Happy New Year!!!

 Wow 2012 already. Its amazing how time flies. Seriously flies. When I was young... Omg listen to me... Next I'll need a cane to walk around with... When I was a young lady....<> Time passed by so much more slowly.

 I have customers come in with children, who are school age, who had come in with babies in utero! My best friends daughter is getting MARRIED this summer. MARRIED! I met her when she was about 6, how is it possible she get married? It honestly makes me realize that I am, actually old!

 Aside from all that it is a brand new year. With bright new starts! I hung a pair of size 9 jeans on the wall. I hope to fit in to them sometime this year. This year I vow to:

 Buy a new calender
 drink water
 lose weight
 try to bitch less
 Be more positive
 blog more often
 do 365 pictures
 try 50 new recipes and blog them on my other blog

 So my New Year has started out pretty well. The kids go to school Monday (2 of them) and Tuesday (the other 2) I got extra hours that I asked for at work while Tim is laid off. I have a pretty funny boss, and awesome co-workers. A healthy family and wonderful friends. Enough wood to heat my house for a long time, and nice warm covers to sleep under. Oh and a kindle. Who could ask for more? :)

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...
