Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am a little late in posting this, but I hope everyone had a Wonderful Thanksgiving!! We had a lovely and quiet day yesterday. Johnny and Jacob haven't been feeling good this week so I decided to take them to the Pediatrician on Wednesday. They both have Bronchitis. Poor babies :( We had to cancel all of our Thanksgiving day plans as our Ped recommended we not expose the boys germs to anyone. Good idea. I ran to the grocery store after getting them settled at home with John. I was able to pick up all of the essentials for a perfect Thanksgiving dinner!! Everything went off without a hitch yesterday!! The Turkey and trimmings were delicious!! While we weren't able to spend the day with all of our loved ones we were with them in spirit!! I am just thankful to have such a wonderful husband and two beautiful children to spend my Holidays with...sick or not!! :)

STUPID Virus.

I got a virus on my computer on Sunday. The whole thing basically shut down. John had to take it into work to have his boss look at it. Unfortunately he had to delete everything we had on there :( Oh well. At least is is all fixed now. I don't think I realized how attached I am to this thing. I was literally almost in tears with no computer. Am I sad?? ;-)

COMPUTER, I LOVE YOU!!

A Brighter Outlook

There is just something in the air during the Holiday Season that makes me want to be a better person. As I'm sure with most people there are things about myself and things that I've done in my lifetime that I am regretful and disappointed of. I know it's one of the biggest ways we learn, but for some reason every year during the Holidays I think of all the ways I personally can be a better person. I tell myself this year after year and then as soon as the Holidays are over fall back into some bad habits. Being easily irritated, little to no patience, judgemental, being hurtful...just to name a few. I want to be that person who sees the good in every situation and in every Person. I want to push all negativity away and just concentrate on the good. Why shouldn't I be that person that you always say is so happy and cheerful..all the time. People like that drive me nuts...and why, because I am jealous?? Probably. I should be looking up to people like that. People who NEVER judge a book by it's cover. Who no matter what the situation always find some good. Life is short....the older I get the bigger a realization that is. I/We all should be living every day to it's fullest. I have so many things to be thankful for....even in times of despair. It has been so easy for me to ask why me, why us, why Johnny since his Diabetes Diagnosis. I guess that's the point. Life isn't easy.....The easiest solutions are probably never the right ones. After this election I walked around for about a full week feeling sick. I am a republican. I strongly disagree with most of the things Democrats stand and hope for. I have been rather bitter at the outcome of the election. It seems so silly now. I did my part and voted....voiced my opinion. That's all I can do. I need to focus more on the now of my life. Already I can look back and see how much time I have wasted being mad at the most ridiculous things. We are all the same. Normal people just trying to live our lives. Who am I to judge anyone? Or to be negative towards someone for just being them? I am just being me and do not wish to be judged.


I guess my point is be happy....look to the good....and never judge a book by it's cover. From now on I'm not!!

Nascar

This weekend John and I had the pleasure of getting away for the weekend. One of our neighbors won a prize for Himself and a guest to go down to the Richmond International Speedway for the Richard Petty Driving Experience. Which means they got to drive a Nascar!! Very exciting....if you are a man/woman and or a nascar fan!! I have to be honest though...I know NOTHING about Nascar. Therefor I had NO idea what this experience would be like. It turned out to be much more exciting than I ever would have thought!! I was pretty cool watching all of the men and women getting ready and then driving in circles at speeds of 100 miles per hour :) I really loved sitting on the hard and cold bleachers for 4 and a half hours!!

No really...we had a very nice time. I think that it just wasn't long enough for the boys though. You know how they are with toys. They wanted to play forever.....which was NOT included in their prize package. Too bad. It might have been fun to sit there for another 4 and a half hours on the cold/hard bleachers!!

Gotta LOVE a man in uniform....too bad those didn't come with the package!!

The best part of the weekend was our Hotel! It was very nice and had a down comforter. I truly did not want to leave bed!! Plus they had great room service. I LOVE room service!!! It was SO nice to get away with my Husband...ALONE. I did miss the kids though, but sometimes I miss my Husband too!!

Today....

I Voted

Johnny Voted

I got a FREE tall coffee at Starbucks for voting

What have you done today??

HALLOWEEN!!

We had a great Halloween!! The boys are at a great age for these kind of Holiday's!! I know it keeps John and I young.....even though I was feeling anything but young afterwards!! Here are some cute pictures from the last couple of days!!

John, Johnny and Jacob removing the guts from all 7 of the pumpkins!! We got awesome pumpkins this year for $1 each thanks to our neighbor who let us know about a cute little pumpkin stand right down the road!!

I think we will be doing LOTS of relaxing this weekend!! Jacob has a bad cold which just seems to be getting worse. Johnny had a football game at 9am this morning...they lost :( They played hard and had fun though!! I hope everyone had an awesome and safe Halloween!! We are looking forward to Thanksgiving!! I LOVE the Holidays!!.....and I can't wait to decorate for Christmas!!!
