Me And My World

You can find more of my writings on my other page http://dawnmariewrites.blogspot.com

I'm keeping this blog for more personal and every day adventure stuff but the other blog is more formal.  I love writing.  I have always loved writing.  I'm not sure many people read my blogs and that's okay.  When I was on Xanga I had a huge audience but here it's nothing.  That's mainly because I haven't reached out and shared these sites with others.  If you have stumbled upon this site please feel free to stay, follow, and leave comments.  I know it's probably best not to give too many personal details into my life, especially my kids, but I love having a place to write these experiences and memories.  So often I look back on something I wrote and realize that it was something I forgot about.  With a mother that has Alzheimer's there's a fear in the back of my mind that I may get it too one day.  So being able to have a place to look back is good.  Maybe I could print some of these into a hardcopy of some sort.  

Summer Is Here!

It's been awhile since I found myself being able to take a moment for the blogging world.  I'm sorry for that.  Time moves on fast and life gets busier by the day.  We have now entered into summer vacation, baseball season is ending and my daughter is preparing for her third dance recital.  I sort of enjoyed my first year as a cafeteria lady and it was a wonderful thing to be able to help fill the gaps with my paycheck but let me be honest - I'm thankful for the break.  Stepping away from all the gossip, judgement and bullying by grown ups and having an entire day where I can do whatever I choose is refreshing.  I will be back in the fall but until then I'm going to try and make this summer break worthwhile.

The school year brings us so much chaos and a hectic schedule.  The kids spend their days at school and when I'm not doing my three hours at work I'm at home trying to keep this house in some kind of order.  My husband works a full-time job and when he gets home there's one day a week he's rushing to cub scouts with our son or to baseball practice or a game.  Then I'm off to rush our daughter to dance and this year she took two classes.  My husband will still be working in the summer but I look forward to having the evenings and weekends free from scheduled events and more for relaxing and enjoying one another.

We love sitting outside by the fire just as the sun is going down.  It's a time when we can all be together and relax.   I'm looking forward to many fun adventures and also those moments when we can lay back and enjoy some peace.
