There’s nothing like this… October 7, 2009

I’m sitting here on my lunch break today, just thinking about how crazy of a week it’s been as I get prepared at work and home for a wonderful week of vacation.  And all of a sudden, I’m smiling because my hubby came to mind.  I know I haven’t told him often enough how much I love him and think of him; but in case he ever doubted it, i’m saying it now.  I love you Ode, and I’m thinking about you-ALWAYS!!

Much of our focus these days has been on Niknak and helping her grow.  So much so that we started losing some of the focus on ourselves; not that we blame her at all, because we don’t.  I just realized that our time management skills suck a little.  Anyways, Matticus started focusing on his music again, and I can already see a change in his spirit.  He’s excited about music again and it makes me happy.  I told him this yesterday, and he made sure (like he always does) to let me know that he is always happy with me and Niknak and just really excited to get motivated again. 

I love him.  Thank you Ode, for being you and for loving me.  There’s nothing like you.

heatstroked and gnatty…eww. September 28, 2009

This weekend we got a chance to spend some time with the 5Dillards (minus one) and we decided to go to 6 Flags.  First we decided to eat lunch which was HECKA expensive!  Hello, I never thought I would pay over $10 for some Panda Express!  We sat down only to be caught in a swarm of gnats!!!  I never saw so many gnats in my life!  I ate a few of them and inhaled plenty more.  It was not yucky.  We then decided to keep moving and ended up in the kiddie section of the park.

 

 

Niknak, now over 36 inches tall (yay!), got a chance to finally ride some exciting rides.  We spent most of our time watching the kids enjoy themselves.  A funny moment was this one boat ride that Niknak and two of her cousins (C-lena and E-jah) got on.  We thought it wouldn’t be so scary, as all three of the kids got on all excited.  As soon as the boat started swinging and gained momentum, E-jah started freaking out and calling for his mommy.  He didn’t seem to like the feeling he got in his stomach.  We laughed a little, because it was so darn cute.

We took in a few more rides, the kids played in the water a bit, and we saw a couple of shows and animals.  A great time was had by all, but OMG it was soooo HOT!  By the end of the day, I had myself a heatstroke- AGAIN!  I swear i’m drinking enough water, but maybe not.  We look forward to going again, but maybe in winter time only!   Thanks for the fun time Dillards!
