Ahhh, the sound of NOTHING!!!

PJ is home from work earlier than usual today, so he took CJ and they headed out to do some errands together. At the top of that list is getting CJ a much needed haircut. That leaves me home alone to listen to the quiet. I am enjoying it so much. Don't get me wrong, I love noise of a 3 yr old boy playing and talking, but sometimes it is nice to have a break.

I think I may curl up for a nap.
Everyone enjoy their afternoon.

*UPDATE* I know that this is trivial, but...

UPDATE*** THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU LADIES THAT SAID A PRAYER FOR MY PICTURES TO BE RESTORED. THEY ARE!!! PRAISE THE LORD. PRAYER WORKS, EVEN FOR THE SIMPLEST OF THINGS. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Tomorrow I will be backing them all up and uploading them ALL to my winkflash account AND saving them to disc again.

Could/would you all PLEASE say a prayer that my pictures can be retrieved from my computer. A guy that works for my husband is a self proclaimed computer nerd/genius and he is coming over tomorrow evening (I think) to look and see what he can do for me/us.

It just makes me sick that a entire year of pictures/memories of our lives could be gone. UGH!!!

THANK YOU GIRLS, you are the BEST!!!

Wordless Wednesday: Like Father, Like Son

I know this is WORDLESS wednesday, but for those who don't know my husband installs flooring for a living. This was taken when we were re-doing our spare bedroom. Just for the record, we no longer have that UGLY border on the walls. ;)

this & that

WoW, it has happened. I can think of nothing to blog about today. Hmmm...maybe I should GET A LIFE!!! ha ha ha I have tons I would like to get done today, but NO motivation to get started. The house is spik n span...so not cleaning today. Maybe a load of laundry to finish up. I have to pick my niece up from school/cheerleading this afternoon and take her home. Which reminds me that I HATE to drive in the dark. And with daylight savings ending it will be almost dark at that time. FUN. The hubs is working TWO HOURS away today. UGH. Makes for a long day for him and US. (me & CJ) We had a lady over last night from an insurance company to go over life insurance policies and possibly health insurance with us. UGH!!! Obviously I need maternity coverage, MOST women do right??? Well in order to get the maternity coverage it is $106.00 more EACH month and is NOT GOOD for the first year of coverage AT ALL. WHAT? Is that legal? I know it is, but come on...it is NOT right!!! After the first year of coverage you can use it, BUT it still does not cover everything and won't cover ALL maternity expenses until AFTER five years. Ummm...I am thinking I could just save $100 a month for five years and pay for my OWN expenses, I would not need the insurance then. DUH!!! Ok, so that would ONLY be $6000.00 but still. Did I just say DUH? Not sure if anyone remembers, but a few weeks back I bought a flag to put on my Dad's grave. He has a garden flag holder at the head of his grave. Anyway, the flag was green with a bear fishing on it and said Go Fish. (just to refresh your memory. So I took the flag out to the cemetery and struggled to get it on the holder bc it was such a tight fit, but I managed. This was about a month ago. This past week the three of us (hubby, son and I) went out to put some flowers on his grave and the flag was GONE!!! Who does something like that? Steals from a grave? From a cemetery? From the deceased? Come on!!! I was in tears. It stills makes my stomach turn to think about it. I am in the process of buying another one. PJ says to buy a few of them and we will just keep replacing it. The sad thing is...we think we might know who took it. You see, this is not the first time something has come up missing from out there. And it is ALWAYS the things I take out. Never is it something my sister or niece or Grandma takes out. Isn't that SAD? If the above was not bad enough...yesterday I was trying to post a picture on here of my award and discovered that ALL my pictures from 2008 were GONE. History. For whatever reason it says the folder was corupt. ??? No clue!!! I was able to retrieve a FEW of them from another location, but only a few...hundreds are still MIA. This makes me SICK!!! I cried for an hour yesterday over this. Today is Veteran's Day and as I sit here typing this I can here the bands playing in the parade. I want to THANK all the Veterans' out there for the hard work, dedication and service. You help(ed) to make this country what it is today. And it does not go un-noticed or un-appreciated. Not in this house anyway. THANK YOU!!!

I was tagged...x2

I feel so loved!!! I was tagged by Lisa @ MY JOURNEY THROUGH INFERTILITY and by Stacey @ McCrakensx4 . If you have not already you should check them both out. They are awesome women who LOVE the Lord. Thanks girls!!!
The rules are to list 15 things I am not ashamed to admit. And then tag a couple other bloggers to join in the fun. Let's see what I can come up with. ENJOY!!!
1. I love the Lord!
2. I miss my Dad, everyday!
3. I am afraid of dying before seeing my son (or any future children of mine) grow up.
4. I do not believe in divorce AT ALL.
5. I am still friends with half of my ex-boyfriends.
6. I only have two ex-boyfriends.
7. My husband and I "met" in high school, but were not friends. We sat next to one another in home room for two years. We ran into each other several years later while sharing most of the same friends at that point.
8. My heart breaks that my son will never remember/know my Dad.
9. My husband and I want to move, but do not want to leave our church, so we have opted from moving out of state TWICE for this reason. We LOVE our church family.
10. I wish I were more outgoing and not so shy. (this will shock some people)
11. I want to have a large family, but time is running out.
12. I also want to adopt a child.
13. I gave my cabbage patch doll a bath with out asking when I was little. She had to hang on the shower rod to dry for a week and still to this day has a huge water mark on her belly. My son (3.5) gave his plush Handy Manny doll a bath the same way. Manny bathed in the sun for a day and was OK.
