at the end of the day saying I will try again tomorrow!

peace out
