Day one

My parents said the kids were good on the trip down.  As they were traveling through San Diego, Alyssa says are we going to a Padres game?  Then as they got closer to Mexico, she starts saying. "I can't go the Mexico!" Lol. Mom said that every time the GPS said "miles" Alyssa said "why does she keep telling me to smile?"  

I landed here in Tucson today about Noon.  The kids started this morning at 9am and didn't come out to get dry until like 5pm.  We were joined my my cousin and her fiancé and little Kenny.  After some great food and conversation, the crazy weather came.

Tons of thunder and lightening, then heavy winds blowing everything around.  Dirt storm can't even see the house next store.  The phone even got an emergency alert from the National weather service. Now the rains are coming down. 

We are all sitting around in the dark.  Instead of playing board games or cards, we are all on our iPhones or iPads.  Lol.  

Sadly I did hear that due to the lightening my friends family lost pretty much everything they had in the Yarnell fires. The images were frightening and horrible. I am praying for them all constantly.

Letter to My Sister

HI Stacy! Hope Heaven is treating you well.  We sure miss you here on earth.  I am sure you are watching us daily, but just in case you are missing the finer details let me fill you in on your kids.  They, just like me, miss you.  We all wish that tomorrow was a day of celebration not a day of remembrance.  But I guess we should celebrate that you are not in pain anymore and that all three of yours children are being well taken care of. Hey did you hear that I am FINALLY getting married?  You would totally like the guy.  He's so great.  He's a big goofball like me but very loyal, caring and helpful.  He treats us all with respect and has only the best intentions when it comes to the kids.  We will rock this parenting thing together.  These kids will have an additional person to fill them up with love. So what have you missed in the last 5 years?  Unfortunately a lot.  It makes me sad sometimes to remember what t...

Because you need me

Today one of my loyal readers told me that he really needs me to update my blog more often.  He was tired of reading that I am "yellow" and he said that he sees me more as a "Peach".  LOL  I said I don't and probably will never own anything peach, come to think of it I don't even own anything yellow. So here are a few things that crossed my mind today. This morning when I got dressed in my room, I really thought my outfit matched.  Then after further consideration and better light at work I decided that I did not match at all. :-) I used to think that getting my nails done was a waste of money, but I really want to go get pedicure. I wish those belly belts that say they will tone your tummy actually worked, I'd wear it daily. If Nacho was a baby, I think he would never learn how to walk because I love him so much I'd carry him everywhere...but since he's a cat he'd scratch my eyes out if I tried. I miss fried foods. Sometimes I thin...

A trip and a 5k a month?

Can it be done? Of course it can...I already know I can run a 5k so I just have to get off my butt and do it. As for the travel well January and February are booked. April, June, July and August are close behind. So 6 out of 12 is not too shabby for it only being January 9th - half way there. So where should I go? Any suggestion?
