Wow, She’s 15!

Oh crap, it’s true. She’s way old and thankfully I still want to be around her most times and that is a huge plus for a teenager right? She’s been gone on vacation with the neighbors for a week and good grief, she’s drama on her way back now. ugh It may be cause it’s been a bit though, I’m sure she’s no more drama than normal.

But it’s impossible to believe she’s hit 15. As a summer baby, it means she only has 2 years left before graduationg. BLEH, OMG, WOW, UGH, YAH lol We’re working on her getting a lot of college courses completed before graduation and she won’t get into drivers ed until Novemberish. We’re doing ok I think.

Why I Meal Plan

What’s for dinner? Do you dislike hearing this question as much as I do?

Whether getting home from work, running the kids to activities or getting to our own evening meetings, dinner can sure get in the way. It’s not easy to find a schedule on some nights that is perfect for everyone to eat, let alone a time to cook that meal.

I do enjoy cooking, it’s just that being such a busy mom I don’t have the time most nights or I’m too tired to enjoy it. Menu planning and once a week cooking have changed this.

Personal Blogs are Rough

It’s obvious I’m having a hard time with my personal blog. It’s being sadly ignored isn’t she? It’s not that I don’t have anything to say, some in my life…ok many…would say that’s the miracle they’ve been waiting for. lmao

It’s because I have to think before I post anything. This blog gets quite a bit of traffic now. It’s easy for locals to find, it’s not like I’ve ever been hiding here. The blog name is my username on just about every forum and is my facebook page for goodness sake. But now I feel the need to be careful what I share.

Sleep Issues or Night Owl?

Well my Mom opened a can of worms. Although honestly, I guess I should talk to my family about any issues I’m having. So there, I’ll take some blame. Ok, I’ll take all of the blame. But, I don’t like to talk to others about issues I’m having, let alone my family that can hold it against me forever and ever. lol I’m turning a new leaf.

One Thankful Thing

Today has been an incredibly, wonderful day. I’m working on getting used to the fact that our ski season is a total wash and embracing the early Spring. It’s not easy, believe me!

But today was Spring cleaning. Yeah, you heard me right. It’s Feb. 21st and we are Spring cleaning. It’s in the 60’s and not a cloud in the sky. El Nino has been here all Winter and we never did get one. We had such high hopes when we hit the slopes on Nov. 15th. lol What a teaser that was!

Ski Vacation

Yep, we’re out of here. I am not getting my hopes up for any internet access at our buddy’s house. I’ll blog offline and post when I get home. Or…I’ll try to figure out how to post from my husbands droid. lol

My ideal will be to find a coffee shop and steal away for a few hours by myself.

Ski Etiquette

Well there are many that follow me on Twitter and you heard my quick recently ramblings about ski etiquette. I’m pissed and it obviously needs to be posted.

My husband brought me up skiing at Crystal Mountain. I’ve only been on the slopes for the last 4 years I think, much less than my current 36 years. lol But he grew up going there and there is a seriously good code there. I hate to get into the fact that it’s more expensive to ski there, I truly do hate to get into that. BUT…

Teaching Teen about Teachers and Bosses

Well it’s obvious my teenager is going to start giving me many things to blog about. Seriously, I could hit atleast 5 posts a day with her alone right now. OMG, yes I do enjoy her being older much more than younger BUT why does she have to be so like me? Except for she’s like me NOW! How did she get my confidence of 36 at only 14? I didn’t have her confidence back then. Yes, I will take it as the great way we have raised her, I truly will. Because people love to be with her and enjoy spending time with her and I know that you have to test your parents.

Momma vs. Mommy?

Hmm, I didn’t realize that anyone may need a coding of this. Truly, I’m just a Momma and always have been. It’s not bad to be either, I’m just not a Mommy. But it was brought to my attention that a funny post and discussion could be had by the difference in my head of the two.

Mommy – I think of someone all snuggly. I picture that woman with the SUV that has the Mom Taxi bumper sticker on the back and runs around putting everyone else’s needs first. I was snuggly, but my kids are older, is that why I don’t think of myself as mommy anymore?

Spoiled Brother

Spending 24 hours with my family feels like a century. I love thema nd do have fun with them, but it has to be in small time spans. An overnight trip is NOT a short span!

It’s the end of hte month and with homecoming dance, property taxes and some other things, money is tight until Friday. My trip to our First Nations annual meeting isn’t the one I’d hoped and planned.

We carpooled up with my Mom, bro and nephew. My Mom got a room with two beds and a pull-out couch so the kids and I stayed with her. Very cool or we would have done the trip all in one day instead of staying overnight.
