Communication

Can't move forward without the ability to communicate needs, wants, hopes.  It seems like such a simple thing until it is time to actually do it.  I am ready to hide in the closet - good thing we don't have any that are big enough for me to fit in!

Birthday

Today is my birthday.  We had a fun evening with Dylan entertaining us with his science experiment trying to disintegrate the biodegradable peanuts.  I hate my birthday, not because I am getting older but because there is all this pressure that it is supposed to be fun.  I just want to do what needs to be done and maybe sit and read for a few hours.  That doesn't sound like fun but to me it is relaxing.

10 Years from Now

So after 55 years it is time to take charge of my life and think about the future.  It seems there may be 45 years to go and somebody needs to be in control.

Where do I want to be in 10 years - work wise, home wise, happiness wise.  I guess I want to be wise!  That would be a first.

I started going to the gym 4 years ago this week.  Not any thinner but not any fatter.  Got educated about nutrition and now the eating in this house is way healthier.  Still lots of sweets and sugars but trying really hard to eliminate everything that is made with chemicals.  Totally have to find some gum that has a good flavor and no chemicals.

In the dream land of my mind I would like to live at the beach and be an artist the result should be a happy life.  The big problem is that I am not an artist and the 2nd grade volunteer hates the beach. So I am going to take a polymer clay class at Adult Ed and I'm going to work super hard to start going to the polymer clay guild and get some positive art influence in my life.

I am going to get the house clean, the bills paid and start all the sewing projects that need to be done by July.  Maybe that is the the job for me???????

This is like the lottery - you can't win if you don't play.  Time to get the toys out!
