wow spring break is underway and yesterday was a picture of glorious happiness compared to today. yesterday the neighbor kids came over to introduce themselves in what was later found to be their mom saying go meet the neighbor kids and leave me alone.. but whatever they had people to distract them from themselves. this morning however i have 3 psycho kids who are full of rage and hate apparently, a game of balloon volleyball just about came to blows a bit ago and the boys had training early this morning and if looks could kill I would have been dead with the ones Reid was shooting at me...ohh he was HOT, both literally and figuratively, he has the tendency to want to quit when things get hard, but wants an easy out, and when I would not go tell the coach to give him a pass .... ensue visual daggers but hey if he was really sick or hurt he would have spoke up, so he sucked it up and finished strong and i praised him for that ... life is not always easy and perseverance is a huge part of it, so good on him. But back to the drama ... why is it my kids seem to always bicker, is it like that for everyone... and they do play together as well, sometimes fabulously but man oh man when they don't it is nuclear war.
So Duke and i celebrated 13 years of marriage yesterday ... hard to believe that its been that long... to celebrate we did a donut cake... honestly i normally bake a cake or something but we have had so many sweets around lately that i did not want to add more and had the donuts leftover from the weekend when my folks came so taddaa... reposed sweets and we bought a family board game of creationary... we are lego junkies so a good fit... and since we celebrate it as our families bday kinda worked for all of us. Yea boring married bliss and no trip to vegas or baha but oh well we did go to IHOP so I got that going for me... HAHA this has become tradition since it was the only place we could walk to at 4 am the night of our wedding on 6 st in Austin to feed our starving bodies since our meals never made the limo ride ...so a tradition was born. However I think the price of milk has jumped drastically $3.00 for a glass of milk ... 1 glass not a gallon...NUTS. I guess I should revel in the fact that we are cheap easy to please people more than we are not ... but believe me I can soo go the other way too... yep one end of the spectrum or total opposite seems like
We are also settled in the new house for the most part and aside from a few personal changes we would like, its a good fit, and suitable for us for a while. However I am soooo ready to have a home with a current appliances... these ones make alot of noise when in use however they do work so can't complain too much ... I am just ready to have a home that i can for see a future in long term... needing a trifecta... got the marriage, kids, now just need the long term house.
So spring break 2011 consists of alot of lazy house time, this is the first time that we have had a vacation time where we have not traveled in a LONG time and although i do miss skiing, and the beach its kinda nice to bum it and have no agendas, we took in an Airshow with my folks that turned disaterious with a crash of a wing walker team, so sad she is burned badly and has a long road of recovery and he is better off... but in all my airshow history and as an airforce brat its a pretty big history this is the first ever crash I have seen.... and do not care to see anymore. We are going to head to Corpus to see the aquarium and the Lexington... and snag a couple movies and thats about it for us.... yea kinda low key, and I will take it, no bags to pack or unpack, no dog kenneling, no travel stress... my job stays home this time with all the creature comforts.
