ABC's of today

x marks the spot, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

Just some ABC thoughts from today:

Age- still don't feel my age

Bulldog toots.....three word: DANG, they stink!

Cleaned off the art center.It was piled high with everything that didn't have a home.


Daughter- She knows how to push buttons already....at three!

Eight-twenty-when the kids were asleep tonight!

Finally getting my bumper fixed from when that woman rear-ended me the LAST day we were packing out in TX.

Good dinner- simple bean and rice burritos...Livi even ate it! Will aske, "What are the kids eating" I guess he didn't like the smell of it!

Happy dance......me when it took less than thirty minutes to get the kids to sleep!

I miss my TX friends.

Jelly ...PBJ <----I make daily for one kid or the other!

Kind of looking for a new gym/aerobics to join. But Curves and something called Energy fitness don't seem to move me!

lights are found.....they were in the sandbox out back. I guess the packers took them down and put them in it!


Muffin monday- We made Will's favorite, pumpkin chocolate chip, and shared with the neighbors. The kids have already started school, so we had to go to a few houses before we gave some away!

Not looking forward to the weeklong TDY next week.

Overdue for a cut/color. I was given the name of a stylist here in town a friend used to go to...but I haven't made the time to go do it! I guess I need to before Husband leaves next week.

Photos....I finally put all the pictures I have taken since May 25 on the external hard drive. There were 1500 of them. I have not even looked at them yet!

Quite sure I will delete at least 75% of them.

Ready to hang pictures.....this always signifies the end of packing for me.

So ready for preschool to start next week.

Toast with an egg was my breakfast! I even tried the hole in the middle one like Pioneer woman!

Unnerved by the amount of crap we have.

Veggies- loving some snap peas we had for dinner.

Will went to sleep alone with no back rubbing!

eXpect joy in the day to day things

You've got to be kidding me....I won't have my car until early to mid next week!!

Zoo-felt like a zoo around here today!

Just close those pretty blues and go to sleep!

peek a will, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

Will has always been a cuddly snuggly boy. From the days as a tiny infant until now. During the deployment, I finally got over trying to keep him in his bed. No one got any sleep since we were both up all night. So more nights than not, he ended up in my bed.

Fast forward to Dec 07....Husband got home from a 15 month deployment.

May 08-sold house and remained homeless for two months

now- finally settled in our own home, own beds, own pillows...etc.

Preschool is starting next week. Husband also leaves on a TDY (temporarily away from home for work stuff) to GA. So I thought in all my genius thinking that I should start sleep training using the 1-2-3 Magic philosophy. I love its approach to discipline. So why not?

He had more reasons to try to get out of bed than I could count. I was sitting on a chair just outside his doorway, but he could still see me. I was working on a sudoku puzzle, so I started writing them down.

*He needed to read another book.

*Just one more book, please.

*I'm cold. (I did step in and get him a blanket because any one who knows me know I keep it like a freezer in my house!)

*I'm hot. (Of course he was, he just piled every pillow, sham, decorative pillow, blanket, quilt, and sheet he had ON him.)

*I have to go potty.

Aaawwwhh, it is finally quiet. I peek in, his eyes are closed. I start to get up......CREEAAKK....."Mom, where are you going?"

DANG....DANG.....DANG.......I act like I needed to go get a cough drop.

*I'm and having a hard time going to sleep. (Of course you are, just close your eyes!)

*I'm scared. (Oh man, he is pulling out all the tricks!)

*I'm lonely. (Dude, he is really working it.)

*Mom, I just need a small snuggle. (Alright now, at least an hour has passed. Livi has already gone to sleep even after going to potty no less than four time! I am starting to wear thin. But I still haven't said a word to him. I guide him back to his bed when he got up....said nothing when he has literally begged. My mommy-gut is telling me the 1-2-3 Magic is not magically working on him! Dang, I think I am going to cave.)

*Mom, can I just have a hand hug? (By now, I know he is exhausted. Heck, he had a meltdown during bath time over an hour ago. So I scooch the chair close enough to his bed. I rub his back and sing his "hush little baby" favorite night time nursery rhyme....

I kid you not, he was sleep in less than two minutes!

I am not thinking the magic happened tonight! Maybe tomorrow....

Manic Monday, almost seeing the light from behind the boxes

lights, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

Manic Monday brought to us by the talented Fleur-de-Lisa.

