The World Has Gone Mad - Explained by Sjeltur

I hadn’t seen this write up until now - and I’m so thankful to Sjeltur for taking the time to explain generations and what we are going through in each period of time in History (rather, what we have gone through).  This was a very good post and I’d recommend reading it if you are interested in the history and times we’ve gone through since 1880 - Present.  An excerpt from the post (http://sjeltur.nl/the-world-is-going-mad-sign-of-the-times):

A comment by Monica inspired me to write a little about her observation that the world is going mad. It looks like this is true, but it’s actually nothing new. Although never the same, history seems to go through cycles and the current cycle is definitely one with heightened madness. Historians and demographers recognize four basic types of different generations, born in four different eras. Here a table of the different generations and eras, and a short description…

Please go to the site to see his descriptions and following information.  I enjoy reading the blog “Sjeltur:  The World According to Sjeltur” it’s very informative!

Thank you Sjeltur for your Post as response to my comment.  ;)  You are appreciated and I learned something new!

EDIT - I added the link to the actual post.  Duh!  Thanks Annie!

Feeling Better - Update on Monica

Well let us see how last night went shall we?

I was trying to get this blog in some kinda order after changing hosts. I have a temporary Wordpress Theme up, but I like how it’s situated. Just not the colors or lack thereof. But, when I went to have fun and change stuff around the most HUGEST (is that a word?) headache hit like a ton of bricks. Oh my goodness. Then, it was so bad I felt sick. So, off the computer I went and straight to bed.

Then, the hubby comes home - bless his heart. Dotting all over me and taking care of me like the wonderful hubby he is. We watched Ghost Whisperer Season Two Disc Two - one or two episodes and I was done. I had a pounding headache and felt like crud.

Then, we got into an argument. A new one? No… more of the same thing. It didn’t end well so this morning I got on the phone and told him I was sorry. Lordy. Lordy. Being married means so many things, but one thing it means is ya can’t get away from them. LOL So you better make up.

Making up is fun actually. He’s been so wonderful lately, I guess feeling sick mixed with other stuff just set me off. No bigge - we *kissed* and made up so to speak.

It’s been rough here. He’s working so hard and my client base has dwindled due to so many things. So I’m barely making it financially. Which means, he’s doing all the work. I’m at home taking care of the house, making sure my kids get all their school stuff done, and working on the clients I have left - ’cause I love them and am very grateful to have them.

My kids are both in Independent Study now. It’s like homeschooling really. I have their schedule every day of what they need to do, I meet with their teacher once a week to get more work for them and turn in their assignments (rather, they do that - I take notes). BUT their report cards came in! WOW! It’s the biggest improvement I’ve ever seen from them. They are so proud! So is this momma.

So my husband is working away while I’m doing all of these things that are important - but, what happened to me holding my own financially? I was the sole supporter for over 10 years now I’m home? It’s a huge adjustment.

I’m starting school on the 20th of this month. I’m almost embarassed to say what for ’cause I’ve been laughed at a few times. But I’ll say it here - and let me be very clear this is what I had wanted since I was young, but babies etc. well… you know what happens to plans when you have the little ones. Okay, my major is Physics. Yes, laugh all ya want. Who knows I could change my mind. I’m already an Accountant, this would be a complete career change that will take YEARS to get to. But there are some really neat opportunities just in the first year of being an undergraduate! No laughing… okay, you can laugh. We’ll see how far this goes, but at least I can go for it!

In February I’ll be 41 years old/young. I’m so extremely excited about my 40s! It’s me time after my Stephen is graduated in June of 2010. That’s not that far away. Jimmy goes into the USMC on June 14th, and my daughter is already out and on her own. I do have my Step Son Daniel that will be 14 (OMG!) on the 11th of this month, but his momma does all the hard work with him. I just get to love him to death when we get him. So I’m almost done… wow.

Many things are going on now in my life - I just want to be sure I enjoy ever moment of it you know?

Wow, life is Grand!

I’m Sick

Oh my goodness I don’t feel good…. nope.  Not at all. 

I thought maybe I’d whine here.

Here I am…

… whining.

And Now Sleeping

Our Holiday Season 2008-2009

I have to say, this holiday season was interesting.  Most of our family said clearly “please no gifts”.  With the economy I don’t blame them at all!  So less shopping to do was sure a nice thing I will have to be honest!

For Christmas we went to my Aunty Pat’s in Palo Cedro, CA.  She has acreage there and it’s so serene - and cold this time of year.  No snow, so not that cold!

The troupe that went was my three kids (Jessica, James and Stephen) and me and my hubby.  Along with was my cousin Jay and his two girls Christina and Morgan.  I love this family!  All of the kids are about the same age, so we had a ton of teens!  Always fun!

Aunty Pat did her regular “Money Tree”.  It’s a Xmas tree with wrapped up money on it.  She wraps $5s, $10s, and $20s like little presents and then places it on the tree.  Then, the kids get to roll dice to see who gets a chance to pick from the tree.  Each kid made it out of there with about $100 each.  WOW!

We did do a bit of laser tag!  My laser tag gaming name courtesy of the laser gun?  You wanna know?  “Sloth”!  What the heck kinda name is THAT for a laser tag player?!  Funny thing is, I won.  LOL  Sloth kicked butt!

Here’s some pics of our Shasta Dam excursion.  We wanted to see how low the water was.  Unfortunately, it was low. 

I always feel so peaceful with my Aunt.  The area is beautiful, the family is perfect… and the views from this location are wonderful.

We did quite a bit more, but since my house is in extreme disorder (I’ll post on that one another time) I’ve been taking time to get my life back in order.

I hope you enjoy the pics of our mugs.  Love and Light, Mon
