Blasphemous Memorial Day

Instead of thinking about soldiers & wars & sacrifice yesterday, I thought a lot about myself... sort of remembering me & what I like. I know it's self-centered... why do you think I didn't broadcast it to all the family I was around?! Also, my son's preschool marched in the parade & there was A LOT of waiting around for the line-up so my mind wondered. EXCUSE ME!

I like a quilt on my feet when they are hot. Something about the soft, cool fabric makes me smile.

I hate when a good book ends. Who knows when I will find the next one?? It could be DAYS!

I love taking pictures with my new sLr camera. But I'm afraid others won't like them b/c ultimately I would like to sell them.

I giggle inside when I hear my son laugh, like really belly-laugh.

I could veg-out in front of the tv constantly, if everyone would let me :)

I don't like being hot and sweating...so having a pool now is wonderful! I feel like I might actually enjoy summer this year.

I just realized I like "baby moons" & if you don't know what those are, don't feel left out. I didn't know either until Sunday.

When I was younger, I thought when I turned 30, I'd have my shit together.

Sometimes, I picture myself still in the Army, thinking about what I would be doing & I cringe. (worst time in my life!)

I like the veggies & dip at cook-outs more than anything else.

I sprinkle salt in my beer.

I want more tattoos but am nervous about my skin's reaction...last time I got a rash. Hope my dreams of having a sleeve won't be dashed.

I can't stand injustice, unfairness & people who betray me. Where's the trust?!

I like the drive-in movie theater better than watching movies at home.

I cannot take the feel of OFF on my skin for very long... I'd rather just go inside when the skeeters come out.

I love napping on rainy days the best... just wish I could figure out how to do that AND have the windows open...

I am starting to like BLACK coffee better than my mocha-choka-latte-yayas.

I have some color to my pastey-white skin for the 3rd time in my life... 1. Prom Senoir Year I tanned. 2. Worked at Fun Tan for awhile before I got married & earned free tanning. 3. Got a pool recently & spend all my time in it.

I like fountain pop better than any other.

And now Will wants milk so this is to be continued...

    Fountain pop is my fave! When I was young I used to try to figure out what year it would be when I was 30..40...and so on. Now I don't even want to THINK about it. Teehheee.

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...
