You bet your butt!

 Oh so once again my bloginess has been lacking. I have had times, when I think how that was so funny and I need to blog it, and then the evening comes, the kids are in bed, and all I want to do is crash myself. What can I say, I am just not a good steady blogger. I am trying.

 So this week, its been a good week. We went to a park for a picnic on the windiest day in history. Played soccer and football and had a pretty good time, all of us, together, getting along. Amazing, I know right? Tim got a call from his old boss, asking him to come back to work there. Its more hours and a little bit more money, its also night shifts....

 So I suppose I will be back to feeling like a single mom during his work days. This time though, the kids are older and I think it should be easier. Its not like if I need to run to the store, I have to lug all four with me every single time. It also makes this summer SO much easier on us! Yes Destiny and Promise are both old enough to baby sit, but lets face it. Its summer, they want to have lives, and its their siblings so they are not always nice. My house is also destroyed daily... So Tim working evening shift, not going in, until I get home... Is really a blessing I do believe.

 We got a few things for the garden, a new fence to go around the little plot in the back yard. Tim wanted to buy the 5 foot fence,  I am more than certain that the 3 foot one, which was cheaper, will keep out our stubby basset hounds. So certain in fact, that I placed a bet with Tim. Now and then when he is certain he is right, and I am certain he is wrong, I will make a bet with him, a favor that he likes to have done, that I do not so much enjoy. I only bet it when I am sure, but twice I have bet, and been wrong... This though, I am sure of. They will not jump the fence. I can just see Tim in the back yard, T-bone steak, LURING the dogs over. LOL.

 I went grocery shopping this week, without a list. A sin nearly in my book. I mostly got meats, I figured if we have meats to last the month, I can afford anything else without issues mostly. So I bought a bunch of meat and other things at Sams Club. I love that place!

 Destiny is going to PROM next weekend. I can't believe it. She was invited by a Jr. She does not really like him, but he asked her and she wanted to go so she said yes.... I am actually happy inside that she does not feel head over heels for the boy... I mean its PROM and all.

 Anyhow we got her dress, at a boutique store, but its a new dress, store tags still on it... We got it for 15.00! It was half price! Pretty awesome. All in all for a dress, shoes, nails, bra and hair clip I am out maybe 50 dollars, and she can wear this all twice, because she has a formal dinner for choir later this month. The dress is adorable, and she looks fantastic in it (Of course)

 So that has been life. Same ol' same ol really. Got too many kids over for the night. Can't keep the house clean, too much to do, too little time. All my seeds I had started, I left outside when it got REALLY cold... and they died. So now I need to start new ones. I am excited to get a garden going again... MMMM Fresh tomatoes!

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...

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...

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...
