New Movie night.

Not a lot happened today. Dale is still trying to get use to being home all the time now. He will adjust just fine I know but he seems to get bored easy. Anyway we just hung out at home today. We watched the new Harry Potter Part 1. and the new The Chronicles of Narnia movies as a family. It was nice and both movies were great. Blog at you later

Spending time

Today I went and spent some time with my scrap booking girls. It was nice to see them again. It has been a long time since I was able to go and hang out with them. After all that was done I came home and hung out with Dale since today was his first day off for the next two weeks before he starts at the Police Station. Oh did I forget to tell you...He he.... Dale got the job as a Police Officer for the Clarksville Police Department. His first day will be on the 2nd of May and he heads to the academy on 22 of May. We are so happy. Anyway We spent some time together until the kids got home from school then we all just hung out till bed time. Blog at you later.

Wednesday HodgePodge

1. Would you rather talk to everyone at a crowded party for a short time or have a significant conversation with two people?

I am going to say both depending on what kind of mood im in and what kind of party it is.

2. What objects do you remember from your parent's living room?

I remember my mom alway had a lot of pictures of the family in her living room.

3. Do you hog the bed? Steal the covers? Snore?

Well considering that most nights I have the bed to myself thanks to my working husband always working nights I would say yes to the bed hog, no to the cover stealer and I have no idea if I snore or not because I am usually asleep and my husband has never complained about it.

4. Speaking of Easter dinner....what is your favorite way to cook/eat lamb? Or does just the thought of that make you squeamish? If you're not cooking lamb what will be your entree du jour on Easter Sunday?

Ummm well I don't eat lamb so I wouldn't know how to cook it and as for the main meat at dinner we never really had a traditon of having a big mean on Easter. We just eat what ever is planned for the day. Plus Im not much of a big cooker so I only limit my big meals to twice a year and they are both at the end of the year. Lol

5. Let's throw some politics into this week's mix-oooohhh...Do you know the whereabouts of your birth certificate and when was the last time you had to produce it to prove you're you?

Yes I know where my birth cerificate is and the rest of my family's are. We keep them together. I can honestly say I don't remember when the last time I needed it. Being a stay at home mom doesn't have much call for it.

6. As a child, how did people describe you?

as a little mommy. I alway loved to make people feel better.

7. What do you complain about the most?

The fact that my kids can't seem to pick up after themselves. It drives me crazy when they get something out and then just leave it there instead of putting it away when they are done. I mean come on they are almost teenagers you would think they could at least do that.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

If you love someone because you think they are gorgeous

than its not love- Its Infatuation

If you love someone because you think that you shouldnt leave them

or because others think you shouldn't leave them

than its not love- Its compromise

If you love someone because you think you cannot live without their touch

than its not love- Its Inferiority Complex

If you love someone because you have been kissed by them

its not love- Its Charity

If you love someone because you share everything with them

its not love- Its Friendship

BUT

If you feel the pain of the other person more than they, even when they are stable

and you cry for them

Thats Love

If you are attracted to ther people but stay with them without regrets

That's Love

If you let them go knowing that they have to go even though they don't want to go

That's Love

Beautiful day

What a beautiful day it was today. I just wish it would stay this way. Not going to though. Anyway today was a pretty peacful day. I did the house chores and spent some time with Dale and then went and picked up Dj and Andrew from school. The boys played outside for a while

climbing the tree across from my apartment. They got pretty high up the tree before I made them come back down. I didn't want anyone getting scared or stuck up there. The tree is pretty big so they did have a little trouble getting in it in the first place but once they were up there they just wanted to go to the top. I said no of course but they made it about half way up the tree. Boys will be boys. lol.

This is Dj half way up the tree

This is Andrew half way up the tree

Then Andrew went home and we all took a nice walk around the apartments with Mindy and her boys. It was a really nice day. I hope tomorrow is just as nice.

Blog at you later

Meet me on monday

1. Who would be your dream celebrity date?

No words needed. Matthew McConaughey.

2. Do you have any food restrictions?

There are some shell fish that I can not eat but more recently I think I have grown an intolerance to eggs. They don't seem to get along with my insides very well.

3. How much time do you take to get ready in the morning?

About twenty mins tops just depending on what my day looks like.

4. Sausage or bacon?

Both please

5. Do you Google, Bing or Yahoo?

Google, I find it get me what I want without all the running around.

A calm day

So yesterday Dj got a call from his little girl-friend and she had received two free skating passes on her birthday so she invited Dj to go with her today. Now normally I wouldn't let him go anywhere on a Sunday but since we didn't have anything else going on I said yes. Plus I really think it is good for him to be around her. She is a good influence on him. She keeps him strait with his grades and attitude Plus they are kinda cute. Lol. Oh her name is Caitlin. They are in the same grade and on the same team at school. Anyway after he got home and Elyssa returned from her sleep over we had our family home evening lesson then played a couple of games and then Dj made dinner. He got kinda creative and made baked potatoes with chili on top. They were pretty good to tell the truth. I personally would have never thought to do that but hey what can I say the boy is a good cook. Sure didn't get that trait from me. lol. Blog at you later.

The next phase

So today Dj had his end of the season party for his basketball team. They went undefeated for the whole season. He was very proud of that. They celebrated at the skating rink and got a dog tag chain that said their name on one side and Undefeated season on the other. It was a nice gift from the coach to the kids.This is his team. Not a great picture but Dale took it with his phone. Its the only one we got of the whole team plus coaches. He accually had two teams that the coach tought but they did not play that day so this is the only picture we have. Elyssa went and spent the day with her new little friend Sarah. They live pretty close to us and her mom is so sweet. I'm glad she has a new friend she can play with that doesn't live here in the apartments. She ended up spending the night with her. It is nice to see her so happy again. Dale and I spent the day just hanging out until Dj needed to come home. I realized that while being a stay at home mom for the last 12 years has been a great blessing for me I am going to have a very hard time with empty Nester's when the kids leave the house for good if I don't find something to do outside of this house. Don't get me wrong I love my family but I am not going to do well when I am no longer needed on a daily basis by someone. So now that Dale is going to be working closer to home with better pay and all that I think I am really going to pursue the whole going back to school thing. I need to have something outside of this house to keep me sane later. Anyway that's all for now. Blog at you later.
