Soooooooo Busy.....

If you had told me 5 years ago that I would be working part time (instead of full time), attending school for re-training and in the midst of planning a high school reunion - i would tell you that you are out of your skull!

Well ... here I am...working part time (8 hours in 4) and 7 weeks away from finishing my Event Planning re-training course and 26 days away from my high school reunion where I, along with 100 of my friends will celebrate our 50th birthday's....

I have sleepless nights, I have a dining room table filled with everything from my laptop, a binder of pictures, bristol board to do up signs and collages, tid bits of paper reminding me "to do" things, glue sticks, colored markers, picture corners etc etc etc.

When I come to work...I think of all the hundreds of things that have to be done...from finishing the painting in the hallway at home, to cleaning out the spare room closets of clutter, to picking up silent auction prizes, to getting a hold of the few stragglers of attendees, to dropping off brochures for work, and contacting businesses to host a coffee break (Alzheimer annual fundraiser).....forget about the weeding of the gardens, and doing something with the rotting vegetables (tomatoes & cucumbers), to the regular stuff like laundry and groceries and paying the bills and oh shit...I forgot to put gas in the car this morning...and Randy needs $ for gas in his truck and ARG!!!!! will it ever end.

Now I am not looking for a gold star but just 1 day off....TO DO NOTHING.....and not to worry that if I do nothing I'm going to feel guilty....lol

Anyhow...I look at it this way....the tomatoes will rot...oh well,
the weeds will totally consume all gardens...they will wait
the reunion will happen in 26 sleeps
school will be finished in 7 weeks
and it won't be the first time I forgot something
cuz right now....I'm working at the best possible place....The Alzheimer's Society...lol

If I don't forget....I'll chat again soon!

Motherhood

A thankless sometimes unrewarding profession.
Sleepless nights of worry
Fretting over their decisions
Not liking their friends...
But in a heartbeat you look into their eyes and know that they are good people;  they love deeply as you have taught them, they are respectful (most of the time) and they are basically good people.  Wow I did something right.  They might not always do as I would but they stand by their convictions.  They have good morals and values and I know that they love me - and if I needed them...they would be there in a heart beat.
I love you

22 years of wedded bliss......

Wow....I can hardly believe....I have been married to the same man for 22 years...I told him we could do it...but in the beginning I wasn't sure....
We share 3 beautiful children, 2 dogs, 2 cats, a mortgage and all the other ups and downs that accompany married life.
I wouldn't change a thing....for if I did...where I am right now would not be here at this moment....I have learned so much about myself, about being a wife, a mother and a good person. 
Thank you Randy for 22 years
I love you now more than yesterday. Cathy
