Sitting out

By -
As much as it pains me, I do believe that I will be sitting out the breast cancer 3-day this year. It seriously hurts my heart that I can't participate this year, but it looks like I will be taking the year off.

Despite my best efforts, I have raised a whopping 65$. Unfortunately each walker HAS TO raise 2,200$ in order to walk. Beings that I am no where near that and only a few weeks away from the walk, it's not looking good.

As much as it saddens me to miss it, I will be their as much as I can cheering on my friends Laurie and Dawna. My new (someday I will meet you in person) friends, "Walkers for Knockers", and ALL the amazing women and men who will be out there walking 60 miles, so that maybe one day we can rid the world of this horrible disease.

Boooo! I'm so sorry for you! But yeah, that's a lot of money to have to raise. I don't think I could do it!

Especially with how the economy is right now, it is hard to do. Plus you don't want to feel like all you do is hit your friends and family up for money. :)

That is a lot of money but congratulations on the effort. Your heart was in the right place but looks like God had other plans for you like visiting your AMAZING friend in the hospital next week ; ^) !

Because we are military wives

By -
We spend 4 hours with our husbands in a uniform shop, followed by two hours looking for the right size of boot, because any time together right before a deployment is still time together. We try not to take the little things for granted for they become the biggest things when we don't have them any more. We stand in tears on piers, and are comforted and comfort women we've never met, because we all are feeling the same way. We cringe a little when people say "your so strong" because inside we are dying. We put on a strong face for our kids, so we can dry their tears, and calm their fears, and hide away that we have the same ones. We sleep alone most of the time, we worry, we cry, and we get up the next day and face life head on. We try to smile and brush it off, when people who don't know any better tell us how lucky we are because of all the "benefits."Medical, housing et al.. Not having to pay for a physical really doesn't make up for all the mi...

parental poll

A friend made a comment today that got me thinking. (dangerous I know) So, I was wondering, (if ya'll wouldn't mind chiming in) at what age your kids either did or will do the following activities... ok so survey says..... How old was/ or will you child be when you let them.... play outside with no parental supervision- sleep over at a friend's house - wear make-up - have a bed time later than 7:30 - go on a date - there are no right or wrong answers here, just curious.  Everyone is different and what works for one may not work for another, so no answers will be judged.. I am just wondering where I fall in the averages :)

It never seems to fail. I go shopping.. doesn't matter where.. just out shopping. Having myself a grand ol' time, whether it be shopping for groceries or things a lot more fun than that, shopping. Shopping is great, until.... I leave the confines of the store/mall etc, and head to the parking lot only to have NO clue WHAT-SO-EVER where my fricken frackin car is!! NONE! No idea at all, good thing I have a green mini-van, cause THOSE aren't common! So then I embark on the mission of trying to find my car. I try the nonchalant approach at first, strolling with purpose down an isle as if I know exactly where I am going. This process is generally complicated by a car following me to get "my spot", so then I have to feign forgetfulness, "OOPS, (looking around frantically) must have left something in the store." It's back to the store to "retrieve" non-existent lost item, and try the car finding ruse once more. This time I try the more distract...
