Lazy Sunday






















Today has been a great day but sad. This morning Owen and I slept in while Daddy went to work. Owen and I got up around ten and went to one of my favorite places. I love the farmers market. Yum, we got Brett plums, Owen got grapes and I got strawberries, corn and asparagus. It was a quick trip to the market because we knew exactly what we needed. After that we had lunch with Lauren. Tomorrow Lauren (my best friend) is moving to Colorado :(. I am excited for her but also sad. We have lived near each other for almost a year now and I am mad at myself for not seeing her enough. I took it for granted that she lived so close to us. Our lives have been in a different place for awhile now and it was always hard to make it work to hangout together. She seems happy about her move and I hope that the move is amazing for her. I wish her the very best in Denver and will miss her so much.

Owen's Post

Owen is telling me what to write so all of this you may not understand...

"The guy steps on the cricket in Spiderwick, and the girl stabs the bad guys with her sword. It cuts his skin. I love my black spiderman. Dad cut his finger today and it was bloody. At school today we did centers and Cordell is cool but he likes pink. Dad picked me up at school today, and is cooking me hamburgers. This morning before school we made eggs and I cracked them and ate them. My spiderman has a web on top and a web. His leg moves this way. Today I put my bad spiderman in the refrigerator.  we put away our paper.

My name is Anna and I'm a mac



So, I'm officially a mac user. We got an iMac yesterday and she is beautiful. Thank you Pop!!!! I always thought I would be a PC, I was wrong. I am in love with it. If Brett will share it probably means more blog time. <3

It's the weekend again!!!


I miss O man so much! I am so happy this week is over. Weekend plans... don't really have any. That's not a bad thing. Owen comes home Sunday and Brett promised me a date night Saturday night. Don't really have much to say tonight. I'm really missing my boys.

Weekend
















This weekend we left the city behind for time on the ranch with the family. As soon as Brett asked if I want to get out of town I was ready to go. We went to the ranch Friday night and stayed just one night because Brett had to work today. Our weekend was filled with family, food and 4-wheeling, snakes and fun. I'm sad the week starts tomorrow. Here are a few highlights of the weekend.

A morning of I hate...

So yesterday I had a sore throat. Took some sleepy time medicine and was woken up this morning at 4:38 AM to some guy starting his truck outside our window. So here comes a list of I hates....

1. I hate living in an apartment (i.e. hearing every time someone below, above or beside you turns on their water. Sometimes you can hear people peeing in the toilet... really not joking. When your apartment is next to the parking lot, you hear them start their cars, they are not nice enough to keep their lights off at 4:38 AM until they are not in your window. Every time the kid upstairs rides his Heelys across his kitchen floor. Not having a yard for Owen to play in. Hearing him ask why other people have yards and we don't. Then he tries to prove we are better by saying "but they don't have a parking lot like we do!" Ha Ha, makes me feel so accomplished. Having to walk 1/2 a mile to get my mail out of some tiny hole that the mail never fits in. Having to fight for a parking spot at your own house. Carrying groceries upstairs without help and a sleepy 4 year old wanting you to carry him while I am holding 8 bags of groceries. Getting notes on our doors warning us if we do anything at all we will be fined... every time we get one more note the fine goes up. (They might as well threaten jail time)
2. Being sick
3. Student loans
4. Overdraft Fees
5. Being called "step mom" because someone is insecure about themselves
6. Working
7. Being poor
8. Not spending enough time with my family
9. Living for the weekends
10. 2 door cars when you have children
11. Getting up everyday at 5:30 then driving for 30 minutes in traffic
So, I think that's enough for now. It makes me angry every time I write more.

It's just one of those days!
