Just some Thoughts on Things

Not too much going on today.  It rained a little here but not too badly.  The boys went outside for a little bit today to ride their bikes.  Chord just got a new bike because his old one was getting a little small on him.  Last year Jarod got a new one so I guess it was time for Chord to get a new one too :). 

Well tomorrow is the Monthly meeting for the Moms Club® and that is when the President is going to announce she is stepping down.  Hopefully it will all go ok.

I still haven’t decided if I want to run for Secretary again or not.  I don’t think anyone else will want to do it LOL.  I mean last year I was the only one who ran for it so by default I got it LOL.  I really don’t mind doing the work.  I like taking the minutes and doing all those things!  Then again I like to play around on my computer too.  I learned a lot about computers by just playing around with them.  I could learn more I am sure if I took a class but I really have learned a lot by just playing around with them :).  I think I learn better that way.  Anyway I am getting off track here :). (I am good at that LOL.)  But like I said what I don’t like about it, is some of the drama.  I like my drama on TV not in real life LOL. 

If I do run again and get it, it would be more experience I could put on a resume some day.  It will give me two years of experience instead of one and again I will learn more about computers I am sure :).  Maybe knowing what it will be like will have me more prepared for it this time.

The drawback is I really don’t like conflict.  I’d much rather be the peacemaker and I really don’t understand why some people get in such an uproar about the smallest things.  Why do some people have to jump down your throat and ask questions later?  I mean sometimes if people would just talk things through they would find that no harm was meant and maybe it was an honest to goodness mistake.  Instead we get the bickering and silliness and for me it just gets old quick.

Is it just me or are a lot of women like this?  Maybe that was why I was such a tomboy when I was growing up.  It’s no wonder I have only a select few of close female friends.  I do have other female friends too but I wouldn’t call them close.  I know there are a good many women that aren’t like this but man there seems to be a lot of women like that.  I am not saying I don’t have faults (don’t even think I could count them LOL) but man this is just something I am not used to and don’t like.  Am I the only one that feels this way?  Maybe I am just weird and seeing things wrong I don’t know. 

So as you can see I really don’t know what to do.  I feel like I am caught between a rock and a hard place.  I love doing what I do for the most part in the MOMS Club but is it worth all the stress?  Should I just drop it and try to just enjoy being a member of the Club or should I try and stick it out and maybe get some insights and experience doing it?  These are just some questions I have been asking myself.  Any thoughts for me? LOL.

Maybe I should just wait and see if I get nominated.  I could just run if I wanted to but if I just wait to see if I get nominated I can at least see if anyone wants me to run again LOL.  Maybe no one will and then I won’t have to worry about it LOL.  I wouldn’t have any hard feelings LOL.  I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.  I just feel torn about what I should do.  I mean if I was working I would have to deal with people (I have in the past LOL) but do I want to do it voluntarily? LOL. 

Plans for the Weekend

Not much happening today other than it being really humid! We only have a window air conditioner so we put it in our room and it cools down our room and the boy's room. So we have been in our rooms for most of the day LOL.

Anyway tomorrow I have a meeting with some MOMS Club moms because the new board members (me and other moms) will be learning about what our jobs will be like and what we need like paper work and the like. If you remember I will be the new Secretary in the group. It will also be like a girls night out so that should be nice.

Sat. the boy's have a field trip with a homeschool group to a Veterinary Clinic where they will listen to a dogs heartbeat and look at worms in a microscope (eww). I think the boy's will enjoy it though. Jarod has even agreed to go even though he's afraid of dog's LOL. We shall see how he does LOL. Other than that not much going on. How is everyone else spending the weekend?

Just wanted to blog before we had to go to church later. I know by the time I get home I will be too tired to post LOL.

Not much going on today. I feel really tired for some reason. I did go to bed a little later than usual last night but man I feel dead tired. Hopefully I will be a little more awake when we leave for church. You will be proud of me I haven't been out and about today LOL. Granted we will be going to church but that is what we do on Wednesday's anyway LOL. But other than that we stayed at home and just spent time as family.

Tomorrow I also have nothing planned so I will relax again LOL. Probably get the house around a little more too. It's a mess :P. I just felt too tired today to do much more than dishes and basic pick-up LOL.

Friday I do have a Bible Study with the MOMS Club but I always enjoy that and it's a relaxing atmosphere. I so enjoy doing our studies with the other women of faith. Some are Baptise, some are Lutheran and some are even Catholic (and me I come from a non-denomination church). Yet we are all friends and come together under Christ. It's a wonderful thing. I have known these women from the MOMS Club now for almost four years and they have all become good friends. I am grateful that someone pointed me to this Club and I am glad I am a part of it.

The weekend nothing planned just yet but that's how most of our weekends start out LOL. We shall see what goes on and how hubby and I feel.

Monday I have the Monthly Membership Meeting with the MOMS Club where we will do our elections for the new board. I know I will be Secretary though because no one is running against me LOL. So I will be shadowing the current Secretary for the next few meetings or so. I am both excited and nervous about doing this.

After Monday I don't have anything going on till Thursday which is also with the MOMS Club and that is we have Science Club which another mom and I are in charge of. This might be the last one we do though because we both will be on the board so hopefully someone will take our positions on both Science Club and Create and Play. I will be kind of sad to let these things go but then again we have gotten a lot of new members and I would love to see them take a part in doing some of these things.