Using no more than 10 nouns, and ONLY nouns, describe yourself. Sooner, photographer, neat freak, daughter, wife, mother, friend, creative (DANG, just re-read this and realized creative is not a noun!)...so, for your reading pleasure, I change it to: chef/cook sous chef....depends where I am on the line!

If you owned your own store, what would you sell? something like Williams-Sonoma, where we could do cooking/baking classes, then sell the products we used.

If you were to name the most comforting thing for you to hold in your hands, what would it be? Husband after a long day at work, kids after the bath, a glass of wine after a long day, .....okay that was more than one thing. Whatcha gonna do?

BTW, I had to post this pic of these lights. These lights used to be along the perimeter of our porch in TX. I haven't come across them yet, and we are about 90% done. Most of the boxes are unpacked. I am starting to place the pictures at the base of the wall where I want them hung. I actually did my Flylady House blessing today. I am starting to settle in nicely. I am so seeing the light at the end of the tunnel......now I just wish I could find these lights.

Happy Monday, y'all!

goodbye Texas, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

Since I can't post from my blog.....I am so glad I have these on my Flickr.

This was the last week we were in Texas. The kids' school had a picnic at the train park in a town close by....I was so ready to start the next leg of our little thing called life. BUT.....I was so sad to leave the women and friends who became such an importart part of my life during the 15 month deployment. I was ready to leave the heat, but bawled the whole way out of town.

Happy Saturday!

Photo Story Friday-cooling off

cooling off, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek so sorry Cecily and MamaGeek, I can't add the little header! Why do I have to have computer problems when Husband is sleep?

Back to the picture....this was taken last summer. Will had just gotten this cool water ball from his Aunt M for his birthday. We were on the eighth month of the fifteen month deployment. The weekends seemed to be hardest. The weekdays were filled with the day to day stuff of our routines. But the weekends seemed to drag. We have always gotten pizza on Fridays. We ended up sharing with the neighbors. More often than not, we dragged out Will and Livi's little blow up pool. Even the little seven year old next door would play with them in it. (His mom and dad were the ones that built that backyard nirvana I posted about several times!)

But I look back at this pic and realize that as hard as weekends were, we had fun. Even in the hot hot summer sun of Texas. This blow up pool provided many cooler summer evenings and lots of fun for the kids.

Day three of unpacking

Day three of unpacking, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

I am starting to not feel so claustrophobic in my own home! We have unpacked about two thirds of the house. I am a visual unpacker. I put stuff away in the same 'zones' we use in every house. For example, spices go to the right of the oven. Most of the time we have the same amount of space, so it all fits. This time, the cabinets in the kitchen are much different than we had in TX.

For one thing, I don't have an island with storage underneath. I don't have that super cool pantry. When I unpack, I put everything on the counter, then put it where it is most efficient. Since there is some overflow....I have had to get creative. I put in a chrome kitchen shelf in a broom closet that was a waste of space. Now I essentially have the same thing.

Slowly but surely we are getting things unpacked. I have several boxes of things to Freecycle. I don't even bother with garage sales anymore. Unpacking all of this stuff makes me want to simplify my life even more. We have so much stuff.

All of the living furniture is not going to fit, so that chair and ottoman are going to our bedroom. The bedroom is huge, so it will fit nicely in there.

Happy Wednesday...

Did I say that?

putting my feet up, Mon-Sooner or later, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

As a part of the home buying process, we hired a home inspector to come out to make sure it wasn't falling down. We paid a bit more than normal since we used a structural engineer. Apparently he is so busy, he has someone else in his office do it. Someone who isn't a structural engineer. Two of the posts on the porch are rotted out at the bottom. As part of his guarantee, he came out to take a look at it to see if it is something he should have deemed "to be fixed by the owners"....If it is, then he will pay to have it fixed.

Anyhow, the guy who was supposed to do it in the first place came out yesterday morning just as the movers were supposed to be here as well. Husband had to run up to Lowes to get something for the dryer so it could be working just as soon as it got hooked up. You know it is killing me that I haven't done laundry in almost ten days! I am a load-a-day gal!

It took them all of ten minutes to decide that "yes, it probably should have been caught".....they were measuring the posts etc. They were gone before Husband got back. I was telling him about it and I said....

"The owner and some old guy: he was about forty , came by.........
DANG, I meant he was probably like fifty or something...or like old, not forty old!

I still don't think I am old....forty isn't that old. But this guy was old!

