52 in 52...Book 2 review...

I forgot to post a review of I'm a Stranger Here Myself after I completed it. I was not all that thrilled with this selection sadly. This book was a compilation of the faults of the American society written by an American man who spent 2 decades living in England and then moved back to the east coast. While there was some witty humor, I was left unimpressed. *sigh.....

More snow...

*sigh...I guess that's what you get when you live in NE USA in the winter time, eh? I thought for sure we would be good for the rest of the winter but I guess I was mistaking. Oh well...such is the life. Not too much going on here today, I had a full day of teaching the crew in that went pretty well, a little bit of a rough start this morning, but after we got back into the groove it was great. I was feeling the motivation that I needed to get a lot of things done and I am pretty excited about our new adventure.
I slacked off on blogging yesterday...I know I know...but I have been keeping up with both blogs daily and....it's been a decent amount of work. I still went to dedicate this blog to my lovely hot button topics that I LOVE debating over...so I think I am going to start blogging more of that stuff here. I just need some decent ideas.  I have one started on traditions and then another on socialization...so...perhaps I will work on those.

As for pic...I took some today on the pocket camera again...ugh...and it's still acting up when uploading.

Lazy Day....

Wow...I don't think I did anything at all today. I did my yoga routine on the Wii, hung out with Dawson while Matt and Kyley went to karate, watched some TV, played more Wii and blogged a bit. Sounds super exciting isn't it? lol....not much to report. But I did get pics to work....here are a few catch up from my 365

 

Day 5

Day 6

Day 7

Day 8

(yes I realize this is a cop out picture but I did take it today. lol)

Today's pic....

 

I think that catches me up...and I have decided that I am not up for doing 365 of me....*sigh...

Snow day.....

Lots of snow feel here, though I am sure not nearly as much in other parts of the US. The kids enjoyed their time out in the snow and it sure was a pretty site. I took advantage of the kids being outside to rearrange furniture in our "school room" and the kids bedrooms. Tomorrow the rest of the house is in store for a nice cleaning.

My laptop is still acting up so I am not able to get pics yet.....I am hoping to spend more time with my computer tomorrow to get it fixed. Not much else to really report.

A week of Blogs.....

....well today marks the one week mark. :) woooohooo! Though I don't really have anything blog worthy. Kyley had auditions today and she feels that she did well, she auditions again next week and then parts are given out on the 21st. She is pretty excited about it. :) Though she told me today that she doesn't really want to play the lead.

Matt and Dawson are both feeling a lot better than they were so that's a bonus. Matt even picked up some of the responsibility today by taking Ky to theater and picking her up and taking her to karate, which Dawson skipped because he is still coughing. He is NOT happy though because he hasn't been there at all this week and it is weapons week. *sigh...poor guy.

I had a nice heart to heart talk with my friend today and I am hoping that things will clear up after this. Right now I am still not sure where we stand...mostly on my part, but who knows what will come of it.

Not much else to report other than I still haven't been able to do any uploading, I promise that I am shooting though. I will have all the days I missed up and running. I think I might need a new card reader.....or just a new computer. ;)

I Just Wanna Be Happy.....

This is a great song that I feel like I am relating to at the moment.....

Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose you cant have everything
Don't you take chances you might feel the pain
Don't you love in vain, cause love won't set you free
I could stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by
So unhappy, but safe as could be

So what if it hurts me, so what if I break down
so what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Just I'm just trying be happy, yeah
Just wanna be happy, yeah

Holding on tightly just cant let it go
Just trying play my roll, slowly disappear, ooh
Well all these tears they feel like they're the same
Just different faces, different names
Get me outta here
Well I can stand by the side.... ooh no
And watch this life pass me by
Pass me by!!

So what if it hurts me, so what if I break down
so what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
Cuz I'm just trying be happy ....  happy ooh

So any turns that I cant see
I'll count a stranger on this road
But don't save it down, don't say anything

So what if it hurts me, so what if I break down
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about other pain in front of me
I just wanna be happy (yeah) happy, (yeah) happy
I just wanna be ..
I just wanna be happy...
ooh Happy

Drowning.....Day 6

...in sickness......in stress.....in frustration....in life in general. Have you ever felt like you just couldn't keep your head above water, well that's what I feel like right now. I have been dealing with everything with my gram, despite the fact that I have a more than competent uncle who actually freaking lives there, trying to pay her bills, handle her doc visits, plus make sure that everything that needs to be in place for her is in terms of help and everything...meanwhile I still have a house to run here as well...paying bills, dealing with doc visits, and basic running of the house all while schooling the kids at home and dealing with the teen and her dad drama. (Which BTW on that front, he called today acting as if nothing happened....being nice as pie to her.....*sigh...this is when if messes with her head the most.) So we will see where that goes....

I haven't been able to get back into the groove of schooling, especially with Matt being home all the time....and now he is sick...ugh ugh ugh. He really needs to get back to work so that we can get back into our routine. He really throws things off considering he wants the TV on all the time...it's like his life line...and then Dawson can't seem to focus. So....the sooner he is back to work the better.

I am also dealing with a lot of other things that really need sorted through. I would really hate to lose a very close friend because of what is going on. I hate feeling betrayed and deceived....so...I am not sure what is going to go on.

 

Anyway.....

again no self portrait...or 365 my camera is not uploading right now for some reason and I didn't have time to mess with it much today. I promise to mess with it and then edit the posts.