Well I think I am going to go see what's going on in other's peoples world's (blogs) and then get ready for church or at least get prepared for church LOL. I hope everyone has a great day!!!

The weekend was good. Saturday we ended up going to a Trading Center about a 40 min. drive from here. The boy's got some die cast cars and hubby got a couple of things. I didn't get anything but then again I just don't enjoy spending money LOL. I don't know why but I have always been like that. Even when I was younger I never begged my parents for the "cool" clothes or the "in thing". Nope I liked the cheaper stuff better. My mom used to even try to get me to want the more expensive things but I just didn't care for them. My dad and also my dad's mom was like that too so I must take after them. I just don't know why I am like that. I don't think it's necessarily because I am cheap LOL. I just really don't like spending money on me. I love getting other people things. Especially if it's something I know they will like. I guess I am just odd LOL.

Anyway Sunday we went to church and then the rest of the day was spend at home. That was a nice break after all the running we did during the week. It was nice just to be lazy LOL.

Today was the monthly MOMS Club meeting. No one else is running for Secretary except me so I will be having that position once the elections are over LOL. This will mean I will have to get rid of some of the other things I do like Create and Play maybe the Science Club, Nursery coordinator and making the name tags LOL. Wow I don't think I realized how much I do till I typed it all out LOL. I love being a part of the club though. I have made a lot of good friends through it and I know the boy's love doing the things they have going and also have made a lot of good friends.

Tomorrow is laundry day. But other than that no plans. I am hoping for another do nothing much day LOL. I don't feel like I recuperated from last week LOL. But who knows what tomorrow will bring. How was every one's weekend?

Been busy these last two day's. Yesterday was a MOMS Club meeting. We are going to go into another election. I am thinking of running as Secretary but not sure just yet. My one friend said she would nominate me LOL. Don't know if I need more to do or what LOL. I guess I just like to keep busy. After the meeting we came home and had lunch and I ran to the Library to pick-up a few books and came home. The rest of the was picking-up house some and then getting clothes all sorted for laundry day.

Today was laundry day so it was off to the Laundromat. The boy's did their school work there. One elderly lady there noticed I was a homeschooling mom and she asked if I schooled them all day and I said not really because they finish in less time than traditional schools. She didn't seem to impressed LOL. Oh well I know what my children know and how well they are doing. I really don't need anyones approval. All though two other older women (not elderly just older) were asking me questions about it and were very supportive of homeschooling. So I guess that made up for it. Besides I really don't get bad comments about it and I have learned even if I do not to worry about it because they don't know what homeschooling is really about and how well my children are doing.

Tomorrow I don't have any plans. Not sure if we are doing anything Thursday either but that really depends on how board Harlow gets being home LOL. He is not liking having no job. He would never make a good couch potato LOL. He is looking into going to school because a program that his job had gotten approved for will pay for schooling for in demand jobs. He's not sure exactly what he wants to get into but he's looking into things. I know God will get us through this difficult time though.

Friday we are going to my bil and sil's house for dinner but before that I am going to be babysitting my niece. I haven't seen her in a while so it will be nice. She will be two years old on April 11! I can't believe how fast that went!

So I have a surprise, surprise I have a busy week LOL. At least I feel so much better though then I have in a week! I don't know exactly what it was but it sure took me down. After going all winter without getting sick I get sick badly ugh! I hope everyone has a great week!!

Playing Catch-Up

Sorry I know it's been a bit since I blogged last. Thursday was Create and Play for the MOMS Club thing and it went off great!! All the kids loved the snowball fight with the Styrofoam balls. Even a few of the moms (including myself LOL) had loads of fun playing snowball fight.

Friday hubby went to work early so he could get off early. He's been having to work early all this past week. We did some schooling of course and then hubby came home around 2:30 pm and while he took a nap the boy's and I went to the library. The boy's got a few books called Andrew Lost (a series) they love them! After hubby woke-up it was time to go to get our taxes done (hubby made the appointment Thursday). Harlow took us to Bob Evan's afterward. Needless to say the boy's got to bed later than usual but that's ok.

Sat. we didn't do a whole lot. I did do grocery shopping and later hubby took the boy's shopping (like they really need more stuff ugh but anyway LOL). I just stayed home and relaxed a bit. The rest of the day we just spent time together.

Sunday, we went to Church, came home and then we ran to the mall so I could get my hair cut because I really needed it LOL and then we went looking around for TVs. When we get our taxes back we are planning on getting a new TV because our old one is on it's last legs. We are also going to get a new (well new to us) used vehicle. Something we can have a little more room in.

Today was MOMS Club Membership meeting. The boy's decided to stay home with their dad while I went. Which was probably a good thing because Harlow's back has been really bothering him and the boy's helped him out while I was gone. After getting back from the meeting hub's went to the Chiropractor to get his back adjusted. I talked him into staying home from work today because he could hardly move and his job he has to pick up and turn a lot. I don't want him really messing up his back and not be able to move. He seems to be doing better now. He's able to move a little more than he could earlier. Please pray that he feels better soon. Poor guy I felt really bad for him. So how was your weekend?
