Wow it has been a long time
I feel so bad, it has been a long time since i have blogged on here. The world just got crazy around here the last couple of months. I am choosing that 2011 with be a great year. I don't want to keep living my life always focusing on the negative. I want to laugh more, love more, forgive more...... I know I sound sappy, but I have come to realize that I am the only one who can control this for me. I have to take charge of my life and I may not be able to control the things that happen to me, but I can control how I react to them. That is what i am going to focus on for this year. Things will happen, but it is how I react to them that matters. I hope I can keep this frame of mind all year long

First Day of School
Today was the first day back to school for Lyddi and Hannah. Lyddi is in 8th grade. When she left this morning to go to school I cried. My baby is growing up so fast. She is starting to look more and more like a young woman instead of a kid. She is going to have a very full year. She is talking Advanced Science and I hope and pray that it doesn't kick her butt. She is going to have to buckle down and study and get her work done. She is also taking Algebra I, she is also a mentor for the 6th grade and she is in junior beta club. I am very proud of Lyddi and I know that she can do anything she puts her mind to. Hannah is starting the 5th grade. She is growing up so fast, I sometimes forget that she is 10 because she is so small. She is growing, just at her own rate. Thank goodness she is learning Karate so she can defend herself is need be. She is amazing with her Karate and she loves every minute of it. Hard to believe that this will be her last year at the Elementarty School.
I am a natural born worrier, I worry for my girls all the time. I am so hoping that this year will be good years for them.

I can't believe he said that
As you all know Jerame is all about fishing. The regular season is over, but there are now Friday night tournaments. He usually doesn't get home until somewhere between 3-5am. Well this coming Saturday morning I want to take the girls to the Horse and Hound Wine Festival. There will be all kinds of horse and dog events that I know the girls will love to watch and yes the Wine tasting is for me. Well I asked Jerame not to fish Friday night, so that he could go with us and not be tried or grumpy. I was told that his fishing was his time "off" just like when I am not in the office it is my time "off". I exploded on him. I informed him that when I wasn't in the office, I wasn't having me time, I was taking care of the house, or taking the girls to horseback riding or karate, or dealing with whatever was going on with my Mama. I sure as hell wasn't spending the time doing something that was considered relaxing or just for me. I am still fuming this morning. I want to scream my head off. I NEVER have time to off. I am always taking care of something and someone. He tried to back track and say that wasn't what he meant, but once the words are said there is no taking them back. Every time I look at him, I am so mad.
I work very hard at the shop, I have learned more about cars in the last year than I ever thought I would learn. I have been learning how to price the jobs so that it helps take the stress off of Jerame. I know that he has the more physical job. Especially working in the heat that we are having now, but I try and help them as much as I can. I take them bottles of water and I even went and bought them ice cream yesterday. I never get credit for everything that I do. I have so much paperwork to do today and I just can't get my head into it. I just want to leave and get as far away from Jerame as I can right now.

ECLIPSE ****SPOILER*** DON'T READ UNTIL YOU HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE

OK. Didn't want any spoiler info showing on people's dashboard. Wow last night was insane. Every 12 showing was sold out. You would have thought the movie place would have learned from last year, but they didn't and there was a lot of chaos, but I still ended up with good seats and had a great time.
I thought that they nailed this one. By far I think that Eclipse the movie is closest to Eclipse the book. At first there was a couple of things that bothered me, but once I saw how they played it out, I understood that they had to make a couple of changes to keep the story but in movie format. Like when Bella leaves the school with Jacob, I was like what....but I understand why they had to do that and it did convey the same meaning as in the book. I was very happy with the flashbacks. The one with the 3rd wife was perfect, Rosalie's was just as perfect and Jasper's was out of this world. I loved his southern accent. I was so happy to see that they were more apart of this story. I know that they didn't go into great detail with their flashbacks, but they did give us enough for it all to make sense. I know that if they had put everything in there it would have been 5 hours long (which would be great in my book). Another thing they didn't go into great detail with was the triangle of Sam, Emily and Leah. I think they could have given us a little more info on that one and the whole imprinting , but what they gave us is good, I just wanted it to be perfect.
Everything having to do with Bella, Edward and Jacob was excellent. I think they did a great job with getting the same story across as the book. I just loved it all. The proposal in the bedroom, I was squealing and cheering and clapping. I loved it. Just loved it. The newborns!!!!! After having read Bree's book I think that they nailed what they were doing in Seattle. I just wish that they had done more with Bree in the field. I would have liked to have seen her fighting the blood lust with Bella so close. It would have been nice to see Bella seeing what she thought she was going to be like after the change. Wow now we have to wait until November 2011 and June of 2012 for the final two movies. wow that seems like such a long time. I hope the next two are as true to the book as Eclipse is.

Some things that Lydia wrote
Love is like a flower its only perfect once.
fear is the thing with feathers that hides in the soul
our worst moments bring out our greatest successes
family is like glue it holds things 2gether

My favorite of her sayings is
You gotta go through a lot of coal before you find your diamond

Glad the weekend is over
Good Morning, I am glad to put this weekend behind me. Saturday we went to move out Mama's stuff and thank goodness there was no drama. It was hot!!!!!!!!! When we finally got everything to my Mama's new place (which is with my Nannie) I almost passed out because of the heat. We were up in the attic putting boxes away and I bet it was 110 in that attic. We didn't leave from down there until about 330 in the afternoon. We helped put stuff away. Mama can not bend over. It makes her back hurt so bad. My girls even thought they were bored out of their minds they were really good. They didn't fight with each other. We told them that since they were so good that we were going to watch fireworks that night. The fireworks were the best I have seen in a long time. I didn't like the fact that I didn't get in bed until midnight, but the girls were happy and that is what counted.
Sunday, we took the girls to the lake. It was 107 during the day. We left when the water wasn't cold anymore. Who wants to swim in water that is 95. We have talked about going back to the lake next Monday when we are closed for the 4th of July.
I guess I need to get off of here and get caught up on work. Have a great day everyone
