Facebook

To Facebook, or Not....

This is my question!

My love affair with facebook has had a recent hiccup.

I realized that I was trying to combine too many different types of people into one world.

Things that I would say to some people,

I surely wouldn't say to others, etc...

And pictures that I think are funny,

some others may not think are funny.

So then I needed to post the question....

Do I really care what everyone thinks??

And the answer is, "Yes".

I don't want my little neice accross the states to see a picture

of my friend flipping me off (Which made me laugh hysterically... long story...)

And my sick mind doesn't want to be seen by people who would for SURE

be offened by the REAL thoughts going through my mind.

And do I really want my parents, siblings, etc., commenting on things that happen with my friends?

I don't know....

I need to draw a line!! I tried to open a "friends only" facebook account, but that quickly bit me in the ass! People were being asked to friend me and they were confused, because they were already my friend on the other account! Crazy!!

So!!!! What do I do????

Disneyland

I absolutely LOVE Disneyland!

Especially this time of year. It just brings

that magical feeling into your bones,

you know... that feeling like anything is possible!!

Here are a few pictures of my girls and me, feeling the MAGIC! ;0)

Morgan and Britt, being adorable...

My 3 Lovlies...

A candid shot with Kirsten and Britt.

Troubled Mind....

I don't know if it is just my 40th sneaking up on me, or my children getting older, or hormones... I don't know. What I DO know is that all of a SUDDEN I am doubting all of my abilities all at once! And yet.... I have this very BIZARRE sense of peace, deep in my bones. Know what I mean????

Can't Sleep!!

OK, I am done with the whole "not sleeping well" thing! I can't remember the last time that I woke up in the morning feeling refreshed and truly "AWAKE". Not really sure what is causing my brain to run on overtime. I don't have anything going on that I would call "stressful" and everyone is alright. *sigh* I guess that I will just have to wait it out and see if I actually turn into a zombie, or if my brain will get the rest that it so desperately needs!!! I am off to try some warm milk and see if my "old school" learning will help me out! Wish me luck, I will post again and let you know how it all worked out.....

Cake Plates!

So, I have been racking my brains trying to find something to do to cure "boredom". My father-in-law, found these cake plates in the back of his warehouse, and brought them home for my daughters to decorate for me and my mother-in-law as "Mother's Day" presents. Well.... that was a year and a half ago!! Finally, I decided to decorate one for my mom for her bday, and I had so much fun, that I made the Halloween one for my mother-in-law!! (After all, she was one of the women that was promised a cake plate! hehe) But, now that I have done these, I have the "creative bug" and I want to do other things. I'm out of cake plates... so now, I figure out what I want to do next!!

EXERCISE.....

So, I was sitting in the pedicure chair looking through the Victoria's Secrets catalog, when it hits me! I should probably exercise. I know what all of you are thinking, "But Jolene, you ALREADY look fantastic", but NEIGH!!! These are LIES!! :0) I have spun out of control in the, "I don't give a flying rats ass about what I look like" spiral downward. The, "I can eat and drink whatever and whenever I want" HELL!

So......It...Is...Time... Yup, that is correct! It is time for me to officially get off of my lazy behind and get moving. I am mourning the loss of my lazy mornings already. I know that I should be thinking about the end result, but sadly... all I can think about is the PAIN!! *sigh* I wish, (like every other person in my position, I presume) that I could just visit the doctor, take a pill (that I would forget to take) and look AMAZING. But no. I am going to have to do it the old fashioned way... Diet, and EXERCISE.* *SIGH**

Someone talk me out of this. PLEASE!

Sorry!

OK! I promise to post pictures and change my blog! I am sorry that it has been so long... I just flat out got LAZY! Here are a couple of photos to "catch you up" a little...

First off, Jason and I had a CRAZY year.... First moving, then not, then we were, then we were un-packing and staying here! Jason is settled in a great job and hopefully that part of our lives will remain calm... He is working a ton, and playing a little golf now and then, and he loves having his friends over to cook up something yummy and just chill. Same ol', same ol'!
I was lucky enough to survive the ups and downs of my little world and was rewarded by being able to hang with my bestest buddy for a day! We had an awesome time at Disneyland and I LOVED being able to see my Great-Nephew and Neice! I am just trying now to adjust to having a college student, high schooler, and a 2nd grader. I am sure that life will take me where it needs me to be...
Kirsten has grown a ton and has gotten Rich, by losing almost every tooth in her head! hehe She is growing up too fast, and it is breaking my heart!!! She is still a little girl, though, and I thank God for that everyday!!
Brittany is maturing at lightening speed. It almost makes me ill to think about! She is starting her Sophmore year this year, and survived Volleyball last year. (Which, she will never play again...) She so talented and is evolving more and more everyday. Britt is going to be the school photographer for Esperanza High School's Newspaper this year, along with all Honor's classes... gonna be a busy year for her!!
Morgan had the most changes to her life this year!! She went to her first prom, graduated with a 4.37, and got her braces off. She is currently enrolled in Fullerton college as a full time student... I cry all the time thinking about how close it is to my "best buds" leaving me for their own adventures and lives! But! For now, I am just enjoying their stupid jokes and the love they fill my house with!!!
