Summer

Yay!! Iam so super siked.. this summer is going to be a great one.. Lets start off

May: end of school.. and the best part my husbands family is coming not the in laws just his brother and sister in law and all there children.. iam super excited its always fun when there around. Our kids don't get to see each other that often so its nice to get them around each other once in awhile. His other brother Matt might be able to come also which is the most exciting because I haven't seen him in 4 years and my husband longer. And the kicker, it has been prolly 5 or 6 years since all the brothers have been together. You see there all in the military and it seems when it is time for leave and everyone to go home and visit one or the other is deployed. It will be nice to just be us "kids" and not there parents to bog us down in of course the nicest way possible!!

June: well this isn't gonna be to fun, Wes will be in the Field half the month. But i hoping we will be able to enjoy all Colorado has to offer in the summer..such things as the zoo, fishing, hiking and all that kind of stuff.. now for the hiccup the parents want to come visit then. Yipee while i can not barely stand to be around them (for reasons that will have to be in another blog) my kids love them. They love everything about them and for all purposes they are great grandparents. So to make my kids happy i will suck it up and drive on..

July: FUN IN THE SUN!! We are going to visit my sister in Florida. We see them yearly but it is always super duper fun! First we are traveling from Colorado to Texas where my nieces and other sister live. We will stay over night in order to take the girls with us to Fla. Iam happy about this because not only are they my favorite nieces we haven't seen Laura(sister) and Ashley(niece) in about 3 years. Cheyenne (other niece) got to fly out here and see us last summer which was so fun. They are growing up so fast. They have boyfriends and are in love half the time which is completely weird because last time we saw both of them they thought boys had cooties lol. So after Texas we will drive the rest of the way to Florida were we will be able to see my twin sister heather her hubby Stephen and our nephew Stephen. Its sure gonna be great. We will go to the beach which is kinda a big thing around my house because my kids weren't old enough really to remember the beach. They are most excited to build castles and for my son dump water on his uncle Steve's head.. but and now here is the hard part..THE SWIMMING.. My kids have seen the ocean on TV in such shows as the deadliest catch, uh the news where they show beached whales you know adult shows.. oh and cartoons like fricken sponge bob which of course shows the ocean to have crabs and sharks and jellyfish which sting people all the times.. SOO my kids are scared to go in the ocean afraid that they will be stung, ate, pinched or bite.. who knew sponge bob would have such a bad influence..OUCH! so its gonna take some convincing of no doubt dear ol uncle Steve to get them in the ocean.. they love that guy even though they never get to see him... its gonna be great! We will get to see Lil play basketball i believe which is so cool because being so far away we miss out on each others children events like plays and sports so it will be nice to root him on from the sidelines this time and not the other side of the country.. I want to make signs and may oh yes this would be awesome me and the other kids can make up a Cunningham cheer! He would no doubt be embarrassed to all hell but it seems that's how this family shows love.. Which brings me to another reason iam excited that we are going to Fla. We have a brother that lives in southern Ga, He his wife and child will be coming to visit also! yes a very packed house but man when me my sister and brother are all together things get crazy! My brother is famous for scaring the shit out of people and throwing eggs and such he is a hoot.. You have to stay on your toes around him.. Iam just so super excited for everything going on. If for only part of the summer our families will be together. The biggest downfall of the military is being drug around the country and away from our loves! Oh and we will spend the forth of July there which is my fav holiday, and we will see how the kids like that because last year they were not to excited about the sparklers and the fireworks done at home! I don't know what else to say iam so looking forward to having a vacation and taking a break from life.. Sometimes it gets so hectic and it will be nice to relax!

Alcohol

So i have came to the realization in the last few days sorta like an ephany.. alcohol should become illegal. Now dont get me wrong i love me a drink from time to time my favorite is malibu and pinapple juice..and i love to play beer pong. but here is my deal i have seen nothing good come out of getting drunk. People drive home drunk or have one night stands that lead to std's. I have a friend that always says i need a drink iam like seriously or i need to get laid like what the hell are you trying to do to yourself. It would cut out D.U.I's and people dying cause of idiots driving drunk. Now on a personal level alone just in my group of friends never is there a night that someone isnt mad when this guy/girl isnt talking to them (and there all involved with someone married or in a relationship) or the other partner is mad cause there partner is flirting with another. Or these inconsiderit people will actully have sex in my house in my kids bed and act like it cool or whatever and there loud. How rude RIGHT!! I would never ever do that. There are people who can have a good night and thats it but always there in someone in the group that ruins it all. Like idiots that puke and just try to hide it instead of cleaning it up like no one will ever see it. I have seen lying, cheating, stealing, deaths, fights (mainly due to alcohol induced confidence when the guy hits on the wrong girl), cops, drugs, to much sex with to many people, windows broken, people going broke buying stuff to drink... thats just a little you know and to think with all these problems you would think something would be differnet. I say just dump it all down the drain geez.. and i gotta a plan all the liqueor stores could turn into soda shops and all the bars where people meet the clubs and such can be the same just be creative with soda or juice or whatnot people can still dance and shit without being embarrassing to themselves and others, and the people who make the liqueur at the plants or where ever that will be laid off can get a job at a soda factory or juice factory because of the influx in sales once alcohol goes out of business. Another thing at least for parents is getting up after a long night.. your tired and your meaner to your kids cause the after effects of the drinking.. It so gets under my skin and iam so sure i could ramble for ever with reasons its just stupid.. name something good that has ever came out of it.. I am sure someone will say it helps you relax yeah and then leads to alcholism cause just one more drink or the next night oh that beer sure helped the night before..anyway to me lately and maybe its this circle of friends it seems everything we do every BBQ or party we go to has to revolve around getting drunk or iam just having a few beers with the guys which in case you didn't notice is never a "few".. Blah anyway since this one is on a Friday have fun this weekend and be careful

WARNING

OK listen.. Do not be offended if you read something you don't like in here.. i will talk about people and situations that disgust me.. i will never use your name right out but hey this is like a public diary and since everyone knows i never have the balls to say it out loud i will discuss it here.. i think that even if no one ever reads this it will help me be less stress and help me get back into the groove of being me again and not just a mom, wife and friend who will do everything and anything for anyone.. I shall grow a back bone and maybe this shall be my first step ha ha! good luck to me!
