Monday Woes...Mommy Guilt

This is what Mondays feel like for me.  I have no idea why, I don't need to go into work, nothing really special happens on my Mondays, I just don't like them. Oh well I will live with them I guess.

Well lets just say many things have happened since I last talk to you all.  I found the school that Z-man goes too is not teaching him anything, I know that sounds harsh, but he is in the first grade for the second time and he is still at a Kinder reading level.  The powers that be tested him for the supplemental reading program but he didn't qualify, tell me how that is possible.  So the hubs and I resorted to outside help through Huntington Learning Centers at the cost of an arm and a leg but if it helps the Z-man then it is worth it.  They evaluated him and the results were astounding.  I makes me feel like I failed him somewhere along the line. 

 Mommy guilt through and through.

Did I not read enough to him, teach him.  Ugh I hate Mommy Guilt it has been running through me all weekend.  I know they always say don't compare your kids but how can you not when one kids excels and one does not. Why happen to the one, what did I do wrong.  These are all the question going through my mind this week.  

So readers what is your mommy guilt? and How do I combat mine?

Monday, Monday

Yes it is that dreaded day MONDAY!!!! Time to get back to work, to-do lists, school and whatever else.  Well I have lots on my to-do list this week since last week I was laid up with the worse sinus infection know to man thanks to the lovely cedar in my part of the world.



This weeks to-do list:

• Sign up for Event Planning class through ACC
• Find sitter for Tuesday nights 
• work on my floral portfolio 
• work on resume' (what do you put on a resume' when you haven't worked in 10 years)
• Find tutor for Z-man
• Take down Christmas tree ( I know you don't have to tell me)
• Pay Property Taxes (blech)
• Do meal plan for the week

Those are just the major things, I still have tons of laundry and cleaning to add to that, Sigh...another week in the life of a stay at home mom trying to make it back into the world of the working.  What is on your to-do list this week.

Onto another subject pertaining to my to-list.

I really need help for my resume', what do I put that I did for the last 10 years? House manager, stay at home mom and all that entails, I NEED HELP, I guess it is time to Google that, huh.  If you have any suggestions let me know.  

I think I need a song of the day, what do you think?

Monday Woes...

So today was a complete and utter failure on my part. I had every intention of being productive today and get things done around here but my body had other plans. I hate Mondays anyway but to feel like I do today just made it that much worse, not even my favorite music could bring me out of my funk today. I have felt like shit today and really have no reason for it other than a headache. Anyway I will quit wallowing.

My Fan Fiction addiction has taken one of my favorite things away. Yesterday I was being a good mother and wife and was making a pot roast for Sunday dinner well I got to reading and needless to say I lost track of time and burned the pot roast to a crisp and had to throw away my favorite Farberware Dutch Oven. The roast was stuck to the bottom and took half of the teflon off when I tried to clean it. This is not the first time this has happened either, I think the addiction has gone a little to far, don't you?

So since my addiction is out of hand why don't I give you some Fan Fiction Recommendation to feed your addiction:

Clipped Wings and Inked Armor by HunterHunting

Maybe I'm Falling for You by Coldplaywhore and Flightlessbird11. ColdPlaywhore is one of my favorite Fan Fiction Authors and she probably gets tired of me saying that but really all of her stuff is great check it all out. Flightlessbird 11 has another story out there too that is really good: Someone to Watch Over Me

That is all for today hopefully tomorrow I will be in a better mood.

Mondays...weekend recap

Good Morning everyone, I hope your week is starting out great. Mine could be better but I will try to look on the brightside of things for now. 1. It is a beautiful fall day here in Central Texas, nice and cool, clear blue sky, 2. The kids are out of the house today so it is quiet here after an eventful and loud weekend 3. Today is my Hubby's birthday, Happy Birthday Love, your older than I am, ha ha and finally 4. Did you see the Vanity Fair photos of my Crush, Rob could you get any sexier, they made my weekend.







I would also like to say congrats to UT on a stellar win against the OSU Cowboys, it was a fantastic game, keep it up and YOU COULD GO ALL THE WAY!!!!

The kids had a great time trick or treating this weekend and ran around like banshees because of the sugar high until about 11 that night and then proceeded to wake up at the crack of dawn because of the time change and yesterday seemed like the longest day ever, I thought it was never going to end and then I couldn't fall asleep so really it didn't end for me, but I slept in a little this morning. I will post again later today with a Thanksgiving recipe, It will be a turkey one, starting with main dishes this week. Talk to ya'll later
