{key} ka' bug

Have you ever just wanted

to talk? Talk about stuff, things

that bother you but you don't

have anyone to talk to? And

really you had quite a few

people to talk to? Yeah it

confuses me too. See here

is the thing i have some stuff

on my chest but if i say it

out load I don't know what

kind of advice I'll get back

because i don't really want

to hear negative things but I

totally want someone to agree

with me and give some super

advice. I'm looking for some

exuberant wisdom, something

so dynamic that it will change

my life. Then the realness of

it all kind of kicks in like.....

duh you know that's not going

to happen like that so just deal.

I then look to who i have to talk

to and i just don't feel like hearing

oh no! not my husband because

he would never do that and

he's so in tune to his feminine side

that he blah blah blah. YAY for your

perfect life! And that's jealousy and

envy kicking in right there and i know

that that's two of the deadly sins.

UGH.... So any advice?!?! LOL

Theresa-

Omg today was filled with so many disasters!!!

But for some reason I didn't let it bother me

I'm so proud of myself!

So first D put the trash out this morning

and the seagulls got to it so i had to pick

up really nasty trash which my neighbor

came to tell me about. Then right

before i headed over to the community

center to teach my scrapbook class

i looked in the refrigerator and a Dr. pepper

exploded all of over the freezer. And lastly

i slammed my finger shut in the car door....

Ouch is not even the adjective that I would

use to describe it. My thumb is all nasty and

bleeding and it hurts to boot! But for some

reason I'm still happy I'm not in a bad mood at all.

In fact the whole car ride home i was laughing

hysterically because D was there cracking jokes

and being his crazy self. The kids were in the back

just keeping up the laughter. I love my crazy life

and my family is wonderful! God is so good

and I feel so blessed to be alive and be in my

skin.

How did you celebrate independence day?

Unfortunately here in the great state of NY

fire works are illegal so there weren't any booming

or colorful events here unless you count the

exploding beans! LOL Yes folks my baked beans

exploded! Apparently someone turned the burner

on that the casserole dish sat on and it got too

hot and exploded all over every thing. Fortunately

no one was hurt during this mishap but it was

Hilarious and i heard about it all nite. Since we are so

far from home all the neighbors in our building with

a few other friends celebrated through food and fellowship.

We ended up barbecuing

which was very interesting since it was raining! it didn't feel like

the 4th of July at all but i did have a good time with new

friends that i hope become very old ones.

When living in military community

you are pressured to reach out to find new friends,

but some times you are

lucky enough to find a new edition to your family.

God bless the USA and our troops!

Out door fun!

Today D took me and the kids fishing!

The three kids seemed to have a blast

I on the other hand really was just along

for the ride. I did enjoy watching them

explore and learn how to cast their lines.

D really did get a kick out of teaching them.

I think maybe it's a fathers joy maybe it's

something like when i let them scrapbook.

I feel so proud to see how creative the girls

can be :). Little D caught a fish he was so proud

and I think Daddy was even prouder. As I'm typing

he's in MY KITCHEN cleaning it........OMG he's

running the garbage disposal. Note to all if he

doesn't really do a good job of cleaning he's dead!

I guess they are going to eat the fish.....i can't do it!

So with all that said today was a pretty good day, even though the

house is a wreck! But I did get some good pictures

and we made some ever lasting memories that we

can hold on to for a life time and that's what life

is all about.....right?!?!

The eventful life of an army wife!

D finally got orders for his deployment

he will be leaving in the middle of September.....CRUD!

I knew that he was going but now officially it's really going

to happen and it's a 15 month tour.

To top the week off we got news about housing

drum ROOOOOLLLL.......when we lose our lease

we will be paying $1150.00 per month and we'll have to

pay at the minimum $300.00 for bills. Our housing allowance

is $966.00 and the numbers just don't add up!

I'm not sure what's going to be in store for us.

This is the life that we live though, there are going to be

some hungry poor families around here. Other than that

I'm good. By the way I'm dropping out of the scrap booker of

the year contest. When i wanted to do it I didn't account for

real life i was just excited about doing it all lol.

Oh well there is always next year!

Some times I think I've been robed.......not of material possessions

but of knowledge of simple things like music.

