...quite a minute I know

Wow...August 2008 since my last blog ? Pretty bad I know. I have to get back on it. It was a refreshing time for me and it has to be done again. Oh well, let me update on some things...

I am enjoying my new career but it may not possibly be enjoying me pretty soon. Hopefully nothing drastic will happen but I will move on to other endeavors if needed. I have a growing son and I am willing to do whatever it takes...legally...to take care of him and myself. Note I said him and then me...I wish some parents would do that in that order too. Selfish people...BLAH!!

I am trying to get some things taken care of in my life and adapt to new things that should have been adapted almost 30 years ago. Yes, I will be 30 years old in 7 months...I got to get it together...

And I am!! More updates soon.... :)

The A/C blues

Yall, it is too hot out here. Memphis is experiencing heat advisories everyday ! Heat index is 108. My son asked me what were we doing today. I told him ABSOLUTELY nothing. Too hot ! I went to the store to pick up a few things, and when I walked out of the store, walking back to my truck, my shirt was plastered to me as if I had been outside for a long time.I felt so gross and decided that I will not go back outside until the sun is gone. Maybe. Not too sure about getting back outside because Memphis does have humidity. So, when I say I am ready for fall weather...I truly mean it. We need some balance !!! Whew...where is my fan ?

I did what ?

Well, I did it. I didn't think I could hold out this long. But, I did it. I cut my hair off again. And, it is super cute. But, for the first time, I was so scared when I saw how much hair was really gone. I became self conscious. I have never been that way when it comes to my hair. Yes, I am admitting this for the first time. I have gotten plenty of comments such as "I am not surprised" or "You waited this long" or " you are always cutting you hair". But, I actually commented this time, "what the heck where you thinking?". The beauty of all this is that at this time my hair is able to grow pretty quickly so no scissors at this time to maintain. I need a little more hair on my head before I call Edwina Scissorclaws to my head again.

Can I borrow a lung?

This morning, at seven am, friday morning, I went wajogging (yes, that is my word). It was nice, but boy did I feel everything that is out of shape ! My friend, who has been jogging since last October, was way ahead of me. I ,who thought could be a big girl about it, attempted to run with her. That ended after 45 seconds. I couldn't breathe ! So, I didn't stop completely, I walked at a fast past and was breathing through my nose and out of my mouth. My chest was burning. I walked past a neighbor and she said, "your friend left you? Go run some laps around her." I politely asked the lady as I walked through her sprinklers, "no thanks,can I borrow a lung?"

schoolsupplies.com

School time is getting close. Whew. Summer has truly flown by! Boy am I glad. LOL ! I have reviewed my son's school supply list and it is very long. Some of the items I buy all the time because it includes kleenex and ziplock bags. But, the other items will have to be bought from other stores. I really wish I could purchase those items online just like the uniforms that I am purchasing. Is that being lazy? Have I become a lazy school shopping mom?

Intro

I do not know much about being a self starting blogger, but I think it is a cool thing. I participate in other blogs with other groups and thought to myself hey, I can start my own too. It will not be anything super fancy. I will just vent about me, interesting topics, and the adventure of my life being a modern day single mom, affectionately known as "Modern Mommi". Hope you enjoy !
