Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for leaves!!

At least the leaves that aren't at my house! ;)

The Past 168 Days

Wow, 168 days since the last time I blogged. I guess there goes that goal for 2011. LOL. I swear it's not because I haven't wanted to, cause I have! The thing is, life took off like a wildfire and I'm now just getting it under control. I think. Hopefully. Let's all keep our fingers crossed for me. Haha.

These past 168 days have been a fast paced roller coaster ride! From my boys tracking off from school two different months (whoever thought it was a great idea to separate siblings and put them on different tracks should be shot. figuratively speaking.), me working full time at nights, the kids schoolwork, sports, birthday parties, trips to Tahoe, running a half marathon a month, and Adam being laid off from two different jobs. It's been crazy!!

Oh, and for some reason I didn't think I had enough on my plate so I decided to join the PTA. Yep, me, a PTA mom. You can laugh. I do every time I hear it. :)

Anyways, here are a few pictures (since my camera decided to break) of the last 168 days. I would promise to blog more but who am I kidding? How about I promise to try to promise to blog more? Does that make sense? If it doesn't, sorry; it's Friday!! Enjoy!

Flashback Friday

{06/2003}

Never in a million years did I think in 2003 I would fall madly in love with this man. But it happened, and has continued happening every day of each week since he told me he loved me. The transformation he has gone through in becoming a husband and father has shocked me in more ways than I ever thought possible. At times, the love I have for him is overwhelming. He is not just my husband and best friend, but the other half of my heart and lungs. I owe him the world for giving me the love I thought I would never find.

Our relationship has never been a cookie cutter storybook fairytale. We've done things backwards, there have been "disagreements", and hard times. But when the day is over and we turn the bed sheets back it's been our fairytale. A fairytale that's celebrating 7 years of marriage this weekend, 3 healthy and beautiful children, and more love and laughter then most marriages experience in a lifetime.

My prince charming might not have ridden up on a white horse or wears a suit every day. But let’s be real, there is only one reason why a man needs to wear a tie and it doesn't involve being worn around his neck. ;)

Happy Friday!

~ High school graduation with Grandma and Grandpa Wright ~

Wanna guess the year I graduated high school? Here's a clue...

We Want to Know Wednesday

1. What is the best or worst pick up line you have ever been given?
2. What is your most and least favorite day of the week?
3. How many hours of sleep do you require each night?
4. Is there a song that takes you back in time? What song is it and what memory is it attached to?
5. What is your biggest guilty pleasure?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Pick up line: The worst pick up line ever given to me was after I told the douche bag my name was Bre, "Brie cheese is my favorite, can I eat you?" GAG! 
2. Day of the week: At the moment my favorite day of the week is Sunday. It's the only full day I get to be with my family. My least favorite day is Monday because the Ball and Chain is home from work so I only get half of the day with him before I leave for work.
3. Sleep: I like to point out, require and what I actually get are WAY different. Which is probably like most moms! I require at least 8 hours of sleep. Always have. On a good night I'll get 6 hours of sleep, but normally it's more like 5ish. I work swings so when I get home from work it's the only time I have to myself to get things done without the 3 monsters ruggrats kids getting in my way.
4. Song: I don't even know where to begin! I love, love, LOVE music and there are sooooo many songs that take me back to great memories. "Walk like a Camel" - Southern Culture on the Skids. "Ironic" - Alanis Morissette. "Free Bird" - Lynyrd Skynyrd. "Free Falling" - Tom Petty. "You Shook Me All Night Long" - AC/DC. "Bless The Broken Road" - Rascal Flatts. "I Gotta Feeling‬‏" - Black Eyed Peas. "Boondocks" - Little Big Town. My list could seriously go on and on!
5. Guilty pleasure: I would say a chilled bottle of tequila, but I really don't feel much guilt about that. So I'll have to go with a spoonful of half peanut butter and half nutella. If I'm feeling really frisky I'll spread both in a tortilla and nuke it for 20 secs. Yum! I'd love to get in contacted with someone to market it like Goober. I, along with many pregnant women and potheads, would be in heaven!
