Ok... this is turning into therapy for me to write on my blog. I seem to do it only when I need to vent. I will try to keep this positive.
As I struggle to get things done in my house, I am constantly becoming frustrated with the lack of progress, help, and continual interruptions! Some days I think it would be easier just to light a match and start all over! (Ok.. ok.. not so positive... changing my course!)
I have prayed to find answers to the biggest problems and I have discovered that I need to just lighten my own load by paying someone to do what others are not able or capable of. I'm calling a plumber, glass shop, and a/c place today! Then, I am making myself spend one hour every evening straightening SOMETHING! So far, so good.
So... stay tuned... exciting things are coming!!!

It is 4 am and I am wide awake! Actually, I was wide awake at 2:30 am... I have no idea why.
So, I thought maybe it would not hurt to update my blog, and get some things organized in my office/sewing room.
I found Cameron's birth certificate, which I needed to get him into Disneyland for free on his birthday. I haven't told him yet that we are going. I think he will be very excited.
I was just looking over my daughter's (Nicole - TJ's wife) blog and catching up with the goings on in their lives. We miss them and Matthew's family terribly since they all moved to Utah! Terry is determined to move there in three years when he retires. But then, I will miss Andrew and Marissa. I don't think I like that everyone has to move so far away! I understand it, don't begrudge anyone for it, but I don't have to like it! lol
Life has been drearily busy; from work to getting rid of junk. Terry bought a shed so we can get rid of the POD in the driveway and hopefully find our way to a junk free house one day. Some times that just feels like a pipe dream, but I am determined. (I just discovered that when I have insomnia, I'm not a very positive person-sorry... will try to step it up a bit in the next post).
I am going to now try to get some more sleep. Good Night all!

New Things!
Ok, yes... it takes me some time to incorporate new things into my life, even if they are good things!
I've had a week to contemplate a lot of 'things' in my life. I caught a cold virus from my grandson, Cameron, and it knocked me down flat. I've been sleeping, coughing, and sneezing for over a week now. It has been too hard to read with my watery eyes so I have spent my waking hours contemplating what I need to change in my life to have a more healthy and happy life.
First thing of course is the obvious: Lose weight. This has been a major challenge for me these past 12-13 years. But, as I stated before, it takes me a while to incorporate new things into my life. I have started an exercise routine (minus this past week of course) which is helping me tone my muscles. I plan on adding walking to the routine as soon as I am completely well. I also have been taking vitamins daily and I'm hoping all of this will help to keep me healthier. Also, I am trying to get in to a better routine -early to bed, early to rise. So... here begins a new chapter in my life!
We had the elders for dinner Sunday night and I asked for a blessing because I was feeling pretty sick that day. I was told that Heavenly Father has 'allowed' certain things to take place in my life but for me to remember that 'everything' has a purpose and that I was to trust in Him in ALL things. The blessing was a confirmation to me of what I was feeling before. He has told me that all the negatives in my life have a purpose and I just need to do what I know is right; keep trying to set the example to my family, and all will work out well.
So.... trust I must! (This has always been an issue for me as I learned early on that people are not always trustworthy). However, the Atonement is a wonderful tool we all can use to set things right, to heal broken hearts, to right the wrongs, and to head back in the right direction. This life we are living was meant to be lived. To be tried and tested and ultimately find our way back to our heavenly home.
