You don’t have to download an app or sign up anywere, just click the link and get his mixed tape. My son will be the rapping dr. He’s in cna courses now but he has high ambition for medical school. I know rap isn’t my thing but I would appreciate you listening just to hear his voice. The more people that listen, even if u delete after it will still help his numbers. Thank you. Give small town kids a chance!!!

I’m still here

Posted on by queentracey1

I have had so many different things some good and some not so good going on and instead of sharing with you all I was keeping it inside. That’s not such a good idea. My update to

Back, Forward and Back Again

I have been able to get rid of probably half the stuff cramped into my hallway. That was the first major area that has to be done so I can use the space to clutter up with other things. Lol. No, my crafting supplies are going there. As most of you know, supplies are always everywere! !! I had wanted it all done before my 18 year old came home for the holidays. Nope. But, it’s progress.

Then of course dealing with xmas and not letting my kids down was a huge stressed to me until they both told me to stop. I am blessed twice with these two boys. At 14 and 18 they get it. They don’t want me robbing Peter to pay Paul . They are such good kids. I sometimes wonder how I got so lucky.

Narcolepsy well, kind of…..

Posted on by queentracey1

My life consist of having to time everything I do, every minute of every day. 

I do not get what they call REM sleep. This is the deep sleep that your body needs to, repair, dream, sort through mental issues, and most importantly this is the sleep you need to feel like you slept, to feel rested. From the sleep study they found it takes me twice as long to get there and I don’t stay long enough to really accomplish anything. 

So, because of that little issue, I can not

Drive for more than 30min

Read

Work on a computer, for more than 30min

Take a class

Listen to a lecture

Anything that is more mental than physical, for more than 30 min. Once I do that, I start to fall asleep. Once I get tired it is really hard to not feel sluggish for the rest of the day. It severely limits my life and the things I can and can not do. I love to read, now I can only do it before bed and never for very long. I can not go to the movies, if the show does not keep me interested enough, I fall asleep. I can not drive very far or travel. I can not tell you how many times I have gone off the road. 

So, is this narcolepsy? Idk. It is going to make jury duty on Thursday and Friday awful interesting!!!!!

Repetition-a key 

Posted on by queentracey1

I think I figured out the reason for my failure in my organization and time management, well at least some of it. I realized today I need to turn off the tv and instead of sitting on the couch trying to figure out how and when to just get up and do it. I still bounced around from one thing to another but I didn’t have as much distraction as I usually do. I moved all day and feel like I got a lot accomplished. Now that I try to think thou, I can’t actually figure out what I actually did. 

I know repetition is key to forming better habits. I have most of the times now morning and evening down to a routine. It’s trying to get my son into a better routine that’s giving me a hard time, but, I am optimistic. 

Now that the snows here my cats are inside all the time so more fur and changing of the litter box is added to the house chores but, it’s normal. 

I have alarms set on my phone for everyday to remind me to exercise, to turn off the tv and I leave it off till my son gets home from school so it’s about from 8-9 till 2-230.

I have so many things I need to do that I separated my day to do things at certain times a day, like, I have tons of email everyday from samples to surveys to stores just sending ads and things, but, when I sit still like that for long it makes me tired, so now I do that at night after supper but before bed.

One answer was from a woman who said she wanted to be worldly….

I started thinking and have not stopped. Adventuress ,  worldly, a leader, ……

I do not even know who I am nevermind who I want to be…

Lost, confused ,  totally unorganized 

That’s what my whole life revolves around, being unorganized ,  my thoughts, my projects, my house…..

​ “Imagine how powerful and how visible our world would change if everyone kept just one more promise each day, week, month, or year.” – Manish

Although I may not know who he is, he has a point.

My Challenge, should you choose to except it, 

Do one thing extra, everyday till Xmas to help someone, keep a promise or just do that thing you said you would do and haven’t done it yet????

I do it, Because I Said I Would……

Now of course I have no way to keep track or check to see who’s actually doing it but, I figure I will post what I did that day, and you can comment with yours!!!! 

So, Is anyone up for the challenge????
