I Dare You! I dare any of you to just leave a comment. I have so many reads every single day. Actually you're from all over the world. I really want to know who reads me from Ireland. Just a hi! I know I'm HUGE in South Korea! LOL. Huge! I have a great following for people searching for my "Karma will bite you in the ass" comment. I don't know who visits I just get a few stats. Love to hear from you. I'll type more fluff if you do. Wait...maybe I shouldn't do the fluff stuff then you might not come back so often to check on me. :)
XOXO

Friday's Thought
Who knew that a few words could rattle a brain for so many years.
It could be our time.
Life goes on....Smiles are to be had...Memories are to be made...And memories are to be remembered.

Weekend Recap!
Do you want to know how good I am? I made pancakes for the kids this morning..and they weren't the toaster kind! :) Yep..that good. Oh and I even flat ironed Ava's hair, made three different lunches...and dropped them all off. :)
"Because cereal is boring Mommy!"
Halloween was delightfully exciting. There were so many kids in the neighborhood. We came from a neighborhood in Virginia with so few kids out on Halloween (it's a little different in the south.) This was a nice change. The pumpkins were carved and a little gooshy for wear, but carved and with lights bekoning the gremlins and goblins.
Before going out, though, they spent the day swimming in the 100 degree weather!
My little Darth and Devil were out among the others. We went street after street until dripping with sweat they asked to finally go home! It was them..not me...who ended it! That's always a super plus. I hope you had fun and if there weren't kids I hope you dressed and got in touch with that crazy side you sometimes hide inside!
:) :) :)

Busy Busy Busy
Busy Busy Week.
There was excitement, anxiety, and coocoo for cocoa puff kids! Oh, and let me not forget the "Cold Front" that came down from the north this weekend. :) We started the week with a Hot Hot Hot 96 and ended it with 68! Loved it! The kids had a busy school week, which in turn meant I had a busy school week. By the end of the week I was fried. I quickly perked up when my boy had his big huge 9th birthday. I can't believe it's been 9 years. He's hit a little bit of a rough patch with the move, but you know...he's going to be just fine. There must have been something in the air today because the house was a little bit of a nut house! LOL. When it's just the mommy, they just bring it up a few notches and push me to the limit. Yep...I was pushed to the limit and here back down relaxing in the quiet.
Here's my new motto. It takes one day at a time to be a good mommy. It's tough. Everything weighs heavy on our shoulders and hearts. Ok, well it weighs on mine. Going through another deployment, though not a super long one, is really hitting hard this time. So instead of worry about how the math tests will go next Friday or if my chapter of my book will come together by Tuesday, I'm going to just get through today. I know it's a twelve step motto, but heck I'll need it for the next 12years for sure. :)
Here are a few quick things:
*I'm blogging for me. Comment or Lurk if you want to, but know that I'm fully aware of the fluff factor.
*Skype is incredible.
*Dressing up is good for the soul.
*Grown up time is necessary.
*I've written quite a bit this week while listening to John Mayer and David Gray.
*My iPod is a necessity.
Have a good night friends...

It's Facebook's Fault!
Of course it's not my own fault that I've been an absent blogger for so long. I'm here to publicly state that it's Fabcebook's Fault that I've been so lazy with my writing.
Whether it's looking at every one's status, playing Bejeweled Blitz, or looking up long lost friends and sneaking peaks at their profile pics...it's made me,the writer, lazy! I've promised myself I am going to write once a day, again. I put some different tunes on my playlist.com to get me in flow mood. Why? It helps me to get thoughts together to write my stories, that are not part of my blogs. I'm still working on the book. I might have a stories and chapters of many different types. I haven't gotten the "One" published, yet. It's ok...the block is gone. I'm back in the groove. I'm journaling more and have notes all over the place, yet in an orderly all over the place kind of way. It feels good, especially since they're not on the crazy yellow sticky notes. :) I've been there and soooo done that.
Well the boy just called me to go outside so I must go. I just took a picture of the boy in his afternoon outfit of choice!

Back To Writing....
I haven't blogged in forever. I realize I've started a few of my blogs like that lately, but I've missed writing. We're in Florida and getting used to it. I never thought I'd say this, but I miss Virginia! Florida schools are nothing like the district we lived in while we were in Virginia. I'm sure by the next time we move I'll be missing Florida. :)
The very soon to be Lt. Colonel is deployed with his Marines. It just seems every single time he is off in the middle east the kids seem to melt down a little. This time, though, it's just a strep/chronic tonsillitis with A. I'm hoping that K's kidney keeps nice and healthy. Since we've been here, I've yet to find a urologist or a nephrologist for her. As she gets older she has different needs. She's a teenager now and it's more difficult than just choosing a "good" doctor. . You'd be amazed at how many doctor's we've gone to with a God Complex. From Preemie to a Teen she's had many doctors, surgeries, and appointments. I have to search for a better fit than the first referral. Life is good these days for K. She's been so healthy and happy. Who knew time would fly so fast. She's already gone to her first Homecoming Dance this past weekend.
So, after Homecoming for K, a deployment, and strep with A... we get a birthday party this week , too! Sammy is ready for his party! He wants a pool party and I'm ready for it! LOL..It is Florida and it was 94 today. It should be beautiful this weekend.
I may have something more profound to say tomorrow. :) Then again it could be total fluff.
Off to enjoy the night.

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.

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!
