Sunday Randomness

I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted a blog. So I figured what a better time than NOW! :-)

The school year is wrapping up for Aaron. Tomorrow is his last day of preschool and then he prepares for Kindergarten over the summer. I still can't get over how fast he is growing up!! Wtf?! I know he is a little sad about his last day, but I think that the idea of seeing his new school being built, it lures his mind away from being so sad and getting excited! -- This fall Blake will also be starting Sunshine Tots at the preschool that Aaron went to, so we have a lot of work to do with the potty training and binkie breaking this summer! Ohhh boy!

Jay has been laid off since February, and thank God, he is starting a 6 month project tomorrow. Anything is better than unemployment!! So at least it will give us some extra cash for the summer to maybe go somewhere over a weekend or something. I am kind of in "vacation" mode, wanting to go places and see new things!!

As far as me... I am just me. Nothing has changed! lol, don't know if that is good or bad! :-) I am still being with my kiddos, and hoping to start school in the fall. We'll see how that works out.

Anyway, another busy day, another busy night... have some cleaning to do then off to bed!!

Reality of Friendship

So over the course of the last 6 months per say, I have really been analyzing friendships and relationships with people and I've just come to realize a lot of interesting points.

What is the point of friends? To me, it is having someone outside of my family/marriage that I can turn to and vent about things that I can't talk to my family/husband about. Someone that I can get a break from my everyday life with to go do something fun. And someone to confide in about any and everything whether I have told other people or not. It is someone that whenever you are having a problem you can turn to, or whenever you are bored you can be bored with them. 

I am the kind of person that will go out of my way to please others before I worry about my own needs. It is a good feeling to do nice things for people and see the gratitude on their face. And the only thing I ask is for the other person to be a good friend.

As far as my own personal life (family life), everything is great. But when it comes to friendships, it's kind of lacking. I have only had two really good friends over the last few years, just due to the fact that most people our age are single with no kids. But it feels as though I have lost both of those people in some aspects.

Person A, has basically chosen a path that is in the opposite direction of our friendship. "A" has decide to make relations with a person that has a lot of issues and wants nothing to do with Jay and I. So we haven't seen "A" for almost two months, and it really makes me question the validity of our friendship to begin with. Pardon the language, but you aren't supposed to shit on the people that have always been there for you no matter what. Because the day you get shit on, you will be the only one wiping your own ass.

Person B, is just young and naive. "B" is single with no kids, loves the bars, and loves to drink and drive and I have HUGE issues with that. I love to drink once and a while, but getting behind the wheel is just something I am completely against. I may not have saved myself for marriage, but I made the choice not to sleep around before I got married, because I knew the day that I were to get married, I would not want to be ashamed of my past. 

Anyway, I almost feel like I shouldn't have written this blog. But sometimes I need a good venting. And lately, the friends that I always thought would be there, haven't been and it is really disappointing. I am just grateful that I have a husband who loves me and two kids that always entertain me. I love them very much, they are all I need.

Until next time!

The First Month of 2009!

Happy New Year! 

What a great first month of 2009! Obama is finally in office and making amazing changes that hopefully the citizens of this country will soon get to witness and experience. I know the economy crisis is one of the biggest problems.

In following up with my last blog about Christmas. It ended up being a very Merry Christmas after all. It seems like we some how luck out and the kids get a good Christmas every year, so it felt really good

. New Years was another fun adventure. Jay and I let loose after such a long time of doing nothing other than our typical daily routine, and we had a bunch of friends over and celebrated. It was a blast and I took pics! The one above is the group photo, which of course I am not in sin

ce I took it. From the left to right we have; Ed, Kat, Eric, Amber, Ashanta, Jay, Josh, Ashley and Tommie in the front row. Ashley and I of course had to take our nutty pics all night but als

o a few nice ones, here are one of those:

I have been fortunate enough to have Ashley in my life for almost three years. I met her from a neighbor that lived downstairs and we have been friends ever since. 

Anyway, so my New Years resolution was to start going back to the gym and losing all of the weight I gained with my kids. And sure enough, I have actually been going and have lost 6lbs so far! It gets addicting but I am having fun doing it and hopefully will see some major results by the summertime! So watch out all of you! :-)

Happy Reading!
