Today we did a lot of shopping again and I found some cute things. My daughter turned me on to some linen pants that have a foldover waist that is all the rage. They truly are the most comfortable thing ever so I hope they wash well. I keep buying my grandson toys and expecting a different result...insanity? I buy them, he loses them....poof....money goes out the window!
It feels like midnight here and it is only just before 9. I truly give myself a big pat on the back that I was a single mom with 4 kids for many years and did not go insane. It is HARD work!!!

Everyone has gone to bed and I am sitting quietly before I call my hubby. Cable was too expensive so they cancelled it yesterday. I have been so out of the loop news wise since I got here. I guess it may be a good thing? I get so mad at what is happening in this Country that it does alleviate some of the stress from things I can not change. I do miss all of my regular night time shows that I haven't gotten to watch. Dancing with the stars, American Idol *even though this season was bad* All of my soaps that I still watch! I am going to have a lot of shows to clear off the DVR!
My son in law had to do a 20 mile walk in the middle of the night last night so he is just now going to bed for the first time since Monday. I really don't know how he does it and still stays sane and still loves playing with his boys....and putting up with Kayce!!! She is a handful:) Tonight was the first time that there weren't 3 women and their kids out on the screen porch visiting all evening. These homes are like duplexes that were built many, many, many, many, many years ago! Dwight Eisenhouer (sp) lived down the street in one of them. Anyway..they all have the cool screen porches and they are kind of close together. They had new neighbors move in tonight and they already put up a privacy screen!!! I don't think that will win them many friends??? Army life is pretty interesting and you definitely have to learn how to make friends easily.
Blessings and hugs to all of my buddies:) Thanks for reading;)
Hey Kay! You are so funny - eating and blogging about feeling sick and that you're going to keep doing it! LOL! I hope you are having a WONDERFUL time, and enjoy the silence that comes with no TV. :)
ReplyDeleteDawn, it is the true definition of insanity...it runs in our family!
ReplyDeleteKay - I felt like a single mom raising my kids because of my husband's crazy retail manager work schedule. Don't you think we made it thru juggling everything because we didn't know any different or have other options? That's my thoughts any way.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think American Idol has gotten better when it got down to the top 5 (all girls). Down to 4 girls now and one more will go home tonight.
Dana, I think it is actually easier when you know it is all up to you, you just do it! I see a lot of waiting for the other one to get it done here. And yes, I didn't know any different!
ReplyDeleteI have all the shows DVR'd and I went online this morning to see who was still on. They are my fav's!
Thanks for commenting:)
Well anyway it sounds like you are having a great time even though it is hectic and you are getting a sugar high tummy. Don't worry and just enjoy this time while you have it. Take care :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny, Kay!! Here, at home, when I forego soemthing that I really want I know that I can have it any other time. However, when I am on vacation, or know that item is not available where I live, I do enjoy while I can. You have the rest of your life to get back on track. Thankfully, you don't live near the "Key Lime Pie" ice cream shop, hu? :) Oh my gosh, I LOVE waffle bowls with my ice cream too! Ok, moving on....
ReplyDeleteShopping, Yatzee, ice cream, spending time with your daugter and grandbabies.... sounds like so much fun!
My sister lived on a marine base with her husband (in Twenty-Nine Palms) for 8 years. She was very social and all the girls on her block were buddies. Some of her very best friends (to this day still) are the girls she met there 22 years ago!! Base life can be hard and lonely at times so she said it made it so much easier to get to know the other gals.
I totally admire and respect you for raising your 4 kids on your own for years. I mean that seriously! Parenting is emotionally and physically draining and it takes a very strong and dedicated women to be able to fill that role by herself. Your kids will NEVER forget what you gave them - even if they don't mention it now. It took me having a teenager to FULLY appreciate and understand my mother. Now I fell like I finally get it!
Great post Kay - thanks for always keepin' it real :)
