Happy Mucking Funday!!!

Good Evening! It’s Sunday night and here I sit facing the same all too familiar dilemma as most Sunday nights.; the unavoidable approach of Mucking Funday!!! Just about every Sunday night I stay up late because I don’t want to accept the fact the weekend has ended. I can be dog tired and my mind won’t let me rest.

The grand-baby is tucked in bed and the vampires have taken a temporary furlough. This is what I call our grown kids who won’t leave! I liken them to vampires as they are up all night and sleep all day. They try to suck the life out of me every chance they get!!! They leave home but they keep coming back! I don’t get it? My generation couldn’t wait to spread our wings and fly away… I would love to write a post; “50 ways to get your grown children to move out permanently!” However, I have had no success in this department ,and I have already tried more than 50 ways, and No Sir-ee Bob , they are not going to budge…

So here I am relaxing at my computer soaking up the silence…The house is quiet; just the sound of crickets outside my open window and the cats prancing around doing their nocturnal dance. I finally have a a little time to myself to ponder my next post…..

The Vampires got me thinking about the time of year and all the ghoulies coming out , so perhaps I will do a Halloween post next. I only have a couple issues with this. First, I can already foresee it turning into several posts as I have several ideas for a Halloween post(s). Secondly, I spook so easily! No kidding!!! I can’t even watch scary movies by myself anymore… I don’t like the dark evil stuff in my head. It scares the crap out of me!!!

My mother was Pennsylvania Deutsch and she educated me on the Boogie Man and Bad Juju! I’ve always considered myself to be a cross between Stephen King’s Carey, Karen Silkwood, and Ferris Bueller. LOL! So perhaps I will write 3 posts; one for each personality… a scary folklore post, a scary reality post, and a fun Halloween post…. Any thoughts on that?

Okay. I guess I have finally grown tired, and am going to have to sleep on it… I strongly dislike Mondays no matter how I try to psyche myself out… Goodnite… and have a Happy Mucking Funday!

Happy Grandparents Day

I’m back… It’s been awhile since my last post, but I made a promise to myself to become diligent in posting to my blog. Being a newbie, there is all kinds of tech stuff and terms to learn so it has eaten up a bunch of my time. Vintage Agenda is a work in progress and because I’m such a perfectionist it has been a rather slow work in progress…

Other than that, I have lots of other viable excuses to myself, including just plain busy. Time management is a big goal of mine, and I have been working really hard on getting organized. I like to believe failure is not an option, but with me I’ve been known to grow bored quite easily, and abandon a project when I’m not feeling any progress.

Just want to mention a great website called Evernote that I discovered in my efforts to organize my crazy busy life while raising my grand-daughter. It’s a cool online tool that has a multitude of capabilities, and a must have for anyone who is environmentally conscious, interested in going green, virtually paperless, or if you are just plain forgetful. I absolutely love Evernote. It has quite possibly saved me from spontaneous combustion . HE HE!!! And even better it is FREE!!!

I will probably do some separate posts on this subject, and my progress with getting organized, but for now just want to give a shout out and a high-five to all the grandparents out there for just being you… Its our special day to take stock of our life, and realize how important grandparents are to the whole family dynamics, and the role we play in our family’s wellbeing and happiness.

Have a Happy Grandparents Day!

The responsibility of raising my Grandchild is very challenging at times,and requires calling on an extra reserve of energy that could only possibly be from up above. It is a labor of love but very rewarding, especially when my Grandbaby gives all that love back every single day. She is my immortality and inspiration!!!

This is my very first blog and I would like to begin and dedicate my blogging journey to my Granddaughter and all the Grandparents that are dedicating their lives to caring for and protecting their Grandchildren. As Billy Joel would say, “Don’t Forget Your Second Wind.”
