BUSY...

-

I have looked at this page a few times lately and have tried to think of what to write. There just is not much time to get things into words that justify what I feel somedays ..so an update list of my thoughts lately might work best.



1. My mother is still ill, obviously. We needed a medication for her that was only available in Japan . We did everything we could to get it for her. She is now taking it and doing well. She said today she felt better then she had in months.


2. The kids...Scott has been accepted into 2 law schools as of right now. Still waiting to hear from 10 others. We are so excited and proud of him. Taylor has changed so much. It makes me sad in many ways to see my daughter become a person I no longr know. I hope it is a phase and she will find herself again. regardless, I Hope that she knows I love her so much I can not express it. Cassidy is doing GREAT! Over the SILLY boy and she has realized that there are many other boys out there. She also has come to see that people ( and their families) are not always who they claim to be. It has been a learning period for her and she now sees she is very strong and does not need his strength, she has her own. Brady is the same as always bright and sweet and funny. What a great great child.


3. The bad economy has effected so many people and it hurts to see everyone I love and know strugle in one way or another.


4. My ex husband is still the person I depend on most in the world. He still to this day has NEVER let me down. I sleep well at night knowing he is always there for me.


5. I am starting my own company. I am making home made all organic food for dogs. So far it is a hit with all testers. If you want to try some out for me let me know! I will be calling it "don't make me beg".


6. I love my neice and nephew as much as I do my own children. Those are not just words. I really do.


7. The holidays go by so quickly now. I miss having little ones to shop for. Grandkids...someday.


8. I measure time in the death of my father. I find that when I try to remember when something happened, I place it in time to when my father died. I ask myself if he was alive or if the event happened after his death. It makes me sad to be without him.


9. I need to remember to take more pictures of my family. I am so terrible about it.


10. I need to write on here more so that I do not resort to lists.


I hope that everyone has a wonderful 2010...we all need it!

I Made the Life I was Dreaming of My Actual Life  So let me talk about my move to Hawaii and what it is all about. If you are new here, I am 55 years old, mother of 4 grown kids and grandma to 6. After 23 years of marriage, I decided that I needed a life. A happy life. I was tired and unhappy and decided it was ok to put myself first.  Now, I did not just leave my life and move to paradise. I spent about 13 years getting my degree from  Southern New Hampshire University  online while I worked full time. I moved to michigan and I also built my career. I work for  Little Unicorn  and I love my job and the company. I will get into that in another post because it deserves its own post.  After my kids were married and settled and done with school, I decided that I was going to build a life for myself. A single woman in her 50's can start over. I spent a few months selling everything and I mean..everything. I sold my car, my clothes,my dishes, books, my furniture, all of it. I looked onl

Missing people and the feelings that childhood brings

 It is always so surprising to me that a simple song can come on Spotify and I feel so many feelings. Rocky Mountain High by John Denver came on and I instantly thought of my aunt Marie ( AKA Re-Re). She was my mom's little sister and I spent a lot of time with her growing up. I miss her. I miss her under 5 foot frame and her over 6 foot tall personality.  I hear Hotel California and I think of my sister Lisa. She is the second of the 4 sisters. I am the 4th. Lisa and I have never been really close. I have so many memories of her music though. Elton John                 ( especially Rocket Man), James Taylor, The Eagles etc. I remember her smelling like Blue Grass perfume and her pale blue Honda Civic. I remember going to a Libertarian rally with her when I was probably 9 years old.  She seemed so sophisticated and worldly to me at the time.I thought she was so cool. She loved Burt Reynolds. That was weird. Little River Band is my songs for Lori. I hear it and I almost feel sad. I

IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME...

So yes I have ignored my blog for a year. I guess I assume nobody is even reading it so why bother? I decided to do a quick recap and just sort of ramble... I have a new job. It is great. I am working as a Legal Assistant at a law firm in Logan. I work with the nicest people and have learned a lot. I still have a lot to learn but I am sure it will all pull together in time. I moved. I left my 5 bedroom home and downsized to a townhouse. It is really pretty and very upgraded and I am loving the big bathtub and fireplace. I have a nice little grass yard where I have my patio table and we eat outside often. Oliver likes the yard as well and he has more freedom since it is fenced in. Cassidy moved out and into a town-home in the same development. She is living with friends and working in a salon doing hair. I am so proud of her. She has sure grown up this past year. Taylor and Josh moved as well and are in Logan for another year.  They both graduated from USU in May. They will be goi
