Finding my way

I really need to start posting again. I forgot how much I enjoyed being able to use this as an outlet and being able to read other posts. I was always a bit jealous at some of the others that I follow as their ability to come up with interesting topics always amazed me. Mine are boring to say the least but being able to put thoughts/feelings down without judgement is a wonderful thing.

I've been doing alot of self discovery lately. Although I may not have liked everything I've discovered so far, it's brought me to a new place in my life. Feb. 3 I have an appointment with the admissions people at the Tech School in my town. I'm going to hopefully start taking generals then go in to the nursing program once my daughter graduates high school. I'm terrified and excited all at the same time. Considering the fact that I really sucked at high school, I'm not totally convinced that I can accomplish this without my head exploding but I'm willing to give it a shot. I might look stupid wearing the helmet but at least it would keep the mess down.

I'm also counting down to Feb. 21st. That's the day 10 of us leave for Cancun for 7 whole days. With it being so freaking cold in MN lately, I'm really anxious for a beach, and ocean and alot of sun. And a few of them umbrella drinks wouldn't be so bad either!

My two legged kids are doing well. 16 and female can make for a lethal combination in our home but we are working through it. 19 and male....well, he's stubborn like his father (nothing like me what-so-ever) and there are days I would like to put him through a wall. But all in all, they are great kids and just keeping their mom on her toes.

No the four legged kids are a different story. Lucy, who is the oldest, is the most hyer but she doesn't go potty in the house any more. Chops, the boxer is a total shithead and is asking to be eliminated from the face of the earth. Billy, the mini weiner dog is quite possibly the dumbest dog I've ever met. At nearly 6 months old, he pees in his bed and lays on the puppy pad. Goes outside but then comes in and potty's in the house. Wines excessively while in his kennel and barks at the cat, whom is the best behaved 4 legged I own. Chops and Billy will be going under the knife Tuesday. I almost did it myself but decided to have a little mercy on them and made the appointments with the vet. Lucky for them they are so cute.....not really but I keep telling myself that.

Still working, no dating, hangin with friends....that's life in a nut shell. No funny stories, no intersting topics. But I did want to thank the ladies for giving me a little feedback on my previous post. I will update you by saying that she has decided to go to prom with another boy and then go out to dinner with my son after. At this point, I have opted to take the silent approach. I will not get involved and I told her mother I feel it's best if she doesn't either. They have been going out long enough now that they need to work it out together.

She's going to prom with another boy?! He better be a gay boy.

P.S. I've missed you.

Good for you on the self discovery! I have two great (and not "self help" preachy books ) books that you may be interested in reading. They've done more then help me lately in my recent quest for self discovery.
