Full Time Job

How many full time jobs do you have?



Are you a spouse? An Employee? Parent?



I work an 8-5 job, but with my commute I get on the train at 6:50am and get back to the station between 5-5:20pm. Before work everyday, I have to get myself ready, and get Logan up, dressed, fed, and take him to daycare. Then after work, pick him up, get home, homework, dinner, bath then bed! And a few nights a week we have martial arts, and what ever else may come up. Now dont get me wrong Ray is there to help, but at the same time I take good care of him too! So my day starts at 4:00am, and ends sometime around 9:00ish.

I am sure lots of you who are reading this go through the same thing, and even have more kids that you take care of, and I could not image that!!! One drains me!

Now the job...ok I work at a financial institution, so right now any one who knows the industry knows how stressfull it can be...but I am there everyday as I need to be, and can be contacted 24/7. Even the 2 weeks I was out on jury duty, at breaks and lunches I was emailing and putting out fires. Now I am not trying to say I am super woman...others of you do this as well.

When do you get a day off...well off from work, when the kid is sick..then you are taking care of a sick kid, and probably dealing with work stuff...so not a day off. What about when you have a 'holiday' form work...oh wait, kids are probably off that day too...SOOOOO.....you schedule a day off, but when and how do you do that for convenience of everyone. Then you take the kid to school, and are expected to pick them up ...so there goes your day, you are on a schedule. What about a weekend????

Who gets nights and weekends off from being a parent??? What do you do with that time? That is right you clean your house and take care of things that you always have to put off for NO TIME, well when it is yours to take care of. Logan was away for 6 days over the summer, I was insane missing him...but I guess if they are a dime a dozen. What does it matter.

In my opinion...if YOU are not able to take care of your kids....why not do some thing about it.

Babies are a blessing for many reasons and only God knows why they are here...but sometime I do question in my head the WHY????

He knows what he is doing, I am not doubiting that....but HELL if you have been blessed....pull your head out of your JOHN BROWN HIND PARTS and be a freaking parent.

September Update

I don't' think I blogged at all in August did I? Well lots has been going on, I spend about 2 weeks on a Jury it was cool. A long story, but a neat experience. I am glad I got to do it, but not upset that I have a 24 month reprieve from it. Meet some neat people, had a great judge, although the cases ended in mistrial but it would have been that way anyways, since we needed 10 of 12 to agree on all the charges, but we would not have had that, we had 3 of us who firmly supported the defense.

So I missed taking Logan to school the first day of school that was very sad for me. He was excited to go to Westridge, so I don't think he was phased at all...I guess he is growing up and I am not sure I am ready for this.

Here are my kids on the first day of school. Logan had to have his picture taken with Shadoe.

So we have made it almost to the end of September, and no major issues. Logan's grades are SUPER, on his progress report he had a 95 in Reading, 98 in Math, & 99 in Writing...He hates writing more than you can image but he is doing really good. Although doing his spelling contract every week is somewhat of a fight. So as long as we can make it to the first report card, keeping those grades up, he will get getting an AWESOME GRADE Stripe at TKD.

Speaking of which, Logan will hopefully be testing for his Brown Belt in November. WE are so excited for this. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he shows the leadership skills and qualities needed to advance to this level.

As far as everything else, it has been hectic for a while, but it will all come out in the wash...one way or another!

Independence Day? For me it is!!!!

Saturday evening...Logan in bed, Ray playing video games, as for me....chillaxin to the fullest extent I can...some Whiskey & Ol'Country Music. I am having a nice evening and that is all that matters.

See this what i figure...Last time i checked I am an adult, married woman, mother of a wonderful, well behaved son...and for those who have issue with this or take issue with what i do...I BELIEVE THAT IS YOUR ISSUE!!

The last few months have really stressful, and i have been going and going...getting lots of $hit from all ends. And i have just let it go..but the last few weeks i have had time to look at things in retrospect, from being removed from my usual routine, and i have decided that i have lost me...and that is not good for the husband or the kid.

I am me, and I realized that is who everyone loves...not who people want me to be. I have a mind and a mouth, a very big mouth and i know how to use it and i do. i love my family.

The decisions for our son are ours...

to be honest as i am in my blogs, i am going to stop now!!!
