We're Off!

It's Moving Day!

We're off to Tampa and who knows what adventures that will hold for us! Exciting!

I need to get off my a** right now and fold the last little load of laundry for the packing!

By Yorktown VA! It's been nice, but we're so ready to leave!

MJ and Our Move

Ok, I'm over all of the Michael Jackson news. It's just completely on overload right about now. How many more times can we watch the same foootage...over and over. In all the news the last few days I don't remember hearing that Iran is going to have the English Embassy staff stand trial over the protests. Sad.

I've been organizing the house for the move next week. The packers will be here next Wednesday and Thursday...then the movers will be here Friday. After all of that we're off to Tampa. Another adventure. We have a wonderful house (with no Chinese drywall)and the schools for the kids are fabulous. What more could I want. Oh, and let's not forget the cruise ships leave from there,too. Disneyworld is an hour away. The kids are happy with that. I'm happy with the cruise ships.

Ok, off to see what's next on my list.

Sigh...

Sigh...

Just in a funky mood. We're getting ready to move again and it's feeling pretty daunting. I need some serious yoga or something to relax. Maybe just a good cry. I don't know. I'm sure it's not interesting for anyone to read. So on that note i'm going to bed.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Friends...

How's this for my mother.

The phone rings at 9:50 East Coast time. My mom is in Cali.

ring ring...

-Hi mom.

-Christie hang up and call your Dad. Wish him a Happy Father's Day!

-Ok..I was just waiting until he might be up...

That's right friends...my mom still thought she needed to call me at 6:50AM and tell me to call my dad! She is absolutely classic. OMG!

A Few Of My Favorite Things!

Just a few of my favorite things! With school coming to an end I will need more of some and then missing others until school starts again. The Bus..I love when it picks up my precious ones and Mr. W brings them to school for the entire day.

After the kids are off I walk up to my house on the water and just relax for a while.

The coffee maker of choice is the Cuisinart and then the espresso pot that my sister got me for Christmas. Love them and my favorite mug.

After buying a few camcorders this Sony is what I always have with me. It's tiny and pops right into my purse. Love it.

Last but not least...my favorite stylish paper plates. These little babies help in doing dishes..a la..in the trash. I figure I save in water..so I don't feel badly about the recycling. LOL..That's what I tell myself.

Happy Birthday To Me!

I've had a great weekend.

Turning 39 was much easier than 38. I guess I've let go and now I'm just going with the flow. Life is good and fun. My kids are great. Between kisses, love, a movie, cards, gifts, homemade gifts, and even laundry sheets from my boy (who saw how I thought they were interesting and threw them in my grocery cart for part of his present,) my Bday was great! All of that being, I'll take the year before 40 nice and slow! :)

A Happy Birthday never felt soooo good!

Jenny McCarthy!

Edit 12:36: I did a little editing. UGH! I didn't realize how horribly my post was missing words.

Another few interesting things happened in the life of me. I'm convinced, my friends, that my children have my sense of humor and my mother's temper. Yep, my mother's, not mine. I'm so relaxed..cool..unhealthy with holding my feelings inside, but they are not like me. Sweet, loving, um in love with me, and still tiny little tempers.They just crack me up on a daily basis, even when I feel like I'm losing it. That being said, let's move on to what my husband and my children are planning while he is deployed.

"Hey hunny I've been thinking about your hair. So I think you should splurge and get a makeover! So, I emailed you a picture of a nice "blunt" cut and color!"



Ummmmm Jenny McCarthy! She's one hot Mama! Ummm does he know who I am? I'm not
Jenny McCarthy, ok I'm funny, but not Jenny hot! LOL. Kasey and I are convinced it's quite the gay husbandly thing to do, thinking about my hair and finding a "look" for me. LOL. He insists that a "sleek blunt cut" is the way to go. No more flipping of ends! Well, ok then...I'll see what I can do. This girl isn't going to say no to a spa day! Ever! :) So jenny, let's see how blond this mama can get and still look good. I'm fighting that next birthday with alll my might

Speeding Through..

As my birthday quickly approaches I'm reminded of the younger version of me. I haven't always been married with three kids, a dog, and a minivan. There so much of me better in my thirties and yet the carefree easy me of my 20's is still so wanted from time to time. I'm not living in the past, just coming to terms with the me of now and the possible melding of the two.

When did the 4 o'clock coffee time become a necessary ritual in my day? When did I daydream about the boob lift that could magically make the boobies smaller higher and show me the skin on my ribcage that has been covered for years. LOL. Have you ever weighed your boobs on a food scale to see how much your weight you could blame on the boobies? I have.

I do love the the more technical savvy me, the fact that I don't have crows feet around my eyes is pretty cool, the patience is pretty easy for me, and how I see myself in my children is worth it all. So, there has to be give an take in my mind. Ok..I won't overthink it today. No over thinking necessary. Maybe I am getting better with age, but could it just come on a little slower..:)?

Wordless Wednesday

Sentimental Moments

Feeling a little sentimental tonight and sipping a little wine. Kids are quiet and enjoying a movie. Headphones are in and I'm just enjoying a little Van Morrison. :)Have I told you lately that I love you....

All Over The Place!

Here's my little buddy. This picture was taken last week with him on the table after I got home from running some errands. It happened again this week. My poor little buy just nudged his way up looking for something yummy on the table. :) Little did he know the mommy was going to a field trip with the boy! LOL!

I wonder if he got up as soon as I left or if he waited an hour? He just has the cutest little whine when I walk in the door.

Ok...so Happy Saturday. I'm having a yummy diet coke right now and the girls are getting ready for "Jonas." Does anyone else think it's very Monkeys(esque?) Crazy!

It's been a pretty low key Saturday. A haircut for the boy, little errands, and cleaning is what's been making up the day. LOL..fun...I know. Hope yours is great!

Dreams Dreams Dreams....they've been taking me to places I could only have imagined! Another...Crazy!
