This was the "lost" post. I just noticed it was saved as a draft...Yay!
Hello all! This is my first "blog" and I'm so excited to get started. I'm going to try to be a regular blogger; but I'm a Domestic Engineer or a stay-at-home MaMa, so my time is gold even though I treat it like copper sometimes. But Mamas need downtime too! So hence my ambitious try at blogging...tadaaa! Besides downtime & therapy (Lol) it is also another way I'm trying to get myself sleepy enough to knock-out! I wish I could transfer the thoughts from my head as they come up instantly to this blog, then I would for sure be a blogging machine. I have A LOT to say. I'm a chatterbox. I just hope I don't write one big run-on sentence. By starting this blogging thingy I'm also trying to show my sibling that you can blog and have decent grammar! Was that a run-on?
If you notice the time, especially my East Coast family I am a little bit of an insomniac...just a lil. But I'm working on it, (stop laughing, I know I've been working on it for years!) but it's been tough because the last 2 weeks I've been on a vicious cycle of going to sleep late and then drinking coffee to stay up the next day and then not being able to sleep all over again....and that's what happened today...again. I need to stop. So tomorrow I will try to drink greeen teeaaa, woohoo! My doctor told me it was better for me if I want to get some rest. It has something in it that kills the caffeine that it has to begin with plus it has antioxidants that are good for you ;) I think I can do it, as long as I don't smell the rich delicious smell of coffeee...Wait! she did say it takes 7 hours to get rid of 1/2 of the caffeine in a cup. I wonder if it's the same equation when you add espresso?! Anyway, according to my calculations if I wake up SUPER early and have my delicious double tall vanilla deliciousness, then the caffeine will be out of my system early! I need to go to sleep...Good Night!!
(Oh, almost forgot, I would like to thank my three followers thus far. You've helped me actually start. I felt like I was waiting for people to take their seats at a meeting or some seminar so I could start. And there you are, sitting pretty waiting for me to start babbling I mean blogging! Thank you for your support...I would like to also thank all the little people, the academy, my dog,....LoL...Love you guys!)

Rule 1 & 2
So, I was able to save my first entry by printing out a window that showed me the preview of it. It just happened to stay open on my computer. I just have to retype the whole thing. Which will probably be next time since "time is gold" and I really wanted to put this post up. So don't give up on me! Just knowing that I have this blog, makes me "air blog" a lot (Lol-like playing "air guitar") The challenge for me is and seems that it will always be, finding or taking the time to blog. But I'm sure after a few times I might get addicted or o.c.d. about it ;-p
Now for today's post: I spoke to my mom last night and we got into a conversation about her situation. She's in the states trying to see a doctor, but she has to go through a long process to do so and is staying with a friend. Of course by now it seems like she's overstayed her welcome, so some issues are coming up with some family members where she's staying at. What drives me crazy is that if she would have planned a little better she wouldn't be in this situation. If you knew how she brought us up, you would feel the frustration because we were taught to 1.Figure it out & 2. Plan ahead. Two things my mom seems to struggle with now, or lost along the way. Which stinks because she really needed to stick to those rules so she wouldn't be going through these hardships now. So I have come to the conclusion that I mistakenly thought my parents taught me Rule 1 & 2. It turns out it was just another case of "Do as I say not as I do". (Parents, don't do this to your kids! It WILL backfire!) It seems like the only ones that really lived up to Rule 1 & 2 so far have been my grandmother and my uncle.
Even though my mom is going through a tough situation she has always had my grandmother to back her up. Maybe that's what happened. My grandma has always been weak with her. And through all the bickering and complaining, my mom knows 110% she can count on grandma to bail her out. So even though there are blind and cripple people & in worse conditions out there hustling my mom gets excused. She really believes that she can't hustle anymore, so she's been excusing herself for years. But don't tell her that because those are fighting words!
I think that actually believing that you can't do something is like a poison, it cripples your will to move forward or make any type of effort. Basically you give up. Some people even wait around for some type of hero to save them that most likely, will never come. Take action SNAP OUT OF IT! You CAN do it!
If anyone was empathetic at one time with my mom, it was me. I understand some of her ailments since I have them too. But I've had to push forward and take it one day at a time whether I like it or not. Especially because I have things to do, places to go and people that depend on me even if it's just to listen to them. I don't have a mom to back me up and spoil me. I appreciate the not spoiling, but it would be nice though to have motherly support sometimes, that I won't deny. This is why I loooove my close friends so much. They are my extended family and I know I can depend on them when I need a listening ear and even improvised motherly support!
Well everybody, thanks for visiting I will post as soon as I can. But for right now I have to go help the next generation 1. Figure it out and 2. Plan ahead! ...Lol
See you next blog! :-)
