What Goes Around Comes Around

After working for a pointless 2 hours this morning, I spent the day with this beauty...

And this stud muffin, watching Inspector Gadget, Pink Panther and, what else, Cars!

Even with all the excitement of having the kids here life still happens.

I feel like I have felt some of my own medicine shoved down my throat the past couple of days.

No bueno!

It's amazing how so much can change over a 3 day period.

Change.... uughhhhh.

Today has been one of those days... the ones you just want to be over.

"Remember it is important at times to focus on your direction rather than your location, especially when your location sucks!"

Here is this post's song. (yes ally, i stole it from you)

Short and Sweet

Haven't posted for a very long time... it seems.

Nothing much to blog about.

My sister and her kids are here for a month! It has been so much fun having them here. Seeing how much they have changed over the year I haven't been able to see them. I will post when I have pictures. But I have taught Afton (2 yr. old) how to throw rocks in the ocean! Better than teaching her how to spit.... which may still come.....

I start tutoring again tomorrow. Not gonna lie, I have enjoyed staying up late and sleeping in.

Found this quote while cleaning tonight... and loved it instantly.

"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows"

And I really feel like this song fits into my life right now.

Have a great weekend!!

Patience

I was inspired by Ally's blog this morning (check her out, cause I talk about her a lot)

This has been a rough week for me. Lots of realizations and boredom... After reading Ally's blog post about timing I felt silly. Good things comes to those who wait.... in other words, be patient!!!

I realized how impatient I really am when it comes to waiting for that something good to come.

I realized I am kind of a control freak and that I can't nor do I want to control others.

That would be too stressful.

I realized that sometimes assumptions make an... well you know what it does.

I realized expectations will be met as long as they

are realistic and not jumping too far ahead.

I realized I am kind of crazy... might have had an adult tantrum this week.

(who does that? I did apparently) But I do hear crazy girls are worth it ;D

I realized I am a negative thinker when it comes to myself

I realized I let fear run me more than it should... if at all!

I realized I miss watching baseball games and flag football.

I realized I don't live by my own motto... LEAVE IT ALONE!!!

But realizing things is the first step to becoming better.... Can't I be better already?

What have you realized this week?

Hope everyone has a great weekend! My sister and her kids come tomorrow! Super excited.

Also tomorrow is Father's Day. I don't know about you, but my dad is the COOLEST. He quotes Nacho Libre and Napolean. He throws it back just as good as he takes it. He listens to Spanish music at 5 a.m. He digs ditches and gets excited about mowing the lawn. I love my dad. I couldn't have a better one! Love you padre!

Dream Day

I wish this was mine and got to drive it all day, everyday.

Change

Ever had to deal with change?

I feel like I have had lots of change in my life... LLLLOOOOOOOTTTTSSSSSS

I clean at night...alone. Therefore I have lots of time to reflect on my life.

My thoughts for the past few nights have been on the change in my life.

Change is defined as: To make or become different; alter. To replace with or exchange for another. To transform or convert or be transformed or converted.

I feel like I have been altered and became different. For the better, but it hasn't been easy.

Ever heard the phrase... "Go with the flow?"

I have determined the 'flow' and I do not get along, like two roommates that just don't talk cause they despise the other one for not cleaning....

But seriously, I have been told all about the flow (lots and lots and lots and lots... Yo!) and how we come to 'bends' or 'forks' in it... as life progresses. I feel like I am on a white river rafting trip and am constantly having to choose right or left, getting splashed along the way.

Ugh!

But I am looking ahead. And being happy.

I am good at that.

In my new found... ness I have fallen in love with my new summer song.

Have a listen. I just love it.

I also love this song.

and this one

Oh and want a laugh... this song will make you FREAK OUT!! It is not what you expect it to be.... promise to not think less of me before listening to it.....

Needless to say, I am listening to a lot more country these days ;D

Hope everyone has a great weekend

Today

Ally I swear I am not trying to take your thunder from Music Mondays. Promise. I just tend to go on tangents looking for songs I have never heard. I found this one this morning and this one.

I just love Lady A.

I need to buy EVERYTHING of theirs ASAP.

Thought I'd share it. I have a weak spot for country love songs.

Always have, always will....

Did you know, on youtube, if you put in an artist it will give you a mix of a bunch of their songs...

Who needs to buy music anymore!

ANYWAYS.....

You know how I usually am not a fan of Wednesday's?

If you aren't a regular, I despise them. However,this Wednesday seems to be a little different.

Basically...... I am excited for this Wednesday!

It better not do it's normal slower than life Wednesday-ness.

Hope you all have a FANTASTIC Wednesday.

Cause I think this will be the best for me in a long time.

Deleting and Shout Outs

I did it! I finally just did it. NO MORE FACEBOOK FOR KATIE!

thanks Ally

I didn't think it would feel so good. I feel free almost. Now I can become obsessed with blogging.... uhhhhh probably not. But I feel like I have deleted some extra baggage in my life. I think everyone should try to delete something from their life that just really doesn't matter. I seem to be deleting lots of things lately. Cheesy, yeah I know, but it's how I feel. I just want to do everything I can to be like Clara (hey girl!)

Today is my last day of work until Tuesday! Whoop Whoop. I hope today flies by. This weekend I will be helping family friends move to Bellingham. I have never been there before, so this should be exciting. I hope to see a couple old friends, but we will see how it all goes.

I want to give a couple shout outs. Since I have left school my blog seems to be getting more attention then I am used to. Which makes me feel like a dead artist who gets popular and makes millions once they are dead.....hmmmm

Anyways, I want to give a shout out to Spoon! You make me laugh with your random texts and you should head back to Rexburg so you can date awesome girls. Hate to brake it to you, but North Dakota doesn't have much of a selection. Clara, Jacqui and Kirsta.... stop being awesome. Jacqui have you seen any .... lately? I think you all should come visit here soon. It could be fun!

I also want to let everyone know that I love mail! Once upon a time I would get a letter once a week, I really grew to love getting mail. I got a letter from Clara yesterday, literally made my day. So basically write me! I promise I will write back. It isn't a very known fact about me, but I send packages sometimes ;D

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I just heard this song while writing this post. I think I LOVE it! Check it out

Billy Currington seems to always get it right.