PS, I was ready to post some unpacking pics. But I couldn't get my cord to work. I think I need to put the ones on the camera on the external hard drive. I haven't done that since we left TX. I was too scared I would lose them.

Even though I should really try to unpack a few more boxes, I am going to relax....with a glass of wine, and put my feet up.

Happy Tuesday

Day 3- yeah me

Day 3- yeah me, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

We got the dining room neutral color finished. I only do the Cornelian Red on one wall. That red also runs around the door in the entry way.

It was hard to get a shot of the Fragrant Clove in the bathroom. It is more like the darker part on the left edge. We still need to paint this color in the downstairs bathroom.

Will's room is now done. It was post-it note yellow. Now it blends more with his new planet bedding.

The picture of Livi's room does not do it justice. It seriously glows in the dark. It is a much brighter green. We do usually paint her room a color called Pesto that matches the bedding. We just ran out of time, so we will get to it next weekend.

Finally, our stuff will be here today. Two months and four days ago the truck pulled out of our TX driveway. It seems like it has been forever since we last saw our stuff!

Day 2....whew hoo

Day 2....whew hoo, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

living room has gone from scuffed-up-walls-plain-beige to my favorite Nacho Chip from Kilz. The entry way and one wall in the dining room has gone from barfy-mint-green to my terra cotta-ish Cornelian Red. A kitchn wire cooks shelf is assembled and in an old coat closet. We had to build it in the closet since there was no way to turn the corner to get it in there.

Whew hoo! Day 2

today's goals: Will's room and the Frangrant clove (orange) bathrooms

because of him

Because if him I can only hope more people are living the life they have dreamed of instead of concentrating on the doom and gloom!

I could comment on the little painting we have done.....but I can only hope I live well and live fully.

Happy Saturday

my Friday

my Friday, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

After signing our names on approximately two inches of paper, we headed to our new home! We had already dropped off the paint when we did our walk-thru the previous day.

Despite my detailed lists of "things needed on day one of a PCS", I still had to run up to Lowe's, Target, and the grocery store. While I was gone, Husband was able to get all of that hideous wall paper border off. If you ever need to take wallpaper down, there is an amazing little product called Diff. You spray it on, let it set, and it literally peels right off.

That evening Will some some kids from the across the street.. We met most of the families on this end of the street. There are about six little boys under five. Only some young teen girls, but Livi loved them! The neighbors seem very nice.

After playing outside for a bit, we came in and got started on the painting......we as in Husband and Will. I got Livi settled into bed. Then....ready for this, I put two shelves, a desk and a hutch together! Oh yeah, just call me Wonder Woman.

After just one day, the wallpaper is removed. The kitchen painted a gorgeous neutral khaki. The living room is prepped to become Nacho Chip. The bathrooms are prepped to become Frangrant Cloves. The new SEPERATE Husband officer area in the basement is done. I didn't get to finish a glass of wine....but I did have a few sips!

Finally at a little after one this morning, we got to bed......

Happy Saturday. y'all.....

Twas the Night before Closing

rapainting back to white, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

Twas the night before closing, when all through the hotel,
Not a kid was stirring, but Husband was going to Nashville. (yeah, long story..)

The childred were nestled, all snug in their beds,
While visions of toys danced in their heads.

And Mommy finally relaxed with wine in her cup,
Packed the last bags and put them in the trunk. (well, husband did)

Kids enrolled in another preschool,
Shot records transferred<----what a silly rule.

Paint has been bought,
Rollers, tape, and brushes, the whole lot.

This weekend we'll be painting fools,
Changing to our colors, making it cool.

Cable and internet being hooked up tomorrow,
So now, other's wireless, I won't have to "borrow".

It should be fun, loud and crazy.
With so much to do, no time to be lazy.



Peace out.....

Isn't it ironic?

Edited to add update: I put this in a comment but I will post it here as well.

Thank you all for your kind words. I am a big believer in signs, and that things happen for a reason. After a couple of days, I feel great about not putting them there and settling for a so so school. I am very happy with the one I found. They are enrolled and ready to go.

I am very hesitant to whine about this....but I still keep coming to it in my mind. Soooo, I just need to put it out there and get over it.

