For JeffB

Hello everyone! I have been out of the blogging world for awhile but have decided to come back into the family. Wow! So many things have occurred in my life since I last left. I guess I'll just start with the most recent and go down the list. Mastin learned how to ride his bike all by his self; that would mean no help from mom or dad; pretty impressive I think. He enjoyed that for about one whole week and then had the crash of his life! Two stitches in his lip and a broken tooth later he states, "I'm never riding that bike again!" He blamed his bike, of course, and not the fact that he was riding and talking to the neighborhood boy about his up coming birthday. I hate that he only had his permanent two front teeth since this spring. Yes, he broke his front tooth off! So, Cap City here we come!
I got my nose pierced. Yea, in the beginning of the summer. It was something I have wanted to do since I was in college. David has some really great tattoos and I just couldn't see myself with one. I tried and tried even found one, but even after finding the perfect one it just didn't give me the feeling. I read a book at the beginning of the summer called Stella in Heaven. It was about a middle aged women who died of cancer but still communicates with her husband from heaven. She tries very hard to find him a soul mate to spend the rest of his years with. Very funny book. I like books that make me laugh. Anyway, there was a chapter in which the daughter got a nose ring and when she came home with it everyone at the dinner table could not eat because of starting at her nose ring! I know I am sorely underscoring this book but anyway; it clicked! We were at the pool and I turned to David and said, "hey what do you think of nose rings?" He responded with an exclamation, "I think they are hot!" And that did it for me! He has tattoos, I got a nose ring! And we live happily ever after!
Some might be wondering why I deiced to come back, I'll tell you...it started with a book. My husband has a friend at work, JeffB, who insisted he read this book. David came home saying, "Jeff is insisting that I read this book, he said it was life changing, I gotta buy it." Well, as the person who would probably be running out to make this purchase I said, what book, where is it, how much is it, etc. I kind of ignored him thinking I have all my summer reads at hand, I am good. Nothing was said of the book for awhile until, David came home with the book! Oh, great, I really didn't care to burden myself with one more hopeful, life changing experience that would probably leave me disappointed again, so I sent him one his way to read. Especially after he told me it involved a child that was lost. "Oh no, I am not going read about a parent who looses a child and then uses the experience to make the parent stronger." This year has been long and taxing I just can't bear the thought of loosing a child. Especially when Mastin's rate of injury is one a year! Long story short, I read the book. It has changed my life! Just when I was really getting into the book and we, that would be just David and I, were heading out to vacation on the beach with my book, the sun and sand, maybe a frozen drink or two, JeffB had to have open heart surgery. Yes, the one day we are traveling for some total heaven he is on a table with his heart out of his chest to save his life. It moved me. I thought of him and prayed for him, along with David, all day long. He will be out of work for 8 weeks and from what David said at first he couldn't even sit up in bed. After finishing the book I decided to go back to blogging for JeffB. He had made a comment once about my blog, he told David that I was a real person who loves her husband, loves her family and has a real life. For what ever reason, I appreciated that. I guess the reason is I respond to outward expressions of approval and well meaning compliments. When I first started blogging I felt pressure to be a blogging mom. Alot of my friends blogs tells of funny stories about their children or families. I felt pressure to write about these darling children whom I really want to run away from at times. Yes, That's right, I said it, they drive me crazy! So I figured if JeffB enjoyed reading my blog before I would start again because he has nothing else to do except recover, so why not entertain him? I am grateful that he insisted on the book.
Jeff, when you recover I fully expect to see you running with David. Oh yes,! David, my smoking hot husband. He is getting ready to do a triathlon in 2 weeks. He is so healthy. I'm smoking about a pack of smokes a day. Aren't we a match? But that has to change, and soon. I have been smoking for 2 years now, after not smoking for 8 years. Its old, no more fun; well kind of; stinks , cost to much money and more importantly very, very unhealthy. I worry every day about getting cancer. Is this not stupid or what? If anyone has an answer to this question please let me know, "Why do we love the things that cause harm to our bodies ie, smokes, fried food, McDonald's, drinking? Is it because we know we shouldn't? Or is the urge to have these things what drives us to do it again and again? Even when we have it all to live for, I'm sitting here right now smoking!! Go figure!
So now I feel like Carrie on Sex and the City. Oh yes, ending an entry with a question. Well, I have a funny story about this. David took me to see the movie for our anniversary. Yea, I know he is awesome, however it refueled my need to "catchup" on all the episodes I had missed over the years. So, a side from reading my funny book and my life changing book I have watch all the six seasons of Sex and the City. I didn't realize that the DVD had no cuts and the the TV series cut alot and I mean alot out! Wow, at times it was almost like watching, well you know. I love the fact that they are all searching for love, except Samantha. She's just searching for fun. It makes me think of how I have it all. Well all, except for the 3 best girlfriends. I had a group of girls and we got together about once a month and it was so much fun, but that kind fell by the wayside. I feel like my life is enhanced by female relationships and I am a sociallizer. I love to visit. I guess, I like them, am looking for something too; to rekindle my female friendships. I love to get dressed up and go out to clubs with David. We have so much fun being together and looking around the room watching people trying to find their "one". I always tell David that they are looking for what we have already have! :) After spending the summer watching about 4 episodes a night I have suddenly been wanting to wear all my "hot" shoes. You know, the ones you wear when you go out. Yea, I want to wear my heels with my shorts and tee shirts. I like Carrie, have always loved shoes. I'm scared to do it though. I am scared everyone who looks at me will think I'm crazy going to pick up my boys from school in those heels! I mean we are moms, right? Wearing things that makes me feel good gives me life. It makes me feel good about myself, defines some of who I am on the inside. So another question, to wear the shoes or not?
JeffB I hope this made you laugh, you know laughter is good for your heart!
