I was a Gemini and now am a Taurus

According to gradual changes in the Earth's alignment the dates of many zodiac signs have changed, according to a NBC news report.
In addition, there may be a 13th zodiac sign: Ophiuchus (November 29 to December 17) for those born after 2009.

I don't think so!
Not that their is anything wrong with a Taurus, who is known to be compassionate, dependable, loyal/reliable, stubborn, sensitive and aggressive.

That's just not me.

I am cheerful/friendly, good at communication, inquisitive, flexible, selfish (sometimes), restless, a confused personality and find it hard to be punctual (that hit the nail on the head)

Born May 21 - June 20
A Gemini is:
Dual-natured, elusive, complex temperament and contradictory are terms that best describe a Gemini. A Gemini is capable of the virtue of versatility and the vices of two faced-ness and flightiness at the same time. Never boring, she loves communicating and gossiping. Her talk is not rubbish, rather interesting and informative. Ruled by the Mercury planet, Gemini's often get easily bored, impatient and frustrated by things that move slowly. Basically, they are intelligent, imaginative, lively and adaptable to any situation and person.

Gemini people are very active. They easily get mentally distracted and hover between alternatives. Though they feel less confident and have less faith in themselves, they are unaware about the capability of using their flexible mind in a surprising numerous ways to their benefit. With a highly flexible body, Gemini people love agile sports like gymnastics, bicycling, swimming and others. Due to their love for talking, they spend less time on eating and hence, generally stay fairly slim and fit. Belonging to a dual sign, Gemini people are chameleons, as they blend well with their environment and at the same time, stand out apart in a gathering with witty remarks and seemingly limitless knowledge.

Gemini people are very attractive when they are good, but when they are bad, they are worse than what one can expect (that means don't mess with me - you'll be sorry). They love to play the game of life (life is a game, right?!) filled with fresh moves and continuous entertainment. Changing decisions in the mid of a race distinguishes a Gemini from the rest, as sticking to a particular decision is difficult for them. Affectionate, courteous, kind, generous and thoughtful towards the poor and suffering: a Gemini exposes these traits only when they do not interfere with their personal lives. They are smart enough to use their outward attractiveness to achieve their goals, be it unscrupulous lying, cunning evasiveness or escaping blame by contriving to put it on others.

When happy, a Gemini is honest and straightforward but when things go against him, he can sulk like a kid. Furthermore, a Gemini demands attention, admiration, energy and money, and dedication of time on him during childhood.

Gemini makes a charming companion and you are lucky enough if you have a Gemini friend, they are the best person to give advice. She judges a person by the way they treat her rather than looking into their personal qualities and traits (I've become friends with some really interesting people because of this and been stab in the back too - Live and Learn).

It's not all good being a Gemini but that's who I am!

I want to add an update to this post.
Many news reports have come out stating
"The new astrological calendar is irrelevant to western astrology which uses the Tropical zodiac, which is not constellation based, as opposed to eastern astrology which uses the Sidereal Zodiac, which is constellation based .. The changes implicit in the Precession of the Equinoxes, which is what the new calendar is based upon, has been underway for thousands of years, which we as astrologers have always known about."
If you want to know more, search the web for information on the Tropical Zodiac/Western Astrology.

Was that fast?

January flew by!
For those of you that don't know me personally, I am a homebody.
Honestly I'd be happy with the thought of never leaving my home.
I try to schedule all errands for one day of the week.
Besides taking the kids to and from school each day and to their after school activities, only 1 day is for grocery shopping and misc. other errands.
But January 2009 seemed to have multiple appointments each day.

I am sitting here tonight, February 1st, trying to unwind from a hectic and stressful month.
February isn't looking much better!

While I cleaned the house and reflected on the month
here's what the kids did today...



Yes, that's Isabella riding a bike with NO training wheels!
She has been doing that since the end of the summer.
But she just now feels comfortable enough to turn around on her own at the end of the driveway.
She's such a Big Girl!

Vacation Over or OVER Vacation

I woke up this morning bright and early to get the kids ready for school.
The 1st day back after having 2 whole weeks off.

I couldn't wait to get back to my empty, quiet house to dive into work; adding more new items to my website, planning my schedule for a new year of bling tees and start organizing my office that has become nearly impossible to walk through without stepping on some thing.

We got out of the house on time, which is rare. I went to Bella’s school first to drop her off.
I walked in and started to sign her in but the sign in sheet looked different.
The teacher noticed my confusion and said “Oh, it's just daycare today not preschool”

What??

At the same time another teacher walked in and made the same mind boggling statement.
I know she has children that go to public school and the preschool schedule is the same as public school, as far as days off.
I said isn't there "regular" school today, she said “Nope, the kids don't go back until WEDNESDAY”

What!!!

2 1/2 weeks off from school! Are these school officials CRAZY?
I know I am going crazy after this loooong vacation.

We piled back in the car, as the kids cheered we headed back home.

I love spending time with the kids and we have had a fun filled vacation of activates, sleepovers and crafting but when you set your mind to them heading back to school and they don't actually go…Well I’m sure you know how I feel

~Patricia

Liftoff!

At approximately 7:55pm we headed outside with binoculars and cameras in hand to catch a glimpse of Space Shuttle Endeavour rocketing through the night sky



We are 150 miles from Cape Canaveral. Although the pictures don't do it justice, it is spectacular to see the night sky light up and hear little Isabella declare she wants to ride in a rocket ship!

Feathering the Nest

We moved into our new home a year and a half ago. I don't take well to change
No Really I just changed the address on my drivers licence last week and that was out of necessity.
Okay, truth be told I am the Queen of Procrastination!

But that is ALL behind me...
I have declared 2008 as My year of "Change"
I have altered my anti-schedule ways. I am making lists and actually crossing things off.

We are eating dinner by 5:30, the kids are going to bed on time (close enough), the house is cleaner and more organized than it was.
Now I am up to Feathering the Nest. This house is in much need of warmth and style.
Here are a couple new items I've added this week

hmm, What's that behind my New BlackBird Tin???
Just a little sneak peak at new items in the works for
One Boy One Girl

Meet Blu-Kitty...he was hopping to Feather his Nest too, LOL
Luckily for the Birds they outsmarted him. They were eating at another feeder ;)

Hello Blogging World

Since registering for this Blog a month ago I have eagerly logged on each day

Checking out the different features, typing the url in to see my actual Blog in all it's glory.

But there was no glory, there was Nothing!

I had heard rumors of a Blog Fairy that would come along at night and write a witty post and include fabulous pictures. I guess the Fairy was too busy posting on all the Blogs I read because it never found me.

In light of this oversight I will have to take over and write a not so witty post so you can get to know me.

So here it is...
Hello Blogging World

My name is Patricia or Tricia since I am known by both and the name issue seems to confuse some people??

I am a 32 yr old SAH/WAH Mom, wife, lover, friend, chauffeur, maid, cook, gardener, decorator, craftier, designer, artist, vegetarian...the list could go on on

A little more...
I live where the sun is always warm and you are never far from a river or a beach.
As the name of my Blog states I am the mother to One Boy and One Girl.

Trenton is 9 and Miss Bella is 3 (going on 18).

Oh did I forget to mention David the only person that truly knows me and supports me in every crazy idea I have. He is my best friend and an outstanding father to Trenton and Bella.

Ok, I'd better end this here before he thinks he's Perfect ;)

I'm excited about this Blogging journey and hope you'll stop back by to get to know a little more about me
