I'm Back, I'm Back again!

Hey ya'll!

I have been in hibernation from blogging. I really stink at this. I'll let you know what has been going on. When I started this blog, I had soooooo many ideas, but lately I have been using my brain for good instead of evil! Idk, if have no excuse this time. I have been focusing more on school and kid raising lately. Then there was this one time I focused on job finding for a day or two. I seem really ambitious don't I? Anyways, I wanted to answer the question that everyone asks me, "How do you do it all?!?!" Some ask in awe, some ask with fear and dread of having to manage what I do everyday. Well lady and gentleman (I know I have a small audience. So what!), My answer is I don't. Seriously, I am a procrastinating, take life as it comes, [insert witty phrase] kinda girl. As a mother and a student this makes me insane. Yes. I said it. I am somehow still maintaining a 3.5 GPA, my children are still wonderful; according to their doctor, they always have great skin (not sure what that means), and no one has starved or suffered any injuries. The truth is I don't know how I do it. I just do it because I have to. No one will do all of this if I don't! So I suck it up, mumble under my breath and keep going! Anyone who tells you being a stay at home mom is easy, is a damn liar! Try it for one day. Am I ranting? Didn't mean to but it was on my mind.

Mommy stuff:
When I think of my grandmother, one of the things I think of besides great down home food, is her affinity for making the best of bad situations. My mother told me one year she put together a a bathing suit using a t-shirt and old spandex shorts. She sewed it together. I have no idea what this design looked like. My mom said embarrassing! All I know is that my mom still got to go swimming even though the family couldn't afford to buy a new swimsuit. My Nana's favorite word was improvise. "You have to improvise" This is something I will always take from her because they may not have had everything they wanted but they had what they needed. I will always improvise when I have to! That's a good mama right there! Next week I'll tell you about my box/ sled from Nana of course, lol!

Missed me?...... Anyone?!?!?!

Hello to my one reader out there! lol Thank you for patiently awaiting my next post. I really took a long time to recuperate from my daughters birthday party. Geeeesh! I just wanted to take time to vent. Being a stay a home mom can get lonely and a toddler can't really hold much of a conversation. I just have a lot of time to think and I get really down when I think about how many people I know vs. how many people keep in touch with me. I had a big group of friends once and nowadays I feel that the number is dwindling. I don't blame becoming a mother. If they were real friends, they would be supportive of me and try and find ways they could help out, if needed. Most of them did not. Then they want to blame it on the changes (kids) in my life. Well I've come to realize that sometimes you have to go through something to see who your true friends are. True friends are there through thick and thin, richer or poorer (and even when you work too much to see them). True friends know when you need help and don't hesitate to offer before you ask. To the people who have disappointed me, I am not a spiteful person. Should you come to me and extend your friendship, I will not reject you. Just know that we are not in the same place. To the people who have ALWAYS been there, I love you. Words can't express what you mean to me and my sanity lol. Even if we don't see each other everyday we talk through facebook, aim, or whatever. I appreciate all of you. You'll never know how much you've done just being there to talk to.
