Cancer's Horoscope for 2011

Just when you thought that life couldn't possibly throw any more twists or turns along life's once tedious path, along comes the unpredictable but exhilarating energy of 2011 (operative word being 'exhilarating'). Partnerships continue to confront you with your deepest needs and fears but your career shows incredible promise and renewal. You receive the lucky touch of Jupiter from January to June. Expect major expansion and recognition on all fronts.

Promotions, opportunities to expand your social world and work-related travel are all potential gifts when the wheel of fortune spins in your favor for the first half of the year. The second half of 2011 brings a spectacular slew of new friends, alliances and networking opportunities when Jupiter moves into your house of dreams, goals and community. Venus showers you with extra doses of love and cash for the month of July, just in time for your birthday. And Mars brings the action, energy and work in August and early September.

Get ready to jet set this spring and/or summer when the planet of glamour enters your long-distance travel sector this April. Your homebody instincts give way to the lure of travel and adventure in 2011. Fall and winter bring the return of dreamy Neptune to your sector of transformation for one last jaunt between August and 2012.

I have always loved reading my horoscope and reading into what it means for me.

My 2011 interpretation

Partnership: K.C. and I were kinda thrown on our heads last year more than once. It was the longest year of our lives together. It's amazing how life has a way of working itself out and putting you on the right track again. Even though you fight it all the way, when you finally sit back and except the changes, you realize everything is going to be okay. The best thing that happened to us last year was the loss of a job. I expect all these changes to still be scary, but we're in it together.

Career: My job as mommy will be rewarding, as it always is. I take great pride in being mommy. But also I hope this means my goal list. I expect that also to be rewarding and I hope for self renewal. The recognition would be from all you wonderful people that support me through my journey. And I thank you already for the kind words of support and encouragement. You don't know how hard it was to hit the "share with Facebook" button for the first time.

I believe that I will build new friendships and renew old friendships from sharing in my journey and look forward to my "slew of new friends". And when Jupiter moves into my "house of dreams", I'm hoping that means, I will be moving into my dream house. I know, a stretch right, but that's how I choose to read that part :) I could always use more love and cash, but I guess I'll have to wait until July for that. And I love Autumn. I always feel energized that time of year. I'll need that energy for my last push to finish out the year successfully.

Good news! Mike And Tracy, looks like you'll have some visitors in Spring or Summer. Katie, you should start looking at what it'll cost for our families to travel by RV, nothing sounds more adventurous to me and hilarious at the same time. It's true, I am a homebody and adventure is exactly what I'm looking for this year. I'm looking forward for transformation by the end of the year and welcome it.

So the year sounds like it's going to be a great one!

Here's to the Beginning of a Wonderful Year

So . . . welcome to my blog. I see you've found me :) I will enjoy making my entries and pretend that someone might care. I believe I'll have followers like my mom and mother-in-law, maybe some sisters. I figure, most of the stuff I put on Facebook is about the kids. And not everyone on Facebook cares what my adorable children are doing on a daily basis. So I've decided to put them here, with all the adventures of 2011. I plan on making this a productive, adventurous year . . . and I will catalog it all here. It may look boring at this point, no fun pictures. I am still figuring that all out. There will be plenty of pictures in the future, I promise.


So, this is the last day of the kids two-week break from school. It's been a long crazy one this year. We celebrated Christmas about four times, welcomed a new nephew into the world (who I've yet to see with my own eyes  :(  ), visited my sister-in-law's new house (totally jealous), said good-bye to my brother and sister-in-law that decided to put down roots in Virginia for a while (who we hope to visit soon) and brought in the New Year with three of our five children.


Now I'm home with the kids, looking at all the new piles of gifts that I have to figure out where to store, stash and use. Our house is for sale, so it can't stay like this for long. I've already taken down the Christmas tree and all the Santa's, reindeers and elves. I love them while they are up, but also relieved when they are all put away. I left the random snowflake and snowman, after all, snow will still be around for months. Except an unexpected thunderstorm that rolled through, and melted all our snow.


So today I've decided it's a major clean up day. The girls are working on their room, which needs a major overhaul. The usual three loads of daily laundry are waiting. I've already been in the garage in an attempt to make room for my van . . . almost. I also have to give the twins a bath which is always "fun". My eBay project has made our family room look like a shipping warehouse, but I figure I'm okay with that for now, because hopefully soon, it will all be gone and I'll have more money in my pockets. I figure if I get it all done, or I should say, most of it done today . . . I can start out fresh and new tomorrow, even though the laundry will be there again, it's always there. Not to mention, I have to be done by 3:15, because of the Packer/Bear Game which is a must see! Hopefully they'll do better then the Badgers :(


So, if you are interest, follow me. I might say something interesting from time to time. Or you can just laugh at my crazy life with five children. At least I know that the Grandmas will enjoy, once I have pictures of their grandchildren :)


Got to go, lots to do :)
