So, I often check livejournal, but never really seem to post mostly due to the fact that I realized I was censoring most of my thoughts and to me that somehow defeated the purpose of online journaling. But today I noticed it had been 51 weeks since I last posted and I just had to post something before it actually passed the one year mark.
I find it hard to post when most of my time is taken up being a mom, working, going to school, or playing the online game I have now dubbed my evil-addiction. I think it may be almost as bad if not worse than other addictions I have had.....it just costs less.
It is summer and way too hot for me to venture outside much so I have been hiding indoors as much as possible which is turning my kids into lazy couch potatoes. Lack of money and creativity has inhibited our summer activities, but then sometimes I think back to when I was a kid and the kinds of things I did over the summer. Many days I spent lounging around the house and I think maybe we put too many expectations on ourselves as parents to constantly keep our kids busy with things.......what happened to the days of playing house and make-beleive? Things have surely changed since I was a kid.
Took the summer off from Rollins for financial reasons, but am looking foward to graduating in the fall of 2008. It will be nice to be facing a new future career-wise.
I will be celebrating my 6 month wedding anniversary this month. Can't believe it has only been 6 months. Feels like an eternity(not in a bad way). We should just give ourselves credit for the 6 years already served....LOL
Morrissey in 2 weeks is my next outing. We don't really enjoy hanging out downtown and getting wasted anymore.....so that has certianly affected our social life. But not really in a bad way. Maybe it has to do with getting older and maturing. Ya think?
Kids are healthy for the most part and growing so fast. Can't beleive my oldest will be driving in 5 years. Scares the shit out of me actually. I often think about having another baby, but then the thought disappears when I realize the way that would affect the lives and lifestyle my family has grown acustomed to. It would be a huge spread in ages and somehow I don't think it would be beneficial psychologically to upset the balance my kids have. Not to mention, I would like to have a real career and travel. Don't think I could handle all night-ers anymore. So my selfish daydreams about another baby quickly subside when I realize I have done my part as a breeder with 3 great kids.
Who happen to be bugging me for the laptop and so I must go.......
Oh, and curse you i-phone, so shiny and new and financially unattainable.
