GIVE ME MY BALL, I'M GOING HOME!

Does it seem odd to anyone else that people keep picking on me? I am a pretty nice person(until you piss me off:) I realize I am an easy target, but enough already! It is nothing big, not "one" person, just lots of little things that I'm sure are meant to be funny or helpful, but my feelings are getting alittle hurt. I think it is because I have a bunch going on that nobody is aware of. I am usually very open with ALL parts of my life, but every once-in-awhile I decide not to SHARE it ALL and deal with my issues alone or not share every detail of how I'm feeling.

That said, I know that nobody is out to be mean(I hope:)and that I am being a tad over sensitive, but come-on, BITE YOUR TONGUE EVERY SO OFTEN!

Not Enough Time

Weekends are just too short. There seems to be an endless list of chores and no down time. Saturday was Declan's last soccer game, so that's one thing off the weekend list. I'm not sure where all of our time went, but now it's gone and I have four days until Friday!

This is Declan's last week of Kindergarten!!! I am very excited about the last week of school. Summer here I come!!! I'll be at the beach in no time:)

A Real Cold....

I am not feeling well. I have caught Declan's cold. I now Know why he begged to stay home from school every day for a week:) Here I thought he was just ready for summer, but he was really not feeling well. And now I don't either.

And my poor family, I am a big baby when I am sick. At least Husband has been nice:)

Life's Too Short...

On Wednesday, I got really annoyed at my mom. She said something to me on the phone that pissed me off; so, I hung up on her. I haven't talked to her since(which may not seem like much, but I usually talk to her a few times a day:) Last night when I was getting ready for bed, it occurred to me how silly it was to be angry at her. Why did I care what she said? Was it going to change what I was doing or going to do? The answer is, I really didn't care what she said and have no intention of changing what I was doing based on what she said. I am going to continuing living my life the way I do and make my own choices and I am comfortable with that. I also think that life is too short for me to get myself upset over what some one thinks of me, not even my mom.

And for the record, she really wasn't that mean, I was a bit over sensitive:) And now I am done.

18 Years of Happiness...

On July 2,2008, Husband and I will celebrate 18 years together. Eighteen years, I was 15 he was 18. Who would have thought that we'd ever end up here(I think my MIL is still wishing we didn't:) We've been through so much together as I am sure you can imagine; 18 years of your life is quite long especially when you are only 33 now! I have been able to share more than half my life with the love of my life. I am glad we met when we did and that we have been able to grow and change with each other. I do not feel that we have held one another back, but only helped each other push ahead. We have had good times and bad, ups and downs, but through it all we are still together. On our wedding day, 8 years ago, I told my husband-to-be that he better be ready for this because I was only doing it once. If he said "I Do", we weren't ending this until one of us was dead:) Well, so far so good. Eighteen years and counting!

Too Bad we aren't in Hollywood, I am sure we could get an achievement award for 18 years with the same person:)

A Better Mood:)

I am not as angry as I was partly due to this:


which made me laugh until I cried. Maggie insisted on wearing the shoes and socks out! My mood was also improved due to the fact that my friend and her wonderful husband, helped me get some time without the kids. Bec and I went to get pedicures while Ryan kept all 6 kids(8,6,5,5,3&3) all by himself for over an hour! Sometimes a good friends can help a bad mood:)





Here's a picture of the girls with the Newfie! He may be, no he IS the best dog ever:)

A big giant softy! He is 3 Today! We love him even if he slobbers ALL over us and our stuff;)
