31 of 360- meal time=family time

Nothing to cook in the house. Was hoping, since promise has proven she can chew...we could to out for tims birthday meal....of cours one kid kept going on and on about it....then got attitude ( not one of the teens either BTW) so I said forget it....remembering several dining experiences with my kids on tude days.

I'll go get something.

I guess normally this means fast food....since everyone started belting out an order or 2 or making establishment suggestions.

Well I went to Walmart. Got stuff to uh, cook, at home. Broccoli cheese soup, grilled ham sandwiches, and pickles. #1 comes out when she sees I'm home....expecting still a bag of.already made fast.food....taco bell was on her wish list....

"oh. Your cooking....GROSS" said in the nicest way possible I am sure. Makes you feel really appreciated. Guess what family.will NOT have take out food this month?

For the 35 dollars I would have spent on ONE.FAST.FOOD.MEAL.  to feed my family. I got: soup mix, enough left over over today for.my lunch. Ham also some left. Provolone cheese, still lots.left. loaf of bread-half loaf still remains. Big jar.of.pickles. angel.food cake to bake with strawberries and whipped cream. Oh and 4 cute Orange cups.

Sometimes I just can't win.oh and I broke my crock pot insert. Hip-hiss.

    Oh no... I;d have sat on the floor next to the crock insert and cried, I think. I love that stupid thing more than most of the other appliances. Hope your day is better tomorrow. Some days just stink. :(

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...
