No wait...THIS is sad :(


I am sitting here after a 3 HOUR! nap reading the blogs I follow and ALL 3 of my closest peeps' blogs were about their kid. 2 of which were about 17-18 month old kids who were in the stages of jibberish blabbering...and I got to thinking...I TOTALLY MISS THAT STAGE! I wasn't blogging at that time in Will's life so I can't really remember the sound of his jibberish without bustin' out the video tapes. These 2 blogs were letters directly to their children...maybe I don't do that b/c Will and I CAN actually have a conversation and by the time I sit down to blog I am exhausted from numerous talks with him. But I'm gonna give it a whirl!


Dear Will,

Right now MawMaw just got up from a 3 hour nap and you were so quiet and just played on the computer the entire time. I only heard you make a few sounds which included things blowing up and guns shooting but it was all virtual and no one really got hurt. I clapped loudly when I woke up so you would come in and check out what that noise was and BOO! I sat up and screamed and you screamed too and then you took my phone and ran back to the computer laughing all the way. I made you a peanut butter and jelly and you didn't want that. You said you were ready for dessert. Where do these lines come from anyway?? iCarly? Fanboy & ChumChum? Spongebob? Probably. Anywho, you ate it on your tray in front of Dora and then proceeded to throw your tray around the living room and then hide behind it like some Army soldier and then popped up periodically to shoot me. Now you are playing your new Cars game on Playstation. I am amazed at how you can turn on all the right buttons and channels and hook up everything and it works. I get confused if I am at someone's house and they have more than 2 remotes.

At this stage in your life you are obsessed with cellphones and hotwheels and you WANT everything. I have even stopped taking you grocery shopping with me to avoid the meltdowns and potential beatings that may occur from asking for everything. But, honestly, I don't think you even notice that it's been WEEKS since you've been to "Wool-mart." Also, you have started saying "I'm bored" at random times and everytime you say it, it totally throws me off guard. What 4 y.o. Says That!! Oh and you are NOT liking your room at all. You want an orange one. It doesn't surprise me b/c your favorite color is orange but...I really hate painting, but will do it for you Stinky. You cry everynight and want me to sleep with you but you refuse to nap with me when it means daylights-a-burnin'. Although I know this is a terrible habit to get into, I can't help eating it up b/c I seriously have to force you to hug me or give me smooches; but, something magical happens when the sun goes down...I don't turn from this princess to an ogre or anything but you, all the sudden, get all schmoopy on me and I LOVE IT!

Well, right now, you informed me that you are "bored" which I know is a lie but I do feel sorta guilty being on the computer any longer...actually, I need to get off here b/c you have stolen my "lenses" and I'm getting a headache. But I love you and all your selfishness, violence and independence. I just hope you remember as you grow older that you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you or steal their glasses. Love, MawMaw

It Comes From Within

So I went to the dentist AGAIN today and read a magazine in the waiting room. There was an article about a couple who had grown apart over the years and didn't know how it happened. The woman was repeatedly telling her husband that she felt unimportant . She explained how she never did anything for herself and hadn't done some things that she enjoyed doing since before her and her husband were married. She asked her kids what mommy did the most and they said, "the laundry." (not exactly a legacy!) Then the woman went on to explain how she blamed her husband for her unhappiness. The expert gave a detailed response, but the one thing she said that really stood out to me was how the woman was unhappy because the woman was unhappy ... it really didn't have anything to do with him. She no longer did the things she had liked to do. What did she expect?! When her and her husband were dating she was spontaneous and exciting and the two of them explored things together. No...

This Can't Be Happening!

Will is already old enough to play tee ball!! OH MY WORD!! I remember "walkin' the mile" while in labor, secretly wishing that it was over and done with and my child was already walking and talking and no late nights and loss of sleep would be suffered. I regret that now b/c it happened. He's walking: check. He's talking: check. He's gonna be 5 in less than 2 months: check. Just signed him up for tee ball: double check. This just can't be happening. The time went too fast. I'm not ready to give him up for school either. That's like 6 whole hours in the day that he will be somewhere else, like not with me, like: uncheck! I don't likey. I supposed I could homeschool him??....but let's not fool anyone here...I love my son but I don't want to be the sole person responsible for his smarts and knowledge and stuff like that. I only have an associates degree in general studies...C'MON PEOPLE! I am also realizing that with Will being gone 6 ...

Thankful to NOT be in the Army! (part 1)

I haven't blogged in 4EVER b/c someone has been sick in this house for the last 10 days and right now, it's me. Joy. Anywho, Emily wants me to write 100 things about her but I can't think that hard this morning...although I will do 1. She farts ALL THE TIME! and 2. She really is SUPER DUPER funny! I'll do the rest later. So it's the most wonderful time of the year and I've already done 80% of my shopping throughout the year so, I'm totally ahead of the game and liking it. People are scrambling around trying to find what they're looking for or trying to decide WHAT they're looking for while I am smuggly enjoying browzin! I am always left with the kids stocking stuffers. I try to keep those gifts as random as possible (more fun that way; for me, not necessarily for them). And this time of year always reminds me of my experience in the Army... I remember the BEST christmas-time I ever had...I was in the Army and was desperately trying to get out. I knew...
