My Un-Valentines Day!

Okay so my day didnt start out very great.. actually it sucked! Hey I woke up breathing and the sun was shining I AM glad of that.. not to mention my 3 BEAUTIFUL happy smiling children. My hubbs and I have been having some.... not so great getting along time.. Which I guess is to be expected we are both pretty tense and frustrated with being apart and the daily dealings with our lives... but theres always one thing to set it off. Well it got set off yesterday and has kinda spilled into today. We will eventually get it worked out but it definitely made for February 14th to be a REALLY UN-Valentines day. Anyways. Played with the kiddos and vented to my girlfriends most of the day. One of my besties came over and brought me a balloon, candy a bear and some wine.. MMmmm She knows what this mama likes! Shes such an amazing friend. We go way back. Not to mention on top of having a crappy day and feeling all alone she reminded me of what amazing people I have in my life and that no matter how stupid Im being, or silly I am for being upset over something that may seem little to others they know its big to me and they are there for me.

 Had a few minutes of quiet time while the kids took a nap.. got my oldest off the bus and got ready for dinner with another bestie of mine.. we met at the tanning place so I can cover my broken heart with some dead skin cells LoL and went on to dinner. We had mexican and a nice biiiiiiig strawberry daquari!! MMMMmm NUMMY! Kids opened their Christmas presents from her (yeah I know were slow) and went by to see my mom and dad.. I got a mommy hug which I needed pretty bad... It was the icing on top of the hugs I got from my besties today!

Now Im sitting here while the kids are in bed venting about how bad my Valentines day sucks this year... Yeah Yeah Im being a pessimist and maybe a bit antagonistic :-) but hell I think thats ok. Cant expect me to be on cloud 9 while my husband is GONE AWAY being a putz on the day of "love" Yea were gonna fight through this and hopefully make it on the other side stronger. It sucks we get to an amazing place in our relationship and SOMETHING happens and knocks us waaaay to the bottom and we feel like we gotta start back together. But I love that man.. no matter what stupid crap he does.. he loves me no matter what stupid crap I do.. just seems like my list of stupid crap is alot smaller than his.. but thats just me... We will be fine.. He will come home and all will be well with my world again and I will have my happily ever after... Im on edge, hes been gone too long to still feel positive and able to put the feelings away and its still to far away from homecoming to be excited.. so im stuck in this feeling like crap hate mushy love crap till he comes home. Alot of things need to change between now and then and alot of things will continue to change when he returns home... and just like before we will conquer and be at our amazing place again! Just gonna take time and patience and unfortunately because of this DAMN DEPLOYMENT its wearing VERY thin. Thats where my friends step in and tell me to chillax. Ive realized alot of things about myself during this deployment. Im a very strong person and I will be OK, we ALL will be ok.. I love my husband with my entire being and he loves me as much just ready to have that meanie home so I can hold him and snuggle him and kiss him and BEAT HIM UP then make-up! So I hope everyone else has had a wonderful Valentines Day! *MUAH* Till next time.... Chin up Its ALMOST OVA!!!!  

What you Should DO!

I love the song playing.. good advice! Best way to make it through life.. Love Like CRAZY!! So I been thinking about my future and the first thing that pops up is I wanna be like that old couple married for 58 years! Yep me and BigPapa sittin there on a rocking chair front porch in a swing holdin hands!! I love it! Our kids all grown and grandbabies running round! OH YEAH!! Music to my ears! I am gonna spend the rest of my life with that man.. Ya know.. I take for granted what a wonderful man he is sometimes. He has the best intentions for our little family in everything he does or does not do. Even when he messes up I still love him. Just like he loves me when I screw up! But that is love my friends. And I am in love! Tomorrow is Valentines Day. Yeah not gonna be the most awesome day but it will be a good day! I DO have a Valentine even though he is so far away and I have a DATE! Who does not mind my kiddos hanging around! Ha Ha! One of my fellow Army Wives and bestie along with me and the kiddos will be having a nice mexican dinner for Valentines! I did have a great weekend. Friday night just chilled me and the babies, Saturday I went and seen my second mama. She had a stroke not too long ago but shes doing great. The docs expected FAR worse than what she is doing! She is doing AMAZING. I went tanning (Which I have been doing often thanks to my mom and my father in law)! Hopefully I can keep it up! Saturday evening I went to Monkey Joes with a bestie for her lil mans birthday! GOSH! I cant believe he is 2! Our girls are gonna be 6 this year! OH LORDY!! Went back to her house and ate and did cake and just hung out. I have known her and her family like 10 years! They are my family! I love them all so much! Went home and the kids were sooo wore out, put them to bed and had a skype date with my baby!! Hes amazing... Have I said that.. yeah probably like 100 times! This morning started out a little rough but two more of my besties came by and we let the kids play and had spagetti for lunch and did the girl talk thing for hours!!! I sooooo needed it.. This evening sucked too but its ok.. This day is almost over and tomorrow is another day. Sigh!! Soon! We are down to the double digits till he comes home for R&R and not too much longer than that I will have my Happily Ever After .... again! HAHA! Oh and P.S. GREAT NEWS!!!! The scale moved!!! In a good direction a nice distance!! How wonderful! Hope Everyone had a great weekend and has a very lovely Valentines day! It will be my UN-Valentines Day! I love couples in love so by all means... have at it!! ~XoXo

Oh to be a woman!!

