Busy Busy
There has been a lot going on around here. I’m doing online school and just put in for a different major. So that’s exciting. I am going from IT related studies to Psychology. It was just approved this past week, so I was looking at my new schedule of classes and giving myself a “you can do this!” pep-talk.
Shirley moved to Minnesota. 
Miss her. But I’m always sending good vibes her way and I know she’s so Okay.
Edgar was just informed that his next scheduled deployment is changing from leaving in November of this year for Afghanistan -to- leaving in February (2010) for Iraq. It’s good news, trust me. Not only because he’ll be here a bit longer but because it’s said that Afghanistan is not the place to be right now.
What else is going on…
Little Ethan’s birthday is coming up. I can’t believe he’ll be 5! He told me today that he doesn’t want to be 5 years old. I looked at him and said “Are you kidding! 5 is soooo fun!” and he just crossed his arms and said, “No.” And I’m realizing that I don’t want him to be 5 either. He needs a couple more years to be prepared for the responsibilities of a 5 year old. Oh gosh…or maybe I do.
I watched Marley and Me. It’s a great movie. I don’t really sit down to an entire movie so that is one that I really enjoyed giving myself to for 2 hours.
Oh, and something weird. You know that saying that goes, “There’s plenty of fish in the sea.”? …Well come to find out, (I wrote a paper on this today) There is actually not. We are depleting this resource of bigger fish at a more rapid rate than the sea is producing.
Just a little tid bit of info.
Here’s just one related story if you’re interested.
Random, I know. Off to bed now.
My Girl…
This is my youngest, Mia. She is totally the princess of the house. She has 2 older brothers who adore and protect her. They’ve just naturally taken on that role. It’s very cute to me. She hears me sayin’ all day how “cute” she is. She has her daddy, who is SO wrapped around her [...]
Mia’s on Timeout?
As cute as they are, they need to be put in their place. And since where their place is should be determined by the parents, my role as a parent has always seemed so complex to me. I should laugh and play with them, but when they get bratty, I’m supposed to get stern and [...]
The Life!
So I am going through my pictures on my (spectacular!) macbook, which is now exactly 1 month old. (Had to throw that in there!) One of the features on iPhoto is that I can make a book. VEry easy. Just drag the pictures I like onto the layout of my choice.. So I made one. [...]
AWE
These people are the best. I had an amazing visit from my parents and all us siblings were together except for my Jonny & Jennie & Wes. I have pics from the past few years of my parents and siblings and there’s always 1 bro or sis missing…sucks! With one of us missing it feels [...]
My Kids
Here are 3 of the funnest people I know. They are kinda loud at times and super messy, so they drive me nuts and make me work..but their little personalities and daily growth and changes are one of the major things I’m very thankful for experiencing with them. My favorite is experiencing something that’s new [...]
brain freeze
how come they call brain freeze…brain freeze. Why don’t they call writer’s block, brain freeze. And they can just call brain freeze something else. Whenever I get brain freeze…um, the one that happens after drinking something cold too fast…It doesn’t feel like my brain gets cold..my throat is annoyingly cold and back of my throat [...]

Ethan: He find me [...]
the Beach!
