Weekends!!!

So, we had a pretty decent weekend. Saturday, we travelled 211 miles (without the kids, YIPEE) to go to my boss's camp in Toledo Bend. We actually had a really good time. The place is SUPER nice, we had our own room , big ass TV, a huge warf, party barge, fishing poles and all the birds and relaxing you want. So, we got a speeding ticket on the way there, but I can fix that, I still have connections, since quitting the Sheriff's Office about 4 years ago. I was a cop for 7 years, did you know that? ANYWAY, it was a funfilled day, drinking beer and relaxing :) But yesterday, when we got home, it was back to normal. I missed my babies :) Emma was glad to see me, she actually took like 5 steps towards me. Go Emma!!! After putting the kids down for naps, at 2:00 I began to doze off but was awakened by my entire house rattling and shaking. I looked outside at the gale force winds, thinking that the weather dude forgot to tell me about this hurricane!! My trampoline was in a tree. Another tree was in my brand spanking new fence, and branches were everywhere. Scary. But, no one was hurt, we've survived worse and I'm sure will get much worse this year. Anyway, hope you all had a good one. It'll be a busy week, Birthday party Thursday, Birthday Party Saturday. Woo HOO!

MAKING CHANGES...

Ahhh, changes, they are a coming. I've been feeling so unlike myself lately. I NEVER feel sorry for myself, no matter what I've been through in life, I rarely sit and say oh woe is me. But, I think its time! I need to focus more time and energy on ME. I've been working nonstop pretty much 10 hours a day. I never get home in time for supper. I spend most of my weekends, being a lazy ass because the weeks just drained me. Well, from now on, I will work on what I get paid to work on. I refuse to go above and beyond anymore, unless it comes to my family or friends. I refuse to dwell on people who don't appreciate it. I've decided to make quite a few changes to my life, including friends, work habits, etc. I want to spend more time with my children, and not obsessing about the crumbs Emma leave behind when eating a cookie. Or the mess in the living room with Rylan is playing with his trains. Try not to be so OCD when it comes to the dishes in the sink. Not sweat the small stuff. I really need to make a change, seriously. I just get so down and out about STUPID things, when I should be focusing on the more important. Me and my babies :) Hope you all have a wonderful week and weekend.
