Your Never Too Old....

Boy this really has a big meaning for me this week... I have come to discover that one is definitely not too old to try new things... set new goals or dream new dreams... I proved that today with starting a new job... something I've never really done before... work has always been a mom/wife thing for me.. don't get me wrong... working as a mom/wife is not as easy as some may think... but working a full time job... being a mom/wife... and still being yourself... it's even harder... But in the long run... it's what I want... and now... I'm not afraid to make set a new goal... or dream something new... I'm not going to put an age limit on things anymore... I'm not going to wait till I'm too old to do the things I can do right now... so that when I am older... I have no regrets... I'm going to Spread My Wings... and Open My Mind... and Dream Big... Reach for the Stars... Aim High... I'm going to challenge myself until the day I die to continue to dream... set new goals... and always look forward!!!

Today was AWESOME!!! Here I was nervous and I had nothing to fear... the day started and ended great!! I found I have some really good friends who work there... maybe no in my platform... but they are still there... the pay is decent... and the hours... oh the hours are sweet... well except the morning hours... I have to be there at 7 and I work till 4... I like the 4pm thing... but the 7am is not my cup o' tea!! I have a little guy to get on a bus... and his bus doesn't come till 7:55am... the worst part about it all is... if I wasn't able to figure out something with Wes... then I was going to have to go on another platform... not one I would like... and not one with such awesome hours... so we are working on it... trying to figure out how to work things so I can stay on this platform... and still  have Wes on the bus when he is suppose to be... it's only for 5 more months... or so... then it will be summer time and he will have other things to do.... I guess we will just have to cross our fingers and pray everything works out the way it's suppose to...

Well I have to get my gear straight for tomorrow and get some AFWM stuff done... so until then... Later!

Sunday Family Day!!

So it's Sunday... my last day of relaxation (yeah right) before becoming the big bad working woman!! Oh how I could say that I'm going to relax today but I know I won't... I know I'm going to be anal and try to get everything together so that I won't have to worry tomorrow (again... yeah right)!!! So today I'm fixin to make sure the house is clean... and that the menu is ready... that stuff is prep'd for tomorrows dinner... even though the kids are off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day... I'm going to make sure that I don't have to worry too much about coming home to a mess... -sigh- I guess we shall see... I can hope right? So I may not be lounging in my jammies... sippin' tea... listening to music or taking a nap... but I'm gonna try my hardest....

I am still hoping to spend some time with the guys... maybe watch a movie or play some games together... maybe watch the boys play some video games... and of course go over the rules for while I'm at work... have a short Family Meeting... make sure they know what I expect from them... and make sure that they know how much I am trusting them. I know they can do it... I know I have to cut the apron strings and let them grow... I just worry about them burning down the house... letting the animals loose.... or God Forbid... killing each other!! I pray every night that I won't come home to a DESTROYED house... or that I am going to have to worry about coming home and having to do all the things that I've left for them to do... I know it's gonna take some time and some getting used to since they've never really experienced me going to work outside the house... but I'm going to have to have the faith that nothing is going to fall apart... Maybe I need to pray through out the day as well...

I sure do miss Baby Girl... this week will be her last week at Tech School... and then she will be on her way to her first duty station.. Langley AFB, Hampton, VA!!! She will be "home"... and I know she's excited... but I still wish she could come home between tech school and her first base. I'm glad she is going to be back in Virginia... she grew up there... she knows the in's & out's... we have friends there who can help her get the things she needs to get done... and I know that she will be happy there... she has always considered Virginia to be her home... and I guess going home is a good thing.... I love her so much and I am so proud of her and all of her accomplishments... Aim High Baby Girl... Reach for the Stars!!!

Well I have to go get everything finished... Later!!!
