New Year...new stuff

So for starters, we're expecting another boy this April. Another boy! Can you believe it?! I still can't. A part of me is secretly hoping the ultrasound was wrong.
Every year I've put off making a new years resolution. I mean seriously whats the point? If you really want to change something in your life then just do it. Why wait until the first day of the new year to decide to? Well this year, I want to make some changes. No, not promising to workout more or anything like that, though i do wish I had more drive to do it. But real changes. Changes that will affect every aspect of my life...my family, my job, ME.

Decisions

We're all faced with them-->what to eat, what car should I buy, What doctor should I see, where will I work.....the list obviously goes on and on and on. Our futures are based on decisions. Whether we make the right ones or not is, well, never easy to tell right away. We're always told to think before we speak, and to really think about things before we jump into anything new. Decisions are a part of everyday life, which affect our everyday life.
But how do you make decisions regarding your future when there's so much at stake that you could possibly lose?
I'm stuck in this "thing" and its driving me absolutely crazy. I have no idea what I'm gonna do. I think I have it figured out one day, and then the next, its a whole different story. I feel like the unending see-saw that just won't stop teetering.

Life changes

So my husband has always said he wanted to go to school, heck its paid for why shouldn't he? Anyways he's actually gonna do it this time. I don't know when, but he has finally decided what he wants to do with his life...well at least a part of it. He wants to study computers, so he's gonna finish getting his associates with the CCAF and then work on getting his bachelor's in computer information systems-->to get him into OTS. For those that aren't hip with the military lingo, OTS is the school you go to, to become an officer. Yup, i said it, OFFICER. He says that he'll be able to definitely secure our future.
I've always tried to be supportive of whatever he wants to do. This time is really different. Everyone needs to be supportive of him, EVERYONE. Especially me. No more picking at him for not wanting to do the dishes, or other small things like that. We all really need to be a family and help him in anyway we can.

Been away for awhile....

but now I'm back. Lets see...quick update...my hubby is no longer AD, just doing reserves, and working as a security guard for a pharmaceutical plant on the side. My older 2 boys have just started school this past tuesday. "J" started a new school (middle school). "C" is at the same school as last year. The "baby" turned 1 in July and has definitely got a great personality. As for me...no more retail! I've been teaching at Gymboree Play and Music since May, and loving every minute of it. The latest I ever get off of work is 3pm. As for getting into a home business, well, I am an affiliate for a couple of companies but have 2 main ones that I love: Retro Bungalow and Lavender Love. I'll get more into detail about them in another post.
Life has been a roller coaster since I was on here last, but it's been one that has helped me and my family grow. I will definitely be on here more now that I have more time to just sit. Until monday, mekealoha pumehana, mahalo nui loa!

"HOME" work

no not homework like from school. I mean HOME work...working from home. My husband tells me yesterday that he wants me to quit my job and stay home. To that I ask, "for what?" This 2 word question ended up as one of the most heated arguments we've ever had. I've never been the housewife type so it pissed me off that he was trying to make me become that. Look I'm sorry I don't think its necessary for me to vacuum, mop the kitchen, do laundry and scrub bathtubs and toilets everyday. I mean who does he think I am? Cinderella? Well anyways...back to my original point...I have ventured into the home business world and have even signed up with 4 different companies, wait 5. So my husband says I should just concentrate on those 5 businesses and forget about working outside of the home. The thing is, how am I supposed to "WORK" at home while doing all the things he wants me to do since I won't be working outside the home anymore? How am I supposed to concentrate on my businesses when he's already got a "chore" list waiting for me? I love the job I have, but he's right. It doesn't make the income that would actually be beneficial for us to send juju (my 4 month old) to daycare every other day. He calls my paychecks gas money. I should be happy that I don't have to work, but the thing is I really do enjoy it. And to that he added, well just work at home. How do I tell him that in order for me to work at home my "chore" list has to be drastically cut down?

To let go, or not to let go...

THAT is definitely the question. Older son "J" came home with his progress report today. NOT GOOD. Not even close. First things first, this morning I got a call from his teacher asking if I've seen and signed his take home folder for the past 3 weeks. When I said no, she informed me that he has signed my name for the past 3 weeks attempting to pass it off as my signature. She also informed me that he has not been doing his assignments...6 to be exact. When he got home, I almost blew up! I mean fifth grade and three F's and two D's? Come on. So here's the real problem. He and his brother "C" are supposed to be going to Colorado this friday to spend thanksgiving with their dad. My husband doesn't think I should let him go. And I pretty much feel the same way, but I had already mentioned to him that he still could go. Can I re-nig something like that? I don't know what to do. What am I supposed to say?

Welcome intro...

Hi y'all and welcome to my world. I'm a wife to one of the most accepting, honest, and Damn GREAT looking men on the planet and mom to 3 boys ages 10, 8, and 4 months. Being the only girl in my house is definitely a change of scenery for me considering I came from a family of all girls. Yeah its great to have all these men love me, but then again sometimes its just too much testosterone. Too much "ugh, me man, you girl...go cook or knit or something."
I work outside the home and am venturing into the home-business , business. So hope you enjoy and come back frequently to find out whats going on in my world.
