120 Days until Christmas!

I am excited for Christmas! Of course I am not ready for cold weather, but what can ya do? So summer is over, school starts tomorrow, the boys are excited! Cleaned their rooms and closets and drawers, picked out their clothes and got back packs ready. I have to work tomorrow at 6am :( So Don is going to work late so he can get them off and take pictures for me! 10th,8th,3rd and 2nd grade! Where does time go? We had a fun summer! We spend 5 days on the west side and it was just what we needed! Makes me think about moving back, but I cant, not while the boys are in school. I took them to some of the fun places we went growing up! Like Fort Worden to do the tunnels, the beach, putt putt golfing, Slys donuts, Fat Smittys, and just played games and roasted marshmallows! It was so fun! Work is going good. I got rid of all my nightshifts so I am SO happy about that. I know everyone is sleeping at night but there is something about being away from home at night, so I'm happy about the switch! I am SO excited for thanksgiving! Now, this is not a fav holiday of mine, I don't like the food lol! But this year we are leaving on Tuesday morning and heading to Forks for the week! We are spending it with my family up there, then Friday heading to my dads for Thanksgiving number 2! I just cannot wait! Well I best get ready for work! Tonight is 2-10pm!

Summer days!

I love summer! I love the warm weather, we average about 95 degrees, sometimes higher sometimes a few degrees lower. I love not having a set time to wake up, unless of course I have to get up at 4:30 for work. I love not having a schedule, just coming and going or just laying around at home. We normally spend most of our time at the pool, and its wonderful! We go to the movies, bowling, west side and always make a trip to Silverwood, but this year the boys would rather do Scarywood in October instead of Silverwood, so I'm excited cause it will be fun! Me and Don seem to get more dates during the summer, dates are so important, not only do you need to take care of your kids, but you have to take care of your marriage. Last night was date night, now normally we go to dinner and grocery shopping haha! Last night we went to the Laundromat LOL and goodwill, another LOL and to Taco Time. So my dryers heating element went out and I had about 4 loads I needed to do to get ready for heading to the west side in 2 days. So we did all the laundry, then I wanted to find some jeans for Parker (don't tell him I went to goodwill lol) he is a size 32x32 now. Don said he loves that I'm a cheap date haha! But we had the best time ever! Just talking, laughing and enjoying each other. He is amazing, I know I say that a lot, but I really mean it. If he died today, I would know exactly how he feels about me, because he tells me and shows me everyday! I get tired of it sometimes if I'm being honest, just overwhelmed I guess because I have never been treated like this before. He is honest, understand, VERY VERY PATIENT lol, hard worker, and just really wonderful! Everyone that knows him loves him! Well brag session over haha! We are going bowling tonight and tomorrow will be full of packing :) Wednesday I have to register the boys for school since they start in 2 weeks. I'm not excited about it, well part of me is ha! I am getting so frustrated! I cannot upload any pictures and its pissing me off ugh!!

Update

Quick update, My bubba turned 9! Can you believe it? He is such a joy, so loving, wonderful and absolutely funny! He always kisses and hugs me and tells me he loves me! He makes me smile ;) Work has been an adjustment. Nights, then days, then nights again. I have been tired and a bit emotional. I hate nights, I miss my family at night so much. Next month isn't as bad, just 5 nights and the rest are days. You know, I find myself consintly saying "hurry up and put your shoes on" "hurry and brush your teeth" "hurry up and get dressed" "hurry and finish eating" hurry, hurry, hurry! Then I stopped and thought, when my men move out and start their own lives, I will long for the days when they were home, and here I am trying to rush them when I want them to stay just how they are. So I will be working on that now, no more rushing, just enjoying every single moment I have with them, whether I am in a hurry or not! My men are my life and I need to just relish in the day with them. Parker passed drivers ed! So November he can get his license! He has to have his permit 6 months! We got him a car, a Honda accord. It will be a good beginner car for him. We start school the 28th, I am not excited about school starting! I like the boys home,even during the fighting! I keep trying to download pictures of Joshua but my laptop wont let me! Ggrr!! The weather has been hot, so we have been at the pool a lot and just enjoying summer. Next week were off to the West side, were going to Lake Sylvia and Fort Warden and Fat Smittys, Saturday we have a family reunion to go to. So we are excited! Well I'm at work and its time to do rounds, only 4 more hours until I can go to bed!!!
