Friday letters

It's Friday so it's time for Friday letters :)

Dear students, ya kinda suck getting the work done I asked of you, granted it might have been too much, but still, come on! Oh and PLEASE tell me you were good for the sub today. I really don't want to come back to my usual crappy note. K? Thanks!
P.s. some of you are sure finding your humor and its been hard to keep a straight face, please stop being funny, I have a reputation to uphold.

Dear husband, I am SUPER excited for this weekend and so glad we are able to get away together. I think we really needed this, or at least I did. I still love you to the moon and back!

Dear mom, THANK YOU soooo much for watching our munchkins. I know they can be a handful, but I swear they are better for you than they are for us. I hope you three have a great weekend!!!

Dear Army wife friend, I cannot thank you enough for meeting me for lunch at Olive Garden! It was much needed!!! I really hope we can work put a trip to Sea World together soon!!!!
P.s. you need to move back down here!!!!!

Dear 689th, my heart breaks for you and the loss of one of your soldiers yesterday. I cannot imagine what your family is going through and I pray for them. I know you all saw more than your fair share of crap overseas. RIP Spc Ganz
(This one hit a little too close to home seeing as this is a soldier in M's unit. It could have been him, I am so grateful that it wasn't and my heart breaks for his family)

Dear strong bonds, please be gentle. Thanks!!!

Have a great weekend!!!!!!

BEST Super Bowl commercial EVER, not best game ever

If you are friends with me on facebook, then you saw me comment and post on this. OMG!!!! Did you all see this commercial??? I literally cried through most of the whole thing. Whoever designed this commercial had someone they loved overseas. It hit on EVERY.SINGLE.EMOTION that comes with having your spouse or loved one deployed and the sheer joy it is to welcome them home. I applaud whomever designed this commercial and LOVE it. Although I can't re-watch it without crying, so watching will be limited. But I did love it.




Other than this one and the Budweiser commercial, I was pretty disappointed this year. The commercials were not funny. I wish they would go back to the ones they had in the 90s. Does anyone remember the Budweiser frogs? Best one ever as well.

The half time show left a lot to be desired. I was unimpressed with her and expected more from her. Lizzie was not impressed either seeing as she fell asleep during the performance.

Doesn't she look so sweet while sleeping? Can't tell that she was SCREAMING her head off for like a half hour before this can ya? Let's pray it's not ANOTHER ear infection and it's only teeth coming in. Our poor baby, anytime she gets a runny nose, she gets an ear infection. I'm afraid she is following in my footsteps when it comes to ear infections. Both kids never show normal symptoms of ear infections, so it's usually me going by my gut instincts as to when to take her in. Sometimes I'm wrong and feel like an idiot at the doc's office, but 9 times out of 10 I am right.

Anyways. I'm not a huge football fan, and neither is M so we don't watch it very often. In the past I generally only watched the Super Bowl for the commercials. This year, because we were at someone else's house, I watched the game. Now I remember why I use to mute the game and watch the commercials. Booorrriiinnnggg. (sorry to those that like watching football)
Anywhooooo it's Monday again and it's back to the grind and back to work. :(
Have a great Monday everyone!!!!

Milspouse First Friday Fill-In and Friday Letters

I love doing the first Friday fill-ins. So here we go!

1. What's one thing in the past month you would have changed?
Probably my eating habits. I have been wanting to lose this weight since I gained it all back and it's not coming off. I know I need to eat better and find the motivation to get to the gym, but it just didn't happen this month :(

2. What was your favorite thing that happened in January?
Getting to see some family I don't see very often. Getting to watch my favorite aunt play with Little L and Princess was just amazing.
Plus getting to see my cousin, who is like a brother to me, and getting to know his new girlfriend was awesome! We had a LOT of fun hanging out with them.



M had to jump in and be silly



I look horrible, but I was also fighting with M to keep his hands out of the pic

3. What are you looking forward to in February?
Hopefully getting to the gym
Seeing my Army Wife friend and have an Olive Garden Date.
Hopefully taking the kids to Sea World
Our upcoming Strong Bonds Retreat
Seeing Jeff Dunham in Tampa






4. What are your plans for Valentine's Day?

No plans as of yet. I am thinking we will either do something special just us or something special as a family. I'm thinking we'll do something as a family and maybe get steaks or something and eat at home. Stay away from the craziness. Plus we already bought little valentine's for the kids. It was M's idea and it melted my heart that he thought to do that.

We've never been big on celebrating the day.

5. What is your best advice for a MilSpouse whose spouse is deployed for Valentines Day?

My best advice would be to find something for either you and some girlfriends or you and your kids to do. Whether you go out to eat, order something in or make something you know they will love.

Now time for Friday Letters:

I had fun doing these last week, so I thought I would give them a shot again.

Dear Students:

Please don't make me regret the recent changes I made to the way we complete our assignments. I hope the individual responsibility and finding your own drive will help you succeed on the test. Please, I beg you, don't make me regret this. I think these new changes could be really cool and fun for you, if you don't blow it.

Dear Government:
I fear that our founding fathers would be so upset with how our government is run these days. Shame on you people, you are NOT upholding our constitution. Again, shame on you!

Dear Husband:
I'm sorry you are not feeling well again. I hope you get over this sickness soon. But I do appreciate you taking care of Little L while he was sick this week. You are an amazing husband and father.

Dear Family:
I am soooo excited you came to visit. I just wish I had been off work so that I could have hung out with you more. But alas our bills need to be paid. I just hope you all come visit more.

Dear Kids:
You two are too dang cute! I love you both with all of my heart and am so proud to be your mommy.
