High School Friends

High School Friends

In the last year since moving back down here from Oak Harbor, I've run into so many of my old high school friends. It's nice to see that everyone seems to be doing well. Me, I've been better, and I've been a lot worse. This is shaping up to be a good end to an interesting year. I've been thinking about trying to arrange a reunion for all the high school friends I've managed to run into. I think it'd be fun, even if some have had falling outs or what have you in our adult lives. Just to see everyone for one night. Some wine, some good food and catching up on what we've been doing and where we are and where we want to go from here. I just think that would be really cool and really fun. If anyone is interested in doing this let me know, then maybe I can start working on arranging something.

Student of the Month, MY KID??!!

Student of the Month, MY KID??!!

So on Monday, Skye brought home a sealed envelope and gave it to me telling me that it was VERY IMPORTANT. I opened it to find that he's getting an award this morning at an assembly for Student of the Month. Of course, the day I'm scheduled to be at work early. I took the note in and happened to catch my boss right before he left yesterday and he asked me what time I was supposed to be at work. Told him what time (10 am) and he said okay, get here as soon as you can, you can't miss this. It's nice to have an understanding boss like that. So the assembly is at 9:30 and Skye still has no idea that he's getting an award. They said the student didn't know and that it was to be a surprise. I'm definetly going to be there though, with camera in hand! I'll share pics later : )

My birthday...

My birthday...

Thanks to everyone for wishing me a happy birthday. It was quite uneventful, which on one hand, I'm very thankful for. On the other, a little more excitement would have been nice ;) lol. I passed out early even, I was just exhausted from being up early to be in at 7 am. I got one present (well, 2 since I haven't gotten the other yet), which is more than I usually get for my birthday. So 30 will be again, one of my least memorable birthdays I'm sure. So far my most memorable birthday is the one where we had a gas leak in our apt building, and we had to evac, it was pouring down rain, I had my older two boys to try and keep warm and dry (Alex came a few years later). I couldn't drive anywhere, because my car was right near where the leak was so I couldn't start it and go to the mall or something. We were stuck in pouring down rain until a neighbor from another building saw us huddled up trying to keep warm and brought us inside until we could go back to our own apt. Then everyone forgot it was my birthday that day until that evening I broke down in tears cuz I was having such a crappy day and my sis and her friend were like oh shit! and ran off to the mall and store to get me a present and a cake, lol. So yeah, that kind of excitement I can do without on a birthday, lol!!!

Yea for empty stores!

Yea for empty stores!
Current mood: tired

I didn't get to do any of my grocery shopping yesterday, so I went this morning since the boys were out of juice to take in their lunches. The store was so quiet and empty, didn't have to wait in line or anything. I like being able to just grab my stuff and get out as fast as possible. Especially when I'm feeling like ass. At least I got a lot of the stuff off my list by memory. Now just to get the rest of it later. The kids can have chicken nuggets and tots for dinner tonight, they'll be happy with that. Especially Alex, he loves that meal, because he can dip his food :) okay, off I go to tend to children.

Depressed

Depressed
Current mood: depressed

that's how I'm feeling lately. I just realized it. I've been ignoring everyone while at the same time not. I'm here, but only physically. I have come to loathe this time of year when I used to love it. As I've gotten older, the magic of christmas has faded and I've become bitter and hollow feeling every fall. I try to put on a happy face for everyone, but really, I'm pretty numb inside. It always starts around thanksgiving, and then lasts through the rest of the winter. I've tried retail therapy, but that of course only makes it worse, because then I wind up spending too much. Did that today, though on purpose with the intention of returning some items. not sure what I was thinking really. Anyhow, I'm rambling about that. right now, I just want to bury myself, so I think I'll do the next closest thing and find my bed.
