12.29.2011

2012 is almost here.  I have to admit, this past week has been very emotional, very moving and very eye-opening.  I can't say that I was really looking forward to going into 2012 with all of the negatives I have to work on this year but I am grateful to be here and grateful to still have a chance to change some things and to perfect others.

I have a list of things to work on this year, yes a list.  Not resolutions, just some things that I've been pushing to the side or flat out ignoring.  I'm not doing that in 2012.   I'm getting back to facing things head-on and grabbing the bull by the horns.  Yes, honey, I'm ready to wrestle and shake some things up.  I can feel in my soul that 2012 will be a wonderful year. I'm not sure how but it will be.  That's a promise I'm making to myself.

12.15.2011

I haven't blogged in about a week.  I've had a lot on my mind but nothing I really wanted to blog about.  I still need to make some changes in my life.  I'm so off track that I feel as if I'm looking at life through a cloudy, cracked piece of glass.  Deep sigh.  Something has got to give.....

P.S.

Somewhere, I have lost a day.  I originally titled this 12.14.2011. Today is 12.15.2011 and even though I previewed the post before publishing it, I still didn't catch it.  Proof that I'm off track.

GPA 12.08.2011

I always tease my youngest daughter and call her a nerd.  Actually, I'm relieved that she's really into school.  At 15, she could be doing so many other bad things.  I'm hoping those smarts will pay off in a big way when it comes time to apply for college.

She's had a cellphone since the age of 10 when she started walking home from the bus stop but she got her first smart phone earlier this year.  She's always talking about her grades and what she has in this class or that class.  One day we were talking and she was holding her phone, like most teenage girls these days and started punching in something on the screen, which I assumed was a text message.  WRONG.  She was inputting information into her GPA app!  This app allows her to keep track of her GPA every time she gets a new grade.  Technology is something else.

I don't know who created the app she has on her phone but thank you for such an awesome app!

Children 12.3.2011

I woke up this morning to sound of the news blaring, only to hear of yet another child missing and it just broke my heart.  Children are going missing or being murdered at alarming rate in the U.S.  It's very sad.  What happened to people protecting the children?

The older children are turning to crime in record numbers, killing other children, stealing, so many bad things that used to only be done by adults.  I just don't know what is going on.  Something went wrong and somehow things have to change.

Children are our future and with all of the things they are going through, the future does not look promising at all.

But what do we do?  How do we change things?
