A few things have changed....but thats just me.

Since I last wrote, I have changed a few things...... First of all, The whole diet thing...well I was the first to backslide on that one, and here I thought i was the strong one of the family...he he. Well, Its like this; I cannot monitor what my son or BF does when I'm not there...and my daughter is at her fathers on the weekends...so therefore I had good reason, (hey, at least let me think it).. Plus I think "I'm" addicted to sugar, Do you know there is NOTHING to drink without sugar in it.. ( well, to suite my taste anyway) besides WATER??? yuk!! Second thing I've done....I'm sure you all have seen "Nanny 911"and"Worlds Strictest Parents"?? well i thought Yeah right... when i first watched it, but I'm now addicted. I have tried a few of their pointers with my kids....It really works!! especially on the episode when the nanny tells the father he is invading the child's comfort zone and she makes him sit on the floor and draws a circle around him and steps in close and starts yelling at him.....he said his first reaction was to fight back....but when she stepped back out of the zone and knelt down he said it was a different feeling and he now realizes how that feels to the kids. (i don't stand over my kids anymore and demand anything....that episode got to me too) Well, then they all talk about chores.....I always thought this was never going to work either...but i was wrong. (ha ha)... So I made up a chore list for my kids (ages 4 and 14).... and they love it!!..(they didn't get that from me..he he.) I guess it make them feel more needed in the home. Let me tell you, They are a HUGE help to me. I never thought it would ever work but when my son comes home from school now, he jumps right in a starts cleaning. They get stickers for every job they complete and at the end of the week they get money. They cannot wait to put those stickers on the board. Bryan gets $10.00 ($1.00 extra for every "A" paper he brings home) and Breanne gets $5.00 BRYAN'S LIST... this week total earned...$12.00 1. Clean living room (includes dusting and sweeping) 2. Clean bedroom (put away clothes, vacuum on Fridays) 3. Clean bathroom 4. Take out trash daily 5. Homework (if no homework...I make up some.) BREANNE'S LIST...total $5.00 1. Clean Bedroom (put away toys and clothes, make bed) 2. Dust dining room 3. Pick up laundry and put in laundry room 4. Help mommy with dishes or fold towels I have noticed a big change in these kids, they don't argue through the week and the house is always clean, and all I have to do is clean the kitchen, cook and laundry...hmmm that's not bad at all. I am so proud of them, I can't get over how these kids can clean...they are good!! Never underestimate a child!! The third thing I have changed is my hair color...I went from very blond to very brown...ughh.. I actually like it... but it is different, I have red roots and brown ends..ha ha! I had to change something!!...I have rearranged my living room around so much this year to where i can't change it anymore without it being somewhere its already been...I have already changed the kids from being lazy to hard workers and good kids...i don't want to change man ...so i just changed my hair, kind of ...umm..a different me.... that makes sense doesn't it? I told them at the hair Solon I wanted to go brown because i was having way too much fun!!..ha ha....the brunette i told that to didn't think it was to funny. But i did!! Well I had better end it there.....i just woke up at 2:30 am because "I" seem to fall asleep when i am putting my daughter to sleep lately!!!!! I get aggravated when I fall asleep early because i am a night owl....9:00pm on a weekend ...asleep by 9:00!!!.....welp...there went my Saturday!!! I just can't take it!!...ha ha. Well....I'm ending it here...thank you all for getting up with me...even though you weren't here, it felt like i was talking to someone... even though everyone was asleep here.

The power of prayer

 We were taught, as kids, to pray for things the we want to see, have or what we want to turn out. So many prayers seem as though they go unanswered but God will only grant you what you see yourself worthy of. Imagination is a powerful thing. Everything we see that was built by man started in a mind first, a dream, or a desire.  God is our father. If I wanted to give my child something they longed for and they turned their head in shame as though they were not worthy of it, it would break my heart. How would I know they really needed it if they didn’t ask for it or seen themselves worthy of having it? Turn to your father, ask for forgiveness, not just because you have done wrong but ask for forgiveness that you feel the shame inside, the regret, the missed opportunities that you gave up. Ask for forgiveness that you never had faith that God was leading you all long and you ignored the blessings because someone told you that you weren’t worthy. Know your worth and give thanks t...

Everyone wants to be rich...Just another complaint session..ha ha

I was watching  " How'd you get so rich" and it got me thinking....ha ha..here I go again thinking.  I really don't think I would want to be rich...yeah maybe have a little extra money to play with, but to be a millionaire or billionaire...no!!  In order to be rich you would have to take money from someone else, like people  who are hard working, living paycheck to paycheck, or people paying for something they will never really own. The Lottery for instance...some people spend several dollars a week on the lottery in hopes to be rich, or just a few dollars richer...they (lottery) are making a killing off of that few dollars a week...The same goes for these gambling places...People spend their whole paychecks on a machine!!! They are not stupid!!...you can't get rich from those machines...but I'll guarantee that they are getting rich from your hard earned money!!! The $100-$200 pair of jeans...come on people don't tell me you spend that on jeans?? ...

I Miss Me!

 It's been almost 6 years since I last wrote about anything.  So much has happened since then.  I love to write, not saying I'm a novelist, (one of my unrealistic goals), but to me, it's the same has having a conversation. I love to talk... about life, dreams, the unknown, how life works and why things happen or exist.  I really enjoy figuring out complex behaviors or solutions to ailments.  Long story short...I think I just enjoy learning and understanding.  Somewhere in the past, I left myself behind.  Who am I now? where did the old me go? why did I change? I would describe my inner self as caring, funny, creative, artist, crafty, fun, talkative, loved to dance, write, talk to anyone kind of woman.  (... that word alone makes me feel old...but 'girl' is too young and "lady" is too proper to describe me lol...Ugg) anyway... I was that person, not so much anymore. I tend to shy away from being outgoing to more reserved or "shadowed" is a better ...
