New

So I decided today to start up a blog. I am always sharing stories with friends and family. What a great way to keep up with recent happenings and my thoughts! It took me a while to get it set up the way I wanted, a lot longer than I wanted, haha! And now as I type, my hubby has come in the door from working and is talking nonstop to me so it's hard to keep my train of thought! Gotta love him, at least he missed me!

Today Chase and I slept in to catch up on rest from the busy and fun weekend we had! We had a huge 5th birthday party for him! We decided to go to breakfast at the Waffle House near our house so we rushed getting ready! My hair was all perfect and straight and if you know me this will make or break my day sometimes! We made it to Waffle House in plenty of time before we had to be at his school to leave for the Field Trip. Chase ordered his breakfast on his own, such a big boy! He ended up eating over half a egg omelet with cheese and ham, a sausage patty, a strip of bacon, hashbrowns with ketchup, toast with strawberry jelly and to top it off chocolate milk! Goodness is he growing! He ate more than me! He said eggs have protein and so does every meat so he said he wanted to eat a bunch so he can be strong like daddy! Random things, on the interstate, Chase says, "When I grow up, I want to have a boy, a strong one. But we can't help it, we have what we get in the belly that God puts in there." WOW! So smart buddy! I asked him if he would be ok if he had a girl when he got older and he said he would and he'd love her, but he wouldn't play with her because he doesn't play with girl toys, LOL. Well, we made it to school and hung out while they got AUM ECC shirts on for the Field Trip. Ofcourse it started raining on the way to school :( there goes my perfect hair! I have pretty much figured it out though! I bought these adorable new sandals (Wal-Mart, $9, Don't Hate! LOL) and wore them for the first time on Saturday for Chase's bday party and it rained. Wore them Sunday to church with a cute outfit and it rained. And then again today! So I think wearing those shoes make it rain! And on top of that, they make squishy noises when I walk after they get wet! Anyway, Chase wanted to ride on the bus with the other kids, but there's not enough room and rules are I couldn't go on the bus so he rode with me as planned. (Distraction: Cat is laying on Jerrys leg and needing his knee, haha, and Jerry says, "I'm scared to pet her because if I do she will bring in a dead frog or something, haha, Ok back to blog) On the way, he started getting a little sleepy so I asked him what one of his favorite colors is and he says light red, which is totally random! It's usually blue or orange or burple. So, I tell him lets count all the red cars we see on the way to the boat. We proceeded to count, and ofcourse, he doesn't want to stop until we reach 100! LOL But we made it. We had to park at one of those meters and luckily I actually had some change. And even enough for one of the other mothers! Chase said it was nice of me to help her, cause that's what Jesus would do. :) Then he put the coins in for her :) by now, it is pouring down rain. I have an umbrella and Chase decides he doesn't want to hold his so he goes without it like everyone else, but me because I didn't want to mess up my already frizzy hair anymore, haha. By the time we get to the tunnel, my jeans are wet up to my knees. Then we had to run the kids through pouring rain to get on the boat. And now all the kids and teachers are soaked! As we are sitting eating lunch, we are all trying to stay close together because it's cold in there, we are wet from rain, and theres a vent above our table! What do you know, a girls accidentally spills her ENTIRE cup of Sprite on my thighs! So now my jeans are wet almost up to my hip! AH! Oh well, it was accident, I had to tell her it was ok because she was in tears! Hey, accidents happen, at least it wasn't on my hair to make it frizzy and poofy, oh wait, it already is! HA Head off the bathroom to try to fix it, that won't work and I don't have a hairband so I take a photo in the tiny bathroom (don't ask why) and one with Chase before it gets worse and decide to suck it up and go out on the deck without an umbrella in the sprinkling rain. He loved the outside of the boat, and didn't want to go back in. And ofcourse, as soon as we dock, the rain stops and no more rain the rest of the day! We make it back to the car, and no ticket YAY, because I knew our time on the meter had run out! Chase wants to stay with me until it was time to go back to his mother and stepdad, so we decided to go to the park. Keep in mind, I'm still wet some to my knees and wanted to get in some dry clothes and not so squeaky shoes, but its Chase so I do what makes him happy. The sun comes out just as we reach Vaughn Park! AH! Chase wanted me to play with him nonstop, which I loved except for the fact that my sandals are now giving me blisters and he constantly wants me to play with him where theres sand. So I give up on the shoes and just run around barefoot with rolled up jeans, pulled my hair up, boy was I a sight! HAHA I realize we've been out there for too long in the sun and we are both sweating profusely. We decided to grab a drink and snack at Chappy's, yummy! Where Chase orders a pizza and eats over half then starts on my fruit bowl, goodness! After eating, we headed over to his mothers to meet his stepdad, even though it was rather reluctantly on his part (and mine). I remind him, we get to see him after school tomorrow! He gives me all his toys out of his pockets, haha! I drive off and not even half way down the street, I'm missing him! I decide to run by and play with Destiny for a while. I don't know what came over me, but I decided to take her for a walk. Well, she ended up taking me for a walk! OHHH CRAMP in my side! We make it back in time to cool off and play for a few then I headed home to chill. On the way home, I decided I wanted to try this blogging thing. I took a shower as soon as I get home and about the time I get out, I hear the dogs barking like crazy so I get worried the neighbors big Rottweilers are out again and got in our yard (how hard is it to keep them in your yard, it's the country!) I grab a robe some slippers and head out with a baseball bat just in case, again what a sight I was! Anyway, finally threw on a movie on Netflix instant and work on this. Once Jerry gets done updating me on his day, I tell him about mine and about starting a blog and he says "baby, how do you have time to blog?" I say, "Well, I will just do it when I have time or something funny or interesting to share." Then he says, "Do I need to give you something else to do?" LOL Thanks hun, but No I'm good! You boys keep me busy enough! Enough rambling for the night, I'm off to bed! :) Until next time!
