Ok so he really didn't eat it! But he might as well have. I am an over achiever and a classic procrastinator....haha what a combo huh?? LOL I am currently working on silly classes for my Criminal Justice degree. I have my associates but to get my bachelor's I need "educational" classes....science, math, another English and a couple of history classes. I am basically in limbo between a community college and an University! Again thanks to the Army!! LOL But it is all good it has given me plenty of life experience.....On to my story..............
I have been working on my essay for history for two weeks. I finished it yesterday.....all I had to to was type it up and submit it! Well that is until my SON, the MONSTER, child decided it would make a better piece of ART!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I can see some of it but most of it is colored with various colors of marker and crayons not to mention the holes he poked in most of the papers!!! I really wanted to be mad at him but I just couldn't. It is my fault I left the notebook where he could reach it! And you would think after two years I would have learned to keep things HIGH out of his reach!!! So now I have to salvage what I can and redo the rest.
On another note............I talked to my honey today.....a much better conversation. Even so far away he knows my moods........**sigh** I love that guy! Our daughters call him their Prince Charming!! or Big Poppa...(we have no idea where it came from......but it is hilarious, especially if you have ever seen my husband!!! LOL) He is kind of a Prince Charming, well except the shining armor has been replaced with ACU patterned armor, he carries a semi automatic rifle instead of sword and his trusty stead is an up armored humvee!! I can picture him in my mind all decked out in his serious Army guy suit and it makes me laugh. The best picture of him, in my mind, is him at the beach, while we were in Hawaii.......Laying back on a lounge chair, in swim trunks and a smile...............not a worry in the world. Oh good times!!!
We have decided that a family trip, once a year, is what we are going to do for our "big" Christmas thing. While the kids do not understand it now, eventually they will. Our three kids are so spoiled...they have everything they could possibly want or need. We think that we need to show them what family is. While there may not be a Hawaii trip every year, we are going to take time to go somewhere, just the 5 of us. No computer, no phones, and as few distractions as possible. The week we spent in Hawaii was absolutely AMAZING. No one could call, our phones were off. No laptop to distract anyone and no cable TV. 6 days of just us........awe the memories.
The holiday season will be a little bit lonely but we will get through it all.....Hopefully the weather will cooperated here in Colorado and the kids and I can go to Breckenridge for Thanksgiving. Not sure what the plans will be for Christmas. I have an idea but not sure how far I want to take it.
Now to get ready for the FRG meeting tonight...we are getting ready to stuff goody bags for our Soldiers in Afghanistan. Then it is home for baths maybe a little bit of TV and of course the ever present homework.......
