Accountability--Starting with yesterday--Friendship counts no matter how small....

Soo I'm doing it again...going to put the Big (really big) Girl Panties On and Just do IT!! More so for the fact that I made A Runners Mom & More FB page Public....Yes you are reading it right, it's live & open to the Public. I'm ready to become more of what I preach be Accountable!! Now keep in mind since I'm M~O~R~E than a runners mom there will be All sorts of junk  stuff here for your reading pleasure. I will report on the running adventures that my daughter is doing which as everyone knows is My one Greatest Achievement in life!  I tag along with her (she lets me) and her Best running Buddies....with David as her Very Bestest BRF.

But lets start with today...up earlier than normal I was scheduled to do my MOPS thing. It's a Mom's group that gets together once a month at a local church, I'm what's called a MOPPET.

 

 

 

We are basically a Baby Sitter for the kids... as you can see from the first few sentences ''the moms need to take time to refresh themselves'' and '' because of Me us they can truly relax....really people?? refresh yourself & relax....I'm good with that but it's another one of those things that boggle my mind about parenting these days.

Now don't take all this the wrong way [but if you do get over it] I went to work to ''refresh'' myself and to ''relax'' from the parenting thing...my house wasn't cleaned every day because I appreciated my child {I'm positive they do as well}when I finished with my day/week at Work I spent my time with her...of  course I had parents that wanted to come and whisk her off for the weekend...and I let them sometimes, but she was mine....my baby girl, my daughter who from the minute she took her first breath I became a whole other person....a Mom.

So Much for the bandwagon...

I now have grandkids who are old enough to make me a 'Great' grandmother...do I want that? I can wait, when and IF it happens I'll do you best I can at being Great...in the meantime what little ITCH there is at wanting another baby to hold and cuddle, to play on slides & swings, to play tea with or trains & trucks or cars I'll just be a MOPPET.

 Last year I was with 3-4 yr olds they were for the most part OK to watch a little needy but all in all OK...This year I have 1-2yr olds...OMG....I question my sanity sometimes...but will never question being a friend and helping where I can when I can.

 

 

Re-Invention " 101 " Budgeting

Re-invention a word that seems a bit intimidating to some. For me it's going to be a 2016 New Improved Me process. There are so many things I really NEED to do, Things I'm planning on doing, the list could go on and on.
Going back to some of my old ways will happen this year, being more diligent with money/budget will be top on my list due to a major change going on in the company I work for.



Hopefully by the beginning of summer employees should know something good, bad or otherwise about what the company is going to do. Am I concerned?? Ummmm no, should I be?? Probably but guess what, they can't take my birthday. Rumors flying around about the split is there will be wage freezes &/or standardized wages by position, possibility setting a flat 2 week policy for all employed after 1year (this will take 3weeks of vaca time from me), price increase for insurance (yet again!!). So what to do?? Well I'm going to ride out the storm like I have in the past.

New beginning Again, And Again, and Again,

 

I know people I've said it before but really I've been B`U`S`Y!! 

 

And it's only this many more days before I'm no longer [gulp] in the single status.

 

 

 

 

Bear with me there's been so much going on,

and exciting news on the photo front,

can't wait to tell ya.

 

 

 

a runners mom~that's what I am.
