So I had a plan


Sometimes it’s good to get mad. To be upset and angered by the injustices in the world. It motivates you do something about it. Make a difference.

But sometimes it is just a waste of energy. Like this morning.  Kid one and kid two both missed their buses. Both. There was no real good reason for it. One was distracted by the cats. Yeah, that is why. The other was apprehensive about going to school and the stall tactics caused the missed bus. As I began my drive taking the kids to their individual schools, I was fuming. I had a great deal scheduled to do today before work. Now I was behind schedule and a couple of things were just not going to get done.  I was sitting at a red light I was thinking I hate feeling mad. Tense muscles and negative thoughts. Grrrr. And that’s when it occurred to me I really needed to let it go. Staying mad wasn’t going to change anything. We were all still running late. Things still weren’t going to get done no matter how mad I got. At that moment I was no longer mad because my time is precious. I will not waste it being angry if it accomplishes nothing. I believe that is what a ninja would do. Unexpected events happen to interfere with your plans, you deal and go with the flow and continue on your mission. 
My mission? 
I have many. 

Be cool

Missing a day

Where the heck did Tuesday go?
I remember Monday and today is accounted for but what happened to Tuesday.
I hope I accomplished a lot because it is all a blur now. 

Days fly by.
Weeks fly by.
Heck, the month of January is at its end. 
I hope I do not wake up tomorrow and ask where the heck did the year go.
I do not wish to rise one morning in December 2012 and say where did the year go?
Not accomplishing goals I have set for myself. Not enjoying life but treading water of a humdrum, boring life. Not being able to say that was the best year EVER! 
That is my life goal, to be able to say 'best year of my life' every year because it just keeps getting better. 
Well that goal and becoming a ninja, of course. 
I will be honest some years have been less than eventful and I have only myself to blame. I have shamefully let the stresses and the boredom of daily routine of responsibility to hinder me. Becoming stagnant. 
Now I like to go with the flow and enjoy making waves, occasionally. 
My ninja training is always exciting and challenging.
My new job is refreshing and new.
New side business is fun.
Awesome friends.
Cool Husband
Great kids
Yes, I do believe when December 2012 rolls around I will be saying, best freaking year ever!
(cause I will make it the best)

Be responsible but make sure you have fun too.

Happy but still rather be a Ninja


I got a job today!
No, I was not hired as a ninja. 
I know kind of depressing.
Just a regular job at a regular place.
Actually, I am happy. It has taken a long time to find work. 
I can't wait to start being part of the work force again.
(catch up on the bills)
I know I am lucky I got a job.
But man, I'd so rather be a Ninja. 

Still dreaming
