This weekend was pretty lazy weekend..... which was very nice. I had to work Saturday until noon, which was not too bad. My son got a job!! Yes I am very proud of him! He likes and and takes it very seriously.. a little more than school it seems. He wants to add to his bank account, to save for a car. He is now sleeping! LOL.. getting up at 6 am and working until 3, on Saturday and Sunday are rough for a teen! Making a nice dinner Beef Stronganoff.... off for now,.. he has risen from his slumber.. so dinner and a game of cards or board game.:)
Until Next time,
Love Tara

You have to make it happen!

The other day I received a phone call from someone I had not spoken to in years. As the conversation progressed, it became apparent that she was struggling financially. She is a very educated woman, that is married with a child. Her and her Husband are are musicians , they are not making any money. I suggested that she get a job in the meantime until they get a steady gig, since her husband is home as well. He could watch the baby. I was told she cant leave the 2 year old, she nurses and cant pump, baby would not like if she was gone. But how will the baby like not having a home? Or food, water, electricity? So I suggest getting a part time job waitressing, when baby is sleeping, or a coffee shop, retail, cleaning anything. She is appalled that I suggest that since she has a degree and would not work for such a little job. OK but your degree is making you money by you doing nothing with it? Don't think so. Here she is no money on the verge of being homeless, or whatever it may be, and she is too educated to work??? So I went on to tell her that after my sons father passed away, and he was a newborn I went to school. I also worked 2 jobs! I did this for about 5 years. Now I own 2 businesses and work my tail off. Now I am able to enjoy life, and do what I would like... all that from started from two $10.00 and hour jobs for me! No one is going to rescue anyone, you have to do it your self! So I say suck it up... sometimes you have to do what you don't want to do, to get where you want to be.

The Oscars~~ for mom too.

I watched some of the Oscars last night... but missed Sandra Bullocks speech and award. She gave all the moms tribute, and made us all feel like we won an oscar too.
It also made me think of all fights with our kids to do the right things, making them mad at us.. Having rules the find silly, and feeling like we are not getting through to them. This clip make it all go away, and know that we are raiseing children that can turn out like Sandra Bullock.
Enjoy the clip!

Magic Dust??

Today was well down right awful, it started last night and creeped into today..until about noon nothing looked like it would ever be OK. I needed something to fix everything.. I was overwhelmed. Big time. So I was able to vent to a good friend. And she made me mad. Told me that I am a strong woman, and I will overcome this, and not to let it get me down. That I always am able to move on in the right light. Well I was not happy with her. I did not want to fix it, I am tired of always having to fix things, and scramble at the last minute. No I am not going to be ok, I am done I told her. So all day I was annoyed. Until I breathed in a huge cloud of dust at work... that made sneeze like crazy, then made me laugh. After that I was smiling...guess what, when you smile you cannot stay mad. Impossible to do. So I smiled like a crazy person to keep feeling better. I knew now that even though things are not as I wanted them, and will still be hard, I would be OK. All my day needed was little magic dust to make me smile.
