Veteran's Day

 Today as many are. I am thankful for our Veteran's, past present and future. I can not even begin to imagine what they go through day to day. Away from home, away from family and friends, hearing guns and seeing horrible things... I don't want to be there, and I know for a fact I could not make the sacrifices needed to do it. So I am thankful, so very thankful for those that have, and do, and will. Thank you!

 So of course, I had to do a little something special for my very own vet. My hubby. I love him. I am thankful for him. So very thankful. Even though he drives me ABSOLUTELY nuts a lot of the time, and even though 50% of the time I wonder if I have a husband, or a 5th child... I Love him and I could not do what I do without him in my life.



 I love that on Sundays, he reads me the funny part of the comics, and the cool police reports.
I love that he clips coupons and talks about how "WERE" Going to save money at the grocery store.
 I love that he tells me I am sexy, when I feel far from it, and that when I tell him to shut up, he doesn't :)

 I am thankful that he does laundry and feeds the animals, and cleans up cat barf.
 I am thankful that he comes home after work and spends time with us.
 I am thankful that he just lets my being a bitch roll off his back.
 I am thankful for him taking the time to help at the kids school
 I am thankful that he is such a hard worker.

  Mostly I am just thankful that he is in my life. He has given me two of the most beautiful children and taken on 2 beautiful children that were not his, even when he did not have to. I am thankful that he loves me, and that he is a loyal husband and father.

 So today to show my thanks. I bought him a case of beer. We have not had the money to get beer in a while.. so this was a treat. We also went out to eat for dinner. Got a compliment on how well behaved our kids were even.

 Speaking of kids, Destiny got a GOOD grade on her math quiz today! She even texted me from lunch at school to tell me. She seemed PROUD of that grade. I am thankful, so very thankful, for that as well.

 Heck I am just thankful for today. Today was a good day.

Ahh a fresh new week.

It is Monday. Daylight savings gave me this extra hour of sleep and a bright sunny morning to wake up to. The weekend is behind me now along with that UNGODLY busy week. My best friend is home from her camping trip, I have learned how to use, and LOVE my new phone... All feels right with the world!  Over the weekend Destiny was gone. It was kind of quiet around here, but Promise made sure to make up for the crankiness and teenager (esq) that might be lacking in the household. Thank you Promise. Your just too kind.  Rooster boy came and stayed the night. Not sure why but my son always has these strange thoughts he thinks are good ideas when rooster boy stays... Not saying its rooster boy, my son even admitted it was his own idea, I just think when boys get together, they lose all ability to ration out what is a good and what is a bad idea.  So what was the bright idea this weekend? To "splatter paint" A bowling pin . I guess I should be happy, that at least ...

Tea Party Time

 Today was the school mother daughter tea party. I took miss Hannah Bear. She had a good time. A few of her friends were there. They got to get their nails painted, some make up on... There was a stack of dresses to try on and then model on a "runway" oh and of course some tea and snacks! (my favorite part of course)  The kids school had a scare today. It was locked down and police were called after a man was seen just wondering around the playground at recess time. Again it makes me SO glad they go to a small school where teachers know parents and know when someone who does not belong, is there. No one was hurt, and the man just walked off when a teacher asked him his reasons for being there... Scary anyway.  This week has been slower than the last, for that I am thankful. I am still busy don't get me wrong, but I am able to keep my head above water with just a minimal tread. Not having to do the backstroke all week is nice!  It is nearly "my time" S...

Time Flies

A year ago today my best friend gave birth to her second little boy. TWO years ago tomorrow my first granddaughter was born. Both seem like yesterday, but also so long ago. Two years in a row almost on the same day I got to watch the miracle of life happen... I have done it myself four times, but it never ceases to amaze me. To watch it is just amazing that our body does that. GROWS someone in side of us and then gets that someone OUT. Just amazing. Life is stressing me out right now however, I am trying to take this weekend to just tune out anything and everything that is getting to me, just have fun, go to birthday parties, eat cake and not worrry. Not worry about bills or calories or my steps (I even took my fit bit off) Just be me, just enjoy what there is in life to enjoy. My amazing friends, and my crazy family and the hot summer weather.
