Seasons change

We all change as the seasons do. Every time the season changes people amongst us change as do we, we grow whether it be in one direction or another we grow and evolve.   I first noticed this is my mid 20's and as a woman in my 30's I often give people that are not yet 25 the advice that you will change so much from the age you are now until around 25-26 years of age. I feel that is the key # for most people and that it occurs more frequently than not. I thought that in my early 20's that this was it, this is who I would be for the rest of my life. WOW! I was wrong on so many levels. I have matured, gone through a lot of pain and change, some of it self induced, other was unfortunate events that led to me growing and becoming the person I am today and thought that I already knew.  As I sit here today there is a new season that has been heavy on my heart and I am ready for that change in my life. How I voice my thoughts and opinions on other loved ones around me is kind of scary. I do not like to be vulnerable and express my true feelings head-on. I need to stand up and go forward with this and make sure that I can get my point across and get the ones who love me to understand and support this new season in my life, our life.

It's Friday!

 

We made it to Friday! Here we are going in to the weekend! Everyone that I have spoken to this week were all looking forward to Friday.

Busy as ever and strolling through life with a smile on our face. It will be nice to slow down and take life in stride. We are all expected to go, go, go in life, never slowing down. It seems as though you need to have your kid in 3 different extracurricular activities to fit in with the rest. What ever happened to organic learning and being happy with playing outside with your neighborhood friends?

 

Our weekend in a nutshell 

 

Jacob has flight lessons this weekend, he is trying to wrap it all up before the Holiday Season is in full swing. I am so excited and proud of him for this huge accomplishment. He has always dreamt of being an pilot and now he is seeking out his dream! We should all push ourselves a  little more and pursue our dreams.

 

I plan to entertain the kiddos with making a homemade banana pudding and cleaning up a bit (what kid doesn't like to cook and clean?). Now that we live a little further out and away from all of the conveniences in life I find myself staying home more often and doing more things that I had always wanted to do but never made the time. Now that everything is further from me I have buckled down and my creativity and ideas are coming to the surface.

 

 

 

 

JUMP

We always need to remind ourselves of this. As we are going through life and aimlessly walking the line we find hurdles that sometimes we think are impossible to jump.  Everyone should at least try, if not then why settle for the cycle of the unknown?  Anything is possible if you put your head in to the game. We all have second guessed our ability to move forward with something. Why hesitate......live your life fully and pursue the greater things that you think are impossible.

Dreaming.....

It happened to me for the first time

I had typed out a post earlier tonight and hit a wrong key and BAM! it was deleted, no where to be found right before my eyes.  I will most likely put it all back together tomorrow or some time this week when I have the power to keep my eyes open for more than 10 minutes.  Until then au revoir!

My brain is broken

TIME AFTER TIME (enter Cyndi Laupers voice) I try to keep this little space updated.  I keep meaning to stop in here and pour my heart out to anyone who might lend an ear, but then life grabs me and shakes me around. I am going to try this again...... and see where we go. I enjoy sharing my style likes, daily rambles, crafts, food that may just hit the spot, you get where I am going with this, right? 

We are coming in to the Fall season and the weather will soon change, with that will come some style post. Stop by for upcoming post on all things fun!

Au revoir!

Sunshiney Day



Sadly enough when days are dark and gloomy you have to create your own sunshine. Think positive thoughts, and to be happy and content with what you are currently handed in life! HAPPY thoughts people, happy thoughts.

Killing them softly

I encountered the relentless efforts of debt collectors yesterday. TO say the least I was not aware of any debt's needing to be paid. I only found out through an attempt from the collection company. I did not dispute the charge that they were inquiring about, it was an apartment that we had rented while our house was being built, that we just moved out of, 30days ago!

 

I was unaware of the collectors and this debt being an issue, I was trying to have the apartments reevaluate the bill and make adjustments. There were a few items that I did not feel should be on the final bill. LIKE utilities from Nov-Dec....HELLO people we are in April and I moved out in March.  Apartments are scam artist at their finest. So, moving on when they call you, they are out for blood, sweat and tears. They do not care what they say or how they may speak to you. THEY ARE JUST THERE TO BE A-HOLES!!!  Point made. YOU have succeeded you rude WOMAN from WA. How do you sleep at night?! I am sure she is some sort of haunted soul fighting to escape.  She got the best of me and  I get emotional when I am angry, I cannot help it. I have tried my whole life to fight back the tears and well, my emotions always seem to win. DANGIT, why me and these sensitive emotions. From here on out I will try and stand up, for what I believe in and not be bullied or let my emotions of tears show when I am being bullied. I will start to "Kill them with kindness" 

 

 

 

Sorry

 

 

 

My bad habits.

 

When I was young, let's say around 10-12 years of age, I found myself constantly apologizing (repeatedly saying that I was sorry).

I would say that I was sorry over and over again. Not until my twenties did I then realize that it was one of the worse habits ever. NEVER should you be sorry. apologies, yes, sorry, NO.

When my mom passed away in 2009 people would say that "I am sorry to hear" it then hit me how it sounded and then it reminded me that I had this habit as well.  Maybe this is just me or the handful of people in my lifetime telling me not to be sorry. I never understood what those wise people meant until it was me standing there taking in the I'm sorry. 

 

Sorry I'm not sorry

 

 

 

 

 

 

This could be bacon......

I waiver the time to sit and do this thing....we all know as a blog. I read over 30 blogs a day and have/make the time do so. Why can I not commit to my own space?! I will make the time and promise myself in attempt to have my own space, something that is mine and something to be proud of.  I would love to fill this SPACE and not leave it lingering around waiting for it to vanish or rot.

So, here is to me starting over, fresh, new......to follow this a current text from my almost 11 year old daughter as she was going to bed last night.

Emma: It's to hot I feel like bacon.
Me: ........

I had nothing in response to this because that was by far the best complaint to date about being hot.
