She's a Comin

One of the girl's I used to work with is having a baby soon and I laugh a little when I see the things she says about it. She and her hubby just took a crash course in lamaze and they're going to hire some person to help with breast feeding. I don't understand at all how that works. When I had both kids there was someone who came in to make sure they were doing okay with it and that was it. I certainly wasn't going to hire someone to be watching me feed my kid half exposed. LOL! There's info everywhere on it so I don't really see the need I guess, like click here. It's funny how things change and people go about the same thing in such different ways.

Why?

I know we ask ourselves that question a lot but really, sometimes I can't help but wonder about people. Not long ago I was at the mall food court waiting my turn. It was busy and there were people everywhere. I ended up just zoning out while I waited, but I waited patently. The girl at the register was going as fast as she could trying to handle as many customers as she could. There was a lady and a guy in front of me so I knew I had a while because the place I was at cooks the food as ordered. The girl took the lady's order and then the guy's so she didn't slow the cooking line. She went to get some trays from the back and someone walked up to ask her something. She turns to take my order and the lady starts in on her! She just stared going off, no questions, just freaks out. Mind you, I think the girl was in her early 20s, the guy is the same and I'm not that far behind. This woman was at least 60 sand started swearing all over the place when the guy asked her what was wrong. All we could do was stand there with gaping mouths and we're the younger ones! I just really don't understand why people feel the need to be so ugly to others like that.

Get Movin!

I know I don't move much during the day and as much as I want to I can't really find the time right now because I'm so swamped. DH on the other hand really needs to get off his tush and do something. If he keeps going at the rate that he is he'll need like extreme weight loss pills LOL! I'm not even sure how he manages to stay seated when he's watching DD, she's constantly moving so you'd think he'd be doing at least a little something. As for me, I'm to the point where I crave exercise so badly that I might go get one of those foot pedal things so that I can do something while I sit. It's pretty bad I know, but at least it's something. LOL

Isn't it Amazing?!

I was doing a bit of reflection the other day and realized just how many advances I've lived through already in my short life. I had a good laugh when I thought about the first cell phones we used to use with those long antennas, they were HUGE compared to what we have now! Who would have thought that things would get so slim that they challenge credit cards? Even now when it seems we can't get that much more advanced, something will come out changing the entire market again. It's pretty amazing that those crazy stories we were told by our grandparents hold so much truth now. Some of us may still need to walk through the snow but we definitely have more than one toy to play with. LOL!

Grow with It

One thing that I've learned is that there are some companies that I work for who really need to have dedicated hosting. I mean, when you grow so should your business plans and you definitely can't grow your work force and stay on the same scale. I've been going through a lot of technical challenges lately and it definitely can hinder your productivity especially when you have contractors who need to meet personal goals. On the other hand, I've been working with a set of companies who have everything well in place and it's lucky that I can rely mainly upon them and change things up some. I think there will be changes coming for those that still haven't quite realized their growth and it would really be a good thing to get it all situated soon.

Grateful to be a WAHM

My venture of becoming a work at home mom has been a long one but I have to say, I've really learned a lot about myself and the endless possibilities out there. Knowing that I'm capable of making this all work has been the best thing that's happened in recent years I think. There is definitely a new appreciation for money too because I have to work so much harder than I did at the last job I held. Not that I didn't work my behind off there but it's such a different world altogether. There are nervous periods each year because things end up calling for change and things definitely do slow but I know how to prepare for those now so it's not nearly as problematic as when I started. Yep, I think this year is going to be the best yet!

Big-Rig!

One of my old friends has recently become a truck driver. I was really excited but nervous for him at the same time because well, those things are huge! LOL He was really looking forward to it because it would also allow him to travel all over and see everything along the way. So you could imagine my feelings when I heard that he got into an accident not too long ago. Not only is it so soon in his career, I panicked because I wasn't sure if anyone else was involved. Luckily it was with another truck so no one was seriously injured, thank goodness. It's always a scary thing. The only set back for him is that he has to stay where he is and had to get a Texas truck accident lawyer to clear up the mess. I guess it's better that he got this done sooner than later and can learn from it early, huh?

All That Glitters

This year we didn't get too much into Christmas and only put up the kids' trees. It would have been nice to do the lights on the house and gotten a big tree but it just wasn't really worth the burden if we had to leave quickly. I love holiday lights and this year DD really found her appreciation for them too. The house at the end of our street has quite a collection of things on their lawn so she really loves to go outside at night to gaze at them. Hopefully this time around things will be a lot calmer so we can actually enjoy the season,

Forgotten Again

Some times it seems something out of an episode of Hoarders at our house. It's not nearly as cluttered and chaotic but every now and then we'll find random things that we never knew were there. This Christmas we were supposed to bring along my great aunt's utensils that she had left during a previous holiday gathering as well as this jacket we had found while emptying the hall closet. It seems everything is black in there and we had no idea that my cousin's jacket was in there for like three years! She left it during a combined birthday party I had for the kids when DD was ONE. Of course we forgot again so it will be a wonder if that jacket is still in style by the time she gets it back. LOL!!!

Happy New Year!

Well, the holidays have come and gone and it's a new year already...time sure does fly. I'm really excited for this year because I feel like I can really make this year different. One thing I've realized upon review is that I ended up letting things run me rather than me running them, a mistake I do not intend on repeating this year. I have both of the kids' birthdays to deal with this week and after that I'm free to get on my goals and get this party started! I know despite what comes of our house or any other things I can't control going wrong, I will be able to handle anything and everything that comes my way. I'm going to make sure this will be the best year I've had in a long time!
