How true is it?

I like this . . .
Say what you mean and be yourself because the people that mind don't matter and the people that matter don't mind.
Short and simple
 . . . yet, not always true if you think about the people that matter and mind all at the same time -out of care and concern . . .hm?!
but I still like it -it got me thinking.

A thousand piece puzzle

So, my puzzle had been coming together.  A huge gush of wind scattered a whole bunch of pieces I had worked so hard on putting together . . .
God's on my side, I know.  All this confusion is getting me to look to Him more -for Peace.  All this doubt is helping me learn to strenghthen my Faith.   My desires, my dreams, (that, at times, seem so out of reach) are pushing me to explore the "world" around me -what are all my options . . .
So many things are going on all at once . . .
I knew this year would be memorable one . .

It's sooo not fair!!!

So, Kryssa and I went out to visit with Chris (at Chick-fil-a) for a bit.  We got there at about midnight and didn't get home till about 1:30am!!  Kryssa was asleep by then, of course, but I still had to unload and put away the groceries.  I also had to clean up toys, clothes, shoes, dishes, trash, litter box, etc. . . . Well, I called Chris when I got home, around 1:30am, and he was already asleep.  Yes, he slept outdoors, in a tent and all -but how did he manage to get more sleep than I did?!?!  Ugh!!  I did so much running around, trying to make everyone happy and content, that I ended up getting the least amount of sleep.  He did have to wake up to be back in line, through the doors, by 6:30 am (while I was working on only my 3rd hour of sleep -I didn't go to bed until about 3:30am and I didn't fall alseep right away.  I haven't had to sleep w/out Chris, in our house, Ever! -we moved in in 2004; so it's been about 2 1/2 years!!  It wasn't easy falling asleep knowing that it was just me and Kryssa -w/ our kittens and puppy for 'proctection' (Well, besided God's protections -but you know what I mean, right?! As if our kitties and pup would proctect us! LOL)  Anyway, once Chris got his 'prize' he came home and slept .  .  . he got to sleep until 10am, while I had already been awake for 2 hours.  I only got about 4 hours of sleep!  -not to mention that when Chris went upstairs, he was on the phone and I didn't go back to sleep until he stopped talking, crawled into bed, cuddled up w/ me, and fell asleep -that was probably about 30 mins before I was to wake up ---and those mins. of sleep were the best out of the entire 4 hours because my mind was at ease knowing that he was right there next to me -ahhh. . . .
So, how is it fair that he is the one that wanted to camp out and sacrifice his sleep -yet, I was the one that got the least amount of sleep (restless sleep)?!   SO NOT FAIR!!  But he sure did have a blast and win some little things here and there for himself and Kryssa --not to mention, His supply of coupons for his free meals.
 So, coffee should have kicked in by now . . . but . . . mmmm, I still don't feel anything other than sleepy . . . ? . . . !

He sure loves his chicken!! LoL

I just got a phone call from my hubby . . .
He tells me that he has decided to stand in line at the new Chick-fil-a, on Medical, to win free chicken for a year (one combo meal per week).  Can you believe that?  Well, actually, most of you will be able to believe that -lol!!  I don't know why I'm so shocked -it's soooo what Chris does! lol  Um, the good news is that the first one hundred people will for sure win the free chicken and he stood in line as the 95th person -woo hoo!! He's a winner already -as long as he lasts out there till they open up tomorrow morning . . . which I know that he will! 
So, it's something like three hundred and fifty some dollars worth of free food -pretty cool for him (the bank is right next door to the chick-fil-a and he really loves to eat out for lunch time.).  I just can't believe that I will be sleeping alone tonight while he is out there for his free chicken! lol . . . Then again, at least I can sleep in bed while my poor hubby will be sleeping in a chair (hopefully my dad takes that chair to him -lol) . . . crazy man!  I don't think I would sleep outside for free chicken . . . a free baby grand/grand piano . . . probably . . .a free car . . .maybe . . . a free vacation . . . maybe . . . free body massages for a year -DEFINITELY!!! lol
So, I will be heading over there in a while to take his phone, which he happened to forget today.  I'll also be taking him some lunch, drinks, snacks and a little pillow and blanky . . . boy oh boy -I have to remind myself that this "Crazy Kosmo" (Kosmo, like Cosmo Cramer, was my little nickname for him since before we were dating) is who I fell in love with . . . there's just something about that craziness that I LOVE and adore . . .
If any one wants to go visit him and give him some company for a while . . . he would love that!
So, it's going to be a very very long day for me.  I always look forward to him coming home from work -especially after a full day of "mommy duty" . . . that won't be happening today so I have to make the best of all of this: taking care of my hubby while he stays outdoors for hours and hours and hours, taking care of Kryssa alllllll day and night and morning again, also, I will be running all the errands by myself today  (well, me and Kryssa -but no Chris . . *sniffle*)
I sure do love my Kosmo!!!

Good 'ol Fiesta! -w/ PICS

So, theres' nothing like enjoying a beautiful day at the King William's Fair -until . . .
You realize that your entire family is now haunted with horrible colds!   We just thought that we were dealing w/ typical allergies.  Kryssa slept for a long while -from about 5:45pm till about 8:40pm!  Not to mention that she had already taken her daytime nap .  .  .  Chris also fell asleep when we got back to my mom's house and I was exhausted enough to crash out on my parent's bed but I fought it off and tried to just enjoy hanging out w/ my parents. 
Well, last night, for me, was horrible!!  I was waking up about every hour because of a horrible stuffy nose . . . I have my trusty nasal spray but it wasn't lasting as long as it normally does.  Then this morning, my body was super achy, my throat was swollen and in pain, my ears felt as if q-tips were stabbing the insides -I also had so much pressure in my head that my eyes and ears felt like they were going to burst!  Oh, I still feel miserable; but I have been laying down all day and my body still just isn't comfortable.  I wish I had some better nasal spray -for those of you who don't know . . . if I can't breathe through my nose, I'm miserable and super aggrevated.  I must be able to breathe through my nose -MUST!!!
So, thankfully, Kryssa and Chris don't have it as bad as I do -they went out to eat and then to run some errands and make my weekly grocery run.  If it weren't for Chris going for me, I don't know what I would have done.  I had showered and dressed, thinking that I would be 'okay' to go to the store; but by the time I finished getting dressed, all the aches in my body were just too overwhelming for me to think of driving and walking through the store . . . ugh!! 
I guess being ill here and there comes along w/ home child care?!  I remember being ill frequently my first year of working at the daycare . . . now, it's in my home and it's harder to avoid.  If one gets sick, somehow it just passes to another if not everyone!
I just pray for a great night of restful sleep so that I can function tomorrow w/ the kiddos . . .   "Waaaaah!  I just want to feel better!!"
Here are some pics of the fun we did have yesterday!  Thank God that I at least had Saturday to enjoy!!
