One Of Those

So yeah it's one of those...

It's a 2:30 AM blog post. For one I can't sleep just yet. Of course I realize my addiction for the internet, facebook, gmail, etc is completely and utterly out of control lol. With that said here I am posting away.

Today was a healthy day. Not so much food wise, food wise actually was a terrible day, shameful even. Healthy as in an emotional state. Mark and I went to see "The Change Up". We highly recommend this movie. Totally laugh out loud funny with quite of bit of raunchy humor. I won't give anything away but if you like "Bridesmaids", "The Hangover Part 1 & 2", etc it's a must see movie on the list. Definitely not for the kiddie's though. Straight afterwards we picked up Andrew for his session with the infamous Dr.D. Our partial miracle worker. Highly recommend him for an ear to listen if you need it. Anyhow Andrew unfortunately due to his high anxiety, lack of meds right now was just how do I put it delicately? Well he was just plain difficult. Didn't talk much, wouldn't answer questions, and the list can go on, and on, and on...Literally it could. Mark and I just kept discussing all the possibilities of what the issues could be. He is a temperamental child really, always has been. We decided he needed some one on one time. With that being said we treated him to dinner (Of his choice) & a movie (again his choice) with just the TWO of us. Now this is a rare treat for the kids and we are taking every advantage of Mark's Mom still being here with us. Not abusing it, but taking and loving fully the benefits of "living" near a grandparent...not really her living in her own seperate space but you guys get the jist. He loved it. We ate at Golden Corral (see food choices not so healthy), and seen a long movie. Hopefully it brightened his spirits up! I know it certainly did ours.

Today is really a big day for me. With the support of my Husband and my family I know things will work out well. I won't reveal anything just yet, maybe this weekend, maybe next week or even in a month or two. But I am sure I will talk about it here eventually. Until next time.

Beach Day

Beach Day's are always a welcome site. When the weather isn't too hot, the breeze is just right, and the water is a perfect temperature for boogie boarding.

Yip

So again my poor blog suffers the rath of a busy life I guess...well maybe not THAT busy but a dash of lazy too lol. But really my schedule will be getting nice and busy here soon especially with school starting back up for the kids in less than 19 days. WoW 19 days...That went by fast. With PTA meetings, board meetings, general meetings, events coming up, planning, planning and more planning along the way this up coming school year will be GREAT, GREAT I SAY!!!

So on to some other things going on in our house. FINALLY going home for the first time in 6 long years. Sure I've seen my Mom every year since we've moved to the east coast. But it's not the same as going HOME. You know the place that you feel comfortable, that you long for, what makes you a little home sick. So I am finally doing it. Getting on that plane, flying across the country and going home. To gorge myself on carne asada fries, taquitos, korean dishes I can't even spell in english oh yeah and visit friends {giggles} lol. I am looking forward to it. Even though crashing on my Mom's sofa isn't too appealing I will deal for the price of the food { & Friends } haha. Last "alone" moment before my husband leaves us for a year.

Yup you read it right leaving, deployed, see you later, talk to you on Skype, letters that take weeks to arrive, care packages, cry in my pillow to fall asleep till you return home,missed phone calls, leaving. All the things I am sure to do and maybe even a few things I haven't mentioned either. The sacrifices we make for our country and freedoms. Thinking about this day is depressing enough and it is soon to be a reality.

Enough with the mushy stuff right?
Lots and lots planned really. Hopefully we will be kept so busy missing him won't take over and cause us chaos.
I do think I have some goals though for when he is gone which are always good to have, right?
