( X ) Been in a car accident? Not ever when I was driving & nothing even remotely serious.
( )Been on a Helicopter? And likely won't either.
( X ) Been lost?

Lesson learned.
Ok, I have a very dear friend who has been my "voice of reason" for many years now. I can't even begin to write all the things she's taught me. Anyway, the latest "lesson" was one I should have learned long long ago, but obviously didn't.
Lesson...
Only I can make MY decisions. Only I can choose to feel the way I do. Others may TRY to make me mad, happy, sad, excited etc, but ultimately, it's all up to me to decide HOW I feel. It's also up to me to decide, after getting advice, (asked for or not) how to act on something. Someone can TRY to upset me, BUT I can choose to be happy instead & not let it bother me. I learned that for someone else to "decide" how I feel, is actually, giving THEM control over my life!
I'm done, I'm NOT doing that anymore. I AM TAKING CONTROL OF MY LIFE!!!
It took me 36 years, but I'm ready. I also figure, better late than never!

A new day, A better day!
Ok, after the yucky day I had yesterday (can I just tell you how much I HATE deceptive people?!) I decided that today just HAD to be better!!!
First off, I am so NOT a morning person! I rarely go to bed before midnight (I actually made it by 1/2 hour last night) & need to be up between 6 & 6:30. If I had my way, I would get up with the older 2 boys & then go back to bed for an hour or two. Anyway, seeing as how I have 2 younger kiddos, that isn't an option. So... as I was up this morning & the house was quiet, (Bonez had just left & C was still upstairs getting ready for school), I decided I needed to make good use of my time & instead of jumping on here, I got out my favorite exercise DVD (time out, can those 2 words even go together in a sentence?!). I even rummaged in the garage & found my big green ball so I could use that. So... at 7:30 this morning, I worked out, I still can't believe it! Unfortunately, I could only find 1 of my weights, so I had to kind of change things up a bit, but I made it work.
I'm still tired & still totally wanting to go break open a bag of chocolate covered pretzels, but I'm showing restraint at this point. (I figured the least I could do was wait until 9 LOL).
Anyway, I'm bound & determined to make this a better day. I have lots to do, so maybe keeping busy will help, at least that's what I'm telling myself!
Have yourself a great day!

AAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
Thanks, I needed to get that out! I seriously didn't think this day could get any worse... boy was I wrong!
Okay, I know I promised pics from this weekend, I still haven't had a chance to get them from my camera to my computer, I'll try tomorrow, I'm way to frustrated to try right now.
Anyway, I'm REALLY hoping tomorrow is a better day!

We survived!!!
I'll post pics later, assuming they turned out, I haven't even checked yet. Anyway, after a crummy start to the weekend, it ended up pretty darn good. We went to church yesterday... in the SNOW! Still not sure what the heck that was about, but I do have to say that I believe that's the FIRST time I've EVER celebrated my b day when it was SNOWING! We came home & had a yummy lunch/dinner that was in the crockpot, cleaned that up & then the party started.
Prince Charming's family was here & it was very laid back & fun. Poor C, Bonez opened his gift from g ma & Blanco's first & got a new Kobe AllStar jersey (e was BEYOND thrilled), then it was C's turn. You could tell he was extremely disappointed, he just kept saying "Ummm, cool checkers board..." He was totally confused & trying not to cry. I knew what was going on, so quietly tried to show him the rest of the "checkers" board... it was a COOL (& expensive) Medieval CHESS set, (the pieces were all hidden underneath the board though, so he couldn't see them). Once he realized what it was, he was TOTALLY STOKED! He's our chess player, & takes after Daddy. Infact, Daddy helped pick this out & thought it would be something they could do together. C will get the rest of his gift tomorrow, it's a glass top table that has dragons on it that match the set & both will go in his room.
The boys had hockey practice last night, so I didn't get my stuff until after they all got home, which was all fine. HOLY COW, M did more than I expected. He's so good!
Anyway, it turned out to be a good weekend. Even though I'm still bummed my parent's couldn't be here, after hearing how horrific the pass was, I'm SO glad they stayed home & were safe.
I'll post pics once I get them off my camera.
