I'm Back

So I went on a vacation from my blog for awhile. I had so much to do with the end of the school year and summertime that I haven't had time for much else.

SO here is the latest happenings:

Allison is anxiously awaiting strating at OCHSA on August 24. She & Teresa visited both sets of grandparents for two weeks and had lots of fun.

Teresa has been enjoying the summer and tries to get me to take her swimming everyday.

Matthew is still addicted to Avatar the last airbender and loves to be out riding his bike or diggin in the dirt.

Alicia loves her barbies and digging in the dirt with Matthew.

I took the younger ones and we went to Utah with my sister Paula for 9 days. Busy time cleaning cooking and trying to help my parents. We had fun got a horrible sunburn and decided that there was a positive use for smog(Protection from the sun).

I am going through a very stressful time at work. Evidently I have recently gotten really good at getting myself into trouble. Nothing too serious but serious enough that I have to be very, very good for awhile. We will see if I am able to accomplish this monumental task. LOL

I was referred to a great site called Elance which will let me bid on jobs that I can do on the side. Pretty excited about that concept. We shall see if it turns out to be really good.

Basically though we are enjoying the summer and trying to not get to stressed out. Oh well I guess I will have to get a massage come September.

See ya @ the next post,
Rebecca

Personal Brand

So I am developing my personal brand. I am trying to decide what I am most passionate about. So far my top three are:

1. My Kids/being a mom
2. My Beliefs
3. ????

SO I am not sure which way to go. I need to pick one thing and go with it. So any ideas people may have can be useful.

My kids: I read a really great book this afternoon about being a great mom. Not about being a perfect mom but a great one. I learned some great tips for example that enjoying the journey is so important. I mean my kids say and do things all the time that I laugh at or find amusing. This book suggested writing those happenings into a notebook to share with the children when they are older. For example:

The other day my son Matt(5) and I were waiting at my other daughters school in the office for her. THere was a notice that had two stop signs on it. One had the word spelt in english and the other one had the word spelt in Spanish. matt was quite distressed that they had spelt Stop wrong. He patiently showed me which letters were correct and proudly told me which letter they were missing or had wrong. I just smiled as I explained the difference of language to him. He still didn't really get it but I was aboe to see the world through his eyes. I love it because sometimes he just hugs me and says.."Thanks mom, I love you."

I will write about my other passion tomorrow and then maybe we can have a vote.

Hey there

So I know it has been a month since I posted last and so much has happened.
I have found my self going in different directions than I had planned on some working out others not so much. I applied for a lead position at TSA so maybe I will get that we shall see.

I fell a week ago and had to face the reality that I am getting older and do not recover quite so quickly. Luckily nothing too serious..scrapes and bruised knees. I just have to be more careful.

The kids are doing great but on Wednesday night they all decided to get the stomach flu at the same time. That was so horrible. One sick is bad but all four was crazy.

The school year is winding down and yet Teresa figured out a way to get a D- on her report card in social studies because she didn't do any work. Of course I went crazy because the teacher didn't tell me that Teresa was not turning in her work. I have a conference this afternoon. Hopefully the teacher has a good explanation for how this happened(besides Teresa's laziness).

Matt has moved forward but will be ina special day 1st grade because he cannot handle a regular class without an aide. hopefully we can eventually get there but for now we just want him to be happy and successful.

Alicia loves her preschool. She goes three morning a week and has a great time socializing with other children her age.

Allison is looking forward to OCHSA and I think that is all that gets her through each day at the school she goes to know. I like to refer to it as a prison but...that is a story for another day.

My life I feel is like a rollercoaster. I wish it was a tame one but alas it is a wild ride most days. Maybe someday it will settle down.

That's all for now I will post more frequently, now that I am not in training anymore and just back to being an awesome mom.

Change is in the air

Well the letter came and Allison got into Orange County High School of the Arts - production & design conservatory. We are so happy for her. It is a great school and she will grow so much. There is a certain amount of fundraising we must do so if you want to help then just send me an email.

The other kids are all plugging along and growing and changing. I am in a growth process myself. I am excited to work with buisnesses to grow them.

I have been thinking lately that I like helping people. I like doing things for others but I also need to do things for me. So I am on the hunt to find things to improve me. I am going to be joining Shauna on the 30 challenge with Visalus. I also have recommitted to working out and putting my health first. I am important also.

If you are on LinkedIn, please look for me and connect with me. I am always looking for great professional contacts.

All for now,
Rebecca Robinson
