Anyone else struggling with life? Sorry, I don't mean to be so melancholy. Just a little stressed out today.
I know I've been absent lately, and I hope that I will correct that and get myself back and focused. That's the goal anyways. I haven't really been up to much of anything other than cleaning my house. Late spring cleaning. Next it's time to paint. Between children and dogs my walls are trashed and need a good coating of something new. So, that is a project starting mid-June. In the meantime, I've still go more cleaning to do.
Schools out here, my son is already bored!! That's why my stress level is so high today, I get so tired of hearing "I'm bored!" I grew up an only child, although I had siblings they were all much older than me so I was pretty much alone and I had to entertain myself. Kids don't do that today. They are so used to things being spoon-fed to them. I'm not sure why he is this way, I refuse to treat him like that, yet every summer and school vacation he expects to be entertained instead of using his brain.
7 Things I'm Grateful for:
1. My son - Although there are moments I want to strangle him, I can't imagine my life without him. I love him so much.
2. Chocolate - A nice sweet treat. It's on my mind because I've been helping my sister with her Chocolate Affair (Fete de Chocolate) party.
3. Cell phones - It's amazing how we come to depend on this marvels of technology.
4. Ipods - Again, something I find myself depending on more and more. I LOVE MUSIC!!
5. Old Fashioned Remedies - My little doxy wants to pee in my office. The smell was horrible. Someone suggested that I kill the smell and hopefully that which attracks the puppy to the office by shampooing with white vinegar.
6. Stargate SG-1 - Every year or so I get this inkling that draws me back to SG-1 and I have to do a summer marathon of all 10 seasons. I started a little early this year, but I'm lovin' it.
7. Peace - Oh how I love a few moments of peace!! Right now, right this minute, there is peace. Praise God!!

Hey girl, good to hear yah! I am ok with life right now, but am concerned for my summer. I will have 4 children this summer, my two, my step son and my nephew!! PHEW! Already tired and running out of time for me! And to top it off my nephew needs help learning to read, he is 7 and not ready for Gr 2 at all, so I have some work cut out for me. Stay strong my friend, even the fact that you get a journal in here and there shows that you can still put yourself out there, so keep it up!!

Glad you are back, keep at it, you can do it. As for your son, what seems to work at our house is to just assign him a bunch of work to do. It's amazing at how quickly they can think of something else to do. Don't stress over it, it's really too fast and they are moving away. Have a better day.

Jenn - four kids - WOW!!! So sorry. It's going to be a noisy summer around your house and I'm sure there will never be a dull moment.
Geo - I like that suggestion, I was trying to come up with a list of things for him to do , but honestly, there isn't much. I do have a rule though, if he says "I'm bored!" then he has to read for 15 minutes. When in doubt, grab a book.
Thank you all for the warm welcome back. I've missed this place and I'm so very grateful for FS and my FS buddies.
