A big change

Most of you know that I have moved out of my apartment. I am not sure what I will be doing or where I will be working in the fall. So in the mean time the decision was made to not renew my lease until I know where I will be settling down at. That leads to temporarily moving back home with my family.

Now to me, I am greatful for this and to live rent free. Yeah, I never thought that I would be back home, but so be it. What I am struggling with is telling people this and assuming what they will think of my situation. I shouldn't be bothered with what other people think or say but to some degree I do.

My friend

I don't know about you, but I do a lot of thinking in the car. It is amazing to me how I can be thinking about something and then 2 minutes later I have gone on mulitple tangents and wondered, how did I ever get here in my thinking.

Today was one of those days. I heard a song that reminded me of a friend. A friend that I enjoyed spending time with. A friend that I liked going to get some cocktails with. A friend who I felt safe around. A friend that let me be me. A friend that was incredibly creative. A friend who was intelligent and would teach me things. A friend who I would discuss music with. A friend who would listen to me. A friend who would challenge me.

It made me so sad to think of my friend who I don't talk to or see anymore. I miss my friend.

Oh crap!

So this evening I was watching 2 boys. I have watched them for over a year now. One is potty trained and the other is not. After dinner, the youngest child decided to "do his duty". When I went to change him, I could not find any wipes. I searched the entire house, the diaper bag was missing too. What does a girl do?

After I put the boys to bed, all was well in the nice quiet house, until about 30 minutes later when the little one was crying. I went to check on him to find out...he pooped again.....and there are still no wipes.

What is one suppose to do when this happens?

So true!

I read a quote from Chuck Swindoll that is helping me keep in check my attitude, responses....

"Life is 10% what happens and 90% how I react."

A new era

Last year I joined myspace, surprisingly, and as of yesterday "Gina G" joined facebook. If you're on there, come find me! Let's be friends and all get along.

Waking up

Back from Arizona. Wow, I loved going on vacation and checking out on life. Don't think that is always healthy, but with everything going on in my life, I say that is ok! Now back to reality.

What I am realzing about myself, is that I enjoy mornings. I like getting all of my "chores" done in the morning so that I have the rest of day free. In a way it seems freeing to me. Like, working out, I just want to get it done and over with so that I don't have to think about it again until the next day. So if I had to pick the perfect time to wake up, it would be 6 a.m., but that doesn't happen...Then there are others I know who are the complete opposite, they rather sleep the morning away. If I did this, I feel like I wasted my day and when I wake up that late then my day is half over. I love learning about people and how each of us work.

Very random thoughts by Gina.....

I'm off
