Here I go again on my own

Hi all 9 of you!
 When I started this thing, I was seriously angry and didnt know how to manage my stress levels and so writing it down helped. I am coming upon that feeling again, so here goes it.

School is out for summer which leaves me jobless (but only for 3 days) and wishing, hoping, thinking about next fall. I am no longer going to worry about the inevitable. On to other news. My photography business is booming, and I believe whole heartedly that it is because I actually love doing it! DO what you love to do my friends because I am telling you that is the only way to go. Half of me is happy and proud of what I have accomplished but there is the other half that is not. Maybe because I am growing up and I want so many new, great, things to start happening and they're NOT. My life is kinda where it was a year ago just a little more ran down and tired with a lot more on my plate. I want a break from life with just the people I love around me. Lots of love and relaxation. I am hoping things start turning around!
Here's to an OVER-haul.

work where are you?

Note to self,


Learn from others' mistakes. Take a shovel with you when leaving your house! To those 3 people that were stuck in front of us...I hope you got out before midnight and I hope you still have your toes.

To my Papa Bob,

You never know when to take a break. I have a prayer team working in your favor. I love you and hope you get some relief soon.

To all my kiddos,

I miss you dearly. I can't wait till Monday!

Note to self,


1. Why didn't you think of running out into the snow wearing no clothes to make snow angels? Geniuses. (I enjoyed watching that video on Facebook this morning) 2. Make sure you have shampoo BEFORE you step into the shower because it'll make you very upset. 3. Have a talk with your brother again about #2.

To the baby on Rachael Ray,

You're probably the cutest little thing I've seen in awhile...10 points for rockin' that mohawk.

To the "Pink...greatest hits so far" CD,

I want you. You make me sing like a ROCKSTAR.

new approach

Well I thought going along with the "realization" theme I had going, I'd just turn this blog into notes to myself/things. I would also love to include a video blog once a week! We will see how this goes...because while I am watching Julie & Julia, I am so game for this new approach, but...I can only watch that movie so much!

Note to self,

Sometimes you make total sense in your head but then you say it out loud and fail to even speak English. This is probably why your Dad was laughing at your tax speech. I do give you credit though, you worked it out and gained a 400 dollar check! Cha-Ching. Next time you want to make a valid point, write it on paper first and practice a few times! Practice what you preach to all those kiddos. Practice absolutely does make perfect.

To the snow,

I. LOVE. YOU. 3 foot drifts and blizzard like conditions make me want to sing Christmas songs all over again. Thanks for always bringing out my inner child.

To you creativity,

You are just a sticker and 2 glue sticks away from reaching excellence! Valentine's Day is only a couple weeks away...start thinking of what you will do for your love...let me know your awesome ideas!

Holly-days!

Ok so it has been ALMOST a month,  and I haven't touched a keyboard or thought a thought. I am going to try to keep up again. You bloggers, blow me out of the water! My blog has much improving to do. Today was tragic. I had no sleep last night and then after the 5 day weekend, HAD to drag myself to school. I sound bratty when I say the break wasn't long enough, but it is so hard to go back after that many days off! I had a superb weekend and ate lots of desserts. My apple pie "thingy" was a hit and they devoured it before I could say "hey save a piece for me ".  Ok and Christmas is seriously 26 days away or something close like that! WOW. But our family did put the tree up. No lights or ornaments yet, but this is a big step in the right direction! Tis the season my friends...

no picture needed.

Realization: I have nothing figured out and I like it that way. I have ME to look out for. That is it. No children, husband, or mortgage to pay. Why do I need to spend my time “trying to figure it all out”? I don’t want to figure it out anymore. I am going to let it be and come to me. I like having no strings attached. I am enjoying this moment, because you never know when it will change. These last couple of weeks and all the tragedy and lives lost, has made me think about the relationships that I do not want to lose. Tell someone that you haven’t in awhile, what they mean to you.

YOU can.

Realization: Good things happen to those who wait! Everything seems to me turning around for me. I just got a job offer, at Sapulpa Schools. YEAH, 1^st grade! And, my photography side “thing” is getting started!! I love taking pictures. It is such a fun hobby for me. Happy Tuesday ya’ll J
