I'm alive and well

     Hello friends, I know I've been away for a few days--not sure if you noticed or not. I needed a few days off, I've been working so hard trying to do so much, and putting everyone on the back burner including my kids, my family,friends and even my animals.
    And that's just not right I know. Work should never ever come before any of you. I get so wrapped up worrying about if I'll have enough money for everything and I guess that's normal but a little extreme I have plenty to pay for everything they need-if not everything they want.
    And let's face it kids shouldn't get everything they want handed to them, it makes for very spoiled, selfish bratty children! And all of mine are! Well not completely they all have their good sides too.
    Anyway I needed to step back and look at the big picture. As Rick pointed out I am in my office and on the computer more than I'm out of it and that's just crazy! In my defense they also have to realize that just because I work at home doesn't mean I am available every minute of the day. I do have to work too.
    I get like a dog with a bone when I start a project or anything really-housework, gardening, work I just want everything to be perfect and let's face it that's hard to do!

    You know I feel the worst about neglecting my Woman to Woman forum- I've been popping in and answering but not giving it my full attention and that pisses me off because it's important to me and it's a good place for women to go! Thank goodness for Knoty and Sinead holding it together while I was going a little crazy!
    I just want everyone to know I'm back on track and determined to separate all the many parts of my life back into the places they should be. After all there's more to me than just a business woman: Mom, Wife (yes we're back together and doing well), Daughter, Sister, Oma (Grandmother) and Friend. We all have these many parts of ourselves and we have to figure out how to do it all without letting anyone down and I know I have this last few months. Just so many new changes in my life (let alone more kids).
    But I WILL conqure all these different responsibility's and do it well--I hope!
    I gotta go-I have to take my brother Jim's wife to the Doctor, then go watch Ricks grandma so his mom can get out of the house, I need to make a Doctor's appointment for me to find out what this half of walnut sized lump is on my neck, call Gloria's doctor about her prescriptions, make a Dr. appointment for Hayley and Gloria for their physicals---it just never ends does it? I need a second me or a wife or something! I wish I knew how every other woman does this without going banana's!
    Until we meet again........ 

   It really is a great place to go when you need someone to listen to you, need to rant or just some support www.woman2woman.freeforum.org

        Hello friends, I was wondering how you get everything done? I feel like a juggler trying to keep all my balls up in the air. Husband, kids, college, getting new business off the ground, keeping the house clean and all that goes with running a home (cleaning, laundry,cooking, grocery shopping,etc.) making time for friends and older children who live on their own,pets, oh and ya me.
        When I list them down here it doesn't sound like that much. I do have a organized home that's one of my 'things' I can't stand not being able to find something. I don't watch T.V. any more(no time). And I don't know if it's harder for me because on top of all that Gloria has so many Doctor appointments and with the social workers and lawyers meetings it all just seems to much. I know I'm being whiny, I was just hoping someone had some tips, or suggestions because I know we're all busy.
      Despite what it might sound like I am feeling better and my stress level feels better, even though Jon got mad and ran away from home last night. Usually when I don't know where he is I panic, but not last night. Don't know if its because my system just couldn't take anymore or what but when Brock found the note Jon wrote and left behind I was like OK, whatever. He'll come back. My acting that way freaked out Gloria,Brock and Hayley so much that they went out looking for him. He was in the shed. My life is CRAZY. How did I end up with all these kids?

       Veronica got edo today (which means the hospital patient level was low) and didn't have to go to work so I didn't have to watch Jaxton, but I'm going to spend time with him Saturday.
      I'm kinda excited about the Blog Hop today. I probably won't get to go to very many of them but still it's kinda cool seeing other peoples blogs and how they decorate them and what they write about. It's kinda like looking into someones medicine Cabinet or being a peeking Tom! Not that we would ever do anything like that! LOL!

      I found this picture on my computer when I got home from getting my hair done, at first I was going to yell at them for being on my computer, but then I just laughed. That's Hayley, Brock's friend 'Fluffy' and Brock. What can I say? Crazy kids. Yesterday Dave, Ricks brother, came over and I saw something I never noticed before. Hayley looks just like him! Where my husband is blond and blue eyed Dave is dark haired and brown eyed (and very good looking, plays music like Rick, but isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and is a druggy).
Could him and Katie um, had relations? Probably, they both did drugs and drank to much. Would she have told me? No. So I don't know, does it change anything? No, I wouldn't let Dave take care of a plant. She's mine now and really she has been since birth.
     Well it's early here and I usually don't blog this early I just had a need to talk without any one hearing I might blog again tonight. Until we meet again.........
