Have I tried, yes, Am I giving up, Hell NO!

Have I tried to make things easier? yes, have I been successful, a little. Am i determined to succeed, absolutely! It has been months since I have sat down to work on this blog and I apologize. My life as usual spiraled out of control because as always, I am a sucker for a good cause. I dedicate everything I have to something and find that I can stop giving. Even if it hurts me. I seem to always get tied up the wrong crowd. It is good to know that I have some real true honest wonderful friends who always support me no matter what stupid thing I get into. Some of the wonderful projects I have worked on this year are WIOX, WIOX one year anniversary, Morning Radio with High school students, afterschool radio club, GEOFUN workshop, Stop motion animation workshop, Blogging workshop with kids in the garden. Roxbury Sidewalk festival,  and much more. I am currently working on a big project with GRLIC and RCS that will be announced in just a few weeks. Moving GRLIC to a new location on Main st., Roxbury. The RCS Garden Project that will bring the garden to the teachers more easily. And much much more.....

I have had a wonderful and fulfilling time on my radio show on WIOX- Java with some fabulous people including Glen Pedersen, and Joe Moskowitz. with all this going on, I have kinda missed out on some fabulous family time and that is what is making me think this morning. Time with Family and friends is the most important time you can ever spend. A lot of times it is not the amount of time, especially if it is forced on your loved ones but the quality of the time. Here is what I mean.....

The other day, my daughter who is leaving for college this Sunday, came by to see me. This summer has been difficult one as we really struggle to pay the bills, so both my college bound daughters have been working their butts off. Not to much time to spend with family available when you work 24/7 which they have all summer long. Anyways, She stopped by and spent maybe 25 minutes with me. We spent 10 minutes just hugging. no talking.... just hugging..... It was the best 10 minutes of my summer. Remember it's the little moments that make life worth living.....

So today, I sent out 10 resumes for work at so many different jobs... I am hoping something might materialize over the next few weeks. if not, there goes all the hard work we have put in. It will all be okay because no matter what else happens, I still have my wonderful children and husband to hold on to. Have a great day!

Monday Morning, I made it through another week, looking forward to this one!

Wow, It is Monday again! What a relief. I am so happy I have made it through another week with out quitting my job, going insane or telling someone off. This is a great accomplishment for me as this is what I want to do everyday. I feel like I live with so much anger and it really is not a good thing. Trying to find ways to control all of my emotions with out pushing them away and just being depressed. I would rather feel them and get them to slowly go away then push them away and just feel blah! Oh, well, things are going well. although, I am not working today because I am not able to. This weekend was a whirl wind with Birthday party Friday and good friends stopping by camp for a celebration, One of my friends got a great job! and we were so happy for her. You know who you are out their... congrats! Saturday was graduation and I presented an award to two of  Roxbury Central School's graduating seniors. That was really rewarding. I love giving back to the community. I wish I w

Friday!

Well TGIF! Not because I am waiting for the weekend but because I am excited. This weekend is my niece's wedding. I am sure it will be the perfect. So are you wondering what has been going on and how my day went on Wednesday. Well, It is really hard to let old habits die! I went in to my old job and they asked me to come in a few days a week for the next few weeks to help them get things organized. If I was really turning over a new leaf, I would have said no, right? Well, being the good hearted person I am, I said I would. At least I can pay some bills for the next few weeks. I am ok this week as my ex boss is on vacation. Next week, may be another story. Today, I am going back there to work from 9-4. not really looking forward to it but it is only for a few weeks. I did get to do some fun stuff yesterday, I went shopping for the radio station to purchase new computers. I went to the apple store for the first time. I really did not like it. I hate loud places and that place is

The Weekend!

Yesterday, my second born daughter (I have four so I really have to number them in order of appearance and that does not include all the ones who are friends of my daughters who I have adopted along the way.)Nevada turned 17. We had a wonderful dinner at the camp (my second home most of the time) strip steak, green beans and hashbrowns (this is a family favorite!). Sarah (the youngest) blew up balloons and they danced around the campsite. Amy (second youngest)as usual was nowhere to be found. My lifes worry. (all my family and friends from when I was young would say that she is payback for my behavior when I was younger, I don't disagree!) I secretly think of her as my favorite sometimes but not always! Desi, the oldest, made cupcakes and decorated them in purple and green. Our campsite neighbors and good friends came for cupcakes too. There was frizbee and soccer balls flying. so much fun. So what did I do that was new. My two oldest daughters taught me how to play a card game. No
