Interpretations
Juliet and I were driving back to daycare from morning school when we started playing our I love you game. I'm sure every family has this little game, its the who loves who the most game. I start off by saying "guess what", "what" she replies, "I love you" I say and the she usually goes to "but I love you a bunch of days" and so on and so forth. Well this day she went into all the people she loved and all the people who love her.
she named off all her aunts and uncles but forgot Deborah and Tyler...and so the conversation went as follows
You forgot Aunt Deborah and Uncle Tyler. They love you a bunch of days too.
They do?
Yes they do
Why?
Because they think you are a cutie pie.
At this Juliet starts laughing really hard. I mean knee slappen, can't breath laughing. I find this funny, not unusual as she is like me and starts laughing like this either for no reason or at something very little.
she calms down a little and on a sigh says
Ha, I'm a pie.
It was super cute and brings you back to the thought that kids dont' always know our nickname or terms for things and therefore can be interpreted differently. I love kids!

I love this!
A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to the elementary school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with lightning. The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school and she feared the electrical storm might harm her child.
Full of concern, the mother quickly got into her car and drove along the route to her child's school. As she did she saw her little girl walking along. At each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up, and smile. Another and another flash of lighting followed quickly and with each the little girl would look at the streak of light and s mile. When the mother's car drew up beside the child she lowered the window and called to her
'What are you doing?'
The child a answered
'I am trying to look pretty because God keeps taking my picture.'
May God bless you today and everyday as you face the storms that come your way...

And we're back
We had the most amazing time. We started out Monday night and drove 12 hours to my Mother in Law's house in Southern California, while there we went to a county fair where they had rides, animals and even a sea lion show. It was great. Wednesday we drove 5 hours (it was suppose to be only 4 but got lost....) to Anaheim. We visited with my Brother in Law and my niece for a bit. that was great!
Thursday morning we drove to the beach, it was cold but oh so fun!!!!! I love the beach. Juliet liked it as well which is good for a while there she had a slight fear of the water. But then it was off to Disneyland. 3 Fun fill days of sensory overload!
I will go into details when I have all my pictures downloaded. But there was a lot of rides, a lot of walking, a few meltdowns, a wheelchair, princess overload and the task of getting Deborah's picture taken. :).
Like I said more on those things when I have pics but needless to say it was soo much fun and can't wait to do it again!

ok people
lets get to it. I have 3 and a half days until I get to see my hubby. I miss him so much I can't barely stand it. I got angry today because he is visiting his mom today, he got to visit her about two weeks ago and we are going to go visit her on our way to Disneyland next week. I found myself very jealous with the little devil me yelling in my ear about how unfair it is that she would get to see him so many times while I'm over here so terribly lonely sometimes I cry myself to sleep....but then I calmed down and heard the little angel me whisper but she only gets to see him once every few years so let her have her time. its still a hard pill to swallow! I'm deeply grateful that Jason has a job and that he is doing well in it but I hate that he has to be away from us and I hate how I have to carry the burden of being both parents while he's gone. I'm sure he doesn't' like feeling like a visitor in his own home or not being able to see Juliet's face everyday (which sometimes is the ONLY thing that gets me through the day!)...but still that's how I feel and its hard for me to calm down and see the good in it. But I must so I do.
Now some more good... we only have 5 and half days until we hit Disneyland! I love it there and the whole family is going. I'm soo excited! its is going to be Juliet, Eric and Tyler's first time there and I can't wait to see how they like it. I can't wait for the smells and familiar shops to visit, the waits in line and the rides that are soo worth it. The hot afternoons and fun cool evenings. I can't wait for the 'I'm so tired I can't possibly go anymore....but have to for the sake of Disneyland' mode, the churros and overpriced candy, the characters and photo ops, the new things and the nostalgic, the fun and the fatigue, the absolute wash of spending three days not worrying about life outside the magic kingdom. No bills, or work, no friends issues or car troubles, no schedule to keep or dishes to do....just three days of pure, exhausting fun!
I'm soo excited!

My sister tagged me, so here we go. Just a few interesting things you might or might not have known about me. :) Enjoy
1) I have: only two more weeks until I see Jason and go to Disneyland with the fam…oh happy days!
2) My greatest desire in life: is to start a cake deco business.
3) When I was a kid I was obsessed with: He-man and spiders. Not so much anymore thank you.
4) My arms: are the size of my head…seriously I think I can almost fly with these wings. Haha. But I’m working on them.
5) I believe: people are bound to make some big and small mistakes but they could really save themselves some heartache and trouble if they would watch and listen to those around them.
6) Three years ago I: was getting ready for Juliet’s 1st Birthday. Man how the time flies!
7) One of my all time favorite movies: Hairspray the remake. I love the songs and the dancing and the overall message. Of course I love Romeo and Juliet (all versions).
8) I'm obsessed with: Making cakes. It’s a sickness. :) and getting my weight down! Um…does anyone else see the oxymoron?
9) I would love to: Be financially happy. We are stable now……close to the brink, but can pay our bills. I would love to have some savings or something!
10) When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to be: an actress, I’ve always loved the movies and Broadway. For years I dreamed of it. Occasionally still do, but I have too much responsibility now and I don’t think the talent was ever there.
11) I am: Hopeful…well today anyway, that one of these days one of my dreams will come true.
12) I have been: working really hard at making my cakes.
13) Last night I: Went to a cake deco class and was very pleased with my work. I can really do this!
14) If I were ambitious: I’d be an actress. :)
15) I love: My family….my sibs and parents and all who are attached to them. I love my family, Jason and Juliet and whoever might come next, if any. I love that no matter what we will always be together and love each other...and to have that comfort and that knowledge gets me through a lot!
16) I read books like: I breathe. It’s a constant in my life. To see someone who can not read is like the biggest tragedy I believe there can be. It makes me sad and grateful for the chances I have and can have because of it.
17) I love to: laugh! Its one of my favorite things in this world. It doesn’t cost any money, you can take it anywhere, you don’t even have to have anything to trigger it…..just do it and your mood will get ten times better.
18) I hate: ignorance…but I think we all have times or things we are ignorant about. I think I hate when someone has been shown the correct way or thing and they still hold fast to their stupidity and ignorance…what a waste!
19) I blush a lot and it kind of drives me crazy. <- I’m with you. I do to and it makes for some awkward situations!
20) I don't like: know it alls….they drive me nuts and make my head hurt from all the eye rolling I do around them!
21) I've worked at: a gas station, the Disney Store (my favorite), a maternity clothing store, United Blood Services and the state of Nevada (with in the state I have worked as a phone operator, records clerk, and an administrative assistant in two departments)
22) I was born: in Alaska, I remember some of it and miss it on occasion.
23) I'll be: in Disneyland in TWO WEEKS!!! Yay!! <- me too! See you there!
24) I am addicted: water, supernatural, Jason and Juliet, cakes and exercising!
25) I have: a very strong will (border line obstructive) and a love for my family that could move mountains if need be.
Now I'm tagging anyone who reads my blog (Deborah's already done it. :) ). come on its fun and it gives you something to post!
Have fun!
