where is everyone?

So i’ve actually found myself to be logging on to good ol’ OD much more often lately.. Could it be that the money is running tight and i’m just too tempted at gymbofriends??  probably..   well at least that’s the reason i started to be here more often, but now i’m actually remembering how much i love this place!

the only negative?? Where is everyone?? Seriously there is like 2 new entries posted by my fav’s (book marks???) ALL DAY.  That is wierd.. it just seems that i’m not the only one that has ceased to document every single life event in this here journal..  However I really do miss it.. so here i am..

Anyway, it’s raining today, all day.  Ick.  Maya went to a birthday party for a little girl from school, the rest of us are kind of bored.  Stuck in the house.. well actually Charles went fishing in the rain.  Well it’s raining on and off..he really wanted to get out of the house. i don’t blame him.. He went to this cute little manmade pond at the park we take the girls too and he’s caught a couple bigger fish.. so he’s having a good time.  It will be fun to take the girls fishing over there.. Hopefully the bigger fish don’t break their little barbie/princess poles though! LOL!

I’ve spent the last few minutes sending my information (application/resume) to the buffalo city school district.  I like my job, but i need to make more money.  If i can make $10,000 more/year in Buffalo, i’d be a fool to not even try..

Hey a good thing happened for me today.  Not having a HOUSE (as in not an apt) to live in has really been bugging me lately.  Not that i usually care, because i don’t, too much.  But now that my girls are in school i really want to put down roots somewhere for them. Somewhere where I know that they will be in the same school district year after year,  kwim?

But anyway, it isn’t feasible at the moment so i really should just count my blessings.  So I was kind of feeling "bummed?" about this when i picked up the new Parenting magazine and in it there was an article about middle class families like mine, that are now homeless due to the lovely economic times we are in..

I didn’t even read the whole article, but it really helped turn my thinking around.  I mean, i don’t think a desire to buy a house is a bad thing, but it’s not that important, and I DO have a TON of blessings!  I have a place to live, great kids and an amazing man..

what more can i really ask for?
