I Should Be In Bed...
23 March 2014
There is no more truer statement being made at this time.
However, I am here. Awake. Watching Jeopardy and eating sunflower seed. Writing to you.
I was unaware that it had been nearly 6 months+ that I had been on here! Well, that is just unacceptable. What can I say, though? I just started (about 3 weeks ago) a job working full-time... and let's face it... that takes some getting used to when you (meaning ME) haven't worked much at all in the last 5 years!! I have been very fortunate to have stayed home with my kiddos for as long as I did, but I am beyond thankful that I have been given the opportunities I have in the last six months. I have met some amazing people and learned that I am more than I have given myself credit for! Also, and more importantly, I have realized how much support and love I have standing behind me on a daily basis. My mom and dad... always attempting to convince me that I have more potential than I put forth (previously, obviously). My friends and neighbors in this wretched place who have helped to make sure our children don't kill themselves (and especially each other!). Most surprisingly...
My husband. Words don't do him justice. I always thought he maybe could not survive raising our three boys without me. This was probably maybe even a little bit of ego talking. Ha! However, though I know they still need me around to do laundry and tedious housework that they still can't do to my seemingly OCD(ish) standards, he and the boys have really stepped up in a way I never anticipated. I regularly come home to clean dishes and a clean kitchen, bathed children, and the occasional shampooed carpets. Hubby and children alike have given me the confidence I have needed in order to hold down a full-time position again, and I have never been so happy to be a supervisor/friend/wife/mom/student/etc... I am finally... at the age of 31... figuring out who I am and who I can be!
Simply put....
LIFE IS GOOD!!!!
Here are some pics of us from recent goings on :)

This one is for you, Papaw! Trey comparing his BIG (size 12!!) feet to John Wayne's little boot prints in Hollywood.
Me with some of the most amazing ladies I have ever met!
The greatest soldier, husband, and father I could ever have imagined.
