Road Map of Life Link Up from Renee's Joy Journey

Funny how when asked where do you see yourself in 5 years I usually do not have an immediate answer. 5 Years ago it would have been get a degree, have my second child and get a teaching job. Lucky enough ... so said so done. I was fortunate to acquire a Degree in Literature, have my second child (blessed baby girl) and got a teaching job in a private school that my husband originally went to. So how set with Renee's challenge I have to ask myself that question again.

Where do I see myself in 5 years????

Short Term Goals would be this summer holiday planned at the end of the month. I am taking my son to Universal Studios. Personally he started getting night seizures at the beginning of the year, and seeing what we both went through we both need a little break. I am also hoping to have a family outing with the husband and 2 kids, but that will probably be Down the Islands (Trinidad). 
 
Another one of my short term goals is to repaint my home and probably get some floor boards down on the lower level of the house. Plus start preparing for Christmas. With over 40 presents to purchase I tend to start from the September month. 

Long Term Goals would be to get my Masters in Education which will take about 2 years of studies. This is something I really want to do for myself. Also I would love to get one of my books published. This is something I have to put in the forefront to achieve.

Another long term goal is to (please God) have my son complete the medication he is taking for his night seizures and hope that the treatment was effective enough to stop it.

Most importantly I hope to appreciate and enjoy life. 
I hope not to take life and love for granted and respect all those who come into my life. 
I hope that whoever I meet I give them good vibrations and a positive outlook.
I hope to laugh a lot, cry a little and keep those most precious to me close.

    I like your vision for the next five years. I'm saying prayer that your little boy will be healed from the night seizures.

    Blessings, Renee

    Wonderful goals :) I am a former teacher, and now I stay at home with out little girl. I see you have a degree in Literature. Does that make you a hs English teacher? I was a hs English and Journalism teacher!

    Many prayers for your son; I hope that the medication gets the results you are looking for.

    Thanks for stopping by Call Her Happy. I am having fun poking around here as well :)

WW ... Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2

I went .... I saw .... I conquered :) Monday Evening: "Honey can you watch the kids tonight ... there is something VERY important I have to do?" "Sure Jill but what is it??" "You don't worry about that .... I will just be home around 7pm tonight!" It was FANTASTIC ... and the perfect end. Stephanie Meyer did an excellent job producing it. I will love this movie....

Guardian Angel working Overtime!!

Saturday morning this occurred while I was on my way with the kids to my family's home in San Fernando. My car is the Blue Madza and my kids were in the back seat!! I had just stopped at a traffic light with 4 cars ahead of me, waiting for the lights to turn green, when the Green car smashed into me from behind.  All I can say is that we were all frightened by a loud bang from behind, and just as I turned my head to look at my kids in the back, I saw my car skidding on the wet road heading towards the car infront of me. There was no stopping and unfortunately my car struck the car infront of me :( From that point on there was alot of screaming from the kid behind, me trying to calm them, and me trying to get my husband on the phone. Even today I still cannot believe it happened. Clearly the woman who struck me from behind did not see me stopping along with the other cars, clearly she was distracted doing something else than focusing on the road. ...

Do's and Don't for 2013

For the new year I have come up with a plan to try and make my life less complicated. I want to make the best decisions possible for me and my family. I also have to make sure and stand my ground and not let others take advantage of me. You see I am one of those people who try to help others and as time goes by I realize I am the one doing all the work and the other party doing nothing. This over time become a burden to me. Because in life I really believe people get what they deserve and they also have to earn respect and make the effort to help. If the other party is not doing anything, then I think I am going to get off this one way street... FAST!! As for making the right decisions, both financial and personal, it has to benefit both me and my family. I am no longer going to throw caution to the wind. I am going to set a budget to provide financial stability (i.e. not give money away to the hairdresser who did not do a good job... and buy toys from stores that are over priced!!...
