Is this REALLY my life?

Well, I finally decided to start my own blog since everyone else is doing it. Today has been rather trying. My kids were out of school and my 12 year old son (who incidentally suffers from ADHD) is driving me insane. Of course, it doesn't help any that his "daddy" is in Iraq and won't be home for at least another year. So...Keith and I went to Walmart today (he had a birthday earlier this week) to spend the rest of his money and he bought a remote control car. This thing is annoying as hell. lol. The dogs are in "hiding" around here and I have threatened to take the car away from him.

At least I was able to do something productive today. I went to our new Walmart and bought John a Play Station II game, Summer Sausages, stuff to make chocolate chip cookies, two huge things of Citrus Listerine, and I am currently making him a batch of homemade cheddar cheese/bacon bread. This is going to be his Christmas Box. I have no idea what else to send to a war zone. Heck...I think someone should send me a box.

You'll find having a blog addictive. Do you have to send John's package this early so he'll have it at Christmas? Wow!

LOL- Maybe someone WILL send you a box! It does sound like you need one.

Daphne! So glad you decided to start your own blog. Carolyn has me addicted ;) Hope Keith had a good b-day, and wow a Christmas box already...I'm sure John will greatly appreciate anything and everything you send him!

Thanks guys for the comments. lol. I think this is going to be a lot of fun.

Carolyn...yes, we have to get their packages off WAY early to ensure that they get there on time.

Cathy...lol I should just go out and buy me some goodies.

Courtney...Keith did have a wonderful birthday. I think Carolyn might have started something here. lol. I'm going to love this too. :)

I know I'm a little late getting here, but I just happened upon your blog. Jerky is really popular over there, even if your hubby doesn't like it. It can be used like currency over there, since it's so popular and everybody wants it. Send chocolate now too, since it won't make it when the weather starts to warm up. Our friends usually like fruit snacks too, especially if they have little kids, it reminds them of home.
The Ball picture almost looked like it could've been taken at our last Ball. But don't all Ball's kind of look the same?!! Welcome to the bloggersphere!
