Time....Time....Time
Wow it's been almost a month since I have blogged and it has been crazier than ever. I swear just when I think I am going to get some down time.....BAM.....more stuff gets piled on my plate.
Let's see....where do I start. It is finally getting warm here...Can you believe it? It's the end of May and we finally have a nice weekend. I don't think that I will ever get used to the weather here. I was still having to wear a sweater to work last week. Usually the sweaters are pushed to the back of the closet by now....gleefully gathering dust. Speaking of dust I started to go through my closet yesterday and FINALLY finished today. I have 4 1/2 bags of clothes to get rid of. It does feel good to have to get rid of clothes because they are too big now. Donte says that we should have a yard sale. I swear that man loves to have a yard sale. I don't much care as long as they are gone....outta my room....outta the house.We also cleaned out the garage yesterday. It only took about an hour. We just don't have much in there anyway. But we had to get the sand swept out from the winter. I swear they must use a ton of salt and sand here because I could have filled a little sandbox with what I took out of the garage.
Work is the same old stuff just a different day no news on that front. I really will miss it when school gets out on the 3rd but hey I am sure that I will find tons to do during the summer. Cleaning out the basement will be #1 on my list. I still have a few boxes that haven't been unpacked.....I HATE unpacking. I just read Angies blog and she has 4 boys, did the move without her hubby and has everything unpacked and in it's place......YOUR MY HERO ANGIE.....wanna come lend a hand?
As for the recruiting business......it's going. Donte is doing well but I think both he and I are ready to get back to a post. I miss my girlfriends....true girlfriends, ones that have a common thread with. It's hard to listen to the "My husband has to go to Wisconsin for the weekend...what am I going to do without him" OMG really I am the wrong one to preach to. I have no sympathy for a wife that (GASP) has to find someway to get through 48 hours without her husband when I know people that are just starting a year long deployment that have newborns or pregnant wives that aren't complaining but sucking it up and driving on. I have yet to forge the bonds that have become a life line in the past here. I guess I just don't have that much in common with the ladies around here. Don't get me wrong I have met a handful of wonderful people that I say hello to and speak with on occasion....but it's not the same. The other recruiters are mostly single or live in a completely different town. I guess what it all boils down to is just having genuine people around to share your thoughts with. siiiiiigh whats a girl to do.....hmmmmmmmm.......IM GONNA SUCK IT UP AND DRIVE ON......only 2 more years to go.
The boys are happier than ever to get summer started. I swear they have more energy that any children I have ever come across. Soccer is going great. They both scored goals last week and were happier than ever. They are both still doing great in school and I have to give credit to their teachers. Both teachers are phenomenal. I wish that they could loop with them next year. You know you have the teachers that you remember for a life time....well I am sure that these two will stick with my boys forever. I have been working on their end of year gifts but the truth is that I can never get them anything to adequately thank them for everything that they have done for the boys this year.
My parents are back in GA and are getting settled. It's great to have them back.......even if we are a 14 1/2 hour drive away. I am just glad that they are home on US soil.
Adam and Chrissy are preggo YEAH!!!!!! I couldn't be happier for them. I can't wait to meet my new Niece or Nephew. I have already started buying some baby stuff.....the stuff they have for babies these days is so darn cute.
We also took the boys to the drive in this weekend. They had a double feature the new Indiana Jones and Iron Man were playing. Unfortunately it was cold. We were prepared though we took our mink blankets and sweaters. We ended up turning the seats around in the van and cozying up in there. The boys thought that it was the coolest thing. We hit up Zeds yesterday too. The Brazilian steak house. The boys had never been and we were going to go on Mothers Day weekend but we knew it would be super crowded. Let's just say that all four of us were stuffed. Daniel ate more than I had ever seen him eat. Donnie was pacing himself but ate quite a bit as well.
As for the last few hours of our three day weekend....as soon as Donte gets home we will BBQ and then gear up for the last 6 days of school.
HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE.
