Halloween 2009

Wow, I have totally lagged it haven't I. Sorry folks,but the happenings of my life just aren't that exciting,and the REALLY exciting stuff I wont write in a public blog anyway.LOLOLOLOL!!!

Anyhoo,
Halloween was on a Saturday this year.I always have such a hard time getting home from work to take Jr out before all the good candy is gone,but not this year.Junior and I had all day together.It was very relaxing.

We headed out to the church for some trucker treating and it was quite nice. The dinner was simple yet yummy,and all the kids had fun getting all that candy.
We then headed out to Uncle Adams to go trick or treating with the "big" boys,but when we got there the boys decided they just wanted to go to haunted houses. Jr was not big on that idea and so I took him around their neighborhood to get some more candy before heading home.
All and all it was nice just being together.

Family Reunion minus 9

We just got back from a mini reunion. I say Mini ,because we were missing a big chunk of the group. We thought of them always! I ]know I missed them all!!!!
My dad has a timeshare in San Juan Capistrano. It was so nice. Jr and I had a blast.But missed Harvey SOOO much.

The first day we just settled in went to the pool and jacuzzi to soak our bones.
That we all got together and played "Wacko Six"(dont ask it's hard to explain)and played pool. I totally sucked! But we had a blast just being together. On Friday we woke and headed to go "GEOCATCHING". It's basically a treasure hunt hosted on the internet. You have to follow the Longitude etc to find this object that has been hidden. We found 2 out of three. Here are some photos from that experience.

*excuse the side ways photos*
Jr was begging me to go to the beach.So on Saturday I fulfilled my promise. As soon as we woke we headed across the street to the beach.Later we all went(except dad because he was sore from "GEOCATCHING")to a bunch of thrift stores that Amy knew about.i found some cute stuff for Jr and myself.Then we headed to San Clemente and walked the pier.That was so Pretty and tons of fun.

I have to say that overall it was really fun. I NEVER get a vacation and to get to spend time with my family was a plus. There was a lot of talk about definatly doing it again and I really hope that all my the family will make it next time.because it wasn't the same without them!!! XOXO

Stay Tuned -UTAH

Stay tuned....I will blog about UTAh when my dad gives me more photos from the trip!

Jr is off to Utah with his Grandpa and Amy. My dad is being very thoughtful and giving me regular updates. This is one of the few pictures I have received so far.My dad plans on making a book for Jr showing all the different places he traveled. When they get to Utah,Jr will have the opportunity to visit and stay with his Uncle Jared & Aunt Coralee, Cousin Anthony & Sam. Now I know that jr will have a blast the next 5 days that he is away & enjoy hanging out with his Utah family. I am in no way worried about him, its me I worry about. I have indured a lot in life some at my own hand,and When i had Jr, I put a magic "Tough Hat" on and pushed through. I got through things I never imagined I could indure without falling off the deep end. I know in my heart that it has a lot to do with Jr. I wonder if I would have the strenght to be who I am today,if I didn't have Jr giving me the drive to do good. jr has only been away from me for about less than 24 hours at the most before,and I usually start having panic attacks about the 15th hour. Here is to staying Strong!!!!

I love you Jr so much and want you to have positive life adventures,and this I hope is one you always remember!!!! I love you and will see you soon.

To all my followers....there will be many pics and blogging about this trip I'm sure.Stay Tuned!

IF ONLY's

Do you ever day dream about how your life would be perfect,"if Only"(fill in the blank)? I DO ALL THE TIME!!!! Most times it totally consumes me. I will stay up at night,or my work day will pass me by in a blink all while I am fantasizing about how my life would be better,"if Only". If only I had such amount of dollars,if only i was married,if only I had chosen better with the first husband,if only I could stay home and see Jr all that much more,if only I owned a home,if only i was 100 lbs like I used to be,if only I hadn't wasted so many years "lost"....I could go on for ever with this.You get the point. I don't want to waste anymore of my life wishing it was different.How sad this could be if in 25 years I am still day dreaming about my "if only's".You know that saying,"the grass is always greener..."? Its a great saying! One I need to keep in my head along with all these random & often obsessive & negative thoughts. I have to remind myself that my life is what it is and enjoy the good when it comes.The bad is just excess. Like the fat in my a**. AHHH!,IF ONLY".

Now if only I could get back to work

JULY 4th, 2009

On Friday morning Jr & I went to BC Cafe for breakfast.I was smart not to order anything big this time.it was so yummy and jr's food was free( Yay)later that day Marie & Seb came over and we BBQ'd & went swimming. We really had a good time! Playing in the water,getting pedicures,even the boys joined in on that fun. Saturday I took Harvey to the groomers,he needed alittle "me time". On my way home from dropping him off I had a little car trouble.Nothing too major thank goodness. Jr & I went swimming again before heading out to Laura's for more BBQ fun and fireworks. We had a blast. Jr got mad when the the big "kids" wouldn't let him do the dangerous fireworks. That is what the sour face is all about. We stayed till almost 1am !!! Laura was sweet enought to help me get my blog going. Another successful Independence Day down!!!! I love when the family gets together,and miss those that aren't there. I really have grown to cherish these moments.

Camping May,2009

Back in May I had the opportunity to go on my first real camping trip,quading and all. Man it was a blast!!! I had so much and I can't wait to go again. Jr loved hanging with the guys. We ate great BBQ, and rode quads,sometimes we just talked.It was so much fun. Here are some pics from that great time.
