I think I need a breath of fresh air right now. It’s a bit stuffy in my living room and my cats keep fighting and hissing; what’s up with that? It was my day back to work today, it was ok, but not great. People complained as usual even though we weren’t that behind as usual. I think the most we’ve been delayed at our office has been 3 hours. Now that’s a long wait. Today the doctor was only an hour behind, and we still had complainers.
Oh well, you can’t ever please everyone you know. I took the girls to their primary care yesterday and believe it or not, we waited 3 hours. The one thing that kept me from not noticing it was that long was the fact that they had a cute little television with my favorite channel on. Need to take a long time to guess what channel that is? Yes, it’s “lifetime”. Indeed my favorite channel, and I wish that my office budget will be good enough to get a plasma television so I can have my patient’s watch lifetime all day!! I guess it will keep them from complaining for a while, but not for too-too long. Well, I guess I will go to bed now, I’m done with my paid blogging and I’ve exercised my rights as a mother by TELLING THESE GIRLS TO GO TO BED EARLY!! SCHOOL STARTED YOU KNOW, AND THAT’S WHEN I GET TO BE “THE BAD GUY” as they point me to be.
Oh well, they’ll get over it. It’s a bit chilly out there tonight and to think we’re still in early September and it’s cool out there. It depresses me to know that fall is just days around the corner and it depresses me even more to know that “winter” is not far either. Ok, I’m going to bed now. Sleep tight my friends. OMG it’s already morning. Yikes and I have to start work at 7:30. Bye
Stuffy or fresh air?
Memorial Day
I got to admit that today was the worse day I’ve had in months. I was celebrating Yessie’s Birthday with the family and the girls were just acting like toddlers. Basically like two “terrible two’s toddlers”. I mean seriously, there was just arguments between both of them to the point where they both went fist to fist as if they were in a boxing match. Can you believe it? My two teenage daughters acting like two spoiled brats. I had a couple of guests that were simply acquaintances other than the family, and all I have to say is that I was “disgusted” with both of them. Specially Yessie having turned 18!!! For crying out loud.
I decided to let go of the moment and have them solve it on their own. I think sometimes we need to allow our teenagers to discuss it amongst themselves, but when it comes to them getting physical, that’s when I need to butt in!! Which I did, hehe and let me tell you, these girls had no cell phones, no tv, no radio, no friends, no computer. Basically all the amenities you can imagine were taken away for almost two weeks.
My dear teenage girls, would you take a moment to think of your childish behaviors. Outrageously, I’m shocked and still to this day shocked at my daughter’s outburst in front of company. I tell you, if those two weeks didn’t make a difference, i will crack down more if they dare to make it a “next time”.
Sometimes I feel the need to communicate with other parents like me because indeed it’s a hard road to manage being a single parent and all. I have to say, I have done an excellent job under the circumstances, but I want to improve even more my parental techniques. I feel as though now is when they really need the guidance and structure. I tell you, I will do whatever it takes to help my girls be the future admirable and well educated people I know they can be.
New pet for YESASH
I think I want to bring another pet to the house. My fiancé is in love with animals and the girls love pets too. I was thinking more of a dog, but I’m afraid no one will want to walk it.
They already have two cats and a hamster so I’m not bringing in another cat. The girls seemed in love with these couple of Ferrets that we saw at PETCO.
I heard Ferrets are a big smelly and messy, I’m not sure how true this is since people have their own opinions. We’ll see, I think I’m not sure which way I’ll go, but I’m sure whichever way it is, the girls will absolutely love the new addition to the family. Feel free to comment if you have any suggestions. I really want to get creative too, but not as creative as getting a pet lizzard or snake. You know how girls tend to be, but I'm sure it will end up being a pet Hamster....
Easy way OUT!
People are usually looking for the easy way out of things. I ran into my friend Angel this morning and he created himself a monter! He was trying to drive his car with a flat tire until he made it to the mechanic instead of just replacing the tire himself. Next thing you know it I found him on Day Street in Jamaica Plain, MA with his tire caught on fire.
He could’ve really caused some major damage and maybe even death. The tire that caught on fire was the left rear one, right under the gas tank. He really dissapointed me by this, he not only put himself in danger, but others as well.
People need to think of things rationally before just thinking of saving time and energy. This could’ve really gotten out of hand, and he could’ve been responsible for his life or someone elses.
Napping: Sweet Dreams
I think when we do have them Sweet Dreams we are just so refreshed in the mornings. A week ago Saturday, I couldn’t sleep during the night time. It made it extremely difficult for me to get up early to bring my oldest to work, but I did. I had gotten a coffee and still I was lacking sleep. I was going on a couple of errands with my baby cousin, but she delayed it until the afternoon.
After taking a nice shower and washing my hair and knowing that my cousin and I were going out later in the day, I decided to try and take a quick nap. Wow, I tell ya…. After a couple of hours of napping, I felt so refreshed. I was able to go out with my cousin do the errands and I still had tons of energy for more activities which I did enjoy throughout the afternoon and evening.
Needless to say, If you do not catch up on your Z's you will be very MISERABLE and SLEEPY; it’s just NO FUN at all!!!
I'm All Set
My opinion of I’m all set is when someone is comfortable with where they are in life. When they have achieved all their goals, dreams and aspirations. To be an independent and successful individual and possess a powerful mind and be able to initiate leadership and have people follow you because of your talents, uniqueness and caring personality to all human kind.
bills, bills, bills and where's the "Sweet life"?
I think I was born to be rich and have all the amenities I could imagine of, but sometimes I feel as though would that change the person I am today? Sometimes I feel as though I shouldn’t be struggling so much, I should be financially set and living in my own home with a circular driveway, but how the heck will I ever make it to the sweet life, if all I keep doing is paying my way towards living on a month to month basis?
The sweet life isn’t all that it’s put out to be sometimes I feel as though I work my ass off for nothing. To simply pay off bills and live in an apartment with no amenities what so ever.
If you ask me, I’m a bit tired of living by every check. I want to make something out of the normal daily routine, but it’s just so damn hard you know especially when you have kids and one of those kids is actually so close to college and driving to be more exact! So I figure when she gets her license that will be another monthly expense to put her on my insurance, and then to be more accurate it will be another bigger expense to fill her gas tank too.
Now.. If you ask me, when will the sweet life start heading my way? I mean seriously it seems like it’s only going to get worse financially speaking, but I know I will be able to manage, but then I feel as my dreams of my circular driveway or living in a beautiful home with a picket fence and a dog to wander around the yard is not so close at all. I wonder if my closing my eyes and clicking my heels together I can make it all come true.
