Where do the days go. I am failing one of my new resolutions. My granddaughter turns 4 tomorrow. I have so much to do because it's being held at my house. I have pain through my lower body and I can't move very well. My son played an incredible basketball game. He was so tough, I wish he would shoot more. until tomorrow

1/4/11

I broke my resolution already. I missed a day. I didn't even write what type of day it was. I finally got to cleaning my house somewhat mopped my floors and what does mother nature do, makes it rain. There wasn't rain in the forecast. This has happened the last three times I have mopped. I tried to get out of piano lessons but my teacher and called me and was willing to work with me. Any time even the mornings. So, I am not giving it up. Even though it costs a fortune. I need to focus on my class. So thats it for now. peace, wasp wanna be

1/2/11

It started as a good day, but I had an unexpected visit from my oldest son and things did not go well. Let's put it this way I ended in tears. He doesn't appreciate anything I do for him even if it is just a small thing. I'm helping him indirectly by taking care of his daughters in the morning. Everything revolves around him and since I don't have a paying job my life can be altered at a moments notice. Another thing I can't do is release my frustrations because I don't really have a friend I can unload too. My sisters and brother have probably had enough of me and I can't tell my parents because it would upset them too much. I really need to do some research and write so that I can try to make some money. I need to stop paying for lessons in piano because I really don't see a future in that. It has been fun but I really need to focus. I did write and I will continue tomorrow.

One more thing, I am going to turn myself into a techno geek!!!!!

January 1, 2011

I am really going to try to write every day even it is only two words. Since my last entry, I have started as an instructor for an ESL conversational class. I have a new camera with video application. I started piano classes and performed my first recital in over 30 years. I decided with much thought and feeling to return to the Catholic church. I went Dec.26 and plan to go today at 9:30 in the morning. I also plan on going to confession although the church calls it reconcialiation. I prayed my first rosary yesterday in hopes that my older son and his family stay safe and don't do anything stupid.

My resolutions:

I can't really do a triathlon. I don't have the patience or the money. I am going to try to find a way to make money and save for surgery I need to have. The condition is not life threatening right now but it could potentially turn. I am trying to be truthful with a little help from my wise 12 year old. He told me the other day, "Mom you try to do too many things and really can't accomplish anything." So I backed off volunteering from tax preparer for the disabled and elderly. I need to focus on the things I mentioned above and add my book club and bible studies. I also started watching my granddaughters in the morning. It is only an hour and a half except for Wednesdays. On those days I need to stay until 12. So what I plan to do is continue with my piano and go as far as I can go. Take only one class for English Lit. since it is my true love. Maybe someday I will teach it. I will stop for now and write more tomorrow.
