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.

Ahh a fresh new week.

It is Monday. Daylight savings gave me this extra hour of sleep and a bright sunny morning to wake up to. The weekend is behind me now along with that UNGODLY busy week. My best friend is home from her camping trip, I have learned how to use, and LOVE my new phone... All feels right with the world!  Over the weekend Destiny was gone. It was kind of quiet around here, but Promise made sure to make up for the crankiness and teenager (esq) that might be lacking in the household. Thank you Promise. Your just too kind.  Rooster boy came and stayed the night. Not sure why but my son always has these strange thoughts he thinks are good ideas when rooster boy stays... Not saying its rooster boy, my son even admitted it was his own idea, I just think when boys get together, they lose all ability to ration out what is a good and what is a bad idea.  So what was the bright idea this weekend? To "splatter paint" A bowling pin . I guess I should be happy, that at least ...

Time Flies

A year ago today my best friend gave birth to her second little boy. TWO years ago tomorrow my first granddaughter was born. Both seem like yesterday, but also so long ago. Two years in a row almost on the same day I got to watch the miracle of life happen... I have done it myself four times, but it never ceases to amaze me. To watch it is just amazing that our body does that. GROWS someone in side of us and then gets that someone OUT. Just amazing. Life is stressing me out right now however, I am trying to take this weekend to just tune out anything and everything that is getting to me, just have fun, go to birthday parties, eat cake and not worrry. Not worry about bills or calories or my steps (I even took my fit bit off) Just be me, just enjoy what there is in life to enjoy. My amazing friends, and my crazy family and the hot summer weather.

Tea Party Time

 Today was the school mother daughter tea party. I took miss Hannah Bear. She had a good time. A few of her friends were there. They got to get their nails painted, some make up on... There was a stack of dresses to try on and then model on a "runway" oh and of course some tea and snacks! (my favorite part of course)  The kids school had a scare today. It was locked down and police were called after a man was seen just wondering around the playground at recess time. Again it makes me SO glad they go to a small school where teachers know parents and know when someone who does not belong, is there. No one was hurt, and the man just walked off when a teacher asked him his reasons for being there... Scary anyway.  This week has been slower than the last, for that I am thankful. I am still busy don't get me wrong, but I am able to keep my head above water with just a minimal tread. Not having to do the backstroke all week is nice!  It is nearly "my time" S...
