New Blog Design...On It's Way....I HOPE!
I have purchased a new blog design! I am very excited about this! After all my attempts and failures to do this on my own, I thought it was time to go to a professional. I found someone who does some great designs on ETSY!
I'm waiting, though. I hope this works out and I get it up and installed by the weekend. Until then, I will continue to write.
Has anyone else had horrible experiences with the Fan/Like page on Facebook? I dislike! Why do they make it so hard to use? Facebook used to be easy, but these Fan/Like pages are beyond ridiculous. I am using it for my Giving Mom's Third Act for donating and announcing donating opportunities for those interested in giving or knowing individuals in need. With that I will sign out. and say tell me what you think about these crazy Like Pages!
Fingers are Crossed...!

Happy Birthdy Sammy!!!!!
From the Diary of The Wonderful World of Christie's Happy Birthay to Sammy Richard Little, October 17, 2012!!!!!
Happy Birthday Sammy Boy! Twelve years ago today, at 8:23 AM, my boy came into my world. He was a red long sweet boy we named Thomas. That's right, Thomas. LOL. He was the sweetest little guy. After 27 hours of long long labor I was tired, but ready to just hold him for as long as the nurses would let me hold him. After a few hours, I broke it to Tom that the boy could not be named Thomas. LOL. He relented after all my trials and tribulations of childbirth (note to women a time time to really use that bargaining chip.) A few days later we came up with Samuel Richard (after my dad) Little, Sammy for short. He has the imagination and questions of a boy. I've learned more about Legos, the boy smell, climbing trees, a tick on balls, woodies at awkward moments, and the sense of humor of his mother than I ever thought I ever could glean from a little dude. Happy Birthday, My Sammy!!!!! You are so so so very loved!

Crazy Ones....You're Welcome Here Anytime!

A moment of madness hits a all I need is music and I'm right back on track. We all have a string of creativity that connects the brain to the soul and need for crazy expression! Do you feel it?

Welcome Back To My Baby..!
It's so much easier this way! Good bye THENEWwonderfulworldofchristie.blogspot.com ! You've been wonerful, in theory, but a pain in the ass to set up!
I've decide to stay with what I know and Come back to my baby! I've been with you for 9 years! Not all those years were busy, but holy crap I refuse to give up 9 years of the AMAZING, the SPARKLING, the sad, and yes sometimes the bad.
Welcome back to My Wonderful World.
Ready to Primp and Sparkle!
XOXO,
C

Diary Of A Crazy Woman Trying to Prettify Her Blog!
I've put myself through the hell of Blog Beautification! It sucks, badly. Trust me when I say, it sucks! Blogger used to be so easy. Not any more. I'm ready to move on and need to find a new host. I'm officially a FACEBOOK CHEATER! I have cheated on my blog for way to long. Blogging and writing is therapeutic.
Riddle me this. Am I trying to make my blog sparkle and pretty to hide the non sparkly I'm feeling inside? Hmmm. That's the question. I will continue to make this try and look pretty, because I like looking at pretty aesthetics. Maybe I just want the pretty to hide the hell. I haven't quite figured it out, yet. The journey will only help me discover the answer, if there ever is one to find.
On To Prettify (As Mama Boo Boo's June would say,...I just quoted something from Honey Boo Boo LOL,)

Diary Of A Third Act!
A second act is inevitable. I believe we get as many acts as we want in our lifetime. I feel like I'm nearing the end of my second act and ready for the third fabulous act. What shall it be? I have no idea. My kids and family are always center stage, but now I need do something for my self worth and loveliness. The lonely and looking back are behind me. Working on the here and now, including the future drives my moments coming out of my solace.
Am I enough for you? I have given up enough of me to be everything for you, but I forgot about the loveliness that I am. I wasn't allowed to live my dreams, because I took care of everyone else in my world. Now it's my turn.
I am ready for that next act of mine. I'm ready for some of those dreams.
XOXO

Takes From A Crazy Move!
From Diary of A Move With Kids, Dogs, and one crazy GYPSY!
Our move is about done and it has been EVENTFUL! Three kids, two dogs, a husband, Barb ( my GPS,) and Gypsy (his GPS) make for one crazy trip through the south. Barb is the perfect GPS and Gypsy, well Gypsy takes routes like, well, a Gypsy!
Hotel living consists of two rooms, with dogs and three of us in one and two in another. Traveling with dogs makes me think, why?! What was I thinking?! We don't have crying babies with us, but we do have barking dogs. Along comes my savior, to help save my sanity!
What is the SAVIOR? Hmmm... Wait for it! Wait for it!
Doggie Daycare! Just make sure you don't call it Doggie Daycare to the staff, because they call it Doggie Day Camp! It's the deal of the century! My pups love it! We drive past it and they go nuts!
That's it for now.
Until I have a little Sparkle or Pink to share!
Doggie Daycare Mommy! Don't take another picture! Let's go!
Mommy, I love my picture getting taken by you!

