Being With You

As I sit here, I feel that I have so much to say, but cannot seem to put into words what exactly I am feeling. I mean, tons has happened since the last time I was able to sit and write. Some good, some bad, some I probably shouldn't write about, but I just might.

My visit with my sister and family went well. Although I must admit that I wanted desperately for her to stay longer and just as desperate, I wanted more money to be able to do things with them. My children all fell madly in love with their cousins, big surprise, I know. In fact, our little Piglet has replaced me as her best friend. Imagine? How dare....no. Wait. She's just 3. Bailee is her new best friend and she keeps saying things like "Remember my best friend Billy (she can't quite say Bailee!) ? It's very cute.

Our trip to Disneyland rocked! We had so much fun and did so much that I tried to think what could have topped it, but nothing could. It was awesome. Did I mention that my biggest girl Bean rode on Space Mountain? Yup. You heard me right. She made it over the height requirement (something piglet can't do just yet) and screamed "woo hoo" the entire ride. Unbelievable. I kept panicking and trying my best to scream while traveling way too fast for my age...."hold on to her, Anthony!" When I got off the ride, Matthew thought the ride was awesome and Athena looked at me and said "Can we go again now?" Yeah, right. She is quite fearless...I am dreading each new experience with her.

Our children also have been learning to swim, something Matthew needed desperately. The girls wear their life vests and jump right in. My son (& moon & stars) is doing the same now. I am so proud. I hope that all of them learn to love, not fear the water. I see it in his eyes that he wants to be a swimmer. Chip of the old, grey block, huh? It could be worse. We watched "The Sandlot" together and he also wants to start playing baseball. Yeah! Ok! NAH! I cannot see him signing up with other 8 year old's who have been playing since birth. They are gonna kill him. I will wait and see if he changes his mind, but for now he is a swimmer with a minor interest in the ball and bat game. Go figure. I hate baseball.

Work has been miserable, to say the very, very VERY least. I cannot say that I don't deserve the treatment that I am getting, but it seems that I am also not the only one who should be taking the blame for this stuff. I do not want to get into it until the time is right, but I have 2 words for you.....Monster.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have not been feeling my best. There are things happening with me that I do not think should be, at least not NOW! I will try and ask for a few hours off to go back to the Dr., but given Adolf's mood lately, don't think that will happen anytime soon.

Happy Belated Birthday to the Best Mom in the World...mine! She shares the day with Ringo Starr, who by the way, doesn't look too good for his ripe old age! He he he! She was sick for her big day, which is a bummer....trust me. She has given me everything....life. Her time. Her love. Her money. Her heart and her soul....and her uncanny attention to details. LOVE YA, Ma!

So there you have it. I don't have much to say and a fuel-riddled rant is not what you want to hear right now, I am sure. Take care.....
