TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iva at the Park

I look so forward to the weekends, I get to spend 2 whole days with my kids! I love it. Yesterday I took off early and after Iva and I brought the babysitter home we went to the park, it was so great! We def need more mommy & me time. She was so giddy happy, I took some pics with my phone....of course the day she decides to pose for the camera I don't have it! lol, oh well.
Ivan wants to be in boy scouts now, I have to call and see if there is a troup around me so I don't have to drive far....and see how much it costs, but I can't imagine too much?
Well Friday is finally here! woo hoo! I got to work on time, packed the kids lunches and such before I went to bed last night and then studied for my upcoming test. Man I REALLY need to pass. Got to get some work done! I miss my babies already, I soooo wish I could stay home with them!


Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them. ~John Shirley

A Normal Life....Is it too much to ask for?

I just want to be able to be myself, raise my kids and enjoy it. I get so frustrated but I guess it's a part of life. This morning I just broke down in tears...again. He frustrates me sooo much! I'm at the point in my life where I know there's more out there and I want it to be better but I don't know how to achieve it. I've gotten through the first step and that was breaking up with him, but now I'm in a well and can't climb out. I guess I can't expect it to be ok all at once, I've got to give it time.
Man, that sounds like a downer day. I am in a good mood, believe it or not! lol
I can't wait to get home to see my babies! I miss them!

I like to be a free spirit. Some don't like that, but that's the way I am. ~Princess Diana

Great Day

What a great day, I don't feel sick anymore....knock on wood. I woke up on time, Ivan got ready for school without a fuss, Zack picked up the babysitter without me asking and I got to work on time, and when I get to work I have an email from my boss saying she's out today! Life is good! I am really getting nervous to take this test on saturday....I need to pass, I can't afford to have to take it again! I know I just need to relax and take my time with the test. I hate tests!!!!!!
Well I'm going to study for a bit and then run home pick up Iva and we go get Ivan from school. I hope she's in a good mood today, she's not been herself lately.

Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. ~William Shakespeare

I'm Having an Emotional Day...

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then. ~Katharine Hepburn

Well at work again, feeling a little better today, Iva decided to stay awake until 11p last night, of course the night I don't feel good and need the rest! We had a good night though. The kids were in a good mood. Ivan was pretty good and went to sleep without any problems and Iva was happy as can be, and being goofy!
It's so windy here, the chairs at the tennis courts are being blown over, we are supposed to get some more rain, which is good, we need it.
I really don't feel like working but I have so much to do. Better get to it!


I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. ~John Burroughs

Here we go again...

I woke up at 1am, feeling all achey and with a slight headache. I went back to sleep but when I got up at 5am for work didn't feel much better. I feel wierd today, I must be getting sick...which sucks. We all just got over the flu not that long ago.
At 5 I heard a banging coming from Ivan's room. His hamster Sparky, was trying to escape! He had used his house as a stool and then proceded to climb on his hanging water bottle, back legs on the top of the water bottle and front legs hanging onto the screen at the top of the cage trying to chew through! Omg! seriously if that thing escapes, there won't be any help for him!

I have been desperate to escape for so many years now, it is routine for me to try to escape. ~Jack Henry Abbott

New Rainboots....

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

I had an accomplished weekend

My last day of my very rare 3 day weekend. I feel so accomplished. I bought a new kitchen sink today and went grocery shopping. I hate other drivers here, they don't care and would run you off the road in a second!
Waiting for Iva to wake up, I hear her in there talking but she hasn't banged on the wall yet to tell me she's ready to start the day! Ivan is playing quitely....for a change. He's wearing his new camo rainboots saying he wishes it would rain so he could go jump in puddles.
Well off to start cleaning!

You get whatever accomplishment you are willing to declare. ~Georgia O'Keeffe

My first time

I am joining the blogging community today! This is a first for me. I'm very tired, my kids are in bed and I need to be 2. Just had to stay up late enough to set this page up. I had such a late night last night (yes, out drinking), and had a great time! But didn't get to bed until 4am. Until tomorrow......

All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time. ~Ernest Hemingway
