random thoughts

i think about life a lot and how i am lucky for what i have
i miss my husband
i wish i talked to my family more
a full time teaching job really is a full time job - weekends included
i was blessed with awesome nieces and nephews who i miss as well
i love my house but it is kind of far away from people, but it is nice to be on my own
teaching high school sometimes i wish i could go back there
what will it be like when i have my own kids, hard to grasp i am even old enough to have kids
i'm amazed at how much your life can change within a year - marriage, new house, new job - whew i'm tired
sometimes weeks go by too fast and i hope they slow down a bit
weekends are too short
why am i so emotional?
how can i be less stressed when i have so much new things going on and more stressed when i don't?
when will i get home tonight?

what are some of your random thoughts that you think about during the day, or in the shower, or while you are driving?

(I know like 4 people read my blog but hoping maybe some other people do to that I do not know about and they will pop in to give me some random thoughts too!)

3 Years...or 21, however you want to look at it! :)

My little guy turned 3 years old (or 21 years in dog years) on October 5th.  I'll admit that I forgot his birthday only to remember yesterday.  No I am not that kind of person who throws her dog a birthday party, but I AM that kind of person who sings Happy Birthday to her dog and goes out to dinner with her parents and husband, orders a patty melt, and takes 1/2 of it home (the burger part only) to her dog so he can have a birthday dinner....

He lived it up and got his belly rubbed while Mark and I watched TV. I apologized for forgetting his birthday (I think the burger made up for it) and made sure to sing Happy Birthday one more time before we went to bed and told him how much we loved him ;) 

Hmmmm...me and my dog...I just cannot get enough of him!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY COOPER! Mommy and Daddy <3 you!
