A Free Weekend

Monday, April 11, 2011
Well, for the first time in a long time, except when I was overseas, I did not do anything for work or the Association this past weekend.  I have been constantly working on PowerSchools, the Communication Committee and Pass the Budget Committee for the district as well as the Association.  A continuous evening and weekend life of spreadsheets and data manipulation. It actually felt good not working on.

I did do work around the house though.  I went through all the Christmas boxes from the playroom and started throwing out stuff and putting other items aside to sell or give away.  My husband of course had to complain about how much I was saving but I explained I would not throu out stuff my Mom made, the kids ornament collection or special momento's.

I also straightened up my room so I could get to the corner of the room where I thought stink bugs were coming in.  I think they might be coming in someplace else since I vacumned up 67 of them in three hours in my room. Sorry, had to vacumn some more. I did tell my husband that he needs to really check the one window in my room in case they might be coming in from there. The really bad thing is I can't even open that window for air because it is rotted and the room is like 85 degrees.  Yes, we had a hot day today.  It will cool off by 20 degrees tomorrow. So until another day.

Life is a journey, not a destination

Sunday, April 3, 2011
Life is a remarkable journey that takes us up and down a road of happiness, growth,  interaction, love, fear and sometimes pain and hardship, which comes with all the good we are blessed with. Everyone has their own journey, yet we all experience the same emotions and struggles that  are synonymous with life. Our journey will begin with our cry at birth and end with our last breath at  death.

So that is why this site will cover a lot of the aspects of my life's journey including my ancestral past. I hope you get a glimpse of who I am.
