Rainy day #4 I think...

It has rained all week and it is getting old super fast.  Right now it is raining really hard here and I am dreading going out in it.  I babysit during the day and today just has to be the day were I have to pick up the boy I babysit and Zander.  This means getting soaked....I think it is time for us to invest in a umbrella.  Anyways, I am sick of this rain.  Yeah, we needed it bad, but this is to much.  I have seen pictures that friends have posted on facebook where it is flooding...thank god it isn't flooding on my street over here.  Hopefully, the rain will stop and we can have a nice weekend here.

Talking about the weekend, tomorrow is payday.....YAY!!!!  Zander has picked out his Halloween costume and he has decided of course to be Spongebob and I told him we could go buy it this weekend.  Other than that I have no clue what me a lil man are getting into this weekend.  I know I have another school paper to write, I know I am putting that off till the weekend.  I hate the weekends when the hubby is gone because I miss him more on the weekends for some odd reason.  I guess were he works during the week and I am busy during those days.


Today my niece turned 5.  It is sad actually, lol because I know next month Zander will be 5.  I talked to her this morning because she couldn't wait till after school and all she could tell me was Dana I am 5.  She is so cute.  It doesn't even seen like it has been 5 years since her and Zander was born.  Man, how time flies.  Before we know it they will be graduating high school.


Does any of your kids have separation issues  when your spouse is away?  I think lil man is in that stage right now.  I have notice when Brandon is gone he does act out a little more than usual, but he has been doing it at school also.  Today he cried when I had to leave him at school.  It took me forever to get him in the car for me to take him.  He threw this huge fit over going.  It broke my heart because he did cry.  Also, when Brandon is away he will not sleep in his bed at all.  We have no problem him sleeping there when Brandon is home, he doesn't even wake up in middle of the night anymore and crawl in bed with us.  How do you ladies handle children's separation issues when your spouse is away?

Sorry for jumping around, but I had a couple of things on my mind.  Enjoy.....till next time.

Embarrassing Moment of the Day

I have to share this with everyone because it was truly embarrassing.

Today I decided that I would wait on Zander to get out of school to go to the post officer to mail a package...HUGE MISTAKE.  When I picked him up, I brought his after school snack with me were I could avoid him being a brat, lol.  We got to the post office and he ask to carry the package and of course I let him.  We get in the post office and it is packed.  Well....while standing in line he proceeds to scream out that he has to fart because it is a small post officer everyone turns and looks at us.  Then he proceeds to fart and a couple of people laugh, which is the wrong thing to do.  So, Zander decided to put on a farting show for the people in the post office and he thought it was funny.  IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING, I SWEAR.  I know boys will be boys, but I was glad to leave the post office.  I told my sister that my nieces better love their birthday package because Zander embarrassed the holy crap outta me.

I haven't blogged in forever it seems

I haven't blogged in a couple of weeks and the hubby brought it to my attention last night.  Once again he is away for a month, which sucks because he does deploy soon.  For once I don't feel like there is a million things going on at once.  Zander is in preschool now, but I still babysit, which is good.  I am planning the next day that I do not have to babysit and Zander is in school is just going out and going to see a movie and relax.  Life has been great though.  We have been spending a lot of time as a family and hopefully when the hubby comes home we can have a date night.  We can pick orders next month and we are hoping to move from here.  We have lived in Virginia Beach for 5 years, while 6 years for the hubby.  It is time to make our first move hopefully.  I am nervous about moving, I hate moving, but that is the navy life that we live.

Today is it raining, so it is gloomy outside, which makes it gloomy in the house.  I think I have done nothing all day, but school work and watch television.  I need to get somethings done, but you know how it is when the weather is gloomy you just want to have a lazy day.  Which talking about a lazy day.  I was flipping thru TV shows that are on demand for free and I decided to watch the new TLC show Sister Wives.  It wasn't entertaining.  Who wants there husband to be married to 3 women and about to marry a 4th.  The way their house was designed was odd.  It was a regular house, but it was broken up into 3 apartments for each wife.  I do not understand how people can live that type of lifestyle at all.  I am excited though that fall is here because of all the new television series...I know I sound like a dork, but everyone has their favorite television shows that they wanna watch.  I think that is the only good thing about Monday is because thru the week new shows come on, lol other than that I hate Mondays.



I think sometime this week I am going to start on a new layout for my blog.  The one I have now isn't pleasing me anymore.  If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Beginning of September

September started out okay I guess.  The first couple of days are always hard for me because my sisters birthday is September 2 and just think how old she would of been.  That day I held it together and didn't cry, tried no to think about it, but near the end of the day I was in tears.  I had my sister on the phone talking about the memories we had with our oldest sister.  It doesn't seem like it has been almost 13 years since we lost her, I miss her more everyday.  I have realized the pain never goes away it just gets easier to deal with in time.

On a good note the hubby is back and we went on a mini vacation this past weekend.  Nothing fancy and nothing to far from home.  We spent the weekend in Williamsburg, Virginia and my feet are still killing me.  I think we hit every outlet store we found, lol.  I love shopping what can I say.  We got some great deals and we got some of our Christmas shopping done already because he won't be here for Christmas, the first Christmas without him.  But anyways we had a blast as a family, lil man had fun and he didn't want to leave the hotel.  I loved the Yankee Candle store up there, I got to play in snow...yes snow, it snows every 4 minutes in this store and it was cold.  So if you need a place to cool down in the summer, Williamsburg Yankee candle store is the place to go.

Today lil man started preschool, I know it is only preschool, but this is his first year going to preschool ALL day.  I am sitting here bored to death with nothing to do.  Currently I am babysitting for a friend, but in less than a hour she will be gone and I have to grocery shop.  I have been waiting on this day to come, but now I feel empty inside, I am lost without my child or something.  Hopefully I am not the only one that feels this way.  But, for now I have to go and go find things to do around here before I slowly go insane without lil man, lol
