Ok, so the other day I was talking to a friend, telling her that I had been reading and reading and reading her blog and that it was fun and interesting to read. I really enjoyed reading her blog (I had never read it before). I spent 2 evenings, going thru as many of her posts as I could. I felt like a blog stalker LOL.
After reading hers, I went to another blog of someone in my ward and read ALL of their posts and to me, it seemed both the husband and the wife were posting but you could never tell who it was on some of them. The husband blogs so beautifully sweet especially his post about their Anniversary. awe!
Anyway...back to why I started this post.. I was telling my friend that I HATE blogging lately, because somehow I get depressed when I blog. Who wants to invite depression, not me! Her suggestion was to start blogging about the positive things and not the negative. I kind of rejected her suggestion at first saying to myself "yeah right, I'm just a negative person and not a lot of positives going on in my life so what positive things could I write about?" Plus, I'm horrible at properly writing stuff so please, forgive me, as I thought school was for socializing, not learning.. boy am I paying for it now. So if I just nod at what you say, now you'll know that its because I clearly have no clue what you just said, LOL
So this is me now, accepting her challenge, hoping that I will stop with the negative feelings and start with the positive. Positive is good. After writing this sentence, a light bulb went off in my head... I do not like to be around negative people although I will still be your friend but I may or may not start to distance myself from said negative friends. Hey, maybe this is why I have lost soo many friends in life, maybe because I don't think I am negative..but maybe they feel I am. I do complain, who doesn't? I've always thought that I was a 100% loyal friend who would most likely go to the ends of the earth for them (the word friend also includes family).
So, here is some positive. I have a husband who works full time, outside of the home, teaching 30+ 5th graders, plus announcing Basketball, Wrestling and Football and Coaches Softball at Timpanogos High School, so that he can provide for us and has made it so that I could quit my job of almost 8 years. I have now been a SAHM for 1 yr and almost 1 mo. We have a love/hate relationship, lol. Love it cause I don't have to report to anyone, I can go anywhere on any given day without having to find someone to cover my shift or what not. I hate it because I am a HUGE people person and I miss the daily interaction I had with people, co-workers and friends that I knew for those 8 yrs and because someone like to joke with me that I don't make the $$ now.. my rebuttal is that I get paid, it just can't find its way to the bank because it comes in the form of Hugs and Kisses :D. I have 3 handsome fun and energetic boys ranging in age from 5 (pretty much 6) - age 9. An Angel Baby named Caden who we think of and miss often, he is not forgotten!! And a fun, energetic and super pretty 19 mo old girl. She keeps me on my toes! She along with her brothers are like the sole mess makers in our house he, he. Oh whoops.. that was a negative, but it is true!
Hope you enjoyed my more positive post. Thanks for reading (if anyone even reads) ha ha
