Full swing summer

It is absolutely summer, and it's wearing me out already, haha.

 

Last week my family came up, and we shopped till I dropped.  But it was nice to see them, and the girls got some stuff out of it, so I can't complain. AND My sister was awesome and brought my sister in law a bunch of baby food since her youngest won't eat it.  So that was awesome. :)

 

Then this week was Brenna's birthday party.  It's one of Ivy's friends.  Her dad joined the military, so they moved to Texas so they don't get to see each other all that much.  So it was nice for them to get to spend some time together.  Then Ivy got to spend the night too, so that helped her a bit, and that's what matters.  I don't drive very much right now, so it was definetly an adventure, haha (and spelling BAD)  But we made it out there safe, and back.  Even though back was hard, cause it was shot day and the side effects had hit me HARD.  But we made it back home, where I laid down and relaxed to get the side effects to lessen.  It was just hard.  VERY hard.

 

Yesterday, while Sissy was gone, the youngest and I played some games, made some brownies, and just had a mama daughter day. We don't get to do that too often in summer cause I usually have both of them.  BUT, we are planning to change that soon.  Gonna take the time on the weekends for Daddy and I to have mama/ daddy daughter time.  We will each take one and do something awesome.  HOPEFULLY he remembers and we can do it this weekend. 

 

And then we need to bring back family night.  Any ideas on what to do?  We usually play games, but I want to do something different.  Just have to see what happens.  But any ideas would be very welcome. :)

 

 And I found an article I need to share with you.  Especially if you have younger children.  It really is a big deal, and it's something that not a whole lot of people know about:

Secondary Drowning

Read it.  Learn about it.  And learn what to watch for!

And I found another article that I found a little funny.  Hobby lobby is a great place to shop for art stuffs. Always loved shopping there.  I'd never work there - with the whole "we are a Christian business" and having to be a Christian to work there.  BUT, they do things that aren't very Christian.

Like this:
STOP calling Hobby Lobby a Christian business

Yeah, kinda crazy huh?

I've been listening to a lot of music, so I'm gonna share some more of the stuff I've been listening to.  Most of it is older stuff that's been out for a while, but it's stuff that helps my mood. :)

That song makes me think of the pool hall, and one very special friend.  We dated for a while, but then broke up - and this song makes me think of that time.  It doesn't really fit our relationship, but still. 

This is another one that reminds me of working at the movie theatre, haha.  Yeah, it was an interesting time for sure.

This song was my anthem during high school, and right after.  Hell, sometimes it still fits.  LOVE this song.  So much better than most of their new stuff.

This is one of the songs I actually really like, and I have no real idea why.  But hope you enjoy, hehe. :)

I've always loved this song too.

I'm so tired of being here.  That fits pretty well sometimes too.  This song is one that I can hear a lot and still love every time I hear it.

You still won't hear me!
Sometimes I feel like I'm screaming and nobody hears, and this is the song I listen to when I'm having one of those days.

Okie dokie.  Think that's all for now.
Seriously, if you have any family night ideas please pass them along to me.  It'd be nice to see what everyone comes up with.

I'm gonna go kill some more stuff in Guild Wars 2.

LATER TATER!
