Just because I'm family...

Just because I'm family does NOT mean that:

1. You can walk all over me.

2. Expect me to be at your beck and call when I'm on VACATION.

3. I am willing to help but a "Please" and "Thank you" are ALWAYS welcome.

4. Even though I love you it doesn't mean that I will agree with you or want to do things your way.

I love my family dearly but sometimes I feel like I am being taken for granted. As much as I want to please them, I'd rather be happy. I know that sometimes family needs help and I am willing to give in what I can.. but when I'm the only one, or one of the few, in a HUGE family like mine it makes me upset. Why can't life be all rainbows and butterflies?

But on the upside.. I have to say that I have some of the most AMAZING sisters anyone could ask for, and I'm sure right about now they are feeling just as "used" as I am. At least we're in it together.

Working on things

Well life has been pretty hectic lately. Even though I don't have a job, which I'm thinking it's about time to get one, I've been running around like crazy! Between going from CO to AZ and back and getting Mike ready to go train some cadets, I feel like I've been working a job.

Before Mike's company left they had a Company BBQ that was fun. It was a time to meet some of the people he works with. They had a dessert contest which I applied for. I made Ranger Pops.

My sister gave me a great idea that you bake a cake and roll it into little balls, dip them in chocolate and decorate however you want. I had a lot of fun doing them, unfortunately they didn't last long in the 95 degree weather we were having that day. SO they became a melted mess. And above all the dessert that one was RICE CRISPY TREATS!!! Now I couldn't be wrong on this but can't 3 year olds make those? I mean come on! Oh well, at least I know what to make for the next one.

I've been thinking that I want to home make my gifts for christmas this year, but I am not sure what I am going to do. We'll have to wait and see! I'll try to keep that posted as well

Roller Coasters of Emotion = NO FUN

So obviously I've been a bit neglectful when it came to keeping up with this. I had a couple issues, but we'll see soon what plays out with them. This last week has been happy and sad, a definite roller coaster of emotion. I have been trying to deal with them on the "inside" but now I'm writing them down. For no other reason than to have it out there and make myself feel better. And NOT like I'm carrying a heavy burden.

SO... it started when Jade decided that she would down a bottle of perscription strength anti-inflammatories. Oh yeah I need to mention that they are for humans and not dogs. So after over a week of vommitting, vet visits, hundreds of dollars and trying to shove 10 pills a day down her throat, she is still puking on occasion, and now she's developed swollen lymph nodes under her jaw line. Please shoot me in the foot now with the bills I will now, in addition to the one's before, have coming after seeing the vet later today!

The upside of the week last week was that it was 24th birthday! Mike bought me some AH MAZIN' cowboy boots and we had a little get together with friends the Saturday before my birthday. It was so much fun, we ate, drank, and played Rock Band through the night. I'm a simple girl I guess, just give me Rock Band and food and I'll be happy for a lifetime.

As much as I hate all the little things that make me feel like I can't catch a break there are may others that make me feel like a million bucks! I guess I just need to keep track of the good times, forget all the bad, and live like a rock star:)

A day in my shoes

Well today was my first day blogging... well trying to figure things out. But it's not like I spend too much time away from the computer anyways. Posted are some pictures of what happens to me when I spend too much time..

Her name is Jade and she makes sure that I spend an equal amount of time with her as I do on the computer. I love her lots and she is the main reason why I 1. don't have a job and 2. can handle my husband being in the military!

Testing the new signaute :)

What's this?

So this is day one of my new blog... I am not sure if I'll get the hang of it, or even continue to do it. BUT it's something new and I need some of that in my life.

I know that this is a pretty plain and boring blog, but I am hoping to get the hang of it and figure out how to implement a ENGLISH template soon. For some reason I can figure out how to do a spanish one but I can't read it when is uploaded. I guess it's just another thing in life that doesn't come easy.

Please bear with me until I do figure this out!

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It Goes On.
