That is all!

Questions from what where you expecting!

My friend Holly over at What where you expecting asked us ladies to do this. So here it is.


A little back ground first!

We eloped I was 17 and PG. At the time I didn't really tell to many people because I didn't want them to try to talk me out of it because we were so young. I knew what I wanted and I knew it was him. So my mom came with us to the court house to get our marriage lisence( in the state we lived in you had to be 18 or have a parent sign for you) beigns that we did it so quickly (decided to get married on a thursday and did it on that sunday) We didn't have a lot of money I was still in High school ( and for all you haters out there YES I did graduate from High school thank you very much! Not only is Honey an amazing husband hes a great dad too!) We bought a matching set of rings from the pawn shop.

How did he propose? Or did he at all? Well I wouldn't really call it a purposal. We had a discussion about it one day.
Honey: so do you... do you wanna get married?
Me : Sure when are you talkin about?
Honey: How bout this weekend?
Me : Sounds good to me.

How long were you together before he did? Three years

When did you get married (Time of year, date, time of day, etc)? March 24th 1996 in the early afternoon. We were married in my moms living room. LOL It was a really cold, snowy day there was about one and a half feet of snow on the ground!

Was it big or small? Did you regret doing it one way or the other (i.e. if it was small and intimate, do you regret not having a larger celebration?)? IT was VERY small. I don't have any regrets about the we I did it but I would've liked to have more of my family and friends there.I would have liked to have worn a dress too. Doesn't work too well being really big and PG.

Where did you register? What's the best gift you received? we didn't register! My family had a "wedding reception" for us nothing big just family. We got a lot of kitchen stuff. I still have most of it.

Who was your Maid of Honor? Do you still have contact with her? we didn't have brides maids or best men. My mom signed for me and my dad signed for my husband. I had one of my friends there and my sister. My husband invited one of his best friends. And yes I still talk to my mom I love her. Even though we were so young I love him and wouldn't change anything about the way we did things.






What were your colors? No colors My mom did make us a beautiful cake ( she was a cake decorator at the time. The BEST if I do say so my self. Not that I'm biased or anything HEHE) I still have the topper it sits in my china cabinent. "Pictured"

Any tips for cutting corners you can offer? no not really Nothing short of eloping sorry!

Any advice for the bride-to-be? Have fun! ,do what makes you and MM happy.

We are still happily married and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

SIDE NOTE: While we were in Vegas he purposed to me again. We were just getting out of bed the last morning we were there and he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him again. I said yes and that I wanted to wait till we got home cuz I wanted our daughter to be there. He slowly slid the ring (yes I got a second ring LOL) on to my middle TOE ( yes ladies and gents ) I said TOE. I thought this was unique and very sweet I loved it!
We'll be doing that someday but no rush we have the rest of our lives! Even then I don't want it to be big just a few friend and our families. END SIDE NOTE

Trailer trash

Here it is my confession! I am trailer trash. Actually, I don't have three cars in the yard and my moms not dating my uncle or anything but I do live in a trailer, much too my horror.

My family and I are tyring to build a house but before we can proceed with that we have to sell the trailer. In order to sell(Please DON"T ever buy a trailer If your thinking about it let me know and I'll find a hundred and one reaseon NOT to) the trailer we need to fix it up just general wear and tear but we have started painting and got new carpet and all that "fun" stuff. So for your enjoyment I have posted pictures of the two dif colors of the walls. Originally it had wall paper on it just white with flowers. The first color looked ALOT lighter in the can than obviously than it did on the walls. We are going to put new trim around the doors and ceiling this up coming weekend as you can see we took it off already (easier to paint that way!)
1ST color I like to call it shit brown!


2nd color toffee crunch! I love the walls this color

Amazing women Happy Mothers day

I love you MOM!

One Flaw In Women

By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime.
An angel appeared and said,
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"
And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable
and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken
heart
-and she will do everything
with only two hands."
he angel was astounded at the requirements.
"Only two hands!? No way!
And that's just on the standard model?
That's too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish."
But I won't," the Lord protested.
"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own
heart.
She already heals herself when she is sick
AND can work 18 hour days."
The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
"But you have made her so soft, Lord."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed,
"but I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.
The Lord replied,
"Not only will she be able to think,
she will be able to reason and negotiate."
The angel then noticed something,
and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.
Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."
That's not a leak,"
the Lord corrected,
"that's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy,
her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
Her loneliness, her grief and her pride."
The angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord.
You thought of everything!
Woman is truly amazing."

And she is!
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness,
love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
omen have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
PLEASE pass this along to all your women friends
and relatives to remind them just how amazing they are.

Eye infection

Ok so last week my husband had a really bad eye infection.(won't take out his contacts when they start to bug him.)

Honey "My eyes hurt."
Me "Then take out your contacts!"
H "ok" in whinney voice

About twenty minutes later I see him still rubbing his eyes.

Me "I thought I told you to take out your contacts!"
h " I tried and they rolled to the back of my eye balls and now I can't open my eyes to look in the mirror to take them out" (who needs to look in a mirror to take out their contacts if their just going in the garbage? Even if their not going in the garbage!

