Big hat day

My day so far…..unfortunately I couldn’t sleep last night and woke up at 2:30 am.  I tried and tried and tried to fall back to sleep, but simply couldn’t.  I finally gave up and went online until I was tired.  It is so hard to go online when my contacts are out because I simply can’t see.  I know a lot of people say that when they don’t have their contacts or glasses on, but I truly 100% mean it.  It isn’t as simple for me as it is for some because without the lenses even bringing things closer to my face does not make them clearer.  

I finally fell asleep around 3:30 am and three hours later I heard Brennan up.  Thankfully he took the dogs and let them out so I could sleep in.  I ended up sleeping in until 8:45 am.  I never sleep that long!!!!  Wowzers.  Just as I was getting up Brad called me which was nice.  I was able to sit and talk with him and he made my day feel a little brighter.  

Then my dress for this weekend showed up. Thank goodness because I was worrying.  The date for delivery kept being pushes back.  I ordered two dresses….not sure which size I was.  I ordered an XXL and an XL.  The XXL came right away, and it felt a little big.  I decided I was going to wait until the other dress came to determine which I would keep and which I would exchange for the correct size.  Thankfully the dress that came today is really pretty and fits nicely (that means the other dress needs to be exchanged for a smaller size).  It is weird because who would have thought I would be an XL and not an XXL.  I guess maybe I am not as big as I think I am.  That is a very good thing.  

I then got ready for my day and decided to put my swimsuit right on versus getting dressed and changing.  I put a cover up on over my swimming suit, and sat outside waiting for the time to tick by.  Soon we will be going to my daughter’s house to go swimming.  

As I was sitting here I realized just how bright the sun is…..way brighter than I thought it was.  Holy cow is it bright…….I think today is going to be a big hat day.  I don’t think I am going to simply be able to wear the sunglasses today, and might have to double up on sunglasses and a hat.  

I am so glad I am getting out of the house today because I am starting to feel cooped up and like I don’t really ever do anything.  I am so glad that kids aren’t fighting me on going as well.  

Swimming was fun with the exception of a kid who kept squirting everyone.  I kept moving away from him, but he kept squirting us.  Even when we were out of the pool the kid was squirting us.  I have to admit I was amazed that the parents never once said anything to their kid, and never once tried to stop him.  

Oh and on an even more positive note…..hubby comes home tonight.  I am so glad because I really have been missing him.  He is off tomorrow night so he doesn’t work again until Saturday.  He decided Saturday and Sunday he is going to drive in to work and drive home so he can spend a little more time with me and the kids.  Then he is off Monday again.  Woohoo…..spending time with him is going to feel so wonderful.  I am missing him so much!

Today is her 31st birthday

  Today my third child turns 31 yrs old.  Where has the time gone?  How could I be this old?  How could she be this old?  As I sit here contemplating my life, and how quickly it goes by I am thinking about my own mortality.  Reality is we are only on this earth for a blink of an eye, and that is how it feels right now.   I can remember when the kids were little, especially the child with the birthday today.  She was my wild child.  She was the one that always had a mind of her own.  She was the strong willed child who would never back down.  I can remember countless times I was embarrassed by her wild behavior, and so stressed out that people would think I was a bad mom because of her horrendous behavior.  This is the child who never sat still.  This is the child who would never listen.  This is the child that would run off laughing.  This is the child that no threat or promise of a treat or anything else would work on if she had her mind set.   All these years later I wish I would hav

After being gone for six weeks…..

Image
 I left my home in June to attend a wedding, and then from there headed off to my daughter’s house to awake the birth of my grand baby.  I was gone a total of six weeks, and was super stressed out over what would happen to my garden.  This year (my first year doing this) I decided to plant a large (to me) garden.  My husband built me several boxes so that I could keep things orderly.  Everything was planted before I left, and my husband did the best he could taking care of it while I was gone.  When I came back I couldn’t believe how much everything had grown.  Honestly it was a little much for me to see because it was overgrown, there were weeds and it didn’t look anything like I had planned it to be.  That being said we are still getting a lot of vegetables from it.   One of the first things I decided to do was make pickles because we had so many cucumbers.  Yesterday I ran three batches of pickles through the canner.  I had planned on doing more, but my daughter came over so I put i

His next assignment….

Image
 Today hubby was offered a new contract, but this time he would be going to Ohio.  I am so unsure of how I feel about that one.  He will be at least 6 hours away.  He thinks it might be a good idea because it is four 10 hour days which he says would leave him with three days off to be at home.  The problem with that is it will be much further away….the pay is also $200 less per week, and it would definitely mean no driving home after work to see me.  With gas prices as high as they are that has me a little nervous too. Right now he is two hours away and that was hard.  How will I handle six hours away?????   Part of the big problem is I think he is worried about getting the “ideal” job and if he passes one up then a better one won’t come along.  I have to admit I am a little worried about that as well especially since he has to have a new contract signed before this one ends.   Another part of what worries me is that they want to hire him without even interviewing him.  My fear is they
