Random Summer

Okay, so this Summer has been crazy... Here are some random things that I have come across.....

People are STUPID. I don't know how anyone could just quit a job without giving any notice. Why in the hell would you want to do that? First of all, do they not know employers ask for employment history & actually call? Do they not know that I could have a factor in getting another job? UGH, so frustrating. I don't care if they want to quit, really I don't... But at least give me the same courtesy as I have given you and at least give me a week notice, don't just call and say I'm Done!!!! PS... This happened to me 4 times in the last 2 months!!!!!

People are CRAZY. Why would you want to spend all your day waiting for a movie? I could see an hour, 2 tops, but all day in 100 degree weather? Wow...

People have amazing HEARTS. Although I have seen craziness, I have seen people that have the biggest hearts. People that gave up something just to make someone else happy! People that would do anything just to see someone else smile.

I am grateful that I have amazing family and friends that helped me get through this Summer. Without you all to vent to, I wouldn't have made it!!!!!!!

♥ you all !!!!!

Wow.....

I am totally a slacker! I have been so busy that I have neglected my blog..... My friends said so, lol.....

So, tonight.... I am changing that! Today I am going to write about Shit.....

Not literally..... but really, all our lives are filled with it.... We have our families (not shit) our friends (again, not shit) and our work (no comment)!!!!!!!

We all have our things going on, but we need to remember the good in our lives..... The family.... The friends...... The fun!!!!!

Some of us have forgotten to have fun (yes I am talking about me!)...... We need to remember to breath.... We need to remember to have fun!!!!!!!! If we can't do that... Then why are we living?????

So I failed....

Ok, so this new years resolution has failed miserably!!! I was doing so good too... But with work, kids, and family stuff, it is just so hard to fit it into my schedule.... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... I make a new resolution.... To post a new post ONCE a week, instead of everyday!!!

PS. On the up side... I bought a new laptop yesterday. My other one wouldn't keep charged, so now I have this wonderful new one... YAY ME

Day 13- 80's Flashback

Last night my sister and I laid in her bed and listened to 80's music! We haven't had that much fun in a long time. We sang (Badly), laughed and had a great night!!

Thanks for letting me know how old we really are Jamie! LOVE YOU

Day 8- Is Anyone there?

Gareth informed me that no one is really reading this, so why am I updating it daily? Well, I assured him that I do have readers, and that it was the one thing that I can actually accomplish as a New Years Resolution!!!

So, tonight after working a long day, with a 7:45am meeting tomorrow, here I am updating my "hopeless" little blog (if nothing more then to prove a point, lol).

Hope someone is listening (or reading that is)!!!!!

Day 7- Top Ten Guilty Pleasures

My Top Ten Guilty Pleasures

1. Marla's Double Chocolate Fudge Cake (HEAVEN!)
2. Caffeine (Doesn't everyone need it?)
3. Outback Cheese Fries (Heart attack on a plate, but oh so good!)
4. Chicken Alfredo (Again, heart attack on a plate, but oh so good!)
5. Grey's Anatomy (Yes, I am addicted!)
6. The Biggest Loser (I love to see them succeed, and it gives me motivation!)
7. People Magazine (I love to know that stars are real people too!)
8. Facebook (I know I should be doing laundry, but FB is a lot more fun!)
9. Blogging (Even if no one is reading, I have to do it, lol)
10. Alcohol (Beer is proof God loves Us~ Benjamin Franklin)

Day 6- Riddle Time

So, here is one of Cadyn's riddles that he likes... Can you guess the answer????

a man's driving down the road with his son and they get in a crash. Two ambulances come and take the man and his son to different hospitals. Son goes into the operating room, the doctor looks at him and says, 'I can't operate on this boy. He's my son.' How's that possible?

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!!!!!

So, for New Years I have decided that I will post something everyday! That's right.... 365 posts in 1 year :) Now, don't get me wrong... It will probably be something as simple as my famous Quotes of the Day, but still..... 365 posts people!!!!!

I hope that you all had a fantastic Christmas, and a Fabulous New Years. May 2010 be a year full with laughter, love and stress free moments!!!!

Ummmm.....

So, I have been pondering death lately, and have wondered what my funeral would be like (yes, I understand this is bizarre, but just hang in there). I wonder what people would say about me- She was a great Mom, sister, friend.... But really......... Who really knows who I am besides me?

I ponder this because recently I attended a funeral of a young man. His life cut short. People talked as if they were his best friend, but were they really?

So, to all my friend/family.... Here is what I would want you to say at my funeral...

Holly was a FANTASTIC mother, her kids were her life... THE END!!!!

