Normal As Could Be

Well, things are getting as back to normal as it can with 3 kids…………lol  Mom & dad left today.  Mom is missing the kids even though they drive her nuts when they are around……..normal for her, she did that with my sister and I when we were younger….grin

It was a good weekend, busy and tiring, but good.  I love been able to visit with my family.  Spent a lot of time in the pool and you can tell once you get a look at me.  I actually found a bikini that doesn’t fall off while diving under.  So I guess for the 1st time in years I will have some tan lines…….grin  Cheyanne loves to ride on my back in the pool.  I can’t go any where without her trying to jump on, the silly goose.

Uncle Harold sneaks up on the kids enough that once he goes under and swims towards them, they take off.  =)

Today was Harold & my 9th anniversity.  Luckily we already celebrated, with having the kids and working, it won’t have happened….lol  But Harold did get me some beautiful roses, a card and an adorable stuffed lion and tuttle pie for dessert.  I think I’ll name the lion Sid…..not sure.  I love you honey!!  Married for 9, been together for 13 in Oct.  I think we are doing pretty good…grin  Mom & Dad brought us dinner last night for it.

I would love to write more, but I’ve been up since 3:30am & I need to get up by 5:30am tomorrow.  I hope to have more of a routine within the next few days where I can actually do a proper update.

Busy, Busy

We just got done with a hell of a thunderstorm. It was loud. We sat out on the patio, watched the water drift in, and enjoyed the change in temperature. It was cool

We have been busy as heck the last few days. Mom, Dad & the kids will be here Sunday afternoon and I have been stressing on getting everything done around the house.

I came home yesterday and Harold was so sweet and made my life easier. He got a great portion of the cleaning and organizing done. I did get the mopping & a portion of laundry done, even though I was about to collapse with exhaustion since I hadn’t gotten enough sleep the last few nights.

It made today so much easier. We did our errands 1st thing this morning, then we attacked the remaining of the cleaning and organizing. There are only a few things I didn’t get done today and that was email related. I will work on my emails tomorrow after work, since I won’t be able to get to them until Thrus of next week the earliest.

We did spend some time jumping into the pool. Though I think Harold was trying to drown me as we played with the nerf-like football we picked up today………..grin We had a lot of fun.

My folks left from Indiana today and are spending the night in Georgia. They will be visiting aunt Maire on the other side of the state Sunday before heading here. I’m so looking forward to seeing them. I miss them.

Time for me to get my ass to bed. I have to get into work early.

An Inconvenient Woman
**Just think how much better women would’ve been treated and thought of in both christian and muslim faiths if her role would’ve been acknowlegde. But no, cultural prejudices on gender had to persist and enslave have the human race based on sex alone. If you look at where women stand today internationally, we haven’t come as far as we would like to believe. We are just better off then women in other countries and we just don’t want to see what they are going through. But if we did, we would have to acknowledge that we really haven’t come that far and we could easily go back.

Surgeon optimistic, cautious on Barbaro
**There is hope! I have my fingers crossed for him. I couldn’t fully understand why they would have to put him down when other animals (dogs…etc) have gone on with only 3 legs. Until Harold sent me this ” the possibility of infection from the surgery and laminitis, a potentially fatal disease sometimes brought on by uneven weight balance.” =(

Women vets refuse ‘victim’ label
**I had planned to comment on this awhile ago. I believe these women should be held to as proof that they can serve as fully as men. They have suffered the conquences of war and have endured, for better or worse, just like the men. Women have been suffering the conquences of war since man learned how to inflict pain onto one another. The difference is serving is that they have been given the choice on how to suffer war, whether hiding in a corner or being allowed to take their fate in their own hands.

***About damn time!!!


Bernardini Wins Preakness, Barbaro Out

*** Harold recorded and waited for me to come home so we could watch it together. He even avoided going to EPSN and avoided the sports news on CNN. It was a heart breaking to see what happened Barbaro. When you saw his leg……I just cried. Unfortunately it took out our enjoyment of the race. =( Even if we weren’t pulling for him, we hate to see that happen to an animal. I just hope he pulls through.
