SalemWitchChild's Journal

Positive Thought brings Positive Action

Once in while I like to take a look at old journal entries. It gives perspective on your life and sometimes its like finding old toys. You fall in love with them all over again. lol.

My First entry. Ah. I was still working with Lance at Glo-marr as a printer. That soccer forum never did take off. I was still sewing and I never did finish that darn quilt!

I loose my job. The economy really hit Glo-Marr hard. I knew that the company could not continue running the printing dept. with little work. I was the logical choice to go. But even so it raised a lot of issues. Not only financial, but my husband is Bipolar and at that time was cycling rapidly through moods. He was unstable and I was very much is anchor. On top of that Fred has a history of flying off the handle. Anytime I gave it great thought I could imagine Fred getting in Lances face, and Lance decking the 60 yr old man in the face. Since that never happened I guess he figured out a way to live life without that anchor at work. But back then, I wasn't so sure he could.

Batter Eaters. During my time when I was laid off I stayed home unless I was out looking for a job. I put my whole heart into maintaining family and home. I loved it. Though I did get bored after awhile. But this post just shows I was very happy just baking some sweets for the family.

Free at last! Do you have credit card debt? I did. And this post tells you about how I no longer have credit card debt. That's not to say I have no debt because unfortunately I have a repo among other things still there. But Careone helped us with credit cards and unsecured loans. So there! I was 2 months away from no credit card debt. And now I have none. :)

Not so stupid afterall. I was worried about getting pregnant. 2 yrs later with no protection and still not pregnant. Guess there was nothing to worry about.

The God/dess Memo, love this and always great to refresh my memory.

The Almost Mugging. This was very scary, and reminds me why I will  never live in large cities.

SAHM's get bored. While being laid off I got very bored. So I started writing erotica. I actually wrote about 3. Chapter 2. Edited Ch. 1

My Sick Day Rant So this post was being a bit of a hypocrite. Because I've gone to work plenty of times sick. lol. But at the time I was feeling very rotten and wanted to rant.

My Yoga Phase. Yeah so while I was a SAHM I walked a lot, only drank water, and I started yoga. I lost 5 freaking pounds that whole time.

My pathetic Bike ride. Another attempt at weight loss and wasted money. The bike is sitting outside rusting.

Welcome Taz! He was suppose to be a foster. Haha I just looked at his petfinder and it says adopted. NOT. Oh well. He's mine now.

Sierra's 1st time fishing! She lost interest quickly but we kept going for about a year.

Sierra scares me to tears. I knew that Brianna girl was bad news. And she proves it here. That day will forever be etched in my mind. After this day Brianna was never allowed to play with Sierra again.

2007 Family Video. Every year I do a slide show of the years photos.

And now I think this is a good place to stop. I may do a part 2 tomorrow. :) I hope you have enjoyed strolling down memory lane as much as I have.

Blessings and Love.

What a great idea to do!! It allows you to see what you have over come!! I like the saying "why worry ? Most of the things we worry about never come to pass"!
