Fathers Day 2011

So today is Fathers day! I have to admit I am TRULY blessed to have the "daddies" in my life that I do. Anybody can be a father but it takes a REAL man to be a dad is so unbelievably true. Lucky for me I have all REAL men as dads! I cant even begin to explain how much these men mean to me. Each day up until fathers day (With the exception of one day) I posted a picture of each "dad" in my life. Im gonna share on here with my blog followers. Probably gonna use some different pictures for some! It has been a blessing to have each and every one of these men in my life. In some way or other they have made a huge impact in my life and the person I have become. You learn from your parents the kind of parent you want to be and the kind you dont want to be. I am happy to say there were very FEW things I learned how NOT to be! I love each and every one of my dads with all my heart and they each mean so much to me. I hope they have a wonderful Fathers Day as well as all the other Fathers out there. To those daddies who cant be with their babies on this Fathers Day God Bless you and know that your families love you. Big Papa we will have your Fathers Day when you come home! You can have the kids allllllll day alll to yourself!!! HAHA!! Jkin! Thanks everyone for reading!!!

Ready Or Not....

Okay so its been a while since I have written in here and let me go ahead and warn you folks who dont like what I blog about all the time, get over it... theres prolly some stuff in here you wont like then you better stop reading now!! I have been busy getting things ready and cleaned around the house for my husbands homecoming! Which by the way is right around the corner. The house is no where near what I want it to be so Im ready for it to get here as soon as it can then again I want to make sure he comes home to everything perfect. Yeah he doesnt care lol but I do!! I will be gone for the two weeks shortly before he comes home so I have a short period of time to make sure its done! LOL! OH BOY ITS GONNA BE AMAZING!! I cant wait until this deployment is just a mere memory and we can look back on it and THANK GOD its over and thank God for all the things we have learned during this thing. Which has been so amazing. I have learned how truly amazing he his as a husband and how there is no possible way I could spend the rest of my life without him but on the same hand I learned that I am strong and I CAN do this. As the year is winding down I have learned and realized who really means the most. Not the ones who SAY they are gonna be there but who are actually are. Which are not the people I expected. I guess I have high expectations for my husband. Sad part is many of them bask in the glow of having a brave man they call their own who is deployed when in actuality they have no rights claiming fame to that situation. They have not supported or done anything for him but yet feel they have bragging rights. LOL! I just think its funny. YEAH I have so and so fighting in Afghanistan Im so proud of him but let me do NOTHING for him while he is gone, no letters, no boxes, only messaging him on special occasions, PSH! But of course I dont have to say anything to HIM because he sees it. Claim him while hes gone but see if he claims you when he returns home. Yeah they probably know who they are and probably wont like my blog, and I know I have went on and on about it before buuuuuut its been on my mind. Im waiting till right before he comes home they gonna be trying to talk to him alot and make it seem like they were there the whole time!! HAHAH!! I laugh! Theres so much I can gripe about... like why do women stay with abusive men. Maybe I will have Big Papa punch me in the face one good time to see what all the hype is about... LOL!! Course he would be driving his self to the hospital if I were to shoot him in the leg for it. I just dont get it!! YOU DESERVE BETTER!! Oh people changed.... LOL! Yeah I believe people grow up but I dont believe that all people can change.. just sayin. Not to mention the innocent people who have no CHOICE and vote in your STUPID decisions that you DRAG into your mess. Oh well maybe they will learn SOMEDAY! Yeah remember MY OPINION and FYI I dont have to be a part of it and neither does Big Papa or my kiddos soooo dont be surprised if we disseapear outta your life. UGH! AGAIN MY OPINION!! SO for those who are sensitive to stuff dont get all in your feelings and take it personal this is MY blog ya know! Anyways off my ANTAGONISIC soap box. In a couple weeks I will get to see my "real" dad and my littlest brother and sister again. Im so excited!! I cant wait to see them. Oh I got a new computer!! WOOP WOOP! My mom, brother and sister got me hooked on WOW [World of Warcraft for those of you not familiar with WOW] so I HAD to get a computer that I could actually play on!! LOVE IT!!! SUPA FAST!!! I am so loving Windows 7. Its a nice upgrade from WindowsXP. Wow is a whole different ballgame! Its so much fun though we will conference call each other on Skype and chat while we play. That way in a weird way we are all spending time together. Not sure how we are gonna manage that when my honey comes home buuuut thats ok!!! We will deal. Anyways! So thats whats been going on here... Buttercup used the potty today and she got her cast off!! YAYA!! So no worries about water and sand in her cast when we go to the beach!! And no cast when her Daddy gets home!! WHICH IS SOOON!! YAYAYAY!!! Cant even express how excited I am about him coming home. Thats about all for tonight. Hope everyone has had a wonderful wonderful weekend!

Dog Days!!

So I have been having a blast with my brother this past week. I will be going home soon in a few days!!! Makes me sad but I will be back down two weeks after I get home!! I know I should just MOVE down here! =) I have began playing World of Warcraft with my mom, brother and sister. I know why they are on it all the time.. its addicting... Course Im losing sleep over it which sucks. Im not sure if I will have time for it when James comes home either... I wanna continue to play it when he comes home ya know but Im not sure how well that will go over considering I play at "bedtime"! Anyways, my brother and I spent one day goofing off with the dogs and I got some pics of them playing. Boon and Sassy have been getting along ok. Sassy doesnt wanna play all the time when Boon does and when she does want to play Boon isnt sure how to take it! LoL. They are cute when they do finally get to play. Boon will try and run really fast and hes such a big dog its not very fast at all. Not to mention my brothers apartment isnt ideal for a large dog track! I hope everyone has had a great week. Got word from Big Papa things are getting finished up and loose ties are getting taken care of and they will be making the journey home within the next month or so. Which is soooo awesome! I miss him like CRAZY! I have been lucky and have been able to talk to him on a regular basis.YAYAY!! Not too much longer and he will be home where he belongs!!! Well Im off and getting some things done.. enjoy the pics!!! =)

...Content...

Well I am back in florida folks and Im loving it. Which explains my blogging absence yesterday. Its a 7 and a half hour drive and when I got here I spent some time with my broski! My sister stayed back to spend time with family and she kidnapped Babygirl, so its just me, Bubba and Buttercup aaaand my brother. Oh yeah and the dogs too! Its been almost a month since I have been here.. My home away from home. My brother has to work but its nice to be here with him when he comes home and before he goes to work in the morning. I miss him alot when hes not around.. Talked to Big Papa on my way down. Got an overload of information from him but its so nice that he feels comfortable to talk to me about things most men wouldnt tell their wives. Lets just say I am VERY thankful that him and his fellow soldiers are alright. They have had so many close calls and I am so relieved it is ALMOST over. Again still dont know when exactly he will be home and probably wont until a few days before but thats ooookay because I know we are getting to the end of this ordeal. I cannot wait to put it behind us and its all just a memory and a lesson in life. The kids are REALLY enjoying my brother too. Bubba stayed up until my brother got home just to see him. =) So sweet. Its so funny because I can remember a little when my brother was my sons age. Down here I am content and relaxed. Im not sure why. Being AWAY from home I guess.. There are so many things I wanna get away from but so many more things I dont wanna let go of. I have a few great family members and a few great friends back home that I love with all my heart. I HOPE we can move down here but Im worried about being away from my peoples. That is my quickie Friday update, I should have pics within the next couple of posts.. I have barely done anything but relax since I have gotten here! Hope everyone has had a great week! Just another day/week for me to mark off my calendar and that makes me HAPPY! One day down is one day closer to being in my loves arms! God Bless.
