Some goals (or something?!?)

I've been thinking about what I'm going to do now that all the kids are in school full time now, and I've come to some conclusions.

1. I need some actual goals!
2. I need to make myself actually pursue those goals
*I have trouble forcing myself to go into uncomfortable situations*
3. I MUST overcome my fears of new social situations and meeting new people
*I'm afraid people won't like me and/or I'll look "stupid"*

So as a first step, last night at work I thought about what I want to do. I have a lot of time to do that since I'm pretty much unsupervised most of the night(3rd shift kicks butt in that respect!). I really thought about what I would like to accomplish. Whether it be for personal reasons, for the betterment of my family, or both.

I got some goals... and here they are in no particular order, although some would obviously have to come before others.


1. Get my driver's license.. (Yes, I'm almost 34 and don't drive, so what!!!)
2. Go back to school (but I don't know for what)
3. Own my own home (renting sucks monkey butt)
4. Learn Japanese (harder than it sounds, and it sounds pretty hard!)
5. Go to Japan

So that's it, for now anyway... these may be changed or updated in the future with no advanced warning!!!

My Baby isn't a baby anymore!!!!!

After a huge confusing run around with phone call after phone call, letters mailed, and several trips to doctors offices and the school, my baby, my last baby started school.




It was a little late, but he started. He likes it and I'm happy that he finally went, but I miss having him home. Except for the period of time when I was pregnant with him, I have always had a kid at home all day. When I was pregnant with him the older 3 were in school, Haylee, the younger daughter had started kindergarten in Sept. and Brendan, the baby, was born in Feb.



So I'm kind of at a loss with what to do with myself on my days off from work. ERRRGGG!!!

I'll think of something I suppose

The Beginning....

In the beginning there was nothing....

Then I typed, and there was something....

I really don't have much to say right now. I'm really just trying this thing out.

Just a few basics I guess. I'm a married (sometimes happily, sometimes not so much), mother of four (ya I know, OMG! You have four kids! Like I haven't heard that 5 million times!). I really enjoy the internet, reading and music. I like crafts such as crochetting, sewing, and I'm trying to teach myself to knit. I would love to learn a second language, but it seems as though I never have the time, with a full time job and the hubby and the kids!

That's all for now!
