It's been awhile

Wow I haven't blogged in forever and a day....of course I'm blogging now because I have been left alone with my thoughts....as we all know that is never a totally safe thing...Wow there has been so much going on...I hardly know where to start. Ok.....let's see....Well, BigDaddy has been working out of town for a while now...I think a month....um....yeah I think a month. Anywho...that sux and I mean I love my man for being one of those men who provides for his family, and well....I just miss him like crazy! We've been making the best of it...he come's home on weekends, so we are alot luckier than some husbands and wives....(may the gods bless all the soldiers and their families)....It's hard when your husband is your best friend...not because you have no friends.....just because you prefer him to almost any other human being on the planet! So this week BigDaddy didn't even get to come home for the weekend....his big boss informed his foreman that they were to stay there until the job was done...so hopefully..... he will be home next weekend.

Shy has been a joy as always....she is going through this new phase though....everything is a question or is meant to be questioned....EVERYTHING....and I do mean everything....true examples from the last couple of days....
Shy:"Mom what are you doing?"
Mom:"Reading my magazine, did you need something?"
Shy:"No I was just wandering what you were doing in here by yourself."
Mom:"Ok well, now you know. Did you want to come get a book and read with me?"
Shy:"Yeah...mom what is this for (lifting up a perfume bottle)?"
Mom:"It's so I smell good." (mom goes back to reading)
Shy:"How do they make it?"
Mom:"I don't know remind me later and we'll google it!" (mom goes back to reading)
Shy:"What is this?"
Mom:(looking up from her magazine again)"It's make-up."
Shy:"This is make-up....What kind of make-up?"
Mom:"It's foundation I put it on before anything else to make my skin look good."
Shy:"Why?"
Mom:"I guess I just want to look my best."
Shy:"Why?"
Mom:"I don't know I guess I'm vain."

Now keep in mind by this time I'm really just wanting to get back to my reading, so I make the mistake of answering a question with a word my daughter may or may not understand hence my mistake....I left the door open to yet another question....I will spare you the rest of this conversation just know I have yet to finish reading that article, and the conversation lasted at least another 20 mins.

I dropped her off with her dad today...I've called her once since I dropped her off, but I've been dying to talk to her all day....silly mom! Though the quiet is nice....I totally miss my girl like crazy!


Finally me....I'm doing great I'm missing my family, but I'm totally not taking them for granted either, absence has that effect! I am packing....still....not as aggressively as I once was, but I am still pluggin away at it....I cannot wait to be done with the move settled in and enjoying our new house....well new to us!! we still have a ton of stuff to do before the move actually takes place....and it looks like BigDaddy will be out of town working....again during the move, but once it is all done....the complete and utter joy of it all being done will wash over me like waves of absolute satisfaction! I'm pretty excited! Shy has camp in July...Girl Scout that is....volley-ball camp was earlier this month...I took some awesome pics that I can't wait to scrap....after the move....my scrap supplies are all packed away....for now....after the move I will have an entire scrap room....not just a space or an area....an entire room....color me tickled pink! Anywho...so this year at G.S. camp Shy will be going by herself....it will be the first time she's been to overnight camp....I am a little freaked out, but being an admitted overly protected and overbearing mother I think it will be good for her....and me....a reluctant me, but yes me as well. We also have Shy's birthday and Mall madness the same day....Shy's birthday theme will be flip-flop's this year....I have all kinds of flip-flop related arts and crafts and giveaways....all to be done while were locked in the mall!! I'm really excited last year at mall madness, we discovered it was the perfect opportunity to get an entire new school and fall wardrobe....the sales are incredible...they get to get rid of stock and we get to cash in....most of the clothes are fall, or summer....but I think that's perfect...we usually buy everything a bit big and Shy is still wearing this summer clothes we bought her at mall madness last summer....Of course their will also be the crafts projects I have for the girls to do and cake....I am nixing the ice-cream, but I am planning of having a 3 tierd....wedding cake style cake...should be fabulous!


Well I think that pretty much catches everyone up on all our going's on....we'll talk to you all soon...Blessed BE!
