Life

Life seems so complicated at times. There is always something that needs to be done and somewhere we are suppose to be going and sometimes I just want to go to my room and stay there in the quiet and not come out until I'm good and ready. But, I suppose that would get quite boring after a few days and I'm more than positive I wouldn't recognize my house when I came out of my room.

Why is it that children need to be told over and over again when they spill something, clean it up, if you drop it, pick it up and the imfamous "everything has a place" so put it there....aaahhhhh!!! I remember saying years ago that I was going to record myself saying these things so that I could just push a button instead of saying it over and over again.....but I believe even pushing the button would get annoying. But as my mother told me....it is an age old problem. Apparently my father use to say to her "when are we going to be able to stop telling them these things" and she informed him that it would be until they left the house for good. :-) I'm thinking that is how it will be. When they finally have a house of their own and they don't want wet, earwig infested pool towels on their floors or toys and notebooks on the floor. And they don't want to step on toy racecars in their bare feet in the dark and they possibly care if their clothes are covered with dog hair.... I'm thinking then it will finally register. But until then I guess it is my job to be a "broken record".....and wow is that an old phrase.

I remember having to explain that one....that is when you know you are old. Record? what's that? Time flies and technology is flying faster....look out!! All the devices from my childhood have gone by the wayside....the 8 track, record player and cassette player, wow!!...polaroid camera, instamatic camera, super 8 movies......even camcorders are on their way out.....wee ha!! hang on folks, I have no idea what is coming next. Actually I have a little idea ;-)

Well that's enough topic jumping, mind shifting for one morning.....have a great day!!!

What's up with that?

Does anyone sense a theme here? I just looked back at some of my other blogs and saw that the majority of them happen in the wee hours of the night... ;-/ hmm, I guess it's the only quiet time, uninterrupted time that I have to capture a thought of my own. The rest of the time is "run, little Liza, run" as my mother would say. I'm feeling sleepy, time to try to go to sleep before it's time to get up.

Awake again!!!

Why, I ask am I back to randomly not sleeping? I really do like sleep, I Do, I do, I DOOOO!!!! O.k. so tonight wasn't so random...the big thunder boomers came to town :-) and my son got shook from his bed apparently and right into ours. I have to admit that one shook the house pretty hard. So eventually I coaxed him back to bed and then tried to go back to sleep, but no such luck. I realized that because of the lovely fibromyalsia (don't even know how to spell the disease) was making me hurt, so I got up and took ibuprofen, tried to go back to bed and was tossing and turning so I gave up. And, here I am. Facebook checked, email checked, now what, I thought.... I know I'll check out my blog and to my surprise people actually commented on the last one. I about went into shock. Terri, I have no idea how to tell people I have a blog. So for now you and Jena are the only ones reading it....and I struggle with, do I really want everyone on my friends list to read it....I better have a few more clever thoughts before that happens. So for now the days events are playing through my head already. And what a long day it is going to be. I just had a thought...I should go get my Bible and read some and try to close the gap of the grand canyon crevise between God and I. I seem to be in one of those places. So on that note.

God bless, thanks for reading and have a grand week. And you might be surprised by blogs coming closer together. :-)

SUMMERTIME AGAIN!!

Well here we go.....starting off a very busy summer. I look at the calendar and just cringe. But I know it will be filled with lots of family togetherness and I'm sooo looking forward to my hubby being a big part of it this year. He is done with classes and almost done playing the drums, so we get to have him around more. So we have drivers ed for the oldest every day of the week for two hours a day and her work hours at the Childrens Farm and baseball one to two times a week for the youngest. Amy's activities will have to wait for fall. If I have any need to do anything, I will have to squueeeze it in somewhere.

One of my latest consumptions of the mind, is quilting. That is, at the moment. I tend to have some attention deficit problems and can't seem to stay on task. I usually have so many projects going around in my head that I don't know which to do first. And so many "to do's" that NEED to be done. List making is something I'm getting better at but have not perfected. One of the things I'd like to do more is this blog, but can't seem to find the time to change the background, think cleaver thoughts, or even tell anyone that I'm blogging....does anyone even read this thing? probably not, because I don't do it enough. So that is going on the list....tell people about the blog, think of interesting things to write about... hee hee...I'm cracking myself up. And, I think I was talking about quilting....maybe this blog should be called "diary of a victim of A.D.D." or "diary of the focus deprived".
