Mentally Exhausted

Well the title of this post says it all, I am mentally exhausted, lol.  Work is draining the life out of me, trying to keep up with 15 four year olds everyday is so tiring.  I am trying to get my energy level up so if anyone reading this has any suggestions I would really appreciate them, lol.  I know that I am a terrible blogger so I promise I will try to post more and post some things other than stories from my sad life, lol.  So here we go...  Here are few things I am really loving right now:



The Holidays



 Five Below! Seriously, this store allows you to Christmas shop with out going broke, lol.



My local Country radio station!  They get me up and out the door in the morning.



My favorite holiday movie!





These are a few things that I am really loving right now! I love the holidays and am so looking forward to getting a break from things for a week or two!







December?!?!

Is it really December 2nd already?  I can't even believe it, lol.  I have been so busy with work and school that I haven't been on my computer for reasons other than school, for like a week.  As usual I am excited about the holidays and getting a break from school and being able to spend time with my family.  All I want to do is drink hot chocolate and watch How The Grinch Stole Christmas, lol.  The holidays always give me an opportunity to reflect on the year before and see how I have grown or changed.  Last year I was so worried about buying gifts that I am now in credit card debt, but this year we set a limit of $30 per person per gift.  I have already done some shopping and gotten a few things, and I actually bought something for myself :)  This year has been filled with a lot of ups and downs, but I am determined to make next year a great one.  I have a lot to be thankful for and I am very blessed to have a loving family, food to eat, and a roof over my head.  So this holiday season I will not stress over gifts and presents, all I want to do on Christmas day is eat some good food, drink lots of coffee and hot chocolate, dance my ass off, sing til my throat is sore, watch Christmas movies, and enjoy every minute of time I get to spend with my family.  I am so looking forward to Christmas!

Happy (Belated) Thanksgiving

Well, it's been a while since I have posted on this blog.  I have been so busy with life that I just haven't had the time or energy to write anything not related to school or work.  So yesterday was Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for this year.  First and foremost, my family.  They mean everything to me and everything I do is to make them proud of me.  I am also thankful to have the opportunity to go to school and get an education that is going to help me further my career.  Speaking of my career, I am thankful to have a job this year.  I am also thankful to be able to help my mom pay bills with the money I make from that job.  I am thankful that we were able to enjoy an amazing dinner yesterday filled with good food and good laughs, it was really special to me.  I am also thankful for my friends, I don't have many but the ones I do have are very important to me and I am glad to have them in my life.  I am also thankful to be healthy, aside from a serious cold and/or mild case of the flu last week.  I am just thankful to have the life that I have right now, and to be spending it with people who I care about.  So happy (belated) thanksgiving to everyone out there, I know most of you are recovering from all of the food you devoured yesterday and again today, and I am in the same boat :)  I hope that you have as many reasons to be thankful this year as I do.

New Year, New Beginnings

So with the new year fast approaching (and I mean fast, lol) I have decided to make some changes in my life.  One major change that I am making is my health.  I am making it a point to eat better because right now I don't, lol.  I have also decided to really live this year (no, I wasn't dead this year just not really living).  I want to have fun and be healthy and make some friends.  I also really want to focus on me, I need to stop worrying about pleasing others and focus on living for me.  I know that when most people make "new year's resolutions" they don't stick with them and that is why these are not resolutions.  I will take each day and savor it, I will give thanks for everything that I have and enjoy the people I am spending my time with.  I will not be wasting my time with anyone who is not worth it.  So I hope that everyone has a happy new year and really thinks about what they want to accomplish in 2012 and just do it.  Life is too short to hold back, so I want to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year!!!

Holiday Spirit!

So starting this blog helped me get a head start on this list.  I wasn't supposed to start accomplishing these goals until 2012, but what the heck.  I am in the holiday spirit, as I always am because Christmas is my favorite holiday.  But this time of year always makes me think of those less fortunate than I am which is why I will be sending a Get Well card to a young man by the name of Joey Caretti.  Here is the link for the entire story: http://www.myfoxphilly.com//dpp/news/local_news/send-a-card-to-joey. I will post a picture of the card that I create before I send it.  Please, please, please take 10 minutes out of your day and make a simple card that could bring this boy so much joy.
