Thoughts on Life

I wish I could just figure out what I want out of life. It changes hour to hour, day to day. One minute I am completely career-minded and goal-oriented, the next I just want to play all day with my kids and husband. Sometimes I wish that I hadn't worked so hard my so life to do well in school, etc. and not been so dang MOTIVATED. Then the decision would be ALOT easier to just stay home and be with my kids all of the time. Is it selfish of me to WANT to have a successful and meaningful career? Is it wrong to be motivated to move up the ladder, not just up, but to the top? I just feel like by wanting those things so badly, it puts by kids second. I don't know. I just wish I could find a good balance with it all. Right now things are pretty good, but I feel like if I want to move UPWARD, it's going to take alot more time and concentration, which will leave my home-life a little more lacking. Crappy. What do I want? Any thoughts or ideas for me? I need some different perspectives besides my own twisted little mind! :)

Oh and one more thing! Why the heck do salespeople feel like they can judge who people are and decide whether or not they can afford a certain product? Wouldn't you think that they would want to at least TRY to talk someone who couldn't afford something IN to buying it for commission? WTH? Stupid hooker at Macy's... yeah YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

OK bye

3 Weeks

Well it's been about 3 weeks now with a constant headache that gets worse and better throughout the day. Nausea, hot flashes, neck pain, scalp pain, blurry eyes, confusion. It's been fun. I don't think this "pain rebound" detox has cured me.

My mom and I think it's migraines.

Waiting to hear from the doc.


BOO

Watchin everyone on the rocket

So last Saturday we got the chance to go to Frightmares and meet my sister and her family there, too. Aden was soooo excited to go to "Goo Lagoon" (he calls it that because the beach on Spongebob is called that haha). He gets so excited to see his cousins Drew and Dallin. We ended up getting there about 2pm, which was a little later than planned, but I think by the end of the night it was long enough! When we got there, I realized that I did not pack HAND SANITIZER!! How insane was I to forget that?? haha So the whole day, I really tried not to touch ANYTHING and SCRUBBED my hands anytime I went to the bathroom. I honestly was thinking about all of the crap crawling around on EVERYTHING. Yes, I have officially become a germaphobe. By the end of the day, though, I knew I was sick. I got a really horrible headache off and on and felt pretty nauseated. Maybe it was just motion sickness because I am getting old, but I could feel something coming on. We ate dinner at Teriyaki Stix and ordered the spicy chicken... ya know, we usually like a little spice in our dinners, and then I bit into it and honestly about cried! I can't think of anything I have had that was that freakin spicy hot. Apparently that dish is spiced up with curry and what not, and I was not expecting that. But I finally got somewhat used to it and ate a little more. Kinda funny. I think the funnest part of the day was "peer pressuring" Dallin into going on all the crazy rides! haha It was so much fun to see how scared/excited he was going on them for the first time. I wish I remembered the first time I went on the rides; all I know is that I have been going on them since I was tall enough to haha! But Dallin was awesome. It really made the day great. It was so nice spending the day with my sister and her fam, and getting the chance to ride some fun rides because Doug tended the little ones hehehe.... Anyway, enjoy some pics!!

I'm sick.

Sinus infections suck. Suck bad. That's all I really have to say, except one more thing.....

I'm gonna gain weight from being sick. My body and mind is programmed to believe that when I am sick I must eat more. I am programmed to eat for comfort. I need reprogramming.
