I have the most wonderful friends and family!

 I just wanted to say that. No matter what I am a very lucky person. I have a wonderful husband, beautiful healthy children. My mom is the most wonderful and generous mom anyone could ask for, My in laws are always there for us, no matter how needy we have been. My friend Pam is the bestest friend, always there to listen and take my side, or tell me I am wrong if I am (which I am usually not) Its awesome to know that I am surrounded by this awesome set of people. How did I get so lucky?

 Christmas weekend was wonderful. We had three days in reality, and still have to see my mom tomorrow! Friday I made dinner at home, a turkey and several sides. The kids opened the gifts they got each other, and went to bed early waiting for Santa!

 They were up at 3am and sent back to bed. 9 was when they got up to open gifts. Everyone got something on the list that they wanted, which was awesome! Santa did good! Christmas afternoon we had Linner at Pams house with her family and some friends. It was a really nice time. Just sitting, celebrating and chatting and the kids all playing. It was awesome.

 Today, the day after Christmas we went to Tim's dads. It was awesome of course, more presents (I got the lens I have wanted for a while!) and another fantastic dinner of course! All was just so right with the world this weekend. I am so blessed to be able to share the holidays with such wonderful people!

 Tomorrow is back to work time. I am so looking forward to it (please note the sarcasm) I have, once again, pissed off my coworkers. So I am looking forward to this Monday, more so than I have any previous Monday of my life. I love working with someone who's pissed off. It makes for a very interesting day. Hopefully everyone can just be mature about it and get over themselves. If not, oh well! Such is life. I am done trying to be super nice and walk on eggshells to keep people happy. I am who I am, and I am not going to be who someone else thinks I should be just to keep them happy. Not.Going.To.Do.It.

 One of my new years things is going to be, to stand up for myself. I am important, and MY happiness should be at the top of my list, not someone elses. I cannot believe that its almost New Years. 2011. Wow. This year FLEW by, no joke.

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...

The pitter patter of little (annoying) feet!

 I remember when my kids were little and innocent and said super cute things. It still happens sometimes, but not nearly as often. They no longer pitter patter, they clomp. Things change, kids grow.  Luckily I still have my little neighbor girl Adriana. She comes over to play with the big kids quite often and is almost always a hoot. From taking her to the "lime berry" to just silly things she says. Tonight was one of those nights.  I have not slept much and wanted a nice relaxing bath... As I am headed in there, Adriana asks me what I am doing... I tell her I am about to take a bath. "can I take one with you?" Uh.... I have  a vision of myself as Micheal Jackson...No baby, you cannot take a bath with me.... So I am in the tub, and after a while Tim came in to bring me towels... So he was in there visiting with me, and Adriana knocked and asked if she could come in... Tim told her no. "Why? Because Clorie is NAKED??? What are YOU doing in there TIM!?" ...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...