This afternoon I went by the preschool I visited last June when we were here buying the house. I wasn't that impressed with it. But I visited my first choice school: what looks like an inch on the map is really a 42 minute drive through the curvy roads of northern Kentucky's bourbon trail. I think I passed Maker's Mark, Jim Beam and Heaven Hill on the drive. Despite loving the school, I really can't fathom driving that back and forth every day for a mere three and a half hours of preschool.

So, I was ready to enroll them in the one here in town that I just so so liked. I went there this morning (after taking them to the duck pond). I held the door open for some mom with a baby and two other kids about Will and Livi's age. She went right into the office.....<---which I thought was super rude since I held the door open for her. Anyhow.....after waiting almost thirty minutes, the directress told me that the lady I held the door open for took the last two spots.

I was heartbroken....I even cried in my car in the parking lot. Granted I was just finishing up a visit with Aunt Flo....but dang, can't it be easy at this point of the PCS?

Because of my niceness<----is that even a word? I was given a physical "don't let the door hit you in the a$$" SIGN that I shouldn't have ever even thought of enrolling them there anyway. So I leave you with a little Alanis...

Hardly worth whining about I know....this is my trying not to whine! But isn't it Ironic?

Manic Monday brought to us by the talented Fleur-de-Lisa.


What's your favorite beach in the world? We have had great fun at the Isle of Palms in Charleston. The drive along Highway 1 towards Big Sur is simple breath taking. You can't go wrong with sand and water I guess.

What's the next country you want to visit? something fun that the whole family could enjoy

What one thing are you craving today? cheese

Happy Monday

Going to Kentucky

We have had fun here in Ohio this last few weeks. It was so nice to be able spend time with the grandparents and the cousins. The weather has been hot, but bearable.

We are finally on the final act of our personal life story of this PCS move from Texas to Kentucky! Can you hear a little squeal of glee? I am so glad to finally almost be in our own house. We close on Friday, then we will be in a painting frenzy on the weekend. Then on Monday our household goods will be delivered.

I looked for a little Ohio music for your viewing pleasure. It is by the Ohio Players, singing a little Red Hot Chili Peppers song: "Love Roller Coaster"....if our life hasn't been a roller coaster this summer, I don't know what is.

Happy Sunday, y'all.

Photo Story Friday: busy little bee

busy little bee, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

This week I have had my camera out and ready to use. We are still in OH with all the cousins. So you never know when one of them might be doing something worthy of a "Kodak moment"<----I still say that, even though I haven't used film in years.

Anyhow, we were all outside after dinner. Since it is still getting dark so late, I try to wear them out with a little sunshine in the evening. The kids were playing semi-nicely when I noticed a bee dive bombing me. Or I thought it was dive bombing me at least. I was standing by the pond where this big flowering bush? tree? is. This bee was the fattest little thing I have ever seen. I seriously wondered how it could even get off the ground with his little rotund body, But he would fly from flower to flower, go deep inside the petals, and go on about his business. Since I am severely allergic to bees, I kept my distance and used the zoom. Then I realized he wasn't really dive bombing me, he was just busy trying to collect as much pollen as he could. Where do they put it anyway? I'll have to ask Claudia, she's a bee keeper. I would train the lens on the flower he would bury himself.......as soon as he emerged I would take the pic. This was was my favorite, even though I ran screaming like a little girl. When I looked in the viewfinder, he looked like something from one of those freaking bee movies from way back when!

Day two of the color challenge Anna of Anna Carson Photography is doing. Of all the shots I took, this one is my favorite. I love the color of the pool and the sparkling water!

We went to the pool this afternoon. Of course three fourths of my bathing suits are black. As well as most of my flip flops. You seriously didn't think I was posting a pic of me in a bathing suit. Yeah, not happening here.

I love to do 'feet in the air' shots.

My sister-in-law M even offered up her black swimsuit and white thighs...prepare to be blinded by the white...oops, the light. Go ahead, go get your sunglasses. I will wait....

Were you blinded by the light?

Happy Thursday!

Project Black.....take one

Hot stone massage, originally uploaded by tommiea1.

Anna of Anna Carson Photography is doing another color challenge..... black.

I was so excited to see these were the stones for my hot stone massage I had this afternoon. I quickly snapped a few with Will's little camera I keep in my purse. Since I was so relaxed and almost asleep, I hoped at least one would turn out!

Also, they had these had blown glass balls suspended on thin string in the windows. It was so cool looking. I thought it would be a perfect window treatment for my orange bathroom. I am so going to do this!

Happy Wednesday, y'all!
