I'm a Momma again!!!


I'm a Momma again!!!!  Three years ago, our collie Heidi died.  Tim & I both decided finally it was time to get a collie again.  Her name is Freya.  She is a good puppy, well as far as puppies go.  She is rather well behaved, but still gets in trouble.

I've been working two part-time jobs, both are relatively close to home.  We figured that for the first month I could go home for lunch to give the puppy potty breaks.  She has done really well, she can now hold it all day so that I could work full time.

I am looking for either another part-time job to go with the two I have, or one full time job.  I'm fine with having another part-time job as I do enjoy the two places I work at.

My daughter currently lives in Illinois, with her boyfriend.  I have two beautiful granddaughters.  I just wish I could see them more often than once or twice a year.

I am approaching the big 5-0 in a few months, it just doesn't seem possible.  I still feel like I am in my 30's, well mentally anyway.  My body feels like it is 50 or more.  I am noticing more symptoms of menopause every year.  My memory is having issues, my legs heat up in the evening, I have trouble sleeping & my eyesight is continually getting worse.  Parts of this really suck.  But then I hear of a woman who has worse symptoms and am thankful that mine are not so bad.

Overall, life is pretty good.  I just seem to feel bored.  Not sure why, but I am working on getting the ambition to start quilting & sewing.  I just don't have the confidence of using the machine, I haven't even threaded the needle yet.  I used my mom's machine when I was 13 or 14 and almost ruined it.  I've been scared of using one since.  I've watched other people use them, they make it look easy.  I just know that I have a problem with the co-ordination.  That is also why I tried to get a Motorcycle endorsement, but decided that I should just quit trying.  I came to the realization that it was for the safety of myself & others that I should not get my Motorcycle endorsement.  We sold the motorcycle my hubby had bought for me after I decided.  I enjoy being on the back of his motorcycle and I didn't want the stress of driving.  I'm happy I decided this.  I am not a quitter, just being sensible.
