Son is passionate about his games and game guides

My youngest is so totally into the video games, whether it be Nintendo, PlayStation, XBox or any other ones that have come out lately that I haven’t yet learned about through listening to him go on and on about with such excitement and joy. He is really good at them and I do believe that their is a learning value that goes along with the entertainment part of it, but we won’t go into all of that right now.

I’m glad that he is passionate about these things and happy that he has found something that will keep him busy and happy for some time.

1st Day of Summer Vacation

The whole house got the opportunity to sleep without any alarm clock going off this morning, up until 9:45 when the phone ran, which was picked up quickly by one of the kids upstairs. The house was quiet once again and one by one around noon, you could hear the opening and the closing of doors, and the toilets flushing and some dishes rattling here and there.

It was a nice way to spend the first day of our kids official summer vacation, too bad the phone had to ring, but at least it wasn’t too early.

Cheer on!

My daughter has just brought to my attention that she wants to be a cheerleader at her school next year and try outs are in a week. I was a cheerleader in high school myself and it actually helped me academically and sociably, so I told her that I’ll be cheering her on, because I think it would be a great experience for her and give her a chance to meet new girls and maybe make some new friends. I cant wait to see her cheering at games next year, I know she’ll be great, she so flexible and very talented in dance, so cheer leading should be a piece of cake for her.

I’m so happy for her

My best friend has just moved here from Maine and is just getting settled in. Within a few weeks she has met one of my close guy friends and had started dating him not too long ago. She seems to be in a happy little world of her own, which makes me happy, because for a while there she thought she wasn’t going to find a good guy the treated her right and all, now shes happier then she ever imagined. I’m so happy for her, I hope she gets everything she ever dreamed of.

Daughters new job

My daughter has been working at the mall for quiet sometime now and has been looking for other work for the past 2 weeks. She has a girlfriend that just had a baby girl 4 months ago and is looking for a babysitter for when she is at work herself. She offered the job to my daughter and she is now going to be babysitting for great money plus she still has her job at the mall. She is making bank, close to what I’m making myself. ugh! You go girl!

Girls night out!

I was thinking that tonight being a Friday night, that I was going to stay home and watch a little bit of TV and relax. Well one of my girlfriends from work had called me a few hours ago and wants me to go out with her to a nice bar/restaurant with two other girls from work.  Well I haven’t had a girls night out in a long time, so I had no idea what to wear, so I asked my daughter to help me pick something out to wear that’s casual but formal. As soon as we got to the mall, she dragged me into an awesome store with beautiful night out outfits all around. I wanted the whole store, but my daughter within 2 minutes of searching brought me a beautiful baby blue night dress with Rhine stones that went around the neck, and my first thought was “Yeah right! Maybe 20 years ago!” But I went into the dressing room and tried it on, and come to find out I wasn’t disappointed at all. I looked in that mirror and felt 25 again. When we came home, I tried it on and did my makeup and hair and went out to show my family I got a response I wasn’t expecting from my husband. He had said how beautiful I looked, and wished me to have a great time with the gals, and my daughter was smiling like she was proud, and my son was surprised. So now Im off to a great night out and enjoying the company of 3 wonderful girls whom I never thought would even talk to me, just for the fact that they are much younger and Im much much older. But I do believe Ill have a wonderful time tonight, and maybe get a few good friends out of it too.

Crazy Weathermen

We are trying to make plans for the week-end but the weathermen won’t make up their minds.

At first they were saying that it will rain on Sunday, then it changed to Sunday evening/Monday morning, now they are saying Sunday again, ugh, it makes it hard to plan things this way.

My youngest wants to invite her girlfriends over for a sleep over and I would like to take them to the park and possibly go creek walking with them. We love finding a creek and then walking in and around it while following where it takes us, we have been doing it for years now and the girls really enjoy it. We find all kinds of interesting things along the way and the girls get to see first hand how awful people are about littering, the creek is almost always full of all kinds of trash, which makes us very sad indeed. It ends up a learning experience for all of us in some way or another it seems.

Youngest is a “Pre-teen” OMG

My youngest daughter is now 12 and is considered a “Pre-teen” and today it really hit me.  Last night she asked what time I was scheduled to work today and wanted to know if she could come along with her two friends so that they could go malling together.  I am not interested at all with her going malling, the mall isn’t the safest place for young ladies, but since I will be there and one of the other girl’s mom will be working there also I decided to let her come, along with her friends.

I was at the cash register which is in the front of the store where I can see what is going on in the mall.  My three girls where there waving at me and then walked away, just a few moments later I see three boys, all much older than 12, take a second look at the girls and then they turned around to follow them.  When I saw that I freaked and went out into the mall to make sure that my girls were safe, and that is when I realized that my baby girl isn’t such a baby anymore, she is developing into a very pretty young lady, and it scares the *&%#@*% out of me.  Her two other friends both have started developing a while back, that is O.K. with me, but I just am not ready for mine to be going through all of that, next thing you know she will be starting her monthly period and I will surely have a hard time dealing with that.
