A week off of mom

 Well almost anyway. This week my kids went to camp! 6 full days. They are still gone in fact. They come home tomorrow at noon! I can't wait to see them. I was seeing and hearing mirage children at the grocery the other day... Thats how much I miss them!

 The first two days they were gone Tim and I had the day off. We went to Eureka springs. It was nice to drive by something and just STOP and go look just because, or to just TAKE OFF and go when we wanted to. We had lunch both days and it was delicious! We had a nice time together as husband and wife, instead of mom and dad.

 Of course Destiny was home, well the few nights she spends AT home she was here... OF course she tried to make up for the other kids being gone playing her teenager games she plays... We got over all that and last night spent some time together too, and it felt nice to just sit and chit chat with her. Looking at her talk, I could still see the "baby" she used to be in her now grown up face. Its crazy how fast they grow.

 So the kids get hom tomorrow and I cannot WAIT to hear about what all they got to do! I have seen pictures and it looks like all the kids had a BLAST! I cannot wait especially to hug and kiss my babies! 6 days was a LONG time without being able to even talk to them!

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...
