Growing Up

You know, when I was a kid, I always liked to play outside with my boy cousin Tracy.  We would ride horses, play cowboy and indians, ride the three wheeler, shoot birds and rabbits with our bb guns, and we played with cars and army men in the dirt.  We always had a lot of fun playing together.  We very seldom played anything inside the house.  I guess you could say that I was what people call a tomboy.  I did play dolls and house with my sisters, but I would much rather be playing outside with Tracy. 

I watch my son and my step children now, and wonder how they can all be so different.  My son is a lot like me when I was young.  He would rather be playing with something outside, or looking for bugs.  My step kids on the other hand would rather be sitting in their bedroom playing video games.  It drives me crazy for them not to go outside.  I know they would have a lot more fun playing out there.  We bought a trampoline and a basketball goal to help my step sons be more active.  It only helped for a little while.  Again, they spend their time inside playing video games. 

I know I wish I could go back to being a child and playing outside again.  I have many memories of all of the fun that I use to have.  The spring and summer time gets me excited because I know I will be outside taking care of the lawn and garden, and planting flowers.  I am looking forward to it very soon.

My crappy week

I have had such a crappy week.  First of all, my son started running a fever last Sunday.  I am lucky that my dad was able to keep him while I worked all week though.  He ran a fever until Wednesday, so I took him to the doctor.  He had a touch of the flu and a bad sinus infection.  He has never been this sick.  I was not able to get hardly anything done when I come home from work since I had to take care of him.  You know, hold him and rub his back.  Second, work has been really crazy too.  I have had so much new, odd stuff that has come up and now I am behind with my normal work load.  Don't get me wrong, I like to learn new stuff, but when I am so far behind in everything else, it makes it really frusterating.  Third, I have nelected to keep up with the house work.  Thank goodness I have taught my children well, and they have helped out a lot.  Lastly, I am behind with all of my homework now.  I am still not sure if I am doing this blog right.  No one has posted anything on here.  I guess I must be doing something right though because I do have followers. 

Tomorrow, I am going to go into work and catch up on some things.  Sunday, I am going to take care of things around the house and catch up on some homework.  Hopefully next week will be a lot smoother.
