MEOW MEOW and JACK
So we are now down to 2 animals. Meow Meow (my daughter fondly named our cat Tinker Bell, but I can't stand Paris Hilton so we all refer to this feline as Meow Meow) had kittens, 4 to be exact. A little back story on Meow Meow: We had a lovely dog Waldo that was very unhappy with our new home so we had to give him to a friend. Needless to say Raegen was devastated. Mike promised to get her a kitty. I am not a big fan of cats, but Mike and I both have a horrible habit of pleasing our children way too much. I reminded Mike that this cat was his responsibility. Litter box, shots, spayed....Well, I clean the litter box and obviously she wasn't spayed. Kitty got knocked up! The kitties went to SPCA and Meow Meow is now a lovely, much more calm kitty.
So how did we get another dog you ask? Raegen gave me a daily guilt trip which included crying for giving her beloved dog away. So off to find Jack our bug. He is a good dog and pretty darn ugly, umm, I mean cute!

Pulling Weeds
As I sit here at work stealing some free time for myself I can't help but wonder what my kiddos are up to. Granted by Mid morning Sunday I am ready for the work week to begin. I have tired from the fighting, the whining, the constant Need of a want. However, come Tuesday I really start to miss my kids. I miss the way they look when they first walk out of their rooms in the morning. They just shuffle around and sweetly cuddle with me for a few moments. During the week I am the one who has to wake them from their dreams at 5:30 am. I get one who pulls her covers over head and another who takes 20 minutes to stretch. It becomes a frantic, mean toned rush to get out the door and to the babysitters and work on time.
I know that my job is important and what it provides to my family is essential, but I sometimes wonder if my other job (the mom one) is taking a backseat and the affects it will have on my kids. I have my moments where I just want to quit my job and take care of my children. I want to take them to school. I want to make them breakfast (something besides a donut or poptart). I want them to have memories of mom growing up, not the babysitter. Will they grow up disconnected from me or resentful of me because I was not home with them? Or will they see what a strong, independent, loving mother they had, one who could love them more than anyone else could and manage a communications work center in the United States Navy all at the same time. I am hoping for the later.
The grass is always greener on the other side, or at least that's what they say. I like to think that on my side, the grass is just fine.....even if their are a few prickies and weeds to pull!

Here is my Bubby having fun at Great Wolf Lodge. I can't believe how big he is getting. That was a great weekend. We went as a family to celebrate Raegen's 6th birthday.

Happy Birthday Mike!
Big Daddy is 33 today! Not much planned in the celebration as i threw him a surprise luau last weekend. It was a good time with good friends! Bree and I had a lovely bike ride, Sharon got her butt kicked in ladder ball and got a priceless video while I got a lovely hangover! All in all it was good and I think Mike was surprised.
The weekend is finally here. Not that it being the weekend makes life any easier. Sat and Sun are the days I play catch up to everything I neglected and ignored during the week (i.e. laundry, cleaning, shopping, kids). My week went by fast now that I am looking back on it, but dang if those days didn't just drag.
Here's to a great weekend!

Starting It Off!
So here it is, my blog. I will try to always make it entertaining to read, but I must admit, my life ain't that entertaining! Raegen and Ben, and many times Mike, do give me a lot to work with and while I don't usually find it humorous, others do! So check back often, but not too often to see what's going on with me!
