Invisible Jenny
Hi there!
I know I promised a week of new entries...but did I say a week in a ROW??? Hmmm??? Perhaps I should have promised 7 new entries sometime soon - that would be more accurate.
Just wanted to do a quickie today to let you know I am thinking of all of you EVERY day. So sad that because it is summer I don't really get the time to phone that I do when school is in session. Since we moved I am the full time primary entertainer for my kids. We don't have any other children in the neighborhood. No friends yet. Just mommy. And eachother. And daddy when he is home and nanny and pop-pop. Could be worse! My only point is that I rarely get time to call - doesn't mean I don't love and miss ya!
I have noticed that I am invisible here. Nobody knows me (except for the obvious ones) nobody recognizes me, nobody will remember. I can wear whatever I please and not give a flying fig newton about it! In a way it's very liberating. It does have its consequences though. Find myself not caring as much as I should. Eating waaaaayyy too many desserts. Not really trying you know? Figure that my kids have to be the first priority and I will deal with me later. Hmmm... I would yell at any of my friends that said that - so I know I shouldn't - just keepin it real.
So, I am invisible Jenny for now. I am sure that will rapidly change when school starts. And we now have a soccer coach that knows me and calls a lot, and a realtor who knows me too, so I am slowly having to, well, make an effort sometimes.
If you have seen Princess Diaries you know that Mia spends her time trying to be invisible. I know what she means. Not quite willing to be visible yet myself. Maybe I will meet someone (obviously not a love interest, all set there - I mean a friend) who will drag me into the land of the visible soon... ya never know. It only has been two weeks after all {*groan*}.
My my my - heavy post!
Yipe and egad.
Don't worry - my next post will feature the fun we had at an attraction that I plan to drag every one of you who comes to visit me to! Let's just say I didn't know THAT much (*something secret to be revealed next post*) could be stuck all over me!
Stay tuned!
Love ya! :)

Hi Invisible Jenny! You are only invisible to those not blessed enough yet to know you. You wait, once people find out about you,*poof* into the land of the visible you will fly! I'm sure this is a tough (and tiring) summer for you so far. Just remember we all love you and miss you. We send wonderful thoughts and prayers your way all the time. This is my weekend without the guys, wanna come scrap? :>) I think I will work (or play ) at organizing my craft room. I think I would get more projects done if I could easily get to all of my stuff. Bob and Zach are driving a U-Haul with Jer's furniture up to VT today. :>( I'm glad I have to work, too many tears for me. I may try to call you this weekend. Lookin' forward to your next post (stuck all over you huh?)
Love ya,
Deb
I know, I know!! *jumps up and down* It is Fruit Loops!!! Or maybe Rice Krispies???? Frosted Flakes????
Oh, I don't know how you do it. I am having a huge conflict with my eldest daughter as she thinks my job in life is to provide her fun and entertainment. She insists that she will be much pleasanter if she is having fun but I want to do things too. You know???
Well, I think I have sent you enough e-mail lectures about the importance of taking time for yourself, so I shouldn't have to do it here. But it is really important, you know. To be the best mom that you can be (both emotionally and physcially) -- you also have to have some down time and time away and time to do things that you like. Really, even if that can't happen, just some time to clear your head:) 'k??
Ok, I would guess the Cereal Place, but, I think that is closed now. Think of it this way, you have FREE BABYSITTING use it for all its worth!. I constantly feel guilty asking family members to watch mine- especially for work!
Now about that invisible thing, hmmmmmmmmmm you can't hide forever. I am reading a book called "Slow Fat Triathlete"- you know where I am going with this- you let mean Jane Fonda Kimmy come out-you need to enjoy life in the body you have... On that note think of me Sept 2nd- I will be doing a 1/2 marathon in Virginia Beach..Bloom where you are planted girl!! Miss ya!

Hey Jen! The only comment I have to make to you on being "invisible" is that you aren't! All of the new people that you are chancing to meet now will have a picture of you as you are right now in their minds for as long as they know you! If you remember nothing else, remember that! I can still remember one of the first times that I met you...what was that puppets name...Scrappy?
Can't wait to hear about the local attractions out there, if they are interesting enough...I'll have to talk Chris into taking a road trip when you get settled. Shouldn't be too hard to talk her into it, finding the time though...hhmmmm...We might have to work on that, as she is moving before the end of the year too...maybe go half way to her new digs in PA and then onto yours...something to think about anyway.
Hey Jenny! Great to see another post. I just posted a quickie on my blog! Will blog more later, so be sure to check back.
Thinking about taking you up on that Scrapbooking weekend some time in the future. Would be great to see you. And to have a childless weekend. I'm just on Ty-overload right now.
Talk with you later!

Hey Jen
I got your card, thanks for sending it. Sorry I've been a bit invisible myself this summer. Between work and the kids and the house and camping, sometimes it's hard to keep up. I do have much to tell, and I'll call you in a few days. I'd love to crop with you again, but this time let's have it just be us. Maybe I'll actually sleep at night next time, too ;). I know I'm not at my best under extreme sleep deprivation. Anyway, take care. Talk to you soon. Love ya~
Kim
