4/20/2010

Woke to day to gloomy weather. It was still warm enough to crack the windows and let the fresh air in. About a week ago I started an exercise program to try and lose some weight. I didn't get my exercise in yesterday so I guess i will have to make it up this week but going 40 min instead of 30 min. I am tired of being overweight but am frustrated that this is going to take a while to take off. Anyway had to grocery shopping not my favorite thing to do.While there I watched a mom struggle with a screaming child. I could see the frustration on her face. She commented that she didn't understand why the child was acting like a brat to her husband. I could tell the child was tired but on top of that later I seen her buying a candy for the child to shut her up. It worked. The child has learned to act up so she gets candy from what I observed. The mother wasn't happy with me when I suggested she not reward her bad behavior and see if she stops acting up in the store. I know I should have kept my thoughts too myself but I couldn't help it. I have seen so many parents now a days wondering why the child doesn't behave when simple observations would soon show you why they act like little monsters. Okay off the soap box for now. I came home and watched old episodes of Bones. I love the forensics of this show. I like the how and why of the show. And now I need to get my kids to go to sleep because they have school in the morning. Thanks for listening to my vent for today.

About Me

I haven't ever blogged before. I thought I would try this new fad. I am not even sure what to write about. I guess I could introduce myself. I am a mom of three kids. I am a stay at home mom but may go to work soon. I wanted to be at home while they were young but now that they are all in school I am thinking of working. Of course I would want to get home about the same time they do.I haven't worked in 11 yrs so I am not sure I could find a job or even want to be tied to a work schedule. Anyway I wanted to start blogging to jot down thoughts and events of raising my kids. I also am toying with the idea of writing a book. A romance is what I want to write but when and where..not decided. I have a few ideas like maybe a fantasy or historic romance. Not sure. I do know I want to base it on my experiences that way it would be sorta realistic. Well I better end this for now and maybe I will write more later.
