Back that ass up Wednesday

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

So I have come to find that no matter what schedule I want to "put" myself in I am too busy living my life to write about my life!  I vow to not be so hard on myself if we have to do Back that ass up posts more often!

S and I went ghost hunting last week and had a blast!  We braved out the morning despite hearing moaning and doing the correct..."was it the wind, was it this or that?".  It was none of the above and wasn't debunked.  It was clearly moaning.  I have yet to take pictures which really pisses me off so maybe next time I will remember it! 

Friday was fairly uneventful.  We went out to dinner and I was just jumping for joy that I didn't have to cook.  Anyday when you mark that off the to do list without really doing it, it a good day for me!  I love to cook but I hate hate hate to clean up!  I think there should be a button on the kitchen that does it for you.  Sort of like the Jetsons!

Saturday we went to the G's house and had a blast as always.  We always have fun with them. J started the tattoo on my right foot and it is looking good.  Now, we just need to finish both!   I had way, way to much to drink and thought I would pay for it the next day but woke up ok.  A slight headache that some water and a pill cured right away. 

Sunday we didn't do much.  It was a lay around day after E's preschool graduation and out to eat with the F's family!  The kids did a great job and it made me so sad to see him continue to grow!  I love Sundays.  Growing up our Sundays were always that way.  There is so much I remember about Sundays in particular.  Mom and Dad would work outside and I would stay in and clean the house, start dinner and finish the things inside that needed done.  I loved doing it.  Not to mention I never minded doing the dishes because the window air unit was in the kitchen window!  I was hot even then!  I also remember laying on the living room floor smelling roast cooking in the oven and feeling the breeze of the front door open while watching the cubs.  It is funny to me how almost ever Sunday brings me back to home.

Monday, E started his last week of school.  School is almost out for the summer?!?!?!  What?!?!  How on earth  am I going to survive the summer?!?!  To be quite honest I am really looking forward to having the kids home and having a more laid back attitude! I say that now but by the time July rolls around I will be kicking myself!

Monday was also a day that my moms headstone came in and it is beautiful.  Really, really beautiful and it makes me so sad.  I still find everything so strange and new.  The pain never ending and my thoughts always racing.  Everything just feels so different.  She was the one person I turned to for everything and it is odd not to have her voice in my ear. I hate it and find it difficult to really believe that she is gone.

Yesterday (Tuesday) and today (Wednesday) are much in the same.  Storms are rolling through, house needs cleaned, dinner made, baths, etc, etc.  I know that I should feel lucky that we have a roof, food and love and I do!  The thing I am not lucky with is these damn mosquitos.  We are outside people and we can't even do that without being ate alive.  E tends to be allergic to them and once he is bit they become huge hot, red welts.  It isn't worth the hours spent outside for the night miserable.

As I was laying in bed last night I was reflecting on the people in my life.  Some are always there for me and I am there for them.  Some act like they care about you and turn their back on you the second they get what they want or need from you and some call you a friend but aren't there for you at all.  When these things hop into my mind I am always reminded of a quote that I love and is so true.  I will end this post with that....
