date night, shmate night

i start and i start over then i start again. . . . i have soooo o much to write about and at the same time i have absolutly nothing to write about. it just all everyday same ol'-same ol'. however the everyday is our EVERYTHING. rushing thomas out the door to go to school makes me happy. seeing tobias wake up first thing in the morning brings me joy. falling asleep next to rodney is the perfect end to all my days. but is it ok to have everyday same ol' same ol' with the ol' husband? i've read magazine articles in redbook, woman's day and readers digest about "how to spice up your marriage". i always thought this was stupid. why would a marriage need spicing up and why on earth do we call it 'spice'. that's gay. rodney and i had "date night" a couple weeks back in an effort to throw something different into our everyday everything. however, we had an evening that started and 7 and was over by 10. we would have been on the "don't" list in any of these magazine articles. nevertheless, we hung out again last night and have plans to go out to celebrate valentines day. so we will forever continue to go out, we just need more patience and practice. i tell you what though. . . .i'd rather have a million failed date nights with rodney then one single "everyday" day without rodney.

in our pj's

we rang in the new year with a bang!

well it was more like a tone-deaf shreak. we sang kareoke at fabi's. i sang a sarah mcbride song mercyless. and rodney gave a go at "don't ya". and i wish he didn't. but it was FUN and we made it home safe to see another year.

2007 wrap up

i was taking a look back at all my past entries and . . . i've been through a lot this year. we've passed my birthday, easter, 4th of july, halloween and a thanksgiving. over all i had a really great 2007. i barely worked at all and yet i was paid as if i'd worked a great deal. i couldn't be more blessed this year. with the birth of my second son and the health of my entire family. however now the year is nearly over. we're winding down to the last few days of 2007. i'm both excited and upset. time is the enemy. i'm getting older, my baby's getting teeth, we are choosing a a middle school for my oldest son. but they say that bad things happen in sets of three and my time has come. a few weeks ago, while praying to the Lord, i told Him how blessed i was and thanking Him for all the good in my life. everything was well. however, its over now. my grandfather is in the hospital yet again. each visit getting more serious than the next. technically i'm prepared for the death of my grandfather. it is part of the life cycle and he's had a wonderful long life with many people who love him and will pray for him to reach heaven. that's only the technical part. in reality, seeing my mother's father pass will destroy me. secondly, i had a minor car accident yesterday all was well, there was no damage. until today when the lady changed her mind but my insurance refused to pay claiming it was equal fault. ordinarily this would be wonderful news (and it still is) but i work with this lady. we revered into each other in the company parking lot yesterday. superb. and something that would only happen to me. third . . . . the third thing is out there. hanging over me like my own personal storm cloud like in cartoons, only raining on me. i'm waiting for it. it's coming and soon. i need to be careful that i am not my own third event, but i'm sure i know what it is or will be.

sans dialog

i'm a looser

i feel like such a looser cuz i keep throwing pictures up here w/o any dialog. but i keep thinking. "who wants to read this crap anyway?" i mean seriously, i don't even think that my husbands reads it. which is kind of good cuz i can talk about other hot men if i wanted to. . . . but i wont. just in case ; ) i jest. anyhow, audience or no audience, i will continue to blog about my little family just for fun. it's entertaining.

we are preparing for thanksgiving today. my sister, mother and i went to the big wal-mart and got all the fixin's for turkey day. thanksgiving kind of snuck up on me, just like everything else this year. time goes by way toooo fast. the kids grow too fast. i try not to think about time too much because it will quickly lead to thoughts about death and the end of the world. i regards to time, my cup is 1/2 empty. i appologize.

happy thanksgiving to ALL my audience!!!
