Turning "40"

Ok so my birthday is Sat and yes I will be 40! Oh my 40 I can hardly believe it. Just doesn't seem possible. How can I be 40?



Don't get me wrong.....I am very thankful that the Lord has seen fit to give me these years, but the thing is I just don't feel like I should be 40. Does that make any sense to anyone? It's kinda hard to explain. I guess I've just always thought of my self as "the young one" after all I am the "baby" in my family so my older brother and sister are the "old" ones and I'm the baby!!!



My wonderful mother and sister gave me an OH No the BIG "40" party at church last night. It was really nice. I got a lot of nice cards and even one sympathy card (thanks Sherri and Megan), Candles (love those candles) I burn them everyday so I was in need of new ones, couple of gift cards to Pete's (our all time favorite place to hang out on Sunday nights after church), And best of all MONEY!!! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful church family and could not have asked for a better birthday party! Even a 40th one.



Most of you who will read this are still young and haven't made it out of the 20's or 30's yet so you may think I am crazy or yes old but you know what? I am turning 40. It's a coming unless the good Lord decides to call me home before Sat or he comes back and takes us all home and what a wonderful birthday that would be.....so I better get use to being in the 40's club. I have so much to be thankful for, My wonderful family and I have pretty good health (physical not mental). All in all I guess 40 won't be so bad after all.

Will let you know how my big day goes Sat. and what special plans my wonderful husband and children have planned for me....Better be good!

Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend...Last holiday of the summer..Kinda sad. It's almost fall!

Till next time!

6 Things about meme

OH Yeah!!! My first tag!!!! So exciting... Here goes

6 Random things about little ol' me

1. I am the world's worse for being late where ever I go. I can get up earlier each morning but somehow I am still late. How does that happen?

2. Do not like to clean bathrooms. Of course I do it because no one else will but I HATE to clean the shower! I wish they made a self cleaning bathroom. The world would be a better place...

3. I love shoes....What girl doesn't though right? Every time I go shopping I have to have a new pair of shoes. It's to the point that my hubby is saying one more pair and it's off with your head!!

4. I could eat at El Parral everyday....I just love there food and in fact we eat there so much when we walk in by the time we are seated....they have 4 tea's on the table along with dip and chips. Aren't we special??? Not really just don't like to cook!

5. In fact that's my number 5. I really don't like to cook. If I can get out of it anyway I will. The one thing about cooking is a messy kitchen and dishes. Don't like those either. But I do cook. Even though you can't tell it by my kids (they all are skinny), I do make sure they have something to eat everynight for supper as well as breakfast...the most important meal of the day.

6. Last but not least....I'm really liking this blogging thing!!! Not sure what I am doing some of the time but it's really fun learning. I'm finding out you really are never to old to learn.

I did enjoy this as well as reading others. You can really learn a lot about people doing this...

Have fun reading all about me!

My Weekend

Ok I know you all are just dying to here about my weekend Home Alone haha! Actually Justin and I hung out Friday night and that was really cool. I don't get to do that to much with him anymore. Good mother/son time was really a big deal to me.

Then on Sat. I was going to sleep in a little but surprise Julie calls at 7AM (she missed her mommy but that was ok because I missed her to) so I talked with her a while before they started out that morning. Did my normal Sat cleaning then mama and I decided to go shopping. What better way to spend a Sat than to go shopping and actually get to look for me something and not the girls. When we usually go shopping it's all about them but this time it was all about ME!! Well almost, I had to look for my sister something too. Her birthday is Thursday so had to find her a birthday present.

I did find me something but mama said I couldn't have it until my birthday which is not until next Sat. Don't you hate that. You find something you really like and then find out you can't have it right then....But she paid so have to do what mama says....

Then surprising to me they were on there way back home and was back by 5:30 or so. I was glad. I really did miss them...Yes, even Daniel!. After hearing all the funny and not so funny stories (poor Ryan) we were off to eat.

Well, there you go...My glorious weekend home alone has come and gone. Even though it was short I enjoyed my ME time but was really glad to have my family back home all together!!!!



Till next time!!!!

Home Alone

Ok so I'm getting ready to be home alone for the weekend well kinda, Justin will be home but he's hardly ever home when he's home....

So What to do? Get a good sappy movie and my box of tissues and just cry my eyes out all by myself? I could give the house a really good cleaning and throw away stuff while nobody's home so I don't have to hear "Don't throw that a way I want to keep it". NA, that sounds like to much work. I'll wait on that one.

This is just so strange to me because I am never home alone. I always have someone home and usually it's Daniel but he's going with the church to help out on a Mission project which I'm really glad he is going to watch over the girls. I can't go because of work so they were going without either one of us going. That just doesn't happen. Ok call me over protective but I don't send my kids anywhere that I'm not there or daddy's not there. Yes, I know how old they are but there still my babies and I want to be with them where ever they go. They don't care for it to much but that's to bad!!!! A whole other story!!!!

Anyway will let you know what my big weekend plans are later on when I decide.

Movie Night

Hello All, This is my very first post and I am so excited, so here goes,

The girls wanted to go see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 this past weekend. So as always I went to read up on the movie to make sure it was ok to watch. What was so confusing to me was one website I went on said the movie was ok but had some things in it that may not be sutiable for some age kids. Then I go on another site and it talked about how good the movie was and it had some great issues on love, friendships and loyalty. I just wish everyone could have the same views on movies but then again people have different views and opinion's so why should movie critics be any different?. I guess that's what makes the world go round.?

So what to do???? After discussions with the girls we decided to go see the movie. If I didn't like it I explained that we would leave (we have done this before) if I didn't feel the movie was appropiate for us to watch. My sister, Jessica, Julie and myself were off to see the movie. I have to admit the movie was really good. I had my reservations but honestly it was really good. I was not offended by anything in the movie or was I uncomfortable with anything I saw or heard. I actually cried at some parts which is not so unusual for me I cry at sappy commercial's. Anyway, like I said before to each his own opinion but I was really glad we went to see this movie.

My review was a thumb's up!!!!! Not that it matters much but thought I would give it anyway.