After the family prayer, when they close the coffin... I want "I live Survive" to start playing (yes, because I am just that weird). This will make everyone smile I am sure. They will think.... Oh My Heck!!!! She was so funny :) They will remember all the times that I made them laugh, cry, and hopefully they will think I was a GREAT person and when they hear this particular song, they will remember me!

I want "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" to play.. It is my all time favorite song! Mr. Ottis Redding was a genius! He just spoke to me with this song! So... Enough about my funeral, but just read the lyrics... I hope they bring you as much joy as it has brought me...


(SITTIN' ON) THE DOCK OF THE BAY
- written by Otis Redding and Steve Cropper

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time


Remember, you can't always please everyone! You just have to be yourself and know that you are good enough! You are just sitting by the dock of the bay.... Livin your life :)

(No I am not planning on dying anytime soon, but you never know what is around the corner!)

Oh My Hell..... Really?

I am pondering life today and what differences there have been over the years, and to tell you the truth (not like you'd know if I was lying, lol ) I am amazed!!!

All my life I have heard that fashions come back into style, but I never in a million years thought that the 80's style would.... Now, don't get me wrong... 80's is my decade, but looking back at pictures, we all looked ridiculous.

Fluorescent colors, big hair, wild makeup.... I can actually smell the Aqua Net now! Leg warmers, cut off sweaters, wow......

Now, the good side to this is when I had my birthday party back in June, I was able to find clothes for my 80's party. Bad news is... My boys liked my clothes for the 80's party!!!!

Some of the clothes we had weren't that bad, but come on.... Fluorescent colors!!!! They didn't look good back then, and they don't look good now... (Contrary to what we thought back then,lol)

Just something to think about.....

AHHHHHH!!!

So, alot has been going on in my little world. I was promoted to House Manager at Stadium 8... This is going to be very different, but good. I will miss my crew at the 6, but I think I am going to be okay!

I have also started the Biggest Loser with some of my friends, and so far I am down about 10 pounds in 2 weeks, YAY ME!!!!!

In the downside of that... I stopped drinking caffiene, and now the doctors say I have a kidney stone... I mean WTH...... I try to get healthy and I get a freaking Kidney stone, that is bullshit!!!

Just had to vent :)

Ever Wonder?

Do you have wonder????

You can wonder why, wonder when, wonder how...... This is my dilemma today. I am wondering where the time has gone. It seems like yesterday that Gareth and I first met. It seems like a blink of an eye ago, my kids were babies.... Seriously- Where does the time go?

I am also wondering why? Why does it always seem like as soon as you get into routine, you hit a speed bump or another obstacle gets into your way?

I'm wondering why there are so many curve balls and so many blessings at the same time.... It makes it really difficult to know which road to take, but I guess that is the way its supposed to be huh?

Well, here is a wonderful wondering quote that I saw and thought I would send to all of you too :)

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.-Albert Einstein

Whistle while you work

I have been thinking of Pumbaa and Timon a lot recently (for those of you who don't know who Pumbaa and Timon are, you are deprived of great Disney Culture). These two creatures have installed a work anthem for the Cinema 6. At any given time- we will randomly bust out in the most wonderful, out of tune, borderline hysterics of "Hatuna Matata". What better thing to sing at work, then no worries.. If you really think about it, it actually is very motivating. Even when you work somewhere that you don't enjoy, if you hummm a little of this song, you will get your shit done! I mean really, in all the worries of the world, why do people worry about work so much. You have to go, you don't have to like, but you have to go. There are so many other things to worry about.

So, when you are at work, at home, or at the grocery store (because you all know how much I love shopping).... Sing this, and it will make your day a little brighter.

Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase

Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries for the rest of your days

It's our problem-free philosophy

Hakuna Matata!

Something to think about!

It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible.

When I first read this quote, it really hit home. It made me think of not only myself, but my friends and family! How many times have we thought something was "impossible", just to find out that it really wasn't?

I think we get so involved in our lives that when a obstacle arises, we try to find the impossible in that said task, just so we don't have to deal with it at the moment.

I think you mom's can agree with me.... We take on so many different tasks on a daily basis, we have so many balls in the air, that sometimes if you change that, the ball drops... Tis why we say "impossible"... But, in the end, we pick up all our balls and throw them in the air again, and get the shit done!!!!

Because we are moms, and we are superhero's! LMAO

With that last line being said.... Another quote for you to think about...

No matter how far you travel or how much you run from it, can you ever really escape your past?

So just remember, you are who you are, and your past will always be worse then you remember, lol...
