I cannot believe it has been so long since I have last posted. Since my last post I have gained another year on my life Happy Birthday to me!! Gotten a new Easter Basset Puppy for my Hubby and embarrassed my kids at least a dozen times I am sure.
My Birthday was great my dad got me a Moeller's cake, which is the best cake in the world, not just Houston. I already had my new car, and my ear rings that Bruce could not wait to give me so.... I got a paper weight pig for my present :) Looove pigs! good job Brucie. I can say without a doubt this year was far better than last year and every year that passes I miss my Mom more but the pain is easier to deal with. Maybe I am just expecting it. Everyone remembered even my poor worn out brother who works too hard (if you ask me) The most wonderful thing about my birthday is, my sister is 7 years older the following day HA!! Better than a twin she takes the sting out of turning older. However my poor brother did infact miss calling his big sister. Its a crap shoot with him who will be forgotten each year. We love him anyway and just tease him mercilessly about it.
As far as embarrassing my kids ahhh well dancing in the middle of Il Primo just about sent them all to an early grave. I asked, sheepishly, I do it all the time at home is it not OK in public. Zoes mouth, still gapping, said no LOL. I love that, mostly because my kids will one day remember that life is better when seriousness is put in it's place and silliness lives strong! Pretty much I am a stop and smell the roses type person now instead of oh look and take note of their presence. My favorite saying is "smile at the little things, they add up to something big" simple truth.
My neighbor lost his job, I wish that on no one, he is not all together the mirror of humanity that one wished for in a neighbor but, well, life goes on. We have learned though, no sleep overs at the house where the husband is drunk and yells and throws things and talks to his wife like dirt. It's sad too his wife and kids are so great. But, alas, I cannot condone it and do not allow the kids to play there. They still play in the front yard with each other and talk through the fence and bounce separately on trampolines together. Their daughter spilled the beans exclaiming "my dad got fired.....we are poooooor!" I feel bad for them, I told the girls we needed to pray for him and their family because even though he is not the type of person we want in our lives that type of hardship I wish on no one. So we pray for their well being and financial situation and I hope it is teaching my kids a good lesson. Something along the lines of just because we don't care for their way of life doesn't mean we cannot pray for their happiness. Or something like that, I am not even sure my self but if feels like the right thing to do.
Now as far as the Easter Basset... this one was completely spontaneous A life long friend posted about Basset puppies being given away, I look at Bruce and said you want? He said sure, we hopped in the car drove 2 hours and picked one up. I hate puppies. I had forgotten that LOL they pee, they lick and they whine. UHHHG! Over all he really is a good dog and is catching on to routine very quickly. I might just have to love the guy. His name is Toby, you know after the Basset in Disney's the Great Mouse Detective ( love that movie) So I think that catches us up thus far other than my father goes home next week WOOHOO and I have lost 10 pounds yippee. Back to work more to come in a few days not weeks I promise!
