Hi All,

Catching up on some blogs today. I have decided my goal should be to post once a week.

Let's see what is new..........

Kids are ok. My main issues with them are sauciness and not listening. I blame myself for some of that because I threaten to punish and don't always follow through. Sometimes we should like adults arguing not kid and parent. My boy is especially bad at this. It can be so frustrating. Part of my problem is that I am always so rushed and tired. Sometimes it is easier for me to let them out or watch TV or what ever so they are out of my hair.

School is ok. Ayden is having some issues with working independently. I have to go meet with his teacher this week about it. Homework is now suppose to be done with no parent supervision or assistance. I understand why they do this, they need to see where the student is at and work on what they need to improve and they can not do that if the parents do the homework for the kid or point out all the mistakes to be fixed. It is a problem for us though. I get "mom I do not understand this word or what this means" but this is the point of this at home homework. Reading comprehension. UG

Sometimes I think I wish homework and schoolwork was all done at school and I will work on other things at home like responsibility and compassion (yeah as his sister and him fight with each other constantly), which is another thing that drives me batty. The fight ALL THE TIME. About EVERYTHING. The just pick and pick at each other. They hit and scratch each other then are ok and then back at it again.

If I had a quarter for every “ ok guys cut it out “ I would not need to get on the hateful bus everyday!!!!!!!

The job is still the same, I am still commuting. Going on 4 years now. UG. I hate the bus. Sometimes when I think about it I think I am going crazy. Commuting is my part time job with no pay!! So many hours a day 2 in the morning and 2 ½ in the evening (if there is not long weekend, bad weather, accident, construction) but there are so many other people that do it. Our buses are full. I wonder how they do it.

I started looking for a job in the city where I live. I guess honestly I am not pursuing it as I should right now. I get a bonus at work at Christmas so I want to get that first so maybe after the new year I will make it my goal for 2006 to find a job there……..

Sent my hubby a text yesterday. Decided to try and shake it up a little bit and maybe knock him out of his complacency. Asked him how he would feel about spontaneous sex acts, like if I took him in a room for a BJ. Thought ok that should shake him up. His response was “yahh baby that would rock” Now you have to know my hubby. He NEVER using that expression or wording. I was like oh god, he left his phone somewhere and someone see the text and texted back. So I texted him again with “was that you, weird reply” and I got “it was all me baby”.

Still having my doubts, I asked him when we got home. He said yeah it was me. I said it was just weird how you answered me. He said it is an expression he picked up from his new buddy at work. Apparently this guy has all the girls after him at work and he and Sean have bonded. He said the guys is funny and talks about girls and sex a lot. I am like ok maybe this will be a good thing. Maybe this guy can pass on hits and suggestions to him…. Fingers crossed….

But then Sean says yeah about that text, can we do that Friday. I thought ok there is the husband I know! Honey it is not spontaneous if you plan it !!!!!!!!

I am working on being happy. Trying to find out what works for me and my family and doing that. I guess it is a job in progress right. Just never seems to be enough time in the day…..

Ok well I guess I will close for now as work is calling me….. Queenie J
