Blessings and randomness

Things that blessed me this week/and other random thoughts

Spending three hours on the back porch talking to someone who cares a lot more then I ever realized.

Time sitting in my living room yesterday talking and letting kids run and plan, for having 6 kids in the house it was oddly relaxing.

My friend who will be here at the drop of a hat anytime I call her.. and man do I call her a lot! :) (She usually has my daughter more than I do!!) :)

All the "kinks" working out, and in fabulous amazing ways that I never could have planned.

Losing 4lbs.

My amazing kids, who always find a reason to make me smile.

Beach days

Watching Garrett play t-ball!

Having A/C in my house, I like to set it on "arctic"

Lucy hugs. (I feel like a rock-star every time I see her)

free Padre tickets

My WHOLE family is coming out this weekend! Starting tomorrow my parents get here, then everyone else on Saturday!

Finally selling the iguana cage for cash. However I did appreciate the trade offers, and as much as I want a I HEART THE NAVY tattoo on my butt, I had to decline.

I am beginning to become annoyed with bakugans

My dog got a random bald spot on his nose.. is doggie pattern baldness common in 2 year old Keeshonds?

I finally wore my contacts for 6 whole hours, without taking them out.. still don't like them a whole lot.

Rearranging my house makes me smile.

I need to run more.. my gut has got to go!

Going to check out a few rentals in San Carlos.. always makes me hopeful!

Daniel called. :) Made my whole week!

Because we are military wives

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
