Big Black Horse & a Cherry Tree



Yesterday was Brian's first day *not* working & I'm not so sure I like it. I can't just slack off and sleep all day like I used (or so he thought) :) I actually have to do stuff because he's around with his judgemental eyes on me LOL No, really, yesterday was one of the busiest days I've had in a while and I fill my lungs with air and say...

I got up at 7 am and took a shower, made Em's lunch, quickly drank a cup of coffee, woke Will up with his miwk at 7:30, watched the Today show Olympic update for about 10 minutes, made Will's breakfast, got him dressed, fixed his hair b/c it was crrrrraazzzyyy!, brushed his teeth, and did the same for myself, got ourselves ready to walk out the door, drove Will to preschool, drove Em to middle school, went to my sister's for pancakes, came home and did dishes, cleaned the bathroom, checked my email, facebooked for only about 5 minutes :( drove back to get Will, came home and fixed lunch (fastest I've ever eaten a bowl of chili ever!) drove to the church for a 2 hour meeting where I became the assistant leader of the Photography Team YEAH!, came home and cleaned up around the house that got destroyed in those 2 hours, finished folding laundry, tripped over the cat, framed Will's cherry tree that he painted on his first day of preschool, left to go get Em from school and made some phone calls on the way, when we returned home I yelled at the kids for awhile and barked orders at them :)then I helped Brian for the next 4 hours update his resume and apply online to 3 or 4 jobs at the railroad while I heated up and made dinner, got Will his miwk and read him a SpongeBob book, wrote some emails concerning my 2 hour meeting at church, chatted on facebook with someone who is more knowledgeable than me concerning cameras, took a shower and collapsed in bed at 12:30 am.

And this morning, when Brian and I were *both* taking *both* kids to school he sarcastically said we should do everything and go everywhere together everyday, honey. A few seconds passed and from the backseat we heard Will say "B-O-R-I-N-G!" lol

And now I am here at the diningroom table *again* job hunting with my hubby and filing out online apps. Fun fun.

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...
