Mental Disorder update....

I just wanted to let everyone know that:

• I never found my wallet, but have finally started to build up another...I got a new drivers license which is a good start...
• I have not lost my phone in like 3 weeks...hallelujah!!
• I never found my debit card, but thats ok, it helps me to keep from spending money..

Also:

• My husband officially thinks I have serious issues with my Twilight obsession. He pretty much blew it off before but now with New Moon coming out, my craziness has escalated and he is starting to look at me funny. I guess I need to keep it on the lowdown and take down my life size poster of Edward thats hanging in our closet.
• Kaelen is doing an outstanding job at being better. We are micro, micro, micro-managing his school life, so as of this moment, he has no zeroes and has done his homework everynight...he is also getting more privileges outside of school, such as talking on the phone and getting to go to the movies with his girlfriend...things are looking up! keep us in your prayers....
• I am looking forward (NOT) to Christmas shopping this season, I look forward to it every year and cant wait to be at Target at 4am on Black Friday to get a $10 camera....

Now that the New Moon ridiculusness has faded (somewhat), what shall I become obsessed with now? Some would say I should become obsessed with laundry or dishwashing..but, as you can imagine, I have a few strong words for those blasphemers....any ideas?

Crazy

Tonight, my 3 nieces are spending the night so their parents can have a night out. They are so sweet, just precious to have little girls around....but put them all together, with my 3 (and yes, even the 15 year old joins in) and it gets very loud....Chris cant handle it as well as I can, I tend to tune them out like I do my own.......we had pizza and they all helped me to make cookies, which they ate within 2 minutes of them being out of the oven....and the rest of the time they all spent chasing each other around....sigh

I think I am going to have to go see New Moon again tomorrow...a friend of mine is going and invited me...I am really needing my fix, its so sad...I thought the movie was great, but do remember some cheesy parts...I really need to get another look to catch all of the details I missed the first time...

And of course, I am so behind in work, I think I will probably spend much of Sunday trying to get caught up before next week..i will be out of the office starting Wednesday, so i really need to get it together....

Life is Hard

OK, Life is really hard and I am tired of it...





Raising a teenager is the worst pain I have ever experienced...it is brutal, self-deprecating, awful, painful and many other adjectives...I think I would be less upset about it if I didnt know I had to go through it 2 more times...girls have to be easier, or maybe it is just different with them, not necessarily easier....you have heard people say it and now I know why - And people wonder why animals eat their young...





Finances suck....I am currently taking Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. I highly recommend it to every single person I know, whether you have your money in order or not. I believe this is going to change our lives, but it is going to be very hard, it is going to require a lot of discipline...therefore it is going to suck





Work is highly overated....I like it to a certain point...I would rather work part time at Petsmart and be home more with my kids....





And last but not least on my complaints for today...I am yet again posting a picture of myself because some things never change..

More craziness

OK, most of you know how big of a Twilight fan I am...so in case you have been living under a rock somewhere, you know the second movie, New Moon, is coming out this Friday! Yippee! I am quite excited. I am going with a co-worker and her son and am also going to bring Haden - I am taking him out of school and bringing him to work with me, as I am only working a half day and leaving from there...we are going to have tons of fun....

I was also able to borrow the CD of the soundtrack from my sister in law so I have been prepping by listening to some great new songs..I am also re-reading New Moon for the third time...I must have everything refreshed in my memory for the movie.

Since I havent been blogging very much, you havent been able to see any new pics of Robward...so here ya go..

Oh yeah, there are other people in the movie too...

I am in moan/groan/complain/bitch mode today, so beware....I dont feel like I bitch too often, so I think I should get a chance everynow and then.





Last night, I walked out of my office at 6:15. I should have been home in 30 minutes. I did not walk in the door until 9:00. Bad accident on the freeway, so yeah, I bitched and complained even though I had already found out there was a dead body lying in the road, which was the reason for the halted traffic....I actually got a few chapters from my Dave Ramsey book read while sitting on the freeway. I confirmed the existence of such previously mentioned dead body when I exited the freeway only to see the body under the sheet myself. Appears someone was on the side of the road or tried to cross the road, actually, the freeway and was hit and killed...sad..but come on! How long does it take to remove a body from the road! They still had the freeway shut down after 10:00 when I watched the news!





My allergies are visiting me again, feel like crap..hopefully it isnt the flu which should not be named..having to work from home...





Work is bugging me about some time I entered wrong.....cripes, I hate having to deal with time and billing, such a pain...





My house is so friggin dirty, why wont anyone come clean it for me!





Kaelens school is being an a-hole....wish I was wealthy and could home school..actually, scratch that..I wish I were wealthy and could send them all to a very fine private school...





I was up at 2 something this morning and couldnt get back to sleep until around 4...so that helps my mood considerably....could not find any meds in the whole friggin house for my allergies.





I have been working on the same project for a month now at work and its driving me crazy! I wish it would be final already!





But even with my complaining, I have so much to be thankful for:





My family


My healthy family


A job I like


A home


I wasnt hit by a car on the freeway yesterday, but lucky enough to only be stuck in the traffic it caused

Havent lost my phone since I found it last


And the pretty pink cups that I got from Pampered Chef that I have been drinking coffe out of for a few weeks...

OK, I have thought some on my previous post....

We will continue to instill our morals into our boys, to teach them to be respectful to all adults and teach them personal responsibility. They will continue to be punished when they are disrespectful and break the rules. They will be taught that they are not entitled to anything. They will learn hard work is what gets you places and you should be thankful to God for what you have in your life. They will be taught that life is precious and your actions will have consequences. We will do our best to do all of these things for them so that they are respectable, productive and hard-working men, so that they are respectful, generous, faithful and lovong husbands and fathers, so that they too will one day pass down these lessons to their own children. We will teach them these things, but we know that they as individuals will have to choose their own path. But the one thing we will not do is give up on them and allow them to treat others as if they are less than them, to disregard others to the point that their life means nothing.

We will do our best as parents to do these things and whatever else it takes for them to being decent human beings.

Despicable..

What is our world coming to...

What is going on with our kids..no respect, no morals, no concious? Is it parenting? Is it society? Is it violence on TV and video games? What is it that allows kids to think it is ok to gang up on someone and beat them to death? What makes kids think it is ok to take a gun to school and shoot everyone up because a few kids made fun of them? Are they not being taught coping skills? I have to know, I have to know how I can keep my boys from doing the same thing, how do I raise these boys to become respectable moral men?

As a parent of a teenager, I can't imagine him doing something like this, but I am sure these parents never imgined their son would be involved in something like this either.....I am glad these "kids" have been charged with murder and I hope they get the maximum sentence allowed by law...it is sickening and so disheartening to see young people in this country doing such horrendous things...
