Five Things on Friday

1. Joanna and Tommy are coming to Ventura and I'm excited!

2. I really want to go to the waterpark at Lake Casitas sometime soon.

3. It's sad that I really have no plans for the 4th. I would love to have a BBQ or something.

4. It's pool time after work today!!

5. I think I would like to go out to dinner and hang out with friends on my birthday. So those of you who will be here, we're goin' out, girls!!!

Ten On Tuesday

1. Tyler left today after being here for a week. He watched the kids most days last week while I worked and they loved that! It was a really great time and we'll miss him a lot. No one will ever fully understand why or how this is all working but all I can say is that God is amazing.

2. Cole's getting really good at his backdive!

3. I lost three pounds last week! 10 more pounds and I'll be my goal weight. Up, down, up, down. Darn temptations!

4. Kayley's first day went fine at her new childcare center. You know, minus the part where they watched Pokemon. Needless to say, we're switching to a new one.

5. I'm excited that Lindsay is here! Swedish pancakes call our names!

6. Kayley loves to tell me that she's "working out the kinks." It's hilarious coming out of her mouth!

7. My birthday is in 35 days. I'm not normally a birthday freak (ahem, Krista) and count down the days but, well, I guess I am this year.

8. Tyler and I watched Dollhouse a few times this week. It's not my favorite show but it's definitely a good one.

9. We waited for four hours at the ID office on base yesterday. It's ridiculous how long they make you wait sometimes!

10. I seriously hope July is full of sunshine. I'm tired of the icky overcast sky.

Friday

Yay for a day off!

I went to the dentist yesterday. Everything is so technologically advanced these days! It shouldn't surprise me, but it does. I signed in on a computer kiosk and filled out all my health history, too. The dental assistant asked me "so what exactly IS melanoma?" Uh, skin cancer you dope. Anyway, my dentist is one of the sweetest, non judgmental people I've ever met and she has had melanoma, too. I got two fillings and have to go back for two more. I'm amazed I don't have more cavities. I haven't had dental insurance in years! Anyway, I'm blessed to have it now.

Speaking of insurance, who wants to pay at $115,000 hospital bill? We owe about 1/115 of that! Now we're REALLY blessed to have insurance!

Things are going really well right now! God is proving himself faithful. It's amazing what He can do when I take my hand off of things!!

Not Me! Monday

It's been too long since I did Not Me! Monday. Here goes:

After the pool the other day Cole did not take off his board shorts in the front yard and pee on the ground. He did not proceed to say "look, its a puppet show with my pee! See the giraffe and the elephant?" Seriously, that did not happen!

I did not sweat so much at the garage sale this weekend that my bangs were so greasy and unfortunate for all viewers. At least I made a nice bundle of cash!

Cole did not tell Kayley that I was carrying her in my belly and that I squirt milk out my bra to feed her belly. Nope, not my kid!!

Kayley is starting a new day camp on Wednesdays. It is not a huge issue about what to wear on the first day. She also did not tell me that her legs were fat. I told her that was ridiculous because she eats healthy and exercises. And that the Dawson girls all have unfortunately large thighs. Jk, I didn't say that. It makes me wonder how often I criticize my looks and weight around her.

I did not clean the bathroom for the first time in over a month. That is not disgusting. I think we just adapt to the bacteria living among us;)

I did not get so emotional at Pastor Tony's last day at First Assembly. I don't go there anymore but I did, for 15 of the 16 they were there, and I wanted to say goodbye. And anytime someone puts Josh Groban as music for a slide show it calls for tears!

I do not think that Peyton and Hunter are old enough now to do fun and crazy things so Kim and Lindsay should do a Not Me! Monday too.

I wish I had more to blog about. I'm just plain tired. Working, getting ready for the garage sale tomorrow and a run/walk with the kids around the big Kimball park did me in! I'm glad we went to the park. The gym is great but I love to get out there and make the kids sweat too! My goal was to exaust them and it worked. :)

I hope everyone has a happy weekend!

Ten On Tuesday

1.I allowed my son to go to school today in highwater pants. He's grown a couple inches and now none of his pants fit!

2. I'm pretty sure it was just yesterday that Tyler and I were driving to the hospital to have Kayley. Now, almost six and a half years later, she's graduating from Kindergarten. It makes me feel old! When did 25 become old?

3. Four more days until the coolest garage sale ever. It'll be interesting getting my kids out of bed at 6am. Here's hoping for good sales!

4. I'm finally going to get internet at my house. Welcome to the 21st century, Steph.

5. I find it odd that there's a kind of Splenda with added fiber.

6. I'm very ready for school to be out. Kayley is too. She's just exausted and ready to sleep in!

7. I haven't had coffee yet today and I'm really struggling to stay awake!

8. I'm craving chocolate like crazy. Too bad Kim isn't here to share a pan of brownies with.

9. I really wish the sun would come out in the morning.

10. I've struggled with things to write for this entire post. That's why I'm posting it on Wednesday instead of Tuesday!

Yes....

....this is, indeed, a Whodidily Cupcake. It's an overpriced, amazingly wonderful treat for my mouth. Loving it, loving it, mmm, mmm. And yes, I will be running on the treadmill for a long time tonight to burn off the calories!