Time for bed
He still doesn't take them out!

At about 10:00 the next day (I'm in the car on my way home cuz I have a stomach bug.)
honey calls our conversation goes like this.

Honey "Sunshine where do I go to see someone about my eyes"

Me " We'll I'd skip the ER and Emerga care and go to the optomitrist cuz I don't know what the other two can do for ya."

Honey " Who should I go to?"

Me " Hold on I'll get the number."
I give him the number and he calls and sets up an appointment to see the eye doc right away.

He comes home and says I have a REALLY bad eye infection(duh) the doctor say I have to take eye drops for the next 24 hrs 1 every hour in each eye and report back tomorrow at 2:00. This includes over night. It was a long night!

The next day I get off work early so I can take him to the eye doc because he can't see to drive. At 2:00 we go back to the eye doc. He says the infection is stooped spreading but hasn't regressed any and to take the eye drops for a longer period of time and to see him the next day.

Mean while my house loooks like its been boraded up because his eyes are sensitive to the light. (which I understand cuz it hurts

WE go back the next day infection is regressing . doc says " take 4 qid and see me next tuesday!


So he takes the eye drops and misses the last appt (has a meeting for work can't reschedule) which was on tuesday.

This AM I get up and start looking for my glasses. I search high and low for a half an hour! By this time I'm late for work haven't gotten dressed or got the Monster up (can't see member) Finally I see them sooo NOT in the place I remember putting them but The monster got up in the middle of the night and maybe I moved them and don't remember. I put them on and everything is really blurry so I take them off clean them and again blurry.

I call honey

Honey " Hey babe. good morning! whats up"

Me " Honey did you wear your glasses to work today?" )(He has contacts too member)
honey " Yeah but I can't see out of them very well I even took them off and tried again"

Me " You can't see out of them cuz THEIR MINE"

Honey Giggling " Oh no wonder I thought I was going blind or somthing crazy. I figured cuz I had to cancel my appt that this was my just deserves."

Me " Your so funny I can't see with out my glasses" (my vision isn't all that bad but I could NOT do my job without them)

Honey "Well just wear mine" hes knows the answer to that but he had to try anyway!

ME " Yeah right I can't see five feet in front of me with these on" ( his perscription is much worse than mine!)
He makes arrangement to meet me at work so I can get them.


Its not the first time hes worn my stuff to work hes worn a cute little shirt I had once too. But thats an entirely diff story!

The monster

I have a monster he is about 2 1/2 feet tall. Although the monster is very ORNERY
He makes me laugh and smile when I've had a bad day or even a good day hes always doing something. WE read green eggs and ham today he literally laughed the whole way through! Just the laugh makes me smile!


All the silly little things they do amaze you. Rolling over the first time, First tooth, crawling walking, eating their first Cheeto, saying daddy or mommy! all those things we take every day for granted and they find amazing! Even the first time He stood in the corner is a feat by itself.

If there is something to be spilled with in a 20 mile radius he will be sure to spill it (he's good about cleaning it up) so as of right now I can't walk two feet in my place with out that sticky feeling on the bottom of my feet(can't quite get the OJ to come up with out it sticking. Plan on shampooing the carpets this weekend its my weekend off call)

He had a total fascination for Honey who to him is of course daddy. If daddy clips he glasses to the front of his shirt then the monster wants to as well. If daddy goes out side then the monster gets his shoes. He picks up the control for the play station and pretends to be daddy.


The way he dances to music (the monster LOVES music) all kinds of music throwing his hands in the air and bouncing. he has one dance style I like to call the sumo he spreads his legs out wide like hes getting ready to fight another sumo wrestler in his diaper and again with the bouncing!

Children are so incredible!

Tell me about your kids!

Song of the week

This is my song choice of the week something I'll be doing from now on. Renagade by Styx.
This one is a bonus cuz Jensen Ackles( Sammies brother in days of our lives for all you soap fans) and Jared Pasdaleck are HOTT. The clip is from the TV show supernatural.

Responsibility

For Christmas we got my daughter ( shes 11)a track phone. You know the ones where you have to pay for the minutes in advance. The deal was that she got the phone and then had to save her allowance to buy the minutes. We're trying to teach her responsibility and blah blah blah (cards cost bout 30.00 every 2 months). She did pretty good and got herself new minutes as time went on. In March she "lost the phone". My husband and I were very upset with her and told her if she wanted a new one she'd have to buy it herself. At the end of March we got my daughter a new phone and my husband told her she had to pay us back for it. He told her to draw up a contract (yes, those are the exact words he used) and that he was also going to charge her interest.

I have to tell you, at first I was a little upset with my husband over this. I mean, "Charge interest"? Please! But then he made some very good points about teaching her responsibility and how he wished someone had explained interest and loans and such to him before he got one from the bank and I had to agree with him.

But then, it turns out it was actually stolen from our house along with a few other things.

(not to worry I lock the doors now!) I'm from a small town where you could leave them open at night or during the day and not have to worry bout it. I now live in a bigger city and obviously the same rules don't apply here!
