9/11

Is a hard day I would say for most Americans as I would think we all know where we were.   Is it the same for everyone around the world?  I know exactly where I was, I lost a friend that day. He would have been a fabulous dad if he would have been given a chance. So many life's lost, so many families torn apart.

The smoke came into New Jersey and I remember working to help feed families who were distraught not knowing anything but hanging into hope. It was the worse feeling ever. 

Every year when the tributes start and the pictures show up in my newsfeed a tug happens and it's a tug at my heart. I can't stop it even all these years later it still causes a few tears. 

It is true, "we will never forget."

I wear my bracelet proudly to remember and it is a day we must have learned from an to teach the next generation.   I am telling my dwarfs about it and watching the movie because it can never happen again- anywhere.

Oh I can't wait

For the dwarfs to grow up, move out, get good jobs and have a home of their own. 

I mean I can wait but I can't wait to:

Brush my teeth and wipe my toothpaste mouth on the hand towel because by then maybe they will learn to use water to clean face and a towel is to dry. Ha

Or get out of the shower and leave water all over the floor. Yeah I can't wait till its not me cleaning this up. 

Not rinsing the dishes before putting in the dishwasher? Oh I get giddy just thinking about it :-)

Those will be the days!!

Teenager

I am thankful I am not a teenager or a high maintenance adult. I can leave my house without makeup and hair up in a pony tail. Why? I am comfortable being me. 

I can remember the days I had to shower and put makeup on before I would think of leaving the house or anyone seeing me.  Thank god I am not a teenager because it takes HOURS to get ready. No thank you

One day when you get comfortable in your own skin, you too will love it!

What's in a year...

There has been so much happening in one year it's crazy!

Moved into a new house

Flown to the states twice

Gained a dwarf 

The thing I notice the most? Is a wedding wedding from a year ago and how fat I was! Good god why did I ever let it slip that much?  I know it doesn't matter in the long term but that picture will forever be there haha

I wonder of we can get a reshoot just so I can feel better? Lol I know I kid, I kid!

Amazing what 30 lbs off can make you feel like yourself again. The way you were and should be :-)

Mother's Day UK

I had written this whole post how Mother's Day was going to basically suck....

I didn't think I would feel the love or even really be acknowledged even to the furbaby but low and behold my PC did good!

I got a card and caramel treats plus the dwarfs got me a few cards too.  They were very sweet cards and not just the basic cheap ones.

We had a wonderful lunch and a few laughs.

I actually liked Mother's Day this year.

I love being surprised

Kids aren't just for holidays...

Ok the saying here in the UK is, "dogs aren't just for Christmas." This is brilliant! They should come out with a saying for kids. It's not all cute clothes and fun holidays - really it's not.
Teenagers need to stop having kids because they aren't for 16year olds either.

I mean kids are work but more mental work I think. I mean I don't want to cook and do laundry all the time but someone has too. Blah

I get why when moms get a night away all they do is sleep. I want to do that right now.

Example: I don't feel very well but after work I was going to come home and relax.... Yep right after I walk the dog for 45 minutes, start and serve dinner and then wash up. Awwwww now I can relax. You have to laugh right? No

My Prince Charming is amazing when he is home and this allows me to stay in bed some mornings which is amazing. I just wish it was more often.

Now if we had sun and more daylight it would be another story.