Sparkly, Yes! Feeling Sparkly, Not So Much!
How lucky our we this June? We found a beautiful, historic, and turn key home in the heart of the historic district of Norfolk. I had no idea such a place existed in such a military community. It's classic gem, among other classic gems. The difference is that this is our Colonial gem. I'm happy and so excited to move in, in the next 6 weeks.
Not so sparkly is the feeling that I need to pack up and change everything. Florida hasn't been my favorite, but the kids have really found their niches. From the high school, to the friends, and finally the the swim team that has become my two younger ones' haven. It's a hard one to tackle emotionally.
I'll tackle this head on and with all the grace I can conjure, in this soon to be 40 something of myself. xoxo
Until Later,

Welcome To The World Of Teenage Daughters!
Wonderful World of Christie's Diary of Everything F-ing up at the same time!
Just a few of those crazy ass days. Let me say before I begin that they crazy days seriously interfere with my Words With Friends addiction. I feel your pain Alec!
First of all, once you have kids get ready for all unknowns to happen when least expected and your heart ready to break in an instant. Then after broken heart the pissed off mom will rear her head and think some really bad things like, I wonder how much coal would cost by the pound.
Here's what I've come to terms with the last few days. First of all, I am only one woman..mom...and daughter. Life is rough sometimes, but my rough would be other's blessings. I get that. It doesn't negate the heartbreak or pain that is involved with raising them and being the wife of a Marine in Afghanistan. I am grateful for so many things in my amazing, yet crazy life. My husband is coming home soon! Yay! I'm trying not to be a bitching, whining, and complaining woman! So, why am I typing and blogging about this shit? I'm doing it so I don't sound and act like a royal, whiny, ungrateful bitch to those around me!
Well, OK, a little coffee and some good meds and I think I can get through the day. Writing Christmas/Happy Holiday cards to family and friends should help. It just started with my Middle Miss who fell on her back and it hurt her so badly. Nothing I could do could to touch the pain, except Motrin, said the doctor. Poor thing. I took her for Xrays yesterday and all is OK, but she's in so much pain, still. Then, my Oldest Irish Miss wants her boyfriend to visit this week. Yes, this week and he's from Nashville! That's right let me pull out $400 and fly him right in, oh and yeah let's do it right before Daddy comes home! Seriously? Sigh. Then to hear her cry, while she is upstairs in the shower and I'm downstairs, makes my hurting heart turn to utterly pissed off mom. Seriously! Ugh. I guess dropping $400 right at Christmas sounds like a great idea, doesn't it? Sigh. My husband would have flipped a gasket over the boyfriend coming here right BEFORE he comes home! Flipping a gasket is a mild depiction of the wrath of the Lt. Col. ! LOL. Then who would feel the wrath? Yes, you guessed it, that would be me explaining the stupidity of such a last minute flight.
Finally, the anxiety of it all just gets to me! Am I the only one that lets it just consume me? I need to stop doing that! I consciously know that I do, but putting the knowing into action is the hard part. So, no trying the putting into action today and just doing today!
On to Christmas/Holiday cards and getting some more out the door! I love Christmas and Hanukkah. The Catholic mom and Jewish dad make for some stories, but for now off to my Christmasukkah cards! :) I shall be doing some personalizing in each card, in my little winter wonderland of crazy lights, sparkle and pink! LOL!
Until My Next Coffee...TTFN,
xoxo

Have You Seen This Woman?!
Wonderful World Of Christie's Diary from the Lost and Want To Be Found...
hat the hell? How did this happen? No style? I'm getting told to stop dancing like that, by my girls?! Klonopin doesn't even help the the anxiety and turmoil going on and tearing up inside of me! Ugh. I'll get serious for a minute. I'm really wondering how I became this person.
I have given up so much of me by being a wife, mom, and dog mom. The last time I threw a tantrum about "me" was on our way to Nashville after leaving California and "my" house that we just bought and remodeled. ! After a few months in Nashville I decided therapy was a must, because I was crying way to much. After the hubby's one year deployment to the war, it was decided he had to go again and it was only 5 months later! Yay, me! Fuck! Crazy time came and found me.
That was the beginning of the sit down, shut up, and just go along for the ride! THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENED! My fingers figured it out ,with all my typing! Six months of therapy this time around and I just figured out when I lost me. Blogging is Cathartic. Wow!
Off to calm the chaos down and sing to Glee .... and Dance!
Found a little piece of me tonight...XOXOXO,
Christie