I've been hearing bits and pieces of different types of

music and I'm really loving the different sounds

of the not so typical type of music that I would litsen to.

The only problem is that i have NO CLUE who

sings it :(. There is a Kay jewelery commercial that plays and

I really love the song so if there is anyone out there who's reading

this and you know the song please tell me.

It's the commercial where she's sleep and her husband

puts a pendant around her neck and she wakes to find it......

such a sweet commercial and song. So if you know please

let me know.

Thanks!!!!!

Truly as a military wife your more involved in getting things done in your husbands career whether you want to or not. Today I had to go and take care of some pretty important things that I personally have no clue about for my brave soldier.......

I only wish I did it with joy in my heart! LOL I do love that man but today i was doing errands with glass stuck in my foot. The army waits for no one! I'm going to have to make an appointment to go to the Dr. to get it removed. No I'm not so weak that i can't remove it myself it's just that i think I've walked in pretty deep into my foot! Probably because something more important was going on at the time like keeping the kids out of the glass. None the less my strong man isn't here to kiss my boo boo but, he did send me one through a text message gotta love technology!

He unfortunately is away doing his army thing for the next two weeks i really do miss him a lot. I try to look at this as preparation for the up coming 15 month deployment. I'm not doing so well with that! The Rumor that's spreading doesn't make things easier to deal with. It has been said that it will be much longer than 15 months, try 2 years! But that's just a rumor until you get the paper work. One thing that i have learned is that you don't believe anything until it's in writing and still that could change at a moments notice. So i just keep an open mind with my hear prayerful.

Wow I'm exhausted! Nothing like 5 hours of braiding Chervonne's hair to tire you out!

Good news D FINALLY put the air conditioner in........SWEET!!!!! I'm so tired of being hot......I seriously think I'm allergic to being hot :D Something about being miserable and sweaty that brings out the worst in me!

On to other things...

I thought about working on my entry for SOY competition but that didn't quite work out all that well. I'm such a procrastinator i win first place in that competition LOL! I'm going to complete it though I'm sure of it. I'm committed to getting it done before I start anything else.

Until then here are two of my latest layouts:

I absolutely love this picture of my husband! This is the face that just makes me smile and just love him! I caught the PERFECT shot.....isn't he HANDSOME?!?! YUMMY......LOL

This is me and my sister in law.....OMG she is so dang pretty! I can't believe she's so grown up I feel ancient. When me and D met she was 5 where does the time go?

Well it's been quite a while since I've posted here on my lonely blog.

Sorry LOL. Okay so I'm still not unpacked but I just couldn't wait any longer to scrap so I have done a total of two pages. YAY! Gosh it felt sooo good too. I just had to have my fix.....

Hello my name is Theresa and I'm scrapbook junkie....

I haven't posted them on my blog yet so no your not over looking them. I will do it soon I promise but if you don't see them don't hold it against me.

So I'm not sure how many of you have heard about or are taking on the Scrap booker of the year contest. You can read about it at the creating keepsakes website. So for some unknown reason to man I've decided to enter! I just found out about this a week ago so I've got a late start but I'm going to be ambitious and give it a go. So far I've 2 brand new layouts and 4 layouts that I've done already that I want to enter in all you have to do 20 layouts. So just send me some mojo vibes and prayers. I have a problem with completing things and I'm determined to finish this so we will see.

Well I'm going to watch the movie Bobby with my hubby ttyl.

Not done yet...

In a perfect world i would have been done unpacking my scrap room and would have been creating some mahvelous master piece......

The reality is that unpacking box after box is a real drag and boring is not the word.

The kids playroom is still resembling a storage warehouse, ugh.

I do plan on getting some more unpacking done today I need some type of normalcy already or some magical motivation.

Any body out there in cyberland want to share some?!

So I'm making a goal of getting A LOT done and i don't say getting it all done because i don't want to fail, LOL.

I'm so focused on my goal can't you tell?! WOOO HOOO!!!!

YEAH I'M NOT SO CONVINCED EITHER.....

I guess I'll get off of here and try and make an effort to get something other than surfing the net done.

*WISH ME LUCK!!!***
