Hello...


It's been way too long now. Not much has changed. Yet tons of things have changed. Both of my kids are in high school now. That's huge! Babygirl went through a couple years of Hell and I am so glad she is starting to grow up. Littleman isn't so little any more. He stands 5'11". He had a great awesome wonderful year last year. He had a direction and a drive that was unstoppable. Both kids went to Panama for the summer & came back changed. She for the better and he for the worse.
All his drive and direction seems to have been replaced with the need to be a slacker who wants to get high, get layed, play video games and fail. IMHO he is heading down a slippery slope with very little chance of turning it around. *sigh* He was on the drill team last year and took them to nationals. He was riding that wave of goodness. This year I can barely get him out of the bed. He refuses to go to drill but wants all the benefits it brings. I don't like him very much lately. I hope that changes soon.
She seems to have realized that sneaking out, bad behavior and general rebelliousness doesn't get you anywhere. She is now on the drill team and is involved with her very handsome commanding officer. "Spark" happens to be a little younger than my son but with a lot on the ball and a wonderful future. Good kid, good family, good grades and a great smile.
My job is going good for the moment. I hope we are able to stay afloat through Christmas. Hubby is wonderful as usual :)
Just please let my son be going through a phase and please let this phase be over really soon.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FOLKS!


Sorry my posting is so few and far between. Life is happening around me... We are heading down to my mom's house for TG dinner. We invited a couple to my parent's house, that's kind of strange but it is what it is. He is a friend of my husband from Panama. My oldest brother won't be there tomorrow because his stepdaughter has to work and they don't want to leave her alone. I understand, but I will still miss him. I am making corn casserole and mac & cheese. The hubby is making empanadas. Let me tell you...my hubby CAN COOK!!! He's handsome, smart, kind and can cook, did I luck out or what!? We are packing the car tonight and rolling out bright and early.

We are having issues at work and I can honestly say that I have a job today. I can only hope it lasts. It is not because of the lame excuse,"it's the economy"... It's because of a thief. We will pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and get this place rocking and rolling again. I keep telling myself that and soon I will start to believe it.
Hope you all have a fantabulous wonderiffic Thanksgiving! I know I will, I am surrounded by an awesome family, good friends and a wonderful life.
Life is good.
