So much going on, where do I start?

Best news: I GOT A JOB!! A real life, full time, job! All I can hope is that this means a better 2012 and remainder of 2011. My hope is to have enough at the end of the month to be able to not worry about not paying things, enough to start paying back some money owed and to have a little left over for the essentials that come up. After all, I foresee a very expensive year coming up for Taylor.

Speaking of which, the kids go over to school next week to pick up their registration packets and Taylor has his Sr. picture taken on Monday evening! I can't believe my baby is graduating in June of next year! *sigh*

Meghen broke her wrist while dancing. I has just said to another mom, "Mary, you don't want to watch this" when not five minutes later Meghen walks up to me with an ice pack covering her wrist and says, "it hurts really bad". After taking one look it was obvious that it was broken. I calmly told her things would be fine, we'd just drive on over to Mission Hospital and they'd set it and everything would be fine! We were lucky enough to be walked right to the back, in x-ray within 5 minutes and out of the hospital completely in a little less than three hours!

It's diet time again. Diet time makes Jacquie very NOT happy. It's not so much the food, but doing without the soda, my only form of caffeine. *sigh* I don't do well without soda, but I know it's one thing I just have to let go for a while. I'm hoping that within about 30 days or so, I can start with a coke or so a day again, but we'll see. Want to see how the diet goes. I really hate dieting, but I hate not eating what I want more so I diet when need be and then wait and see how long before it creeps up on me again. Probably not the safest method and not the best for my body, but it usually takes about 2-3 years before I have to diet again.

Must say that surprisingly it hasn't been difficult living without my phony nails. Although I had them for 20 years or more, I find that I don't miss them as badly as I thought I would. My own nails aren't pretty yet, but they are actually getting there.

Seems that the mosquitoes are eating me alive this summer. Odd. I have rarely gotten bitten in the past so I'm trying to figure out why? Could it be that I've gotten sweeter in my old age? bwahahahahaha. And they are bad ones too! Big, ugly red welts! Damn insects!

Well, that's about all for today. Was looking back on past years of this blog and realized I have a whole lot of life in here somewhere. I really should back in all up! I really should. I've been blogging since late 2006, early 2007....that's almost five years! Five years of life, good and bad! Really is a great remembrance and diary of life!!
