Ready for Summer!

This afternoon I took Gavin to the Dentist and it ONLY cost me $6! So in celebration, we went to Wal-Mart and got some new summer gear for the table, some bubbles, a slip & slide, a watermelon and all the fixin's for hamburgers! Dave's grilling the kids are playing and I am blissfully waiting for my sinus meds to kick in!(..it's never ever been as rough as this year on my sinuses!)

sighs of frustration and relief...

This time of year is the absolutely most stressful time of the year for me. I would take the pressures of Christmas Shopping and cooking for the entire clan, over spring any day!

My summer programming starts on June 6th. I have 4 movies under the Stars for the summer, one each month. I had the SCARE of the century this week when at one point I was about to be tasked with having to do the fireworks by myself for the City/County with TWO months notice! On top of it all I have been hiring teen-agers, fighting for raises for my returning staff, spring cleaning my office...I just feel so stinking UNSETTLED.

Which brings me to my personal life. (Which is full of contradictions) Things have been going so well now that Dave has moved in with us. It's been amazing to be a team, to share our lives on a daily basis, to give my children honest to goodness FAMILY for the first time in their lives...

soooo let's randomly flashback: (think wayne's world dodoolallooo)


On April 15th Dave and I celebrated 6 years together, in Vegas, and we fought several times over the trip...it was the classic: "man not asking for directions" type stuff...literally. I have a strange since of direction. I go somewhere and for the most part I can remember every detail about how to get back there. Yea, I ain't the "I told you so" type but there were points that I was stinking about to LOSE it. LOL It was so bad, because he couldn't admit that he was wrong, that I told him I wished I had stayed home. I was very disappointed because we usually do so well together, home or away. We DID win $600 bucks right off the bat and we agreed to use that money to play with, it was a blast...to take pictures, explore, shop AND WIN! :o) I was secretly hoping that Dave would make a move toward commitment during the trip, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.

On May 12th, the Anniversary of my 1st marriage I was reflecting a bit and I know that it was on the forefront of both mine and David's minds...we were sitting on the couch and I facebooked him a little message:


10 years ago today...I made a HUGE mistake and married Clayton "Asshole" Brumley...

I have to say, honestly say, that I am SOOOO glad that it didn't work out! I appreciate you more and more any more every day and even though I bust your chops all the time about marriage. I would much rather be happily unmarried to you than unhappily married to him.

You mean the world to me, and I need YOU to know that. I should do better to show you that every day, but it's there, in the forefront of my mind each and every day even if I am not the best at showing it.

I love you.


Needless to say...I am a paradox of emotions...

Back in the saddle again!

Howdy Folks!

After our failed attempt a year ago...I am back on the blogging wagon! I am excited. I missed writing so much! When I have more time I will compile a "year in review"...

wan na na jack bandit!

OK, as it turns out when Ashley and I were talking about doing this again, I already HAD a blog spot I had even fitted it out with pac-man!

I am now following two of you and we need to get kellie and heather on board, but for some reason it won't let me comment on anyone's blog. So, I will comment here and then I will do a catch up blog tomorrow!

Ash: you brainwashed that poor baby into saying mamma lol! jk!

Michelle: What a year you had! Congrats on the ann.! Way to go for fighting for the wee one! I too want more pics. Yey for relatively decent health...and for new dogs. BUT my dear friend YOUR kirby doesn't hold a candle to MY new machine! A margaritaville machine! It amazes me and it's almost an orgasmic thing to turn that baby on! bwaa haa haa


Talk to you two tomorrow!

Here goes...well, nothing

So, Following in my dear Aunt Amy's footsteps...I am bloggin' along with her! This is my first blog here...so it's more of a "test run" rather than actual information...

Let's see what this puppy can do!!!
