Busy day anyone?

Today has been busy and it's only 2:30pm.... We woke up this morning and Will and I went to HH Gregg for a huge appliance sale they had going on, stopped by Lowes to get a refrigerator filter as well as a shovel to shovel mulch. Afterward, stopping by CVS to get Will some meds for his sore throat. When we got home Will stayed behind to do homework and the kids, Sandy and I went to a sale at Target for kids clothes. My kids can usually go through clothes whether it is tearing them up or just plain out growing them. Between clothes and shoes I should have stock in these companies that have both. Anyway, while at target my handicapped sister in law fell. We helped her up and into a wheelchair while we did a report with Target for just in case purposes. then with that whole fiasco done we ran home to get Sandy's brace and on to Wal-Mart to get the doctor shoals inserts to hopefully make wearing her brace easier on her arch that is non- existent. After hitting Wal-Mart we went to Sonic for some nourishment as most of us haven't ate anything at all today. The guy accidently cleared the whole order and had to start over.... But the order did come out quickly so that was nice. We have since been home taking it easy and working on house work while Will works tersely to get his homework done.

I'm glad to have a pressure cooker, I never knew what I was missing until we used it the first time. It cooks so good and quickly. I have a pork loin roast in there cooking away while I type to my hearts content.

Has it really been 3years?!

Wow it's been awhile since I've even thought about blogging but would love to get back into my page because it's a place to vent or ask for help without feeling like I'm a failure or a worse parent than the next. A lot has changed since 2011 so let me fill  you in. December of 2011 we moved to North Alabama because my husband got a stateside job (YAY!) so me and the kids waited till December so Aleigh could finish out the semester in Mississippi. I was a little nervous about moving because I grew up in Mississippi and all our immediate family is there but wanted us to be a whole family in one house again so welcomed the idea of a new start somewhere completely different than we have known. Since moving here we have both worked hard and were able to buy a house where we spend most of our time. This neighborhood is awesome and very diverse with different cultures and religions. I really love this so that our kids learn that it doesn't matter your race, religion or creed that everyone is equal and should be treated as such. I hope to be doing some small renovations to the house and decorating, which is something I know nothing about.... so it you have any tips, feel free to share.


We went on a couple huge trips over the last three years so I will do individual posts for them so that I can add pictures and details to the events. We went to Disney World in 2012 and Maine last summer. Both trips were so much fun and I can't wait for the next family adventure.
