Welcome to my attempt at keeping the masses up to date

Please note: my blog is full of my thoughts, opinions (which are not always "right"), random things relating to my family and friends and the occasional Cut and Paste news.... whatever is important to me. I ramble on from time to time (that's the St. Sauveur in me) and at the end of whatever I wrote you may question what on earth I was thinking or it may not even make sense to you.....sorry....I warned you. You may not always like what you read (I do have an insane case of "Potty Mouth" which I try to hide on here, but it won't always happen) or what you see, but we all have our own opinions on things. Feel free to ask questions or leave comments. I do ask that you please leave your name so I know who I'm responding to. If you want to email me privately you may do so at imninstar@yahoo.com Thanks

Busy Busy Baby.....( I mean Toddler)

The newest pics of our adventurous weekend. We went to Wellwood to pick blueberries and say hello to the animals at the petting zoo, then went to see Daddy and "Uncle" Sam for lunch on the train and finished our weekend off with a house warming party at Uncle Greg's and Aunt Ashley's house. We are all beyond ready for a nice long nap.

Vacation time

Sorry to neglect my blog....I've been up north at camp all week having a blast. Internet access there is basically a "nice thought" but doesn't really exist. We all had fun despite the huge crazy downpour storm thing. I used the chainsaw for the second time and cut down my first tree!!!! Ashtyn had a blast riding her ATV and ours and the new tractor. We went to Louis's pig roast and saw fire works. Lots of fun in the mud and fixing the road and trails during and after mother natures wrath. We discovered our dog is pregnant. Pure bred sheppard + pure bred golden lab = me stuck with puppies......super! All in all we had a lot of fun and it was nice to do stuff as a family on our own for once (and I do mean for the first time!)

I've come to realize

1. I've come to realize that my life...Could be worse.

2. I've come to realize that my job...doesn't pay enough, but allows me to stay at home with my kids.

3. I've come to realize that when I'm driving...I wish I could just teleport to my destination.

4. I've come to realize that I need...a social life.

5. I've come to realize that I have lost...my ability to just up and go when and where I please.

6. I've come to realize that I hate it when...I'm watching the fun from the outside even though I'm actually there.

7. I've come to realize that if I'm drunk...I will BEYOND REGRET it.

8. I've come to realize that money...is the root of all evils and is not as important as it is to figure out how to live without it.

9. I've come to realize that certain people...suck and will never change.

10. I've come to realize that I'll always be...negative, disgruntled and on the outside looking in.

11. I've come to realize that I would like to....get more stamps in my passport.

12. I've come to realize that my mom.... is right a lot but needs to not preach it.

13. I've come to realize that my career is...not considered a job by 99% of the world, pays about 1/1000 of what it should, is way more stressful some days than it ever needs to be and aside from the negatives it is still very rewarding.

14. I've come to realize that when I woke up this morning...it was not going to be a good day. So far pretty dead on.

15. I've come to realize that last night before I went to sleep...I should have just put the AC in the living room and slept on the couch.

16. I've come to realize that right now I am thinking about...all sorts of negative things.

17. I've come to realize that my dad...is absent more than I would have expected.

18. I've come to realize that when I get on my blog...I wonder who are the people that keep visiting it.

19. I've come to realize that today...was hot, boring, stressful and its not over yet.

20. I've come to realize that tonight...I will undoubtedly have an argument about something very stupid.

21. I've come to realize that tomorrow I will...pack for camp and pray the weekend and my vacation next week go peacefully and I finally get the rest I need so I can get out of this awful funk.

22. I've come to realize that I really want to.... enjoy everything again and soon.

23. I've come to realize that I used the same responses on 9 and 10 as auntie JOJO since they are perfect responses. I love you Jolene :)
