Mother of Future Star

My son is 6 soon to be 7 and he wants to be famous. His wants to starte his own band as act to. Anyway, thwy had the grand opening of the new Nickolodian Theam park at the Mall of America. They had the Lil JJ from Just Jordan, Miranda Cosgrove from iCarly and Nat & Alex from he Naked Brothers Band. He was so excited we stood in line from 11:45 am to after 3 to get autographs. I was so tired but my son was happy and it was free. The kids were all very nice and we ended up eating dinner at Ruby Tursday along with Miranda Cosgrove and Nat & Alex. They were sitting right over the wall from us and actually spoke to my while they were waiting for their food. I hope they don't end up like a lot of child actors, drugged has beens.

Life Goes On Good & Bad

It's been just over a year since my mother died. I still miss her and sometimes have to catch myself before I pick up the to call her. A lot of things have happened since she past and not allof them have been good. I got a promotion in February that was good. My husband lost his job in Febuary that was bad. He is a disabled veteran so he still gets compensated. My six year old has been diagnosed with ADHD. He has always been very hyper but now that he is in the first grade his behavior has become disruptive to the other students. He was also molested in our own backyard by the neighbor boy who is Autistic. What he did was expose himslef to my son and then fondle him. The boy is almost 18 and his parents have to put him in a home.
I have been traveling alot for wek these past weeks. I have been out of town two of the past three weeks and will be leaving again on Monday the 5th. This past year has been hard and I am hoping and praying that the next year will be better.

I'm Back-Again

It's a long while sice I have posted and so many things have happened over the past year, my mother doed this past October. It has been a difficult time for me. I am an only child and having to suffer the lose of my best friend has been hard. My husband's mother dies in February, she was an alcoholic and a drug user. Her life style was less than appealing an we expected her to pass soon. We did not expect the himicide investigation, she was robbed and beaten inher own apartment. She had a lot of drug activity going on, they took everything except the pictures of the grandkids off the wall, sad.

We have been having some major up's and downs but what can one do but keep going.

I recently came back from a work related conference and while there a taxi driver propositioned med. He asked if I was a faithful wife and mother? I was not their looking for a man but if I were it would not have been him I must give him credit for being blunt ask and ye shall recieved, that line has probably gotton him a lonh way over the years.

Questions

If any one is reading here a few questions for you.

1) Do you believe in reincarnation?

2) Have you been here before? If yes, have you been more than once?

3) Who or what were you in your past life/lives?

4) What makes you think you have been here before?

5) Do you think you will be back again? If yes, is it because you have not fullfiled your destiny and discovered your true calling?

Long Time No Blog

Well let's see, we have been in our house for a few months now. All is going well, my husband still have not finished painting but that's ok we have not picked out all the colors any. We did have a patio built and will probably have a deck added next year.

We are taking a family vacation in August, going to Disneyland in California, I pray the big quake does not hit while we are there.

I still work for the government even though my agency claims to be broke and we have been told we can't even order post it notes. We will have to take a collection to buy basic supplies.

I had an interesting conversation with my co-worker today about past life experiences and the like. It was very stimulating a thought proviking. I will create a question blog ans see if anyone answers.

What's been happening?

Let's see I turned 35 on February 15th. Not mush fanfare just a quite day at the spa. Registered my son for kindergarten. We are trying to get him in enrolled in a Spanish Immersion School. We bought a new house (built in 2001) and will be closing on Monday 3/6/2006. I can't wait to get out of our apartment. Of course I am working almost everyday at least I am showing up for work. I may not be working but I am in the office. Take today for instance, I have spent the last two hours reading and sending personal e-mails and now blogging. Besides that not much has been going on.

Happy New Year

I know it's almost February but I have been busy or lazy or maybe a little of both. I have had a lot of interesting ideas, thoughts and feelings but lack the motivation to put them put there. We are in the process of buying our first house here in Minnesota and that has been taking up a lot of my time. My son will be five in may and we are trying to get him into a language immersion school this fall. What a pain that is, we are out of the district and they have this lottery system. Is it worth it? Yes.

I am also the new chairperson for the EEO Committee at work and I can't believe how narrow minded these people are. I have my own issues , I mean there are life styles issues that I personally disagree with but it's not my place to judge people. I am not GOD. These people are getting on my nerves. Equal opportunity my ass.

"Tis The Season"

Remember when we were kids, the Christmas season did not start until after Thanksgiving. This year I walked into a major department store just before Halloween and they were putting up a Christmas tree. And the constant commercials buy this and that. I have a four year old who loves to watch cartoons. During one 30 minute cartoon they show the same toy commercial every 10 minutes. My son wants everything he sees and half the time we don't even know what the dang toy is. The anticipation of seeing all the holiday displays and lights buying gifts for friends and family used to be fun now its just a pain in the ass.
