It's Monday....

So it is the beginning of a new year and I keep asking myself where did last year go. It seemed that we just started and there was spring and wow I am putting up a Christmas Tree. Now the tree is down (still have the lights outside) and I am making plans for the year. I wonder if making plans and keeping track of things to do in the future is part of the problem. We use calendars on our desk, pda's, cell phones, computers and other electronic devices that tell us about upcoming events. We have all these things keep track of our lives that we are always looking forward to what is next week that we forget about this week. I know, if this week is boring or stressful why not forget about. But I think if we do we will be here next year wondering the same things.

I started off this year without my husband. He left on Dec. 28, 2009 to go to Connecticut for work for a month. Believe me we talk all the time. Both on the phone and online, but it's all those little things that you miss about them. The comfort of just having them there is the big one. You know where you could just turn and talk to them. Or if you are watching something you both laugh together. Yeah those little things.

But now he has been gone for a week. He goes back to the hotel and comes online and just pretty much sits there the entire time. Well it's not as if he has never been in this house but he seems to think that is the same that I do. How soon they forget the kids and all the things that were always there. It just drives you crazy sometimes. He did that tonight, like the kids decided to cook dinner and clean the house and be perfect for one day....lol. That's not about to happen anytime soon and if it did I would be afraid.

And it snowed last night and part of the day today so the vacation was extended into today. Yeah I am ready for the oldest to go back to school, but I still have the youngest two here because I home school. I am actually looking forward to getting back to that because of the structure of the days with them working. But I have got to get them organized with work. I keep list of everything. And I hope they get a little of that. But I don't think you just get it, I think you have to teach it.

So tomorrow I get to try a new plan. The other one didn't seem to work so this year we start off new. The chores are also going to be added into the work day for them. I mean we are suppose to be preparing them for the real world, and believe me those socks to walk themselves to the dirty clothes and they don't wash, dry and fold themselves either. Don't I wish they would.

I will blog and post when I have something to say. I have so many of these blog, but the hubby has my laptop so I can't blog from there where I usually do so I am unleashing another blog on all you. I figured you all needed one more of these out there to either ignore, read and laugh at, read and yell at, or just read and know that we are not all perfect and someone is willing to blog about it that is not in a movie.

With all the facebook keeping track of what we are doing, I think taking the time to just write something that is on our mind and share a piece of ourselves with others. Better than..... I am writing on Facebook, I updated myspace, I am in the bathroom, I just got home. Come on please take the time to think about it before you post it. We don't want to know that you just got home, that you are in the bathroom or that you are picking your nose. We might want to know what is on your mind, but then again......maybe not. I just thought about it, if you are posting that maybe you don't have anything on your mind. Okay that was mean. But let's be honest, we really don't want to hear it.

Well I will leave you all with that to think on. If you are one of those that post that stuff, please, please, please, stop. And if you are the ones that hate..... hope this makes you smile. Have a great one.
