Thursday 13- things I would change


What’s the Thursday 13?
The Thursday 13 is a weekly meme with a simple theme: each Thursday you blog a list of 13 things. What kind of things? Any kind! Just come up with a list theme and run with it. One week you may list “13 things on my mind” and maybe the next week you’d list “my top 13 favorite movies”. Or maybe just go through the alphabet--“13 Things I Love that begin with the letter A”, etc. That gives you 26 weeks of ideas!
Whatever is on your mind.

Today my 13 things are....things I wish I could change
(I'm not gonna get political/worldly on ya..I get too much negative feedback when I do. Keeping this strictly personal)

1. my bank account. It definitely needs to be a lot fatter

2. my daughter's cheering schedule. She's booked for the next 8 Saturdays, which means she can't go to her dad's any of those weekends....and 4 of those games are out of town...and I really do not do the whole traveling sports mom thing well!

3. my feeling that I've disappointed my boss. Long story, but she caught me at a week moment, changed her mind about something she'd asked me to do, and now I feel like she's disappointed in me. I hate that.

4. the carpet in my house. It needs replacing so badly.

5. so does the wallpaper in the game room bathroom. It's black with jungle print. I hate it.

6. and a new sofa is needed, too.

7. Heck..let's remodel the whole house while we're dreaming!

8. my car. I do not like it. I thought I would when I got it. I don't. and it'll be awhile before I can trade it.

9. my boys visiting schedule. I wish I could see them more.,

10. my kids attitude towards each other. They fuss with each other so much when they are together. I wish they could get along better.

11. my phone. I need to upgrade. another thing on the wish list.

12. my husband's health. I live everyday dreading the possible heart attack/stroke that's waiting to happen to him. It's coming..I know it is... just don't know when.

13. my parents' health, too. Daddy is on oxygen 24/7. Hasn't worked in 12 years. Mom is blind and now going deaf thanks to Retinitis Pigmentosa, and now has tremors caused by some sort of neurological thing. I hate to see them like that.

So...now that I've shared how utterly pitiful my life is..(haha)...What would you change?

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
