Really I love all the Fall holidays, so I am a happy girl from October through the end of December. And what's not to love? Quality family time and lots of good food.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus in you.
What exactly does it mean to pray without ceasing? It's funny, I was talking to my crazies about this the other day. I am always telling them to pray for stuff, from lost socks, to meets, to good weather.

Kind of feels wrong if you ask me! As Bookie puts it, we are having a Blue Christmas because when you look up all you see is blue sky. I guess they are too young to remember when we lived in Florida, it was disturbing to see lights on palm trees. Flip flops and sundresses!

Pretty much anything that is outside of my regular routine, I can't seem to establish any sort of habit to make it permanent. Take vitamins? Sure, for about a week or two, then I forget. I can put them out on the counter, next to my cereal, doesn't matter. Flossing?

I started to write 3 days ago, and couldn't get past the first sentence. I try to be witty and concise all at the same time, and sometimes it's an epic fail!
We managed to get through another busy weekend, it was Christmas parties galore! Any excuse to dress up works for me.

I am not a huge fan of going 90 mph. And don't ask me to explain why I do the things I do, I have no clue! Jam packed weekends are so much fun... Ok, not really. This weekend consisted of Friday: Volunteering in the morning, and then set up for my boys school's Santa Breakfast, then I hosted a cookie exchange!

He has only been on team since June, and in gymnastics for a little over a year now, and while I think he is good (Mom bias here!) I am sure he could do better! He goes to practice twice a week for 3 hours at a time, and they work on their 6 different routines.

We spent ours in a whirlwind of turkey, ham, and stuffing. Pies, cookies, and my personal favorite, a Gingerbread Pumpkin Trifle! Being surrounded by friends made it even better. Being military makes it hard to get together with our families, so having friends we can spend the day with helps a lot.

My oldest is going to turn 10 in less than a month, and frankly that makes me feel old. I used to refer to him as Tj, or Train Junkie, but now his interests have turned to other things. Video games, Nerf guns, and reading. The last one makes me really happy, he loves to read, maybe I should start referring to him on here as Posh Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03375912031368133337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319642479286766682.post-31384133395892955102013-11-21T13:53:00.002-05:002013-11-21T13:53:38.005-05:00Years Later I thought long and hard about whether I should ever blog here again, I do have another one, but it's a Pinterest food blog.

Things have been crazy as usual around here. Although I think that if everything was calm and stress free, I would worry! TJ has graduated from Kindergarten and will be a big 1st grader come Fall.

And while he is still my littlest in size, his taste is growing up quite nicely. He loves Transformers so that became the obvious theme. Then came choosing a cake. Little Guy is much more sure of my talents in the decorating area then I am. Some of the cake designs he was looking at were so over the top, they made me want to curl up in the corner Posh Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03375912031368133337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319642479286766682.post-56912438016242168242010-02-16T12:46:00.003-05:002010-02-16T13:02:57.562-05:00More Then Meets The Eye....So far, I have spent this morning cleaning. And you would think that as much time as I spend picking up, and cleaning, this house would be spotless! But I guess when you have 3 kiddos who are still learning the fine art of cleaning up after themselves, thats not going to happen anytime soon!This week I have been pretty busy, and its only Tuesday.

If I was going to be on Food Network, and someday I will be! I would be talking about this dish....Smoked Mozzerella and Sundried Tomato Risotto, with Panseared Flank Steak. This was AMAZING! Seriously. The flavor was right on. I didn't have any shallots on hand, so I used red onion.

I blog regularly for a while, get busy, forget, feel bad and come back and start the cycle all over again. I can't seem to find a groove. Honestly I don't think I am bumming anyone out by not being here, anymore then someone being elated when I do write! Why the heck do I keep coming back then? I like to write.

Right now, I do. Simply because I would bring someone in to clean the entire house, top to bottom. And then I would hire a nanny to relieve me once a week so I could recoup. Let's face it, I need a break. Although I suppose if we were wealthy, then the Hubster wouldn't be in the Navy, thus he would not be in Iraq right now, and I would have Posh Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03375912031368133337noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5319642479286766682.post-64539414928045576522009-10-26T10:40:00.002-05:002009-10-26T12:59:29.473-05:00A Little Bit Of CrazyI come by my anxiety honestly. My mom is an Olympic worrier. I have to fight with myself to not imagine the worst. So you can imagine what being the wife of someone deployed to Iraq is doing to me. I rarely watch the news. I read chick lit, and watch only funny movies. Last night I was checking my email and saw a article on yahoo about a bombing in Baghdad. Stupid me, I went and read it.
