for those who want to know
I feel as if I'm a bird sitting on a fence just watching the scenarios here on JU sometimes. I've been here, but I've not been here, if you know what I mean!
I've been reading, when I can, responding at times, sometimes it takes so long for my computer to open up a comment box, I give up in frustration and once the blogger has already moved on to five or more other articles, well, me responding means nothing anymore...especially when I get no response, so I've stopped trying to catch up!
I still post, like I've done today, with some interesting stuff I wanted to share. I know I"ve lost some readers but I guess that's the price you pay when you're not seen much uh?! Aw well...life goes on!
But that doesn't mean I don't still read with some of you! I've just been busy with kids and home and work. That's why when I get on, I'm on for a bit then off again, quickly!
So a run down of what I've been up to:
My oldest daughter graduated YEAH! Her high school graduation was just great and we're so proud of her. I'll tell you for a moment there, it was close, cause she made her grades slip and it took a lot of my staying on top of her, literally to get her to not mess up...not that I wasn't before, but somehow, she did let it happen, and once I found out, I was a drill sargeant! She didn't like that, but tough! There's just so much lee way and freedom to give these kids and so I had to take some of that freedom away! She got it back, but it's all a work in progress! One hurdle over!
My son passed his seventh grade and will be in eight grade next term! He's on holidays now!
My youngest had preschool graduation! It was great and we were all there to support her! YEAH!
I finally got her registered to attend a summer program! That was a major worry for me. For the last two weeks I"ve had to pick her up early, dropping her off at home with her sister, driving back to work, it's been quite hectic! But on Tuesday, she begins summer school!
I'm working on the last of the 'stuff' that I need to include with her packet for Kindergarten for the new school year. So, she's not registered yet. This afternoon I will pick up her medical records from her peds and then will hopefully drop off that packet today or Tuesday. Prayerfully, there's still room at the school close to us! Gee, the amount of paperwork to be completed - a lot!
My oldest is looking for a part time job. She quit the Micky D's job and what a big relief to her. I didn't realised she was so unhappy there! I told her never let anyone do that to her again. It's a long story, but those people out there hiring our children are abusers! It took all my willpower not to step in physically. I had to let her handle the situation with a little guidance but not with mommy going to the rescue! Yeah, I do know how to let go!
She's not registered for a college yet. There were some unsureness on her part. And with her grades not being fantastic, not too happy about that, but I've already said my peace and we're not going to talk about that anymore. So she still wants to be in the production, entertainment business and I tell her to still go after her dreams! She was unsure and hesitating as to what to do next. With some guidance she will enroll in a college program and take it from there. I tell her she can still do it and we're here to support her!
The boyfriend issues - they're still an item, besotted with each other, not wanting to give each other breathing space! I wasn't too happy about that but we're letting them see each other and yes, I do step in at times just to make sure they both haven't forgotten that they need to make plans for their own future as in going to college, focusing on what their future careers will be...even if not right away to have a plan, but to not lose sight of all that just because they are in a relationship! Hey, I'm a mom I have to do that!
She's (my oldest) has been wanting to stay out all night! I told her that's not acceptable! She's still 17, (will be 18 in two months) but she's still my daughter and I don't accept her being out til 2am! So the compromise is she gets home before 12 midnight during the week, and by 1:30am on the weekends. And as for as being intimate, which came up time and again....she's assured me they are not physical because I was concerned that it will happen and I don't want any grand babies! I reminded her about going to the doctor and such. I'm a realist and that's life!
We have a wedding to go to so we will be out of town on the weekend. I have to go do some running errands bit in a few minutes!
I've begun to work on that dream I had where my business is concerned. It's happened quite accidentally, or not, I believe the Divine Universe is telling me something! So I've been busy with someone else who is trying to do their own thing and I'm helping them in the process....that process is what I've been wanting to do to establish myself, and so that's taking up a lot of my time. There's nothing concrete so to speak, however, it's still a work in progress and I will make it happen! More details to follow once I"ve gotten it up and running!
Hubby is OK. He's still stressed by those people who are supposed to be his 'bosses' they are a bunch of knuckle heads! But he's doing his thing, he's in charge of people in his unit and having a hard time with those who don't do anything but micro manage and make it impossible for him to do his job! He works so hard and I hate to see him being taken advantage of!
There have been some changes at my job and we're dealing with it. I'm still there, some people are not. It's a long story, but the gist of it is, when you go somewhere to work and you're in a position of title, it doesn't entitle you to try mutiny to take over the bosses job! Idiots that they are did some stuff that is mind boggling! Hence, things that have been done, well...what a tangled web! I'm still hanging in there despite the changes and the new climate which should hopefully get back to where we were before all that mess happened!
I managed to clean out my mom's closet, at last!
My little one has her own room now, with her stuff! She still sleeps on my bed, at 4am in the morning she comes crawling and buries herself in between us, hence no sleeping in the nude-LOL!!
I'm still trying to get a lot of things done personally, it's not easy, but I'm sticking with my plans and will hopefully come out ahead.
For some people I"ve made promises to, I never go back on my word! YOU know who you are!
So there you have it! Thanks for still reading with me! I'll have pictures to share as soon as my daughter sends them to me by email and some other films to get developed! Yeah I know, I should get a digital camera...my son is shocked mommy is so behind the times!