So due to the high number of requests of people to be allowed to read my blog I have decided to keep it public. Makes it alot easier for me. Those who do not like what I read can either voice their opinions or keep them to themselves, again this is MY blog about MY feelings! So ANYWAYS. Its a been a minute since I have written a blog about whats been up in my life. Im still dieting and still going to the gym. No change physically that I can see but Im beginning to feel better. There is one added element now that I am hoping will further my working out and things like that. Maybe start seeing some physical results soon! That would definitely help my psychie. My kids are doing wonderful!!! Doing amazing in school and they are growing like weeds. I cant wait till their daddy can see them. Hell I just cant wait until he gets home. My babies are growing super fast. Mikey sigh my little monkey is a spitting image of his daddy! Handsome little devil.. Im hoping for a visit VERY soon! I miss those guys VERY much!! I need a brother and sister hugs from them! Little Clay is so cute! Those two boys are very lucky to have me as an aunt... oh yeah and for their parents. He! He! I am attempting getting a girls night together for me and some of my besties.. Its definitely in the works. I miss my girls!! This weekend is a mini girls night. Two of my most amazingest friends coming over spagetti and kids playing and possibly some wine! GAWSH! I love them ladies vury much! I was going through photos and I found some from James basic graduation. The FIRST best day of my life since James military career started. I couldnt be more proud of my soldier! Roughly 2 more months till R&R. Still dont know exact dates (thank you military) and we are 7 months into this deployment. Things havent gotten easier just more tolerable. I still miss James alot. Im kind of running through the motions of my daily life. Having my kids make things easier but harder at the same time. They keep me busy, make me smile and make me laugh. If it werent for them to keep me going daily I have no idea what mental state I would be in LoL! Sometimes I FEEL all alone. I KNOW I have a family and friends who will be here for me when I ask. Sometimes I just want to BE alone when I feel that way. Alot of times I feel like no one understands what Im feeling. I know there are soo many men and women who do. I hurt that much is true but I love that man so much more than I am hurting and that is what will make this whole deployment worthwhile when its just a memory for all of us to look back on. Till that day, keep up with the gym and dieting and my daily routine and keep drivin on. We dont have much longer and we are ALMOST done! Then it will be behind us and we can move forward. Gonna end with a quote I ran across today with some photos from James basic graduation! Wish you all well!

“Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience.”

My Blog!

Definitions of blog on the Web:

• read, write, or edit a shared on-line journal
• web log: a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies; "postings on a blog are usually in chronological order"

There are so many blogs on the world wide web and there are so many different ones. Ones to advertize, ones for support groups, how to blogs, personal blogs, and so on. Well this one is MY PERSONAL blog. I put down feelings I have had that day or recently and type them out and post them so people can relate or disagree with me. I dont post them to take stabs at people. I post alot of blogs to celebrate things I am happy for. I post things that upset me or hurt me or bother me. If you take offense to anything I say you shouldn't. I have no personal vendettas against anyone and if I did I wouldnt post them on my blog. If I do say something about someone in particular well there ya go its STATED that I have an issue with that particular person. I may not like the situation around me and that person or something that they have done but again this blog is MY outlet. I unfortunatly dont sugar coat anything while Im venting. Some have taken some of the things I have said personally so this is being done to avoid drama and unneccesary hurt.Thanks I do appreciate the non biased people who just read to read whats going on in my life or my head at the moment and move on and dont take anything I say personally. I also apprecate the people who do give feedback and state their opinions if they disagree with me as they are hashed out and a common ground and more of an understanding is found. Thank you to all my readers who do read my blog. Its really appreciated. Many of you have laughed with me, cried with me, fussed with me, disagreed with me so I hate to cut everyone out. After 24 hours my blog will again be private. If you would like access to read after it has become private please contact me. Thank you.

Hooters!!

Note the shirt!! Typical BOY! :-P

Okay so I was reading an article about Hooters restaraunt not being family friendly and what not. I have to say I have loved every Hooters restaurant that I have been in, except for the one in Mall of America. I had an awful waitress. Anyways to the point at hand. Is it family friendly? I guess its based on personal preference. Me, I dont mind my husband going with his guy friends and actually I love to tag along. They have great food and its fun atmosphere. There have been times where my husband and I have gone out on a date and he asked me where I wanted to eat and when I said Hooters boy his face LIT up! I love that. I have to also admit that I have taken all of my kids to Hooters. The waitresses have been soooo sweet to me and my kids.. especially my kids. A funny story, once I took my son to Hooters when he was like 5 months old and he was still nursing and when the Hooters girl picked him up the first place his hand went was RIGHT down her shirt. TOO CUTE! She giggled of course and handed me my son back but it was too cute. He was the center of attention. He ususally is when we go. There was another occasion where we went to Hooters and my son paid NO mind to the cute little waitress we had. He was busy flirting with the older women at the table behind us. So do I have any quams about taking my kids and my husband to Hooters. Absolutly not. Would I be offended if someone said they didnt want to go, no. It is really personal preference. I however have always enjoyed their food and their service! Never a dull moment. I have a few more pics of my lil man and Hooters girls but this is the only one readily available!! :-D
