And That’s….the Truth

After almost three years of blogging, I think I’m finally running out of things to say. I never thought that would happen in this lifetime. So I have been doing a little browsing on the Internet to come up with some different and fun posts to give you all. Last night I was checking out different business gifts sites, but nothing really caught my fancy on something to talk about. So I guess I’ll have to do a little more digging. This happened to me once before and I did come out of my funk, so I’m not really concerned with my present situation. I just wish I could come up with some fun or exciting to discuss with you all.

I really can’t tell you where all the time has gone these days. This past summer time seemed to drag on, but now with the kids back in school, the time just seems to fly by. It’s almost the end of September already. It seems like it was just yesterday I was frantically trying to get this kids ready for school and now they have both been back for three weeks already.

So another Monday has arrived already. And it’s time for me to get some work done. I know if I blink, I will miss the entire week and it will be the weekend once again.

My husband’s job is a very dangerous job. He is the senior mechanic for his job and he works on a lot of really big equipment. Some of the equipment that he fixes and maintains are scissor lifts, booms, and forklifts. So he has to be extremely careful while he is working. It is his company’s policy that he wears safety vests, safety glasses, a hard hat and steel toed boots. Because of his dangerous job, I am constantly worried about him every day all day. I really don’t breathe a sigh of relief until I hear that truck pull up in the driveway. Some days I really wish he would find another job, but since he is happy with where he is at, I don’t relay my fears to him.

So I’ve decided to get a little more serious with my blogging once again. Last night I sat down and thought about all the posts and blogging that I have done over the past three years and it pretty much blew my mind. I also remembered the fun and the passion that I used to have for this activity. In the past few months I sort of lost all that, but I think I am finally ready to begin some serious blogging once again. So over the next few weeks you will see all kinds of posts from me. Like before I will probably do a colon cleanse review every now and again plus other reviews, but I will also have many more personal posts about my family, friends and day to day life. So get ready to see a lot more of me in here once again.

Well today the kids went back to school today after a two day break. But today was a little different than most Monday’s as today they both went back with all my money. My daughter needed money this morning for her school fee ($20) and her babysitting course fee ($35) and my son needed money for his school fee ($23) and his school pictures as well ($26). This is one thing that I absolutely hate about the first of the school year. Not only do we have to fork out a pile of money for school clothes and books, but within the first two weeks of school they are looking for extra money for this and that as well. Hopefully this will be it for a while and I’ll be able to start saving money once again.

So once again I have discovered that I’ve experienced some more weight loss. This depresses me because I’m so underweight as it is, that I really can’t afford to lose any more weight. Right now I’m five foot, one inches tall and only weigh 88 lbs. My ideal weight for my height is 110 lbs. So, I have quite a ways to go before I’ll ever hit that mark again.

I know why I’ve lost weight. I’m working more (at my job I’m on my feet constantly. I’m a waitress.) and I’m not eating right either (I’m usually working through supper). So now all I have to do is figure out a way to gain all my weight back without quitting my job. So… if anybody has any ideas on how I can gain weight, I would truly love to hear from you.

Now that my daughter is in middle school, she is taking a lot of different courses. This she she gets to take tech and health along with all her other regular classes. In health class they have already started talking about the best fat burners and dieting practices. The teacher’s don’t think that the students at this age need to diet but they also would like to keep them informed of the proper way to do these things and what types of things not to do. So far my daughter is loving the class. So even though this segment really doesn’t pertain to her (she’s quite tiny) she is having a blast learning about new things.

The kids have only been in school for a week and already their is problems. The problems are with my daughter’s middle school bus stop. I’ve had to switch her already. Every morning I drop my son off at the bus stop and then sit there with my daughter until her bus comes. Well the bus stop that we were at had a lot of bad kids at it. These kids are in middle school but insist on swearing at one another, throwing food at one another and spitting on one another. They hadn’t done anything to my daughter yet, but I wasn’t leaving her down there until they did. So the first of the year and already there is problems. I hope the rest of the year doesn’t work out the same way.

Over the years I have discovered that there are two types of bloggers. One type is the ones that write full length story books when their doing a post and the other type would be the bloggers that write short and directly to the point posts. I am in the second blogging category. For instance, if I’m talking about natural body lotion I like to get straight to the point. Like in this instance I would probably say Burt’s Bees uses all natural ingredients in most of their products and then I would encourage you all to try out the products for yourselves.

I personally like short well informed posts so that’s why I write short well informed posts. Other times I’ll drivel on for a little bit like I’m doing today. But I rarely write long drawn out posts as I’m not the type of person to read them so I would imagine there are others out there who are exactly like me.

So…. what type of blogger are you?

Last weekend was the final weekend where I could go out and purchase the rest of the stuff that the kids needed for school. On Saturday I picked up my daughter’s class list and let me tell you all, it was a massive list! It had everything on there except for diet pills that work. Honestly by the time I was finished with her list I was $150 poorer. Now this amount doesn’t reflect her school clothes or anything for my son. It was a pretty expensive weekend and I am seriously glad that it’s over.
